A Few of Our Favourite Spring Things

There's something refreshing about leaving the office and realizing it's still bright outside. The air feels lighter, your mood lifts, and suddenly, making plans sounds far more exciting than spending the weekend binging the latest Netflix series. It's also one of the surest signs that spring is officially here! 

To celebrate, we’re sharing some of our favourite things about the season:

1. Fresh Flowers

You never need a reason to buy yourself flowers – especially in the spring. It’s an easy way to brighten your day (or someone else’s) while adding colour and life to your space. Spring also brings plenty of opportunities to see nature in full bloom, whether it’s a stroll through High Park during cherry blossom season or a weekend trip to Huntington Botanical Gardens.

2. Spring Getaways

There’s no better time to shake off the winter blues than with a spring getaway. Whether you’re dreaming of hiking on the west coast or a European escape, finding budget-friendly travel options is key.

Pro Tip: Use Skyscanner’s “Explore Everywhere” feature to score the best flight deals and discover trending spring destinations without breaking the bank. For accommodations, consider swapping your space for a change of scenery. HomeExchange offers a unique and affordable way to experience new places – whether it’s a cozy countryside retreat or a chic city apartment, you’ll get to live like a local while making the most of your spring adventure.

3. More Time Outdoors

Spring is the perfect time to break free from the gym and embrace movement outdoors. Whether it’s an early morning run, yoga in the park, hiking Runyon Canyon or a game of pickleball with friends, longer days and warmer weather make it easier to stay active and energized.

4. Trying New Restaurants

As the days grow longer and the city comes alive, there’s no better time to explore new culinary experiences. If you’re looking for a vibrant spot to gather with friends after a day outdoors, head to The Cottage Cheese, one of Toronto’s best urban Indian restaurants, located in the heart of Kensington Market. From bold, aromatic curries to fresh, flavourful street food-inspired dishes, it’s the perfect place to celebrate the season with a delicious meal that transports your taste buds.

4. Spring Reset

Spring is the perfect time to reset – whether it’s tidying up your space, decluttering your mind or refreshing your wellness habits. A clean, organized environment can boost motivation, making it easier to prioritize movement, eat fresh seasonal foods and embrace a healthier lifestyle. As you get back into outdoor workouts, hikes and spring activities, Pain Punch is a great addition to your fitness routine. Pain Punch Plus is an excellent pre-workout option, with energy-boosting caffeine and taurine, while the original Pain Punch is better suited for post-workout recovery, featuring L-theanine to promote relaxation and reduce muscle soreness. This natural health product also supports overall wellness, pain management – both acute and chronic – and healthy aging, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.
