All too often, women fear their momentary mistakes rather than reveling in their episodes of excellence. The number of mistakes adds up, gathering mass and force to shake the foundations of even the happiest life. Unfortunately, this is the way many women think about everything—their love lives, their bank accounts, their family life, their career, and their body image.

Lucy Danziger, editor in chief of Self, and Catherine Birndorf, a psychiatrist and expert on women’s mental health issues, have teamed up to figure out why it’s all too common for women to be thrown off balance if things are going well in all areas of life except for one.

In their new book, THE NINE ROOMS OF HAPPINESS: Loving Yourself, Finding Your Purpose, and Getting Over Life’s Little Imperfections, they use the simple metaphor of a house to illustrate the central problem: when women should be grateful for what they have in their lives in the room at hand, they are either seeing the room’s imperfections or, worse, worrying about another room. The book takes women through different parts of their lives (homes), helps them understand their patterns, and gives them new ways of thinking to solve their own problems.

Brian Levin, Co-Founder of Perky Jerky, stopped by the studio this morning. Two years ago Levin was skiing in Colorado with his friend Matt Keiser when inspiration struck. Heading up the mountain on a lift for another run, Levin grabbed his bag and realized a spill on their last descent caused two cans of RedBull to explode all over their mountain top snack - beef jerky. With nothing else to eat and a need for some energy, they ate the soaked jerky and immediately realized that their poor packing skills kicked off the idea to create a great new product.

Two months ago, after a few years of R&D, Matt and Brian launched Perky Jerky the worlds first energy beef jerky. Though it's only been on the shelves for a short amount of time, it's already found thousands of fans, has shown up in the X-Games and at Sundance and is quickly finding tremendous cult following amongst athletes looking for energy AND protein in a snack without all the carbonation, carbs or sugar.

Perky Jerky is caffeinated beef jerky, made from 100% all natural beef, with an invigorating additive derived from Guarana , a natural energy booster with approximately twice the caffeine content of a coffee bean. For more on Perky Jerky log onto http://www.perkyjerky.com/home.php

You've heard the story about the man, now let's get to the bottom of the day we set aside to celebrate St. Patrick, the day where EVERYONE is Irish.

Ask any reveler - St. Patrick's Day is all about a spectacular parade followed by hours of drinking and debauchery. That's true of all major US cities, and that's no surprise. There are more Americans of Irish origin than their are Irish in Ireland. That means 36,278,332 Americans — over 11.9% of total population—reported some Irish ancestry . To put that into perspective.... that's NINE TIMES the population of Ireland.

It seems like New York it the center of Irish-American culture - but that's not exactly the case. While it's true we have the largest NUMBER of residents claiming Irish heritage, the greatest concetration of Irish-Americans can be found in Massachusetts, where 23% of residents are of Irish decent. New Hampshire comes in second (20%) while Rhode Island is a close third with 18%.

CLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE ST. PATRICK'S DAY COVERAGE.

1. New York's St. Patrick's Day parade is the longest running civilian parade in the world. This year nearly three million spectators are expected to watch the spectacle and some 150,000 participants plan to march.

2. Traditional St Patrick’s Day food includes, Irish soda bread, corned beef and cabbage, Irish stew, and of course, Guinness. But you'll only find this traditional meal in America - it's not part of Ireland's celebration.

3. Some American towns have “Irish” names. You could visit: Mount Gay-Shamrock, West Virginia; Shamrock Lakes, Indiana; Shamrock, Oklahoma; Shamrock, Texas; Dublin, California and Dublin, Ohio.

Have you heard the stories about St. Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland? Well, that's all Blarney! Here's the REAL story:

St. Patrick wasn't a born and bred Irishman - in fact, baby Maewyn Succat was born to a wealthy PAGAN family in Britian and the end of the fourth century. His father was considered a Christian Deacon, a title he took on strictly for the purpose of tax breaks.

Azucar's chef Nick Vasquez won Throwdown with Bobby Flay in last week's episode. He's here to show us his signature Cornbeef Cuban sandwich with an Irish twist in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

Nick made a classic Cubano sandwich, with Cuban bread pressed flat and crispy on the outside. Nick seasoned his pork shoulder with a rub consisting of garlic, oregano, cumin (a necessary spice for Cuban cooking giving it an earthy texture and aroma), and sour oranges. The pork marinates for an entire day.

Afterwards, Nick covered the pork in salt, which keeps the moisture in the pork while cooking it for 5 to 6 hours at 350 degrees. The salt peels off in a layer when done. Nick used layers of Virginia ham and park, with thin slices of long Kosher pickles and mayonnaise for his dressing. The sandwich was then pressed in a sandwich press (plancha) until the cheese melts. Yum!

Azucar is located in Jersey City, NJ. For more information, visit www.azucarcubancuisine.com.

On March 15, Dine in Brooklyn, an initiative of Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and Best of Brooklyn, Inc., officially kicked off 11 days of more than 200 Brooklyn restaurants serving up three-course dinner menus for just $25, three-course lunches for $20.10 and even some "two for the price of one" deals at participating restaurants (list below).

Patrons will also have the opportunity to contribute to Share the Table, a fundraising campaign with the New York City Coalition Against Hunger (NYCCAH). The generosity of Dine in Brooklyn customers and others will help meet the immediate food needs of low-income families in Brooklyn by supporting food purchases for the Brooklyn Alliance of Community Services, as well as expanding and improving the programs and policies necessary to enable low-income Brooklyn families to achieve greater economic self-sufficiency and move beyond their need for emergency food pantries and soup kitchens. Dine in Brooklyn lasts through Wednesday, March 24th.

The laughter started the moment actress Valerie Harper hit the stage and didn't stop until the curtain call. I had the chance to see Valerie Harper in her juicy, new role on Broadway last night, and the way the audience responded to her role as Tallulah Bankhead, in the new play LOOPED at the Lyceum Theatre. This morning we spoke in the greenroom here at WPIX before her interview, and she is simply a class act: fun, energetic and fabulous to be around.

If you aren't familiar with Tallulah Bankhead, here is a little background on the show if you are thinking about going to see it. I highly recommend you grab some tickets before they are all sold out!

Based on a real event, LOOPED takes place in the summer of 1965, when an inebriated Tallulah Bankhead stumbles into a sound studio to rerecord (or 'loop') one line of dialogue for her last movie --Die, Die, My Darling. Ms. Bankhead was known for her wild partying and convention-defying exploits that surpassed even today's celebrity bad girls. Given her intoxicated state and inability to loop the line properly, what ensues is an uproarious showdown between an uptight film editor, Danny Miller, and the outrageous legend.

Each week we're telling viewers about events, activities and items that are free. That's right! No money required.

On this week's free list:

1. "People Don't Dance No More" event in Brooklyn

• Touchback is the first liquid hair color in a marker and is completely mistake-proof

• Use the guiding comb underneath hair and apply the touchback marker directly to grays, let dry for a minute and then you can style and comb through hair

Just in time for Spring, romance is in the air for many, but perhaps not for everyone. Author and relationship expert Susan Elliott stopped by the PIX Morning News to talk about how to get beyond a failed relationship and find new romance.

With flowers reawakening in spring and a new wedding season on the horizon, many people are anxious to break out of their winter hibernation to find a love match of their own.

Even those with a track record of failed relationships can spring back from a rocky place to end their destructive pattern, says relationship expert and certified grief counselor Susan J. Elliott.

The name says it all. With their beeline approach to high-flying fun, the cheeky Aussies of Circa push their own limits as they barrel, bolt and balance at breakneck speed across The New Victory stage in 46 Circus Acts in 45 Minutes from March 19 through April 4, 2010.

In 46 Circus Acts in 45 Minutes, Circa performs a show based on the dramatic thrust of time. With the incessant mounting pressure of the clock, each act -- some are ironic, some anarchic, some plain silly and others awe-inspiring -- crystallizes into a small but perfect moment. Featuring four cirque talents with expertise in such disciplines as aerial acrobatics, hand balancing, contortion and hilarious clowning, 46 Circus Acts in 45 Minutes is a zany salvo of traditional and not-so-traditional circus stunts.

This morning we welcomed Ezra Miller of the new film, "City Island," to our studio to talk about the movie and his role as Andy Garcia’s son.

Searching the Internet for a site that caters to his fantasies, he discovers that his neighbor (Carrie Baker Reynolds) has her own site; she invites him over to her house for some fun.

City Island is about a man named Vince Rizzo (Andy Garcia) a lifelong resident of a small Bronx, NY enclave of City Island. He’s your average family man who makes his living as a Correction Officer with aspiration of being an actor someday. Instead of letting his wife Joyce (Julianna Margulies) know he’s taking private acting classes in Manhattan, he leaves her to think he’s having an affair. When in class Vince is asked to reveal a secret- which he does, and accidentally sets off a chaotic chain of events that turns his everyday suburban life upside down.

I had a chance to sit down with Grunberg, the star of NBC's Heroes, who is not only passionate about the cause, but he is determined and dedicated to the fight against epilepsy because his oldest son was diagnosed at the age of 7.

Greg and his family are like the millions of other families who have learned a lot about the challenges of the condition, and they continue to work with Jake's doctors to find a treatment plan that will manage his seizures.

Hunting Season: A Field Guide For Targeting and Capturing the Perfect Man is a dating guide that applies the rules of deer hunting (a hobby of author Elle) to helping women land their perfect buck (aka man)! Some of her tips include:

• Define your goal before the season opens (April 1st- September 31st): Are you Trophy Hunting (dating with the goal of a committed relationship) or do you want to Bag ‘n Tag (commitment-free dating)? Your strategies will be different depending on your goal.

• The Off Season (October 1st - March 31st) is for hibernation, emotional healing, and gun polishing. Elle doesn’t hunt then, and neither should you.

Elle also discussed the Hunting Gear every woman needs in her closet or the Seven Deadly Sins of Hunting (such as Never Hunt Another Hunter's Buck or Never Drink to Excess

Jamba Juice is putting a new spin on tea with it’s Hot Blends – a line of organic tea lattes and hot chocolate, all mixed to perfection in Jamba’s high speed blenders!

To celebrate the launch of the delicious Hot Blends, Jamba conducted a six-city, multi-week Hot Blend Spin Tour that made it's final stop in New York’s Time Square today! Jamba Juice will encourage New Yorkers to hop on one of its 15 Fender Blender Bikes--stationary bikes equipped with the same blender and blade used inside Jamba stores — and blend up their own Spiced Chai Tea latte, using just the power of their own pedaling. The reward? A tasty, organic, smooth chai latte blended to perfection— and on the house!

Our Ojinika Obiekwe joined Bananaman – Jamba Juice’s very own “Jambassador” in the PIX PLAZA to blend up beverages for us.
