Thank goodness Heidi Klum was able to think fast enough to get some help for her eldest son Henry and two of his nannies. The family was Spring Break vacationing in Hawaii.  Heidi ended up helping all three out of the water.  She gets out Super Mama award of the week!

Reality Recap

Phaedra Parks LANDS her own BRAVO Spinoff with the working title "Rich People's Problems" and will highlight her legal/judicial capacity.  Hmmm....this should be interesting.  The synopsis of the show reads,
"When the rich and famous of Atlanta have a dispute, they know that only one lawyer will deliver some cold, hard justice:  Phaedra parks of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."  Whether it's friends battling over an $8,000 loan or accusations of stolen Chanel handbags or confusion over a prenuptial agreement and whether it entitles you to two or three live-in staff members, the rich certainly have an off sense of what qualifies as a problem in today's world, and Phaedra will be there to help them sort it all out."

Man I've been pretty boring as of late but that's all about to change.  Especially since I found a little bit of POWER.  Yep we all want a little power don't we ladies.  Well I found the most comfortable lil Power Chemise from Hips N Curves and when I tell you it holds in what needs to be held in IN with ease I mean it!  I even found that wearing it under my recently purchased BodyCon dress I walked a little sexier (if that's possible) on my way to pump gas at the gas station.  Power never felt sooooo sexy and you know you want a lil bit more sexy in your life.  :Shoulder dips out:

Cocktail Erika's Cocktail of the Week

It doesn't get any easier than this, the basic Mimosa recipe calls for a bottle of your favorite champagne and orange juice. A dash of each and you are in business to celebrate a wedding, Mother's day, whatever the occasion - nothing says fancy like a Mimosa.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• Sparkling Wine, Cava, Prosecco or Champagne (1 bottle)
• Orange Juice (1 carton)
• Triple Sec (optional)

Preparation:

Fill half of a champagne flute with chilled sparkling wine or Champagne (about an ounce) and top off with chilled orange juice (again about 2 ounces), gently stir. If you'd like to add triple sec, just a splash to taste works out fine. For added flare, slice up a strawberry to decorate the rim of each flute. Enjoy!

I did it!  Ever since Full Figured Fashion Week was introduced to the world I was intrigued.  I stood in the shadows lurking perhaps even stalking what was going on with one of the biggest plus sized fashion extravaganzas ever...Curvy Revolution being another (have to give props to Keke).  So yeah, back to what I did.  FFF Week has a competition for The Face of FFF.  Is that cool or what?  I might be a lil short to rock a runway but talking to folk on camera --- that I got!  Here is my submission video, there are lots of FAB women that I'm competing against but win or lose the point is I conquered my fear and did something I've wanted to do for over 4 years!  #Driven remember! 

PS.  If you LIKE the video click on that THUMBS Up Button for me!

This month is all about getting organized (I mean how can we run our empire if we've got stuff everywhere right?).  Knowing that we can't do it alone, we reached out to organizing guru Mikita Burton to provide us with some tips on how to get started (can you say overwhelmed?) and find out some of her "go to" products so we can finally take control of all this clutter.  She provided us with some great tips and ways to get your New Year New You self together.  Also on this Super Bowl eve our  Twitter friend Russ the Pro Football Guru stopped by the studio to share his thoughts and picks on Super Bowl 47.  And it just wouldn't be the first Saturday of the month if our Hollywood BFF Kristyn Burtt didn't come by and fill us in on all the latest happenings in the wonderful world of entertainment.  It was a GREAT show - what a way to kick off the month right?  If you didn't get a chance to listen to the LIVE broadcast don't worry, you know we've got you covered.  Just click on the play button below and enjoy!

Life at 40

Our girl Kristyn Burtt is at it again but this time she's talking about life at 40 with Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, stars of the hit movie 'This is 40' which was released last week.  This film is a spin-off sequel to the 2007 film Knocked Up which continues to follow the loves of middle-aged married couple Pete and Debbie as they deal with turning 40, their careers and their children.

Seeing that I am now basking in the glow of being 40 myself, this is one movie that I am looking forward to seeing.

So here's to being 40!

Smooches!

You can check out her interview here and if you haven't already seen the movie, I would strongly suggest that you check it out.
