Spring cleaning is a natural ‘rite of passage’ between winter and summer and leaves one feeling extremely satisfied and accomplished. But after that initial high, you’re left wondering what else there is to get sorted – luckily it doesn’t have to end there!
Zaweer Ebrahim, Brand Manager for Playgirl, says that this long-standing custom entails much more than just organizing your home. “Consider all the places in your life you may declutter in order to make room for the new.” He goes on to say that cleaning your life doesn’t just mean getting rid of the routines, things, and clutter that don’t make you feel your best; it also means replenishing with the things that make you feel good.
Ebrahim shares five of his favourite tips that will put a spring in your new summery self:
1. Get Outside
Get outside and give Mother Nature the respect she deserves when the sun is shining, birds are chirping, and flowers are growing. Put your phone away and plan some enjoyable outdoor activities like gardening, enjoying an ice cream, strolling on the beach, or planning a romantic picnic in the park.
2. Digital Detox
It’s time to set technology aside and remove anything that is cluttering your life or causing you to overthink and overwork. Everything on your computer, phone, tablet, and social media. Delete all applications, contacts, photographs, etc that don’t contribute to your positive outlook. Unfriend, unfollow, and unlike undesirable pages and people. Fill your social media feeds with uplifting individuals and brands that make you feel love and light!
3. Unsubscribe
If you haven’t read those daily, weekly, or monthly newsletters in the last six months, delete them. Simply put, these newsletters and communications only add clutter to your inbox.
4. Feel Good Fragrance
Your choice of fragrance can reveal a lot about who you are. You can leave diverse impressions and let people perceive you in different ways depending on the scent you are wearing. With hints of sun-kissed lime and fresh litchi, VIP New York Nights by Playgirl is summer in a bottle
5. Reconnect
Friendship is an important part of our lives, but sometimes our busy, on-the-go lifestyles get in the way of these relationships. Making time for the people we cherish is crucial, and this includes our friendships. You can feel better and enjoy a nice change of pace from the chaos by catching up and reconnecting with pals. Additionally, it does wonders to reduce tension!
