It’s been a longer winter then we are used to , still running around not making any time for ourselves or friends. Well time to take it back. Spring is coming, summer will be here and before you know it Winter will be back. Make the time!
I have been giving myself and extra 15 minutes every morning to do yoga and take deep breaths and think positive. It is really getting me through this last stretch of cold and snow. Treat yourself when you get up because this is your day and it will be great!
Some of the trends this spring are stripes, polka dots, brights, and animal prints. If that’s too much for you, accessorize. I find layering is key at this time of year. Off with the winter coats and layer, layer, layer. Pick yourself up in this grey weather and bring out your inner SPRING. Wear something bright whether it’s clothing, an accessory or a beauty product. I suggest some Butter London Polish in Disco Biscuit a candy colour ring from Stephanie, or a bright felt bag. 10 Feet this season also has some nice neutrals with some prints to accent a simple pair of jeans.
What’s your lifestyle? What do you want as a lifestyle? We all want more time, so make it. Go to Yoga, get a heathy shake at Euphoria go for a walk and make your way to some shops on Broadway in Orangeville. Have a nice healthy lunch at Pia’s and shop at Noinkee’s and enjoy the first day of spring!
