Your March Appointments
Because the art of romanticizing your life deserves a place in your calendar.
March is the month we tighten systems, retire what carried us through winter, and set a clean place for the coming weeks. We’re not overhauling our lives; we’re polishing them. Put these on your calendar like you would therapy or a board meeting — because tending to your life is both.
Your March Appointments
1). Retire winter coats to storage (after thanking them for their service!).
2). Buy tulips every Monday this month.
3). Buy a bright, effervescent candle.
4). Try on every piece of clothing you own as you swap out your Fall/Winter wardrobe for Spring/Summer. It’s cumbersome, but the best way to audit.
5). Afteward, drop off your culled out selections at Goodwill.
6). Reorganize your car’s center console and restock it with necessities!
7). Clean out your refrigerator (check expiration dates) and wipe down the shelves.
8). Order a buzzy new book in hard copy (Kindle is practical, but there’s nothing like cracking a spine).
9). Make a light, spring dinner dish with lemon, parmesan, peas, and risotto.
Carter’s on a protein kick, so I will probably also add in some rotisserie chicken!
10). Wash your makeup brushes!!!
11). Start teeth whitening once a week.
12). Upgrade your everyday schlepper. Bonus points for a fun, ironic monogramming.
13). Review all your subscriptions and cancel two.
14). Then audit all your other auto-pay bills. Knowledge is power!
15). Review your annual goals progress from Q1, and decide what has been working and how you can adjust your sales for Q2.
16). Plan one no-spend weekend.
17). Order new stationery and select a signature pen.
18). Let a spring playlist float through your home as you tidy up.
19). Create a Sunday reset ritual.
May I recommend starting with Your Sunday Appointments?
20). Invest in a cute new rain jacket for spring showers! If you’re feeling crazy, galoshes too!
21). Refresh your everyday tablescape with a new vase, florals (faux is fantastic!), and candle holders.
22). Order (or better yet, thrift!) a piece of your favorite vintage collection. Think Waterford Crystal, Wedgewood, Famille Rose.
23). Hire a couch cleaner! Results are instantly gratifying and somewhat concerning.
24). Deep clean your dishwasher and washing machine (yes the washers need washing).
25). Create a “What I’m Not Buying This Spring” list.
26). Create a gift closet, featuring a signature surcee to have on hand and darling details for affixing.
27). Get your car detailed (or at least an interior clean at your local car wash).
28). Replace your washcloths.
And if you don’t alrady use a new washcloth everyday for your face, this is the time to start!
29). Clean out your nightstand and repack using organizer blocks. Don’t forget the dark chocolate!
30). Create an “Oh Shit Kit” ("OSK”) for your purse.
31). Review your credit card perks and make sure you’re not leaving any money on the table!
my favorite series!!
I laughed out loud at the couch comment!
