Beat the Winter Blues with Colorful Tips from Seven Daughters

CHICAGO, March 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- All across the country, annual spring-cleaning ensues as people look to clear space, simplify and revitalize their homes and lives. In line with this tradition, Seven Daughters Wines has asked its panel of lifestyle bloggers, the Savvy Seven, for insight on how to make the transition from winter to spring fun, smooth and colorful.

As part of the "Add a Splash of Color" campaign, which aims to empower the millennial woman to live a full, vibrant life, Seven Daughters has compiled a round-up of tips, across a wide-range of categories, in an effort to inspire a meaningful and lively spring.  From fashion and beauty to entertaining and food, the following suggestions serve as a source of motivation for women to gear-up for spring and bring color, energy and new experiences into their lives.

1. Jacey Duprie of Damsel in Dior suggests popping prints this season. Introducing summer prints back into your life is fun and easy. On chillier afternoons, pair a sweater with a printed short for the transition into spring. This is a perfect look for an afternoon out with your best girlfriends – pair it with some Seven Daughters Crisp White Winemakers Blend and you'll have an even better time!
2. Kelly Henderson and April Bermudez of Velvet's Edge recommend you get smart with a bar cart. They're all the rage right now and are not only great room décor, but a fun way to serve drinks to guests. Jazz up your cart by displaying a few bottles of your favorite wine and spirits.
3. Skin is in. Spring means the welcomed return of tanks and dresses, so make sure you're ready. Exfoliation is key! Wit & Whimsy's Meghan Donovan says Kate Somerville Exfoliate Body is her personal favorite.
4. Satisfy your inner wanderlust. Your spring bucket list doesn't have to be filled with overcomplicated, grand ideas. Instead, Lauren Nelson of The Girls of Lincoln Park suggests you include some realistic items that you can cross off this spring. From attending a BYOB painting class with friends or throwing an apartment-warming party, make your bucket list a little more attainable.
5. Turn it off. Jamie Stone of Queen of the Quarter Life Crisis knows we're all guilty of being overly attached to our cell phones, iPads and laptops. So, make an attempt to commit to one technology-free weekend this spring – get together with your best girlfriends and enjoy some quality time over a few glasses of your favorite Seven Daughters wine. Your mind will thank you for the break.
6. Cara Eisenpress, best selling author and creative mind behind Big Girls, Small Kitchen says "poach it good." Poaching is to spring as roasting is to fall. This technique keeps ingredients like vegetables and fish light and flavorful. Jazz up your poaching broth with a combination of spices, whole peppercorns and wine.
7. Feature your fruits. Not only are lemons, limes, oranges and other in-season fruits delicious, but they also make for great decor. Manvi Drona of Mochatini recommends throwing some lemons in a vase to instantly create an eye-catching centerpiece.

As we move from winter to the long-awaited spring season, Seven Daughters will continue to share lifestyle tips on their Facebook page. From advice on how to cook for the season and apartment décor suggestions to colorful activities for a girls' night out, the Savvy Seven offer insightful recommendations geared for the millennial women.
