Jumper's indestructible glasses

Hello, i suggest you this viral video for the advertising campaign of this extraordinary, indestructible pair of glasses.



And this word, "indestructible", remind me to us receptionists, indestructibles to high-level stress and guest's requests. We flex but we don't tear....lol


If you are interested, i leave you the link to Jumper's website.
The campaign seems to be effective and attractive, because after seeing this video i want a pair of Jumper's too.

How to tie a tie

How many times in your receptionist life did you make a necktie knot?
How many times did you try and try again without having the right result?
Do you know the name of the tie knot you do daily before starting work?

What is a Windsor? And an Half Windsor? And an Onassis?
Right, read carefully this post and watch to the videos to know the 4 most common tie knots, plus a fifth knot not too common but i think the best for its linear result, and all your dubts will be easily clarified.

After that you will be capable to tie a tie as you prefer, avoiding to use the most common  Four in  Hand knot, the easiest and fastest knot, but surely not the most beautiful one.

For us, at reception desk, is very important the figure, cause we are the first image of the hotel for the guests and the first impression of the managemet attitude.
So it's clear that a receptionist with a nice impeccable tie knot will give to the guest a first professional impression of himself and of the hotel.

After that i will leave you watching to the 5 videos, hoping that will be helpful for you.

1. Four in Hand Knot




2. Half Windsor Knot




3. Full Windsor Knot




4. Pratt Knot




And the last one, the Onassis Knot that for its elegance is the most beautiful one, the tie goes straight down without winkles. Absolutely Fantastic!



And so? Are you here?
Did you choose your tie knot?
Or did you understand wich knot you do daily?
Well; i just remember you that we have to thank our croatian friends for the tie invention.
In facts the croatian cavaliers, making war for the french king, Luis XIV, used to wear a scarf around the neck, called "croatta scarf", by whom the name "cravate" given by the french, deriving from "hrvat", that means  "croatian".

Here some link to find out other tie knots:
In total exist between 50 and 80 different tie knots, even if in many cases the difference is so thin, that most of them seem to be the same.
For more information here you have the link to wikipedia page about necktie and its origins.
