February is almost over…and spring is in the air; celebrate the changing season with a burst of freshness, vitality and zing in your beauty bag!
There’s something so deliciously refreshing about this time of year. Each day is just a bit longer, there’s a little warmth in the sun again and temperatures are creeping back into double figures.
The shops are full of summer fashion, there are days when the winter coat can be left at home and it’s a great time to start planning ahead for picnics, parties and spring/summer holidays.
Spring-cleaning
Now you’re in the mood, how about some spring-cleaning?
Before you forget, take a look at your wardrobe and see if there are any bulky items you never used this winter. Then take those unworn woolly cardis, snow boots and fluffy jumpers to the charity shop; as well as doing your good deed for the day, you’ll have also made some room in your closet for a couple of feel-good, new season pieces.
Pick clothes that can be layered, so you can wear them right away, and bright colours or bold prints will make you look and feel fabulous.
Refresh your beauty regime
Now you can do the same thing with your beauty bag. Have a quick check to see if you’re low on supplies, or if any of your must-have winter products are ready to be retired for the better weather.
With a little space made, it’s time to stock up on season perfect beauty treatments that will refresh and revitalise your hair and skin, making you feel spring-tastic.
