#spring possibiities

By the March finally rolls around, I am ready for warm weather, sandals and dresses! I’m ready for long walks in the park with Amos, bringing fresh flowers into the house, drinking a glass of wine on the porch and everything else that comes with spring! When the flowers and trees starts to bloom and the earth is coming back to life, it seems I feel the same way! There is so much hope in the spring and possibility is everywhere…but, just in case you’re not feeling inspired quite yet, here are a few ideas for things to do this spring season! Enjoy!

Get outside and exercise! Go for a bike ride, play pickle ball or take a walk! Spring is such a gorgeous time of year and there’s just something about being in nature (and exercise) that lifts your spirits!

Clean out your closet! Go through your clothes and donate or sell anything that you don’t love or that doesn’t fit! After you’ve cleared some space, put together 10 - 15 spring outfits that you love! This way, when you’re running late, you have something ready to put on and be out the door in no time!

Be sure to update your basics! Consider getting a new short sleeve white tee, a new pair of jeans, a new pair of flat sandals and versatile sneakers that will take you through the season! Consider looking into sustainable brands that are caring for our environment! If you read my blog post on Friday, you know that Sézane is environmentally friendly company that doesn’t compromise on style! Also, for sneakers consider Veja! “Veja counts impeccable attention to detail as a signature and is known for using sustainable replacements. Veja also partners with Atelier Sans Frontières, an organisation that helps people who have been incarcerated or are otherwise struggling to find work, to employ workers to prepare orders. These sneakers are so cute, comfortable and well priced and you’ll feel good about purchasing them!

Set a beautiful spring table! Go outside and cut whatever is blooming and arrange it on your table! Pull out your best dishes and make something delicious for lunch or dinner!

One of my favorite dishes is this Garlic Honey Chicken! …it’s so delicious, perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special dinner with guests…and so easy to put together! Serve alongside my famous Coconut Rice for a dinner everyone will rave about!

Make a plate of Deviled Eggs for Easter or anytime! I made these last year and had so much fun garnishing them and putting the platter together! The red ones are pickled and my favorites, but they’re all good and almost everyone loves Deviled Eggs!

Plan a getaway! Be sure to take a look at the travel guide section of Crazy Blonde where you’ll find in-depth travel guides that will help you decide where to go, what to do, where to eat and shop and where to stay! Planning a trip ahead of time ensures that you’ll have a great time and you’ll save money if you plan in advance!

Eat with the seasons! Farmer’s Markets are filled with local produce and as it’s gets warmer, the selection improves! It’s important to support local farms because the food is fresher and healthier, you’re supporting local families, it brings the community together, it preserves small farm land, it is more environmentally friendly for a number of reasons, and it preserves genetic diversity in our food.

Here’s what’s in season this spring…artichokes, fennel, asparagus, mint, cilantro, beets, arugula, peas, radishes, carrots, celery, onions. broccoli and cauliflower.

Grab your fluffy friend if you have one and get outside for a walk! Walking is one of the best exercises you can do! It’s low impact and when you walk quickly enough it’s great cardio, plus it gives you an opportunity to be out in nature and get some fresh air! Walking Amos is something I look forward to!

I love to scent our home with candles and I change them out with the seasons! Nest has the most delicious scents and one of my favorites is the Grapefruit candle! It’s a light, fresh scent that most everyone loves! I also love the Lime Zest & Matcha and it’s perfect for the spring season!
