LESSON ONE:
Etiquette – “the forms required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be observed in social or official life.” syn. Decorum.
This etiquette monologue is for host families in the Bettina Network as well as guests. We will tell our stories through true anecdotes, but don’t worry, we won’t use your names or even your initials. If you pretend it was someone else, so will we. If you have stories from your guests or if you are a guest and have stories from your stay in a bed and breakfast home, please don’t hesitate to share your wealth of experience.
Assorted Bed & Breakfasts
Today bed and breakfast – as a stay in a private home -has spread around the world and people of many different cultures are opening their homes to bed and breakfast guests. Cultures, which once would have been appalled at the thought of strangers staying in their homes, are fast adapting and enjoying turning their home into the house by the side of the road which welcomes strangers.
An even more common phenomenon is that of people from different countries, cultures, religions etc. staying together in the same house, living in a style close to that of an extended family.
However brief or lengthy the stay might be,
one needs an awareness of social dos and don’ts
during those two, three or more days
under a stranger’s roof,
interacting with other strangers.
A Boor
Who after all, wants to be thought of as a boor and find there are no availabilities when one calls for another reservation – even though it is February and the home in Antarctica in which one wants to stay is totally empty with no guest reservations until July?
—-Even more to the point—-
who wants to remember
and be remembered
as someone who caused another pain that could have been avoided?

I Tried Your Liquid Vitamin C….
Friday, August 9th, 2013It was terrific. I started using it when I heard about it at a Bettina home. Liquid C is a little difficult to find, but I discovered it in a Vitamin Shop. It comes in a bottle – like a milk bottle – and the bottle is covered with an orange plastic wrap. That was great for me because it says you have to keep the liquid C in a dark place. I keep mine in the refrigerator and the orange wrap keeps out the light.
I started by pouring a little into a saucer and after a few days I added a Vitamin E capsule to the liquid C. The combination has been fantastic. I was beginning to look my age and now I look as young as my daughter – and that is no exaggeration.
I only used the liquid C on my face because that is the only part of me I take care of – you will not bump into me in a gym nor will you find me exercising at home nor walking. My neighbor, however, goes the entire route. She watches what she eats, exercises, does all the good things. She didn’t know about your blog so I introduced her to the blog and to what I learned at a Bettina Home about Liquid C. My host talked about giving herself an all-over massage with the liquid C – well that is what my neighbor has been doing and she says her energy level is not to be believed. Her tendency to catch every cold within a mile of her house has also stopped. She hasn’t had a cold since she started this regimen.
I wanted her to write about her experience herself, but that won’t happen so I will try. She gives herself an all-over massage with the vitamin C when she gets up in the mornings. Only recently has she started mixing the C with clipping a capsule of Vitamin E and mixing it with her vitamin C.
She then puts her cotton pajamas back on and goes back to bed – with the C and E all over her body. I hope she sleeps alone because that could be a small mess.
When she is ready to get up for the day, she rinses herself off in the shower, dresses and is on her way. No lotion, no make-up, nothing added after the shower.
I wondered about that because I spend lots of money on lotions, but not for my face – I am committed to the Vitamin C with the Vitamin E capsule in the mix.
She looked fine when she started this, but now – after some weeks of this, she looks fantastic. It is almost enough to make me try the same thing, but my energy level is not up to the daily task and I am not nearly as disciplined as she is – but then I don’t look as put together as she does every single day.
I look forward to your blogs on what you are discovering in the health and beauty section. I think I have tried everything, but the liquid C was the most outstanding and gave me unbelievable results – so I had to write and tell you about my experience.
Ed. Note: Thank you for the note. You might also want to read or re-read the blog on “My Feet and Liquid C” dated Sept. 28, 2011
