Yesterday I walked into a Brooklyn bakery, I won't name names, let's just call it "Cake Ambalamps" and here's what happened:
me: I'd like one red velvet cupcake
cupcake man: okay, one red velvet coming up
(cupcake man fiddles around with the cupcake case)
me: how much?
cupcake man: $2.50
(I dig in my bag and pull out a crumpled twenty and two quarters)
me: here you go
(cupcake man walks to register and fiddles around)
me: is everything okay?
cupcake man: Do you have anything smaller than a $20?

I've decided to be more joyful even when I'm vexed with the craziness of city living--no one wants to spend time with a grouch. Here are the last few sentences of today's Daily OM, which I think is right on point with my decision (smile)!
...Making happiness a priority will help you find five minutes every day to indulge in the things that inspire elation within you. Eventually, your happiness breaks will become an established part of your routine. If you start by pursuing activities you already enjoy and then gradually think up new and different ways to fill your daily five minutes of happiness, you will never be without something to smile about.

On Tuesday, May 4th, I attended the debut of Signature a line of jewelry by Sue Tsai. If you have not heard of Sue Tsai, she's an über talented designer with a keen eye for all things artistic. Not only does she make jewelry, she's a model, illustrator, graphic designer, and a savvy business woman.
Creatively crafted from sterling silver and mixed metals the collection exudes Sue's signature vintage "glam-rock" style. The event, held at La Pomme in Manhattan, featured a fancy cocktail reception were Sue was able to showcase her phenomenal cuffs, over-sized rings, and elaborate earrings. There was much to looooove. I'm actually eying a few of the rings--my favs are Nigel the Dragon, 'Hi', and of course 'Yes'.
Want to see more of Sue's collection? It can be viewed online and in her New York City showroom. Visit her site for more details.
