                                                           Let's Go Spartans!!!

We love our Michigan State Spartans here at Kellie's. We are so very happy and proud that the men's basketball team made it to the Final Four today!!! They beat the Louisville Cardinals in the finals of the east regional of the 2015 NCAA Tournament at Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York. The MSU Spartans won 76-70. We will be sure to keep cheering them on as they face Duke's Blue Devil's on April 4th at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana at 6:09pm.

Make sure to stop by Kellie's and to get some Spartan gear for the big game! And as always, GO GREEN!!!

                                                                         1. The Classic Denim Jacket 
Definitely an item to invest in - this classic staple can be worn with almost anything and is perfect to "just throw on." Trust me, this will be the jacket you reach for the most. 

2. The Kimono Jacket
These were very popular last spring/summer and the trend will contnue to stick around for this year as well. It is light and flowy enough to also just throw on, but the look of it also allows it to dress up an outfit. 

3. The Lightweight Parka Jacket 
This versatile jacket is perfect for spring weather. It is lightweight and pairs well with classic blue jeans and sandals or sneakers. 

4. The Moto Jacket 
If you're looking for something a little more edgy, then the moto jacket is right for you. Layer this jacket with a simple tank or tee, your favorite pair of skinny jeans, and you are ready to rock your day.

5. The Trench Coat
Who doesn't love a classic trench? This wardrobe is a staple for any closet and can help dress up any outfit. This classy coat will never go out of style.

                        11 Foods That You Didn't Know That Make You Tired 

                                                                   1. Hummus 


Although delicious and healthy, hummus contains tryptophan (an amino-acid found in some foods), that can make you sleepy, but on the bright side also allow you to get a good night's rest. Just a couple of tablespoons is enough to give you a full night's sleep, so it's a perfect before-bedtime snack. 

                                                                   2. Salmon 


Salmon is packed with vitamin B6, which is in melatonin - also known as the sleep-inducing hormone. So if you need help sleeping better and want to do it in a delicious and nutrious way, try salmon.

                                                                   3. Walnuts


Walnuts also contain tryptophan, and also contain melatonin. These are the perfect snack to munch on before you hit the sack.

                                                                   4. Lettuce 



Shocker, right? A salad with dinner can actually speed up your bedtime process. Lettuce has sedative properties in it that can trick your brain into feeling sleepy.

                                                           5. Lobster and Shrimp 


I put these two together because they are obviously both part of the sea food family, and they are both a great source of tryptophan.

                                                                    6. Bananas 


Bananas are a great before bed choice. They are loaded with potassium and magnesium, which both help with muscle and nerve tension, so they can help put you more at ease.

                                                                   7. Cherries 


Cherries are a natural source of melatonin. If eaten regularly, they can help restore your natural sleep cycle. Cherries make for a tasty way to fall asleep.

                                                                    8. Honey 

A natural sleep aid, one tablespoon is more than enough to help you fall asleep and to help you skip the sleeping pills.

                                                             9. Dark Chocolate 

Chocolate lovers rejoice! Dark chocolate promotes good sleep and is also great for relaxation, putting you in a good mood, and of course, taste delicious.

                                                              10. White Bread

An American classic, it might be delicious, but it also drains your energy. It is full of refined grains that can leave you feeling spent after consuming it. On the contrary, for an energy boost try going with wheat bread instead.

                                                                   11. Turkey

Of course we couldn't leave this off of our list. Everyone finds themselves napping after Thanksgiving, and it's usually due to this tryptophan packed bird.
