Sweet Treats @bakedbymelissa
The perfect birthday gift can be hard to find; sometimes there’s not enough time and nothing seems right or good enough for the fabulous birthday king or queen. Today is my sister’s birthday (shout-out to the bday girl!). So, last night (extremely last minute, I know), on my quest to find the ultimate birthday present, I found myself at Union Square, and still empty-handed, when I stumbled upon the answer to all my gift giving misfortunes—cupcakes Baked by Melissa!
The perfect bite-sized little cupcakes in assorted flavors, “Baked By Melissa” are a fun and delicious way to celebrate! I mean who can resist mini cupcakes baked and frosted to perfection? Usually food makes a great gift and I have to say the cakes were a hit. I bought a box of 25 for $20 and they were all happily consumed between the hours of 12-midnight and 12:05am.
So, if you’re in search of a last minute—and delicious—way to celebrate and show someone you care (or at least buy you some time until you can find something more substantial), consider these cute little morsels; they’ll do the trick!

@FreshFounder Fresh is Back in Union Square!
Last week, Fresh re-opened its Union Square store after renovations with cocktails, snacks, music and mini-spa treatments for guests. Shecky’s co-sponsored this night of pampering and indulgence.
Fresh features luxurious fragrances, skin care, body care, makeup, haircare and home products made with all-natural ingredients like sugar, milk, soy, and rice.
I tried the Brown Sugar Body Polish ($65-14.1 oz, $38-7oz) and fell in love! It’s an all-natural exfoliant with real brown sugar crystals that dissolve as they buff away dry skin. The blend of precious oils leave your skin unbelievably soft. And the smell…it’s as decadent as the name suggests.

(NY) Bubble Guy
I was walking around last week and I saw this amazingness at Union Square. Such a simple gesture but so inspirational and appropriate to those sensitive enough to notice. I am always looking for a sign. I was feeling exceptionally unsure about what New York holds for me and what I should be doing. But when I saw this man, I realized what I have known all along and maybe kind of forgot momentarily. People tell you to be safe, have a plan B and ask yourself 100 x if you are sure when you already knew from the get go that you were. I think it take only 5 seconds to know know you have to GO FOR IT. But it may take 5 days, 5 months or even 5 years of reasoning and back pedaling until you actually have to courage to do it. I was on the phone with my friend and he told me the thing he loves the most about me is that I really don’t get a *beep* and what I want I truly go for it, knowing that you it will work out.
I truly believe in ‘Manna from Heaven‘. It comes in all kinds of ways, shapes and forms especially when self doubt is at an all time high and opportunities seems to be slim to none. Sometimes, it truly is a sign like this:
and sometimes, it is less obviously but no less entertaining like this:
I stood in awe, like the child in the green jacket at just stared at the multitude of colors and the bubble coming to life. Many many people walked on by, hurried to their destination or loudly talked on their cellphones or was too busy texting to even look up to notice. I love things like this because when you are truly sensitive to the world around you, you will see, hear, smell, taste and feel more.
Moral of the day: Don’t let anyone burst your bubble.
