things that brighten up my life...

There are things that quite literally light up my day. Some things brighten it up for people in the immediate vicinity... like my loud apparel...

I'm in love with these new DV by Dolce Vita sandals, on sale of course. Can't wait for the weather to warm up a tad so I can sport these out.

Sometimes the day-brightening and smile-inducing agent is a little easier on the wallet, like these orange gerbera daisies and roses from Trader Joe's. For $10 I picked up these two mini bouquets and created an orange explosion that will last for a week.

And if we go even further down the scale (to the point that you can purchase it with the money in your coin purse,) there's Yoppi yogurt. This week the Yoppi on Montgomery Street had blueberry tart yogurt, a flavor near and dear to my heart (my sister says that blueberries are like me because they turn an unexpected shade of purple when transformed into ice cream, or in this case, yogurt.) I'm not a fan of overly-conscious healthy stuff but the slight sweetness of the yogurt is enough to tide me over through an afternoon at the office.

This week I award Yoppi extra bonus points for stocking spoons that match my tights.

Another day, same combination: blueberry tart yogurt topped with blackberries and raspberries... if it weren't for blueberry tart, I'd probably get chocolate or original tart and load it with chocolate chip cookie dough balls. Try that for healthy!

Yes, many tangible things can brighten my day. But I think the nicest thing was something that brightened my day in a figurative manner... I am very proud to say that my big brother graduated from police academy today!

But don't come asking me for a get-out-of-jail card!
