This weather is being so freaking weird. Well, the weather here in Italy is being so freaking weird. I haven't heard much great things about the weather on the other side of the pond either... with the North still experiencing snow and everywhere else experiencing fluctuating hot and cold temperatures. Like, what is really going on? It's supposed to be Spring, with warm weather and fluttering butterflies! After my trip to Barcelona, I've been in the Spring "mood" and itching for warmer weather. Today, I bring to you my Spring Visual Board to get you and me thinking about Spring. This is mostly a board full of my favorite visuals at the moment and things I soon want to add to my wardrobe for the impending warm weather. With a new season, especially Spring, comes a "cleaning" of sorts. Below is a sneak peek of some Spring cleaning practices I'll be implementing as the weather warms up during these upcoming couple of weeks. Donate clothing that I no longer want/wear: This is important, especially since I'm on the move towards a more cultivated closet. It makes no sense for me to keep clothes in my wardrobe that I don't wear, are falling apart (just realized that my Nike Airs have a hole in them), or could use a better home. Purge or give away unused makeup: I have started to haul a lot of makeup since being here in Italy and because of this, there are now pieces of makeup in my collection that I no longer use. I could purge these items or simply share them with friends/family. What I usually do is create a pile of gently used makeup and share them with the girls of my family at family dinners. They get to dig through my unused or gently used makeup stash and I feel happier that these products are in the hands of someone who will actually use them. Go through files on my laptop: I'd like to think that I keep a well organized laptop. I have hardly anything on my Desktop and most things are stored in a nicely labeled file folder. This makes it so easy for me to locate a file and keep everything in it's designated place. I think it's important for not only you, but your computer's storage to go through your files and trash things that are only taking up space -- much like I would do with my clothes closet (see #1). Delete old numbers, transfer pictures, backup iPhone: Because my storage is close to full on my iPhone, I have to constantly delete things on my phone that I simply do not use. This actually puts me in a good habit of keeping my phone clean and minimal. I try to transfer pictures to a designated file on my laptop whenever I remember and I delete numbers from my phone that I don't use. This allows me to create some space to be able to backup my phone so that when I get a new phone, the process will be seamless. And that's just a bit of what I do. Other things include: doing laundry; throwing away expired toiletries; and actually clean your space, your body and your mind. Happy ~almost~ Spring!
