Hi Friends,

No plain, white eggs this season! Create the most eye-catching Easter eggs with these vivid color and pattern ideas. Keep in mind: Price and stock could change after publish date, and we may make money from these links.

One of my favorite Easter traditions is dyeing eggs with my kids. In the past, I've opted for mixing food coloring in water and vinegar to make fun, bright hues. We also love to leave our eggs in the dye for 30 minutes to an hour to create uber-saturated eggs.

This year, as we search for ways to entertain our kiddos at home, while still creating wonderful memories, I'm looking for different ways to spice up our beloved tradition. Keep scrolling to discover these creative and clever egg decorating ideas that can all be delivered right to your door.

1st Day of Spring!

Courtesy of Allison Norton

Hi Friends,

Spring is the most hopeful season of the year. Along with the warmer days and budding blooms that symbolize spring also come the hopes of dining outdoors, and the exciting feeling of trying new activities. Be an advocate of making seasonal to-do lists in order to keep life interesting. Here are a few ideas that will have you ready to embrace any adventure that comes your way before Labor Day. Without further ado, here are 10 Spring adventures that should go on your Spring bucket list…

10 Things to Try This Spring

1. Go to an outdoor music festival.
In the past few years, I have come to associate the month of April with Coachella. If you have never been, there is no better time to go than now (the lineup this year is amazing!). And if you’ve been before…do I even have to convince you? For those of you who don’t live in Southern California, be sure to look into Mile High Music Festival, Outside Lands, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo, which are all in the summer.

2. Go on an impulsive weekend road trip.
The best kinds of road trips are the ones that happen in a spur of the moment decision. Pick a place you have always wanted to visit (I’m dying to go to Big Sur), grab your best friend or boyfriend, and just make it happen. Be sure to bring a cool camera to take snapshots along the way.

3. Create a cozy patio set up for springtime entertaining.
My apartment has a darling little back patio that is just begging to be used for an al fresco dinner party. This spring, I vow to add outdoor furniture, twinkle lights, and potted succulents to make the space inviting and useful. If you have a patio, I encourage you to do the same!

4. Springify your closet.
There’s nothing like a bit of spring-cleaning to help get you excited for new warm-weather wardrobe staples. Donate items you haven’t worn in a while, and reorganize the clothing and accessories you plan to keep for a fresh perspective. It will give you a good idea of what to add to add to your spring shopping list.

5. Hike to the highest spot in town.
Los Angeles has some pretty amazing hiking spots that are especially enjoyable on a gorgeous spring day. This season, take advantage of getting a good workout and enjoying the view by hiking to the highest spot in your town. You might even see your city in a whole new light.

6. Volunteer once a week.
Volunteering once a week this spring (and beyond!) is so rewarding, and it will enrich your life. I highly recommend researching a food bank, soup kitchen, or inner city school closest to you and lending a hand. It doesn’t even need to be once a week—even going once a month will make a difference, and it will make you feel good in return.

7. Learn how to nurture.
Practice cultivating something this spring… Whether that means planting an herb garden, bringing home your first goldfish, or buying a puppy, learning to take care of something else will give you a broadened outlook on life.

8. Learn how to bake a pie.
I’ve always wanted to learn how to bake a pie from scratch, and this season I’ve decided to make it happen. Bake a pie with seasonal spring fruits like rhubarb, strawberries, or cherries.

9. Add a flea market addition to your home.
While you may be quite familiar with the flea markets in your area, a vintage splurge might not happen every time you make the trip. Promise yourself one special purchase at your local flea market that you will love in your home. It will refresh your décor for the changing seasons and get you excited about adding more new pieces in the future.

10. Add a few sun kissed strands to your hair.
In my opinion, one of the best parts about spring is that it leads into summer! Get your tresses beach-ready by adding in a few highlights. If your hair is chestnut brown, throw some golden strands into the mix. If you’re a redhead, try a bit of strawberry blonde. And if you have golden locks, bright blonde is the way to go.

These are just a few ideas to get your started, compliments of Allison Norton but if you might also be inspired by Malavika Suresh with Spring Inspiration.

Spring Inspiration: Things to do this spring...

1. Go on a detox/cleanse.

2. Spring clean your home.

3. Have a yard sale (or an e-bay sale) to get rid of what you don’t need anymore.

4. Rearrange the furniture in your home. Feng Shui up your life and bring in a newer and fresher energy.

5. Have fresh flowers in your home.

6. Take care of your legs (it’s time to get those bad boys out!) and toes. Get pedicures and manicures often.

7. Update your Spring/Summer wardrobe.

8. Learn some new hairstyles.

9. Detail your car.

10. Start a brand new project.

11. Plan a summer trip.

12. Start a reading list.

13. Get a new hair style.

14. Take more walks in beautiful places.

15. Ride your bicycle.

16. Have a picnic.

17. Start running again.

18. Drink more water.

19. Wear lighter colours.

20. Start an outdoor hobby.

Both list are great, but whatever you decide to do this Spring have fun with family and friends...

The Prettiest Easter Decor Under $50 to Leave Out Through Spring

Courtesy of Chelsey Bowen

Hi Friends,

Embrace the new season with charming decor that celebrates Easter in a chic, not cheesy, way.

Keep in mind: Price and stock could change after publish date, and they may make money from these links.

Easter is one of the seasons I really enjoy. It has all the hallmarks of a great holiday — amazing food, fun traditions, time with family — but it doesn't come with all the pressure that end-of-the-year holidays have. Plus, by the time Easter rolls around, I've had some time to hunker down and recoup from the Halloween-Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year's madness. Come April, I'm ready to enjoy the world (and my family) once again.

When it comes to decorating, Easter is such a refresh for my home, banishing the dreary winter days and filling my space with bright happy colors. With the official start of spring kicking off on March 20th and Easter just a few short weeks after on April 17th, I'm ready to energize my home, indoors and out, with these oh-so-cheerful buys under $50 — most of which can be enjoyed all spring long.

Pressed Floral Platter
$29.95 Crate & Barrel

Serve up favorite Easter appetizers on this lovely terracotta platter. Delicate flowers were pressed gently into the clay to leave behind intricate impressions and unearth the terracotta shade under the reactive white glaze finish.

BUY IT

Cool Egg Filler
$12 Target

Upgrade your plastic Easter egg decorations with these chic coiled eggs. The decorative fillers are perfect for adding spring color to pretty baskets and bowls or alongside your table's centerpiece.

BUY IT

Wood Bunnies
$19.95-$39.95 Crate & Barrel

Spring is in the air, and we're ready for mornings filled with sunshine and tiny rabbits searching for a patch of clover. Minimal and Scandinavian, these mango wood bunnies are softened by a whitewashed finish.

BUY IT

Iron Bunnies
$29.50 - $39.50 Pottery Barn

These refined rabbit accents look way more expensive than they are. The bunnies come in four different positions and are crafted from smoky cement with a painted vintage finish. Snag the whole set to create a charming table vignette, or buy one bunny to use as a striking solo accent.

BUY IT

Ribbed Taper Candles
$4.99 (Set of 2) World Market

How lovely and on-trend are these ribbed pastel candles?! We're imagining them on a minimalist table set in speckled ceramic candlesticks.

BUY IT

Easter is just around the corner, get a head start. Enjoy!
