Spring Self-Care Checklist – What You Need for a Feel-Good Season

Spring is the season of renewal—a time to shake off the heaviness of winter and welcome lighter, brighter days. Just like nature is blooming, you have the chance to refresh your mindset and routine. And what better way to embrace this new season than by indulging in some much-deserved self-care?

Here’s your ultimate Spring Self-Care Checklist—filled with cozy layers, feel-good rituals, and a few essentials to help you bloom this season. 🌸

🌼 1. Start with a Cozy Layer

Self-care is NOT one size fits all. But one way I like to settle into a routine is with comfort, and nothing feels better than slipping into a soft sweatshirt that feels like a hug. Our The Good Is Now hoodie is the perfect companion for slow spring mornings and breezy afternoons. Made from ultra-soft cotton, it’s cozy without being heavy—ideal for those transitional spring days.

➡️ Style tip: Pair it with these cute wide leg pants from Halara and some slip-on sneakers for an easy, effortless look that feels just as good as it looks. (Check out this article I wrote for Conde Nast Traveler about the 17 best slip on shoes for travel.)

🍵 2. Sip Something Warm (or Refreshing!)

There’s something about a warm mug of tea or an cold beverage in your favorite vessel (I’ve always been a Hydro Flask fan) that feels like an act of self-love. Brew yourself a cup of chamomile or green tea and savor it in the sunshine.

✨ Try this: Pair your favorite springtime beverage with a good book (We Need Your Art) and a cozy blanket from [Anthropologie]—because self-care is about slowing down and savoring the moment.

🧘 3. Journal Your Intentions

While any season is a perfect time to reset your mindset and set fresh intentions, there’s something about spring that just feels HOPEFUL. Grab a journal and reflect on what you want to cultivate this season—more rest, more adventure, or maybe just more time to breathe. Check out this article I wrote for Yoga Journal about my go-to journaling technique.

💡 Mantra to try: "Everything you need, you already have." (BTW, we’ve got this on a tee if you want a wearable reminder 😉)

🌸 4. Treat Yourself to a Floral-Inspired Scent

Engage your senses with a light, fresh fragrance that reminds you of blooming flowers and spring rain. A floral candle or an essential oil blend with notes of lavender, jasmine, and bergamot can instantly lift your mood.

🌷 Recommendation: Try this spring-inspired candle, called Golden Hour, from Sparta Candle Company —it's the perfect complement to an evening of self-care.

🥾 5. Get Outside and Breathe

Nothing says self-care like a long walk through nature. The fresh air, the blooming trees, and the sound of birds chirping—it’s an instant mood booster.

🚶‍♀️ Outfit idea: Layer our Take Me to the Pines crewneck over a tank and pair it with pastel leggings and Manitobah boots. Top it off with a light jacket from L.L. Bean for those cooler spring mornings (which last into the summer here in Maine).

🎧 6. Curate a Spring Vibes Playlist

Create a playlist of feel-good songs that match the energy of spring. Think mellow acoustic tunes mixed with upbeat tracks that make you want to dance barefoot in the grass.

🎶 Pro tip: If you’re looking to establish a new routine, listen to the same music each time so your body can relate your Jack Johnson playlist to journaling, for example.

🧺 7. Plan a Picnic (Even if It’s Just in Your Backyard)

Picnics aren’t just about the food—they’re about slowing down and soaking up the season. Grab a blanket, pack some fresh fruit, cheese, and maybe a pair of Poppi drinks (have you SEEN the mini cans- so cute), and head to your favorite grassy space for some grounding and rewnewal.

🍃 What to wear: Our We Are the Lucky Ones crewneck is lightweight with a coastal vibe and perfect for lounging on the grass. Pair it with cutoff shorts and Kizik retro sneakers for a relaxed, chic vibe.

🌤️ 8. Let the Sunshine In

Vitamin D does wonders for your mood and overall well-being. Open up the windows, let the light flood in, and spend some time soaking up the sun. According to Andrew Huberman (Huberman Lab podcast) morning sunlight has a myriad of health benefits.

🌸 Spring Tip: Add a few new plants to your space for a literal breath of fresh air. Snake plants and pothos are great low-maintenance options!

💖 9. Wear What Feels Good

Self-care isn’t just about what you do—it’s about how you feel. That’s why we believe in creating pieces that are both stylish and comfortable. Whether it’s a cozy sweatshirt, a soft tee, or a laid-back hoodie, wearing pieces that make you feel good is an act of self-love.

✨ Try this: Our "All Love Starts with Self Love" sweatshirt is the ultimate self-care piece. Wear it as a reminder that you are enough, just as you are.

🌸 10. Be Gentle with Yourself

The most important part of self-care is grace. You don’t need to have it all figured out this spring—just be open to whatever blooms. Trust the process, take deep breaths, and know that everything you need, you already have.

💌 Final Thought:
This spring, let self-love be your foundation. Whether you’re soaking up the sun, journaling your intentions, or lounging in the softest sweatshirt you’ve ever owned, remember: the good is now, and it’s all yours to enjoy.
