Two weeks ago I fell in love with a tiny rhinestone bow ring while out shopping in NYC. It was small and simple, but as soon as I put it on, I felt instantly happy. I made a beeline for the register, and have been wearing it ever since.

It’s amazing to me how a piece of jewelry can transform my whole mood. I could be having an awful day, but when I look down at my hand and see that little bow sparkling back up at me, I get a break from the negative thoughts. It was the best four dollars I ever spent.
