You are not dreaming, spring is finally here. To celebrate, we share with you some ideas to put your routine in summer time. Spring cleaning in the bathroom, natural products, inspiring podcast to listen to … sunny days inspire us!
1. Sorting out your bathroom
Spring cleaning also involves sorting in your bathroom cupboards. How many unused cosmetics are lying around in the back of your cupboards? How many products are open and already out of use? And yes, cosmetics are like food, they have an expiration date ! Their shelf life is indicated in small print on the container (generally 6 to 24 months). So this eye cream that you bought at Christmas 2015 and which has a shelf life of 6 months, we say goodbye to it. Without regrets. And we throw it away.
Reinventing your basics
Repair rather than throw away: it is an eco-responsible trend that invites itself into our wardrobes. No need to embark on a ruinous shopping spree to renew your wardrobe. The real good plan is to give a second youth to your favorite pieces . It’s true, our closet is full of pieces that we do not wear or no longer wear because the size is wrong, or because there is a small defect … The solution is to to have his clothes altered! We love the concept of the Tilli app , home alteration service. A sewing ace comes to your home to advise you and readjust a dress, hem, pimp a garment …
3. Explore the trend of natural products
Are you a fan of natural products? If not, spring is a great time to start adopt the green reflex in your daily routine . On the bathroom side, take a look at the composition of beauty products with an app like Clean Beauty . You scan the list of ingredients of a product and the app describes in a few lines the nature of each ingredient, while indicating the controversial substances.
On the home side, you can test ecological household products, some of which are very efficient. In addition to the ranges of branded products, it is interesting to rediscover the virtues of simple products such as Marseille soap or white vinegar . The best housekeepers will tell you, there’s no better way to clean your house!
4. Reinvent your breakfast
We have been telling you since childhood, it is the most important meal of the day. It is above all an opportunity to take a few minutes for yourself before entering the whirlwind of his day. Are you bored of the endless coffee baguette duo? Discover other horizons for your breakfast: journalist and blogger Lili Barbery just published the book “Pimp my breakfast” bringing together around fifty gourmet, healthy and creative recipes to reinvent breakfast. We are already dreaming of our future spring granolas, made with good fresh fruit … Take your teaspoons!
5. Plan (concretely) time for yourself
Let’s talk about organization. Your agenda is probably overwhelmed with appointments. You carefully write down medical visits, team meetings at work, family dinners. Yet you have forgotten the essential: you. Why not also nothing slot planning for you? It can be a massage at home, a solo stroll to admire the first spring flowers, or a quiet evening in front of your current series or to read a good book. Just dare to plan this two hour time slot noting it black on white , without feeling guilty. And it is because you will take time for yourself that you will be operational for all the other appointments. CQFD.
6. Open your ears wide
Being curious means having your eyes wide open, but that’s not all! At this moment, our ears too are solicited with the big podcast trend . They have been around for several years, but in recent months they are more popular than ever. There are some on all subjects: personal development, work, parenthood, travel, beauty … Thanks to podcasts, we can use our travel times to enrich our knowledge, relax and boost our creativity.
Listen for example The powder , a feminist podcast that has largely contributed to the popularity of this radio genre. Beauty side, the Beauty Toaster goes to meet professionals in the fields of cosmetics and well-being. And for a good dose of anything but futile fashion inspiration, we plug in Cloth which gives voice to personalities and anonymous people on their relationship to clothing.
Make the most of the sunny days, and don’t forget to think of you!
