Self Care Advice for Business Travel

Self Care Advice for Business Travel

Hi there, Hope your enjoying Maria Kamon Podcast @MKPDE here is the latest business advice for those who have to travel.

1. Day before; have all things you'll need packed in luggage. Eat healthy and be sure to exercise.

2. Drink a cup (8oz) of water ever 30 minutes to say hydrated. Also hydrating is unsweetened tea and coconut water.

3. Avoid taking naps the day of travel.

4. Take a walk instead or sit poolside for thirty minutes. Medial News today recommends that being in the sunshine for 30 minutes is healthier than a power name of 20-30 minutes.

5. Change your eating times to local eating times. If you are hungry at your regular times then eat a snack or easily digested foods.

How Musicals Have You Seen the Queens Musicians In

How Musicals Have You Seen the Queens Musicians In

How many musicals have you seen the The Queen's musicians in, I thought to myself as I watched the video of the Queen Elizabeth's playing music again. How beautiful it all looked, just in time for the Holiday Season. Perfect Trival Presuit game don't you think? It might just raise funds for all her charities.

The Return of Formal Events

The Return of Formal Events

What is the "WOW Factor" why and how it exist. What is the understanding of what you are experiencing. Event planning is about all the little details and this podcast is in the hope of the return of formality and WOW events. As the government opens up our country, I am hoping all of you get the opportunity to attend a "Formal Event" allowing you to experience a wow factor. From formal invitations to entering a venue and seeing the decor that can evoke an emotional response from the attendee.

The Craziness of Event Planning

The Craziness of Event Planning

In the world of event planning things can sometimes become extreme. When the customer wants a certain something they saw a photograph of and printed it from Pinterest or when they want an item that is no longer manufactured. When the person has a $2.00 budget and wants a $200, 000 event. All that we can do is the best we can do. During these times my advice to everyone is to just do the best possible. Perfection is difficult to obtain.
Try something new and see if it will fit in your lifestyle. If it doesn't it doesn't no sense in beating yourself or someone else about it. It's personal choice of what, when, who, how we want to follow. For more information follow Maria Kamon on social @MKPDE or visit website mkpurediamondevents.com

After the Games

After the Games

What can business expect after the 2021 Olympic! The timing of the 2021 Smart Star Award couldn't have been better. These awards are like the Olympic Awards in the hotel industry. The United States is a pretty interesting in awards. As we are proud of the Olympians so should we be of our communities. The articles will be written now on how to raise an Olympic child. Not only articles books will be written. How will this affect the meeting, wedding and event industry and travel. Just like Olympians they strive to succeed while keeping people safe. Therefore, I recommend that if traveling hold on to the mask. Each state community has the right to implement the rules and regulations necessary for public safety. Be smart take care of yourself by doing what is right for yourself this helps others do what is right for themselves and this way we work together to stop the spread Covid 19. Be smart don't lose your mask yet. Not everyone has been vaccinated. Prepare yourselves and if traveling set some money aside for extra expenses. So you don't get stranded.

Invitations

What is an event, a wedding, a meeting without guest? We just experienced that with Covid19 many of us saw things we wish we hadn't.
The quality of the invitations expresses or gives a clue to the thinking process and the thoughtfulness of the people planning the event. Careful thought and planning goes into invitations an a whole education process. Listen to this podcast and see what you agree with?

Rant | Identity Thief | Fraud (Concern About Where My Anchor Paycheck Went)

Rant | Identity Thief | Fraud (Concern About Where My Anchor Paycheck Went)

Looking up to see how exciting things are that people are slowing going back to their normal routines. Makes me feel Happy and Joyous toward then world. Then I look to only discover my anchor paycheck is missing. I was waiting to see if I should attach my credit card only to discover the funds are missing as of today. They were there the last time I did a podcast, lead me to rant about the frustration event planners are feeling that people somehow think our job is to feed them or make them money, or event plan their personal life. That isn't what Im paid to do as a wedding, meeting, or event planner.

Controversy International Woman’s Day

Controversy International Woman’s Day

I hope this open’s dialogue on what it means to be a woman in business and the roles we play. I know the importance of supporting people as they try to make things new. However, learn from woman. Not all woman see things the same way. If you give a man a problem and a woman the same problems they will always have different ways of resolving the same problem. How can we better the way we do things so people don’t hurt?

Stay Home Stay Safe Party Theme for 2020 Holidays

Stay Home Stay Safe Party Theme for 2020 Holidays

I decided since MK Pure Diamond Events doesn’t usually plan private parties I’d do some research on the 2020 themes. Here are eight party themes for this year. Again these are themes you can do with items around your home. You do not have to go out and purchase the items mentioned. You can just make them at home. Please be advice I do mention a couple of businesses that I have used before. This is not a sponsored podcast. If you’d like to sponsor this program, please contact anchor or myself and we will proceed with the formalities.

Hang on to Hope

Hang on to Hope

There is hope in 2021, I think the MPI WEC Conference will see some changes that will bring. Some of those will be things event planners implement in their business, others will be what I like to call the trickle down effect. These are changes that happen after the event to the world. For example, the way we think of a product or the way a product is used. How we recycle, how we think about the world and the people in it. It will be interesting to see not only what new things are created also how the rules and regulations of planning meetings, weddings, and events. So all eyes are on Texas this November in the Event industry. On country in the elections.
