There's something about the warm weather that is so refreshing. We've spent a lot of time in our rooms and houses this year, so take the time to reset it for the upcoming year. The best and more important part is that spring cleaning can be as intense or casual as you want. If you're looking for a place to start, here are some of my go-to spring cleaning tasks that can totally upgrade your mood and space.
Make a list of everything you want to get done

I've definitely started too many projects at once and then was left scrambling to finish them. Avoid that problem by writing down everything you want to get done during spring cleaning and don't feel like you have to do everything all at once.
Pack away your winter clothes

Put your sweatshirts and sweatpants in bins and you'll be impressed by the amount of room you have for cute spring outfits.
Get rid of your old makeup and products

Wipe surfaces down

Be honest about what clothes you're going to wear

If you've owned something for a long time and you never worn it, that's probably not going to change anytime soon so donate or up-cycle it instead.
Get rid of the applications you never use

Rearrange your drawers

Write down your goals for the new season

This will help you stay on top of everything for the long haul. Make sure to jot it down in your planner or on your phone so you see it often.
