Music can shape our mood. Music can rekindle memories. Music can make us feel. Because of this, music can embody certain seasons. Making a spring playlist is a great way to get yourself pumped up for spring! You are unleashing your creativity and inspiring yourself by making your own playlist. Add songs that remind you of spring. Whether it be a song that you played nonstop a few springs ago, or a song that reminds you of flowers blooming and blue skies. Our favorite picks for a spring playlist are Noah and the Whale and Florence and the Machine. To gain some inspiration for your spring playlist, click here!

Disney movies are a year-round thing, duh. However, they're all about love and hope. Spring is the perfect time to love, find hope, gain compassion and to revive. We are all done with hibernating in our rooms with sweatpants and Netflix, so let's just watch disney movies with loved ones, dance around the living room to "I'll Make a Man Out of You," and let it inspire our souls.
5. Plan Travels

Going cross country this summer? Or perhaps on a cruise? Plan, plan, and plan some more! Get yourself excited and give yourself something to look forward to. If you're not going on a huge vacation this year, plan a road trip to a national park, a local park, or an amusement park nearby. The internet is a great tool for planning travels. A lot of the time you don't even need to go far or spend money. Check event websites for your city / state to find festivals. There are always hundreds of them each and every year.
6. Avocado Toast & Green Tea

If you haven't tried avocado toast already, now is the time! Avocado season is in it's prime. While spring is beautiful, the sudden change in weather can cause sinus issues, allergies, and headaches. Yikes. Yet avocado toast and green tea is perfect for when you're feeling under the weather. The best way to make avocado toast is with a hint of lime and a whole lot of crushed red pepper. Our favorite hot green tea: Yogi's green tea energy. With lemongrass and ginseng, it will taste like a cup full of sunsets. Our favorite iced green teas: Steaz. It comes in a cute can with a bunch of flavors, such as blueberry pomegranate Good for those who are new to the tea world! We also love Honest Tea's green tea with honey. It's organic and you can actually taste the green tea, for those who want the typical tea taste. Regardless, they're both perfect!
7. Try Something New With Your Hair
It doesn't have to be complicated. Try out a new bun, pigtails, a high pony, some type of fun braid. Take a risk and try new things! Don't be boring ol' person who's had the same hair style for their entire life. Adding a little color or getting a fresh new cut will freshen up your entire life.
8. Go On a Library Run
Get that library card out of your wallet, and revitalize yourself with some fresh new reads! Transcendentalist novels are perfect for Spring. Their work is full of beautiful prose inspired by nature, that will inspire YOU to go out into nature. Also, make sure to keep up to date with your favorite blogs and magazines.
9. Go On a Bike Ride
You gotta love putting your ear plugs in, putting a nice iced drink in your cutely decorated basket, and going for a bike ride. Enjoying the beauty of creation while getting exercise? Count me in.
