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.

Just before going in to a difficult situation (like a job interview) I play music really loudly on my ipod until I momentarily forget what I'm about to do. I then walk in with confidence.

Love to paint my nails - always gives me an instant boost!

Pay attention to your grooming and wear what you like to wear whether or not others like it.

Stand tall, think of all the good things you do and are, act confident and you become confident.

[shawbarbara]

My locks are very important to me - if my hair is looking good and I have put on some lipstick or coloured lip balm I feel more confident.

Looking after yourself is key! It's amazing what a difference it can make when you're eating a good diet, getting some fresh air and exercise every day (even if it's just doing the school run or walking to the shop), getting enough sleep and treating yourself to a nice pair of shoes or a beauty treatment every so often! Love yourself and the rest will follow (I need to follow my own advice at the moment!!)

[sammylea80]

making some me time always helps, when you feel more pampered you feel more confident even if it is just a nice soak in the bath :)

Wear lovely shoes - and linked to that look after your shoes so they always look fabulous.
I love to polish mine on a Sunday night ready for the next week.

Stand tall and wear lippie

[maryandbuzz1]

A visit to the hairdresser always makes me feel better but this year I have taken an evening class on and also a computer course hopefully to help me get a new job.

[waitingforgodot]

A bit of expensive perfume, listening to my favourite songs and red lippy. Job done!

[pennwood]

A touch of Chanel No5 always gives me confidence

[jt75]

Have my hair cut.

[winterpark]

I feel more confident now I have lost 4 stone and completely changed my lifestyle.

[wendybrown]

my own Dad always said "never think less of yourself than you do others".
i think of this each time i feel out of my depth. It helps spur me on.

[littleme96]

I make sure I put on an outfit that makes me feel good, do my hair nicely and paint my nails. It makes me feel more polished on a day when I am feeling a bit meh.

[hannonle]

I just go for a short walk in the fresh air to perk myself up if I'm feeling gloomy. Unless it's actual depression and then I just ride it out knowing that it gets better. Also I try to have an optimistic outlook and not moan too much. Products don't really make me feel any different.

[dandanrawlings]

motivational posters work a treat

[glenka]

When I have my favourite outfit on I feel more confident
