What’s that? Do I hear… Yes! I do! I hear birds singing! Oh, spring – you’ve kept us waiting but I know you’re going to be spectacular!
If you’re as excited as I am about spring, then let’s start going through my checklist for this most welcomed season:
Decorate
They don’t call it “spring cleaning” for nothing! You can give your bathroom a little spruce up and completely revamp your boudoir without busting the bank. Sometimes a coat of paint and a little expert advice is all you need. I’m thinking robin’s egg blue for my kitchen – to pick up the sunshine!
Freshen up your food
Enough of the potatoes and pasta already! After a winter full of comfort food, rediscover the lighter, fresher side of your diet. Salads, tropical fruit and bbq grilling are just around the corner, so start gathering some new recipes for your spring palate.
Rediscover your curves
Somewhere under those big sweaters, scarves and tuques is your body, eagerly anticipating the return of clothing that shows off your curves – and not hide them. The good news is – you don’t have to spend a bundle to boost your wardrobe this spring.
Rediscover your face
Show off the spring glow in your cheeks – get a new haircut and exfoliate those cheeks! Your skin needs the boost after a chill, dry winter – and your spirits could use a lift too. You’ll be smiling when you remember just how soft your skin is.
Start gardening!
Nothing expresses the joys of spring more eloquently that blossoming flowers… And if you’re not sure whether or not you have a green thumb, ask the experts. They can help you build a garden that will have the neighbours ooh-la-la-ing.
Sweeten up at the sugar shack
Eat warm maple taffy on fresh snow. Get your fill of smoky baked beans drowning in maple syrup. Walk it off in the forest afterwards. A rite of spring that cannot be missed – especially if you’re in La Belle Province. Find a sugar shack in Quebec here.
