Hot Sauce Help!!

Please see the photo ... this is my absolute favorite hot sauce ever. And, I mean ever. I told someone once that you could only buy this in St. Lucia without really checking out the facts first. I hate being right. Yes, you can only buy this puppy in St. Lucia or on Ammazon with shipping costs more than this yummy product. Help please. Anyone? Any ideas? St. Lucia blog followers ... feel free to chime in.

The Best Book Review Ever

At M Communications, there are no guarantees in the public relations game and there are good days, as well as bad days. Good days include coverage in Ebony magazine, Success Magazine, ABC National News and the list goes on and on. Bad days = well, zero coverage. Attached is the best book review ever, because it contains all elements an author would ever want. Now, the review is not a perfect one, but it is very good. The Rightful Heirs review also contains the following elements (kudos to the editor): the author's website and even their video trailer of the book. Oh, and did I mention the website gets 1.75 million hits per month? Me likey and enjoy! Click here to read the review!

My Top April Fool's Day Joke

I think the picture says it all ... and the parents did not think it was very funny.

The Best Holiday Ever

In my book, the best holiday ever is April Fool's Day. Why? It is fun for the prankster and pretty much for everyone else involved. I think that it particularly brings up office morale in corporate land. Here are my top five pranks:

1. Phony press release with profanity.

2. Getting a whole department to call in sick (fake) at a Fortune 500 company.

3. Having 100 friends submit phony job applications at a security guard company (think criminals, terrorists, etc. )

4. Running into senior manager's offices and installing funny screen savers.

5. Today's big whopper. Sign up for the M-Dash for details.

Happy Holiday!

Say Bye-Bye to Vacation Weight Gain

A couple of other tips & tricks from Monique Hollowell at LaFemme Mobile Gym (yes, it's a plug, but maybe nachos with all the trimings for lunch every day wasn't the best idea).

1. Go Fitness First. When choosing a place to stay, make sure the facility has a fitness center or free passes to a local nearby gym. This will keep you accountable to work out while on vacation.

2. BYO Snack. Pack your own snacks or stop at a grocery store to stock up on healthy snack foods in between meals. This will prevent eating candy, chips, sodas and extra calories.

3. Refrigerator and Microwave Please! Make sure you have a refrigerator in your hotel room to store fruits and vegetables, healthy snacks and any meal leftovers.

4. Menu Savvy. Always choose healthy and low calorie first! Leave the extra calories for any desserts or alcoholic beverages you may consume.

5. Your Daily Flush! Consume at least 64 oz. of water a day. While on vacation we tend to dehydrate fast from the air travel, high sodium food and increase in alcoholic beverages. Water helps your digestive system and energy levels stay on the right track.

Bad Videos Strike Again

In addition to the very special video I posted below, and by special I mean it belongs in the special file (a.k.a., garbage can), I have seen multiple bad You Tube videos where people are using them to promote their business or obtain speaking gigs. Although depending on the subject matter, I would really have to insist that professional is really only the way to go here. If you insist on doing the You Tube shoot in the meantime, take a close look at what frame is frozen on the front of your video. If you in any way, shape or form look remotely ridiculous - I can guarantee your video will not be watched.

REALLY?
