Fabulous Jen from The Dating Jungle bestowed upon me the lovely Happy 101 award!

Jen – a New Yorker transplanted in L.A. – blogs about her dating adventures & her career as a Hollywood writer! If you haven’t checked out her blog yet, be sure to head over there – ASAP! ;-) Heart you tons, Jen!!

Ze Rules:

  • Copy the award image in the post;
  • List 10 things that make you happy (try to do at least one of them for today); &
  • Tag 10 bloggers that brighten your day (those tagged should link back to Midtown Girl :)
10 things that make MG happy:

1. Sunday mornings with an extra strong cup of deli coffee & the NY Times Fashion & Style section (of which, in this Sunday’s paper, Lady Gaga is the main topic).

2. Midtown Pups kissies, every time I come back to my apt.

3. Writing about my bullshit dating life – whatever makes you dolls happy, lol!

4. My parents.

5. Filling up online shopping carts with stuff I absolutely love & THINK I NEED and then checking these online carts a week later to find out my items are sold out – Say NO to impulse buying (or at least I try to anyway..sheesh!).

6. Finally getting over my OCD complex of the “it’s so new & I’m scared to use it & ruin it” attitude I have (or had) with my designer bags/shoes/coats. What’s the point of having fabulush things if it just sits dormant in my closet… sooo ovah it.

7. My apt decor..I love it – howevz, I bought a reproduction of a french lighting fixture for my living room and now I want the small crystal chandelier I originally had my eye on…the bling is calling MG dammit!

8. I finally ordered a new pink iPod Nano (listed in my stocking post on Jaime’s wonderful stocking post series here) after losing my older Nano in my apt (still not sure wtf happened)..where are u UPS?!?

9. Still figuring out my NYE plans, but I am happy that I have a few options avail to me.

10. I am happy, more than you lovelies could know, that I have met/chatted/tweeted/blogged with sooo many amazing people since starting Midtown Girl.

I am uber-Happy 101 to have you dahlings in my life, on a daily basis!

The weekend in NYC has been rainy & cold so far. It feels more like a Nov Fall than Dec Holiday Season, but at least we can grab a caramel brulee latte from Sbux & stay dry while holiday shopping indoors.
And speaking of Holiday Shopping…

Daffy’s Media Peeps asked MG to get reader’s opinions on a Daffy’s commercial that was recently shown to moviegoers at the Ziegfeld Theatre in Manhattan.

The commercial consisted of an onscreen presentation that combined a real-life dance performance by creative agency Johannes Leonardo.

I’ve actually never seen anything like it before and thought it was an uber-creative way of marketing. For the giveaway, all you dahlings have to do is watch the video below and give your opinion on it. And that’s it!

One winner will receive a $50 Gift Card to Daffy’s!!!

Rules – Super simple:
  • Watch the Daffy’s video above;
  • Leave a comment sharing your thoughts on the concept.
Giveaway ends Sun 12/13;
One winner will be chosen via random.org;
Winner will be announced Mon 12/14.

Just so you lovelies know: I am not getting paid to endorse Daffy’s. I just wanted to share a opportunity for my fabulush readers to win something for the Holiday Season!

Sunday kissies,
