Love & Luck in the Year of the Rat

Look Out 2020:
Here Comes the Lucky Rat!

Kung Hei Fat Choi! Saturday, January 25^th welcomes the Lunar New Year of the Metal Rat. Quick witted, energetic and agile, the rodent scampers in, ready for action. Among the most auspicious of Chinese horoscope signs, this optimistic survivor is well equipped for turning dreams into reality, observing its surroundings and strategizing accordingly. Under the rat’s watch, financial opportunity abounds, so take advantage and stash cash for the future. The element of metal adds an edge to ambitions — we cut ties with the past with little regrets. 

Intelligent and sociable, the gregarious rat loves its pack, so expect to hang out with family and friends. Still, remember to look out for yourself and take a break from the rat race to rejuvenate body and soul. Happy Lunar New Year from all of us at Momo,

xo Rat on!

Big Love

Many thanks to Toni Yuly for generously sharing her torn tissue Rat Love art with Momo.

Cuddle Huddle

Shout “Go Hawks!” from the sofa as you show your team spirit in the comfort of cozy room socks. At Momo we’ve got the gear for the armchair athlete with our limited supply of his-n-her’s Japanese socks in Seahawks blue and green (or Sounders, depending on your game 😉). Pop in soon to join the cuddle. 

Wear your colors!

And if you’re craving something EXTRA plush and toasty to pad around in during the snowy days ahead, we still have a handful of these great cuffed room socks! With freezing temperatures in the forecast, you can never keep your toes too snug. Grips assure firm footing while being easy on hardwood floors.

Homey New Year to you! Enjoy the snow.

Aloha, Tuesday!

Poor Tuesday. It’s the middle child of weekdays. Everyone appreciates the fresh start of Monday, and Wednesday is Humpday — halfway there! We can see the weekend from Thursday; then it’s Hello Friday! (And don’t even mention the most popular pair, Saturday and Sunday.)

But there are more than a few reasons to love the most trivialized day of the week. Tuesday is:

1.     The safest day to drive.

2.     The most productive day of the week.

3.     The best day to land a job.

4.     The smartest day to schedule a meeting.

5.     The most popular day to exercise.

6.     The lowest day for airfares. 

7.     The best night to get a good sleep.

We’ve also decided that Tuesday is the ideal day for Momo to take a long-awaited rest. Since everyone’s busy getting things done instead of going shopping, it makes sense that after nearly a decade of being open seven days a week, we will be closed every Tuesday.

But not to worry, we’ll still be here for you, Monday, Wednesday through Saturday, 11 – 6 and Sunday, 12 – 5. And on Tuesday, we’ll see you at the gym!

Happy New Year,

xo Momo
