Spring has officially sprung! It is absolutely crazy to think that spring is here, and summer is just around the corner! I have to admit that this spring has been my absolute favorite spring so far. I truly feel like I have experienced so many new things, met so many great people and have overall felt like the best possible version of myself. While I have encountered so many great things this spring, I am going to be sharing my top five spring favorites that I feel everyone should know. So let’s “hop” right into it!
1. dragon drink
Now to be completely honest, Starbucks is always my go-to. However, I have recently discovered a new drink that I absolutely love, and it is also perfect for both spring and summer! It is called the Dragon Drink. The Dragon Drink includes dragonfruit flavors, white grape juice, apple juice and coconut milk! Dragonfruit is not something that I ever thought I would be interested in, but I have to admit that it tastes so good and is very refreshing. Not to mention, it is such a gorgeous drink…definitely photo worthy. So, next time you go to Starbucks definitely give this drink a try! You won’t regret it!
2. bio-oil
Skin Care. This is something that I am so passionate about. I believe that everyone deserves to feel their best in their skin. Skin care is an essential part of both my morning and nighttime routines. One of my favorite places to shop for skin care products is Target. I recently went to Target and found one of my favorite products. It is called Bio-Oil; it does absolute wonders for my skin. This oil is made to help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. It also helps with dehydrated skin and uneven skin tones. I can confidently say that I have noticed a positive difference since using this oil. My skin glows more, is way smoother and overall just looks super healthy. The appliance of the product is also fantastic! It is so smooth and gentle to put on. A little goes a long way! I 100% recommend this product to anyone and/or everyone!
3. lush “ocean salt” face and body scrub
A couple weeks ago, I took a trip to Columbus, Ohio with one of my best friends, Matilda. While we were there, we went to the Easton Town Center and did some shopping for the day. The first store we went to was Lush. I have never actually been to Lush or purchased any products from them, but my sister has in the past, and I know that she loves them. While I wanted to buy basically everything in the store, I only ended up getting a face and body scrub in the scent “Ocean Salt.” My first time using the scrub was actually that night; I immediately fell in love with it. I know that sounds crazy, but this scrub was genuinely so amazing. Right off the bat I could feel that not only did my skin feel super smooth and healthy, but it also smelled so good as well. I have used scrubs in the past, but not on the daily. I use this scrub almost every day and I can seriously tell just how exfoliated my skin is as compared to before using this product. The container I got was honestly pretty small, so I am definitely going to be ordering another one soon.
4. flare pants
I know flare pants are something that most, if not everyone, has heard of. I recently started wearing flare pants back in November, and I was immediately hooked. My favorite place to get flare pants is Aerie. Aerie could honestly be a spring favorite on its own, but it is seriously the best. I have two flare pants from Aerie, the Offline Double Crossover Flare Leggings in black, and some high rise ones in green. While they were a little bit pricey, they are worth it. The pants are super comfortable and look amazing! Not only does Aerie have some of my favorite flare pants, but so does Shein. I know that everyone has their own opinions on Shein, but a couple weeks ago I ordered the cutest flare pants from there, and I am seriously obsessed. I do not take these pants off. They are called the Solid Drawstring Waist Wide Leg Joggers in grey. They look like something from Aerie, but they are much cheaper and super comfortable. I have also been getting a lot of compliments on them, so they are definitely cute. So go get yourself some flare leggings! Everyone deserves to have some “flare” in their life!
5. smoothies
I could drink smoothies every hour of every day if I had to. Smoothies are something that I honestly have a lot; it doesn’t matter what the season may be, but there is something about spring where smoothies just hit different. I have tried many different smoothie places, and my top two places to get smoothies are Pulp and Robeks. My go-to smoothie at Robeks is the Berry Beneficial; this drink has strawberries, blueberries, bananas, flax seeds, vanilla almond milk, agave and raspberry juice. It has been a while since I have been to Robeks because they are kind of out of the way, but this is the smoothie that I got almost every weekend last summer. It is super refreshing and literally tastes like spring. I am going to be honest, I go to Pulp very often. I love it there. I have quite a few favorite smoothies, but the one I have been getting the most is called the Elite Eight; this drink has strawberry juice, pineapple juice, strawberry, peaches, mangoes and orange sherbet. In my opinion, it almost tastes like an orange creamsicle. It is very delicious and also very addicting. You can almost never go wrong with a smoothie!
There is so much more that I could add to this list, but there are just a few of my favorites for this season! I hope that this helped someone and maybe gave some inspiration! Go get yourself a Dragon Drink and maybe even a smoothie from Pulp and enjoy the beautiful weather! You deserve it!
