today is the first day of spring!
a season of renewal, growth, and new beginnings
It’s a fresh start to a new season: Spring! 🌸
Happy first day of spring! There’s something magical about this time of year—the longer days, the fresh air, and the feeling of new beginnings all around us. Just like nature is blooming, it’s the perfect time to take stock of your life and decide what you want to cultivate and what you’re ready to leave behind.
Whether it’s a fresh mindset, new habits, or just a little more space to breathe, we’re here to support you every step of the way. So as you step into this new season, ask yourself: What do I want to grow? What’s no longer serving me?
We’ve got plenty of tips, resources, and encouragement to help you embrace this season of renewal—check it all out below! 💛
You are worthy of a little treat! 🎁
A “little treat” is a small, intentional indulgence—whether it’s a fancy coffee, a few minutes of quiet, or a new book—that brings a spark of joy and comfort to your day. These tiny moments of self-care matter because they remind us that happiness isn’t just found in big milestones, but in the little things we give ourselves along the way.
Here are some simple ideas for affordable little treats to brighten your day! ✨
A fancy coffee or tea ☕️
Taking a short walk in nature 🌿
Listening to your favorite song on repeat 🎶
Lighting a candle with a cozy scent 🕯️
Watching the sunset or sunrise 🌅
A hot bath or shower with your favorite soap 🛁
A midday nap, even if it’s just 10 minutes 😴
Fresh flowers from the grocery store or picked from outside 🌸
A few squares of really good chocolate 🍫
Turning off notifications and enjoying quiet time 📵
Using the “good” lotion or perfume just because 🌺
Reading a chapter of a book with no interruptions 📖
Writing in a journal, even just a few sentences ✍️
Watching a comfort show or funny YouTube video 📺
Putting on your coziest socks or PJs early 🧦
Making a playlist of songs that make you happy 🎧
A DIY spa moment—face mask, hand scrub, or foot soak 💆♀️
Browsing a bookstore or library without rushing 📚
Trying a new recipe just for fun 🍳
Giving yourself permission to do absolutely nothing ☁️
