Spring INTO WELLNESS

By Maha Chaudhry

Spring is here and It is the perfect time to de-clutter, not just your space, but your mind as well. Here’s a spring checklist that covers all of you: Mind, body, and soul. Consider checking off these items not only for the season, but as a reminder for consistent wellbeing throughout.

De-Clutter

As every season comes along, we prioritize what we need, and what we no longer need to hold on to - we remove the clutter. When it comes to our mind, it should be no different. To ease the mind, work on removing thoughts that no longer serve you. A good way to do this is by practicing breath work and meditation. Bring your mind into stillness and look within to find inner peace.

Detox

We all need a good cleanse sometimes. A cleanse does more than help our bodies heal, it brings clarity to the mind. It removes everyday toxins that can create brain fog among other obstacles. Consider adding a cleanse to your list of self-care. There are plenty recipes out there. I personally enjoy following the ones in the book Cleanse to Heal by Anthony William, also known as the “Medical Medium.”

Recharge

You don’t have to go on vacation to feel recharged. You can do so in the comfort of your very home, or any place and brings you joy. All it takes is an hour or less to let go of the busy around you and hone in on the present moment. Recharge by participating in what energizes you. Is it being around your loved ones? Is it plugging off and reading a book? Do whatever that is for you consistently and you’ll find burnout doesn’t stand as much of a chance.

Rejuvenate Under the Sun

In other words, get a boost of serotonin. Sunlight is responsible for helping your brain release serotonin which is directly linked to mood boosting. This can help you feel more refreshed and joyful, on top of feeling more focused. Now that beach season is among us, it’s a great time to get out and get a dose of sun therapy. Avoiding the beach during spring break? That’s okay too! Any way that you take in the natural light is acceptable, whether it is going for a walk in the park, lounging in the yard, or having lunch outdoors. Keep in mind, when under the sun, it is important to protect yourself from ultraviolet rays by wearing a clean SPF sunscreen of 30 or higher.

NAILED IT!

Spring 2023 is set to bring a burst of color to nails with the latest nail polish trends. Pastel shades, such as lilac, powder blue, and mint green, are predicted to be popular. Bold hues like fuchsia, orange, and yellow will also make a statement. Nail art continues to evolve with minimalist graphic designs, such as stripes and polka dots, being popular. Textured polishes, such as matte and glitter, are also expected to make a comeback. Experiment with different shades, textures, and designs to elevate your spring look. Get ready to add a pop of color to your nails this season!

SPRING FASHION IS HERE How to be ready!

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe and add some new pieces to your style. There are several fashion trends that are perfect for the season.

One trend that is popular this spring is pastel colors. Soft hues such as pale pink, mint green, and powder blue are great choices for creating a feminine and romantic look. These colors are especially great for adding a pop of color to your wardrobe if you typically wear more neutral tones.

Another trend that is big this season is the return of the 80s and 90s. This means that bold patterns, bright colors, and exaggerated silhouettes are making a comeback. Think neon, graphic prints, and oversized blazers. This trend is perfect for women who want to make a statement with their fashion choices.

For those who prefer a more relaxed and effortless look, spring is the perfect time to embrace natural fibers and earthy tones. Linen, cotton, and denim are great choices for this trend. Neutral colors like beige, tan, and brown are also popular for this look. These pieces are versatile and perfect for everyday wear.

When it comes to footwear, spring is the perfect time to break out your sandals and slides. Platforms and chunky soles are popular this season, and they add a fun and playful touch to any outfit. Pastel colors and bold patterns are great options for adding a pop of color to your footwear.

In conclusion, there are several fashion trends that are perfect for women ages 25-35 this spring. From pastel colors to bold 80s and 90s styles, there is something for everyone. Embrace your personal style and have fun experimenting with new trends to create a look that is uniquely you.
