Springing Forward...



i have to admit nothing gets me more excited for spring than cleaning...
i know it is so cliche
but it truly can be intoxicating!

can't you just picture 
a cool breeze blowing through your windows, 
music blaring (because who cleans in silence!?)
 a lilac scented candle burning, your hair is a mess
and there you are in the middle of chaos...

that is piles, mainly of sweaters and boots 
 there's vacuuming, dusting and laundry
hopefully lots of donating and then there will that moment when you say
"i'm going to move the tv AND  i should paint this wall blue!"

for me, this spring will be very needed.
 the time change didn't hit me too hard
it's the weather i have been longing for most!
it has been a cold, snow filled and very emotional winter.
i am much looking forward to sunshine 
and painting a wall and cleansing myself.
( i've already overhauled my closet / well, i started to!)

but what about you
what can you do this spring?

take a crash course in refreshments?!
for our heart, mind & body, that is!
there's more then just the exterior, 
time to take care of the interior too...

heart:
i recently saw a quote that really spoke to me...
 "keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable"
be sure to treat yourself. be best to you and take care of you first.
when you put yourself first, you are a priority.
you will leave space and time for all other things to come and find you.

mind: 
i love a good departure...
after being a little cooped up and weighed down
take some time to clock out of the chaos and clock into what makes you happy
it will be so soothing and rejuvenate you for the better days ahead.

body:
a cleanse is just as good for your closet as it is for your body!
with the warmer temps in the near future
you'll sure start to feel a bit free, carefree!
maintain your balance and start a system that works for you.
break up with the treadmill and head outside, drink more water then you do coffee.

any other ideas on what you can do for you this spring?!
