5 Easy Ways to Add Some SPRING to Your February

5. Houseplants. Invest in a few houseplants to liven up your living room or kitchen. (Get rid of the ones that you’ve been trying to nurse back to health if there’s no hope.) Some easy to care for indoor plants include: palms, ivy, and philodendrum.

4. Flowers: A bouquet of fresh (or artificial) flowers can spruce up a house as well as a winter. Buy one for yourself or be sure to tell someone how much you’d like a bouquet.

3. Pillows: Find some bright colored pillows to add accents to your rooms. Or recover some of the older ones you have with fresh pinks, yellows, and white.

2. Posters/Pictures: Take the time to hang some pictures or posters of summer fun, flowers, beaches. They may just help you get through the month.

1. Host a Winter Luau Get-Together: February can be a long (short) month, especially since this year we have an extra day. Why don’t you plan a night for summer foods, BBQ something if you can, or serve luau types of food – sweet and sour meatballs, pineapple, ice cream. Do it on a small scale with your immediate family or throw a party with more friends and family. You maybe be surprised at how refreshing a luau-themed party in February can be.

And for those of you who live in warm areas and would like a touch of winter, be sure to visit a place that has snow – try cross-country skiing, ice skating, snowboarding. Enjoy a change of weather/seasons by finding something different to do.
