Alternative Easter Eggs

We're here to help you decorate for the holidays... The Easter holiday, that is! Growing up, my family always customized our eggs the "standard" way with dye kits we picked up from the grocery store. These memories, however fond, became a tad bit monotonous, particularly as I matured into an invincible teenager. I recently stumbled across these alternative ways to decorate your Easter eggs and fell in love with the creativity! Check out these ideas from other blogs and websites and get crackin'!

Spring Break Essentials

Spring Break is upon us! I have always loved this time of year: the warmth, the growth, the anticipation for school to end and summer to begin! Growing up, my family always had a blast in this designated week of March or April. Some years we went to Mexico, some years we went to the sand dunes, some years we went snowboarding, some days we stayed home and had movie marathons! Spring Break comes with so many possibilities, and we want you to be as prepared as possible. Follow these guides for the best week ever-- no matter what you end up doing!

A Photoshoot: Never Land Tees

We are stoked about our newest product: the Never Land Tee! Inspired by Mr. Pan himself, these tops come in a variety of colors and patterns, all sporting a delicate and feminine collar. It's the perfect pair to go along with one of our skirts or your favorite pair of jeans. This photo session was an absolute blast, and we loved mixing the new tops with some of our old favorites!

A Recipe: Peanut Butter Popcorn

Read this post with caution. I am COMPLETELY addicted to this treat-- partly because it's half salty, half sweet, and so easy! It's perfect for a quick after school snack for the kids or as finger food for a house party.

| Ingredients |

1/2 c peanut butter

1/4 c butter

1/2 c brown sugar

1 bag of popcorn

| Directions |

1. Melt the peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. 

2. Stir well; make sure that it is not too grainy because of the brown sugar. 

3. Pop the popcorn. 

4. Once it is ready, combine both in a big bowl and stir so the popcorn is evenly coated. 

That's all there is to it! ENJOY!

Humans amaze me. Think about it: out of the seven billion people in this world, we all differ. No one person is the same. Regardless of the similarities in our genetic makeup-- two eyes, two ears, two arms, two legs-- we all look completely different. And then we consider the emotional and mental differences. The variety of personalities, preferences, and peeves contribute to create a completely unique and perfectly imperfect person. That person is you.

We want to hear when you are your best self. Is it when you exceed your running goal and your muscles are tense with exhaustion and excitement? Is it when you look at yourself in the mirror after showering, when you are perfectly clean and completely raw? Or is it when you watch your loved ones accomplish something that is of great importance to them? Let us know. Here are some responses we have received so far...

"You know those people that just sparkle? Their eyes light up and when you are around them, you feel good about yourself and you want to do the same for others? Yup-- THAT is when I feel my "best self"-- when I can uplift and inspire others to SHINE! We are all meant to!"

"I feel best when I am surrounded by people that motivate me. I love knowing that I serve a purpose."

"What makes me my best self is helping others become their best self. Whether thats by inspiring them or doing service for them, etc. I enjoy making others love themselves just as much they should and helping them see their own potential. Thats when I find myself molding into the best ME."

"I am my best self when I am around those who believe in me and love me for me. When I am in that type of positive environment, I find myself being motivated to act selflessly and putting my best self forward."

Snap a selfie. Use our hashtag. Allow yourself to love yourself. And let us know why.
