Ummm HI THERE!!! Oh, how Iâve missed you all….
As you can tell, I wasnât kidding when I said I might go MIA. As I mentioned on Friday, my computer was put to (a temporary) death by a virus but should be back in action tomorrow. Upon its return, I look forward to bringing you a handful of NYC restaurant reviews, a life lesson post or two, etc…
But - until then - what better way is there to start off this rainy work week than with a giveaway?!
Since posting about French macarons a few times last week, most of you have expressed that youâre either a) dying to try them or b) already as obsessed with them as I am. So Iâm excited to give a box of 8 macarons from NYCâs Cafe M to TWO gorgeous readers.

Hereâs how to enter:
1) Leave a comment describing your favorite part about this past weekend (no matter how significant or insignificant it may have been!).
Two more (optional) means of entry:
2) Follow me on Twitter (already following me can count too).
3) Tweet about the giveaway: “@alagracie is giving away her favorite French macarons! http://tinyurl.com/3clnzxp”
Make sure to leave a comment for each entry in order for them to be counted.
The contest will end on Wednesday, May 18 at 5pm EST, so get your entries in! Good luck, and thanks for being the amazing and supportive readers/friends a girl could ask for 
xoxo G

I was actually in Paris for the first time last week. So Iâd have to say my favorite part of the weekend was trying a different flavored macaroon at every boulangerie. So far Iâve tried and loved caramel, raspberry, pistachio, coconut and chocolate… and Iâd love to be able to try a few more!
this past weekend i went to a pool party for my friendâs 18th birthday!
i got to spend it with you!
