 Came From A Special Holiday Section At My Job, November 5, 2015
This Martinelli’s Gold Medal Sparkling Apple Cranberry (25.4 Fl. Oz) is 100% juice and is alcohol free. I like the careful balance of apple and cranberry flavor in this juice that is akin to a tart and fresh green granny smith apple blended with a subtle cranberry taste.

For Those Who Like the Mad Men tv series and/or Eclectic Music, November 5, 2015
Retrospective; The Music of Mad Men contains a wide range of relaxing vintage, chillout, and classic hit music that is perfect for relaxation. I’m lucky to have found out about this music set from being on a mailing list affiliated with the AMC channel (and I admit that I was advised to watch the Mad Men show from talking to a freelancer that I met at an Orlando Florida Abraham Hicks seminar back in May 23,2009 after they noted my interest in public relations/advertising). There is a wide selection of eclectic music artists featured on the music soundtrack of Retrospective; The Music of Mad Men such as; My Special Angel by Bobby Helms, Don’t Think Twice Its All Right by Bob Dylan, Cest Magnifique by Christina Hendricks, The End of The World by Skeeter Davis (though it is hard for me to unsee the image from my mind regarding the Girl Interrupted movie that this song is affiliated with and featuring the late Brittany Murphy, Wynona Ryder, Angelina Jolie etc.), Shahdaroba by Roy Orbison, Zou Bisou Bisou, The Beach Boys, and more music on Retrospective; The Music of Mad Men (feat. various artists from different music genres).

Metaphorical Writing Journeys, November 5, 2015
You’ve Got A Book In You; A Stress Free Guide To Writing The Book of Your Dreams by Elizabeth Sims covers areas such as Planning Your Book and Setting Off Your Journey As An Author (starts on page 97), A Stress-free Guideline Stormwriting example featuring the characters Zoe, Jim, Lt. Halsey, Senator Carson (pg. 188), Interviewing Yourself About Your book (page 241) and more. This book of You’ve Got A Book In You by Elizabeth Sims is important to me because I strongly believe it is part of my life purpose and destiny to at least write on the side regardless of what others think and what is included in this book helps keep me accountable. For instance, I received a great intuitive idea to write freestyle at least 4 times a week while doing the actual book on the side regardless of what I do as my main job and regardless of when my works are published with little care as to whether my writing generates attention while I’m alive. However, I admit to have slipped up on the 4 times a week this week on my freestyle writing goal and know that it is ok to allow myself a chance to rest from writing until after my birthday this Sunday, but to jump back on the metaphorical writing horse by next week. Books such as You’ve Got A Book In You by Elizabeth Sims are portable forms of spiritual encouragement to me regardless of how my professional life unfolds.

HairColoring Options, November 5, 2015
Hair To Dye For; A How To Color Guide by Penny Baptista (listed to also be available in Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Italian editions) contains a wealth of information for those who are ready to take the color plunge. The following is some of the helpful information included in Penny Baptista’s coloring book; Haircolor can be divided up into five categories based on the way color interacts with hair; temporary, semi-permanent and demi permanent, permanent, high-lift, natural organic colors, levels and tone (in relation to how light or dark someone’s hair color is and how to tell their level), hair color application techniques, and more. I’m psychologically ready for whatever positive and/or negative attention I would get for lightening my hair, but I had to make sure that I was permanently ready to give up on using chemical relaxers on my hair even though I plan on only coloring my hair once every 6 months (reluctantly I admit to understanding firsthand what Chris Rock meant when he joked about women who are addicted to the relaxers in his 2009 Good Hair documentary). Fortunately, my husband loves me how I already am (even with how much I currently weigh) but he is also supportive of me lightening my hair. However, I admit to also having the courage to lighten my hair from the following music videos; Keyshia Cole’s red hair in the music video Give It Up To Me ft. Sean Paul, Keyshia Cole’s red hair in the music video Last Night feat. P. Diddy, Keri Hilson’s hair in the music video Lose Control ft. Nelly, Rihanna’s hair in the music video Cheers Drink To That feat. Avril Lavigne, Mary J. Blige’s hair in the music video Just Fine, Beyonce’s hair in the music video Drunk In Love feat. Jay Z, Kat De Luna’s hair in the music video Drop It Low, blonde curly haired model in the music video Hotel Room Service by Pitbull, the blonde curly haired model in the music video Gasolina by Daddy Yankee, Jennifer Lopez’s hair in I’m Real (Alt version), The Red haired dancer in Yo No Se by Pajama Party, and Hips Don’t Lie by Shakira ft. Wyclef Jean. I admit that I also obviously take back a past facebook post that compared one famous female with two other celebrities after she dyed her hair blond (I don’t consider the facebook post I wrote to be negative, but I could have stayed more neutral about her decision to lighten her hair).

Part of D.C. Society Drama?, November 5, 2015
I reluctantly admit that I purchased Real Housewives of D.C. Season One back in August 11, 2011 when I originally and previously had my mind made up to permanently live here in the D.C. area no matter what and partially due to a curiosity in how some of the D.C. area residents from the wealthier socio-economic classes live. A preview of some of the information from some of the participants on the Real Housewives of D.C.; Stacie is a Real Estate Agent who has attended Harvard Business School, she has a real estate portfolio of 150 million dollars and makes at least 25-30 million dollars in real estate per year. Stacie has been married to her husband Jason for 12 years and has a daughter named Catherine. Participant Lynda runs a top modeling agency in the Washington D.C. area and has 4 children (Lynda’s work has brought her into contact with ambassadors and dignitaries, she has a boyfriend named Ebong). Michaele Salahi has done modeling and organized events pertaining to charity events, meetings, dinners. Another contestant Cat is married to a White House photographer and another participant named Mary Amon’s whose husband who was invited to an event hosted by Washingtonian magazine for his fashion sense. Real Housewives of D.C. Season One feature candid thoughts from some of the D.C. housewives on why there are clashes. For instance, at one of the dinner parties there is a chef (Cheo) that is invited to make the meals and some of his clients have been known to be Janet Jackson, Tyra Banks, and Patrick Ewing. The dinner party host gets to know one of the guests and right away there are clashes in regards to differing opinions on Tyra Banks, President Obama, and former President Bush. Additionally, speaking of President Obama, the Real Housewives of D.C. Season One also includes two people (Michaele Salahi, Tareq Salahi) that have a controversial media distinction of being part of the 2009 U.S. state dinner security breaches.

A Well Intentioned Plan However, November 5, 2015
The Nightmare Before Christmas centers around the character of Jack Skellington. Skellington is well-known in his world of Halloweentown. However, he wants to do something different for the tradition of Halloweentown and has an idea to try to take on the role of Santa Claus. Skellington manages to use his leadership skills to convince other Halloweentown residents such as rag doll Sally and the Mayor of Halloweentown to help him with his plans for Christmastown. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a comical family movie filled with a little bit of dark humor. For this aspiring writer/scriptwriter I also saw character development around what can happen if a person may try to do something, even under the best intentions if they were actually wired for something else (i.e. Jack Skellington is made for Halloweentown and actually has a big heart of gold but wants to change up his life by spearheading Christmas traditions). For me, watching The Nightmare Before Christmas is interesting timing because I’m in the process of deciding between two long-term career goals that may affect how my life turns out in the 2030’s when I’m in my 50’s (one is filled with more excitement, higher pay comparable to what I had while in the U.S. navy for repaying my student loans, and opportunities to work anywhere even within the company I currently work at but the only catch is that it would require more schooling, entry into the field is more exclusive/competitive, and/or may or may not fit with what my soul’s natural gifts are while the other idea seems to fit with my soul’s makeup and is more wide open with less barrier to entry,but does not seem as exciting, higher pay in the long-term is not guaranteed for repaying my student loans, and less job stability/job security). Anyhow, the film The Nightmare Before Christmas is also one of those type of movies that actually leaves you smiling and feeling uplifted after watching it even with the setting being Halloweentown and the animation that comes with the film.

The Determined Spouse, November 5, 2015
The Good Wife Season One features the character of Alicia Florrick (Julianna Marguiles) who unexpectedly has to both revamp and reinvent her life once her husband Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) gets caught in charges related to corruption. Fortunately, Alicia Florrick has some professional skills as a lawyer that come in handy as she works to rebuild her life and that for those around her (i.e. her kids and her mother in law who steps in to help her out). As she works to re-establish her professional credibility she also is forced to deal with some of her husband’s professional rivals and/or enemies. Of course, there are many more actors and actresses who contribute to season one of The Good Wife (I was just listing the information I was intuitively guided to share). Nonetheless, The Good Wife is great for those who enjoy tv shows that include themes of professional empowerment.

My husband got food for us on his way home from work from the Nando's Peri Peri in College Park Maryland. The pros; the food was pleasantly delectable; my husband had some lemon and herb chicken breast while I had lemon and herb six piece chicken wings. The appetizing sides were; fire roasted corn on the cob, garlic mashed potatoes, and garlic bread. The only caveat is that while the College Park Maryland Nando's Peri Peri is not that expensive but it is not that cheap either; he mentioned that what he got for us cost him approximately 23 dollars.
