linking with girlfriends for afternoon tea yesterday left me feeling great, most likely the happiest as well as most relaxed I’ve felt in a long time. I’ve been hectic with work lately, as well as it felt nice just costs time with a huge lot of girls. After tea, as I drove house across the golden entrance Bridge, I believed about friendship as well as the power it has to make us feel better.

This is one of those painfully obvious things, however research study shows that socializing with good friends may assist you online longer. perhaps that’s why I like blogging so much. =)
A landmark UCLA research study suggested that costs time with good friends assisted counteract the impacts of stress on the body. research study after research study confirms that having a social media network reduces one’s danger of illness by reducing heart rate, cholesterol as well as blood pressure.
The UCLA research study suggested that when the hormone oxytocin is released (the exact same hormone released during hugging, touching as well as orgasm) as part of the stress response in women, it has a different impact on women than it does on men; in women (but not in men), oxytocin is believed to have a calming effect. It’s likewise believed to trigger a wish to tend to others (like children) as well as to gather with other women. And, when a lady engages in “tending as well as befriending,” studies suggest that even more oxytocin gets released, further countering the impacts of stress on the body.

I don’t understand if it was the oxytocin talkin’, however I definitely felt less stressed after tea at the Ritz. most of Ritz-Carlton’s hotels around the world offer an afternoon tea service. Tony Roumph, Lounge manager of the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco, suggested directly inspecting with a hotel in advance since at some properties tea service is by booking only.
At the Ritz in Frisco, afternoon tea is served between 2:30-4:30 p.m. on Fridays as well as between 1-4:30 p.m. on Saturdays as well as Sundays. It was served in the hotel’s Lobby Lounge, an elegant space with city views, crystal chandeliers, fine china as well as online music (a harpist, yo!). most hotels will select one of their more elegant spaces for afternoon tea. gown was advanced laid-back (aka not your scrubby denim as well as Adidas shell Toe sneakers). I used a black knit gown with boots, as well as a few of the other women used dark denim with adorable sweaters.
My good friends as well as I made reservations a few weeks ago, providing the hotel our menu choice at the time. We had six women in our party, however Tony states they can fit groups of as much as 30 people. It’s likewise not uncommon at all for people to go to tea service by themselves, so if you’re not a fan of huge groups or just want to fly solo, that’s great too.
Planning an Event…
If you’re in fee of planning afternoon tea (or any type of other event) with the girls, spreadsheets as well as e-mail can help.
Start by hammering out the bigger details first, like the size of the group, routine as well as budget, as well as work from there down to the smaller details, like (for afternoon tea) the menu.
If I’m in fee of planning something for a group, the very first thing I’ll do is send out a mass e-mail to see who can attend. In it, I’ll ask members of the group to select from a few dates. Not everybody takes e-mail seriously, so one thing that can assist move things along are the words “Reply Requested” in the subject line. After each person provides their favored dates, I note them on my reliable chart, circling the date on which the largest number of people can attend. Here’s an example chart I made in Microsoft Excel (hand-drawn charts work, too):
I like spreadsheets for planning. After pinpointing a date, I’ll utilize a similar process to pinpoint a time. Spreadsheets are likewise a handy method to track a big number of different menu (or drink) choices. LOL, can you tell I’m a freak for details?

Entrance to the Lobby Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco…
After we took our seats, they brought out the champagne! We did some catching up while a harpist interpreted traditional Beatles tunes.
We selected what the SF Ritz-Carlton refers to as the royal Tea Service, one of five tiers of service ranging from $36-$49 per person. After we completed our champagne cocktails, Neizel, our wonderful server, brought out two trays of food as well as explained the different kinds of sandwiches, pastries as well as sweets.
My favorites were the cucumber, roquefort as well as walnut on white bread as well as the egg as well as chive sandwiches, yum! I likewise truly liked the scone, which I smothered in Devonshire cream.
Neizel then poured the tea as weParti boyunca akışta tutulduğu gibi. Dört farklı çeşit arasından seçim yapıyoruz: vanilya fasulyesi-siyah çay, çikolata, nane ve darjeeling.
Sandviçlerin yanı sıra hamur işlerinden sonra tatlı, bu durumda taze çilek ve vanilyalı krema zamanı gelmişti.
