Hello. Welcome. How do you do?

Something as simple as the above greeting can make or break a first impression. Unfortunately, we live in a world where even simple greetings are seemingly too much to ask from our fellow human beings. Sigh.

But, it doesn’t have to be that way, right? Despite the often downright rude people we encounter in our lives and the bad behavior we witness daily on reality TV, we at Re-find are convinced that our mothers and grandmothers are right — we were not raised by wolves. We know that deep down, everyone can learn to behave, be charming , be gracious and be refined.

But, what exactly does it mean to be refined? The American Heritage dictionary defines refined as free from coarseness or vulgarity; polite; free of impurities; purified; and precise to a fine degree.

We couldn’t agree more.

At Re-find, our philosophy is that we are all born with a clean slate; pure as the driven snow. So while some of us get a little, er — tarnished — we firmly believe that with a little buff, polish and shine, we can re-find our innate charm, style and grace.

Do you have a style, etiquette, entertaining or social question? Just ask and we’ll throw you a lifeline. And don’t worry, we won’t scold you or make you feel dumb. That would go against everything we believe. Here at Re-find, we live by the Golden Rule and we hope that if you don’t already, soon you will too.

Let’s get started, shall we?

Oh, I almost forgot, please call me M. I’ll be your tour guide. It’ll be fun.

Cheers!

M
