Wait, am I really suggesting we celebrate Mondays!? Well, Yes!

Because, if you really think about it, it’s like Father Time gave us a New Year every week in the form of the beginning of it. Which would be… ? Monday. Now ya’ got it.

In lieu of this new information, I’m listing seven things that should be on your radar. One for each day of the week. Enjoy!

#1)Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday

If you didn’t grow up with

the zany character Paul Reubens created, I’m sorry because it’s pretty awesome.

Although I would’ve liked his holiday to be longer it was still fun! If you missed it, no worries because it’s on Netflix. Not to mention, in 2011 little did I know Pee Wee was in my city and I could’ve met him! Life goal missed… but I digress it’s okay He’s with me in spirit.

#2) A kid that shares his toys!

There’s nothing like the purity and innocence you have as a child and this one is awesome.

How sweet that He recognizes that the World could use some smiles, amen to that!

Not to mention, I so want a rubber ducky from him. What can I say? I like bath time.

#3) The Flying Monkey Bakery Philadelphia.

Get ready to say yippie for whoopie! Firstly, I got to buy moon pies from a girl in a cape that did burlesque in NY on the side.

And secondly, how cool is that!? They also have a kooky creation that’s a pie inside of a cake! It’s like the pastry equivalent of turducken. Check them out at Philadelphia’s Reading Market or online here.

#4) Janes Carousel, in Brooklyn Bridge Park

I have always had a “thing,” with carousels(as in I must ride as many as possible in varying locations) and when I found out about this vintage beauty I had to ride it, so I did. See that here, and learn more about the carousel here. Not to mention, Martha Stewart is a fan. Therefore, everyone is welcome(even convicts!

#5) Art & Beer in Baja Mexico

Art-and-Beer

I have only seen pictures but my God I have no doubt this place is awesome!

Therefore, if your lucky enough to find yourself in Baja(I haven’t been) give this place a look and pour one out for your homie(me) just don’t waste too much beer. Check out this video of the place narrated by some cute voyaging vixens here.

#6) Dior Backstage Eyeliners

Just in case you forgot(or didn’t know in the first place) many moons ago Dior

released a very expensive set of “reusable,” eyeliner patches. Word on the street is that they’re generally too large for the eye and the glue is irritating. Therefore, I got mine on Ebay baby.! I have yet to use them, but I find so far imagining how beautious I’ll look in them does just as swell. Either way this is definitely a makeup “investment,” piece.

#7) Miss Dior parfume

More Dior? I know!

But have you actually smelled this scent!?

It’s definitely one of my favorites. I wish computers offered scratch and sniff for this one.

Not to mention, they call it Miss so it makes me feel young.(haha-ha.

At the ripe “ old age,” of 32 I’ll take what I can get.

Last but not least, the drink!

“To find joy in work, is to discover the fountain of youth.” -unknown.

Disclaimer: Mondays are actually good because, not only is it the beginning of a fresh week full of new possibilities but also about 120 hours in which to meet new goals!
As a former “weekend warrior,” I know Mondays get a bad rap but I have grown to love them. Something I never thought possible until I changed my perspective. Rather then dread them I now look forward to them. So, in that spirit I propose a toast. Here’s a list (and a cocktail of course) of seven things that should be on your radar, one for each day of the week.

#1 Rainbow Bagels.

Yup, these beautiful creations from The Bagel Store in Brooklyn, NY sold out in seconds upon their discovery. In fact, I’m still on a waiting list to snail mail order these unicorns of the bagel borough. Even though technically every borough of NYC is like a “bagel borough,” they’re as delicious as they are pretty. Forget the skittles I want to taste this rainbow! Check em’ out here.

#2 Babycakes nyc boxed mixes
Stellar news for anyone with a food allergy, this adorable and tasty bakery now sells mixes on Amazon! Thank you food Gods above. Check them out and purchase them online now! In the meantime watch this ridiculously cute video on Vimeo with music by The Cults. The niece of Babycakes owner Erin Mckenna makes up one half the band(of course) that, and I want their cute uniforms!

#3 Kissing bunnies! This one is somewhat irrelevant, but Valentines wasn’t too long ago and it is almost Easter. Besides, who doesn’t love fuzzy cute bunnies? If you don’t… “You unfeeling humanoid!”

#4 Bluetooth Shower Speaker I randomly found this online at Fab.com and it has revolutionized my mornings(wait- afternoon, I don’t wake up early) therefore, I highly recommend getting one, you can find them pretty cheap and let’s face it, they’re cute and put the fun in functional!

#5 Makeup, for your face! If you love makeup(guilty)

and you’re not of the high maintenance variety, this product is fantastic. It not only gives you pretty skin, is easy to apply(hello smear everywhere) and has SPF in it! You can find it at Ulta, but good luck because they’re usually nearly gone or picked over. Otherwise you can purchase it online, check it out here. Happy shopping!

#6 David Bowie, duh! If you love the space man your in luck because, Fab.com(again!?) has a line of accessories emblazoned with the image of it’s very own rock n’ roll alien.
