It's Mardi Gras: Mental Vacay to New Orleans

Despite the snow we’re getting hit with AGAIN, let’s embrace Mardi Gras and take a quick mental escape to New Orleans. What I love most about New York is its ability to transport you to various places around the world. Even though I have yet to satisfy my burning desire to visit “Nawlins” I have been fortunate enough to catch a few quick glimpses of the culture right here in NYC. Even though I'm sure the experience pales in comparison to the real thing, I was captivated by the richness of the culture, which was reflected in the rich flavor of the food, which I fell in love with. From my first Mardi Gras experience during my senior year in high school to a more recent good time, these places hold a few of my fondest memories:

Mardi Gras
7020 Austin Street
Forest Hills, NY 11375

Bourbon Street Cafe
40-12 Bell Blvd.
Bayside, NY 11361

With the bonus of Super Bowl Championship, this year’s festivities are sure to be BIG. Even if you are hundreds of miles away, take part in the celebration.

THe "Rock the MOJO!" campaign

I'm soooo excited to announce the" Rock the MOJO!" campaign.

The Rock the MOJO campaign celebrates the powerful mojo flow that exists in us all. It's all about the mojo you choose to use at any given moment to achieve your goals and dreams.

If you need more mojo to achieve your goals and dreams you'll want to join the campaign and get in the flow.

The mojo flow consists of all things beneficial to you and the greater good. Mojo qualities like: courage, confidence, determination, inspiration, love, faith, beauty, motivation, encouragement, integrity, kindness, strenght, flexibility, creativity, empowerment and joy. (just to name a few!)

In the coming months there's going to be all kinds of goodies associated with the campaign. There'll be chances to win prizes and share your mojo story with the world.

The first thing out of the gate is the signature tee shirt. Join the mojo flow and get your jazzy "got mojo? I've got mine" tee shirt while you strut your stuff as you challenge those around you to get in and stay in the mojo flow! --> http://tinyurl.com/ykgk8pf (Use code FRIEND for 15% off!)
