Spring is here and with it comes beautiful flowers all around! Today Alice wants to share with us some gardening tips so you can have a wonderful garden this season.

Alice loves taking care of her garden and drinking tea surrounded by lovely plants and colorful flowers, and now you can too! Today she will be planting a snapdragon, let’s take a look at her gardening tutorial:

First, take your favorite pot, Alice picked one in the shape of a tea cup in yellow! So adorable.
Then, place a bit of dirt in the bottom, about the height of a caterpillar.
Next, take your favorite flower and place it in the pot.
Finally, put more dirt in it and then water the plant with a few cups of water.

Easy right? Alice and Mad Hatter also answered some common gardening questions like:

What to do you if your plants turn a berry blue, burnt orange or most commonly a slightly canary yellow?

According to Alice, this could be a matter of too much light or it’s getting too hot in it’s current location. So you should move it away from the window or put it in a new place entirely. Usually a spot that doesn’t get as much sunlight.

What to do if my cat won’t leave my plants alone?

Alice suggest to put your plant high on a bookshelf near a window.

So there you go, we hope these tips were helpful and you can have a beautiful garden to take some tea just like Alice and Mad Hatter!

Unfortunately this year a social distanced meet & greet is all we get for Easter. We were hoping that Disney World would run the Easter Parade in the Magic Kingdom but due to COVID-19, it looks like it isn’t happening.

Here is a video of the full experience:

According to sources at ABC, the studio will be honoring the last actor with a 45-second tribute and will be dedicating his final episode to his memory.

Fans have eagerly awaited news about the confirmed ‘Friends’ Reunion special that will bring back the entire cast of the hit 90’s and early 2000’s sitcom series.

Lisa Kudrow, who plays Pheobe Buffay for the series shared earlier this year on the podcast Literally!…With Rob Lowe that she has already filmed a little something for the special, stating: “There’s different facets to it; some already-shot packages of things,” Kudrow shared. “I don’t know, fully. I really don’t, but I pre-shot something for it already, so we’re definitely doing it, because I already shot a little something.”

The Friends reunion special will premiere exclusively on HBO Max at a to-be-determined date, but you can watch all 236 episodes of Friends on HBO Max now! The Friends series starred: Jennifer Aniston (Rachel Green), Courtney Cox (Monica Geller-Bing), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay), Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing), Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribbiani), and David Schwimmer (Ross Geller).

Igloo has teamed up with Marvel, once more, and it’s an epic collab! The new Deadpool Igloo Cooler combines the hilarious humor of the character! Bold graphics that are sure to make a statement when you bring the chimichangas this summer!

Related: Disney x Igloo Coolers

This exciting collab celebrates 30 years of Deadpool! Inspired by the greatest (and mouthiest) mercenary and chimichanga aficionado within the Marvel Universe, the Deadpool Chimichanga Truck Playmate Pal is available now at igloocoolers.com/deadpool.

“We love teaming up with Marvel, and this Deadpool Playmate collaboration was as fun as ever.” said Brian Garofalow, Chief Marketing Officer at Igloo. “We were able to perfectly capture Deadpool’s hilariousness and chimichanga obsession all in one super creative Playmate design. It’s especially exciting to release this fun cooler during Deadpool’s 30th anniversary for fans to chill their refreshments on their next outing or keep as a collector’s item.”

Igloo creatively designed the Deadpool Chimichanga Truck Playmate Pal to look just like the food trucks we all know and love! Obviously, with a focus on chimichangas. Which is the deep-fried burrito that Marvel’s antihero amusingly has a constant, deep fascination with. This original Playmate features a yellow base and matching custom artwork on the tent top. This includes Deadpool at the serving window. There is also a menu, and comical callouts, like “organic-ish ingredients”, incorporated throughout. Which is another callback to the sarcastic character also known as The Merc With the Mouth.

The all-new, special-edition Deadpool Igloo Cooler retails for $39.99. It has capacity for up to nine 12-ounce cans , and is available now, while supplies last.

Find out how Disney Celebrates Earth Month all year around

For April, Disney is highlighting the importance of Earth Month to help continue the legacy of preserving nature around the world for generations to come. The Walt Disney Company’s culture of conservation and environmental stewardship dates back to Walt Disney himself.

“Conservation isn’t just the business of a few people – it’s a matter that concerns all of us.”
-Walt Disney

So for this month, Disney hopes to take you on a journey across their global parks to experience uniquely Disney environmental initiatives.

Disney-owned and operated sites are working to reduce single-use plastics and to harness the power of the sun. Such efforts will reduce tens of thousands of tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year. They’re also providing guests with hundreds of plant-based dining options and sustainable seafood choices. By offering more sustainable products and packaging, Disney is renewing a commitment to ongoing environmental stewardship.

Also, stay tuned for updates in April. Disney will be sharing delicious, environmentally friendly recipes, a sustainable gift guide and much more.

Recently Governor Ron DeSantis signed an Executive Order Banning Vaccine Passports in the State of Florida.

Today I issued an executive order prohibiting the use of so-called COVID-19 vaccine passports. The Legislature is working on making permanent these protections for Floridians and I look forward to signing them into law soon.

Florida Governor DeSantis Signs an Executive Order Banning Vaccine Passports

“No Florida government entity, or its subdivisions, agents, or assigns, shall be permitted to issue vaccine passports, vaccine passes, or other standardized documentation for the purpose of certifying an individual’s COVID-19 vaccination status to a third party, or otherwise publish or share any individual’s COVID-19 vaccination record or similar health information,” the order states.

The order also says “requiring so-called COVID-19 vaccine passports for taking part in everyday life — such as attending a sporting event, patronizing a restaurant, or going to a movie theater — would create two classes of citizens based on vaccination.”
