It’s no coincidence that April kicks off Stress Awareness Month and we need more practical ways to handle stress than Spring emojis. So this year we’re challenging you to focus on self care for 30 days and we’ll even help you get started.
Here are 5 practical spring self care tips (no frills)
Sip a floral tea Brew a cup of hibiscus, jasmine, or chamomile tea or try a honey-lavender latte to embrace the flavors of the season.
Go on a “Bloom Walk” Take a stroll through your neighborhood or a botanical garden. Look for new buds, blossoms, and the vibrant greens returning to the trees.
Open your windows Let the winter air out and the fresh spring breeze in. The sound of birds chirping is a natural mood booster!
Declutter one small space Channel that “spring cleaning” energy into one drawer or shelf. Clearing physical space can help to clear mental space.
Wear bright, airy colors Store the heavy knits and pull out the linen, cotton, or pastel colors that make you feel light and energized.
Check out this self care guide for even more tips.
Mark as many of these as you can this Spring and watch the stress wash away like beautiful waves crashing along the shore of your favorite scenic beach spot.
Hear the sounds of the water, feel the sand, listen to the birds sing (okay you get the picture)…
Here’s to more long walks and less stress as the seasons change 🥂
If you’re looking for fresh new makeup looks for the Spring or ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a little green, you’re in luck.
This Saint Patrick’s Day the beauty industry is all about new green-themed collections and spring color palettes that feature illuminating emerald and seductive earthy tones. These new makeup and beauty trends will have you feeling like a pot of gold.
Here’s What’s New
Hung Vanngo Beauty: The newly released Color Story Eyeshadow Palette features a specific colorway titled “Generous Green and Yellow.”
Zoya “Sweetie” Spring 2026 Collection: For green nails, Zoya has released their Sweetie collection for Spring 2026, which includes fresh, creamy greens like the shade Daria.
MAC Cosmetics: As part of their spring launches, the Strobe Beam Liquid Blush and Multisculpt Matte Liquid Eyeshadows are being used for “blush blocking” and “monochrome” looks, with olive and moss tones being used as unique accents.
Trending “Green” Palettes
Half Magic: The Glitterpuck and individual single eyeshadows are trending for “Emerald Cat Eye” looks, especially if you like high-shine, Y2K-inspired glitter.
Morphe: The 39A Palette is being making a comeback, focusing on the mix of forest greens and beige/brown tones.
Victoria Beckham Beauty: The Eyewear Eyeshadow Stick in green hues is being showcased for “diffused, hazy” pastel looks that are popular this spring.
St. Patrick’s Day Beauty Trends
Imperfect Emerald Eyes: Forget about trying to create perfectly precise, glittery cut-creases, 2026 trends favor a grungier, “party girl” eye. Use a dark green kohl liner (like Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal) and smudge it out for a more effortless vibe.
Blush Blocking: Add a few hints of green as a “pop of color” near the temples or eyes. Contrast with pink or peach blush on the cheeks.
Pastel Accents: “Y2K Pastels” are making a comeback. Look for mint greens paired with sharp liner for a modern ☘️St. Patrick’s Day look.
It’s not just about vanity. Beauty has always been a powerful way to celebrate femininity. It’s a way to inspire authenticity and these days it’s creating economic opportunities for women around the world.
The point is beauty has a purpose. Women like Madam C.J. Walker, Helena Rubinstein, and Estée Lauder have made historical contributions to women’s history. Walker built a haircare empire for Black women in the early 1900s using door to door sales way ahead of her time.
Rubinstein built one of the first global cosmetic empires and taught women that skincare was science. And Estée Lauder believed you could sell a dream, not just a cream.
These women taught us that makeup isn’t about hiding who you are. It’s about highlighting the beauty that’s already there.
This years theme for women’s history month is Give to Gain. These inspiring women gifted us with their stories, innovation, and outstanding beauty products.
Here is how we can celebrate Women’s History and Give to Gain in our own unique way.
