This time of year is ALWAYS exciting for me! We are right on the cusp of new life springing up everywhere (and maybe even in our homes ) and beautiful bright and cheerful colour popping back into our lives.

I will admit we were a bit spoiled in Ontario this winter, which doesn’t often happen…but, hey I’ll take it! However, even though we had milder temperatures than usual and a lack of snow we still had ”winter”, so my excitement still VERY much exists for spring.

This year the wardrobe/personal preperation and transition into spring is a bit more difficult as I myself will be transitioning ( *hint* see bracketed comment in opening). That hasn’t stopped me from going through my wardrobe and figuring out, which pieces I think I will still be able to work with as I work my way down and it definitely does not stop me from reviewing cosmetic/make-up trends for spring/summer 2012.

Infact I actually took advantage of a bonus point offer this weekend at Shopper’s and treated myself (let’s face it not much money has been or will be spent on myself for awhile very shortly) to a gorgeous new face pallet, eyeshadow pallet and a couple lipglosses all in soft pearly pastel and nude shades (the two spring/summer 2012 trends in makeup I think will work best for me this year).

I am also excited trying to figure out what I want to plant this year in our front garden…although it is still quite a bit early to actually do any planting, my vision planning has already started. Yes, I am excited!

What about you? What trends are you thinking about adding to your wardrobe and makeup drawer this year? What excites you most about spring? Any exciting plans or events specifically for this year?

Let me know!

Love,
Shannon
