beautiful flowers are everywhere!
I love Springtime! The days are longer and I feel inspired! Spring is a great time to re-invent yourself and freshen up your home, wardrobe and make more time for yourself to enjoy life. We all have our favorite things to do once the weather warms up. What’s your favorite adventure during warm weather?
Flowers are a huge part of spring; they are blooming everywhere during this time of year and they are magnificent! It’s so nice to see the bees buzzing from flower to flower! I missed them during the winter. The citrus is blossoming too, have you smelled the orange blossoms? Wow!! They are one of my most favorite scents in the whole world and they are an essential oil called neroli. It is truly heavenly!
Spring cleaning is in the air! Did you know that you can use essential oils to clean your home? Lemon, eucalyptus and pine are very popular. Another alternative is good old fashioned lemon juice and baking powder. Diluted white vinegar is another great cleaner for counter tops and windows. They are a safe healthy alternative.
Do you like to clean? When I clean I feel like I am in a slightly meditative space and it feels like I am cleaning up many parts of my life not just my home, wardrobe or garden. It’s easy to be in that space, clearing and creating as you clean. Mother Nature has cycles that support trees and flowers to drop old flowers, branches and what no longer serves, and then allows room for new green growth to blossom and expand and the same is true for us. So enjoy the new green growth and space you have created to have more of what you would like in your life!
Validating yourself and all that you do is important. Self love and nurturing is not easy for some of us. A good way to honor yourself is by relaxing and taking a warm bath. You can create a beautiful environment with candles, a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Lavender is soothing, jasmine is intoxicating and wonderful to smell or add a golden earth chakra oil to your bath. Mmm! What a wonderful way to love yourself. It seems that honoring ourselves gets lost in the mix of our busy lives, so take time out for yourself.
Meditation is another easy way to create space and time for yourself. Find true balance and allow yourself time to be you !
Happy spring clearing and honoring!
