Hey lovely! 

Let’s take a moment to soak in the sunshine, feel the warm breeze, and appreciate the beautiful blooming flowers of abundance around us. Ahh, it’s officially that time of year! Spring has sprung, and summer is just around the corner. Do you know what that means? It’s time to embrace your soft girl era like never before.

I don’t know about you, but for me, there’s just something about this time of year that is softness – from the gentle pastel colors of the flowers to the flowy dresses and skirts that are yearning to be worn. It’s like nature herself is inviting us to step into our soft life and embrace all things feminine and dreamy.

So let’s make a pact right here, right now that this summer will be our season of softness. Let’s rid ourselves of winter worries and focus on filling our days with moments of joy, beauty, and self-care.

First Things First, Let’s Talk Style

Say goodbye to those heavy coats or chunky sweaters. It’s time to lighten up our wardrobes with soft, airy fabrics with delicate prints. Think flowy sundresses, fluttery skirts, and lightweight blouses in perfect shades of blush pink, baby blue, or lavender. Embrace your inner earth goddess by letting your style reflect the dreamy, romantic vibe of the season!

This season is great for adding those extra special steps to your self-maintenance rituals as well so that you always look your most polished self. Some of these include:

• Biweekly Mani/Pedis- I’ve been loving the look of acrylic overlay over my natural nails in French, fire engine red, or soft pink. For the piggies, when in doubt you can never go wrong with all white! 
• Haircare- It’s the perfect time to try the latest trend or stick to a classic like knotless braids if you plan to travel. Whatever you choose, ensure that you are protecting your hair from chlorine and keeping it moisturized. I plan to get boho braids in a few weeks as I’ve been in my silk press season for far too long (I couldn’t help it, my colorist lifted my highlights to the perfect shade of early 2000s Queen Bey)  
• Makeup- Tinted moisturizers or alphabet creams (bb/cc) are a great alternative to traditional foundation during the hotter months! They won’t clog your pores like traditional foundations and offer lighter coverage. Not to mention they have numerous benefits for your skin such as antioxidants and hylauronic acid! 

And of course, we can’t forget about skincare. With the sun shining brighter and the days getting longer, now is the perfect time to give our skin some extra love and attention. Treat yourself to a pampering skincare routine filled with hydrating serums, nourishing moisturizers, and of course, don’t forget the SPF! After all, nothing says soft girl like a radiant, glowing complexion. 

It’s Not Just A Look

But embracing the soft girl era isn’t just about how we look – it’s also about how we feel and how we treat ourselves. So, let’s commit to prioritizing self-care, which is self-love this season. The main thing I love about this time of year is the benefits we gain from Mother Earth naturally. We have beautiful sunshine + greenery all around us to charge and refuel our souls. Go for a morning jog or have a yoga session by a sunny window. Visit your local farmer’s market to enjoy all of the delicious seasonal produce. If you’re on a weight loss journey this is the perfect time of year for fruit cleansing/juicing. 

 

Embrace The Soft Life

Whether taking a stroll through the park, having a beach day with the kiddos, or simply taking a moment to breathe and appreciate the beauty around you, make time for the things that bring you joy and make your heart happy. It’s the loveliest time to try new hobbies, socialize, and make new friends. Or, for the singles… like the garden rose bushes all around us, we can allow romance to bloom.  

And finally, let’s remember to spread a little kindness wherever we go. Whether it’s complimenting a stranger on their outfit, lending a listening ear to a friend in need, or simply smiling at passersby, let’s be the embodiment of femininity, softness, and warmth in a world that is sometimes cold.

So, my loves, are you with me? Let’s embrace the soft life to make this the season of love, light, and all things sweet. Here’s to embracing our inner soft goddess by letting her shine brighter than ever before!

With love and sunshine,
