I asked Christina to share her five favourite areas to focus on before spring arrives.
Here's what she said:

Winter is honestly the best editor you have. Whatever you didn't reach for this season, ask yourself whether it is coming with you into spring. Donate what no longer serves you and make room for lighter days ahead.
๐ฎ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฐ๐๐ฝ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ
Often ignored, but an easy way to freshen things up. Swap out the heavy winter bedding and give the shelves a quick wipe down. Fold what stays, donate what you haven't used, and let the cupboard breathe a little. I love to add a little lavender oil to my cloth when wiping out these areas.
๐ฏ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐
Check dates, clear out what has been pushed to the back, and make space for the fresh produce that spring brings. A clean pantry makes cooking feel like a pleasure again, and reduces the risk of pantry moths in the warmer months.
๐ฐ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐น๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐
Umbrellas, scarves, heavy coats and winter clutter tend to gather near the front door over the cooler months. Clear it out, put away what belongs elsewhere, making sure you launder any coats and scarves first.
๐ฑ. ๐ข๐ป๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ด๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ
I always feel extra pleased with myself when I've tackled an often overlooked area. The junk drawer. The spare room corner. The shelf you walk past every day without really looking at. Pick one. Give it twenty minutes. That one small win will carry you further than you think.
You don't need to do all five at once. One area, one afternoon, is more than enough to start feeling the shift.๐ฟ
Good advice as always, Christina. ๐
