Improv for dummies?

2010-02-16T21:08:00.000-08:00

i was looking for a way to kick my presentation and conversational skills up a notch and I got the bright idea to take an Improv class. what is the world was I thinking? i made the mistake of telling my very pushy friend who loves to do projects together about the class and of course she pushed me to sign up by finding the class, paying for it and forcing me to do the same. i suspect that subconsciously it was my own method of motivation because left to my own devices I would have talked about it for months and then let it fade into a pile of good ideas.

someone gave me some great advice recently, he said to dive head first into something you are completely uncomfortable with doing and do your best to figure it out. this is basically taking risks and I am glad to report that the Improv 101 at Lesley Kahn Institute was a hit! there are a few key reasons why...

1) great teacher Jamie Moyer - not the Phillies pitcher- check her out at second city
2) great group of professionals...i thought we would keep in touch, but oh well, I have all the memories and because they were all actors I get to see them from time to time on TV!
3) lastly but definitely not least, my great friend Nix who encouraged me!

while I don't knock Toastmasters, I would recommend doing Improv to anyone professional wanting to up their game and have some fun while doing it.

yes and-ing and loving it

Blog, cook book and sheer inspiration

2010-02-16T20:06:00.000-08:00

I am a food blog junkie! I love the photos, the stories and the bloggers themselves. When one of my food bloggers does a series of posts that I don't like, I feel betrayed, like I don't even know them anymore. I know it's dramatic, but I take my food blogs seriously! Lick my spoon is an absolute favorite. I follow her on foodbuzz, but it wasn't until a co-worker was talking about the blog last week that I rediscovered my affinity for her style, especially when it comes to root veggies.

I found the mac and cheese with butternut squash recipe and had to make this for Valentine's Day dinner. I made a few adjustments, using whole wheat pasta and went without the gingersnaps and pecans to keep thinks simple. I served it with a classic chicken piccata and a fantastic peach and berry cobbler I picked up from my other foodie crush, Ina Garten's cookbook Barefoot Contessa at Home. Check out the ooowey goowey goodness.

For my next blog, cookbook and sheer inspiration meal I am going to make G. Garvin's slow-roasted lamb shanks, my "it's all-green" salad and these sweet potato biscuits.

It's All Green Salad
1 cup baby spinach
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
1 large ripe avocado cubed
Diced green onions
1 diced green chilli pepper
Cracked black pepper
Toss with 1/4 cup each of extra virgin olive oil and rice vinegar

Can't wait to plate this up!

if you could only ask for one thing...

2010-01-26T22:13:00.000-08:00

what would that be? i have been doing a bit of networking and this always baffles me, but my truth is that listening is the most important practice. this is key to know:

1) who is asking the question... and how can they help you?
2) is your request tangible?
3) will it really get you to your ultimate goal?

i have been spending sometime lately thinking about the four agreements, based on the principles set forth by author Don Miguel Ruiz.

i haven't yet read the book, but the principles or individual mantras were relayed to me by a wise friend and i have ordered my copy.

the four agreements are:

be impeccable with your word
words are very powerful, the book of John says that words can manifest

don’t take anything personally
opinions, perspectives, biases,

don’t make assumptions
you know the old adage about when you ass u me...not worth it!

always do your best
sure mom told us this, but the key is to more than your best...your best is enough!

agreeing four times over

Inspired? Five things you should do.

2010-01-26T20:58:00.000-08:00

The faintest smell or glimpse can inspire me so easily, but what we do with that inspiration is what might change your life. I am guilty of losing the feeling before something manifests from that lovely, warm, exciting feeling. There is something we CAN do to preserve and capitalize on the fleeting blessing of inspiration.

1) STOP, in your tracks.
Pull over the car, end the phone call, take a break and write down all your thoughts. Even if they don't make any sense at the time, just write. This purging creates a trail of breadcrumbs that will bring you as close to that feeling of inspiration as you ever will get again. Don't get me wrong, you will find inspiration in other places and for other reasons but it is unlikely for it to strike the same place twice.

2) ORGANIZE your thoughts.
Do you ever write a to do list or grocery list? If you do, follow this format in organizing your thoughts. You want to do something that has worked for you in the past. For me, I list my to do items in a loop from my house and back and I always seems to mark them off the list. You can apply the same concept to direct you to the burgeoning of a brilliant idea!

3) TAKE a first step.
Do the easiest thing on the list first. Completing the first task will give a sense of accomplishment that will make you take the next step and the next step until you are one step from achieving the goal. For example, if your inspiration is to start a blog let the first step be to open a blogger account.

4) EDUCATE yourself.
Do your research. See what's out there - competition, similar ideas, negative press, anything. Don't let your findings deter you. Your inspiration was not ill-fated. Maybe there is a class you can take or a colleague who can advise you on the matter. Just keep working through your list until your idea evolves.

5) RINSE and repeat.
This is a process and it begins with starting over at those thoughts you wrote down initially. Take a look at what you were thinking when you first were inspired and compare it to your to do list. See how far you have come and be encouraged that your project is moving. Now revise the list and start honing in on the BIG IDEA!

Helping people figure out their true path is by far my favorite thing to do. If this can help anyone in any small way I have been successful! TY

Lettuce cups of love.

2010-01-21T19:21:00.000-08:00

my honey loves these so i am sharing...

Crab and Shrimp Lettuce Cups
1 large carrot chopped finely
½ a red onion chopped finely
½ red cabbage shredded
1 medium avocado cut into slices
5-8 sprigs of cilantro chopped finely
1 head of lettuce
2 cloves of garlic chopped finely
12 oz of crab meat
2 cups shrimp (about 2 dozen shrimp)
1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce
¾ teaspoon of ginger
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 limes
½ cup of Pecans – toasted and chopped
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
pinch of salt

Serves 4.
Prep time 20 minutes.

Finely chop the carrot, cilantro, red onion and garlic. Heat a non-stick pan and add the olive oil on medium heat. Add the carrots, cilantro, red onion and garlic and sauté lightly until the carrots are glazed and start to darken in color. Rinse the shrimp and remove the shells. Chop the shrimp coarsely and wash thoroughly with water and ½ the juice of a lime. Add the shrimp and Hoisin sauce to the pan with the carrots, cilantro and garlic with the juice from the other ½ of the lime. Stir lightly until the shrimp begins to turn pink and opaque about 5 minutes. Add the crab, ginger, black pepper and salt. Toss until thoroughly mixed let simmer for 3 more minutes.

Separate and wash the full leaves of lettuce. Shred the red cabbage. Toast the pecans for 5 minutes in the broiler on a low setting and then chop coarsely. The pecans add a nice crunch to the lettuce cups.

Arrange the lettuce cups on a plate, add a heaping spoonful of the crab and shrimp and garnish with the red cabbage, avocado, pecans and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy.

Add sweet and sour ginger chili sauce.

Belly grumblings and found inspiration on foodbuzz.com

2010-01-11T19:50:00.000-08:00

I am currently obsessed with Food Buzz, I came home from a long day and worked myself up into a hunger pang just reviewing all the new recipes and witty commentary. Now I am inspired and it's getting late! Thankfully I have some Tilapia, it is such an easy fish to work with so we eat a lot of it in my household especially when the day got away like today.

Sweet Chilli Glazed Tilapia and Roasted Veggies

Ingredients:

1 lb Tilapia Fillets
Pinch of Salt
1 Tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Zest of one small lemon
Red pepper flakes
1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
1/4 cup water
4 tbsp butter
Oil for frying
4 - 5 Red skin potatoes
Broccoli
Carrots
Olive oil
1 Tbsp Rosemary
1 Tsp Sea Salt
1 Tsp Paprika

Clean the fish and pat dry. Fry lightly (2-3 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets) in a deep fryer (if you have it) or deep pan with sufficient oil to cover the fish. Remove from oil, lightly salt and set aside on paper towel to drain.

Chop the vegetables coarsely and toss in olive oil. Add rosemary, paprika, sea salt, fresh ground black pepper and zest of one small lemon. Arrange in a baking dish and add 2 tbsp. Roast in a 375 degree oven for 35 minutes.

Pour 1/2 cup of Thai sweet chili sauce in a shallow pan under low heat. Add 1/4 cup water, 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp butter. Gently bring the sauce to a low boil, stir and let the sauce thicken. Add the fried tilapia fillets one by one. Coat with the sauce and let simmer. Garnish with red pepper flakes and serve with the roasted veggies.

To add a little Caribbean flavor, fry one ripe plaintain, drain on a paper towel and serve piping hot.

Serves 4

Commentary from the husband? None...just plate scraping!

weblebrity

2007-10-02T10:33:00.000-07:00

there is too much to say on this subject. weblebrity gives the average joe the opportunity to become renowned through online content. i wouldn't say it's an obsession, i just happen to know a thing or two about weblicity given that my job duties include scouting and cultivating weblebrities.

has anyone seen famous wossip's on their living room tv sets lately? i have. i must say i was in shock when TMZ popped up in my digital guide! the show is decent, room for improvement. i love the employees. the show reminds me of one of my favs from last season - a TRUE obsession - Dirt on FX.

the other example i have is one i list reluctantly. props due to perez for what he does online, but why does MTV always have to go there! celebrity rap superstar is wrong on so many levels...first off how do the 'contestants' rank as celebrities? second, why is dmc even involved with something so ridiculous?

i was discussing this idea of weblebrity with some of my coworkers and i was surprised they hadn't heard the terminology, however it's befitting since the so called weblebrities are just as notorious.

here is a prime example...

all that being said there are a few that are doing it right...nuff props to Najwa from Nitrolicious for doing big things and covering fashion week amongst a host of other fun things. and a new site that just launched with a clever idea 2 chix tv, i'll be keeping one eye on the execution, but props due all the same.

styles women love and my man hates!

2007-09-20T12:09:00.000-07:00

there are SO many of these instances...it warrants a series. the only way to organize this series is by outfits made up of blooming obsessions...whaddya think?

can you picture it?

Robert Rodriguez cropped jacket

Missoni Metallic Scarf

Privee Jumper

Grey Heathered Velvety Tights...so luxe

MCM Patent

Vermice Nero GZ's

my goal was to create a entire outfit with obsessions from Intermix Online to pay homage since they just opened their location on Roberston in LA...but i had to rep these booties i tried on at Fred Segal and Y hated - go figure ;-)

if i manage recreate this outfit, i will make sure to update the post with the flik.

a lot of this is out of my budget range, but i might make the splurge for the booties and the scarfie - thoughts?

btw....Fred Segal SM is having a big sale starting next week

happy shopping and browsing

boots, bags and babies

2007-09-01T09:36:00.001-07:00

i have been avoiding the mall because of my how much I veered off my budget this summer, oy vay! however on my last trip i started noticing all the lovely fall items that are coming in, even though we don't have much of a fall in Lovely Angeles. there are a few things i will need, but now i am going to start working with a list of essentials and any splurges must take full consideration...that's the plan!

currentl obsessed list:
1) trench coat - i saw a great one in H&M, btw i luv the inpsiration boards on their site...i fall into the shapes category

2) slouch mid calf boots - Zappos is still my favorite site for buying shoes online, but I cannot live without my Loehman's fix...Rochy and I used to work those racks! these by Bronx Shoes have potential

my fav shoe designer remains to be GZ, but right now the price point is a tad bit out of my budget...my budget fav is def Vince Camuto...hawt

3) a new mimeki bag - i am so impressed with the fall line especially the new Kennedy with the embossed leather

but i am also still in luv with the Logan from the previous collection

the list goes on, but i am trying to be as discerning as possible...given the ahm "budget" situation...more to come

4) the babies obsession is something else altogether that also ties into the budget conversation. for the meantime Nesta will serve me just fine :)

fall obsessed,

more dress madness

2007-06-30T23:33:00.000-07:00

it's been another month since i last blogged...eeeek, I sense slippage. i will be working on that!

i have been busy - i spent 10 days in Thailand thinking i would have found the tailor of my dreams and come back with a wardrobe full of dresses. i achieved finding a fabulous tailor, but it was towards the end of the trip and i didn't score the beautiful fabric i thought i would. hence i came home fulfilled, but still seeking summer dresses!

i found a few new fav sites for shopping!

Shop Style
Big Drop New York City
Revolve Clothing

and Nadia put me on to Bleu Clothing

a few faves in the slideshow :)

you will notice i haven't posted any of the long dresses that are so popular this season. with all the looking and trying on i have been doing, i have yet to find the stunna that makes me look like eva da diva in her BET awards dress...the totally affordable laundry by design - blanket stripe wrap dress:

i first found it posted on new blog fav OMG i love her style blog

facebook

2007-05-29T20:19:00.000-07:00

i can't believe its been an entire month since my last posting. this has been a worldwind month! the party was just as i imagined and more. the dj hooked it up...big ups to DJ Mattnifique repping the PHI. i will post more about that when i organize myself...that itself is becoming a feat. my latest obsession is facebook. my family has taken over. everyone from my baby cousins on up to Grandma has a page. its spectacular. i can go on and catch up with cousins, aunts and siblings from the four corners of the world and i don't have to worry about jacked up profiles like on MySpace. seriously sometimes MySpace is just too much on the eyes and they need to invest in more bandwidth...the pages load SO slow...i digress.

i recently learned that facebook is going to be upgrading with all sorts of new features and you can possibly make money off of it by recommending things you like to your friends. i won't go that far, but it is very fun and easy enough for me to pop on a few times each week and get fully caught up. i plan on keeping my fam and friends updated while in Thailand using facebook, what can i say...i am currently obsessed and caught up on whats next.

off to facebook

always an excuse to party

i am thrilled to be turning the big 30 and to have some of my family with me to celebrate. rsvp to me talitha.mahadeo@gmail.com

i think i finally have the outfit down...dress, purse, shoes and BANGS? still trying to figure out the hair, but i know whatever it looks like i will be HAPPY!

i went to a bday party this past weekend. i so love fellow taureans, we are so salt of the earth. there is no accounting for people's taste in friends...i digress.

shoes shoes shoes

2007-04-14T08:59:00.001-07:00

i can't believe i made it this far without posting about my most prized obsession...my love for shoes. the obsession was inbred, my grandmother is a diva fashionista in the truest sense of the word. miss lady is fierce with the wardrobe even at 84. it's not unnatural and it's not a fetish, it's just good sense. we spend so much time standing and walking, shouldn't our feet be rewarded by being adorned with lovely shoes?! i know...it's not the hardest argument to sell...at least to the ladies.

my favorite designer of all time is undoubtedly Giuseppe Zanotti - hands down. his designs deliver the attention to detail that you would want any major purchase to have and they are not a beast to walk around in. i only possess one pair of his fine footwear, but that doesn't stop me from browsing at my favorite online couture shoe bazaar Zappos Couture. they have a great selection of GZ's.

my most talented cousin, Kashe, met the guru himself in Italy while traveling with her shoe design classmates at FIDM. her style is very GZ-esque with a beautiful attention to detail, excellent color palette and very comfortable fit. i'll share some flicks from her portfolio in a future post, she is one to watch. go Kash!

marc jacobs is another favorite that has developed over the past two years. i love what he does in patent and his flats are supreme. and the ever popular Louboutin, i haven't taken a journey on a pair of red soles yet, but i have seen a few that peak my interest. one of these days on the way to the orthodontist i plan on stopping by his tiny boutique on burton way or to the lovely Silver Feet Boutique in Fred Segal - they have a devine selection.

check out the slide show and put the mouse over the image to see the designer:

CHALLENGE: i am desperately on the hunt for a pair of light almost mustard patent leather 3-4" sling backs. they must exist and i NEED them (feeling slightly dramatic with my 30th approaching)! the a.p.b. is out, send me a comment if you track something down that fits the description. :)

in closing i'll leave you with a little comedy about the shoe obsession...

dress madness

2007-04-06T00:10:00.000-07:00

its spring again! let everybody know its spring again...and the dresses are SO fabu this season. i have not yet found the grecian dress of my dreams - but still looking. i have picked up one or two so far and suprisingly they have all been strapless. i say surprisingly because i hate my underarm fat! not cute in strapless, however the anna sui is so well made it looks beautiful on and the two i picked up at nordie's were worth the sale price.

i tried on a few iterations of this dress Maggie G. has on, but nothing gave me that cute waist line that she has...and that hooker just had a baby! Get it boo!

also in love with this lil mini. my obsession is smooth legs all year long so i can rock minis all summer. i would kill this one, minus one of the "rosettes" - OKAY angela from project runway.

going green is all the rage

2007-03-31T23:31:00.000-07:00

with all the research i have been doing on thailand, i have become increasingly concerned with doing my part to be green! the pollution that is reported in the "land of smiles" is scary. i live in one of the more polluted cities in the US and prevention is the only cure at this point. i found some great resources to aid my green quest without losing the fun in my lifestyle. the urban dweller's guide to green living is a lot of fun, i think of it as a tour guide to a city i have lived in for 6 years. its always fun to explore and now knowing that my money is being spent in environmentally conscious establishments will make the spending even more fun and possible tax deductible - we culture vultures must stick close to our budget ;). the guide will tell you where to shop, eat and how you can give back to the environment and community.

with summer coming, we have to be so mindful of the resources we are depleting, i check out LA DWP's website for tips on conserving energy.

another improtant matter floating around in my mind a lot lately is sustainable food and how it affects my health, the environment and the economy. i learned a lot about it from one of my favorite recipe sites Epicurious.com. these issues are so important if we want there to be a tomorrow for our childrens children.

taking thai iced tea to a new level

2007-03-24T09:53:00.000-07:00

newest obsession - thailand!

i am tagging along with two jetsetting friends that have been planning a thailand trip for the last couple weeks. i just got my ticket and the butterflies are already buzzin around in my tummy :). i decided that my present to myself for my 30th would be an end of my rote travel history. so i am taking my new passport on the road! thanks to nic and tiff for including me! one look at these two and you can see why i am thrilled to go, they are just FUN!

of course, Y's mom has been to thailand many times, so she gave me great advice! i'm open to hearing more stories and advice...one thing i know - i will be taking a picture of that Rachel Roy dress from a previous post and getting it's baby cousin made while i'm there. YAY!

visual art can be therapeutic

2007-03-22T23:50:00.000-07:00

it's high time i start collecting pieces to adorn my surroundings that will remind me of home, or a place i've been or just help me to remember to be happy and grateful. i have been eyeing a few pieces on the gallery of west indian art. this is a great site that i got turned on to by my eclectic, ingenius, quirky friend and sister...tara. i love this bobart...it's sold, but i shall keep my eye out to see if the buyer renegs, *fingers crossed*.

my fav art is always going to be the wearable kind. sidenote: i found the anna sui butterfly dress, it's in the mail! YAY! i peeped this sneak preview from greedy genius on nicekicks.com, i heard from a reliable source (my honey) that they are launching the girls line in '08! i am saving my red money folks! afterall, footwear is a lifelong obsession...

lately, i have been intrigued by street artists. that feeling of rebellion is good to keep around somewhere near the pit of your stomach, just in case something has to pop off! living in this country you can't stay silent too long, i need to get a dunnie posse like this hot designer eyelost has on his homepage. Get 'em dunnies!

patiently waiting,

fashion stalking pays off

2007-03-18T11:08:00.000-07:00

nadia and i were atteding a NABFEME event that i got put on to by reading my beautiful obsession, SYB. the event was full of powerful women sharing a bit (very small bit) of their stories. Debra Martin Chase, Zola Marshariki and Shondra Rhimes were all there in their full wonder women stance. i will reserve my comments about how i felt mislead by the event, especially since i was completely distracted by this young lady wearing my next obsession.

immediately nadia, future boutique owner, started scanning her fashion rolodex (her brain) to determine where would be a good place to seek out the object of my desire. her first thought was "that looks like an anthropologie dress" and after tracking down the dress' slightly frumpier cousin on net-a-porter we had more clues to go on. a trusty google search for "anna sui butterfly dress" and EUREKA the dressed turned up at anthropologie afterall! oooooh nadia, you are a true fashionstalker and i am happy to benefit from it.

doesn't this look like the perfect bday bashment dress?! nadia and i are going to pay it a visit today...i'll keep you posted.

here is my fav pic of miss nadia in all her birthday splendor...quoting nicole "nadia, you look red carpet ready". she always is!

obsessed with the balancing act

2007-03-09T08:28:00.000-08:00

i am turning 30 this year and it has never been so clear to me how important having a healthy balance in all areas of life can make each day more enjoyable. for me the balance used to come naturally. moderation was no a foreign concept - i eat pretty healthy but don't deny myself when i have a craving, i shop the bargains but don't leave that must have behind, you get the point. lately work has been consuming my life and i feel the need to grab a hold of myself and readjust accordingly!

i guess it boils down to priority. my current job affords me great opportunity to learn critical skills, but that cannot overshadow my commitment to friends (ya'll know i been too busy to call), my honey (he's working crazy hours these days too...my mogul), spiritual growth...it's been a while since i have been to church or even giving my time back to those who are less fortunate. i am starting today with taking the time to read a fwd'd email and responding for the good of our earth, we all know how easy it is to hit the delete button. Al Gore is calling out for virtual signatures to a petition he is presenting to Congress...if you find the time and have the balance, click the link and send it to 10 friends. let's impact the world so there will be a tomorrow.

damn that was too heavy, i think i will take a break and jump in the pool. i love miami! more about my trip next time...

puppies don't belong under the plane

2007-02-28T07:01:00.000-08:00

so...we met with a frenchie "breeder" this weekend.

although the puppies were adorable and we fell in love with one in particular, we found out that sister has them flown in from Hungary and Russia! that is a really long flight for 6 week old puppies to endure. in the end we were too saddened by hearing that breeder chic transports the babies this way and we decided to walk away. if you know someone local, or even within a few hours drive that actually breeds frenchies...let me know!

call me a bag lady...if you must

2007-02-28T06:38:00.000-08:00

when it comes to bags my philosophy is "the bigger the better", well when it comes to most things I guess *wink*. i am a little lady, but i need a sizeable purse to anchor me and all my "carotches" to my daily grind. since we're talking bags, i have to feature two outstanding jamaican designers.

Mimeki designer, Rochelle Thwaites is the quintessential fashion maven...although i never see her shopping...bad girl always has the fly gear for the season with her own twist. she's stealth and she slipped on the scene with her line of handbags for the discerning consumer - me! here is my current obsession from her line - the kennedy large tote in black with patent leather - mah.ve.lous. this bag is the working girls dream, ultra sexy and holds everything - even the macbook :)

Alia Michele boasts a youthful, crafty look. alia's mission is to put a little jamaica into each piece and these bags are a summer dream. my fav is the canvas clutch, just in case anyone's asking.

check out these enterprising ladies!

breaking obsession!

it ain't easy being green

2007-02-26T22:27:00.000-08:00

green has always been an obsession of mine...it's my favorite color. nowadays being green doesn't mean you are envious or need to hol' a fresh, it means you care about this planet we live on. green is my obsession.

the Oscars did it with an all "green" show - carefully selecting mateirals environmentally friendly materials to produce the show. bravo to them, the show was a success, although I could have saved about 30 minutes worth of energy if they cutdown some of the boring montages.

i recently started driving an SUV and I love my ride, but i do feel guilty riding in it all alone. sometimes i feel like picking someone up at the bus stop, just to do my part. carpooling is tomorrow's obsession for me. why do Angelinos love to ride solo? let's start sharing rides and saving the environment. this search engine for carpoolers could very well be the next phenomenon in dating online *wink*.

call it mint or sea foam, the ladies were pushiing in with the bridesmaid color scheme on the red carpet. green might be my fav hue, but this didn't work for me. my pick for best dressed was reese witherspoon, she followed the golden rule - look fabulous when your ex is going to see you - brilliantly done. she did purple right.

Warm and fuzzy obsession. Y and me have been scoping out the Frenchie scene for a while now. After checking out the Cali breeders we found these babies. I want to hear the lil' pitter patter of a Red Bull and Chilli Pepper, check them out! They are the ultimate pair and the combo would be so fun, but I will be happy to bring at least one of these boys home with mama. Wish us luck. Who wants to babysit?

Off the topic, I am looking for some good fiction. A juicy, page turning, drama or comedy. Email me any good suggestions please. Maybe we should start that bookclub we have always been talking about!
