Beat the Summer Heat with Mojitos

If you’re looking for an alcohol beverage that won’t dehydrate you but will help cool you down, then you need to serve yourself a few real mojitos! Mojitos are able to help you cool down because the mint leaves in the drink have menthol that helps your body feel cool and the hint of spice helps your body sweat properly flow. Combined menthol and spice can help your body relax while keeping you cool. Mojitos are cold and refreshing drinks you should drink slowly during hot summer days. They are also the most popular summer cocktails. All you will need to make a real mojito drink is white rum, club soda, lime juice and mint leaves. Add 1/3 of a glass of white rum and 2/3 of club soda to a cup. Squeeze in your lime juice and put in a few ice cubes. You’re good to go!

Where Is The Game Headed? Post Derwin & Melanie

As you may have heard, Tia Mowry and Pooch Hall are not returning for season 6 of The Game. I was happy that their exit from the show was not a heart breaking one but a loving one.  Derwin decided to go support Melanie his wife  in her pursuit to complete her residency at Johns Hopkins.

The word on the street is that a new couple will not be replacing the Melanie and Derwin role. Instead, two new actors – one male and one female will be playing different roles parellel to Melanie and Derwin’s storyline.

 

The new female role is the character Kiera, a 20 year old former child star struggling to transition to a successful adult actress.  Casting call is searching for a intelligent and charming actress to take on the role.

The new male role is Bryce, a #1 Ivy League draft pick. He has a Heisman Trophy and he is usually the smartest man in a room. He is sure to put the football team on edge.

Do you think The Game will continue to be a success in season 6 without the dynamic couple Melanie & Derwin?

In my opinion, It will be challenging for any actors to top Tia Mowry and Pooch Hall roles on the Game but only time will tell. The right actress and actor could surely continue the success of The Game.

What are your thoughts? Can season 6 of the Game be successful?

About Andy Suzuki & The Method

Andy Suzuki & The Method are proving that there is still songwriting and soul in pop music. The band’s eclectic instrumentation, featuring electric violin, djembe, and piano, pushes the boundaries of the singer-songwriter genre. Andy Suzuki & The Method capture the energy of Sara Bareilles’ memorable piano melodies, Ben Harper’s thoughtful lyricism, and Dave Matthews Band’s virtuosity, delivering an unforgettable live show.

The band formed at Brown University in 2005 when band leader, Andy Suzuki, met hand-percussionist, Kozza Babumba, through a mutual friend. After playing the college circuit for a few years, the duo met violinist Jason Gorelick in 2008. The newly-formed trio ended up playing their first show at Brown’s most popular venue, The Underground. It was immediately after this sold-out show that the band settled on the name ‘Andy Suzuki & The Method,’ marking their official beginning. The band has been touring the east coast ever since, building a loyal fanbase and garnering rave reviews.

NPR declares, “Andy Suzuki…is blessed with a velvet voice,” and Time Out New York praises the band’s “deadly way with melody.” In 2011, WNYC Public Radio named Andy Suzuki & The Method the #1 band in Manhattan in their annual Battle Of The Boroughs competition, featuring the band in 2 show-stopping performances at WNYC’s Greene Space. TheUrbanDaily.com recently featured Andy Suzuki & The Method in their ‘Top 25 Artists That Need To Be Heard in 2012’, asserting that the band’s latest release is proof that “there is still soul in music.”
