Cupcake Queens

Cupcake Queens

If you ever want to bribe me, just offer me one of two things- B or C (or both if you want to be my favorite person in the world):

 

B)loomingdales
C)upcakes

 

But I have to say the latter is a sweet treat I can’t ever seem to resist. What cures a hangover, brings sunshine into your day, is better than having a slice of cake and will make you glow with happiness afterwards? Yep, I’m talking cupcakes. The sweet little morsels deserve to be sought after and they bring me joy. No, seriously. They do bring me joy.

 

The new trend of cupcake “boutiques” is just fabulous. For roughly $3 you can get a delicious cupcake that is entirely more deserving of your money than an iced coffee or scoop of ice cream. Here in San Francisco we have several good ones from which you can choose. I love That Takes the Cake red velvet (seriously it is so delicious) and Kara’s Cupcakes sweet vanilla will change your idea of “vanilla” forever. Citizen Cupcake and Miette offer sweet treats that can satisfy when shopping in Union Square or enjoying the sun at the Ferry Building.

 

What’s best about these treats? They are pretty much designed to never disappoint. So make a cupcake date as soon as you can. And get an extra for me and I’ll love you forever.

Enlightenment: A WIT's guide to building a book collection

Now that so many of the major holidays are almost behind us, this time of year is a great opportunity to catch up on some reading. And I’m not just talking about magazines or the occasional front page of your local newspaper. There’s been a recent surge of books written by women that can serve as almost self-improvement or life-improvement guides. Below you’ll find an array of books I recommend to continue your pursuit of wittyness! Enjoy!
