Spring is not as far away as it may seem! A lot of you are probably still in the state of deep hibernation, because of the long nights and lack of sun. Here, where I live, however, almond trees already have the prettiest flowers on…and, though very remotely, I can smell the spring in the air – so inspiring, so awakening! Time to start waking up and looking for bright updates that will make you even more beautiful!

What do you get inspired by? Nature is the ultimate inspiration for all of us. The way it renews itself, the way it changes colours, the way it allows everything to start growing again. Spring influences the way we feel and the way we want to look. Is it time to switch the grim grays to optimistic, full- of- live shades of different colours? Absolutely! Bring the splashes of sunshine on!

Have you heard of Pantone Colour Institute? If you haven’t, research it. They have published a colour trends report for spring 2010. These colours are just so pretty. I am sure you will be inspired.

A shimmering, slightly greenish yellow Aurora, provocative Fusion Coral, tangy Tomato Puree and the prettiest neutrals one can imagine! Enjoy the bubbly luxury of Pink Champagne, the warm beige hue Tuscany and the ultimate green neutral Dried Herb. Eternal practical gray in Eucalyptus is a solid base, which can always be enriched with bright colours in shoes, bags and accessories.

I personally am very inspired by these colours and so ready to incorporate some of the colourful ideas into my spring wardrobe.

Spring is not just the time to change your wardrobe. It is time to “change your skin” too. You must have heard that winter adds up like 10 years to one’s appearance. Lack of sun and vitamin D, cold and wind, central heating and artificial air conditioning all dry up your skin and make it look dull. Now that the spring is on its way, it’s time to revive your skin! There are a lot of great beauty products – masks, toners, moisturizers, but remember: they do not work effectively on dead skin cells.

Get rid of those nasty dead cells by exfoliating. There are a lot of fabulous exfoliators you can buy over the counter and online. Good organic ones are usually quite expensive. Well, you don
