Sade :: Soldier of Love (music)
$9.95 CD (10.99 Download) Purchase

WHY WE LUV THIS
I became a reluctant fan of Sade back in the 80’s.  My roommate, Senia was completely obsessed with her.  I kid you not when I say she played the Diamond Life album  e-v-e-r-y  night after work for a least 6 months straight – ugh!  But, by the end of that long stretch, I was really listening and I couldn’t deny that Sade’s lyrics were freakin’ brilliant.  ”Smooth Operator… he’s laughing with another girl, and playing with another heart, placing high stakes, making hearts ache”.  I became a closet Sade fan. Fast forward 2010, I was a little nervous when I heard she was releasing a new album. Would it be the classic move by seasoned artists trying to adopt a contemporary sound?  Not Sade!  She remained true to her sound and those killer lyrics are as powerful as ever. — MAGGIE HERNANDEZ-KNIGHT

Basque Beret (hat)
$62.50 Purchase

  • Wool
  • Imported from France
  • Trimmed with full satin lining

WHY WE LUV THIS
I’ve never been fond of hats.  In fact, I spent most of my life braving the cold to avoid wearing one.  Until, I discovered the Beret. I’ve tried them in all shapes and sizes.  But, nothing beats a real, lined wool french beret.  For years I was the only one wearing them, but I’m seeing them pop up more and more and I predict the Beret will be ultra hot in 2010. — MAGGIE HERNANDEZ-KNIGHT

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

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

A blank book, journal & notebook with abstract art cover and over 150 lined pages for writing. 6×9″ Softcover, coil bound 160 pages.

WHY WE LUV THIS
Nothing like merging two things I love dearly… visual art and writing. I’ve been an avid journal-writer since my early teens. The intimate details of adolescent life; that if I had thought to save, would have made a wonderful book. I continue to use journaling as a form of therapy. But, half the fun is searching for unique blank books to write in. This one features one of my most popular pieces of artwork, “Organized Chaos”. The original, now hangs at Citigroup headquarters at 399 Park Avenue in New York City. — MAGGIE HERNANDEZ-KNIGHT

My Miracle
by Bertha Melikyan (Purchase)


I Put the Can In Cancer
by Imogen Gough (Purchase)

WHY WE LUV THESE
I love, love, love books! My two favorites are My Miracle by Bertha Melikyan. A story of a little creature who comes to find just how beautiful he is & as he shares his gifts everyone around him sees their own beauty as well. Excellent for the children in all of us.

The other is I Put the Can In Cancer. A terrificly empowering book with only a sentence or two per page & lots of illustrations. It is fun to read as well as insightful for anyone going through the process of having cancer, or anyone who loves someone going through this process. It’s also great for teaching children in a light way what it’s like to go through it. The author, Imogen Gough, realized when she was diagnosed with breast cancer that all the books out there were about things you couldn’t or shouldn’t do. So she decided to write a book about what you could do.

With a few exceptions, at home we eat organic, freshly-made foods that we prepare ourselves. When asked, My 4-1/2 year old will almost always say, “Pizza!” and occasionally, “Cake!” as his choice for dinner. While, we’d love to satisfy his cravings more often, we all know the combination of heavy carbs, acid, dairy, and lots of oil isn’t exactly the healthiest choice, for any meal. Come Slice the Perfect Food and their Healthy Pizza Kits to the rescue. You get everything you need to build a home-made pizza, with all-natural and organic ingredients. We plan to visit the actual restaurant this weekend for a sit-in treat. Mama, Papa and Baby Bear are thrilled! — Maggie Hernandez-Knight

WHY WE LUV THIS
My skin is ultra sensitive. I have to be extremely careful about what I put on my face or my skin burns. I received this moisturizer in a goody bag at a WERISE event held at A.I.R. Gallery in New York. I took one look at the medicinal-looking packaging and tossed it aside for a year. I know, it’s crazy, but I’m very visual. In a moment of desperation, I used it and I’ve been hooked every since. This product leaves your face ultra smooth without being oily or too heavily scented. An added plus is Dr. Hauschka is committed to providing only organic products with no harmful chemicals. – MAGGIE HERNANDEZ-KNIGHT

$37.80 Purchase

WHY WE LUV THIS
I’m an artist who grew up Catholic. So when one of my dearest friends, Senia Sakarya (then Senia De La Cruz) turned me on to Sr. Wendy’s Story of painting, I was fiercely opposed. “There is no way a nun could possibly have an objective view of art”, I thought. After months of her trying to convince me, I stumbled upon Sr. Wendy on PBS. I was shocked at how passionately she spoke of painting; less from a historical or religious perspective and more from the heart. – MAGGIE HERNANDEZ-KNIGHT

Daughters of Widsom (DVD)
maghernan | October 3, 2009 | 8:57 pm | DVD, Media | No comments

Daughters of Wisdom (DVD)
by Bari Pearlman

DAUGHTERS OF WISDOM is an experiential and intimate portrait of the nuns of Kala Rongo, a rare and exceptional Buddhist Monastery exclusively for women in remote northeastern Tibet. Here, these women are receiving unprecedented educational and religious training, and preserving their rich cultural heritage even as they slowly reshape it. Some shy, some outspoken, all committed to the often difficult life they have chosen, the nuns graciously allowed our camera a never-before-seen glimpse into their vibrant spiritual community and insight into their extraordinary lives.

Why We Luv This
I saw this documentary back in 2008 at the Rubin Museum in NYC. It was fascinating to hear much of what I did not expect from women in a Monastery. My expectation was one of confinement and oppression, yet their stories expressed immense joy and a sense of freedom from the rigors of “normal” life. From a visual perspective, this film is absolutely stunning! Tibet’s natural beauty, in addition to the rich colors; deep oranges, reds and gold used in the interiors and in the nuns robes are a treat for the eyes. — MAGGIE HERNANDEZ-KNIGHT (Submitted by the Filmmaker, Bari Pearlman :: BTG Productions 10/2/09)

Ok this is my latest obsession…being a shoe freak, I am totally in love with this. Shoedazzle is a shoe membership company started by Kim Kardashian. Basically when you enroll, you do a style survey based on “looks” you like, etc. Then stylists send you 5 choices every month based on your picks – if you like a pair, you pay $39. The $39 pays for the stylists, the shoe, shipping and return shipping if you decide you want to return/exchange. If you don’t like the 5 choices, you can request another 5 picks or skip the month. If you skip the month you don’t pay. You can cancel at any time without charge. And if you want to order more than 1 pair a month, you only pay $39!! I started in August so I have 2 pairs already and awaiting my October order. I love it!!! — ERICA KELLY (submitted 10/2/09)

In the beginning there was portraiture. When I was forced against my will to study abstract painting, I discovered it was the ultimate freedom for me and I never turned back. This piece most reminds me of why I continue to paint. — Maggie Hernandez-Knight

Why We Luv This
For those of us who don’t do sugary drinks, but want a little fizz, Tahitian Noni’s Sparkling Black Currant has just the right amount of sweetness and carbonation to really hit the spot! Plus, the unique blend of Tahitian Noni, Blueberry, and Black Currant is absolutely delicious! And, with no sugar and 100% all natural ingredients. My favorite way to drink it? I place a can in the freezer for about an hour, then squeeze the juice out of the can into a glass for a refreshing, sloshy treat. — 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

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

$25.00 (Amazon)

Why We Luv This
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
