Booze-day Tuesday!

Since I unfortunately still do not have a functioning computer (hopefully soon) I will make todays post about a great cause.

This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. It is important to spread knowledge of the disorders and to support those in need.

Even the Empire State Building is lit in blue and green at night to raise awareness.

Today's show was all about "The Oscars".


Since The Oscars get plenty of coverage I want to make today's post all about the beautiful and vibrant, Rebecca Alexander.

Hoda Kotb, Rebecca Alexander &
Katie Couric, "Spin-for-Sight".

Rebecca is an inspiring and upbeat spin instructor who has been diagnosed with Usher Syndrome Type 3. Usher syndrome is a disease that causes the degredation and eventual loss of both hearing and sight.

Over the week-end both Hoda Kotb and Katie Couric helped spread awareness and raise money for Rebecca by participating in the "Spin-for-Sight" Spin class.

Jimmy Fallon "jokes" about Mardi Gras!










On Today's Talk, Hoda and Kathie discussed the uncertainty some have about whether the residents of New Jersey should fly their flags at half-staff for the passing of Whitney Houston on the day of her funeral this Saturday. What are your thoughts? Should that sort of thing be reserved for military and passing of government officials? Or is it okay to do for Whitney?

Chick Chocolates has a chocolate bar dedicated to women fighting breast cancer. The chocolate bar entitled "Survivor Chick" is not only delicious but 100% of the proceeds go to fighting breast cancer.


From Chick Chocolate's website... 

Survivor Chick

"Women are strong, compassionate, nurturing, essential. We’re fighters and even things like cancer can’t break us. 100% of the profits from these chocolates are going to help in the fight against cancer. There’s no quit in us. White chocolate and raspberries wrapped in dark chocolate. Three individually wrapped pieces in one lipstick sized box (two boxes shown). 1 oz."

Another chocolate company that is near and dear to my heart is "John and Kira's Chocolates" in Philadelphia,Pa. All of the ingredients used in their chocolates are from local farms! (Plus their chocolates are sooo good!)
Their Mission: "John & Kira’s is a socially innovative chocolate company dedicated to both making and selling world class confections and promoting positive social change. Our products highlight ingredients from small family producers and urban gardens. We hope that after tasting our confections and understanding where the ingredients come from, you will feel encouraged to support small family farms and school gardens-our partners and others!"

Fun-day Monday!!!

On Today's KLG and Hoda Show...

Today's show was dedicated to remembering the great Miss Whitney Houston. If you watched the Grammy's yesterday you saw Jennifer Hudson's tribute to Whitney. She sang the infamous "I Will Always Love you". If you missed it, listen below!



The big winner of the night at the Grammy's was Adele! She even performed her number one hit "Rolling in the Deep". Even after throat surgery, she still sounded amazing!
