Hallo allerseits,

Ihr wollt die ersten Frühlingsgefühle wecken und etwas mehr Frische in eure Tage bringen - dann auf jeden Fall weiterlesen, denn dieses Post ist wie macht für euch! 

Ich stelle euch 15 tolle Möglichkeiten und Aktivitäten vor, die euch in der nächsten Zeit in Frühlingsstimmung bringen. Selbst die kleinen Dinge machen einen großen Unterschied und sorgen für gute Laune! 

Blossom by blossom the spring begins. 

Welche Aktivitäten macht ihr im Frühling am liebsten? Und worauf freut ihr euch? Lasst es mich in den Kommentaren wissen! Für mich ist die Wahl ganz einfach: Draußen an der frischen Luft im Garten oder im Park. Wenn es euch genauso geht, dann habe ich noch einen klasse Tipp für euch. Denn was gibt es besseres als nach einem langen Tag noch die letzten Sonnenstrahlen zu genießen - und das am besten so bequem wie möglich. Hört sich gut an? Finde ich auch und besonders überzeugt bin ich da von Hängematten mit Gestell. Durch das Gestell ist das Ganze sehr flexibel und man kann die Matte je nach Sonnenlage ausrichten. Besser geht es meiner Meinung nach nicht! 

What do you associate spring with? In my opinion, spring is the season of new beginnings and the nature around us comes alive again!
  

Eat in season

The first point is almost self-explanatory: Make sure to fill your kitchen with all the ingredients that spring has to offer. You will not only support your local production, but the spring produce will bring great taste to you. Spring fruits include blood orange, banana and berries. When it comes to spring vegetables you should fill your grocery bag with asparagus, spinach and leek.

Flower it up

Spring is the time of blooming flowers. Make sure to brighten your rooms at home with some fresh spring blooms. The bright and colorful bouquets will make you smile! Flowers which are in season in the month of April are Daffodils, Tulips, Sweet Pea and Peonies.

Juice it up

Spring and a fresh juice, a perfect combination! Enjoy the delicious spring fruit and fresh veggies in a juice or smoothie. Makes it easy to put spring in a glass full of blended deliciousness! Below you will find three amazing juice ideas that can be enjoyed in no time. Simply blend the ingredients and let me know which of the three juices is your favorite!

Clean it up

Nothing new here, but a good spring clean can be healing. Remember those cupboards that remain deep and dark hidden in the back of your kitchen? Or the closet that would definitely need a deep spring clean? Time has come to take action and to clean your pantry, your room and more! I would suggest putting on a music playlist with a good beat, opening your windows so you have a slight breeze of fresh air and dust away your worries!

Bake

Especially with Easter just around the corner, baking is a lovely activity to fill the house with some nice smells! Fill your freshly cleaned kitchen with all your baking supplies and prepare some delightful treats for family and friends. Some healthy carrot cake muffins are on my list of baking ideas! 

Stretch it out

Celebrate the spring season with some yoga exercises. Spring is the time for cleansing body and mind and yoga is one of the most enjoyable ways to do so. Yoga relives toxins and is a great way to de-stress. Yoga will help you to train mindfulness, to continuously reflect and to renew. Just as the spring clean of your house, yoga can be seen as a way of cleaning your body.

Garden at your home

Once the first rays of sunshine reach your balcony or terrace the time is just right to embrace your inner gardener. Explore how a tiny seed can grow in into a living plant. If you should have little space I would suggest planting sprouts, as a small pot is already enough for them. 

Wake and rise 

As spring time approaches the morning light will fill your bedroom. If possible I would suggest to wake up early and start the day on a productive note. Take a few minutes to clear your mind and to write down a few points you would like to achieve that day. Starting the day with a To-Do list will make sure that your mindset works proactively and you already have a slight structure for the coming hours. In my opinion, small but consistent morning rituals are also a nice way to start the day productively. Make your bed, write your To-Do list and enjoy a delicious breakfast. 

Water 

Staying hydrated keeps balance in the metabolism of your body. Blood sugar levels are controlled, headaches can be prevented and healthy skin is promoted. To increase the amount of water you are currently drinking you can set yourself reminders and a daily goal, which you would like to reach. Small ways and changes, such as drinking a glass of water before each meal and replacing other drinks with water make a great difference. 

Seek a rainbow 

A fun activity for the month of April would be to go on the hunt to shoot a picture of a rainbow. Especially in the month of April you will be more likely to shoot such a picture, as spring is also known as the season for two weather extremes. The upcoming spring season therefore brings the ideal temperatures to go on first outdoor adventures during the day, whereas the mornings are rather chilly and cold. 

Go for a quick run 

A nice run through the blooming forest will release a bunch of endorphins. A quick run is great to not only improve your mood significantly, but also your sleep. Furthermore you will have the opportunity to release some excess energy. Running is a great sport, as you will not need a lot of equipment and you can simply tie your running shoes and off you go! 

Send a card

I can for sure list some of the reasons for why you should sit down right now and write some lovely handwritten cards for your family and friends. First of, I think Easter is definitely a great festivity to start sending out some cards. Another reason, which could get you writing, is that the receiver will surely have a big smile on their face when finding your card in their letter box. It is a lovely surprise and an amazing feeling to find something unexpected in your letterbox! Written cards can be additionally kept for multiple years and the receiver will always have the chance to look back on your words! 

Picnic time

A picnic is one of the best ways to celebrate the warmer days in spring. You get to bring your loved ones, roll out a comfy blanket and enjoy some of your prepared snacks. Before the picnic, everyone should have the opportunity to suggest two or three of their favorite snack recipes. From this list you can create a tasty 'Picnic menu'. Make sure to also bring some outdoor games. Some of my all-time favorites are Viking, cards and Boccia... and I guess everyone, young and old, would be up for a few rounds of classic hide and seek!

Decorate

It is time to turn your home into a true Easter paradise. Decorating for easter is one of the most entertaining ways to welcome spring. It is easy to decorate your home with small arrangements of flowers, dyed eggs and some blooming branches. In my opinion, Pinterest is one of the best starting points when on the search for Easter crafts and decor ideas!

Nourish bowl 

Nourish bowls and spring go hand in hand! There is not a better way to enjoy some asparagus or even a suit bowl. Nourish bowl are packed with nutrients and vitamin dense foods. A healthy spring-inspired nourish bowl could be with quinoa, sweet potato, asparagus, spinach and a lemon tahini dressing! Topped could the bowl be with some sprouts and sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Enjoy!
