If the allergies and mood changes make it difficult for you to love the springtime, you can pamper yourself for the new season – this is the easiest way to enhance your spring and come to love it!
1. Discover a new travel destination
Spring is the best season to travel: it’s warm enough for a walk, yet not in full season, so the prices are decent and the number of tourists is low. Here’s another major factor to convince you to travel in the spring: there are lots of festivals and parties which celebrate the new season! You can plan your next big escape in a foreign country or simply put on the most comfortable pair of shoes and grab your backpack as you towards a new city or area in your home country. There is always something to see and somewhere to go, so browse the internet and find somewhere tp enjoy the rebirth of nature next weekend. This is also the perfect opportunity to establish a new family tradition: traveling to a new place each spring and having fun with your loved ones.
2. Pamper your body
Just like animals come out of their warm dens, you are going to come out of your cozy home in spring, which means you need to look your best. During winter months you may overlook some self-grooming tasks, such as waxing your legs – spring is the best time to update your look and pamper your body to get ready for the summer days. Whether you book a day at the spa using a voucher or you choose to turn your own home into a spa, you should include a full body massage, a relaxation session with Epsom salts, and a look update.
3. Try a new hairstyle
Welcome the spring in style with a new hairstyle. A new hairstyle can make you feel better about yourself and can definitely make you feel the spring groove. Go bold and try something new, like a bun, pigtails, high pony, or curls. Of course, a new hairstyle is not complete without a color change – go from blonde to brunette or redhead, or try a new trend! Take a risk and experiment with a new color. I guarantee you will feel revived!
4. New makeup, new nails
After a new hairstyle, you need new makeup and a new manicure style. Nothing says spring louder than a new manicure and pedicure. Choose pastels, which are the best for this new season. Mint, turquoise, pink, blue, or lavender are all great options when it comes to your nails. Before you start painting, don’t forget to give some loving care to your feet and hands — a hot milk and honey bath is going to leave your skin soft and glowing. You also deserve new makeup for spring — ditch the old makeup look and embrace a new one. You can choose to follow the current trends or just find a new way to highlight your natural beauty. If you look at designers, you will see lots of spring colors, such as blue and green for the eye makeup; orange, pink, deep reds, and wine for the lips. Keep your skin glowing by using scrubs and hydrating lotions or creams.
5. New clothes
New hair, new makeup, new nails — you’ll need new clothes to complete your new look! Time to dive into the wardrobe and really spring clean! Welcome the spring in style with some staples: jeans, slip-on shoes, flower patterns, simple shirts, leggings, and an all-weather blazer and trench. Don’t forget a trendy and highly useful crossbody bag which can be converted to a simple small backpack. A scarf is always handy in spring, as it helps you stay trendy and warm as the weather changes from hour to hour. None of these items are restricted to just one season. Pick versatile outfits which can be worn in multiple seasons – you just have to add new statement, trendy accessories each time.
6. Detox your entire being
To be able to welcome the spring in style, you need to give a boost to the natural detox processes which go on in your body. There are many ways to do this, yet the most effective and easy method is to stick with infused waters, detox smoothies, and whole foods. Your first step towards detox is hydration. Because it can be hard to drink enough water during the day, you can use a simple trick: make infused water. Infused water can be made simply by adding herbs, fruits, and vegetables to your water. The added flavor of the water will make you want to drink more than usual, and the added ingredients will speed up your metabolism and increase your fat burning rate. Experiment with different ingredients until you find the one you like best. Smoothies can support the infused water and act as your meals for the day, as long as you add enough protein to them. Base your smoothies on leafy greens, which have fibre and support proper bowel movements. Dandelion greens, spinach, kale, and parsley are among the best greens for your detox smoothies. Switch to whole foods and local produce — ditching the processed foods is a great way to boost your health and cleanse your body. Aim to eliminate sugars, alcohol, and gluten from your diet, relying on vegetables and fresh products. During your 7-10 days of detox, you have to pay attention to your spirit and mind as well. Aim to meditate for 5 minutes a day, or simply disconnect from the electronics and unplug all the devices, spending some time in complete silence, breathing deeply. You will notice the benefits of this practice after the first session and you will never want to give it up!
7. Embrace a new exercise routine
Spring is the best time to take up a new sport, so take advantage of it! Take a bike ride and enjoy the great outdoors! Biking is easy to fit it into your lifestyle, as you can just ditch the car and ride your bike while running errands. You’ll gradually get fitter, all while enjoying a new activity that puts you in a positive mood.
8. Create a new playlist
To get into the mood and welcome the spring in style, you need to have some appropriate tunes ready. Music has a beneficial effect on your mood and studies have proven that music therapy can reduce depression and depressive syndrome. This can be common during the spring, as the body is affected by the climatic changes, like temperature and pressure. Apart from the scientific side of music, it can make you relive past memories, like that song that was playing during your first kiss. Music awakens emotions, so you can use it to pump up your mood in preparation for spring. Create a spring playlist and unleash your creativity and happiness. Add songs which remind you of your favorite spring moments.
9. Read a new book
Rediscover the library and boost your creativity this spring. Reading enhances your brain power — that’s a proven fact. Go for physical books rather than ebook — the experience of reading is not complete without the act of turning the pages.
10. Start a DIY project
Spring is the perfect time to start a DIY project. When the allergies hit you hard or the spring storms are not allowing any walks in the park, just take the DIY path. Make a cute purse, necklace, enhance your hangers, or give an old item a new life — spring is the right time to tackle those projects you’ve been procrastinating for the last year. Spring is a lovely season, so embrace it! Ditch the seasonal funk by grabbing your infused water and crafting a new item while listening to your power playlist!
