5 Ways to Make the Most of a Spring Snow Day

via

March has decided to bring more snow along with it! We have gotten more snow overnight than the past few snowstorms combined, and I am getting to the point in the winter where as soon as I see sunshine, I want to put on a t-shirt and banish all my turtlenecks to storage.

If you have a snow day today like the one that's happening in my town, here are few ways to keep yourself dreaming of spring even in the cold.

Give yourself an at-home manicure and paint your nails a bright, springy color. Manicures are hard to maintain on a regular basis unless you get into the habit, and there is no better time to start than now! Pick out a bright red, fun blue, or pastel purple to really amplify the spring vibes.

Read a book that you would normally pick up for a beach vacation. I don't often reach for fiction or beach reads in the middle of the winter, but put yourself in the mindset of warm, sunny days by grabbing a light book to read, whether it's a new pick or an old favorite.

Do an early spring cleaning and make a list of the items you need to add to your wardrobe. Hopefully in a few weeks, we'll be pulling our spring clothes out of our closets for good, so get a head start by going through what you have. Anything that doesn't "spark joy" can be put in a donate pile, and hang the rest in your closet so that it will be ready when the first warm day strikes. If you find gaps in your wardrobe once you get rid of what you no longer want, create a list of items that you need to purchase for the season.

Check in with or start your own bucket list. A day off is the perfect time to check in with your goals and see how the past two months have gone. If you haven't started a bucket list, it's also not too late. You still have 10 months left for a yearly bucket list or create a 101 in 1001 list that will last you for a few years.

Watch a movie set in the spring or summertime. Sometimes watching a movie or show is the best way to escape our current weather for something different. There are so many great movies with spring or summer settings, and watching something on TV is the best kind of luxury to enjoy during a day off.
