Stuck on Winter? Are you also feeling stagnant? Read below for 10 easy ways to have the best spring season and feel refreshed in the new season.
1. Do Something for your Inner Child
When I think of Spring, I think of jumping in puddles and drawing with chalk on the sidewalk. Adding a little bit of happy childhood memories from spring will bring nothing but cozy vibes. Ultimately some ideas include, get a fun umbrella, sidewalk chalk, find shapes in clouds, ride your bike, color easter eggs.
2. Buy a New Plant or a Spring Bouquet
As a result of Spring, I think adding new life to the home is exciting! I love adding bright red tulips to a vase, but daffodils, and lilacs are great spring flower additions. If you have a green thumb, then treat yourself to a new plant for your home or try your hand at an indoor garden. Also, herb gardens make great indoor gardens.
3. Do a Spring Craft
Florals and Spring is like peanut butter and jelly. They just go so well together, for that reason I love doing dried flower crafts. Find a dried floral craft like the one above to really embrace the Spring season. Click here for dried floral craft ideas!
4. Open your Windows
In general, fresh air is so important. Therefore, opening your windows will make a huge difference, trust me. I like to open my windows for small bits of time in the winter just for the fresh air. In the spring that fresh air is definitely needed. Ultimately, Spring is the time for new beginnings and what better way to do that by clearing the air, literally.
5. Thrift or Fix up an Item
Spring is the time of rebirth and also new beginnings. What better way to start off the Spring season by updating an old piece of furniture and thrifting something new?
6. Refresh your Space
I used to dread Spring cleaning as a child but now it feels 100 % needed as an adult. Even something as simple as cleaning up your bookshelf and hanging new wall art can help freshen a space. Therefore, even the smallest change can bring a bright update to your home and environment.
7. Find a New Outdoor Space
Something I like to do in the Spring is explore and find new outdoor spaces! One of the best Spring tips for me is spending time outside and enjoying the weather. I love going on long walks and finding new outdoor parks in my area.
8. Pick a New Spring Scent
A new fresh scent can fill the home and instantly signal a fresh beginning. I think it’s equally important to note there are many options for a new Spring scent. In general florals are a great Spring scent. However, a clean linen scent or citrus is also really nice.
For example, you can treat yourself to a new candle or a fragrant bouquet. Also, a nice stovetop simmer with a cut up orange, lemon, and some vanilla extract is a nice way to enjoy a clean scent.
9. Make a Dish with Seasonal Produce

10. Read a Cozy Spring Book or Watch a Spring Movie
Finally, finding media that reminds you of Spring is a great inexpensive way to honor Spring. For example, Braiding Sweetgrass is an incredible book written by an Indigenous Botanist who shares her experience and knowledge of plants.
If you’re looking for a Spring inspired movie, some of my favorites are : You’ve got Mail, Enchanted, and Never Been Kissed.
