As you peel off the layers of your winter wardrobe, de-ice your windshield, and thaw out from a mere 5-minute walk outside, take heart – for spring is just around the corner! Soon flowers will be in bloom and everyone will be talking about where they’re going for summer vacation. What’s that? You’re not ready for all these changes? No problem. Here are some fun tips to get ready for the spring season:<\/p>\n

\n
• Make spring cleaning easier by donating unwanted items now. Hello, Goodwill!<\/li>\n
• Place fresh-cut flowers throughout the house for a spot of color and cheer. Bookcases, desks, end tables and countertops will stand out nicely with a splash of live greenery and color.<\/li>\n
• Accessorize with some seasonal throw rugs, pillows, and prints.<\/li>\n
• Change out heavy winter comforters and blankets for their lighter, cooler versions.<\/li>\n
• Put away the wool sweaters and pull out the shorts, skorts, and flip-flops.<\/li>\n
• Book your summer vacation trip now before your favorite spots are sold out!<\/li>\n
• Keep up with your workout to prepare for your favorite warm-weather sports and wardrobe.<\/li>\n
• Re-energize and book a spa day or throw an in-home spa party<\/a> for friends.<\/li>\n
• Re-ignite your love for lighter, fresh fare. Out with the soups and in with the salads. Check out these 25 Best Spring Recipes from Cooking Light<\/a>.<\/li>\n
• Make sure the bike is in working order. Shine it up, put air in the tires, and take it out for a spin!<\/li>\n
• Replace old walking shoes, if needed. The average life span of a good walking shoe is six months or 500 miles. So, depending on how much you walk or run, it might be time to invest in some new shoes before the warm weather beckons.<\/li>\n
• Organize or join a walking, biking, or running group and scout out some fresh, spring-filled trails.<\/li>\n
• Research spring and summer festivals in your area and get advance tickets while they’re on sale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
