Share some ‘nice ‘n easy’ ways to help yourself feel more confident, and you could win a £300 Love2Shop voucher! NOW CLOSED

We have made it through the wintery months, but we’re not free from drizzly days just yet. It really is a struggle to feel good in the wind and rain, so nice ‘n easy would love you to share the things that you do to make yourself feel at your best.

Here’s what nice ‘n easy have to say: “The beginning of the year is often gloomy, Christmas is long gone and the days are short and dark. But with Spring just around the corner, and sun just a promise away, it’s time to get out and give yourself a lighter, sunkissed look. ‘As we have more sunny days our skin tone warms up and therefore your hair colour needs to adjust to complement it. Going one or two shades lighter softens the darker tones we have often used during the winter. It’s all about having a natural look, as if your hair has been kissed by the Spring sunshine’ says our colour expert colour expert Jonathan Long”

So, is a hot bath with some posh candles just what you need to perk yourself up in the dark winter months? Perhaps you like to learn a new skill or get involved in an evening class? Do you brighten yourself up by changing your hair colour, or by starting a new skin routine to give yourself a glow? Whatever it is that you do to boost your confidence, let nice ‘n easy know.

Please add your comment or tip below and you'll be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 Love2Shop gift voucher.

[dirtypop]

exercise really helps

[annmariec]

I suffer from psoriasis which knocks my confidence loads, I try to do mini pamper nights each week like doing my nails and face masks this helps boost my confidence, also knowing my hubby and son love me unconditionally helps me feel more comfortable

[MillyVanilli222]

I keep a picture of myself looking at my best near the mirror as a reminder to feel confident on wobbly days!

[Jocelynne123]

Doing exercise always makes me feel better about myself and more confident. Even if it's just a brisk walk i feel like I have accomplished something xx

[snare]

make an appointment with a personal shopper to update your look :)

I had a friend who was a life coach. I asked her how she was SO confident and she explained that any time she felt wobbly she imagined she was Madonna and everyone around her were the supporting cast in her film. Everyone was a co-star but she was the star of the show. This sounds insufferable but really does work. Channel someone you admire and think how would Angelina/Jen/The Queen walk into this room? It's another way of faking it until you make it :)

[katieskatie82]

i always treat myself by buying myself a new item of clothing! It always makes me feel more confident! x

[Natasha7]

Visit a hairdresser and treat yourself to a manicure.

[jazzitup]

Do the best you can do with what has been provided, smile in the mirror and then dance to a fav song.
Go out and enjoy yourself.

[vincenta]

Drinking more water and eating lighter meals with lots of greens help me to feel and look better:)

[Themilseys]

For me, it's simple. Smile. Most people smile back and you instantly feel better.

[Beepow]

Sometimes it's just about grabbing out some matching underwear so you know that under all your clothes you're looking great, it doesn't matter if you're wearing your slouchy clothes on top, it makes me feel so much better!

[Inyosi]

I try to make myself more confident by focusing on the good and less on the bad. Too often I think we focus on our negative points, we need to be kind on ourselves and realise that everyone has their hangups - so its better to focus on the positive. After all no-one is perfect!

[ellie17]

wearing a bold colour can make me feel more vibrant and confident and also remembering that no one is judging me the way i am sometimes judging myself so its about being kind to yourself

[Kangakate]

Make sure you make time for yourself in the morning, shower, moisturisers and do your hair to make sure you leave the house feeling good and confident

[baconbap]

a splash of perfume

[chunkychocky]

Spend time drying your hair nicely and you'll feel much more confident.

[Blondie1982]

Accessories to brighten up any outfit

[Snapespeare]

Be kind to yourself. Build your resilience and don't let other people,s expectations define you.

[Nettie17]

Always hold your head up high, others think you are confident and it makes you feel confident

[Pimmpom]

Definitely regular hair cuts. I just don't want to step outside the door if my haircut is overdue. Having my eyelashes dyed as well gives me a lift, just wished they lasted longer.

[janemphoto]

I started a good skin routine and it has certainly made a difference, it makes me feel more confident when I look in the mirror.

[ptak5566]

Self talk ... always talk to myself as I would others definitely helps me!
