We Celebrate You and Sexy Tunes for The Mood: Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Sexy Day, BNM!
I empower you to make today your sexy day of celebration and self-love.
Yes, we celebrate relationships, however, the best relationships are the one’s with self.
Once upon a time as a single woman, I would get dressed up and take myself to an amazing restaurant, order a delish dish and drink the best Australian wine on the menu – why? I am worth it!
The best way to get the love you crave is to put on display how much you value you and make no apologies. Happy Valentine’s Day!
So, pump up your favorite sexy tune and spray that perfume in all the right places, eat chocolate and enjoy your self-love day!
Here are favorite scents and songs from my powerful circle of women: … continue reading.
Get Lin-Sane: Become a Change Agent!
Be a Change Agent!
BNM,
Jeremy Lin-sanity has taken over New York and it’s spreading like wildfire throughout the NBA.
It’s an exciting time to follow basketball and watch the NY Knicks.
Watching Jeremy Lin reminded me as a PR/Branding Expert that it is never too late to become a change agent in our respective lives.
Lin is Asian, graduated from Harvard, played with at least two NBA teams and was relegated to the bench. It was not until the NY Knicks’ back was against the wall did the coach consider putting Lin in as a last ditch effort. … continue reading.

Is Go-Go Juice Really Bad for You?
ABC News - Go-Go Juice?
Moms are always on the go – juggling a balancing act with schedules, career, family, friends, organization and self.
Maybe, moms need a bit of Go-Go juice to keep them going all day like Alana Thompson from ‘Toddlers and Tiaras.’
Go-Go juice is the Pageant crack liquid solution comprised of 50% Mountain Dew and 50% Red Bull. This is pure caffeine providing an instant rush for all the little ones who have busy all day schedules with competition, taping a reality show and maintaining a normal life for a toddler. Wow, talk about parents living (dangerously) through their children?
This got me thinking, what would the Go-Go juice of choice be for busy moms?
My Go-Go juice is usually a homemade protein smoothie with a dash of Hershey pure cocoa, which gives me a great boost of energy and no side effects.
BNM, what is your Go-Go juice?

Step 1: You Must Leave the House if you want to Succeed!
As read on Oprah.com
Happy Monday, BNM!
I remember when I was going through PPD and the biggest challenge was conjuring up the energy to leave the house and meet friends.
If you are ready to push reset and make this beautiful gift called LIFE work in your favor it’s time to really step out and socialize. Here is a dose of inspiration on Motivation Monday from Oprah.com.
What’s Holding You Back from Making Your Dream a Reality?
Your passion—bolstered by strengths, fueled by motivation—is crystallizing into a plan. Now what? Barbara Sher explains why it’s time to throw an idea party.
Isolation is a dream killer. Sitting alone for too long with an idea is more likely to breed self-doubt than spark an action plan. So before your goal succumbs to inertia, I suggest inviting some friends to what I call an idea party. When you gather people at a party where the goal is making your dream a reality, something amazing happens: A friend of a friend has a contact who can help, your neighbor knows a workaround for what’s tripping you up—and suddenly, you’re in action.
Where will you venture this week to get the creativity going?

Got Kids? Here are 10 Tax Benefits For Parents
Courtesy of AskTheMoneyCoach.com
Lynnette Khalfani Cox, The Money Coach is a contributor to The Brand New Mommy
Any parent knows that kids can be awfully expensive.
They eat a lot, or sometimes not much at all, picking all over their food and wasting it.
They tend to sprout up like weeds, outgrowing clothes, shoes and even hats and gloves before those things get a proper wearing. (By that, I mean there should be holes in all those items before they’re handed down to a younger sibling).
And then, of course, kids want a lot of stuff. Can you say iPhone, Nintendo DS or Xbox 360 Kinect?
Little wonder that, in the past decade alone, the cost of raising a child from birth to age 18 has risen nearly 40% to $226,920. Continue reading “Got Kids? Here are 10 Tax Benefits For Parents” »

Delicious and Easy Super Bowl Recipes you will Love!
Cristine Ferrare, Super Bowl Recipes
As we prepare for the commercials, media, glitz and Madonna, what’s on your Super Bowl menu?
Here is celebrity chef, Cristina Ferrares with Cooking Made Easy from Oprah.com.
I love, love, love football, and I especially love Super Bowl Sunday!
I went to my first Super Bowl at the Orange Bowl stadium in Miami for Super Bowl X when the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Dallas Cowboys 21 to 17. What a game! It was so exciting! I arrived in Miami on a Friday for parties that went on nonstop until the big game on Sunday. I happened to be there with some friends who had connections with the NFL, so I got to go to all of the festivities before the game, including meeting all of the players. Of course, as much as I loved meeting the players, I was more interested in what was on those seemingly endless buffet tables that were everywhere. I had never seen so much food in my life!
Brand Age: Lessons to Learn from Demi Moore
Brand Age: Demi Moore
In a society where the images of timeless youth, beauty and weight take center stage daily what’s an aging momma to do?
Demi Moore seemed to have it all – family, fame, fortune and fans, however, it was not enough.
The aging process is not fun. As I prepare to turn 45 years YOUNG in March, I’ve experienced the challenges of getting older.
Let’s just say I am adjusting to a few tweaks; I now wear readers (granny glasses) to read the fine print, battled with sciatica for 4 weeks in December, and, when it rains I can feel a touch of arthritis. Sound sexy yet? … continue reading.
