- Start off with a Spring Clean Your Bedroom (for Girls). It's good to have a fresh, clean home in the new season. After winter, your home is probably in need of a good airing and tidying up of things that have accumulated during the winter. It's also good to open up things that have been winterized. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Give Your Kitchen a Spring Clean and Do Spring Cleaning
- Open your swimming pool for spring and open your above ground pool after winter
- Prepare your spring garden on a budget.
- Spruce up your home with new decorations.
- Consider getting a new look. Spring is a great time for considering a makeover of your existing look. Have you had the same hairstyle for the past several years? Is your wardrobe due for an update?
- Spring is a great time to check the age of your makeup. Most makeup should be used within 6 to 12 months. Throw out old makeup and anything that's no longer in style.
- Look at new hairstyles. While it's helpful to look at current season styles, be sure to ask your hair stylist to help you with a style that matches your facial shape and brings out the best for you, for your age and gender.
