It is the beginning of March, which means winter is officially over and it is time for my favorite season: spring. There are so many reason why I love spring, but I love when the sun comes out again and the temperatures are rising again. I start to feel like a brand-new person again.
Things I want to do in Spring
- Read more books. I’ve been reading throughout the winter, but mostly in the last hour or two before bed. I can’t wait to sit outside, enjoy the fresh air, and dive into a book with a mocktail (alcohol free cocktail) by my side.
- Spend more time outside. Winter is too cold for me, and I prefer staying indoors. But as soon as the temperatures rise, I’ll be outside, going for long walks and enjoying nature.
- Buy myself flowers. I love flowers (and plants), and as Miley Cyrus said, I can buy myself flowers. 🌸
- Celebrate my birthday. My birthday isn’t until the end of May, but I’m already looking forward to spoiling myself with nice things and having lots of fun.
- Romanticize my life. I want to be more present instead of always thinking about what’s next. Taking small moments to enjoy life and make the best of each day and moment is my goal.
- Spring cleaning. A fresh start! I can already picture myself putting on a great playlist and deep-cleaning everything. I also plan to declutter and donate whatever I no longer use or wear.
- Go thrift shopping. It’s been a while since I last visited a thrift store! I don’t shop often, only when I really need something, but I’d love to browse for cute dresses and experiment with new styles.
- Have more self-care Sundays. I love my self-care Sundays—reading, baking, walking, playing with cats, and pampering myself, mostly while staying offline.
- Visit outdoor markets. Spring means the return of outdoor markets! I want to visit flea markets, farmer’s markets, and especially the book market (which only happens twice a year and always has a long line).
- Celebrate all national holidays. Spring has so many holidays—Easter, King’s Day, Ascension, Whit Sunday, and Whit Monday. I want to celebrate all of them!
- Revive my Instagram. Lately, I’ve been focused on video content, but I also love posting photos. It’s been a while since I uploaded anything besides reels, and I miss it. Spring’s colors and beauty will be the perfect inspiration.
- Start writing again. I love writing for myself and always have ideas for cute romance stories. This spring, I want to start putting them down on paper again.
- Bake more. While autumn and winter are the ultimate baking seasons, I still want to bake a few things this spring—especially for Easter and my birthday.
- Try three new foods or drinks. There are always new products popping up at the supermarket, and I want to try a few. Who knows? I might discover a new favorite!
- Create more content. I’m back to blogging! After taking a break to rebrand, I’ve decided to keep my blog more personal, and I love it. It feels like the good old days of blogging again.
