Self Care Ideas for Spring

A Change in Season

Spring is a lovely yearly reminder that the seasons are always changing.  The cold winter is finally saying goodbye, and the sun is shining once again!  Spring cleaning is a tradition that holds its roots amongst a number of different cultures, and a 2018 survey found that 76% of us practice it every single year.  So, why wouldn’t we take advantage of this motivational surge of energy and rejuvenate our bodies and minds as well?  It’s time for us to open up the windows, shake out the rugs, and properly prepare ourselves to transition into the warm summer days ahead.  Now, here are a few personal-refreshment ideas we pulled together for you to try this spring!

Illuminate Your Tresses

It is the perfect time for a fresh start. Whether that may be switching up your look, or sorting through your cabinets to freshen up your hair product selection – revamping a hairstyle is an easy and celebratory way to bring in the new spring season. Transform your hair with a brighter style by opting for a new color, trimming away wispy breakage, or adding in a few layers.  The winter winds are harsh so if your hair needs extra love and care, then head on over to Bella Vita Spa & Salon and treat yourself to a hair-lift from one of our expert stylists.  A healthy new shine will lighten up the overall appearance of your hair.  And if you’d like some additional charm, we also specialize in the service of eyelash extensions and brow tinting. We hope you venture out and try something new this spring! Take a look at these amazing transformations:

Out with the Old

As a result of chilly winter weather, the luminosity of your skin may be lacking. To get your glow back, you can try exfoliating. Exfoliation is simply the process of removing dead skin cells from the skin’s outermost layer, and it is extremely beneficial for your dermal health. Set an hour aside to treat yourself to an aromatic body scrub from one of our trained massage therapists at Bella Vita Spa & Salon. It would be our pleasure to help you shed that winter skin. You’ll get to decide which of our salt scrub fragrances you find the most uplifting: Papaya Pineapple, Mandarin Orange or Pink Grapefruit. Vibrant skin is our specialty and we would absolutely love to take care of you!

Declutter Your Mind

“When your room is clean and uncluttered, you have no choice but to examine your inner state.” – Marie Kondo

It’s easy enough to identify that living in a constant state of clutter isn’t exactly healthy.  When something becomes out of balance internally, it tends to portray itself in external disarray.  While a spirit of spring cleaning is in the air, it’s all too easy to see the messes that need to be picked up around instead of looking within to address the source of the problem (e.g., excessive disorganization).

A healthy mind and a healthy heart are absolutely necessary for a balanced life, and there’s no shame in taking inventory of the state your emotions and mental vitality. If you’ve set your mind towards being more put together and tidy this springtime, then start by tidying up your thoughts.  This can be as simple as setting one achievable goal.  Limit your daily screen time, get outside for a daily walk and a breath of fresh air (since it’s getting warmer after all!), and invest in a self-care routine with the help of our team here at Bella Vita Spa & Salon.  Remind yourself that you deserve everything you’re working towards.

So, in the next few weeks when you’re on your way to get your garden prepared, or you find yourself standing in your closet deciding which clothes to stow away until next winter, try to remember to include yourself in this annual season of refreshment.  You can click here to book your appointment at Bella Vita Spa and Salon and join us as we welcome in the new season.
