DailyCandy is one my favorite email newsletters. I receive close to 10 daily; Adage, Talent Zoo, Real Simple, Etsy, HOW, Mashable!, MediaWorks… and most times I can wake up so overwhelmed that I just delete them all. [This is why I have had to stop checking my email from my iphone after my eyes have just opened!] But nine times out of 10, I save DailyCandy to be opened later. Centered around the city I live in they send me tidbits about events, stores, or must sees. Their newsletters are filled with personality and cater directly to me. Sometimes I feel when reading them that they wrote an email just for me. Could it be?
This past weeks daily newsletter is no different. They are telling me about an incredible cupcake shop (Win!) that I must check out and to get the point across they tie it in with New Moon’s Jacob Black (Double Win!). You can read the entire newsletter after the break (just click on keep reading) or just see my favorite part here,
You joined a gaggle of swooning 13-year-olds for the midnight showing. Then spent two hours ogling a teen werewolf’s abs (dude was born in 1992).
You’ve hardly been acting your age.

They hit me right on the nose! I sat through 2 hours of New Moon in a trance. Afterward I had to constantly remind myself that Jacob Black in real life is a 17 year old boy! I feel dirty just typing it! But the reason I write this is not to completely embarrass myself but to pat DC on the back and congratulate them on sending out daily emails that have the ability to capture an essence that can relate to many individuals across a spectrum of a city.

You joined a gaggle of swooning 13-year-olds for the midnight showing. Then spent two hours ogling a teen werewolf’s abs (dude was born in 1992).
You’ve hardly been acting your age.
So line up for another new moon: Moonbabycakes. Owner Priscilla Chung isn’t the first to cash in on our inner child, but her organic cupcakes send our hearts aflutter.
Chung’s cookies-and-cream confection is topped with a generous swirl of vanilla buttercream blended with cookies, then adorned with a teensy Oreo. Banana cake gets a tangy cream cheese frosting, and her best-selling red velvet version confirms why it’s the flavor of the moment.
Customers can also customize their cakes with fourteen cake flavors and twelve frostings to mix and match. So we all get exactly what we want, whether in our fifth year or fifteenth.
Or, in your case, your twilight years.
