It's "warming up" a bit, which means Spring is on it's way! In Florida we actually had two pretty cold days but now we are seeing temps in the 70's and the sun is staying up longer which is pretty much heavenly. This season is full of blossoming flowers and super fun trends, life comes bouncing back into the world and really, what is there not to love about Spring? I know it's snowing in some parts of the country, but hold on - Spring is on it's way!

I'm bringing out my shorts, skirts, and dresses now... there's just something about the perfect mini-dress, am I right? I'm also majorly crushing on all the "in" colors of this season, with shades of berry and marsala gracing the make up aisle I'm just absolutely giddy! Plus with freckles being "trendy" and Colgate® Optic White® Express White helping me achieve whiter teeth in just 3 days*, just by brushing- I'm all set to rock a beautiful, fresh new look this spring!

Today I'm sharing beauty tips and tricks to help you achieve a beautiful, fresh look this spring - all super affordable and sure to make you feel absolutely stunning! With everything easily found at Walmart, there's no reason not to spoil yourself a little bit this Spring!

1. Get Your Scrub on, Exfoliate! - Exfoliating is key to the "fresh, new" look. Don't over do it, but be sure to scrub your face well every single night! I found this little sponge in the beauty aisle and have been using it to make sure that my pores are extra clean and that my skin is happy! It's easy to exfoliate, just scrub and make sure to remove all make up, dry skin, etc. Be sure to apply a moisturizer after you exfoliate to keep your skin in check!

2. Nail it with a Mani-Pedi! - Painting your nails is trendy ever season, but this year I'm seriously in love with all the nude colors and dark deep mauve shades being so trendy! There are so many shades of "nude" nail polish, who would have thought? I decided on two shades that were neutral yet gorgeous and totally nailed my "at home" mani-pedi like a pro!

3. Add Some Color to Those Lips! - Adding a little bit of stain and gloss to your lips is going to be extra gorgeous this season! With shades of Marsala and Berry being the most trendy lip colors, I wanted to grab every single lip color in the aisle. I settled on a berry lip stain and a very interesting shade of mauve lip gloss to go over the top. I usually just wear a little bit of lip balm so adding some color is a huge beauty adjust for me, but it's a fun and funky one that I'm having a blast with!

4. Let Your Eyes Do The Talking! - While bright colors are super fun to work with, there's just something timelessly beautiful about a fairly neutral eye palette. Luckily, this season colors that compliment many skin tones are all the rage - with neutral shades of eyeshadow being the trendiest, it's easy to let your eyes do the talking!

5. Being Beautiful is Easy with BB Cream! - I've always been a concealer/foundation type of girl, until I found BB Creams. I've fallen in love with this creamy beauty balm that offers the same coverage as your moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, skin treatment, concealer, and foundation - all packed into one tiny little tube. It's pretty much a beauty blessing!

6. Whiten Up with Colgate® Optic White® Express White! - I saved the best beauty tip for last here, ladies. This toothpaste is life changing! Since it offers 2 times more of the professionally recommended whitening ingredient than Optic White Sparkling Mint toothpaste, Colgate® Optic White® Express White packs a powerful whitening clean that can't be compared! My teeth whitened in just 3 days and they feel so incredibly clean, I literally couldn't ask for a better reason to be smiling this Spring!
