#socialbloggers 58 // It’s Spring!

A big thank you goes out to Jess for hosting this weeks #socialbloggers chat and coming up with the questions. Please do check out her blog Jessica in your Ear.

I started the title of this as IT’S EASTER. I must be drunk. It feels weird to be talking about Spring now that Easter has been and gone. But Spring is finally here and everyone loves it.

It’s a new start – it’s light until past 8pm, it’s sunny and you can go out without a coat on. What’s not to like about that?

As much as I love winter, the last few weeks have been pretty dull. I like icy mornings, I like snow, I like the contrast of a warm house with the winter evenings but what I don’t like is wind, rain and having to de-ice my car before I set of to work at 5am.

So when Spring comes along, it definitely brings with it a boost of energy, inspiration and life. And baby lambs.

So hello, Spring, how are you?

Q1: Now looking ahead to Spring. What are your favourite things about Spring?

 

@JessInYourEar a1 I like the bright colors and the perfect weather #socialbloggers also, strawberries are in season!

@JessInYourEar A1) I cant narrow it down but somewhere between the weather flowers and spring fashion #SocialBloggers — Rufaro (@girlonthebenchh) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar A1 ) has to be long days and the baby animals! #socialbloggers

— Bekaah Rose (@iBekaaaahRose) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar Definitely the start of the warmer weather. It’s really nice not to constantly have to wear a jacket #socialbloggers — Sharon (@StargazyEyes) April 11, 2015

A1: I love how sweet everything is this time of year- sun shines, people are happier, days are longer, weathers warmer. #socialbloggers

— Amanda Bootes (@AmandaBootes) April 11, 2015

I love spring because hopefully its nice and sunny but not too warm, you can lose the jumpers and go pastel crazy! #socialbloggers — Eloise (@MallowBeauty) April 11, 2015

A1: I love floral prints, new flowers and a cheery summer feeling about spring  #socialbloggers

— Noor Unnahar (@Noor_Unnahar) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar a1. The only thing I’m looking forward to is more time to take blog photos, the light in winter kills me #socialbloggers — Kelly Palmer (@TheVeganTaff) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar Oooh and being able to sit outside and read! I love chilling and reading in the garden #socialbloggers

— Sharon (@StargazyEyes) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar Leaving work whilst it’s still light. Feeling like you have a longer evening even though you don’t! #socialbloggers — Lou (@naturallybeige) April 11, 2015

A1: I love the sun! I also love how you’re able to start wearing summer dresses and not have to wear tights! #socialbloggers

— Tabitha (@TabithaBeckett_) April 11, 2015

Q2: Do you ever Spring clean? What do you have planned this year?

 

A2. In the middle of spring-cleaning now actually! Gave away lots of old clothes, books, & homeware… #socialbloggers @JessInYourEar — Posh, Broke, & Bored (@jasiminne) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar a2 I don’t really spring clean. What do people usually clean out besides the closet? #socialbloggers

— Ayre (@ariannecruz07) April 11, 2015

A2: I spring clean every few months. I hate clutter- in my house and in my life. #socialbloggers — Amanda Bootes (@AmandaBootes) April 11, 2015

A2: I always find myself cleaning my bedroom (usually because its always a mess) #socialbloggers

— Tabitha (@TabithaBeckett_) April 11, 2015

I started a spring clean with my wardrobe this morning but then I got distracted and now my room is a mess!  #socialbloggers — Donalyn Twinkle (@lovefromtwinkle) April 11, 2015

A2. …changed the art around in my flat, did some DIY, and I’ve got a cleaner coming in on Monday! x #socialbloggers @JessInYourEar

— Posh, Broke, & Bored (@jasiminne) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar not really. I clean stuff out throughout the year but don’t have any specific times to do so. #socialbloggers — Apoorva (@tea_and_music) April 11, 2015

A2: New spring plans, is adopting a little hamster (thats the plan anyway) #socialbloggers

— Tabitha (@TabithaBeckett_) April 11, 2015

A2: planning a trip to Venice this year! & hopefully meeting up with some new bloggers before the years up. #socialbloggers — Amanda Bootes (@AmandaBootes) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar I do like a bit of a spring clean. Clearing out clothes and other stuff I don’t use anymore. #socialbloggers

— Sara Steele (@sarasteeletweet) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar I’ve done it this year, it kind of coincided with the house move so was quite handy #socialbloggers — Sharon (@StargazyEyes) April 11, 2015

I dont really have a full Spring clean, more of a Summer clear out, but I update my room for Spring #socialbloggers

— Eloise (@MallowBeauty) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar a2. I’m trying to spring clean this weekend, but am getting distracted by the new make-up I forgot I bought #socialbloggers — Kelly Palmer (@TheVeganTaff) April 11, 2015

A2.I love a spring clean! For us this year it is throwing out everything we haven’t needed since we moved in 3 months ago!  #socialbloggers

— Lou (@naturallybeige) April 11, 2015

Q3: Do you have any Spring cleaning tips? My rule is that an item must match with at least 3 others in my wardrobe to stay!

 

@JessInYourEar mine too but I really want to get through it because the clothes in there have so much potential #socialbloggers — Rufaro (@girlonthebenchh) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar mine too but I really want to get through it because the clothes in there have so much potential #socialbloggers

— Rufaro (@girlonthebenchh) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar I think if I didn’t wear it last spring it goes out. That goes for clothing and makeup 😉 #socialbloggers — Sharon (@StargazyEyes) April 11, 2015

Yes. Be brutal. If you haven’t used it in 3 months bin it @JessInYourEar #socialbloggers

— Luke Sam Sowden (@lukesamsowden) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar “Have you worn it in the last year”? No- throw. #socialbloggers — Amanda Bootes (@AmandaBootes) April 11, 2015

A3. If you have to think about whether you need it… you dont need it. Brutal but effective #socialbloggers @JessInYourEar

— Alison Hope (@AlleyHope) April 11, 2015

A3. If I don’t like who I was when I bought it, in the donation bin it goes! #socialbloggers @JessInYourEar — Posh, Broke, & Bored (@jasiminne) April 11, 2015

A3. Does it fit? No? Do you plan to alter it/lose weight? Not tomorrow? Donate it. #socialbloggers @JessInYourEar

— Posh, Broke, & Bored (@jasiminne) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar I think mine are do you wear it?, does it fit? and do you like it? #socialbloggers — Eloise (@MallowBeauty) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar when did you last use it? is it definitely going to be useful? is it an emotional crutch? #socialbloggers

— Rufaro (@girlonthebenchh) April 11, 2015

Q4: We bloggers love our natural light! What are you excited to blog about now the days are getting longer?

 

@JessInYourEar a4. I want to blog more about product reviews that I’ve been putting off for a while #socialbloggers — Ayre (@ariannecruz07) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar maybe more outfit photos out on the streets! PICTURES WITH FLOWERS! #socialbloggers

Q5: What inspires you about Spring? I’m excited to start incorporating flowers into everything!

@JessInYourEar Light. Light colours, light clothing, light eating. Its all so uplifting and refreshing. #socialbloggers

— Amanda Bootes (@AmandaBootes) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar I just have a more positive look on everything! I worry that my blogging might be negative during the winter #socialbloggers — Lizzy Cox (@LizzysLuggage) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar A5) The flowers and springlike music which makes me want to wear cute outfits and frolick in fields #socialbloggers

— Rufaro (@girlonthebenchh) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar it’s just really nice to be able to go out and do more! #socialbloggers — Kel (@kellovestea) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar I love the weather and the flowers and the nature and the colors and it’s my favorite time of the year!! #socialbloggers — Zoe (@ZoesSecretStyle) April 11, 2015

@JessInYourEar It inspires me to experiment with brighter colours in both my outfit and makeup #socialbloggers

— Coloursofarose (@coloursofarose) April 11, 2015

A5. The pastel colours of Spring; cherry blossoms, soft (not too bright) light, beige trenchcoats, mint green #socialbloggers @JessInYourEar — Posh, Broke, & Bored (@jasiminne) April 11, 2015

I love spring because the days get warmer and the nights become brighter, the perfect combo for taking outfit photos! #socialbloggers

— Donalyn Twinkle (@lovefromtwinkle) April 11, 2015

@AlleyHope I definitely think it can have the same boost as January for that ‘new start’ feeling #socialbloggers — Jessica (@JessInYourEar) April 11, 2015
