The sun has popped back out from behind the clouds, and gray skies have dissipated. It’s finally spring in Atlanta! All over the city, delicate white and pink blossoms are filling out tree branches, and puckered up tulips are unfolding to meet the sun’s kiss.

It’s the season to refresh and reset.

Tropical destinations and vitamin-rich foods rejuvenate us in spring after the dreary winter months ushered us indoors to indulge in rich comfort foods. Now’s the time for a spring reset.

Wellness – Reawaken the Senses

Spring Awakening: How to Reset Your Body for Spring

Outside of exercise, let go of winter tension, ailments, and mental stress with a reflexology, cryotherapy, or a physical therapy session. Hydrate with fruit-infused waters or teas, and remove dull skin with skincare and facial treatments that boost collagen and circulation. Spring is a season for rebirth, and you’ll need to start from the inside-out to feel like yourself again.

13 Natural Ways to Handle the Heath Strains of Travel

You shouldn’t have to take a vacation from your vacation. These are some natural ways for getting maximum relaxation from your travels.

Spring Destinations to Check Out

Our favorite spring destinations offer much to do whether you are spending a long weekend or an entire week. Short air travel and outdoor festivals make these ideal for family vacations.

Chicago

Well after the river is dyed green for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, the Windy City draws visitors to its sprawling parks and waterside spaces. Late spring is the ideal time to visit, when the weather is temperate and the sun beams onto the city’s glittering skyline.

Savannah

Savannah’s St. Patrick’s Day festival is also well known, but its charming town squares and shaded parks offers a relaxed weekend getaway for anyone looking to avail Southern hospitality.

Rocky Mountain National Park

Visiting during the slower season has its benefits. Your best chances of avoiding snow-blocked roads will be in late May.

Cartagena, Colombia

The rainbow streets of Getsemani and fresh fruit on display in the streets are sure to give you spring vibes. With all of the action-packed excursions available, this is one city that’s sure to get your blood pumping.

Hawaii – Oahu and the Big Island

For my West Coasters, this one is for you. Spring break experiencing the force of mother nature at Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island, and all of Oahu’s scenic backdrops will be a trip to remember. Plus, it’s a much easier flight for you.

Mexico City
Avoid Cancun’s partygoer crowds for Cinco de Mayo and opt for the more diverse and artistic Mexican capital instead. The throbbing metropolis has something for everyone, and cool mountain breezes make this an ideal escape.

Puerto Rico

Lush rainforest and pulsing street beats will jolt you from spring right into summer.
