30 Self-Care Ideas For the Ultimate Spring
It’s Spring! This time of year is one of my favorites. It’s the time when we finally shed our heavy coats and leave the house where we’ve been stuck for the past few months. Spring is the time when everyone and everything comes back to life. A new season means new opportunities for self-care. Start the warm season out right!
1. Take a Hot Girl Shower
2. Get Outside
My favorite part about the end of winter is the longer days. Having time to go outside and enjoy the sunshine after work is such an amazing blessing that I try not to take for granted.

Nothing makes me feel better than getting my feet sandal season ready!

11. Revisit Your Skincare Routine
Your skin needs different things during different parts of the year. Maybe your skin needs a less rich moisturizer in the spring/summer? Maybe you need a different type of sunscreen in the sunnier months? Is there something you haven’t been doing that you think you should? This month I’ve finally gotten into the habit of changing my pillow cases every few days (its hard when you don’t have a washer and dryer).

26. Buy a New Water Bottle or Revisit on Old Favorite
We all have our emotional support water bottle. But sometimes you have to change it up. Been looking at a certain water bottle? Here is your sign to buy it. Have way too many and don’t want to spend money? Grab one you haven’t used in a while. Make your water intake exciting.
