The first quarter of the year is over, despite simultaneously dragging (looking at you, January) and flying by—seriously, where did March go!? Spring is coming through loud and clear with rainstorms, growth, and unbounding energy to shake up your routine. April’s theme, Force of Nature, is a nod to the power of confidence that comes from doing what you want—like going full glam one day (red lip, liner, the works!) and rocking just your SPF the next. When you love the skin you’re in, you’re unstoppable.

In honor of Mother Nature (and Earth Day coming up on April 22nd!), we’ve planned a month of mindful stories to help you live your best life and thrive. Scroll down, tap in, and glow up.

It's about glam time you treated yourself.
