Hello everyone! Hope you are well, busy, busy weekend over here after a very crazy and hectic week. We had a few social commitments this weekend and one of my best friends and husband is visiting form out of town. So a good but nonstop summer kind of a weekend. They are flying by fast…the back to school sales and fall clothing previews are in full swing.<\/p>\n

Hope you are having a great weekend. Absolutely heartbroken seeing the result of the devastating fires in Maui, it is almost hard to wrap your brain around that level of destruction and the pictures\/videos emerging just are too much to take. We are honored to be able to support the\u00a0 Hawaii Relief effort and will donate 10% of all sales Sat and Sunday to Catholic Charities of Hawaii<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>. We have a 25% off all new arrivals (ends tonight)\u00a0 they is absolutely worth checking out! It’s a win\/win.<\/p>\n

OK time to move along with my post this Sunday…<\/p>\n

1 CLOSEST THING TO NAPA <\/b>We went with friends to the North Fork of Long Island , also home to many wineries and farms, and just a beautiful spot on Long Island. Most wineries feel pretty generic except my favorite, Croteaux<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>which is just so charming and feels like a little slice of Napa. We went on a beautiful late afternoon then had dinner at Southern Social<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, which was excellent. How I wish it was closer. We met the chef, Franoics Payard who was so friendly and kind, and beyond talented! Both stops if you are in the area or will be visiting are highly recommended!<\/p>\n

2 A FAVORITE EASY LIGHT LUNCH<\/strong> Should have prefaced this post by warning you, if you are hungry to hold off reading:) I make this at least 2-3 times a week. There is a little local Greek place where I pick up their falafels. I get my favorite wrap which is super low in carbs, slice up a nice ripe tomato, cut up 2 small Persian cucumbers, and sometimes a little red onion. I spread hummus on the wrap (which I put into a skillet for about 2 minuses to warm up and it gets a little crispy) then add the falafel, tomato and cucumber. SO good and healthy!<\/p>\n

3 AN INCREDIBLY INSPIRING STORY<\/strong> I was so touched when I read about Gordon Wayne and have since been following him on Instagram (click here<\/strong><\/a><\/em>) . If this story doesn’t touch you don’t know what will. This is truly remarkable and a testament to the will of the human spirit and what people can do under the most dire circumstances.<\/p>\n

Homeless a year ago Gordon worked while applying to community colleges, eventually landed at Boston College and decided to raise awareness for homelessness by walking a staggering 500 miles from his hometown in West Virginia all the way to the stadium of his college. Just inspiring all the way around! I think we are going to hear and see much more from this remarkable young man! Click here for his Go fund me page<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
