My absolute favorite type of Easter candy is the Cadbury mini eggs. The eggs are small chocolate eggs with pastel-colored shells. The trademark dark purple bags appear in grocery stores around Easter time. They’re somewhat similar to M&Ms;, but the chocolate has a sweeter taste.
Each year, I can’t help but buy several bags of these eggs, giving myself the excuse that Easter (and the eggs) only comes around once a year. In any case, I am glad that Cadbury makes these eggs because I love them.
If you haven’t tried them, do it, and you’ll very likely find that you agree with me. I’d recommend not eating too many at once because of the sugar and fat content (I try not to think about that when I eat them, afterall, they’re only here once a year).
These eggs rate an obvious 5 stars for me.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 8

I have to say that this is one of the best tablets I have ever used. I understand that the price point may not be as low as that of some of it's competitors; however I find that the premium you pay is definitely worth it.
Here are couple of reasons I love this device:
Screen size: I find that 7" screens are too small and 10" screens are too big. This tablet is perfect for holding while reading in bed - it's not too big, too small or too heavy.
S-Pen: This is definitely one of the best additions to the tablet world. It is extremely sensitive, accurate and it has a lot of options that help while using your tablet.
Speed: This tablet has decent hardware and it's
fairly quick. I have yet to find an app or program that gets laggy.
Multitasking: Samsung is known for it's ability to open more than one app at the same time. When I say this I am not talking about apps running in the background. I am talking about apps running at the same time in split screen view.
Yes. The premium for the s-pen, the apps, and the multi window function are big. Huge. But man alive, this is the best mobile device I've ever used -- EVER!!

Fast food sushi? This place nails it. Sushi Shop is hands down the best fast food sushi chain I have eaten at.
At Sushi Shop, the sushi is very well made. Ingredients are fresh. Ratio of rice to filling is excellent and generous. Having a brown rice option is also a plus. I typically order items off of the menu but I've also had their premade to-go lunchboxes and they are just as excellent as the 'A la Carte' options.
Another great thing is that their soy sauce comes in a little dipping box, unlike the other places where the sauce is in a packet. The dipping box actually allows you to dip your sushi and makes the whole experience so much better.
This place probably has the freshest ingredients I've ever had in sushi. That being said, if you are a vegetarian, the options are quite limited. There's only one veggie lunch/dinner (depending on the time of day) combo, and there's nothing special like yam tempura or spicy rolls for vegetarians. The rolls that ARE in the combo (usually mixed veggie and avocado) are really fresh and tasty, but plain.
I find it to be a bit pricey but only a bit above average.
Overall, the sushi is very fresh and convenient. Variety is good for those who eat fish, and price is just slightly too high.

Take 2!! This was a product that had been originally recommended to me by a fellow curly girl. It's something that I started to use when I had decided to embrace my curls and not flat iron them which, in fact, was several years ago. Anyway long story short, I was excited to try it out again. I was, however, extremely disappointed. It seemed to have lost some of it's magic. It just wasn't what I remembered it to be. It didn't really get rid of my uncontrollable frizz and it didn't really seem to sculpt my curls all too well. As a matter of fact, it seemed to just clump and form a congealed mess on my head. If it helps, I do like the smell though. Overall, would I try it again? Definitely not. Would I recommend it to someone else? Most definitely not!! -
Maybelline New York Volum' Express The Falsies Flared Mascara

I wouldn't say this product necessarily "flares" out your lashes. You also can't really layer this product too much before it becomes super clumpy. When I put this mascara on, it seems to want to bind all of my lashes together. This product claims to greatly thicken AND extend your lashes in just 2-3 coats but by the time you get to the 2nd coat your lashes have become clumped masses of mascara. If you're lucky enough to put on just the right amount to avoid the "Tammy Faye Baker" look, it wears off in a matter of hours. Bottom line, too clumpy and lacks staying power...TERRIBLE!!! -

Frizz Ease is my go-to hair gel. It works great on my naturally curly, coarse and dry hair. This product is excellent - it keeps a good curl in and isn't affected by humidity. This product is the only thing that controls the frizz. My only criticism is the price. Because I have long hair I have to use quite a lot of it at once so it costs me a small fortune!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I absolutely adore my Galaxy Note 3. I upgraded from the Samsung S3 and only wish I had done it sooner. The 5.7 inch display is awesome and brings everything to life like never before. It allows you to view e-mails, Facebook and all other online content clearly. Prior to getting the Note 3, I was told that it was too large and cumbersome...definitely not the case for me. The S Pen has brought a whole new meaning to note taking. It let's you accomplish everyday tasks with the push of a button. The powerful 13-megapixel rear camera is a huge advancement and captures every detail to perfection. It's super fast and the battery life is incredible. No need for two devices...A phone and tablet...You can enjoy the convenience of both in one in the palm of your hand. No phone has ever compared. It blows away the previous generations of Notes...I can't wait to see how the Note 4 stacks up. Samsung ... You have finally made the PERFECT PHONE!!!! -
