I Love Nicki Minaj............

I told her I'd admit it....Could it be? Or could this just be a stunt for Nicki's album drop?

Quiet Hero

You probably know of one but didn’t know what to call them. A Quiet Hero never makes the front pages but after fighting their battle they should have been given the Star of Courage. The Star of Courage is given to those “for acts of conspicuous courage in circumstances of great peril.” I know of a few Quiet Hero’s they’re few but their spirit of resilience always seems to astonish me.

I had planned an event called K.i.S the Chef: Sharing a Legacy for August 22, 2010 and was looking for a guest speaker. I remembered a manager at one of my previous employers and thought she would be an excellent choice. So, I went ahead and told her my idea after mustering up the courage to ask. She was delighted – honoured!

A routine check-up had changed everything. No person ever wants to disappoint another and unfortunately my guest speaker was no longer able to be my speaker last minute. I debated on getting a replacement as in show biz the show must go on. However, due to the circumstances and the purpose of this event I decided that I’d postpone it until my Quiet Hero can share her legacy.

On that note, be expected to SHARE LEARN GROW EAT LOVE on the date to be announced.

To my Quiet Hero, This is your Divine Appointment!


Sincerely,

Eat Pray Love

I started a book club and our first book is Eat Pray Love: One woman's [Elizabeth Gilbert's] search for everything across Italy, India and Indonesia. And I'm happy to say that as a first book it was a great starter. I leave our discussions refreshed, renewed and exhilerated. I can't wait for our movie date coming August 29, 2010 I think they choose a great actress to represent Elizabeth - Julia Roberts.

If you didn't get your fill with the book or the movie then add your name to the waiting list for the fragrance. Yep! That's what I said, fragrance!

Forbes 2010 Hip Hop Cash Kings

Congratulations!!!!

These three made the Forbes 2010 Hip Hop Cash Kings List despite the hard economical times. Respectively, $63, $30 & $10 Million.

A BIG congratulations for Drake as he's the first Canadian to make the list. He's just after Kanye (10) and before T.I and Swizzy who tied (12)

11. Aubrey "Drake" Graham - $10M
Highest-earning newcomer on the list caked up thanks to new record deal, advertising pact with Sprite and agreement with Virgin America that plasters his likeness onto the sides of airplanes. Another good decision: recruiting Lil Wayne and Jay-Z to appear on his debut album, Thank Me Later, which sold 447,000 copies in its first week.

Don't get caught at the table doing this......

Dinner Table Etiquette - the 10 Don'ts!

1. NEVER start eating before a signal from the host to do so.

2. Forks should not be turned over unless being used for eating peas, sweetcorn kernels, rice or other similar foods. In which case, it should be transferred to the right hand. However, at a casual buffet, or barbecue it is quite acceptable to eat with just a fork.

3. It is not generally regarded as good dinner table etiquette to use one's bread for dipping into soups or mopping up sauces.

4. Loud eating noises such as slurping and burping are very impolite. The number one sin of dinner table etiquette!

5. Talking with one's mouth full. is not only unpleasant to watch, but could also lead to choking! Definitely not a good idea!

6. Don't stretch across the table crossing other guests to reach food, wine or condiments. Instead ask a guest sitting close to pass the item to you.

7. Good dinner table etiquette sometimes involves a degree of diplomacy when it comes to the host's choice of food and wine! Even if you feel that you can do better, don't ever offer your criticism. If you feel unable to pay any compliments, at least remain silent on the subject.

8. Picking teeth (unless toothpicks are provided) or licking fingers are very unattractive! The only exception to the latter is when eating meat or poultry on the bone (such as chicken legs or ribs). In which case, a finger bowl should be provided.

9. Drinking too much wine can be very embarrassing! Where a different wine is served with each course, it is quite acceptable to not finish each glass.

10. Don't forget to make polite conversation with those guests around you. Dinner parties are not just about the food, they are intended to be a sociable occasion!
