Slide Yourself into Spring

The past few weeks I’ve been talking about Spring Cleaning, De-cluttering and Decorating your Home for Spring. It’s only fitting that I discuss Yourself. As Mom’s we are constantly making sure everyone else is okay. This Spring make some time for yourself! Make you feel fabulous!

It may sound a little cliche. However, I’m not sure what it is about winter that makes your body just want to shut down. Maybe it’s all the extra layers and bundling up or freezing cold temperatures. Whatever the case maybe…

Spring is all about watching the outdoors come alive again after winter. What a perfect time to brighten yourself and brighten your mood. Checking in with yourself and giving yourself some well deserved me time.

7 Fabulous Ways to Slide Yourself into Spring

1. Change up your hair! Get that new hairstyle, add some color, or go for the sun-kissed look with some highlights. I’m not saying go platinum blond like Kim Kardashian, even though blond isDo something new and hot this year!  exciting that works for you!

2. Try a new way to get active! My dear friend introduced me to Crossfit 4 ½ years ago. I loved it. However, she hurt her back and stopped going; we moved, and I joined a new box and then suffered a few injuries. This Spring, I’ve decided to switch it up and listen to my tired body a little. I’ve given Crossfit a break and switched it up once again with my friend’s recommendation. I’m loving it. I’m at Pure Barre. I’m not saying go join a new gym or what have you. I challenge you to get moving. Whether it is going to the gym, a barre class, walking, running, doing squats at home, or standing up and doing arm circles in the mirror. Do something to be active! Remember, summer is right around the corner. (Ahem, bathing suit season!)

3. Try a new makeup color! Who doesn’t love getting new makeup? Seriously, spring is a fabulous time to change some of your makeup colors or just replace some of your favorites. Switch one thing, maybe a new eye shadow or a new lip gloss or lipstick! Try it!

4. Brighten up your wardrobe. Add one new bright-colored piece. I was searching high and low for a bright yellowater! I found one, and I’m in love with it. There is something about bright, happy colors that brighten your mood! Try it. Find something bright and lightweight scarf fun that maybe you would never pick out for yourself, maybe a new scarf, shoes, shirt, piece of jewelry, or whatever!

5. Doctors appointments. Schedule that yearly physical, annual exam, or teeth cleaning.
Catch up on those appointments you’ve put at the bottom of your to-do list!

6. Change one thing in your diet! Make just one change so you will stick with it. For example, you could cut out soda, candy, sugar, or white flour.

7. Get outside! Play, have fun, & be silly with your kids!

Happy Spring! Give yourself a well-deserved something, even if it’s a coffee from Starbucks or a giant hug! Show yourself some love!
