23 thoughts women have when Spring starts

Spring has sprung! But let’s face it … the thought of warmer weather holds a certain amount of panic for us females, right? Read this for a laugh…

Spring

Ah, Spring! The promise of warmer weather, longer days and lighter clothing sounds very appealing indeed, but let’s face it, you’ve probably had at least one of these thoughts cross your mind:

1. I promised myself last year that I wouldn’t gain weight during winter.

2. Throw out all the carbs and treats in this house. Throw. Them. OUT!

3. I am not eating a thing before December.

4. I need to tan.

4. This dress used to fit better last year. Oh dear. What happened?

5. I forgot to shave my legs! I actually forgot HOW to shave!

6. Oh, look at all those pretty flowers! The beautiful colours … the smells …

7. … uh-oh, my sinus is suddenly feeling so much worse.

8. I haven’t had flu all winter! I survived an entire winter without getting sick…

9.  …oh, no, wait … is that a tickle in my throat?

10. I forgot about these lovely wedge heels! Why are they hidden away? I want to wear them. Today!

11. I should have gone for a pedicure…

12. Do I still even have body lotion? Will it be enough to cover both legs?

13. How did I allow the house to get so messy during winter?

14. Can I still use this sunscreen? (Disclaimer: If you have to ask, the answer is no.)

15. Out with the red wine, in with the white wine!

16. Let’s have a pool party this weekend … wait, what do you mean more rain is coming?

17. I am going to pack all my winter coats away. I won’t be wearing them again this year, right? Wait, what do you mean more rain is coming?

18. Better use that gym membership…

19. …why is the gym so full today?

20. I forgot how to walk in sandals. I feel so unstable on my feet.

21. I need to go to the shops and buy every salad ingredient I can think of.

22. Why are there already Christmas things in the shops? I’m not ready for this!
