cinco de mayo

if you know me at all, you know that i have a deep love of all things spanish.

spain.

mexico.

south america.

central america.

latin culture.

mexican food.

fiestas.

siestas.

español.

hispanic studies.

the list could go on and on and on.

i mean, i did major in hispanic studies and spanish language.

so with that being said, you know i'll be celebrating cinco de mayo today. i can't wait to have a margarita in hand, dipping those delicious and warm tortilla chips in the most melt in your mouth guac and spicy salsa tonight!

so in honor of cinco de mayo i've put together some necessities for celebrating...
