March Lifestyle Ideas

•  This season's hot trend is pansies! (a la AP's new print, but IW also has a cute older print)
• Pansies remind me of violets - and Choward's Violet Mints! 
• Start incorporating spring pastels into your outfits
• Speaking of pastels, enter spring with a bang with pastel nail polish!
• Always wanted a flower or small vegetable garden but couldn't find the space or good soil? Why not a container garden? Choose fun pots or unusual containers - don't forget little garden critters!
• Straw hats are cute, but why not try a full brimmed straw sunhat - both stiff and floppy styles
• Try making new, adventurous desserts like Strawberry Mille-feuille, rose brownies or lavender macaroons
• The band The Album Leaf creates some soft, sweet music perfect for spring
• Try to take a small walk as often as you can. I recently discovered how exciting it is to watch birds chirp to other birds 
• Speaking of birds, try attracting them with a yummy blend of fresh seeds in a cute feeder. If you don't have a backyard, try a park or preserve to spot wild birds
