14 Cute Self-care Ideas for Spring

1. Get Outside

After the long winter, you are surely missing some good quality vitamin D. And the best source of vitamin D is in fact sunlight!

When your skin is exposed to sunlight, vitamin D is made from cholesterol. The sun’s ultraviolet B (UVB) rays hit cholesterol in the skin cells, providing the energy for vitamin D synthesis to occur.

Vitamin D helps keep your bones strong by regulating calcium and phosphate in the body.

Not to mention that actually increases the brain’s release of serotonin, also known as the happiness hormone 😉

So with that being said, get outside and enjoy the spring-time sun!

2. Pick flowers

Flowers are a classic spring-time staple. They are in full bloom and are the perfect pop of color to the landscape.

Take advantage of these beautiful flowers and go flower picking!

Bring some home and display they in your house and take some beautiful pictures with them. Check out how to pose with flowers for some inspo.

*Note: Make sure the location you go permits the picking of flowers.

3. Paint your nails spring-time colors

It is officially time to ditch the dark, cool-toned colors and switch over to light, warm-toned spring colors!

And that includes the color on your nails.

Some of favorite spring time colors include:

Yellow
Light pink
Baby blue
Orange
Any pastels
Lavender
Sage green

4. Spring Cleaning

Although spring cleaning sounds like a chore, it can be very satisfying. I actually find it very enjoyable and put it on my spring selfcare list each year.

Spring cleaning was started in the Persian culture and called khaneh tekani, which translates to “shaking the house”. This was started as a way to declutter and remove dust to prevent any future illnesses.

Typically spring cleaning activities include:

Washing baseboards, ceiling fans, doors, window ceils, etc.
Dusting blind and shelves
Vacuuming
Washing windowing
Dushing overhead lights or lamps
Getting rid of old clothes
Decluttering any junk

Based on findings from the American Cleaning Institute (ACI), nearly three quarters of American’s plan on participating in spring clean at least once a year.

So why join them and schedule some time for spring cleaning this fall? Put on a good playlist and get cleaning!

4. Decorate your home for Spring

Now that your home is clean and ready to go, the next step is to decorate your home for spring!

(If you haven’t already, go ahead about read about the joys of spring cleaning and what that looks like above).

There is nothing better to get you in the spirit of spring like decorating the house. Spring decoration are full of flowers, signs and warm, lively colors.

5. Self-tan

Who does love being tan? Being tan is great, but after those long winter months, keeping a tan might be a little difficult.

To get in the spring and summertime mood applying some self-tan might be just what you need to elevate your confidence and give off those sun-kissed vibes.

My all-time favorite self tanner is the Bondi Sans 1 Hour Express Tanning Foam. It looks so good while still looking natural. It has blue undertones so it doesn’t create that overly orange look.

Make sure to use a tanning glove with any self tanner to ensure your hands don’t turn out over developed.

6. Wax or shave your legs

Spring-time means switching out your pants for shorts and coats for swimsuits. No more hiding those unshaved legs under your clothes.

Have a nice selfcare moment and find your perfect routine for removing any unwanted hair. Whether that is waxing, shaving, epilating, laser hair removal, or electrolysis, we are having smooth legs this spring!

Because I am not a good candidate for laser hair removal and waxing has proven to be too painful for my liking, my chosen hair removal method for my legs is shaving.

To get the perfect shave, here are the steps I take:

Exfoliate
Apply shaving cream or conditioner
If you use a new razor, apply light pressure to avoid cuts.
Shave using long strokes.
Rinse and apply lotion.

7. Go on a picnic

You can’t get more spring-time vibes then going for a picnic.

8. Watch the sunrise or sunset

Sunrises and sunsets are none other than beautiful, inspiring and can be potentially life-changing.

The sun rises and falls every single day no matter where you are. So there is no excuse why are can’t take a few moments to enjoy the natural wonders of this earth.

It is sure to give you a little smile, moment of calmness and breath of fresh air.

9. Buy a summer dress

Spring-time is the perfect time to start searching for a cute summer dress to wear.

Having a staple summer dress is an important part of your wardrobe. Typically, ‘summer’ dresses are light in colors, flowy and extremely comfortable to wear.

Get a casual summer dress and throw it on for any occasion for a cute and dainty summertime look. Or get a more formal, spicy dress and wear it for night outs, dinners or any other special occasions.

Summer style comes from spring shopping.

10. Lighten your hair

Switching up your look and lightening your locks is always fun, especially when it is just in time for summer! Whether you hit the salon or harness the power of natural lightener, lightening your hair is one of my spring time favorites.

There are a bunch of ways to lighten your hair. While the salon can give instantly beautiful results, there are other completely natural and way cheaper alternatives.

A few ways to lighten your hair include:

Using lemon juice
Chamomile
Raw honey
Apple cider vinegar

11. Start a Garden

There is nothing better than home grown fruits and veggies. It is the perfect self-care activity for spring. And luckily, spring is the best time to start a garden because the soil is dry and temperature is beginning to warm up.

Yep! The. Best. Time.

For some, this may mean March or April and other mays have to wait until May or June depending on the region and climate.

Nonetheless, before plants anything you can get your hands on, you should do some research as to what seeds will survive and thrive in your environment.

Some typical spring-time seeds include:

Potatoes
Lettuce/Salad greens
Radish
Legumes
Basil
Summer squash
Cucumbers
Peppers
Tomatoes
Chard/Beets

Starting a garden is so fun and rewarding but can be a lot of work. Make sure you are up for the challenge and have the means to do it before you start. Enjoy gardening!

12. Get into a workout routine

It has likely been over 6 months sense anyone has seen you without a shirt – in public at least – and with the holidays and cold weather, there hasn’t been much motivation to work on your figure. Until now!

Summer is right around the corner with lots of lounging by the pool and maybe some tropical vacations planned. Which means, you might be ready to get a good workout routine in place.

Whatever you choose as your workout routine, there are few key tips to follow if you want to see results:

Don’t go more than 3 days without working out. Your muscles need to under-going consistent stress.
Rest is just as important as the workout itself. Give your muscles 24-48 hours to recover. (For example, if you worked your leg muscles on Monday, don’t do that exact workout on Tuesday. Instead, work your arm muscles)
Protein will be your best friend. Try to eat protein with every meal as it is an important nutrient for building and repairing muscles. Click here for tips on how to add more protein to your diet.

Invest in yourself and start some self-care for spring now.

Note: Remember that no one workout plan is perfect for everybody. Everyone has their own goals, body, and preferences. For best results, you should speak with a professional or learn how to structure your own weekly workouts.

13. Eat spring time fruits

Spring and summer are my favorite because the seasonal fruits are so good during this time. Be sure to enjoy some spring time fruits!

Some spring fruits include:

Kiwi
Honeydew melon
Cherries
Pineapple
Apricots
Strawberries

14. Have a photoshoot

My last selfcare idea for spring is to have a photoshoot!

The world is blooming, the sun is out and the birds are chirping. This makes for the best photos!

Everywhere is just so aesthetically pleasing and spring photography is one of my favorites to see.

Get some spring-time photo inspo and more.

And that is it! Let me know in the comments if you did any of these selfcare activities for spring or if you have any of your own that you like doing. I’d love to hear!
