What things should not be in the house of a fit mistress

Do you think it is worth changing the way of life for the sake of someone else’s admiration? Is it necessary to neglect your own comfort in order to make a good impression on guests?



How should the life of a good hostess be arranged? Why do we always want to appear better than we really are? That’s what I suggest you talk about today!

It is believed that a good housewife in the house should always be perfect cleanliness. All sheets are ironed, towels are starched, and the dishes are necessarily washed to shine and sorted. On mezzanine should not be a speck of dust, and even if there is a furry pet in the house, there should be no hint of wool anywhere.

Usually this is pure only in two cases: on the day when guests should visit and in series about the ideal American families of the 50s.



The most scrupulous hostess manage to take care of even minor trifles, as long as the guests inadvertently did not think that lazy and misers live in this house.

For example, florid In the bathroom and kitchen are replaced by new, completely unused. Although the old ones are still quite suitable for use.



Out of sight, and the usual toilet-paper. Instead, the restroom flaunts pristine rolls of super-soft three-ball paper with the aroma of lavender, or, say, peach, to throw money on which for this family was extremely irrational.



Among other things, far away in the tubes goes all dishwareFrom which the family eats daily. Instead of ordinary plates and pans, the hostess takes out festive sets of kitchen utensils to dust the eyes of precious guests.



The sofa in the living room is necessarily covered with a new bedspread, and the usual bed linen in the bedroom is changed to the most elegant of one surviving set. Old plate blanket And we put homemade pillowcases in the closet -- and voila, the title of perfect mistress in our pocket!



But do you have to try so hard to please the guests, if you are quite comfortable in the rest of the days to use colorful towels and sleep on a bed covered with bed linen from different sets?

And if you think that with a new soft toilet paper life takes on new colors, why not afford to buy it on other days? It’s not for nothing that there are stocks and Saturday sales.

I find it strange to want to show someone that you're better at something instead of actually being that way. What do you think about that? Don’t hesitate to share your thoughts on this in the comments!
