Prince William and Kate Middleton Wedding Planner

Prince William and Kate Middleton Wedding Planner
Where to watch and where to party: Your very own Wills and Kate wedding planner
With an estimated 1.5 million Royal Wedding watchers expected to converge on London on Friday, not everyone will be able to find a space along the route.
The best spots will fill by dawn, or even the night before – thousands of people are due to camp out. Good vantage points include the steps under the Duke of York Column in Carlton House Terrace and the pavements by Admiralty Arch.
Much of the crowd is expected to head instead for Hyde Park and Trafalgar Square, where giant screens will show live coverage of the ceremony. A 196ft-high ‘London Eye-style’ observation wheel has been erected in the park, which can be ridden from 7am on the day.
Both venues promise a carnival atmosphere, with food and drinks stalls, including licensed bars, to keep the ‘extended wedding guests’ refreshed.
Other places where big screens will be erected include Clapham Common, which is turning into a campsite the night before, Southbank Centre Square and Battersea High Street, where there will be a huge street party with food stalls.

Coloring Easter eggs

Coloring Easter eggs naturally
As a kid, Easter meant dyed eggs and candy way before it meant anything religious, and with a new niece around, I've decided to revive the old tradition that my sister and I had of coloring eggs for Easter.

But with concerns about food coloring potentially causing hyperactivity in kids, even though the Food and Drug Administration considers it unlikely, I've browsed stores looking for natural egg dyeing kits to no avail.

My fascination with delicious but hand-staining beets, which are actually used as coloring in juices for instance, and my tendency to spill coffee every time I'm wearing white, reminded me that there are plenty of colorful, naturally-occurring substances that can dye an egg.

Miranda's Blooming! Kerr shows off her jaw-dropping curves in plunging dress
She only gave birth three months ago, but Miranda Kerr’s jaw-dropping figure grabbed more attention than her husband’s film during its premiere last night.
The Victoria’s Secret model accompanied Orlando Bloom to the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City for the premiere of The Good Doctor.
But instead of Orlando impressing with his acting skills, Miranda stole the limelight in a low-cut black dress, which put her assets on full display.
