The Easter Bunny is on his way! Easter is just over a week away (Sunday, April 4), but it’s not too late to decorate for the holiday or craft a special Easter basket for young ones.
TheSoul Publishing – the company behind some of YouTube’s most-watched channels – has put together several fun and easy tips to decorate for Easter this year.
Hand towel bunnies! Simply twist a brightly-colored hand towel into one long piece, and secure the bottom third with a rubber band. Add googly eyes, a puff ball nose, and wrap a ribbon around the rubber band to create a simple and adorable bunny – perfect for mantle decoration! (Full instructions here)
Naturally dyed Easter eggs: If you’re looking to avoid harsh chemicals for your Easter egg dye, or just don’t have time to buy prepackaged kits at the store, you can use household items to achieve the same result. Try turmeric, beets, purple cabbage, and more! (Full instructions here)
Adorable seasonal place settings: Are you hosting Easter brunch this year? Make a holiday-appropriate place setting with a bunny napkin, complete with an Easter egg face! (Full instructions here)
Egg-celent Herb Garden: Get your chives, parsley, and cilantro ready for Easter by planting them in egg shells to keep the soil fertile and add a nice holiday touch to your kitchen window. (Full instructions here)
To celebrate, TheSoul Publishing — the publisher behind one of the top five YouTube channels, 5-Minute Crafts – has provided some delicious treats to keep the fun going at your Super Bowl party.
Easy Oreo Cake Pops – Crush a bag of Oreos and combine with cream cheese. Roll into balls and insert a toothpick; then, dip into melted white chocolate and freeze. Yum! (Instructions here)
Elegant Chocolate Rose Cookies – Combine melted chocolate and flour, and then add to a piping bag. Create small spirals on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and then bake. These elevated cookies will add a touch of glamour to watching football at home! (Instructions here)
Colorful Popcorn! – Add oil and popcorn kernels to a deep pot, as if you’re making stovetop popcorn. Then, add a secret ingredient…skittles! As the kernels pop, they will become bright, colorful, and the perfect combination of salty and sweet. (Instructions here)
Avocado Fries – What’s better than guacamole and chips? How about frying avocado for a delicious snack! Dredge avocado slices in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then add to hot oil to fry until golden brown. (Instructions here)
Pull Apart Mozzarella Sticks – Slice a block of mozzarella into pieces (without slicing all the way through); add to hot frying oil, then serve with marinara sauce for a savory snack. (Instructions here)

From viewing the collection, my favorite pieces included collar necklaces, wide belts, sheer tops, and long (flowing) skirts. Every design from the show was stunning!
I’m excited to announce that I have joined the Covergirl Exclusive Insiders Community!The program provides beauty products, makeup tips, and online discussions.I love affordable cosmetics and couldn’t wait to share Covergirl updates.
Yes, there are some benefits to purchasing high-end products but I am here for the everyday girl. She’s the mom waiting in a carpool line or busy professional that has to travel. Both of the women listed have one thing in common, they want to look great!
That’s why I’m a huge fan of the Covergirl brand. Their company provides on-trend makeup and can be purchased at your local drugstore or supermarket. What does that mean? Customers can pick-up the latest lipstick shade while grabbing a carton of milk. I love it!
Recently, Zendaya shared a beauty tutorial on achieving a Custom Lip Cocktail. Anyone can create this face with Oh Sugar! In Caramel, Jumbo Gloss Balm in Caramel Cream, and Queen Collection Lip Gloss in Premier Pink. Click on the video below:

One of my favorite quotes is “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” by Eleanor Roosevelt. This quote is significant in terms of goal setting and personal achievement.
Attending a Jill Scott concert was a goal on my personal to-do list. Jill Scott is a soulful singer and her voice has a variety of range. As a song-writer, her lyrics go beyond the surface; addressing topics that are realistic to listeners.
I was gifted a set of tickets from my brother (and sister-in-law) to take part in her performance at the Amphitheater located in Tuscaloosa.

Jill Scott’s concert pushed beyond the limits of watching a songstress to viewing a “seasoned” artist/poet.
She gave us relationship advice and shared reflections from her own life. The concert was amazing and I encourage anyone who’s a fan of her music to purchase tickets from ticketmaster.com

I have been a fan of Black Opal Cosmetics for many years. To start, I like my foundation to match the exact color of my skin tone. I also seek to wear a foundation that provides moisture and full coverage.
Now that we’re in the winter months, it’s time to change my moisturizer, foundation, and primer. Black Opal has created True Color Perfecting Primer which has extra emollient ingredients to hydrate the skin and refine the appearance of pores.
Check back here in two weeks, I will be testing the beauty product and sharing on my Youtube channel.
