Jewelry is an essential part of a fashionable ensemble, just like bits of the morning newspaper are an essential part of a balanced breakfast. Round out your wardrobe with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of handmade jewelry at Susannah Elle Designs in Mandeville.
Susannah Elle Designs' experienced trinket tailors hand-string earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets with a distinctive mix of stones and baubles. The beaded wire-wrapped bracelet ($28) and turquoise caged ring ($34) trap turquoise orbs behind gilded bars, preventing rebellious stones from inciting jewelry-box insurrections. With a specialty in wire-wrapped jewelry, the shop's designers mold strands of nontarnishing gold- or silver-plated metal and copper to craft ornaments such as sleek, gilded roman bangles ($16 each) and the classic pearl wrap ring ($34). With hot-pink and crystal double-beaded hoop earrings ($36), patrons can add a splash of color to nude earlobes or train hood ornaments to hula-hoop.

The Groupon Guide to: Identifying Poisonous Plants
Poison Ivy
- Identifying Characteristics: This perilous plant sprouts trifoliate, almond-shaped leaflets that differentiate it from "true" ivy, which only grows on the sides of America's best colleges.
- Effects of Exposure: Itchiness, fear of phobias, bones falling off
- Antidote: Rub affected areas against all of your body's clean, unaffected areas in order to sterilize the infection.
Poison Oak
- Identifying Characteristics: This toxic topiary looks identical to a beautiful butterfly, but unlike a butterfly, it must never be eaten.
- Effects of Exposure: Overall elevated mood, increased self-confidence, seeing potential mates as more attractive, a.k.a. "poison goggles"
- Antidote: Overpower the affected area with soothing snake venom, then neutralize the snake venom by injecting snake blood, which is obviously immune to the venom.
Poison Sumac - Identifying Characteristics: This harmful hedge is better known by its Latin name, bears. Unlike most plants, which are stationary and green, this free-roaming, furry flora is identifiable by its gnashing teeth and lust for blood.
- Effects of Exposure: Being opened by their claws and getting dragged back to their hibernation holes
- Antidote: If you accidentally rub up against a sumac and her cubs, attempt to appease them by regurgitating heaping gobs of honey into their mouths until they fall asleep.
