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.

I like succulents in my office environment. They are very low maintenance and add a nice splash of color in my beige cubicle.
As a lifelong desert dweller (Las Vegas) - I am loving all of the succulent love!
I'm loving the beautiful weather we are having and the ability to spend time outdoors with my family!
I am loving a new salad recipe I just made. Its called Southern BBQ coleslaw. It has carrots, cabbage, broccoli, onions and a yummy peanut butter dressing. Sounds weird but its good!
I love the unicorn nail polish!! So cute and sparkly.
Loving that Bosch new season starts today on Amazon Prime. The whole Unicorn thing coming back around after about 30 years is okay, I guess, but the succulent craze is long overdue!
I am loving the mini no fuss plants...I love plants but know nothing about taking care of them, so this is perfect for me!
Glitter is my favorite color so that unicorn nail polish is right up my alley!!! I can't wait to get some.
I love sparkle nail polish. That's why unicorn nail polish < Starbucks unicorn drink!
The mini gardens and homemade slime are great crafty projects that the kids can help out with.
I am loving the warmer weather! Has me in an earthy mood, let the gardening begin!
I am loving "Frankie & Grace" on Netflix.
Unicorn Polish - so cool and even goes w the new starbucks drink trend!
