How To Pamper Yourself This Spring

It has been a long, hard winter and I'm ready for a little pampering. Here's what is on my list.

Difficulty: N/A

Time Required: N/A

Here's How:

1.   When I was a kid, spring meant a new pair of rubber boots. I spent hours outside playing in the little rivers of melting snow in our backyard. While this doesn't interest me now, it is important to make some play time as often as we can.

2.   We have lost the romantic lure of the fireplace, but by replacing the logs with several candles, you can bring about a similar effect... a nice romantic glow of flickering candles.

3.   Head outside and dig in the garden. Not only are you burning calories, you can enjoy the great smell of fresh earth.

4.   Get out the self-tanner. I know that I am definitely sick of pale skin, but I know better than to tan. A little color out of a tube, now that doesn't hurt a bit!

5.   Sit outside in the morning, enjoy your morning coffee and simply people watch. All the stresses of the upcoming day will melt away.

6.   You might not have a holiday planned for this summer, but you could still plan on. Go on the net and research all of the things to do in a far away place. Who knows, you just might be able to go there sooner than you think.

7.   Give your bedroom a lift for spring. Throw open a window, get rid of the heavy comforter... puts some fresh flowers in a vase. It's that easy.

8.   Take a quick look at your cosmetics. Could you use some new colors for spring? And don't forget, that doesn't necessarily mean buying new shades. Play with the colors you have.

9.   Go for a walk around the block... or two. Chances are you have put on a pound or two over the winter. Lets start walking it off.

10.   Pamper yourself by booking an appointment for a new hairstyle. Have some new layers cut into your tresses so that you don't have to fuss all summer long. Layers gives lots of movement.
