"The Magical Touch of Thank You Notes" by Z.

-
A few weeks ago, I received the cutest card in the mail (shown in the picture) from one of my very good friends, Meghann. It was a handwritten note from her, saying “Thank You” for organizing her surprise birthday dinner party.



When I was putting together her party, I had no expectations to receive anything back from her, other than seeing her happy with all of her close friends. She is a very dear friend to me and I wanted to do something special for her.

When I received her thank you note, she made me feel so special and put a huge smile on my face! :)

For many of us, saying “Thank You” after receiving a gift, or getting help from someone who has gone out of his/her way for us, might seem enough to show our appreciation. However, I guess we all just underestimate the power of the tiniest personal touch such as a thank you note until we receive one.

I believe that no matter how busy we are, composing a few lines on a card and dropping it in the mail is a very magical and personal touch of saying “Thank You” which shows good manners.

How do you write a good thank you note?

A thank you note is a very special way to express our gratitude to someone. It is very personal and very memorable. Therefore, to me, there is no specific guideline to write a thank you note other than expressing ourselves with the words that are truly and sincerely coming from our hearts to show our genuine appreciation…even if it is in just a few lines.

I also think that sending a handwritten thank you note is thousands times better and more special than a typewritten one.

If you really want to turn writing thank you notes into a habit of yours, I would recommend ordering personalized name and address stamps. 

Here are a few sites that you can get your personalized stamps: 
You can also customize your postage at PictureItPostage.com:





Next time when you receive a gift (birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, or you name it!) or when you are the recipient of a good deed, make sure to return that special feeling with a thank you note.

Try it, and I guarantee you'll be amazed by the results.

Sleep No More, Photo by Yaniv Schulman. I really wanted to start this article with a short summary of the show in my own words. However, still to this date I have no clue what happened in the show thanks to the great creative team of Sleep No More who were fabulous at messing (I am being polite here by not using the F word. But trust me, they truly F'ed up our minds!!!!) with our heads. I feel like an idiot but based on what I read online I know I am not the only one who is still clueless to some degree of this show!!! Lovely!? But in short... EMURSIVE, collaborated with London’s award-winning PUNCHDRUNK , rented and reinvented the McKittrick Hotel to present Shakespeare’s classic Scottish tragedy, Macbeth, through the lens of suspenseful film noir. As a side note... McKittrick Hotel was built in 1939 to be New York City's finest and most decadent luxury hotel of its time, which unfortunately condemned and left locked six week...

My awesomely fast social life has officially started to slow down since Sunday (yesterday :p) when most of my great friends had left for Turkey for their summer break. Now that I have so much time on my hands, I have decided to bring myself back to the kitchen and cook again. Boy have I missed cooking! I spent my entire Sunday grocery shopping, cooking and baking, and I feel sooo good right now. (White Beans with Meat served with Pilaf and Tzatziki, and Traditional Turkish Sesame Pastry) I have made some traditional Turkish dishes as I was craving for them and I wanted to share them with you. There are four different recipes involved so I decided to divide them into 3 different posts Part 1:  White Beans with Meat (Etli Kuru Fasulye) + My Mom’s Pilaf (Pilav) Recipes Part 2: Cacik, or as our komsu (neighbor) calls it, “Tzatziki.” (Recipe by my brother.) Part 3: Traditional Turkish Sesame Pastry (Kandil Simidi) Hope you guys like them!...
