1. Drink This! “Ginger Mango Martini”

Ice
3 oz. mango rum
3 oz. mango nectar
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
Champagne

Don’t be afraid of ginger, especially in your cocktail! It’s got a zesty spice that pairs very well with a smooth, super sweet fruit like mango. Fill a martini shaker with ice and add all ingredients except champagne. Strain and pour into martini glass. Top with champagne and serve.

2. Watch This! 21

Take a band of MIT mathematical geniuses and let them count a few cards on Vegas’ blackjack tables. Trouble’s bound to happen. This movie is based on a true story portrayed in Ben Mezrich’s book Bringing Down the House, and stars Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, and Laurence Fishburne. Interesting fact: The real-life mostly Asian-American MIT team has been casted with white actors, and that Hollywood decision has caused a minor uproar in various communities.

3. Wear This! “Go Business”

The great thing about most of Cali’s workforce is that we can forgo wearing the traditional professional garb. The bad thing is that we’re missing out on fierce blouses, pants and suits that we’d love to wear in an office. Switch up your style and maybe fool your boss into thinking you’re going on interviews when you show up in a summery suit or wide leg pants fit for the rising, young executive.

4. Hear This! “Lady Gaga—Just Dance”

Akon just won’t stop with his musical protégés! Check out this track from Lady Gaga, another Konvict Muzik artist. It features Colby O’Donis and Akon, of course. For all of our Miami love muffins, maybe you caught a glimpse of her at the Winter Music Conference this week.
