It's already April and it feels like Christmas is a week away. Are you tired of experiencing all four seasons in one day? I know I am. Personally, I have had enough with the winter chills, I would like the sun to come out and stay out. Well, while your waiting for that sweltering heat, here are some ways to make it feel like its actually spring and not the dead of winter.
1) Turn your space heater up all the way, put on your favorite bikini and lay out next to your heater. It will make you feel like your at the beach getting a tan, when in reality, the outside weather could give you frost bite.
2) Start wearing sunglasses outside, cute sunglasses always come out during the spring/summer time, this will keep you hopeful for the weather to start matching your look.
3) Wear bright colors. Pastels and highlighter colors always come out during the spring season, get a head start and sport your favorite highlighter crop top, with some jeans. It will give you a reminder that soon you can wear that crop top with shorts. Also, bright colors make you happy in general.
4) Switch to ice coffee. People drink iced beverages in the warmer months, so instead of a morning dark roast, try iced instead.
5) Make an indoor barbecue. Why wait till the 4th of July to grill out, grill hot dogs at home on the stove top.
6) Make fresh fruit smoothies. There is nothing better than a refreshing smoothie on a hot day. However, you don't have to wait start making them now!
7) Treat yourself. The summer is all about doing activities that are fun and that you don't get to do during the busy school year. Plan an activity you would normally only do on break once a week. maybe have a movie night, or a bonfire, an indoor picnic? Or a spa day!
The summer time means less stress and higher spirits. The temperature does have something to do with your happiness levels, however, it only does because it creates a certain mood. Start creating that mood now and associate these summer activities all year round. Before you know it the weather will match your mood, and your summer will be in full swing.
