Easter Gift Guide

Spring is here! (In Florida, at least) and it's time to celebrate. With Easter on the horizon, I am happy to share this list of the best gifts and entertaining options.

Mackenzie Limited

With delectable treats like Petit Fours, Cake Truffles, and decorated Sugar Cookies, Mackenzie Limited has everything you could want to fill your Easter Baskets. Their delicious baked goods are also perfect for entertaining, like the beautiful and indulgent Easter Basket Cake. Moist yellow cake with rich buttercream, beautifully decorated to be the perfect centerpiece to any Easter gathering.

Number 4

My favorite basket stuffers are ones that are both fun and practical. Number 4 Hair Care has that taken care of. With their premium hair and body care items. Not only will they ensure you put your best foot (or head of hair) forward at all your Easter festivities, but the convenient travel-sized bundles - like Glow and Grow Set - are the perfect size for Easter baskets. They also have full sized sets, like the Fleurs De Temps Body Care Set.


Red Chocolate

Chocolate is a must for any Easter Basket. But what f you are trying to cut down on sugar? Well, Red Chocolate has the solution. Their decadent chocolates have al the flavor with none of the (added) sugar. That's right, NO SUGAR ADDED. These lower calorie chocolates are almost too good to be true. But thankfully they are real and can grace an Easter basket near you! The single serve Grab N Go Bars are especially perfect for Easter Baskets.

Chef Life

For us, Easter is actually one of the 'biggest' holidays of the year. We have a yearly family gathering that tops even Christmas in terms of entertaining. Therefore, a lot of cooking is involved. It's a feast, really. Because of that, cooking essentials are always required to pull of Easter properly. Chef Life has a fabulous Cooking Oil Trio Gift Pack. From drizzling to sizzling and everything in between, the Trio Gift Pack includes our Cooking Oil for high heat cooking, frying, sautéing, or baking, Blending Oil for marinades, dressings, aioli’s, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil for finishing dishes.

Nadine West - March

It is time again to check out the fabulous little pink package that is my monthly Nadine West shipment. This is always a high point of my month. Each package contains, tops, bottoms, a dress, and jewelry to compliment the outfit. Without further ado, lets see what beauty this package holds.

First up is this lovely floral peek-shoulder top. Jut perfect for spring. The bolder red of the shirt is a nice deviance from the standard spring pastels, while still capturing the whimsy of the season. As always, the fabric is so soft it should be illegal and it's lightweight enough to survive the sweltering temps of Florida.

The second top is timeless. The classic, but anything but boring black top is the best of casual and cute. It can be dressed up or down to compliment almost any slacks, jeans, shorts or skirt you own. I love the length, I always love a long shirt.


Next we have this fun dress. It is casual, of course, but it is just perfect for spring when sundresses are the hot ticket. I love the deep color (though it is difficult to get a good photo on my choice of background.) I don't fare well with light colors, as they are less forgiving. Best of all, like basically every Nadine West dress I've received so far, it has pockets!

Now to my favorite, the bottoms. Here we have a sinfully comfortable pair of cropped pant - or capris. They feel lie lounge pants, but are infinitely more fashionable. The tie detail on the leg is just enough to give them a little flair, and black goes with everything. Plus, pockets! These are a winner.


Now for the part I always love most: Jeans! I don't know why, because I love the comfort of buttery soft pants more than almost anyone, but I am a huge sucker for a distressed jean. The dark wash is superb and the great thing about Nadine West jeans is the stretch waist. No zippers or buttons to worry about. They hug your form well without being too tight. Just awesome. 

But the fun doesn't stop there; we still have the jewelry. This time it is a simple yet elegant gold link chain. This basic piece is beyond versatile. It will compliment everything.


If my awesome package wasn't enough to convince you, I encourage you to try Nadine West for yourself. Plus, right now you can get $25 off your first full box. Savings on top of savings on top of convenience.
