We had a few friends over for Cinco De Mayo and used a couple really simple recipes for easy entertaining.  We LOVE guacamole!  Some our our favorite guac spots in the city are: Rosa Mexicano, Mama Mexico, Hecho en Dumbo, and Mercadito.

The Fresh Air Fund is a non-profit we have worked with for a few years.  The group gives over 1.7M disadvantaged New York City kids the opportunity to participate in free summer programs and home stays, allowing them to escape their difficult city lives while creating unforgettable memories and lifelong friendships.  

There are several opportunities to be involved with The Fresh Air Fund through mentoring, tutoring, donating, or joining their charity committee. 

What can you do now? 

Juicy Couture and Bloomingdales have partnered to host "Couture for a Cause" to raise money for The Fresh Air Fund.  If you have a minute, please stop by next Thursday for shopping + cocktails + giving.

After a super fun, action-filled vacation we were pretty drained and desperately needed a little motivation.  Solution: there's nothing like an early morning run by the Hudson River and a bit of inspiration to start the day off on the right track.

Hope you all have a great day!

Back from New Orleans and we absolutely fell in love with the city.  The music, food, and culture that Nola has to offer cannot be found anywhere else--Jazz Fest is definitely going to become an annual tradition.
