I love spring and the promise of newness it brings. Trees in bloom, flowers, longer days, sunshine, chocolate, baby animals. And with the longer days and warmth that those bring, with them also comes opportunity for growth and change.

1. Refresh your wardrobe

Spring is all about vibrant, colourful clothes and patterns and adding joy and maximalism into your wardrobe. A refresh doesn’t have to be buying new, you can upcycle what you already own, go charity shopping or maybe find something forgotten in the back of your wardrobe.

2. Get outside

Whilst this is important at all points of the year, spring is an especially nice time to get outside what with the sunshine and flowers blooming. Fruit anf flower picking is a great option! Move your body, reconnect with nature and maybe even consider a colour walk or a texture walk! (A colour walk is when you pick a colour and try and find things of that colour out and about. A texture walk is when you take a sketchbook and some clay and press textures into the pages of the architecture and things on your walk using an ink pad).

3. Start a new hobby

With new blooming flowers, baby animals being born and longer days coming the anticipation of summer and alongside that, newness is abundant. So why not harness that into trying a new hobby! With the warmer weather you could try a new sport outside, maybe even give wild water swimming a go! Or, try some new kind of craft, give painting or junk journalling a go.

4. Head to the beach

The weather is getting warmer, the water less choppy and ice creams more available. Head down to the beach and take in some sea air this Spring.

5. Cook or bake something new

There are so many yummy recipes to choose from for spring, incorporating hot cross buns, Easter chocolates, lovely spring vegetables like asparagus, rhubarb, new potatoes and leafy greens or roast lamb. Give something new a go!

Hopefully these top tips will make your spring colourful, vibrant and full of sparkle! Let me know if you try any of these five tips and if they brighten up your April and May. 🌷🌼🍯🍦🐿 🐥 🪺
