What for a stag party? Organization of an unforgettable stag party

The office landscape as we know it has changed a great deal in recent times. This is due to the changing nature of the work we do – and the different needs and expectations that come along with it. What used to do the job some years ago may be completely obsolete nowadays. But is office redesign always the answer to such changes? Maybe there are some other ways to make the workplace keep on serving its purpose?  

Why companies decide to redesign their office spaces?

There are many factors behind the decisions for office space redesign. Companies choose to redesign their offices because of low productivity levels, too much unused space, not enough space, inconsistency of the design with the brand, etc. Every organization has its own reasons, of course. They need, for example, more flexibility, a more modern feel and look, they want to provide their employees with a better work environment, take care of their well-being. These reasons are all valid, but the challenge involved in the process of redesign may sometimes be really big.

Challenges in redesigning an office space

Some of the most commonly reported concerns and challenges when it comes to redesigning the office space include changes in the style of management and communication resulting from shifting from e.g. closed cubicles to open-plan layouts or the other way round, getting the right mix of different sorts of rooms and spaces, making the office accessible to everyone, and making best use of the available space. That’s quite a lot to take in at the decision-making stage, and the majority of organizations say they still never get it right the first time. Add to that budget limitations and you can see that such an undertaking is never easy. 

Office redesign alternativesIn light of the above, decision-makers tend to seek for alternate ways to refurbish their offices. And there are options that make redesign possible without changing the entire layouts. One such option is to furnish the office with new furniture that has been designed in response to the needs and expectations of modern workforce, with flexibility, privacy, and well-being in mind. Example? The hushMeet office pod by Hushoffice, which can act as a standalone meeting room (for both offline and online collaboration) and a chill-out zone on demand. Even small changes can make a big difference.

Proper nutrition for your dog is the foundation of his health and proper functioning of his body. Every pet is different, but the composition of its food and nutritional requirements are the same, only the daily portion of food differs. We will tell you how to read the composition of dog food and what your dog’s daily meal should consist of

How should I choose my dog’s food?

Dog food, both wet and dry, should consist primarily of meat. But what is meat in dog food? Very often on the label of a dog food you will come across the heading: “meat and products of animal origin”. The number next to this entry is usually high, but does that mean the food is good? Unfortunately not. After the mentioned entry in the composition there is a specification that hardly anyone pays attention to: including (usually) 4% of meat. A food that contains only 4% meat cannot be a good source of energy and nutrients for your dog. Offal, which is also abundant in dog foods, is also not meat. However, a high offal content is not the worst thing, such food is not the best, but it is suitable for your dog. The food should have in the first place in its composition muscle meat, which is the basis of the dog’s diet. After the meat, there should be vegetables, then offal, and finally fruits and dietary supplements, such as flax or salmon oil. You can buy good quality food for your pet at https://taniakarma.com/

BARF diet

Are you familiar with the BARF diet? It’s an abbreviation in English that expands into Biologically Appropriate Raw Food, loosely translated: biologically appropriate raw food. The BARF diet is based on raw meat, bones and offal with the addition of vegetables and fruits and a variety of supplements. This food should consist of 60% meat and bones (raw, not heat-treated!), followed by 20% vegetables, 10% offal, and 10% additives, such as yogurt, eggs, algae, supplements, oils, and fruit. You can find plenty of resources on the internet about this, or you can schedule a consultation with a nutritionist who will create a diet for your dog. BARF feeding is a fantastic solution for dogs with allergies, because then you have full control over what goes into your dog’s bowl. If you’re afraid that feeding BARF will overwhelm you or you don’t feel like calculating the dosages of supplements and calorie meals, buy a mono-protein food for your dog, consisting only of meat that is not allergenic to your dog. A mono-protein food is for example: https://exclusion.pl/.

What treats should I choose for my dog?

As a supplement to your dog’s daily diet, you should choose treats, dried or filleted meat. Dog treats should, like food, be grain-free and contain plenty of meat, but also herbs, additives and supplements. Snacks can also be functional, that is, support particular functions of the body, such as liver or kidney function, benefit the skin and coat, or have a calming effect. This is not a curative effect, of course, but it can effectively aid recovery or at least not harm it, so your dog will still be able to get treats, even when sick

Proper feeding of your dog should be taken care of throughout its life. Even young dogs can become seriously ill through poor nutrition, develop deficiencies in their bodies and suffer the dangerous consequences of your choices. Always read the composition of the food you give your pet, take care of it, regularly perform diagnostic tests and monitor the health of your pooch

Having a thick facial hair has become a permanent part of the trend list for well-groomed men. Beards have been, are and most likely will be the inseparable companions of many men for a long time.

It is not the mere fact of having a beard that is important but its quality. Having beautiful hair both on the head and on the face is extremely important for one’s well-being.

How they see you is how they judge you

Outward appearance has a significant impact on how a person is perceived by others, as people tend to automatically assign further characteristics based on first impressions. People who are physically attractive and neat – will be attributed with positive traits such as intelligence or honesty. A well-groomed beard – as an attribute of an attractive appearance – can contribute to a positive perception of the owner of the beard.

Do it for yourself!

Wishing to please others shouldn’t be the only reason to take care of your beard. It’s important to focus on you when grooming your beard – your physical appearance affects your moods, self-esteem and mental health in all areas of your personal life. A person who is happy with their appearance will feel great in their body.

Beard and mustache care can become a ritual, relaxing after a hard day, or a way to spend free time.

How Do I Groom My Beard and Moustache?

To enjoy a thick and shiny beard, you need to start from the inside out. Just like the hair on your head, facial hair needs internal nourishment. A healthy, balanced and protein rich diet is important to provide the building blocks for growth. Stress reduction and proper sleep hygiene also have a positive effect on the condition of the body and hair growth.

However, the beard needs proper care. It needs to be washed thoroughly and regularly to get rid of food debris and dirt that builds up on your hair and face during the day.

Regular brushing with a comb or a special brush, called a beard carder, will have a positive effect on blood circulation in the face, remove flaky skin and improve the shape of the beard. The prepared hair should be externally nourished and moisturized. A special beard oil, which minimizes irritation, softens the beard and prevents the skin from drying out by moisturizing it, will be perfect for this.

Styling a beard with the use of beard balms and waxes helps to take care of the aesthetic appearance of the beard. The cosmetics shape the hair and keep the beard and moustache in perfect shape. To keep the beard in the best condition it is advisable to trim the hair at least once a month or visit a professional barber to tame its shape.
