Spring is officially one day away, and let me tell you, I am so ready for this seasonal glow-up. Winter had me in a chokehold - dry skin, mismatched socks, and a level of exhaustion that had me wondering if my coffee pot was broken (spoiler: it wasn’t, I was just that tired). But with spring’s arrival, I’m declaring a full-on reset. 

A recharge. 

A mom-energy makeover. Because let’s be real - motherhood is a marathon, not a sprint, and if we don’t hit the refresh button every now and then, we end up running on fumes. And by "fumes," I mean those last two sips of cold coffee that we keep reheating but never actually drink. So, fashionistas, designers, and fellow exhausted mamas, let’s talk about how to tap into the magic of a Spring Reset—no extra childcare required.

Spring Clean, But Make It Chic

I don’t know about you, but the thought of "spring cleaning" makes me break out in hives. (Marie Kondo, girl, I love you, but I also fear you.) But here’s the hack - don’t do it all at once. Instead, focus on refreshing one space at a time. The key? Start with something just for you. I’m talking about your closet. The wardrobe that survived the cold months? It’s in need of a detox. Take an hour, put on your best “I’ve got my life together” playlist, and be ruthless. If it doesn’t fit, if it makes you sad, if you wouldn’t wear it to Target (the high-end Target run, you know the one), it goes. Treat yourself to a piece that screams, "I am a thriving woman with places to be!" even if those places are the school pickup line and a quick trip to Sephora.

Next Up! The Five-Minute Face Reset

Somewhere between packing lunches and breaking up sibling arguments over who touched who first, my skincare routine took a nosedive. But here’s my new spring mantra: Minimal effort, maximum glow. A quick 5-minute morning routine makes all the difference. 

My go-to? A good vitamin C serum (because radiance), a tinted moisturizer with SPF (because time is a myth), a swipe of mascara, and a lip tint that makes it look like I tried harder than I actually did. This isn’t about vanity - it’s about feeling awake enough to function without looking like I just crawled out of the Lost & Found bin.

Move Your Body (Without Hating It)

I spent all of winter saying, “I should work out” and then proceeding to do absolutely nothing. But now that spring is here, I’m all about movement that doesn’t feel like punishment. Here’s what works for me: dancing in the kitchen with the kids, walking to the coffee shop instead of driving (bonus: justifying an overpriced oat milk latte), or throwing on a 10-minute workout that actually fits into my day. The goal isn’t abs (but like, if they show up, I won’t complain), it’s energy. Because when I move my body, I’m 60% less likely to turn into a cranky tornado by 3 PM.

Seasonal Self-Care (AKA, Mom’s Version of a Spring Break)

We might not get a week off with bottomless margaritas, but we can give ourselves permission to reset. Self-care doesn’t have to be extravagant - it just has to be intentional. 

My personal favorite? A shower that isn’t rushed. A shower that doesn’t involve a tiny human barging in with urgent updates about a lost LEGO. A shower with eucalyptus hanging from the faucet, exfoliation that actually happens, and body lotion that isn’t stolen from my child’s diaper bag.

Or maybe it’s a solo Target trip (the good kind, with a cart, a coffee, and time to browse). Maybe it’s reading a book that isn’t about parenting. Whatever it is, do it. Guilt-free. Because a recharged mom is a better mom.

Saved the Best For Last -  Declutter Your Mental Space

Spring cleaning isn’t just for the home - it’s for your mind too. That means letting go of things that are draining you. Maybe it’s saying no to an obligation that doesn’t serve you. Maybe it’s finally unfollowing that one person on Instagram who makes you feel like you’re failing at life. (You’re not. She just has better lighting and a cleaning service.)

One thing I’ve learned? Boundaries are the ultimate form of self-care. So this season, I’m making space for things that fill me up instead of drain me. More joy, less guilt. More deep breaths, fewer "I should be doing more" spirals.

So here’s to the Spring Reset, my fellow moms. Here’s to brighter days, fresher mindsets, and feeling like the main character in our own lives again.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to find my sunglasses and reclaim my glow - starting with a fresh iced coffee and five uninterrupted minutes in the sun (before someone asks me for a snack).

Let’s do this, mamas. ✨
