There's something palpable in the air when the seasons change, and the transition from winter to spring feels extra special. Temperatures rise and we get reacquainted with our friend Vitamin D, the hills turn green, and wildflowers start to speckle the sides of the road.
We've certainly noticed it here at the Annmarie office- the neighborhood wisteria bushes hang heavy with purple blossoms, and we've been cracking the windows just to hear the birds singing outside. Can you say dreamy?

Springing Forward
Springtime energy manifests in many different ways: some take time for personal growth or starting new projects, others take advantage of the sun and get outside. Leaving space for ritual and stopping to smell the roses (literally) is one of our favorite ways to take on the season with intention and gratitude.
We asked our Annmarie Skin Care community how they honor the changing of the season with a favorite springtime ritual— here are four of our favorite answers.
What's Your Favorite Spring Ritual?
“My favorite springtime ritual is putting my face into as many Lilac bushes as possible while they are blooming! The BEST!”
Michele M. from El Cajon, CA
“I reorganize my closet, purging any items that no longer serve me. I find items that have been hidden and unloved and re-invent them. I give away items that are ready for a fresh start.”
Karen P. from Santa Rosa Beach, FL
“My springtime ritual? With the new blooms every spring I feel inspired to pick up my camera and capture all the natural beauty of the Earth.”
Erin J. from Bowdon, GA
“Our springtime regime is all about living and loving more and hustling less! Being a stay at home homeschooling mom of 4 kids are lives are busy. This spring there will be a break from sports and more days spent at parks, planting flowers, loving on other people and enjoying each other as a family!”
