Stuff we like
CB2
CB2 is a modern destination from Crate and Barrel for apartment, loft and home. CB2 designs are clever and in the moment, spare and simple but with great attention to details, and they're affordably priced so it's accessible to a wide range of consumers
We particularly like the CB2 one-of-a-finds collection -- limited edition items crafted by passionate artisans from around the world, each with a history and a story to share. These 'one-of-a-finds' items help to provide much needed funds for housing and education in the remote villages of their origin.
Mackenzie Ltd.com
From its fine selections of imported Scottish Smoked Salmon, to its more diverse offering of desserts, cheeses and prepared foods, Mackenzie Limited is our GO-TO catalog for all things food related. Our favorite 'ready-made' foods are the Lobster Risotto, the Wild Mushroom Tarts and the Corn Soufflé. Perfect for brunch -- their Spinach Gruyere Crepe Gateau or the Pear & Goat Cheese Tart - and if anyone has room for dessert, we can highly recommend their version of S'mores.

Revolution Prep
Revolution Prep is the national leader in classroom-based SAT and ACT prep, working with more students each year than any of their competitors. Their success has been driven by three core factors: curriculum, price, and social mission.
Revolution was founded on the idea that the big, well-known test prep companies simply weren't up to date with how students learn. They developed our own curriculum and found it to be much more effective, the result of which has been a 95% recommendation rate from students.
While a big factor for most families is price, Revolution's social mission is a big draw for many students and a core feature of the company. They've never turned away a student who couldn't pay for their course - and they never will. Any student who cannot afford to pay full price can contact them for a scholarship. Viva la Revolution!
