Spring time is the perfect time to go outside before the temperatures become too disrespectful. Flowers start to blossom while trees start to develop their leaves. There will be so many things to do to soak up some sun and have some much needed fun.
On the flip side this is the time to give your home a refresher. Shake and fluff every pillow cushion, clean those ceiling fans, and organize your closets and cabinets.
Here are 12 spring activities and ideas to get you out of that winter funk and off to a great start before spring season really takes off.
1. Manicure and Pedicure
Indulge in a nail treatment- lets get those nails whipped into shape and toes together for the introduction to sandal season.
Our feet have really been sheltered for a few months now and because of this they will need some sun, moisturizer and attention.
Give them the attention they deserve Ladies and Gents!
2. Get a massage
A massage would be the perfect treat for decompressing from a long cold winter. Why not give your entire body some much needed relaxation.
Massages can be healthy; for instance they can boost energy, reduce anxiety and stress, as well as give you glowing skin. Get your entire life by pampering yourself as you enter the spring season.
3. Throw out a few Winter pieces
So a good rule of thumb would be to throw out, donate or sell any pieces that you don’t foresee yourself taking into the next winter season.
After deciding what you are going to get rid of, then pack away all other winter items that have no place being mixed with your spring wardrobe.
4. Add stylish Spring pieces to your wardrobe
Now that you have taken the time to remove those winter clothes, you should have plenty of space to reintroduce some of your spring pieces that made the cut from last year’s spring clothes.
Let’s go shopping now, and add some new pieces to our wardrobe. Pieces that will mix well with clothes you already have for starters. Then grab a few more trendy pieces or outfits that will spruce up your spring wardrobe and have you feeling like springtime is a new beginning.
5. Start outdoor workouts and Get cute
Take your workout outside! You can lay off some of the gym workouts, and incorporate some fresh outdoor workouts to your routine.
Get cute!
This is where you can add some new pieces of workout gear to your workout wardrobe. Get cute to sweat! A big part of fitness in this new era is all about being cute while working out, I believe it gives you a little more confidence.
Working out does not have to be boring, because what you wear will definitely get you more excited and into your workout routine.
6. Protect your skin and Get some sun
Soak up as much sun as you can! Now that the sun is giving off a little heat, get your sunscreens and moisturizer out.
Although we are super excited about coming out of hibernation we must not forget to protect our skin. Make sure you wear that new spring glow well ladies.
7. Plan your go to Spring cocktails
It’s that time of year for refreshing spring beverages and cocktails drinks. Get ready to plan and explore new fruits and flavors for your new favorite drinks of the season.
You can go family friendly virgin style with your beverages or all the way with a little liquor to relax for the evening.
8. Spring cleaning gives the home a refresher
So one thing for sure that we should do is, remove all winter clutter. Those super heavy duty blankets, and winter boots that you have laying around should be stored away.
Give your entire home a reboot! We call that a good spring cleaning- clean everything from your window seals to your floor boards and all the way to your refrigerator.
Now because of all your hard work cleaning be sure to set out some fresh flowers for a fabulous finishing touch. This will make your home feel refreshed over all for the new season ahead.
9. Plan a Spring trip
This is a great time for planning a spring getaway. This doesn’t have to be anything overly extravagant either.
Just give yourself a pick me up, something as simple as going on a cute picnic at the beach, or a nice outing around a different city. Live a little because after being sheltered all winter you deserve it.
10. Go to Food Festivals and Farmers Markets
If your city is one of those cities that have farmers markets and food festivals you are lucky. These are great things to participate in if you have a skill, but they are also great fun to attend.
When at these local festivals you can get your hands on some of the freshest vegetables, fruit, handcrafted items and even indulge in the tasting of some local foods.
11. Celebrate the Spring holidays
The first holiday of spring is St. Patrick’s Day. Go out and enjoy some good fun with friends. Although St. Patrick’s day consists of lots of bars, booze, parades, and partying feel free to celebrate the way you feel most comfortable.
12. Spring hairstyle cuts and new hairdos
With spring around the corner this is the time when you start to see a little more skin. With that being said you will start to see some fresh new hair cuts, colors, and styles around.
Your hair may need some love so if your color started to fade over the winter season give it a touchup. If your hair has grown out, give it a trim. If you are brave and want to try something new for spring give yourself a bold new cut with a hot new color.
Can’t you just smell the fresh aroma of flowers in the air! What do you plan on doing to kick off your spring festivities?
