3 Ways to Celebrate the First Day of Spring

published 1 March 2010

1. Streamline your look

Bulky sweaters and dark makeup colors are no longer needed! Celebrate the season with sleek and simplified pieces and by bringing out your natural beauty. Besides, who doesn't want a reason to do some spring shopping?

2. Make a fresh start

We know, we know -- it's definitely not the highlight of our day either, but spring cleaning doesn't always mean picking up a dust buster. When's the last time you thought about how old your mascara is? Or when you last cleaned your makeup brushes? And haven't you been meaning to get rid of the untouched clothes in the back of your closet? Now is as good a time as any and you will feel so relieved once you're done.

3. Save some green
