SPRING-CLEANING GIVEAWAY!



April is finally here. The sun is shining and the birds are chirping, what a perfect time to…clean the house? Yes, it is that time again, spring-cleaning. It is time to hide all evidence of winter and freshen up your house, wardrobe, yard, and MAKEUP BAG.


Although, for me, spring-cleaning the house can end up being a massive undertaking, it is cathartic to finally open the windows and begin the seasonal de-cluttering. Swapping out the heavy winter coat and dark sweaters for lighter, more cheerful attire is definitely more appealing than most spring-cleaning tasks. Although, if you are in Rochester, I would keep the coat out for a couple more weeks, just to be safe. Bringing the house and yard out of hibernation are spring-cleaning fundamentals, however, it is important to go a step further. For a fresh and complete spring look, check the (make up) bag. Look at colors and determine the longevity of your supplies. Spruce up your yard and restock on beauty supplies.


This month at Jackson & Hines, we will be focusing on all things spring-cleaning. It may seem daunting, but not to worry: Jackson & Hines is here to give you a boost in the right direction.

    3. Spring Cleaning? I love that I get to start over at least once a year. (I admit, I go through "spring cleaning mode" even when it's not spring.) Throwing out the old and REALLY cleaning is refreshing. :)

    I love deep cleaning everything in my life, and starting off new while waiting for the sun to get here. I love cleaning my windows, cleaning out cupboards, my car, and prepping my garden for the yumminess to come!

    And it doesn't hurt that it is pedicure season as well!

    I love how clean, fresh, and de-cluttered everything is when I'm done! Plus it feels good to donate the clothes I no longer wear.
