This morning, we're reminded why we love this community – just take a look at the new art installation at Alexandria's Waterfront Park. We love you, Alexandria, and are excited to watch spring bloom and prepare for Easter. Spring is a time to revitalize, refresh and embrace wellness. Maybe you need an extra dose of positivity, and that's okay, too. Or maybe you're getting away. Whatever spring has in store for you, let our Monday Musings be a source of inspiration.

Elizabeth: If you have some last-minute spring break packing to do, we thought we would share a few items that will help freshen up your spring wardrobe if you are headed somewhere warm.

These See by Chloe slides will go with everything. You literally could only pack this pair of shoes, and you would be set for the week. Day to night, beach to boardwalk, these will do the trick. (Available at The Shoe Hive, $225)

Emerson Frye dresses and cover-ups fly out the door every summer. They are easy to wear and at a great price. We love this Frances dress in blue. (Available at The Hive, $188)

Every wardrobe needs a polo shirt update each spring. We love this blue one from johnnie-O, and the performance fabric makes it perfect for travel. (Available at Yellow Jacket, $89)

Celthia: Instantly replenish and rehydrate your skin with this new arrival from Augustinus Bader! The Ultimate Soothing Cream is an ultra-rich, multi-corrective cream designed to soothe sensitive, dry, irritated skin. It truly is magic, powered by Dr. Bader's proprietary cell-renewing TFC8 Complex, evening primrose oil, and niacinamide to help self-repair at a cellular level. Get ready for a healthy, balanced, and glowing complexion! (Available at Bellacara, $280)

Amy: Our Jellycat collection overfloweth! They are the sweetest, softest, most irresistible little stuffies, and they make the perfect addition to any Easter basket. Bunnies, flowers, dinosaurs, tomatoes, deviled eggs, and so, so many more! (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $25)

Adrien: It's always the right time to begin a journey toward getting stronger. So often, we think purely in terms of physical strength, yet holistic wellness brings us to a position of both physical AND emotional strength. Increasing your stress resilience in one arena has a positive impact on your ability to meet stress in all other aspects of your life. Our community works together to define individual "strength" while supporting each other to master stress resilience.

Britt: One thing we love about Alexandria is the art installations that cycle through along the waterfront! Have you seen the progress on the fourth installation of the City of Alexandria's annual temporary public art series? If the bright pink floor didn't make you look, the post-card-ready neon lights reading "I Love You" are sure to catch your attention next time you're walking at the end of King Street. Here until November 2022, this sign is a reminder of universal love. Alexandria, we love you.
