Want another excuse to buy all of that Easter candy when it goes on sale? Probably not, but I'm about to give you one anyway.

What's better than candy? Wine. What's better than wine? Eating it with candy. Nothing is better than eating something sweet with a glass of wine. Some eat cheesecake or mouse with their wine. Others, such as myself, are fine with a simple piece of chocolate. Regardless, if you're leaving your sweet tooth untreated with your favorite glass of wine, you're really missing out.

So, here is a list of everyone's favorite Easter candy and their perfectly matched wine companion:


1. Peeps and Prosecco


The grainy, sugary outside texture blends so, so well with almost any sparkling wine.

2. Chocolate Bunnies and Sweet Italian Red Wine

Classic, rich, creamy, and oh so good. Use a Lindt chocolate bunny for the ultimate pairing.

3. Jelly Beans and Dry White Wine

The sweet, juicy flavors of the Jelly Beans bring your dry whites to life. This one is a party pleaser and a fan favorite!

4. Cadbury Eggs and Chardonnay

The cream and caramel are a great contrast in texture and flavor to your favorite glass of chardonnay.

5. Snickers Eggs and Zinfandel

The flavor of the zinfandel really mellows out and sweetens the heartiness of the caramel and peanuts. It's a match made in heaven and just may surprise you.

6. Rice Crispy Treats and Chardonnay

I mean, can you ever really go wrong with a rice crispy treat?

7. Reese's Eggs and Pinot Noir

The thick, creamy peanut butter is the perfect sweet treat to offset the flavor of your favorite pinot noir wine.

8. Sour Patch Bunnies and Pinot Grigio

This sour then sweet treat is the perfect match to kick up that dry tasting Pinot Grigio. It's an unexpected match that will have your tastebuds begging for more.

9. Robin Eggs and Gamay

This delicate wine pairing is perfectly crafted to not be overbearing. The sweet, light Robin Eggs are still ensured to be your tastebuds main attraction.

10. Reese's Eggs and Cabernet

Yes, Reese's Eggs are on the list twice. Are you really gonna complain? I didn't think so. They're an Easter basket favorite for a reason. Pair this treat with a Cabernet, and see how well a red wine can pair with peanut butter and chocolate.


If you don't have any left over candy, or you don't feel like fighting the crowds for clearanced candy, just steal a piece or two out of your kid's (or little sibling's) basket. It'll be our little secret.

Enjoy!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
