Get in the Spring Spirit

Get in the Spring Spirit

By Sophie Smith 

As warm days occupy the week once more, we embrace the familiar signs of springtime. As a symbolic way of opening the cupboards and sweeping away the cobwebs of winter, here are some colorful and fun additions for the upcoming season. 

For students, spring break is right around the corner, and nothing screams spring like a new swimsuit. Viral TikToker Strawberry Milk Mob is the creator of a family-run business that sells unique bikini silhouettes and prints. The brand also offers matching swim trunks so everyone can work on their tan in style.

To create the perfect ambiance for sunbathing, here are some songs and albums on the horizon. Country artist Kacey Musgraves recently dropped two singles, โ€œToo Good to be Trueโ€ and โ€œDeeper Well,โ€ which is the title of her upcoming album, dropping March 15. Another highly anticipated album coming this spring is Taylor Swiftโ€™s The Tortured Poets Department out April 19.

A floral bouquet adds a fresh pop to any space and celebrates the bounty of springtime. Hand-selecting an arrangement from a local florist, like @farmsteadflorals for Oxford residents, or any kind of wildflowers growing near you, is an enjoyable way to spend time. Play around with different vases and voliร  โ€“ a seasonally fitting centerpiece.

Since your Vitamin D intake will naturally increase with the reappearance of the sun, you should make sure you are getting enough of all of the daily essentials. Fresh orange juice, not from concentrate, is a loaded source of Vitamin C. Brands like Natalie's and Uncle Matt's, are one-ingredient juices that will quench your thirst during these warming days and make you feel good. 

Another way to increase serotonin is with scents. As the sense of smell is very influential for our moods, try a new scent this spring. Kylie Jenner is launching her debut fragrance โ€œCosmicโ€ on March 7. The entrepreneur posted to her Instagram the opening, heart, and base notes of the perfume as well as a general description, describing the scent as a โ€œsweet, warm floral.โ€

Springtime fills everyone with glee. The world is on the cusp of longer hours of sunlight and blooming fields. There is so much to look forward to this season, in nature and among the fashion, entertainment, and cosmetic industries.
