Open Seating through out the house is best, to create a comfortable game-viewing environment with comfy seats, matching team colors would be fabulous, and lots of chairs for your football fans who will be glued to the TV.

What Super Bowl Party would be complete without snacking? Keep guests satisfied by arranging your appetizer spread on the coffee table where it is easily accessible. Keep small snack plates and napkins out to make it simple for everyone watching the game.

Chips and guacamole make an excellent Super bowl appetizer snack. A spicy bowl of everyone’s favorite Mexican-inspired appetizer, along with other bar snacks such as marinated olives, popcorn, nuts, and jalapeno poppers.

Through out the game you can be passing around tiny pizza, mozzarella sticks, pot-stickers, chips and avocado salsa, artichoke spinach dip, nachos, quesadillas, stuffed jalapenos, and a hummus trio. Rather than ordering in a delivery offer guests homemade cut-bite sized cheese pizzettes. Individual plates allow guests to snack as they desire.

 

Get guests into the festive spirit with a kombucha bar and drinks to make station at the party. A large festive punch is a special option and set out a pitcher filled with a tasty mixture alongside with empty cold glasses with orange slices for garnish.

Decor goes a long way for Sunday Superbowl Party! Add a splash of your team’s color by draping garland anywhere in the house that needs color and brings out the team spirit.

While the big game and the commercials are likely to keep guests engaged throughout the party it doesn’t hurt to add a bit of handmade entertainment to your party. Give guests a way to rejoice by providing confetti perfectly themed for the big event and ready for moments anytime a touchdown is made.

Happy Birthday Goddess Saraswati 

The festival Panchami in India is known as Saraswati Puja. The word “vasant” means spring, and Vasant Panchami marks the beginning of the spring season and the coming of the festival of Holi.
Goddess Saraswati Devi is the goddess of wisdom, speech, learning, higher education and music. She presents holding her instrument the veena in two hands, a book in another, and a mala (for mantra repetition) in the fourth hand. Goddess Saraswati  wears a white sari and loves to sit on a lotus or a swan which are symbols of purity.


Devotees and students perform a puja (ceremonial worship) to Saraswati and ask her to bless their books and other school supplies, so that they perform well in studies and are blessed with her qualities. Books in India are thought as sacred objects, so they are never put on the floor. Yellow flowers are offered to Saraswati during the Vasant Panchami puja for Saraswati’s Birthday! 

Birthday Blessings and Happy February!

Chinese Astrology 中国新年

新年快乐. Happy Year of the Rooster! May the New Year bring you good fortune! 

The beginning of the lunar year has begun, and millions of people across the world will be gathering with family and friends to get out the fireworks and celebrate Chinese New Year.
January marks the beginning of the Year of the Rooster, defined by the Chinese zodiac cycle. Chinese New Year takes place on a different date every year, because it is based on the lunar calendar.

The New Year is traditionally marked with the giving of gifts, lucky money and celebrations with family, as well as looking to what the sign of the Rooster symbolically means for the year ahead.

Living in China for one year, I was teaching ESL & Music at a Montessori school in Guangzhou China. Chinese New Year brings upon memories in my mind as an unforgettable experience. 
Celebrations began on New Year’s Eve, and it lasts around two weeks, called “Spring Festival” making this the longest holiday in the Chinese calendar. It is celebrated with the ringing of bells, the lighting of firecrackers and watching traditional lion dances and dragon performances. It is seen as an important date, with families gathering together for a reunion dinner. Fireworks are then released to signal the end of last year and the beginning of next. 

On New Year’s Day, families gather, clean their houses and wipe away and sweep away bad-fortune. Red envelopes stuffed with “lucky money” are given to children, along with written wishes for their kids to grow up happy and healthy.

People also decorate their houses with red paper cutouts, banners and special New Year paintings during the festive period. For this year, it is likely to see Rooster themed decorations. Chinese people believe that a good start to the year will lead to a lucky year. 

Year of the Rooster. Every 12 years there is a Rooster year, beginning at Chinese New Year. A year of the Rooster comes after a Monkey year and before a Dog year. In Chinese astrology, each zodiac year is not just associated with an animal sign, but also one of five elements: Gold (Metal), Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth. 2017 is a Fire Rooster year. Element-sign combinations recur every 60 years.

This is a year believed to bring Trustworthiness with a strong sense of timekeeping and responsibility at work. It is also a year of courage. 

Happy Chinese New Year,

Adho Mukha Vrksasana 

Sometimes you may just need to do a handstand. Aside from bringing out your inner child and just being fun to do, there are actually multiple ways handstands can benefit your health, especially if you do them on a daily basis. 

Whether you do them against a wall or manage to do freestanding ones, here are three reasons why handstands are good to do everyday:

 1) they increase balance. 

2) they build core strength.

 3) they make your upper body strength superpowerful.
