Put a Spring in your step with our fresh & zesty French soaps
Spring is a time of rejuvenation and often used as a time to clear out the old and start afresh with Spring cleaning and de-cluttering. There are various technical definitions of Spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. When it is Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. At the spring (or vernal) equinox, days and nights are approximately twelve hours long, with daytime length increasing and nighttime length decreasing as the season progresses. Following the Spring equinox, days begin lasting longer and nights get shorter. Daylight Saving Time, which moves the clock forward starting in March, gives you even more light hours to get things done. Those extra hours of sun can be a major mood-booster, according to some research. Warmer temperatures mean you can spend more time outside without freezing, which is great for mental health. Across the seasons, research has found that taking walks in nature slows your heart rate and makes you more relaxed, but some research indicates that there is something special about Spring in particular and its effect on your brain. The researchers found that being outdoors broadened participants' minds, leaving them more open to new information and creative thoughts.
As well as its benefits to humans, it is amazing what a little sun can do for plants and grass. Through photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into food, releasing oxygen in the process. That means as plants start to grow in the Spring, they pull carbon out of the atmosphere, providing an important environmental service. After months spent conserving energy, flowers bloom in the Spring, once they sense that the days have grown longer and the weather has turned warmer. That is also good for humans, because several studies have shown that looking at flowers can make you happy and uplift your mood. In addition, while it is important to keep moving no matter what the weather, research shows that working out can be more beneficial if you do it outside. At northern latitudes, it's extremely difficult to get enough sun exposure naturally to maintain healthy vitamin D levels during the winter, even if you did want to expose your skin to the elements! Temperate weather makes it easier to get the fresh air you need. Opening your windows and allowing the breeze in serves as an important way to ventilate indoor spaces. Sunlight triggers your body to produce vitamin D, which keeps your bones strong.
Spring and "Springtime" refers to ideas of rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection and regrowth. Spring lends itself to new starts and is a season of optimism and looking forward.
