Happy Spring my friends!
Don't you feel at times that Winter has a way of dulling things down—our routines, our plates, even our energy. But now, the earth is waking up again, and so are you.
Spring isn’t just about cleaning out closets and organizing that pantry (but I hope you did). It’s a time to shed what no longer serves you—mentally, physically, and emotionally—and finally welcome in some fresh energy, vibrant colorful foods ( think rainbow), and a renewed sense of balance.
Let’s breathe life back into your body, mind, and your plate!
Here are a few tips for you that I commit to each Springtime!
Clear Out the Clutter (Inside & Out)
Do you ever feel when a room, kitchen, or your home is filled with too much "stuff" it feels overwhelming and you feel on edge? Well, a cluttered mind and body can weigh you down and keep your head spinning. Ask yourself:
✨ What habits, thoughts, or foods make me feel tired and unproductive?
✨ Where can I create more lightness—physically and emotionally?
✨ What do I need more of ( or less of) to feel truly light and get that Spring back into my step ?
Spring is the perfect time to clear and make space—whether it’s saying no to draining commitments, releasing negative self-talk, clearing out your physical space, or letting go of foods that zap your energy. You will be amazed at the difference you will feel.
Bring Color Back to Your Plate
Winter meals tend to be warm, cozy, and often neutral-ish in color. They do have their benefits for sure, but spring calls for bright, fresh, and nutrient-packed foods that naturally will boost your energy and mood. Think of the rainbow when combining the foods for your meals. Remember every color not only looks beautiful on your plate but also has a specific health benefit to your beautiful body!
🌿 Greens for Renewal – Leafy greens like spinach, arugula, and fresh herbs support detoxification and digestion.
🍓 Bright Berries for Antioxidants – Strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries add color and help fight inflammation.
🥕 Orange & Yellow for a Glow – Carrots, bell peppers, and mangoes provide skin-loving beta-carotene and vitamin C.
💜 Purple for Longevity – Beets, purple cabbage, and blackberries nourish the brain and heart.
Pro Tip: Build your meals like a spring garden—colorful, vibrant, and full of life! ( and take a picture for me)
Refresh Your Mindset & Movement
Spring energy is all about reawakening and renewal. Shake off the sluggishness by adding more joy and movement into your day.
💛 Try Something New – A fresh morning routine, a different walking path, or a creative hobby ( art, quilting, gardening) can shift your energy.
🧘♀️ Move for Energy, Not Punishment – Gentle stretching, outdoor walks, Tai-Chi, or dance sessions can lift your mood.
📝 Declutter Your Thoughts – Journaling, deep breathing, or simply unplugging from screens ( especially at night) can create mental space.
