Avocado Baby Comments

 

Avocado’s are fatty delicious…But it’s GOOD FAT. And, if eaten in proportion, it won’t make you fat; that’s a promise. I eat avocado every day – ham, avocado, butter sandwich from Wichcraft, tuna avocado rolls from Dean & Deluca, chicken avocado panini from Bread, you name it. Avocado is considered the world’s healthiest fruit, because of its nutrient contents such as vitamin K, dietary fiber, potassium, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin C and copper. If you know me you’ve probably heard this from me at one point or another, “avocado is nature’s super food. You can survive solely on avocados”. Health benefits include lowered chance of heart disease, stroke, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease; keeping you young, fit and fabulous. Need I say more?

Aguacate=Avocado in Spanish

PS. I’ll Yelp about these places later 

Do something GREEN Comments

It’s Earth Day today and everyone is doing something green. I’m doing the Wicked witch. Does that count?

How brands eco-friendlify themselves-they add graphic greenery to their logos. I feel the world cooling already!

But seriously now, be good to mother earth. If you’re in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, Greenopia will help you find businesses, restaurants and service providers in your city committed to sustainability (almost 1,600 green businesses in NYC).

The Twitter Song by Alana Taylor Comments

I just met Alana and she rules!!!

Check out her blog http://alanataylor.blogspot.com/

and the lyrics to the Twitter song:

When I wake up in the morning,
The first thing I see,
Is an e-mail in my Gmail,
Sayin’ you’re followin’ me.

And next thing you know,
I’m followin’ you,
Not everybody does it,
But me and Scoble do.

Chorus:
Cuz Twitter beats Facebook any day,
140 characters is all you need to say.

Cool thing ’bout Twitter is you meet new people,
You even get to stalk the famous ones too,
We’ve got Veronica Belmont from Mahalo Daily,
Barack Obama and Hugh MacLeod too.

Chorus

Twitter’s like a family,
As long as you’re not spamming me,
We keep in touch, we share too much,
And @Garyvee meets up for lunch!

Chorus

But be careful, with you’re iPhone…
Don’t DM the whole worlldddddd

Chorus

200 Followers on Twitter Comments

Today I received my 200th follower on Twitter! I appreciate all of my followers and look forward to learning more about you.

If you follow me, I’ll follow you. My only condition is that you are a legitimate Twitter community member and not someone who is trying to leverage the community solely for self-promotion. So, if you follow me and I go to your profile and it shows that you are following 5,000 people but only 89 are following you back, then I will not follow you. You are using Twitter to talk, not listen. The shotgun marketing approach doesn’t work here buddy. Stick to ads.

To everyone else (all of my dear followers), you are beautiful and interesting. It is my pleasure tuning in to your daily Tweets. I learn from you.
