Ok, since we have a thread on staying and looking cool at a show, I figured it might be ok to ask this one. :o
I had a show this past Saturday night and, well, I have a slight sinus issue. I call them snorkies. So, I'm sniffing like crazy throughout the show. I excused myself to the restroom just before to give a good blow and wash up but within minutes I was all snorkie again and sniffling like there was no tomorrow. It was really uncomfortable as I know I can't be up there wiping my nose while preparing their food! :eek:

What do you do when you have snorkies during the show? :o
 
take Dayquil before leaving the house!

I'm coughing good right now...not sick anymore, but that lingering cough won't let up!

Maybe even wear plastic gloves to show you are concerned about the germs...
Have Germ-X on your table??
Wash your hands IN FRONT OF THEM with the Suds Pump...

and again...DAYQUIL!
good luck!
 
Oh isn't that awful???
I make sure to let them know it is allergies and I am NOT sick. I also keep Claritin on hand to dry me up.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some tips for staying cool during a Pampered Chef show?

To stay cool during a Pampered Chef show, consider wearing lightweight, breathable fabrics that wick moisture away from your skin. Staying hydrated is also crucial, so keep a water bottle handy. If possible, position yourself near a fan or air conditioning to help regulate the temperature in the room.

How can I maintain a professional appearance while staying comfortable?

Choose outfits that are both stylish and comfortable, such as flowy tops paired with tailored pants or skirts. Opt for closed-toe shoes that are comfortable for standing and walking, and consider layering with a light cardigan in case the venue is air-conditioned. Accessories can also elevate your look while keeping it professional.

What should I do if I start to feel overheated during a show?

If you start to feel overheated, take a moment to step away from the crowd and find a cooler area. Take deep breaths and sip on water to help cool down. If possible, take a break to allow your body to regulate its temperature before returning to the show.

Are there any specific products I can use to help stay cool?

Yes, consider using portable fans or cooling towels that can be easily carried in your bag. Additionally, some skincare products contain cooling ingredients like aloe vera or menthol that can help refresh your skin. Look for travel-sized versions to keep in your kit for easy access.

How can I engage with guests while maintaining my cool demeanor?

Engaging with guests while staying cool involves being approachable and friendly. Use open body language and maintain eye contact. Practice active listening and ask questions to keep the conversation flowing. If you feel overwhelmed, take a moment to breathe and refocus before continuing the interaction.
