Don’t Kill The Flowers

Is that not the saddest-looking mini-daffodil you have ever seen?

Why can I not keep a plant alive? Whyyyy?

I've tried everything with this little guy, trucking him around to different parts our apartment in search of the right balance of light and air, watering him religiously, blowing him little kisses...and still.

Anyway, I am the last person you want to get apartment gardening tips from. But click here for some ideas from girls who seem to have a better handle on these kinds of things.

Eat All The Burgers

This was the first location we shot in yesterday: The Burger Joint, which you get to in a very neat way, by wandering through the fancy-pants lobby of Le Parker Meridian Hotel and then ducking behind a thick burgundy curtain (the only indicator of what's to come is a small neon hamburger on the wall).

Inside, a super-cool (and tiny; go early or face completely crazy lines) space with wood paneling, vinyl booths, and one of the best burgers in the city (get it fully loaded with cheese).

Anywhere with lampshades like that has my official Seal Of Approval.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Count Me Healthy Bracelet (starting at $88): This is a pretty neat twist on jewelry, especially for a new mom or someone who's into setting health goals for themselves: you slide the little beads on the bracelet from one side to another over the course of the day to track your progress towards a goal (every time you, say, drink a glass of water).

Fossil Stella Mini Watch ($115): Who wouldn't love a rose gold watch in a classic shape? And this one is (well, relatively; it's still a watch) affordable.

bamboopink Rio Coral Hoops ($34): I actually just gave my own mother a pair of these - their striking color and beautiful details make them gorgeous for both everyday and special occasions.
