After the famous 'mine bouillie' last week and their 2-in-1 celebration the week before, this time, Team Amethyst came up with a breakfast idea!


They made mouth-watering crepes to enjoy with honey and of course, without neglecting the most delicious ingredient and indispensable Nutella! 🍫 😍

Team BD

Seems like Team BD & Marketing got inspired! A Team lunch was on the menu this week (amidst the delicious food, of course)!


From the photos we have here, it seems that the food was too good to even remember to take a team picture 🙄🍚🍛🥘
