Yesterday, my friends and I dressed up like eggs to look for eggs for a lil Easter egg hunt. It was pretty fun but maybe a little intense. We all were digging in both the sand and leaves for eggs, and even looking for footprint clues. I didn’t win, but all my Easter candy has kept me content. I’m currently obsessed with Jolly Rancher Gummies and Starburst Jellybeans, thank me later.

And speaking of chances for you to win, this next giveaway is a HUGE one…
