DIRECTIONS TO MAKE WREATH

Take the foam ring and tape the burlap onto the back of the ring.  Then wrap the burlap all around the ring to the end and tape.  Next, tie the ribbon onto the ring and wrap all the way around the ring.  Next, add the two big flowers onto the side of the wreath by clipping them onto the ribbon.

Next, add in the smaller flowers and bunnies by tucking them into the ribbon. 

The felt Easter eggs have peel backs that you can just stick onto the wreath.

This is what the wreath looked like when I was finished decorating it.  This wreath is so easy to make and can be made in minutes.  The best part is there is no hot glue gun needed! 

Spring/Easter Craft Wreath

1)  What 3 Things are on your Spring Bucket List?

1)  Spring Shopping.  I started my spring shopping recently by buying flip flops.  To me, that screams spring/summer.  Some of you might have recognized this photo of the flip flops from my Instagram @brklynhousewife. 




2)  Gardening.  I plant flowers in my yard and garden every Spring.

  

3)  Spring cleaning our basement.  We need to organize one section in our basement that is filled with boxes, books, and a lot other items.  We both have been putting off this project for quite a while.



2)  Spring cleaning, Spring forward, or Spring Break.  Which is your favorite and why?

My favorite is Spring Break!



I love spring break and taking spring vacations.  This photo was taken when we took a family vacation to California a few years ago to visit our friend.  It's fun to travel on spring break to visit someplace warm and I enjoy going to the beach to relax.



3)  What 3 dishes will be on your Easter menu?

We usually spend Easter with my husband's aunt and cousins.  We always have a big feast that consists of a beef roast, honey baked ham, and vegetables.  My husband's aunt always serves her homemade Pizza Rustica Meat Pie and Spaghetti Pie.

1)  Pizza Rustica Meat Pie



I was lucky to be given the recipe to make Spaghetti pie by a different aunt.  Here is the recipe to make Spaghetti Pie.

2)  Spaghetti Pie



For dessert, we always have fruit, cake, cookies, pastries, coffee, and espresso.  I always bring assorted desserts for this Easter celebration.

One year we made and decorated cupcakes with pastel frosting and added peeps on top of the cupcakes.  We will make something fun like that again this year to bring for Easter dessert.

3)  Dessert - Cupcakes with Peeps

1.   Sephora MicroSmooth Backed Foundation Face Powder



I really like this powder foundation and I was turned on to this by a sales associate at the Sephora store.  I was looking for the powder foundation that I usually use and they didn't have it available in my shade.  The sales associate was so nice and talked to me about this powder foundation.  I tried two different shades on my face and we both agreed that we liked this shade on me, which is (15 Nude).

The only thing I don't like about this foundation is there is no powder sponge that comes with the compact.  The coverage is great and I only use this on my face and not under my eyes.


2.  Sephora Matte Perfection Powder Foundation



I love this powder foundation and this is the one that I usually use.  This is the perfect shade for me which is (08 Fair Neutral).  You can see in the photo above how much I love this powder foundation!  I am almost finished with it.

I tried to buy this compact in two different stores as I was starting to run low on it.  Sephora didn't have my shade, so I decided at that point to buy it online in the store.  This way I received free shipping.  You usually have to spend $50 before you receive free shipping.  This is one of the reasons why I LOVE Sephora and the sales associates.

This compact has a mirror and under the foundation is a compartment that holds the sponge.  I also like that I can get a lot of points when I buy the makeup to get free products.  I always choose a makeup item and not a cream because this is a great way to try out makeup that I've never used before.  P.S.  I hope that they don't discontinue this product in the color I like!



3.  NYX Retractable Lip Liner



I love this peach shade of lip liner and this color is MPL02 Nectar.  The lip liner is easy to apply and it looks great with my lipstick that I usually wear.  I really love the price of these lip liners and they range between $2.50 - $5.00.



4.  NYX Retractable Eye Liner



I really like this eyeliner and I've been using blue eyeliner lately.  It seems to make my eyes pop open and it has a softer look than the dark brown and black eyeliner that I also wear.  This eyeliner stays on my eyelids really well and it doesn't wear off like some eyeliners do after time.  This eyeliner color is Gypsy Blue and costs about $5.50.


5.  Sephora Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner



This is another blue eyeliner that I love using and the color of this is (17 Turquoise - shimmering bright aqua).  This is waterproof eyeliner and it stays on really well throughout the day for me.  The price of this is about $12.00.  This is a light blue eyeliner that looks good with black mascara and I don't need to wear any eyeshadow for the daytime.



I hope this post has given you some makeup ideas.  Have a Happy Friday and weekend.  :)
