Main har saal is waqt ka intezaar karta hoon! Why I Host Winter Fest Every Year (And Why It Means the World to Me) ❄️🔥 You know that feeling when winter rolls around, and all you want is something warm, comforting, and just right? That’s exactly why the Mangosteen Cafe Winter Fest happens every year it’s my way of bringing that cozy magic to life. But here’s the thing: It’s not just about the food (though, let’s be honest, those sizzlers are life-changing 🔥). For me, hosting Winter Fest is like an annual crash course in life and business. |Here’s what it’s taught me: 🌟 Tradition Is Powerful: Every year, people walk through our doors and say, “We’ve been waiting for this!” That’s when it hits me: consistency is more than just a good habit it’s the heart of trust. 🍳 It’s Not Just Food, It’s Feelings: Sure, the sizzling dishes are great, but what really makes it special? The laughter, the conversations, and the “one more bite” moments that linger. This festival reminds me that a great business isn’t about selling it’s about feeling. 🔄 Reinvention Keeps the Spark Alive: Every Winter Fest, we switch things up a new menu, a fun twist, or just tiny touches that surprise people. It’s a lesson I carry everywhere: evolve, experiment, and never stop being curious. 🤝 Community Is the Real MVP: Let’s be real Mangosteen wouldn’t be what it is without the incredible people who show up, year after year. Winter Fest isn’t just a celebration of food; it’s a celebration of you. So why do I do this every winter? Because it’s not just a festival t’s a reminder. A reminder of why I started, what I’ve learned, and how much further we can go together. Here’s to another year of sizzling memories, cozy vibes, and lessons served hot! 🥂 #mindset #success #monday #business #growth #linkedin #marketing #branding

"Should I invite my fresh date to a family holiday dinner?" 🤔 It’s exciting to introduce someone new to your family, but is it the right time? Here’s how to know if you’re ready to take that step: Gauge Your Connection: Are you comfortable and enjoying each other's company? If the vibe is strong, it could be a fun experience for both. Check Their Comfort Level: Is your date ready to meet the family? Keep an open conversation about it. Set Expectations: Keep it light and fun! A family holiday dinner shouldn’t feel like a serious commitment; just enjoy each other's company. Trust Your Gut: If it feels right, go for it. If you’re unsure, maybe wait until you have more time together before the big introduction! What do you think? Would you invite a fresh date to a family gathering?

🍃 S T O R Y T E L L I N G E V E N T🍃 Cacao & Conversation 🌳 Today is the day Agostina arrives here, in a bit of a wet Wales 🤗 but we’ll definitely be giving her a warm welcome ❤️ Tomorrow will be the last day to buy your tickets for Saturdays event. And a huge thank you to all that have bought tickets and are looking forward to it as much as we are ❤️ When I knew that I wanted to create Storytelling Events, my thoughts were that they would be emotive, engaging, and full of engaging energy. I’m confident that they do all of these things 🙌 During my drive this morning I couldn’t help think about storytelling (as I do quite a lot). Some of the best stories I have heard have been at the most unusual places. For example, in queues at the supermarket, sat in cafes, at workplaces, and during my time in university. I enjoy attending talks in big venues, and have heard some incredible stories at them. However, what I wanted to create was something personal, intimate, and pretty damn special. My vision remains the same, and creating this environment is very important to me. The Tea Estate, is a pretty special place to hold events 🍃 Meeting people by accident, is also something that happens to me a lot too. Although, I don’t think there are any accidents going on 🙌 If you’d like to attend this Saturday, please follow the link to book your ticket. Tomorrow is the last day to secure a ticket 🤗 https://lnkd.in/eraqAfQc #storytellers #selfcare #kindness #motivation #wellbeing #smallevents #kindnesspromises #mindset #kindacts #lovewins #buildalifeyoulove #gratitude #connections #buildingcommunity #storytelling #bekindtoyourself #nature #community #thankyou #growth #whatsyourstory #thecatspyjamas
