It's finally starting to feel like Spring. Temperatures are rising. Flowers are blooming. And fun new trends are arriving.
Here's what you need to know about right now... everything from a sweet treat showcased at Coachella to a better way to make slime with your kids. Plus, enter our giveaway to win several of the items on the #SheSpeaksMusts List.
It's all the rage at Coachella and it's certain to come to a party near you. Get inspired by Sweet Combforts and make your own. Put a stick into a Belgian waffle and then drizzle on your favorite toppings, such as chocolate, sprinkles, candy, fruit or cookie crumbs. Delicious!
In Oprah Winfrey's first major film role in years, she stars in a fascinating HBO movie about a woman in Baltimore whose cells have been used as a vital component in the fight against diseases like cancer and AIDS, though she, or her family, were never told. The movie debuts on Saturday, April 22 at 8pm. We can't wait to watch.
Unicorns have inspired everything from toast to beauty. You can now get unicorn-themed make-up brushes, bath bombs, and nail polish. Our favorite is from Nail Inc., called: Sparkle Like a Unicorn Nail Polish Duo which is shimmery and festive. It immediately sold out on its website but is now available on Sephora.com (or in our giveaway below!)
We love planting flowers and vegetables outside this time of year. It adds color to our yard and we look forward to the fresh tomatoes we'll get to eat in August. But gardening can be a lot of work and not everyone has the space for it. Which is why we are excited about this new trend: mini-plants. Succulents are our favorite because they are cute, easy to care for and not expensive. We'll be buying several this season - they make the perfect presents for Mother's Day, as well as teacher or host gifts!
Slime has spread across the country's elementary and middle schools this year. The gooey fun is an easy DIY project for kids of all ages. Check out this SheSpeaksTV video in which SheSpeaks member Keri Lumm does a Pinterest test on making glitter slime that is safer for your kids, as long as they don't eat it. Or drop it on the couch.

Watched The Immortal Life movie over the weekend. I read the book when it first came out. Worth the read.
I'm loving all things unicorn, mermaid and rainbow! I am doing a rainbow pinata for my daughter's birthday!
Love the Unicorn nail colors! Glad nail polish trend this season is such pretty pastel shades
I'm loving the new Oahu Coconut Sunset cream from B&BW. It smells like a perfect beach day! They also have a Vanilla Coconut hand soap that I'm going to need to stock up on!
I am loving helping out a Boston Terrier Rescue group. We just had an amazing party the other day.
The Unicorn trend is what I am loving, I like to think it all started when I was 5 and I had that amazing Unicorn Piñata for my birthday! I'm now a famous trend maker :D lol
@shespeaks My favorite must have right now for spring is actually 2 beauty related products; Tarte Cosmetics Rainforest of the Sea Foundation and Sunday Riley Luna Night Oil & Good Genes leave on skin enhancer. I've been using many different Sunday Riley products off & on for almost 2 years now but Luna & Good Genes are extremely amazing, especially for spring so by the time summer comes, your skin will be in top top radiant shape. Also Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Foundation gives a nice buildable full coverage but is very lightweight on the skin with a gorgeous natural finish. My face always feels like it can breathe when I use this foundation.

I'm loving all these bright unicorn themed things lately!
I love the unicorn nail polish. It's so fun!
I am loving the unicorn nail polish. I love everything nails. I have my own mini shop at home.
This is the short time of year when the weather in Vegas is perfect.
I am loving innovative ice cream flavors like honey lavender and banana with a nutella swirl!
What a wonderful birthday I am having today. Thank you SheSpeaks for guiding me to this page. My mom and I love to craft together. Right now I am loving the unicorn trend and my mom and I have been trying to work on more unicorn crafts together.
I'm loving the look of the tunic peeking out of a shorter layer over skinny jeans.
