Spring Clean Your Life!

   Although the weather in some parts of the states would hint otherwise, today marked the first day of Spring! And what does that mean? Spring cleaning of course! I have to admit, I am NOT a fan of actual cleaning, but because of the seasonal change, I know my allergies are going to go crazy. Thus, I am practically forced to clean my room at LEAST once a week. This isn't something I naturally look forward to, but I'm on a mission to make it fun! 
   This brings me to my Spring cleaning mission. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be doing posts on not only cleaning up my room, but doing an overhaul on my life and I want you guys to join me! I've been feeling a little down lately (winter blues maybe?) so I figured this would be a great jumpstart to getting back on track! 

   What exactly am I going to be "cleaning" you ask?



1. Surroundings


Yes, this means cleaning my room, but it also means KEEPING it clean and KEEPING organized. Did you know that having a clean, pleasant smelling room ca make you a kinder person? It's true, so get cleaning!



2. Wardrobe

Out with the old, in with the new! This is also a great way to do something good for the community by donating the clothing you're tossing to the Salvation Army.



3. Mental Health

This might be the most difficult. It's going to force you to dig deep and be 100% honest with yourself so you can push through the garbage and come out a healthier, happier person.



4. Physical Health















Yup you guessed it! You're going to have to get your bum off the couch (or bed in my case), put down the tub of Ben and Jerry's, grab an apple and get moving! 



I can't tell you guys how excited I am to begin this life cleanse with you guys! It isn't going to be quick and easy, but when is anything that's truely worth it? 
Tune in tomorrow to begin the cleaning! :)
