I have to say that in the last couple of weeks I have found some amazing products and services that I need to share with you all. I recently was sent a bottle of “Bodvar” No. 0 a non-alcoholic rose that redefines the experience of indulgence without comprise. It’s crafted with the same dedication as Bodvar Rose’s award-winning wines; however, Bodvar No. 0 offers a delightful blend of flavors, perfect for any occasion.
I know many of you are thinking why would anyone drink a non-alcoholic Rose, just order mineral water, coffee, soda and or juice right? Well let me tell you that I am not a big drinker, and I always have to pace myself when I am traveling in groups or even going to social functions. I have a limit of 2 drinks a day which my body can handle. Sometimes, I am with groups of people, and I can’t keep up and it becomes uncomfortable when my company is offering me drinks especially my men. I always have to kindly explain that I am super thankful, but I just can’t take in more. Then people who keep drinking look at me and ask if I am on medication, a recovering alcoholic, or if something is wrong with me. Don’t get me wrong I love to drink alcohol and get down but recently it’s getting harder to say no without offending my company and or guests. The truth is I am not a big drinker.
I found the best solution is to order a Bottle of Bodvar No. O, which looks exactly like the Bodvar Rose. It tastes like Rose, and it looks like Rose and I sip it in my wine glass and still feel part of party. For some reason when I order coffee, mineral water and or juice I get looks from people and the vibe changes. Now I can keep the vibe going without being intoxicated and or passing out. I have done that at events and take a little cat nap and people get really mad. It’s just excess alcohol that puts me to sleep. Also, for people who don’t drink alcohol for various reasons this is the best drink of choice. You get the beautiful bottle of Bodvar (no one can tell it’s Bodvar No.0 (Non-alcoholic) as its not written on the bottle). Your still drinking Rose and keeping the Vibe. I met Bodvar Hafstrom, the Founder of Bodvar – House of Rose many years ago and I have to say there is something so charming about his aura and attitude. I recently interviewed Bodvar for The Hollywood Times and asked him why Rose is so popular in today’s jetsetter crowd especially in the South of France. There are so many alcoholic drinks to choose from on a menu. He said Rose, is a vibe. It is a very romantic wine. The South of France is considered the epicenter of Rose. When I was in St. Tropez, I could see many drinking Rose at the Beach Clubs/Day Clubs and Night Soirees. Its true when men were ordering me Rose in the South of France, it did put me more in a romantic mood and loosen my love chakra up. Cheers to a new era of Rose!

Halloween is not my favorite holiday but when I got invited by my friend and psychic to the stars Tara Sutphen’s Halloween Psychic Faire I had a change of heart. Tara had some of the world’s most credible psychics, mediums, aura photography, Vedic astrology, destiny oracle card reading, and sound & firefly light therapy. Only Josie Knows had a ball and got services from all and really felt amazing after.
Let me introduce Jacki Ji & Good Vibrations, as he read my aura. Pretty accurate, with my throat chakras being the strongest as I speak my truth. Although I was told to work on my groundings and hold my energy in.

My second reading was with Tarot Medium & Psychic Susan Georgiev. She was spot on with how my life is going, it was unbelievable, I will let you listen to my reading and let my viewers decide how accurate she was. I could not believe it! The one thing that she got spot on is that I do things my way and I usually get them done. I listen to others but if it does not feel right or sits right in my gut and soul I end up doing it my way, the universe wants me to know that is my strength and to keep going forward with my own way.
Susan can be contacted for your personal reading
Let me introduce Jason D. McKean aka the Tarot Wizard. Jason got into tarot reading by a casting for a reality tv show. He teaches around the country and even writes books on tarot. However, he uses his intuition and not so much science-based methods of Tarot. He feels the cards and has his own magic to his readings.
Jason can be reached at JasondMcKean.com
The organizer and my dear friend Tara Sutphen.
Tara usually does not use the Tarot cards; she is more of a psychic reader. This was our first read where she used her new “Christina Ricci” deck. Tara previously (2 months ago) predicted that I will meet a man 2 years younger and he will be in the real estate business, and that was sure “My Frenchman” that I met in St. Tropez over the summer. Make sure you listen to my read, as Tara makes her predictions on who Mr. Right will be for me and If I will be in Europe sooner than later!
