March 17th is finally here! Yes, one of my favorite holidays of the year is upon us and I'm getting ready to celebrate. I've been a bit behind on doing so - I usually dedicate this entire week to preparing for the big day, but I've been a bit of a slacker this year. That being said, I had to at least post something that honors the day and I figured I'd share some ideas on how to go green for St. Patrick's Day! If you're in the need of finding someway to incorporate the color into your outfit, or just the day in general, here are five ideas to get you started!

1. Avoid getting pinched - This is by far the easiest way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, and a must for anyone who is Irish or just loves the color green. You don't want to get pinched, right? Find anything, literally anything, that is green and wear it! For example, this cashmere scarf would be a lovely subtle accessory to your outfit.
2. Get crafty - If you're looking for a little D.I.Y. this year - look no further than your own supply drawer or craft table. From cake toppers, streamers or even clover crowns, you'll be sure to find something fun to put together on the 17th.
3. Find a recipe - Anybody remember the cupcakes I made last year?! You will have no trouble finding a similar recipe - like green popcorn or another version of a green cupcake!
4. Get your nails done - Make your nails pop with a hint of green! There's no need to go overboard, so keep it classic and clean like @camizzle did on Instagram.
5. Drink up - If you don't drink on St. Paddy's Day, are you really celebrating properly? From green beer, Jell-o shots or even green + gold margaritas, there is no shortage of any alcohol-related drinks to choose from.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! It might be a little late to pick out all of your four-leaf clovers from your Lucky Charms box when you read this, but I still wanted to share this luck-filled recipe that you could even try this weekend! I was trying to decide what would be the best thing to end my #weekofgreen series, and I instantly thought of baking something! I have always wanted to make something with cereal, so after researching online, I came up with these Lucky Charms cupcakes. You've probably seen this recipe around the internet, so these three places were where I found the inspiration to do them myself. They were so much fun to make, and I hope you have just as much fun seeing the results!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• (1) box of Betty Crocker™ SuperMoist™ yellow cake mix
• (1) cup of water
• (1/2) cup of vegetable oil
• (3) eggs
• (1) container of Pillsbury™ Creamy Supreme® Vanilla Flavored Frosting
• (3) cups of Lucky Charms™ cereal
• (24) cupcake liners in various rainbow colors
• Cupcake tin

DIRECTIONS

• Mini terracotta pot
• Black paint (I'm using fabric paint because it's all I had on hand.)
• Small painting brush
• Various colored markers
• Stapler
• Green construction paper
• Scissors
• Permanent black marker
• Newspaper
• Thin Mints
• Rolo candies
• Scotch tape

1. Take your small terracotta pot and paint it black with your small paintbrush. Make sure to paint over some newspaper so you don't get the black paint on a surface you wouldn't want it on. Try and use the same strokes on the pot so it looks smooth and not messy, since the paint dries so quickly. Like I said, I used a fabric paint and it dries in probably two minutes. Also, you can really use any pot you have on hand because you're painting it over with such a dark color.
2. While the pot is drying, take your green construction paper and draw your version of a rainbow. I liked using colors that were similar to each other, and had the most vibrancy on the paper. Take your scissors and cut around the black lines.
3. Take your scotch tape and apply two pieces to the bottom of the rainbow. Attach and press to the rim of one side of the pot. Try and angle it as much as you can, like the rainbow is literally inside the pot.
4. Fill the pot with Thin Mints and Rolo candies, which will act as the gold at the end of the rainbow. I put the Thin Mints at the bottom and stacked them to show more of the Rolo candies.
5. Take two Rolo candies and stick a piece of Scotch tape to the back. Attach the two Rolo candies to the bottom of the rain, and then you are finished!
