RED VELVET ($35)
This version of this Southern favorite combines moist layers of red, modestly cocoa-infused butter cake with buttery cream cheese frosting. One bite of this cake will make it a personal favorite.

BLACK & WHITE CHOCOLATE CAKE ($35)
A chocolaty cake with delicious vanilla butter cream filling and frosting, drizzled with chocolate. A chocolate lovers treat!

CARROT NUT CAKE $35)
This magnificently moist cake is a delectable blend of orange cream cheese frosting and robust layers of perfectly spiced carrot cake.

PINEAPPLE COCONUT ($35)
The traditional coconut cake is made even more satisfying with a special touch – layers of pineapple butter cream. The taste of pineapple and coconut together creates a familiar tropical experience.

WHY WE LUV THIS
When I first ate my sister-in-law, Kristina Pedlar’s cakes, I knew they were something special! Being a total foodie and knowing that how I experience food is kind of out there, I thought, “maybe it’s just me”. But, after having shared the cakes with colleagues and watching that familiar look of delight on their faces, it confirmed how special these cakes really are. The people’s choice is the Red Velvet, of course. My personal favorite is the Coconut Pineapple. — MAGGIE HERNANDEZ-KNIGHT

So Easy Baby Food Kits
$25.05 (Purchase)

WHY WE LUV THIS
When my son was a baby, we made a lot of his baby-food which we froze in ice cube trays for later use.  We eventually figured it out, but it was trial and error, mixing the right proportion of this and that until we got the right consistency and flavor.  How I wish we had these So Easy Baby Food Kits then.  They come complete with recipes, ice cube trays and instructions.  For my personal taste, I’d substitute use of the microwave (as suggested) with stove top cooking.  – MAGGIE HERNANDEZ-KNIGHT

Think and Grow Rich
by Napolean Hill
$13.57 (Amazon)

Why We Luv This
Before “The Secret” and the “Law of Attraction”, there was Think and Grow Rich. Written in 1937, it is an awesome 300+ page masterpiece that reveals the secrets of great leaders.   Surprisingly, their secrets are less about business and more about personal development, specifically the power of thought matched by a burning desire to achieve.  What is so special about this book is that it is simply written and full of real-life examples to live by. — Maggie Hernandez-Knight

Moéa® Body Soufflés (lotion)
$13.99
Vendor IPC#2844924

Why We Luv This
The first time I tried Moéa® Body Soufflés lotion on my hands and arms, I was more than pleasantly surprised. The silky smooth, super moist lotion felt so good on my skin, I found myself frequently rubbing my hands and bringing them up to my face to take in the mild, fruity fragrance. Several hours later, my skin was still ultra soft. I’ve continued to use it since. Hands down, Moéa® Body Soufflés lotion (Lime & Papaya) is my absolute favorite body lotion. — Maggie Hernandez-Knight

I originally purchased this documentary to support my filmmaker friend, Bari Pearlman.  What I found was that she and Phyllis Heller created a wonderful film about a game with the power to enrich lives.  This film is filled with wonderful stories about family ties and tradition that transcend cultural divides.  – MAGGIE HERNANDEZ
