Yea It's true say goodbye to the sexy "STAINLESS STEEL" cup that has sat in customers' home kitchens for more than a week because they were so durable. Why are we getting rid of our notorious cups?
Two Reasons:
1. See that shiny coating on them ? Since we first opened we've been trying to recycle them. It seems the recycling plant has a harder time doing that with these that have that shiny coating as opposed to "Plain Paper"
2. Um they're more *ahem more expensive than "Plain Paper"
I
t's ok though we're saving the planet AND our bank account thanks to our hero "Plainy" the plain paper cups !
So "Plainy" don't feel so intimidated and inferior ! U'll get over ur "new guy" blues soon !

Java Jolt Meets Workout
NBC11.com
A Java Jolt May Boost, Not Wreck, Your Workout

Good news for java junkies: You don't have to skip your caffeine fix to get in a good workout - even in the hot summer months when coffee's widely believed to promote dehydration.
What's more, a caffeinated beverage may actually help you exercise longer.
"For years, people have believed that consuming caffeine would dehydrate the body or result in an electrolyte imbalance or that it might affect body temperature and have a negative impact on heat tolerance during exercise," says Lawrence Armstrong, a professor of exercise physiology at the Human Performance Laboratory at the University of Connecticut in Storrs.
"Our research indicates that none of these concerns is valid," he says.
Fitness experts and dietitians have long advised that exercisers drink up before and during physical activity - but avoid caffeine.
Turns out, though, there's no convincing evidence to support this recommendation, says Armstrong, who published an article on the subject in the July issue of Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews, a journal of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
Armstrong and his colleagues reviewed more than a dozen studies and concluded that moderate caffeine consumption - up to about 500 milligrams a day - did not adversely impact exercise. A typical 8-ounce cup of coffee contains 150 milligrams of caffeine while a 12-ounce regular soda has 30 to 50 milligrams.
While caffeine is a mild diuretic - meaning it briefly increases urine production - moderate amounts are not enough to interfere with a workout, Armstrong says. "It doesn't mean that one is dehydrated," he explains. "Dehydration is about the balance of fluid intake and fluid loss."
Little is known about the exercise impact of consuming more than 500 milligrams of caffeine.
The new study is the latest good news about caffeine and exercise. A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that a combo of the two helped fight skin cancer in mice.
Fatigue fighter?Previous studies also suggest that a java jolt may even boost performance during activities lasting longer than 30 minutes by enabling exercisers to work out longer. In fact, caffeine was once outlawed at the Olympics because of its performance-enhancing effects.
It's not exactly clear why caffeine helps, but Armstrong and others believe the same mental pick-me-up that helps you get your day started or make it through a boring afternoon at work also may help exercisers fight fatigue and thus go longer. Another theory is that caffeine helps the body turn fat into fuel for longer workouts.
Tara Gidus, a sports dietitian in Orlando, Fla., agrees that caffeine doesn't live up to its reputation as a workout wrecker, at least when it's consumed in moderation.
And she notes that exercisers tend to build up a tolerance to caffeine's effects. "An athlete who is used to consuming caffeine regularly may not experience the same diuretic effect as an athlete who doesn't consume caffeine often," she says.
Larry Kenney, a professor of physiology at Penn State University in University Park and a spokesperson for the ACSM, emphasizes that all exercisers - caffeine addicts or not - need to make sure they stay properly hydrated by replacing lost fluids, especially when it's sizzling outside. How much to drink varies from one person to another.
"Athletes should customize their fluid intake based on their individual sweating rate," Kenney says.
To find out how much you need to drink, weigh yourself before and after exercise a few times, Kenney advises. This will tell you how much water you're losing so you can determine how much fluid you need to compensate for the loss. For every kilogram (2.2 pounds) you lose through sweating, you'll need to drink 1 liter (33.8 ounces) to make up for it.
If you're engaging in endurance races or other activities that last an hour or more, consider a sports drink with sodium that replaces lost electrolytes and provides carbohydrates for fuel, he says.
And after your workout, don't feel guilty about hitting the local coffee bar and indulging in your favorite drink - so long as it's not loaded with sugar and topped with whipped cream.

Saturday Busy Day !
Saturdays are supposed to be lazy and relaxing. I dont think I remember EVER having a relaxing and laid back saturday though.
Here @ Breukelen Mojo no matter what time you stop by ... you will be a apart of something going on here ! It's exciting because it's all positive and the energy will be flowing throughout ! Y'all know we need exactly that too. *wipes sweat from brow*
I wanna thank Thelma, Damaris , Mackleen, Jennifer, Ashe, Ticu, Corey, Sante , and Tony for ALL your support ! :-)
The 1st event(11a-1pm) of the day is the one I most excited about. It's a mentoring session for children (especially boys) Where boys can forget how they're supposed to act and just be themselves and express their thoughts , dreams and hearts! This is lead by a wonderful woman by the name of Jennifer who was touched to start this program and Breukelen Mojo plans to help in any way possible!
*1p-4.30 Breukelen Mojo will be napping lol* Just kidding we'll be open !
the 2nd event(5.-7p) is affiliated with Meetup.com. Writers will meet here and talk about all things prose and poetry ! Sounds like a nice laid back get together !
The 3rd event (7.30p-10p) is with VH1 Save the Music! How cool is that? Thelma a local up and coming singer will be putting on a show with the Sammye E. Coan Middle School Choir to raise money for their music program.

Open Mic Every Friday
Ok ! Here's YOUR chance !
There are only Three Rules:
Keep profanity to a minumum (no sailors allowed)
No Dirty Poems (You Dirty Bird!)
Be Good ! (If u suck, don't come on stage)
Ok so the 3rd rule was a joke .. but u know what I mean ! lol
Whew ! & Open Mic ReCap
The post below was a rant. Boy ! It felt good to get that off my chest ! Now you see even more that we are not a franchise, not a huge corporation , not a chain. We're just two people trying to make our dreams come true.
Onto the news ! Our Open Mic was a small success ! Small because it was a small turnout. But the people that performed were REALLY good . The coolest part was when two 12 yr old girls got so comfortable with the atmosphere that they hopped on stage and did accapellas ! They were really good ! I hope Breukelen Mojo helped them overcome whatever stage fright they might've had ! We did have one guy that FLAKED out when he saw the small audience as well. I guess we werent good enough for whatever his name is? I guess he doesnt understand that you have to start somewhere ...to get somewhere and all your audiences aren't going to be huge, even if you're popular ! That's the nature of the business. But I'll B. Nice, because I've digressed . ;-)
Thanks again to those who came out ! And to the wimps that sat in the parking lot and saw it wasn't full enough for them and left ... Sup Wit Dat!?
*Disclaimer: Breukelen Mojo spreads love and doesn't hold back their tongues nor their hugs for ANYONE*
