Anyone else feel a lot better when they are tan? It’s actually incredibly common to feel better about yourself when you have a bit of a tan. It can boost confidence and make you feel better about your appearance.

The ultimate spring activity for adults… spring cleaning.

Before you click away, hear me out! Spring cleaning can actually be really satisfying and fulfilling.

Find something fun and lighthearted to binge-watch this spring. Gossip Girl, FRIENDS, and Emily in Paris are some of my personal favorite light-hearted, mindless shows. When in doubt, scroll Hulu or HBOMax for some great TV options!

35. Spring-ify Your Wardrobe

Making the wardrobe switch from winter to spring is one of the most exciting spring activities for adults. I just LOVE seeing the fun, warm-weather clothes come out again after a cold winter. Tuck away those bulky sweaters and parkas. Bring on tank tops and shorts!

36. Start a New Skincare Routine

Skincare is so incredibly important – but so often overlooked! Start a new skincare routine as part of your adult spring activities.

Add reading to your list of spring activities for adults. Take this as your sign to take a break from your busy schedule and lose yourself in a good book.

Who says you can’t throw a party “just because”? It’s spring! That’s all the reason you need! Invite over a few loved ones and have a springtime bash – complete with spring food, spring games, spring clothing, and spring decor! (Give me a call if you do this one… this sounds fun!)
