Spring Fling featuring Lauren

I am pleased to share guest writer Lauren on the blog today, celebrating the Spring Fling series! She has shared a fantastic selection of tips on how to stay active, have fun, and enjoy all that this spring has to offer. 

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

As winter begins to fade and the first buds of spring appear in the trees, it’s time to celebrate the start of a new season and a brand new year. While it’s easy to simply let spring quickly fade into the heat of summer, it is much more fun to grab the season and enjoy it to its fullest. So, don’t miss out! Here are some of the top ways that the spring season can benefit your health, style and well-being.

1. Out with the Old

Spring is the perfect time to update your look and lifestyle. If you have a hairstyle that’s making you groan when you look in the mirror, still have yet to clean out the backseat of your car, or have worn out your favorite band tee to the point of no return, it’s time to shake off the things that are weighing you down. Get started with a little spring cleaning of your life and your personal style, and you will be sure to feel fresh and ready to get going in 2012.

2. Get Fit

The new warmth of spring brings a sigh of relief for those of us battling the winter blah’s, but that also means that swimsuit season is right around the corner. Instead of stressing about how to achieve your dream beach body, take cues from this season of rejuvenation and sign up for yoga classes or aerobic swimming. Do something that will make you feel refreshed and energized, and that will surely be enough momentum to get going toward your best summertime bod yet.

3. Eat Fresh

As summer finally approaches, the produce sections of our local grocery stores will start to look a bit less dismal. Take some inspiration from the new season and add some more fresh fruits and veggies to your diet. It is the fastest and most natural way to get a healthy spring glow.

4. Dare to Bare

Even though winter has put most of us in the routine of layering that old band tee with a sweater, under a hoodie, under a parka, it’s time to shed those awful layers and let our skin breathe free. To celebrate the season, head to your favorite store and pick up some flowy, wide-leg chiffon pants in a tribal print or the shortest bodycon mini that you can get your hands on. As soon as the weather allows, don your new finds and head out to show the rest of the world that spring has arrived.

5. Have Fun in the Sun

Now that the weather has started to change, don’t forget to partake in one of the best activities for your body, mind and soul: having fun outside! Take your dog to the park, air up your bike tires for a ride around the neighborhood, or lay out poolside. Anything that you enjoy doing outside will lift your spirits and give you the first hints of that much-needed sexy, summer glow.
