25A Magazine Celebrates March 2016 Cover Girl Jean Shafiroff at Sant Andrea Cafe
25A Magazine’s Publisher Chase Backer and Editor-In-Chief Christopher A. Page hosted a party to celebrate Philanthropist & Author of Successful Philanthropy: How To Make a Life by What You Give, Jean Shafiroff, on the cover of 25A Magazine’s March 2016 Issue. The invitation-only event was held at Sant Andrea Cafe on last Thursday.
Heydoyou blog was invited as press to attend this event.
Here is the photo of Jean Shafiroff and Lulu Qu.
At the soon-to-open upscale Venetian restaurant located just steps from Central Park, guests enjoyed a selection of Cocktails & Hor d’Oeuvres. The event also featured Shafiroff’s new book Successful Philanthropy: How To Make a Life by What You Give, a practical guide offering advice for modern giving that redefines philanthropy for today’s era.
Author Jean Shafiroff comments that, “Describing yourself as a philanthropist may seem odd at first. For some people, being a philanthropist sounds like something limited only to those who give large financial gifts. But the truth is that philanthropy is accessible to anyone.”
Successful Philanthropy: How To Make a Life by What You Give is available to order in Hardcover and E-Reader on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Indiebound. The book is also available for purchase wherever books area sold.

If you have been holding your breath like me, waiting for Sister Souljah’s next book, get excited! In 2006, I read The Coldest Winter Ever along with all my friends and feel head over heels. Never had a book taken me on a journey the way this story had. Now, 7 years later, the sequel is finally out. The Coldest Winter has so many juicy details packed into the 500 pages is enough to make a television series. Can’t wait to see what Sister Souljah has in store for us in this book.A Deeper Love Inside: The Porsche Santiaga Story will be released Jan 29.
THE SEQUEL MILLIONS OF READERS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR . . .
At last, mega-bestselling author Sister Souljah delivers the stunning sequel to The Coldest Winter Ever. Fierce, raw, and filled with adventure and emotional intensity, A Deeper Love Inside is an unforgettable coming-of-age story in the words of Porsche Santiaga, Winter’s younger sister.Sharp-tongued, quick-witted Porsche worships her sister Winter. Cut from the same cloth as her father, Ricky Santiaga, Porsche is also a natural-born hustler. Passionate and loyal to the extreme, she refuses to accept her new life in group homes, foster care, and juvenile detention after her family is torn apart. Porsche—unique, young, and beautiful—cries as much as she fights and uses whatever she has to reclaim her status. Unselfish, she pushes to get back everything that ever belonged to her wealthy, loving family.
In A Deeper Love Inside, readers will encounter their favorite characters from The Coldest Winter Ever, including Winter and Midnight. Sister Souljah’s soulful writing will again move your heart and open your eyes to a shocking reality.

Beautiful Brazil
Part of my 2 year plan is to get my ass to Brazil… its too mystical, too beautiful, and too exotic for me to not experience in my 20’s… I wanna explore the Amazon, discover hidden secrets, lay on the world’s most beautiful beaches, handglide off of a mountain, go rafting under mystical waterfalls, jump up in Rio for Carnival… wait and see, if you think I’m joking! Some of the most beautiful landmarks, animals and people are from Brazil, the experience alone is my drive.I’ve wanted to visit since 6th grade when I was assigned a massive report on Brazil… while in actuality the project was only about a page in length, it was the first time that a school assignment really caught my attention on an internal level. I think it was the diversity of the land but more-so of the people that first called my name, and the feeling sustains… I love how there are so many colours and shades and hair-types and tan lines!!! I heard, Brazilian Supermodel Raquel Zimmerman talk about Brazilian people saying “…there is a mixture of all cultures darker skin in the north, blondes in the south, and mixes make people beautiful”… I may be biased, but MUST say I agree!

YOYO (You’re On Your Own)!
With some many acrynoms and BBM messages infilitrating what we use to know as common English, do you sometimes wonder WTF people are saying? I picked up this book today and I love it! I was laughing and trying to retain most of it. Like all slang, some stick and some don’t – but this is a great read for those who want to communicate with the Gen D (generation digital).
Here are some of my favorites:
Deja poo – feeling that you have stepped in this bull before
WOMBAT – Waste of Money, Bandwidth and Time
WFH – Work from Home
Two Comma – anything over $1,000,000 or more!
Straight to video – the kind of guy/girl you entertain at home but not seen in public with
Special sauce – business jargon for anything proprietary
SEP – somebody else’s problem
September 10 – outdated, old fashion and no long cool (world before Sept 11)
Retrosexual – the opposite of metrosexual!
Photox – Photoshop Botox
Moved to Atlanta – 404 error (Altanta area code)and my favorite. Blook – a blog that turns into a book

Musicovery
Probably one of my favourite things in the world is listening to the radio. I love the unpredicatbility of what comes on next and I squeal with glee when old/forgotten songs come on! Now you can stream the coolest radio site in the world wide web. Musicovery (music + discovery) allows you to mark your favourite songs, ban the songs you hate and listen for free.99! Premium membership is only $4US. You can pick genre, time period and mood. This is what makes this webradio truly original. The mood music is a quadrant ‘energetic’, ‘calm’, ‘dark’ & ‘positive’. Listeners can intuitively find music matching their mood. Today, I picked ‘dark’ x ‘calm’, R&B and the playlist they generated for me included:Brandy & Monica – That Boy is MineJohn Legend – Save Room of My LoveTamia – MoreAlicia Keys – If I Was Your Women+ lots moreThis is perfect for those long work days where you simply cannot stand another Pizza advertisement :P. Or house parties where you want to impress your guests with your musical selection. I have gone through 4 laptops and numerous mp3 players in the last few years and have lost my music collection over and over again. So Musicovery saved my life.If you like any of the songs you can directly click to buy it on iTunes, Amazon and Ebay. Tell me if it can possibly get better than that!HeyDoYou is for the cute, clever and connected – Follow this blog!
