How to Make Easter Eggs Even Hipsters Will Think Are Cool

Easter is a day to look your Sunday best. Bust out your fancy hat, your pretty dresses and throw on some high heels. And guys, you better perfectly coif your hair and prune that mustache. Here at Brit + Co we’re in the swing of Easter decorating, and we’ve got a bunch of egg tutorials to share with you. For today’s easy egg idea we’re going to show you how to make your eggs dapper with ‘staches. We’ve even got a printable for you.

Materials:


1. Print your Brit + Co mustache printable.

2. Cut out the mustaches using your xacto knife.

3. Color your mustaches using various pens.

4. Draw a face on your egg leaving room for the ‘stache.

5. Adhere the mustache to your egg with Scotch® Double-Sided Tape.

We’ve got so many mustaches for you to choose from! Love a good handlebar? Or maybe a dirty ‘stache? We’ve got them all on our printable.

Cut your mustaches with an xacto knife. Alternatively, a small pair of sewing scissors will help you wind your way around the curvy hairs. We know, mustaches aren’t usually pink, but it’s a holiday and your egg wants to look good and fashion forward, so give him a break and get creative with your colors. Secure your mustache to the egg using Scotch® Double-Sided Tape. A glue stick will work too.

Here’s where you can get really creative. Draw faces on your eggs making sure to leave a gap for the mustache. We made a scuba diver, a hipster, Uncle Penny Bags, a hilarious little guy with Weird Al locks and a pirate eye patch, and a few others. Have fun with it.

Presenting the Brit + Co Team Mustache!

They’ve been working on a band name. The top three are: “The Eda Bills,” “Yolk’s On You,” and “The Uncrackables.”

Can you believe that there is actually a whole holiday dedicated to eating as many beignets, King Cakes, and loaves of rainbow bread as you want?! Mardi Gras, we love you, but our bodies are glad you’re just a one-day holiday and not a week long ;) Inspired by the beautiful rainbow bagels made by the Bagel Store, this loaf also has some purple, gold and green hues to amp up the Mardi Gras spirit. Hand letter your own printable bread wrap to give it as a gift, or slice it up and top it with cream cheese and sprinkles. This recipe will yield three loaves of bread, but you may want to make more, because once it’s adorned with sprinkles, this fairy bread will have everyone coming back for more.

Ingredients:

  • 10 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 3 packets rapid rise yeast
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • purple, yellow and green food coloring (we used a mix of McCormick neon and assorted food coloring)
  • plastic wrap
  • dish towel
  • printable bread label

Instructions:

  1. Mix one cup of flour, one tablespoon of sugar, one teaspoon of salt and one packet of rapid rise yeast in a mixing bowl.
  2. In a microwaveable bowl, mix 3/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of milk, one Tablespoon of butter and about 10 drops of food coloring. Microwave on high for 45 seconds.
  3. Pour liquid mixture into the dry mixture and mix throughly. Once mixed, slowly add another 2 1/2 cups of flour.
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 for each color of dye.
  5. Rip apart the colorful dough into small pellets and twist together to form a rainbow marbled effect.
  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and a dish towel and let it rise for one hour.
  7. Cut the risen dough into three equal loaves, place into greased pans and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.

This bread will yield three loaves of Mardi Gras goodness, so make sure you have enough of all the ingredients. Grab a mixing bowl and mix 1/3 of the dry ingredients together — one cup flour, one Tablespoon of sugar, one teaspoon of salt and one packet of yeast.

Grab a microwaveable bowl and mix 1/3 of the wet ingredients together — 3/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of milk, one Tablespoon of butter and about 10 drops of food coloring. Microwave for 45 seconds on high.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Let’s also just call attention to that awesome purple color :)

Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, and then start slowly adding in another two and a half cups of flour. Mix it all the way until it forms one huge ball of dough.

Repeat the first set of steps for each color. Each will yield one loaf but we will be mixing the colors together to form rainbow magicalness.

Last but not least — the green! Don’t be afraid to try other colors. This is a great recipe to create any holiday loaf. (Don’t be surprised if we do it for Fourth of July too!)

Once you have all three loaves, pull apart each color into little pellets. Layer the colors when you put them in the bowl to get maximum color variation.

Use your hands to give this mega loaf a good couple of twists.

Cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel and let the dough rise for at least one hour.

Divide your loaf into three sections and place into a greased pan. If you don’t have a loaf pan, you can totally make a rounded loaf in a cake pan or on top of a cookie sheet. Bake for 30 mins at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Wait for the bread to cool and then slice into magical rainbow bread.

If you’re nice enough to gift one of these loaves, we suggest printing out a bread wrap printable and hand-lettering a fun saying. Tie up with some baker’s twine or embroidery floss.

Sadly, there is no baby inside of this sweet dessert. But hey, we’re totally all for you continuing the King Cake tradition and adding the little trinket into your sweet loaves. Just remember to warn your guests ;)

Add sprinkles and enjoy!

Trader Joe’s just keeps the beauty products coming – and the latest find reminds me exactly of a very popular lip mask that sells for 3 times more (looking at you, Laneige). If you love all things related tolip care, you’re gonna want to see this brand-new Trader Joe’s beauty counter find! It also makes the perfect Valentine’s Day gift to yourself or your bestie.

Scroll on to discover the $8 Trader Joe’s find that doubles as a Laneige dupe!

Trader Joe's

Trader Joe’s just dropped the Chocolate Berry Lip Mask Duo, a 2-pack of their lip mask formula, which boasts a “thick, luxurious texture” and a “soothing feel.” It’s crafted with shea butter, coconut oil, and vitamin C to hydrate and nourish the lips. The duo comes complete with a chocolate scent and a berry scent. The respective formulas are not tinted, but instead leave a “clear shine” after application.

@trader_joes_treasure_hunt

Plus, the packaging for the Chocolate Berry Lip Mask Duo is just too cute! The box features a red background dotted with pink and brown illustrations of flowers, hearts, and bows – all ideal for celebrating Valentine’s Day!

I will definitely be gifting it to myself for the occasion (I say as my 50+ other lip products glare at me).

Amazon

I immediately clocked the Trader Joe’s Chocolate Berry Lip Mask Duo as a dupe for the ever-popular Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, which has gained quite the cult following over the past couple of years.

The berry scent in the TJ’s version reminded me exactly of the berry scent that sent the Laneige version into viral status. The pots look super similar, plus both formulas are made with shea butter at the forefront!

Trader Joe’s urges their customers to use their Lip Mask Duo overnight to, in their words, “soften your smackers while you sleep,” which is the exact intention of the Laneige lip mask, too.

Amazon

While you can shop the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask for $24 (0.7 ounces of product), the two pots from TJ’s cost just $8 (0.7 ounces of product each).

That means a single pot of the Trader Joe’s lip mask is just $4 – a mere sixth of the more expensive version.

Trader Joe's

Trader Joe’s also sells a single pot of their Vanilla Lip Mask for $6.

@traderjoesobsessed

The chain also released a Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm dupe late last year, the Lip Butter Balm Duo, for just $7.

While in America we may toast to the new year with Champagne and eat black-eyed peas for good luck, those who celebrate the Lunar New Year have a host of food traditions that symbolize wealth, health, and family unity. At a Lunar New Year celebration dinner at Hakkasan in San Francisco hosted by Tiger Beer, we learned about the eight items that have been served each year on the Lunar Near Year for centuries. Why eight? In Chinese, the number eight (huat), translates to “get wealthy.”

Scroll to see the 8 lucky Lunar New Year foods you should eat this year!

China Sichuan Food

1. Dumplings

Steamed dumplings are shaped like the ancient Chinese gold currency, called ingot, and represent wealth. According to legend, the number of dumplings you eat during the new year corresponds to the amount of money you’ll make that year. That’s reason enough to eat an extra dumpling (or five). (via China Sichuan Food)

The Woks of Life

2. Whole Steamed Fish

Yu means both fish and prosperity in Chinese. Dining on a whole fish during the Lunar New Year embodies family unity. (via The Woks of Life)

Woks of Life

3. Longevity Noodles

Here’s your reason to slurp noodles and not break them — the longer the noodles, the longer the life of the person who consumes them, legend has it. If you can, splurge on Longevity Noodles, a large portion of noodles that contains just one long strand that is not cut, which is why it tends to be on the pricier side. (via Woks of Life)

The Hong Kong Cookery

4. Rice

The stickiness of steamed jasmine rice is another symbol of a family “sticking” together. Some families celebrate with an “Eight Treasures Rice Pudding,” a stunning rice dessert that stars glutinous rice and eight toppings: candied lotus, green raisins, pine nuts, black raisins, dried dates, dried wolfberries, dried apricots, and red maraschino cherries (for luck!). (viaThe Hong Kong Cookery)

Dumpling Sisters

5. Garlic

The word for garlic in Chinese is suan, which translates to “counting.” Tradition has it that those who celebrate the Lunar New Year eat lots of garlic to count all of the money they will make in the new year. It’s found in almost every dish, including stir-fried prawns. (via Dumpling Sisters)

The Woks of Life

6. Red Foods

Red is the prominent color used in the Lunar New Year and is found in the decor, food, and most notably, the red envelopes filled with money gifted to loved ones during this time. The color red is associated with good luck, fortune, and joy. A table during the Lunar New Year will be filled with red foods like crab, peking duck, shrimp, barbecue pork, and more. (via The Woks of Life)

Chinese Healthy Cooking

7. Glutinous Rice Balls

Dinner ends with sweet, round glutinous rice balls filled with red bean paste. The round shape supposedly indicates a smooth year ahead, family reunion, and good luck! (via Chinese Healthy Cooking)

8. Mandarin Oranges

The official fruit of the new year, mandarin oranges, ju in Chinese, sounds like the word for lucky, ji. They are abundantly gifted throughout the New Year celebration.
