Shealyn says
I can’t say I have only one favourite thing about spring…i have many! In Northern Ontario, one of the best feelings is on the first day that the sun comes out and melts the snow, and all us northerners leave our winter parkas at home. The first rain that washes away all of the road salt, and the roads are so clean and wide, not taken up by giant snowbanks anymore. Or the day it’s raining and you don’t have an umbrella because it broke in the fall…but the rain is warm and you don’t mind walking to the car anyways. That’s the kind of day that you’re almost guaranteed a rainbow when driving the trans-Canada highway. I honestly adore spring.
Regina S says
my favorite thing about spring is that summer is next! I love summertime. What a beautiful palette!
H. says
may favourite thing about spring is the amount of sun we get (though i always stay out of the sun as much as possible). it’s so glorious and warm, taking away the gloom of winter *eww*. plus, it also means its the end of the term for uni and no more studying!
cheers,
H.

Megan says
My not favorite thing is allergies and being sick. So i emailed you Saturday a.m. before heading out to the circus and a day out with the boyf…and by saturday evening I totally had laryngitis. No fun.

Lucy says
Hi Karen!
Thanks for having this contest. I’m on a no buy for nail polishes for Lent. I haven’t bought anything at all. It’s difficult. Spring is my favorite season. The obvious is a promise of warmer weather. Also much more sun. I get really depressed when there isn’t any sunny weather. I also, like everyone else love the flowers. My Mother was an amazing gardener. She just loved it. I always remember her in the garden digging away and so enjoying it. I can’t stand to put my hands in dirt! She grew the most amazing flowers. I at least drove her around to the garden centers and we picked out flower bulbs together. We would look over the flower catalogs and pick out bulbs. I always think of her when I see the beautiful flowers of Spring.

When I lived in Japan, my favorite thing about spring was the arrival of plum blossoms and then cherry blossoms. During cherry blossom season, it seemed like the whole world turned pink! Plus there were lots of fun parties, strolls with the hubby, and cute seasonal products that tied in with the cherry blossoms.
Now that I live in the US again, my favorite things are wearing sandals that show off cute spring pedis! I do still love flowers, but I live in Tucson, so we don’t really get many flowers here.

Hi Karen!
It is a beautiful spring day in my hometown 🙂 Early spring is my favorite season of all. There are first bright green leaves on the trees and dandelions are in full bloom ,yellow and white, Tabs would love playing there 🙂 There are plenty of orange tulips outside of my university and some bushes turned light pink and yellow. I wish that a makeup artist could look at these gorgeous colors and create a similar palette; the view is truly inspirational! The Clarins palette looks like it has plenty of bright summer colors- i especially like the purple one.
I am also a subscriber 🙂 Hope you have a nice spring day soon as well!

What I like about spring is the fact that the birds are singing when I have to get up in the morning. I am not really a morning person, so that cheers me up a lot. :o)
I also like how nice and fresh everything smells, how everything gets colourfull – and I love that everybody starts wearing brighter colours in spring.
Also, I am not a summer person; I like the sun, but not hot weather. So spring is very nice for me. :o)
Sanayhs says
Breaking out the BIRKENSTOCKS! Cute? Not so much. Comfy? HELL YES!
Right now, though, it’s snowing. 🙁
Erin says
I live in Minnesota. Yes, we have a cold winter, but we also get to experience each individual, lovely season!! All four are exciting when they begin… but winter gets soooooo long that by January, we start to go a little crazy. So when days start to warm up and you see excited people driving their convertibles with the tops down when it’s only 40F… it just makes you smile. 🙂 So my favorite part of spring is the change that occurs.. from things like the snow and ice melting to the birds shrieking at 5 am to the flooding!
Sherry B. says
Shedding the layers of clothes and winter dreariness!

My favorite thing about spring would have to be the weather in general. When it is beautiful outside and I can wear short sleeves during the day and maybe need a light jacket at night… LOVES IT!!! I hate sweating and being to hot and not being able to control it but then again I hate being freezing cold because I think large jackets/heavy coats hide beautiful outfits! lol!

My favourite thing about spring is the weather! Here in Canada it then becomes the perfect time to dig out the light jackets, and skirts 🙂

I Love my new MAC makeup, I just went to my local MAC store and got a bunch of new makeup and am going to toss my old stuff – (well, not all of it – but the old powder – ick) I regret not buying more eyeshadows and some brushes since my brushes are kinda blah and worn…I guess I’ll make do for now…*sigh* I love the new OPI nail color I have on – “My chihuahua bites” everyone says it’s gorgeous…though it needs touching up now…since I do so much typing… 🙂

Shiny says
I’ve never tried Clarins before but that looks to be a pretty good price for a 6 shadow palette!
Jenn says
I’ve also never tried this brand before but it looks really cool! I actually don’t like spring that much. Explanation: I live in MN and spring here is just a big muddy mess. The snow turns brown (eww) and it gets all slushy. Definitely not a post-card scene of white blanketed landscapes.

I love spring because of the pretty flowers and trees. GREEEEEN!!! 😀 (but damn allergies…grrrr)
Liz! says
My favorite thing about spring has got to be how… invigorated I feel. Like yesterday, I went to the gym, and decided to step outside for a breather. The sunshine was lovely, the light breeze was warm, and I actually thought how nice it would be to take a run outside. I *don’t* run, as a rule, my knees don’t like it at all, but for a few moments… I thought it would just be a fine thing to do.
Antoinette says

My favourite thing about Spring: more daylight!

[MeLeSSa] says
hi long time reader first time commenter. haha, no. i just found your site a few weeks ago. i think i saw one of your videos on youtube. idk, but im glad i did. you seem really nice and i get some good tips & advice.
well im not really good at favorites. i guess just the overall weather. it leads way to so many good things. like the pretty flowers and the way it smells after it rains. knowing the next season will also be warm. im with you on the socks suck thing. sandles are great but i also like walking around barefoot in my front and backyard. also weather goes right through me and im always freezing walking around the house in long pj pants, top, and robe. and the robe is such a pain. its heavy and gets caught on everything. and even with the robe im usually still cold. and then things gets me colder like the toilet seat, lol, drinking water etc. so yeah, quite freeing to walk around with some shorts and a top on and not having chills & goosebumps all day long. and i love the outdoors, so we get to put the trampoline back up, go to the park, have a campfire, play fetch with my doggie, (except she plays keep away and chace me around the yard lol), oooo chalk on the patio lol (i like to draw), me & my lil sis did that already. just being outside. its so beautiful. except when i see a bee- then i go running inside lol. oh, how could i almost forget. the sun! it feels sooooo good on the body. i go tanning sometimes and it just can not compare. and the whole sunnyness just puts me in a better mood.
so yeah. i think im gunna stop now lol. hope you have a good day. i get to sleepover at my boyfriends today and i have new episodes of lost AND the office. psyched =)
ahh one more thing, your kitty is SO cute! i love animals, how can anyone not?
