It's officially Spring! Time to tuck away your blacks and bring out your whites and corals. Anyway, Spring is always exciting because it's my birthday season and I can't help but think about rain and flowers whenever it comes around. Soft rain, of course. And colorful flowers. Sometimes I feel like I've let myself go during Winter and Spring is my time to get things on track again. A couple of my Spring must-do's:
1. Spring Cleaning
Yes everyone talks about it but how many of us actually do it? I know I've only done it every other year when I truly realize half my Winter clothes has got to go considering I live in what feels like a desert and my clothes is folded outside my closet because there is simply no more room for it. Any way, clean out your closet. Chances are you always wear the same thing. Admit it, you secretly repeat that white button down with boyfriend jeans because you know it matches anything you accessorize it with. But how about the sequin skirts and ruffled shirts? We both know you won't be caught dead out in those. Get rid of anything that doesn't let you breathe, sit, or move. Toss out the shoes that have been beat by your endless nights. Give away the things that simply don't match your style anymore. Keep only your all-time favorite bags. And last but not least, organize the things you stay with, whether it be by item, season, or color.
2. Get back to the gym
You might have pulled off your out of shape body for Winter but it's not going to slide in Spring. Lets face it, your not going to pass up on beach days because of your body and you shouldn't have to but you also don't want to show up a feel like a walking chocolate bar. As I once read: "If you never quit you never have to start again". Get back at it. Swimsuit season is right around the corner.
3. Start planning your summer adventures
Have you been dreaming of a Europe trip? Are you dying to catch a cruise? When are you finally going to plan the weekend to the keys? Now. Figure out who wants to join the party and start planning. Remember the longer you wait till Summer, the more it's going to cost you.
4. Festival Season
Ultra, Coachella, Tortuga, Governors Ball, Bonaroo they're all fast approaching. Maybe this will finally be the year you and your friends actually feed your music festival craving. Start buying your tickets and outfits because they'll be here before you know it.
5. Apply for Summer Internships, Jobs, Classes
Having responsibilities is not the funeral of your summer, I promise. The best advice I can give is to start now. The faster you start applying for internships the more likely you will be to find one that best fits your schedule and what you're looking for. The faster you sign up for your summer classes the better schedule you will get. Remember the good ones always go first.
