This post was developed in collaboration with Downy, however all pictures and opinions are my own. 
I know I'm not the only one welcoming Spring with open arms! The winter seemed to be extra cold and long this year - I can't wait to get out of hibernation! There are SO many things we are looking forward to doing - from spending more time outside with the kids, the Book Festival, FIESTA, birthday BBQs and just meeting up with some friends!
First things first, I need to bust out my spring clothes, and get them ready for the season. That's why I LOVE Downy Liquid Fabric Conditioner and Downy Fresh Protect . Not only do they get my clothes looking and feeling great after a season in the closet - but together, they also protect my Spring wardrobe from stretching, fading and fuzz and protect them from odors for 24 hours. So I can take on my fun Spring adventures without fearing that my fresh clothes are going to smell bad at the end of the day-it's like deodorant for my clothes!
It's so easy to incorporate into your laundry routine:
Spring marks the season to refresh so many aspects of your life - not just your laundry routine - and Spring cleaning doesn't have to be a huge daunting task. Go get Downy Liquid Fabric Conditioner and Fresh Protect beads here to upgrade your own Spring laundry routine, and check out my tips below for refreshing your home, clothes and outlook on life this season -- small changes make big things happen!
Bring the outside in! Adding indoor plants into your home decor is a great way to bring spring colors and vibes into your life.
If you can find indoor plants that have color, you've found the jackpot! And spending the weekend in your favorite top is a bonus. My favorite that I will carry with me everywhere in the Spring is this orange sweater.
Find new outdoor adventures!
Refresh your outlook on your city and explore like a tourist! Find historical sites, new parks and festivals! If you are in San Antonio, the San Antonio Missions are a great place to start. Not only do you get active, but you learn more of the history of the city.
Start with small organizing! Junk drawers? The small tools in your garage? Your first aid kit? Tackle organizing these small projects and you'll be energized for the big ones.
Have you heard of the hanger trick where you flip all the hangers in your closet the opposite way.
When you use the item, put them back the correct way and at the end of the year, you'll know which items you are ready to give away. But thanks to Downy Fresh Protect, you may just be holding on to your clothes for longer, now that they stay protected and smelling amazing.
