DIY Marbled Easter Eggs

Easter is just around the corner, which means it's time to do one of my favorite Easter activities- decorating Easter eggs! This year, I took a non-traditional approach to decorating eggs. Still sticking with Easter pastel colors, these marble patterned eggs are a fun update to the classic dyed Easter eggs. They are super easy to make and will have all of your Easter dinner guests in awe, guessing how you made them! Simply follow these steps....

Supplies:
- Hard-boiled eggs
- Nail Polish (I used pink, blue, teal and purple)
- Styrofoam bowls- one for each color
- Stirring Sticks- one for each color (I used chopsticks)
- Rubber gloves
Step 1. After boiling the eggs, fill a bowl with room temperature water. Take a bottle of nail polish and slowly poor a few drops of polish into the boil.

Step 2. Using a chopstick, stir the nail polish around to create a marbled design.
Step 3. Wearing the rubber gloves, carefully drop an egg into the bowl and turn it over a few times.
 Step 4. Remove the egg from the bowl and place it on a stand to dry. I made a stand out of a sheet of foam and straight pins (see below).
Repeat these steps, using a different bowl, and a different stirring stick for each color! Check out the pictures below to see the finished product and then go try it for yourself!

Spring Has Sprung!

Last week in NYC, we finally got a taste of spring! With mid-70 degree weather, I couldn't resist the chance to wear some new spring clothes.  An eyelet blouse (a trend I am loving right now!), sandals, and my favorite pink purse made for the perfect outfit to welcome the spring weather. I took a stroll through Bryant Park to take advantage of the warm, sunny day, as did many other New Yorkers! The park was packed with people dying to get a taste of the fresh spring air. I think it's safe to say that everyone is hoping this weather is here to stay!
