Whether you're an experienced gym goer joining a new gym, or a beginner just venturing in to their fitness journey, here's my honest 10 tips on how to feel confident in the gym.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Wear a gym outfit that makes you feel confident AND comfortable</h3><p>When it comes to picking an outfit for your first day in the gym, opt for something that you feel comfortable and fab in! There's nothing worse than feeling too comfortable that you feel a bit slobbish or equally choosing an outfit that looks amazing but digs into your skin or keeps falling down. When looking for gym outfits, I usually shop at <a href="https://rstyle.me/+a2g5JH4kctJ7CobbDi-c8Q" target="_blank">Gymshark</a>, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+_025Wx_DcMVnmMeqxcSNgA" target="_blank">Adanola</a>, <a href="https://uk.womensbest.com/" target="_blank">Women's Best</a> or <a href="https://rstyle.me/+NobETOgVyPzU1KORqG2BTg" target="_blank">Lulu Lemon</a>.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Have a plan and stick to it</h3><p>It's always a good idea to go in with a plan of exercises that you'd like to do in your gym session. This will prevent you from wandering around feeling a bit lost as to what to do. If you're new to the gym and don't know what equipment they have or if you don't know any exercises, I'd recommend doing a bit of research prior to going so that you can have a few exercises in mind as options. You could try and remember 3-4 bodyweight exercises for the worst case scenario where you can't get on any equipment; a few basic equipment movements such as leg extensions or chest flies; and some compound exercises such as squats and deadlifts.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Watch tutorials and do your research</h3><p>Don't forget to take your phone in with you, that way if you're not sure on what to do and there's no one to ask, you can quickly google or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/EvieRoseLaneStyle" target="_blank">YouTube</a> it for a tutorial. There's so much brilliant fitness content out there now. Alternatively, I'd always suggest speaking to the gym team for help, they're literally employed to help and support you on your journey to meet your fitness goals. They'll always be happy that you asked!</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">Don't worry about everyone else</h3><p>When I first joined the gym, I remember thinking EVERYONE was looking at me but guess what? They weren't. They were too busy getting on with their own workouts to be staring at me the whole time. Remember this when you next go in! </p><p>If you do catch someone looking, take it as a compliment or remember that (if they're anything like me) they're probably zoned out in between sets thinking about what they're doing next.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Listen to music, always!</h3><div>Don't rely on the gym's music - always have your headphones with you so that you can listen to your favourite songs. I always think what an absolute blessing having music on the go is. It really allows me to focus, zone out and get on with the task in hand (and enjoy it too!). There's nothing better than matching your music with your mood and enjoying your workout to the full.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwvn93fdbOLJuKgnxKN_LcqXbVR9wr1yfonpHC83IPwZ-_wrCxHlmkkoOEueY6xc0q-fNiTE5xgWueKzfA2r-x-8Yyy64l0vFkPe3i6uLG1RrTxOt-37tNKm1EhvF99J0srOidkUTKvpYI4Ai_lAvZc3POgZXjVlFnSW-E9KC7mIuV-uh7KgEKMbpf/s3088/IMG_4592%20(1)%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="female with abdominal muscles" border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwvn93fdbOLJuKgnxKN_LcqXbVR9wr1yfonpHC83IPwZ-_wrCxHlmkkoOEueY6xc0q-fNiTE5xgWueKzfA2r-x-8Yyy64l0vFkPe3i6uLG1RrTxOt-37tNKm1EhvF99J0srOidkUTKvpYI4Ai_lAvZc3POgZXjVlFnSW-E9KC7mIuV-uh7KgEKMbpf/s16000/IMG_4592%20(1)%20(1).jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Comparison is the thief of joy</h3><div>You don't know everybody's story or how hard they've had to work to get to where they are now, so don't judge your day 1 against somebody else's day 1,024. Investing in your health and fitness is for you and you only. Exercise isn't always about aesthetics. It's about how you feel, what it teaches you, and being able to surprise and challenge yourself so remember that next time you're feeling insecure.</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Avoid peak times if you can</h3><div>There's definitely times where the gym will be at its busiest and it's usually just outside of typical work hours (between 5-7pm in the evening and before 9am in the morning). If you're worried about the amount of people in the gym, then I'd suggest going outside of peak times to start with. If you're not too worried about anyone else, go for it! It's key to remember that YOU have every right to be there as much as anyone else. Don't use the gym being busy as an excuse not to go.</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Go with a friend</h3><div>If you and your friend are both new to gym and feeling nervous, why not go together? You can support each other and have fun with it too. After all, exercise should be fun and the gym can be such a sociable place to meet new and like-minded people.</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Never be too shy to ask for help</h3><div>One thing I've learned from all my years going to the gym is that 99% of people absolutely LOVE to help and support others on their fitness journey. Honestly, some of the most kind, down to earth, amazing people, I've met in the gym. Sure, some of us may look a little grumpy at times, usually from getting fired up before or after lifting heavy weights, but most people will be overjoyed that you asked them for help. </div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Invest in a personal trainer if you can</h3><div>I'd always recommend investing in a good personal trainer that aligns with your fitness goals to help get you started and build your confidence for those first few weeks or months (depending on your budget). Speak to the gym manager about what you're hoping to get from the gym, what exercise style you'd like and respond to, and they should be able to match you up with the best personal trainer for you. </div><div><br /></div><div>Not sure what to wear to your next gym session?

In this post I'll guide you through how to create a pumpkin flower arrangement like the one I've made below.<p></p><p><br /></p><p><u>What you'll need</u></p><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>A large pumpkin</li><li>A knife for carving</li><li>A pencil</li><li>A bowl</li><li>Autumnal flowers</li><li>Floristry scissors</li><li>Floristry oasis</li></ul><div><u><br /></u></div><div><u>How to create your floral pumpkin arrangement</u></div><div><u><br /></u></div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>First you'll need to prep your pumpkin. Ensure your flowers are kept in cool water while you're doing this so that they stay hydrated. You'll need to carve the top off of your pumpkin, you could choose to do this in a curved line or in a zig-zag fashion. I've chosen a curved line for this particular pumpkin. To get a precise line, turn a bowl upside down over the top end of your pumpkin, draw around the edge of the bowl with a pencil, then remove the bowl. Now you have a nice neat line to use as a guide. Stick your knife in and out of the pumpkin to make the first cut, and repeat this process until you've cut all the way around. You should now be able to pull the top off so it becomes the lid.</li><li>Using your hands or a utensil, empty out the contents of the pumpkin as best you can. Put the seeds and flesh to one side in a bowl so that you can make the most out of them later in recipes. Meanwhile, measure out the size of your floristry oasis. This will be sitting inside your pumpkin, so it needs to be able to fit comfortably. Soak your floristry oasis in cool water in the sink so that it absorbs all the moisture. </li><li>Once it's fully absorbed, put your oasis block into the inside of your pumpkin. This will be holding your flowers in place and providing them with the water they'll need to keep them looking good.</li><li>Prepare your flowers by splitting them into types. For example, put all your red roses into one section, pink in another, and foliage in another. Strip off any leaves that will not be visible or will get in the way of your arrangement. I like to keep a few of the top leaves to bulk out the arrangement and keep it more natural but this is entirely up to you.</li><li>Measure your first flower stem down to size by carefully snipping at the bottom of the stem a few cm at a time. Gently insert the stem into the oasis until it stands alone, is secure and sits at the desired height above your pumpkin. </li><li>Build out your arrangement around the first stem by considering colours, textures and varying heights. You can also try inserting the stems at a diagonal angle so that some of the flowers elegantly hang over the edge of the pumpkin, disguising the raw edge from sight.</li><li>Once you're happy with how it looks, pop it on display on your side table or even as a centre piece at the dinner table while you enjoy a comforting autumnal feast.</li></ol><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqJGUiAA2R_WLuAYmxmuHJz07ZyfLcKZ7iDG5IpfU-nbbAtLq_bABw8aJ1MgDvTN2y9D85KYDr7nIZjQGANtaC2ZDTrgrRdwiMEk4toNRJE_Vz-nhF3HdKQ0x5E_jW34Fm2dpCIzaRAu4/s2048/pumpkin6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="pumpkin flower arranging" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqJGUiAA2R_WLuAYmxmuHJz07ZyfLcKZ7iDG5IpfU-nbbAtLq_bABw8aJ1MgDvTN2y9D85KYDr7nIZjQGANtaC2ZDTrgrRdwiMEk4toNRJE_Vz-nhF3HdKQ0x5E_jW34Fm2dpCIzaRAu4/s16000/pumpkin6.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJPlX_W94OeCy_19us0PRu1lnTzcFb29vQjckSszyL7XCj1KyZ-PAOZQw3tfiUBz7sBZq4-RsFQc1r6EpGaEEmrLe5Nw2BvYATbEfQE4uVrOYcLclDg8SW2Ws9fP1nc0KdykutfDg7QgY/s2048/pumpkin8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="floral pumpkin" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJPlX_W94OeCy_19us0PRu1lnTzcFb29vQjckSszyL7XCj1KyZ-PAOZQw3tfiUBz7sBZq4-RsFQc1r6EpGaEEmrLe5Nw2BvYATbEfQE4uVrOYcLclDg8SW2Ws9fP1nc0KdykutfDg7QgY/s16000/pumpkin8.jpg" /></a></div><br />Evie Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17162074469663101349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877267948938224815.post-69614560258766154202021-09-17T20:33:00.002+01:002021-09-17T21:05:53.624+01:00How to look confident on camera <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNwhsfwShQvT_ZyE9IplxBqnA3LbYPS7FWD0sSlrs8HHs6MmIR5qK0KJlOZwH3U1aRuxoXe6O1W1u6TbxPcNPs_jCYwF3653jCP59tgGtWBecAL40s9gz_cIMrKFjsRibfmP0KsM_E5ns/s2048/a+outfit+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="look more confident on camera" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNwhsfwShQvT_ZyE9IplxBqnA3LbYPS7FWD0sSlrs8HHs6MmIR5qK0KJlOZwH3U1aRuxoXe6O1W1u6TbxPcNPs_jCYwF3653jCP59tgGtWBecAL40s9gz_cIMrKFjsRibfmP0KsM_E5ns/s16000/a+outfit+1.jpg" /></a></div> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQhV68uR-QbiUhrPstba_ldOnBsj2k5ijCMsyIfY7dQwS8MUuJGP0ytp2lOiIRLDn_wGKV8YFWCq2bzFoHalifQmie7wlNE4bc4AW2fU3AYgS3exmBcktjA6xWSWr99x0JukOjQ8pOgqA/s2048/a+outfit+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="how to look confident on camera" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQhV68uR-QbiUhrPstba_ldOnBsj2k5ijCMsyIfY7dQwS8MUuJGP0ytp2lOiIRLDn_wGKV8YFWCq2bzFoHalifQmie7wlNE4bc4AW2fU3AYgS3exmBcktjA6xWSWr99x0JukOjQ8pOgqA/s16000/a+outfit+2.jpg" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQhV68uR-QbiUhrPstba_ldOnBsj2k5ijCMsyIfY7dQwS8MUuJGP0ytp2lOiIRLDn_wGKV8YFWCq2bzFoHalifQmie7wlNE4bc4AW2fU3AYgS3exmBcktjA6xWSWr99x0JukOjQ8pOgqA/s2048/a+outfit+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinYXuLVLjhxNlc6hyphenhyphenUZOOJQvwgGoxQrwCUk8pDfjyPfb7HeZiAIC2gzo9OO5HLF0pzP51PPrRPmi3VFtLKYNFlmtR3zBUMA_rew08HgEt4ZFXQ_f1mN-JkYb2tE5mAHbvXjOhmqTLwlKI/s2048/a+outfit+3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="confident on camera" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinYXuLVLjhxNlc6hyphenhyphenUZOOJQvwgGoxQrwCUk8pDfjyPfb7HeZiAIC2gzo9OO5HLF0pzP51PPrRPmi3VFtLKYNFlmtR3zBUMA_rew08HgEt4ZFXQ_f1mN-JkYb2tE5mAHbvXjOhmqTLwlKI/s16000/a+outfit+3.jpg" /></a></div></div><br />The professionals definitely make it look easy but if you're somebody who hates being on camera and struggles to feel confident, you are not alone! Many people feel uncomfortable being in front of the lens but there are ways to appear more confident on camera even when you're not feeling it.<div><br /></div><div>Being a blogger, I'm generally used to having my photo taken but there have been times when I'm shooting out in public and I feel awkward. The last thing I'd want is for that to translate on film so in order to appear more confident in the photos, I'll follow a few steps to combat the shyness.</div><div><br /></div><div><u>Keep a natural gaze</u></div><div><br /></div><div>My favourite tip is to imagine you're smiling at a loved one or your celebrity crush instead of down the barrel of a lens. This will (hopefully) make you feel more at ease, and keep your smile feeling more natural rather than forced. Try to avoid fixating your eyes on the lens by keeping your eye movements relaxed. If you need to, take a brief moment to look away or look down before looking back at the camera.</div><div><br /></div><div><u>Fix your posture</u></div><div><br /></div><div>Fixing my posture and standing tall always makes me feel more confident, whether on camera or just in real life! Keep your core tight, pull your shoulders back and neck tall, but do so without tensing. Tensing will make you look more rigid which is what we're trying to avoid.</div><div><br /></div><div><u>If in doubt, smile</u></div><div><br /></div><div>It's no secret that your facial expression will be a big part of how you'll translate on camera. Try to relax your facial muscles. Don't be afraid to try a few funny faces if it'll make you feel more at ease and if in doubt, just smile!</div><div><br /></div><div><u>Consider your body language</u></div><div><br /></div><div>Personally, I like to experiment with poses. I'll create movement by positioning my arms, hands and legs in specific positions. One of my go-to stances is to stand tall with one leg in front of the other, clutching or gently swinging a handbag. If you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/evieroselane/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, you may be already familiar with this one!</div><div><br /></div><div><u>Dress for the occasion</u></div><div><br /></div><div>Wear an outfit that you feel most confident in. Do you see those black heeled boots in the pictures above? Those boots make me feel like I could take on the world. It's important you feel happy in what you're wearing so dress with comfort and confidence in mind.</div><div><br /></div><div><u>Stay cool under pressure</u></div><div><br /></div><div>When we're the subject of a photographer, it's easy to be extra hard on yourself in that moment. Before the image has even been taken, you may find yourself already thinking "oh, I'll look awful". Don't! Give yourself a chance by remembering it's only a photo - a photo that can be ripped up and deleted if needed.

Each piece of this collection is adorned by dainty floral designs inspired by the beauty of our natural surroundings. It was born as a result of the uncertain times we're all facing, having been in and out of lockdown multiple times. That feeling of wanting to escape has been common for most. For me, often the only way to do that was to go out for a quiet walk in nature and admire the changing of the seasons. I won't be alone in saying how much nature has helped me carry hope and belief in the beauty of life over the past year. It's even more prominent now than ever before and the wildflower collection truly triumphs that.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">The background behind this collection is a beautiful story within itself. The prints were designed and hand painted in house by H&M's print designers <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;">Abigail, Holly, Kavita and Florentin. They walked through fields of wildflowers seeking their muse and inspiration then sketched down designs, alive and untamed - just like what they had seen at the meadows.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;"> The flowers were hand painted in water colour giving them a soft and subtle look, mimicking that of real delicate petals. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">With sustainability at its heart, the range is made entirely from 100 percent organic cotton and a cotton-linen mix. In a soft colour palette, the clothes are beautifully vintage inspired yet kept in line with contemporary features, such as puffed sleeves and cut out detailing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">For a high street brand to connect with people in this way is refreshing and up-lifting. It feels as though we've got to see the creative process and the people behind the designs.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"> The collection launched on April 12 and most pieces sold out within a day. You can still find a few pieces from the wildflower collection online and in store, but here's to hoping they'll be a second drop and extension of this stunning collection coming soon.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><u><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">Shop the post</span></u></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: "Source Serif Pro";"><br /></span></p><div class="boutique-widget" data-widget-id="1058770"><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"boutique-script",document,"__boutique","/js/boutique.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/d9025262862cbd974ae789dfa57b6fdd159f1694/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /><noscript>JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

As a beauty product loving human, I am not perfect but I'm certainly trying to make sustainable beauty swaps every day to be more conscious of the products I am using and reduce waste. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">Before you read any further, I must add a disclaimer that if you are looking for a sustainability expert, I hold my hands up that I do not know enough about this topic to be considered an expert.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">Swap out single use cotton pads for re-usable pads</span></h3><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">I was skeptical at first but honestly, I'm embarrassed that I didn't make this swap sooner. The product is a diamond! Not only are these re-usable pads softer on the skin than disposable cotton pads, they're very easily washable by hand with soap and water or in the washing machine with detergent for a deeper clean. I use the Garnier Reusable Makeup Remover Eco Pads, linked below.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">Use refillable containers </span></h3><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">As cute as they look, it's time to ditch the travel sized mini beauty products in favour of refillable bottles. By buying minis, you're wasting additional plastic that didn't need to be wasted. Save yourself a few pennies by investing in refillable travel beauty bottles and top them up with your full size product every time you go away.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">Recycle containers</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: "Source Serif Pro";">Avoiding plastic where you can is a good idea but it's often difficult to avoid in our current day and age. Opting for glass or aluminium containers is a much better option than plastic because it can be recycled indefinitely, meaning it can be recycled over and over again without ever losing its quality. Once your beauty products are empty, if it's eligible to be recycled, give the bottle a rinse and pop it straight in your recycling bin or bottle bank. Alternatively, certain beauty brands such as MAC will offer you incentives to bring back your empties into the store to be recycled.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Source Serif Pro";"><br /></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Source Serif Pro";">Swap liquids for solids</span></h3><p>One of the easiest ways to turn your beauty routine either plastic free or less plastic reliant is by switching from liquids to soaps or bars instead. In addition to requiring less packaging, solids such as s<span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">oaps are more affordable and will last longer than liquids due to their higher concentration.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">Wave goodbye to single use face wipes</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">I gave these up long, long ago! While the convenience of a single use face wipe is undeniable, their cost on our environment is ghastly, especially when they're disposed of in the wrong places and end up blocking drains and littering up our rivers. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">In fact, I've never used a disposable face wipe and found it to cleanse my skin as thoroughly as a hot face cloth and cleanser so you'll be doing your skin a favour. Since removing face wipes from my beauty routine, I've swapped them out for a muslin cloth. The fabric is ever so soft on my skin but gently cleansing too. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><u>Shop the post</u></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>

First hunting through second-hand vintage pieces at car boot sales and then making my own beaded jewellery as a young teen. While I occasionally still dabble in both of those things, my eye for jewellery is usually drawn by minimalist metal pieces and those with a little sparkle. I'm talking about the kind of jewels that you can wear every day in comfort and quiet confidence.

I mean, does anyone? </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">That being said, as I have grown older I've never felt more comfortable in who I am and what I like than now. When you're younger, it's exciting to try as many fashion styles as possible and experiment but over the years I've developed my taste to know what suits my body and what I like best. I no longer waste money on fads and trends that I'll never wear again. Instead I opt for timeless pieces and before buying, I'll always ask myself: "would Evie in five years time wear this?" If the answer is no absolutely not, then the hanger gently goes back on the shelf. Now I know that thinking far into the future is sometimes a daunting prospect but in this instance, it prevents me from investing in pieces that I simply will not love for years to come. For me, that's worth letting my mind wonder forward for.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijrk59iIUJncoJvtBFkiXo7TD1-c8-YHGgj9OiB8KrwByool78_lpToHp3C8Rhpv3kbCA37TOjsWRB0thRUNxgLbzt2Z23qLO70fbHor0GrVs9xlrlhoP3-3NH2KN7_nWAK3q6RDwyc2s/s2048/find_your_style.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="houndstooth blazer" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijrk59iIUJncoJvtBFkiXo7TD1-c8-YHGgj9OiB8KrwByool78_lpToHp3C8Rhpv3kbCA37TOjsWRB0thRUNxgLbzt2Z23qLO70fbHor0GrVs9xlrlhoP3-3NH2KN7_nWAK3q6RDwyc2s/s16000/find_your_style.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><img alt="" border="0" class="placeholder" id="efc74b6136e36" src="https://www.blogger.com/img/transparent.gif" style="background-color: #d8d8d8; background-image: url('https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/i/materialiconsextended/insert_photo/v6/grey600-24dp/1x/baseline_insert_photo_grey600_24dp.png'); background-position: 50% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat; opacity: 0.6;" /></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><u>How to find your style</u></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><u><br /></u></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">Think about your wardrobe. What pieces spark the most joy for you? For me, these are my fluttery floral dresses, my elegant Coach Tabby black handbag and my fierce houndstooth print blazer. Have you got some pieces in mind? Great! Now let's break those pieces down into colour, prints and styles. For me, it's clear from my love of floral dresses that I adore soft pastel tones, nature inspired prints and elegant, flattering fits. From my love of my houndstooth print blazer and black handbag, it's clear I am equally a big fan of power dressing garments, neutral and monochrome colour palettes and pieces that hold a little structure.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIOXb9H5nJqh1MKsVDOynpxmT8CQcKYMOEcZyGuQKJRB_8rprwfu0wIiERdMEcH-HQrLLgJZwLWcTG8IMkvVCtPCT6fktzoZuHVXAHBMpRtmNIMTtT0vajCDsEsJS13l3hqGpc-3RAxmc/s2048/coach_tabby.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="coach tabby bag" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIOXb9H5nJqh1MKsVDOynpxmT8CQcKYMOEcZyGuQKJRB_8rprwfu0wIiERdMEcH-HQrLLgJZwLWcTG8IMkvVCtPCT6fktzoZuHVXAHBMpRtmNIMTtT0vajCDsEsJS13l3hqGpc-3RAxmc/s16000/coach_tabby.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">When I'm stuck for things to wear or buy, I'll keep a mental note in my mind of brands within my typical budget that I always end up looking to for inspiration and newness. That way, when I'm in need of a new outfit, I can almost rely on at least one of those brands pull something out the bag that I'd be interested in wearing. To name drop a few: Zara, H&M, Mango and Oasis have all been sending my bank balance in a spin lately so I'd likely search their new in collections down first before anything else.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">When it comes to finding your style, over time it may alter and change - of course it will! But I do believe that we can easily create a little more consistency in our wardrobe just as much as we do in our day-to-day routines with defining our go-to looks. If you're feeling a bit meh, lost or confused about your own fashion style (we've all been there!) try the above to help you define your main style pillars and go from there. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><u>Shop the post</u></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><u><br /></u></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p></div>

It'll be no surprise that I've been pondering the content of this post for weeks already; wondering where on earth to begin and how to phrase a year that has caused us all so much distress, sacrifice and pain in a positive light. Although it's been a tough year, with each year passing there will always be lessons to learn, things to be grateful for and reflections to be had.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">Like others, I've had my low moments this year and at times, I've felt guilty for it. A key lesson I've learned this year is that all feelings are valid. We'll all be going through our own troubles, some will be worse than others but that doesn't mean your problems hurt you any less. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">As our normality shut down back in March, I began working from home full time for what I thought would be a maximum of 12 weeks. This time last year, if you'd have told me I'd be working from home for 10 months and still ongoing until further notice, I'd have never believed you. What it has taught me is that I am much more resilient than I give myself credit for, so much so that despite it all, I received a promotion this year. I also recognise the privilege that is working from my home when others may have much tougher conditions to cope with. It may be small, rented and claustrophobic at times, but it's quiet, clean and facilitated with all that I need to continue working. For that, I am very grateful. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">In 2020, I realised the sheer strength of my love for my family and friends. Prior to this year, I'd travel home to see my family every 2-4 weeks on average. Due to the several lockdowns and coronavirus restrictions, I have hardly seen them this year. I've had moments of pure frustration. I've felt upset and angry at the time that has been stolen away from us to be together, but my care for them is greater and stronger than anything. Keeping them all safe and healthy is a priority and once the pandemic is over, I'll give them the biggest hug ever (probably sobbing everywhere at the same time).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">I'm incredibly lucky to have had my partner by my side this year. He's been the one picking me up in those challenging moments and getting through it all together has been a testament to our love.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">Throughout the ups and downs of the last 12 months, the support of my blogging community has remained. Sometimes I find it tough to share my vulnerability online but each time I have shared my soul with you, you've shown me kindness and I am extremely thankful. At times when I've felt alone, you've reminded me that I am not and I hope that I remind you of that too. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">It wouldn't be right to talk about 2020 without dedicating thanks to our frontline staff and essential workers. You've really carried our country through this year. Your resilience, hard work and bravery is admirable and no words will ever express our gratitude for the heroes that you are. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for others.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">Who knows what 2021 will bring for us but what I do know is that we will face it with the same courage, strength and togetherness that we have faced this year with. I pray for brighter days ahead and I wish you a safe, Happy New Year. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">Love, </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Source Serif Pro;">Evie xxx</span></p><p><br /></p>Evie Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17162074469663101349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877267948938224815.post-81543458767110563692020-12-12T18:37:00.004+00:002020-12-12T18:38:50.112+00:00Christmas Decorating Ideas for Small Spaces<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcPfo5EbZGTJoAUvDbGUZIfScRjNXtzBkozdvUfuNQWQ-5KZ8s1AyCuvRXMyjAtT3zkCAp05MM-pRF5qVlnoVLCF65nKLgrG7wSkTi4y-fCI0_hGPPJkgzuU4RJ_hUiB0TIPtxJ-XrtpA/s1470/christmas4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Christmas Decorating Ideas for Small Spaces" border="0" data-original-height="1470" data-original-width="1365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcPfo5EbZGTJoAUvDbGUZIfScRjNXtzBkozdvUfuNQWQ-5KZ8s1AyCuvRXMyjAtT3zkCAp05MM-pRF5qVlnoVLCF65nKLgrG7wSkTi4y-fCI0_hGPPJkgzuU4RJ_hUiB0TIPtxJ-XrtpA/s16000/christmas4.jpg" /></a></div><br />Decorating your home for Christmas is such a joy but it can be a challenge within itself, especially if you only have a small space to work with. We live in a one bedroom flat, just the two of us. It's lovely but it's not great on the storage side of things and it can feel a little cramped at times. Although, that hasn't stopped us from enjoying the festive season and Christmas decorating.<div><br /></div><div>Here's some Christmas decorating ideas for small spaces that have helped me decorate our small apartment...</div><div><div><br /></div><div><i style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Mulish, sans-serif; font-size: 12.6px; letter-spacing: 0.7px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ad - This post contains affiliate links, which means I'll receive a commission if you purchase through my link, at no extra cost to you.

We bought ours from B&Q a few years back and it has served us well so far. I must admit, it was one of the most affordable options and it's a bit dark in colour for my liking but it does the job and looks lovely once decorated. To give it a frosted look, I have invested in a snow spray in the past which worked really well. Having a smaller space, we couldn't invest in a proper tree base because we can't store it easily and it would be wasteful not to keep it for years to come. As a solution, I wrap my faux fur blanket around the base. The blanket is light brown in colour, almost replicating soil and is lovely to lay the presents on.</div><div><br /></div><div>

Firstly gather up all your decorative items and separate them into clear piles by type. I used gold sprayed seed heads, pinecones, guinea fowl feathers and a collection of different foliage for mine!</div><div><br /></div><div>2. Trim your foliage into sprigs around 3-6 inches long in length.

Next take one wire and tie it around the base or stem of your decoration. Leave one end of wire two thirds longer than the other and twist the shorter end around the remaining wire so it's neatly concealed. If you're using feathers like me, you should be able to poke these in without needing wire.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. Placing your wreath on the table in front of you, position the first foliage or decoration pointing clockwise. Once you're happy with the position, feed the wire through the back of your wreath, fixing it around the back with the remaining wire.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/evieroselane/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="decorating a christmas wreath" border="0" data-original-height="1395" data-original-width="1295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ5gybqydDKhegOVCbZL7GYlqR599jDgF43THZ7uZWRUG-53Cqw8vCM0t0_Wj750nNvnS7FJFN-YZj94-7yeb6Lx3HUo3PVxo3U6mfG4C6TF0bTPV1Wtq0Tvyi3dZKHgRGuIPtvc_jwvk/s16000/Wreath+2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>5.

Accessories are often what tie a look together. They're the finishing touch and in Autumn, it's no different. There's something so lovely about layering clothing and accessories during the darker, colder months. From soft scarves and fedora hats to sparkling jewels and hair ties, here's some must have accessories that I'll be raving about this Autumn.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p>Ad - This post features affiliate links and PR products.

Available in an array of colours, my personal top choices usually always come back to classic white or sophisticated silver. Stud earrings with metal hardware and minimalist pendants add a modern minimalist twist to this all time classic trend.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(Ad - Pr Product)</i></span> Shop my pearl earrings above <a href="https://mejuri.com/shop/products/essential-pearl-earrings-white" target="_blank">here</a>. </p><p><br /></p><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="4269574"><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/97d333a5533460e95e1450629f19012a6cf92d42/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /><noscript>JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

After the year we've had so far, the face mask is certainly a must have accessory. I'm not the person to be writing about the science behind it so I'll stick to style. There's plenty of style now that the buyers and designers at our favourite brands have worked their magic! From patterned prints to bold colour choices, even without your smile on show, you can still express an element of your personality. Personally, I'm a fan of pastel colours and floral prints, which some might say represent my introverted but caring personality. </p><p><br /></p><p>What would yours be?

Not only is it comfortable, loungewear now has a place within fashion in its own right. Whether you're a knitwear lounger or a fan of the comfy sweat co-ord, loungewear has certainly been an essential during this lockdown period.</p><p><br /></p><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="4257193"><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/97d333a5533460e95e1450629f19012a6cf92d42/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /><noscript>JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

I despise that downward feeling of sloppiness. It's that feeling you get when you've not made an effort in a while - perhaps you've left your hair wash a bit longer than usual; not worn makeup in months; or maybe you've not bothered to fix that three week old nail polish that is chipping all over the place. We've all been there and my favourite way to fix that sloppy feeling is to use some of the most feel good beauty products. It's surprising how good a coat of fake tan, a face mask and a freshly painted manicure can make you feel!</p><p><br /></p><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="4257203"><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/97d333a5533460e95e1450629f19012a6cf92d42/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /><noscript>JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

As a couple, we've stormed through many Netflix series this year. It may be way overdue but we finally got to appreciate the genius of Vince Gilligan's Breaking Bad.

This year I've embraced floral prints more than ever and I for one think its about time that we challenge the assumption that florals are just for Spring.<br /><br />If like me, you're thinking of that 'Devil Wears Prada' quote that put me off wearing florals in my teenage years, I'm here to prove to you that yes, florals really are "groundbreaking". Here's 15 ways to wear florals this Autumn.</div><p></p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Prata; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">THE FLORAL MIDI DRESS</span></h3><div><span style="font-family: Prata; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">At calf length, midi dresses are perfect for Autumn and can be worn with tights or without thanks to their comfortable length. Below I've partnered some of my favourite new season midi dresses with high rise black leather boots and an oversized straw tote bag to add an extension to the Autumnal colour palette.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you wanted to enhance your silhouette on a looser fit dress, try adding a thick waist belt like the one I have linked below to pull you in at the waist.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Prata;"><br /></span></div>

You can easily partner a maxi dress with ankle boots and a fine knit cardigan for cooler temperatures or even make it more of a statement with a seasonal fedora hat.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Prata; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div>

Then you log on to Instagram, and there it is, hundreds of highly edited photos from those travelling the world; modelling bikinis with the figure you've always wanted looking undeniably "perfect"; those getting the keys to their first home and having children in their perfect marriages; those moving to the big city to pursue your dream career; or even those sharing their expensive handbag collection which might be worth more than your life savings. Whilst I'm very much a person who loves seeing others thrive and share their content with the world, on days when you're not feeling quite right these posts can give your inner saboteur the fuel to make you feel ten times more worthless. Of course, it's not the other person's fault that you're having these feelings. 99% of the time, I feel empowered and inspired to set my own goals and I must like their content enough to follow them in the first place. However, it's always okay to admit that it's become too much and take temporary action to step away from it, even without the other party knowing. <p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">Why do we compare?</h3><p>Often we find ourselves stuck in a comparison trap because we compare our behind-the-scenes mundane everyday moments with someone else's success and highlight reel. We each have our own insecurities which can often feel triggered by things we observe or see and that's no different on social media. We may question our accomplishments, appearance and even personality traits. </p><p><br /></p><p>I recently shared a poll on my Instagram stories of which 92% of you agreed that you had compared yourself on social media to someone you didn't even know. 70% of you had unfollowed someone due to these feelings of comparison, and 57% of you mostly compared your lifestyle whereas 43% mostly compared their looks.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">So how can we stop comparing ourselves and our lives to others on social media?</h3><p>There is a few actions you can take.</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Mute Instagram accounts</b> that you are finding triggering. You can do this either temporarily or for the longer term. The other party won't even know you have muted their account as they won't lose you as a follower. By muting them, you won't be seeing posts from them on your feeds anymore. You take more control and you only see their content if you search for it. To mute an account, head to their profile. Click 'Following', then select 'Mute' from the menu, choose whether you'd like to mute posts and/or stories.</li><li><b>Limit your time</b> on social media. Instagram has a handy tool which allows you to set a timer for your daily usage on the platform. You'll get a notification once you've reached that set amount of time for the day and you can decide if it's now time to come off the app. To set your daily activity reminder, head to 'Settings', then 'Your Activity', and 'Set Daily Reminder' choosing an amount of time that suits you. Alternatively, you could consider deleting social media apps from your phone all together. You keep your accounts live but you won't be spending time scrolling as the temptation has gone from your fingertips. You can always re-install whenever you feel like it. </li><li><b>Unfollow accounts</b> that make you feel more negative than positive. This is a longer term solution which will remove that account from your following list and you'll no longer see posts from them on your feed.</li><li><b>Redirect your focus</b> onto the things that really matter to you. Take time out to spend time on things that matter to you. This could be anything from practicing yoga or growing your own to volunteering at the local dog's home. These things that you do that help yourself or others can feel super rewarding and humbling. You'll remember that it's not all about what you have or how you look, but more how you feel and how you help others.</li><li><b>Remind yourself</b> that everybody is on different journeys. You never know what anybody is going through behind closed doors so always, be kind. </li><li><b>Learn to celebrate other people's successes</b> with them rather than compare to your own. Instead of seeing a post and feeling down about yourself, why not comment a compliment and some love heart emojis. They'll hopefully reciprocate and you'll feel good that you were there to support them and be a part of their positive moment. </li><li><b>Try to only follow accounts that inspire you or that you find relatable.</b> </li></ul><h3 style="text-align: center;"><blockquote><i>"Never compare your chapter 1 to somebody else's chapter 20"</i></blockquote></h3><p>When talking about social media comparison, it is easy to forget that there are other aspects of social media which make it an incredible tool. Right now it's connecting us socially more than ever. I can think of so many inspiring people who are using these platforms to share their voice; freelancers who've felt more empowered to take the plunge into self employment; and start ups utilising the power of social media advertising and user generated content to build their brand. As a consumer, it can motivate us, inspire us, connect us and entertain us. We just need to ensure that we use social media in a way that works for us. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully, the tips that I've listed above have helped you and given you some things to try next time you feel overwhelmed by social media comparison.

I'd love to know how you control social media comparison in your own life and the steps you are taking to minimise it.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>Continue the conversation with me over on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/evieroselane/" target="_blank">@evieroselane</a> or by posting a comment below.</i></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/evieroselane/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="130" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2ARpcWtHNdIXlFLosFjS64hscDpNnAV8J6kCNUGfzPJYu5w-cLEV86_uWTqfrcmsfyTJDMi5nWuQpWagOwxcgQ9C5lm3A4IHcJwIkgVKs9O3uv1JmphQmOXdMSApYB62NyHdRIhDrCaw/s0/Blog_Footer.jpg" /></a></div>Evie Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17162074469663101349noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877267948938224815.post-10400585250653532872020-08-28T22:52:00.014+01:002021-10-18T19:28:54.783+01:00How to Make a Flower Crown<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/evieroselane/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img alt="flower crown" border="0" data-original-height="1164" data-original-width="1365" height="545" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBfLFKRppUCEDEWAB84HAvADwLdIc925aLcZJEkbCvR3Fk3m4EwXOX5TzCDNu5imPpOKs6OkgEODobWCLiGLOmOyb7QFnTiQnvUD54ZaZw0msK4fVY1ZLqR4x8tWxCSPzF6XS1Qaw-vko/w640-h545/flowercrown1.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Flower crown making is creativity at its best and it's surprisingly easy to do. In this post, I'll teach you how to make a flower crown for yourself with a few easy steps. We're all guilty of living in a whirlwind of work, social time, family time, eat and sleep, but I certainly feel its important to slow down and have quiet time to create. Plus, they say finding your inner child is good for you and this flower girl is one happy princess. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What you'll need:</span></h3><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Flowers & foliage (I used "The Maya" by <a href="https://refer.bloomandwild.com/m/ol/nx9ya-evie-lane" target="_blank">Bloom&Wild</a>)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Wax floristry tape, like <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pack-Florist-Stem-Tape-Green/dp/B01FEXW3MU/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=floristry+tape&qid=1598650285&sr=8-8" target="_blank">this</a></span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Wire, like <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/BENECREAT-Aluminum-Anodized-Jewelry-Beading/dp/B07WM2PNCQ/ref=sr_1_23?dchild=1&keywords=floristry+wire&qid=1598650314&sr=8-23" target="_blank">this</a></span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">1 metre of ribbon</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Scissors</span></li></ul><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Step by step guide:</span></h3><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">First, measure your wire on the front of your head like a headband, leaving an inch or two behind your ears. Bend each end into loops, big enough for your ribbon to be tied through. Cover any sticking out wire by wrapping your floristry tape over the join. Layer the floristry tape at a 45 degree angle when wrapping, working down the wire as opposed to layering it directly on top of itself.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">In preparation for adding your flowers, tear off pieces of floristry tape at about an inch or two in length. Start cutting the tops off of your foliage and flowers that you wish to incorporate into the crown, but be sure to leave a few inches of stem and don't cut them too short. Sort your flowers into piles by type, then choose your first piece of foliage. Hiding the wire loop, attach the foliage to the end of your crown using one of your teared pieces of tape. Next put together a small bunch of two and attach this to the wire, slightly downward from your first attachment. Each time you add a new piece, try to add in a left, right formation so that your flower crown is beautifully balanced. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Once you've reached the end of your flower crown, be sure to add a piece of foliage in the alternate direction to conceal the second wire loop from sight. Cut your ribbon in half, and tie each piece of ribbon at either end of your crown. Take your crowning moment and tie your flower crown on your head.

It's been a surreal time in all of our lifetimes and although it's not over yet, the UK is slowly opening back up and easing back into normal life. Since we've been inside, I imagine it's been a rollercoaster ride for all of us and I'm sure we've all learned how to cope in different ways, or even not cope.<div><br /><div><div>I suppose I am one of the "lucky ones" as I have managed to stay working from home full time for the whole of the lockdown. With working full time and my own projects, I've stayed quite distracted from the whirlwind of negative news and brain numbing boredom. That's not to say it's been easy though.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><i></i></b><blockquote><b><i>Who would have thought we'd be spending 2020 like this?</i></b></blockquote></div><div><br /></div><div>Like many, I've been separated from family and desperately regretting not getting all of the grandparents set up on the millennial crazed FaceTime before this pandemic (but then who would have thought we'd be spending 2020 like this?). I've kept up regular phone calls, but it's not quite the same as seeing them smile in person and them seeing for themselves that we're doing OK. Throughout the pandemic, the safety of my loved ones has been at the forefront of my worry and I knew I'd have to stay away for precisely that reason. </div><div><br /></div><div>The socially distanced new normal does lead me on to wonder how we'll be as a society moving forward. Will I wince every time someone gets too close to me in public? How will I feel now getting on public transport knowing the likelihood of the virus spreading in such close proximity? When will I stop feeling guilty for touching my loved ones? What do I do in a professional environment if somebody reaches out politely for a handshake? Will I ever feel fully comfortable wearing a mask even though I should?</div><div><br /></div><div><blockquote><b><i>We've had the opportunity to slow down and realise what truly matters.

We now appreciate our NHS teams and key workers more than ever (and rightly so). We remember to check in more often with our loved ones and those living on their own. We now know (hopefully) how to wash our hands to the tune of Happy Birthday, twice. We've had the opportunity to slow down and realise what truly matters. Before this, our modern world was crammed full of stressful commutes, overtime, hectic crowds, selfishness, greed, air pollution and a constantly buzzing mobile phone. I've realised just how fragile life can be and how important it is to spend your time investing in yourself, your home, your health and your loved ones.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/evieroselane/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="blog logo" border="0" data-original-height="130" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWRFkGi4CEanPNIyq3A-km3wmKJfNMGlFipPKhCkNcKMbvwijqSOQL5ne5pln3kU3XpAzpoDXSdQ9S9SXRFg4OuEPaP6bnzlnRgGKyjB_UIpDHmuTSM9bg-bIomoQeNTmUeT8vUbrgudw/s16000/Blog_Footer.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This post contains affiliate links.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><div class="shopthepost-widget" data-widget-id="4099518"><script type="text/javascript">!function(w,i,d,g,e,t){d.getElementById(i)||(element=d.createElement(t),element.id=i,element.src="https://widgets.rewardstyle.com"+e,d.body.appendChild(element)),w.hasOwnProperty(g)===!0&&"complete"===d.readyState&&w[g].init()}(window,"shopthepost-script",document,"__stp","/js/shopthepost.js","script")</script><div class="rs-adblock"><img onerror="this.parentNode.innerHTML="Disable your ad blocking software to view this content."" src="https://assets.rewardstyle.com/production/2e66b92e3cb723e05750acd4484ef856c5c0c7f3/images/search/350.gif" style="height: 15px; width: 15px;" /><noscript>JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Ingredients</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
250g porridge oats<br />
185g baking margarine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100g light brown sugar</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100g golden syrup</div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Equipment you'll need</span></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1x 20x30cm baking tray</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1x medium saucepan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A wooden spoon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Baking paper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weighing scales</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Prep time: 10 mins<br />Baking time: 20 mins<br />Oven setting: 160 degrees or gas mark 3</span></span></h3>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Instructions</span></span></h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Firstly, line your tin with baking paper. I cut diagonal slits in each corner of the baking paper (about the same depth as the tin) so that it can be easily folded to fit the shape of the tin. Before you start preparing, be sure to set your oven to 160 degrees. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In a large saucepan, melt the <span style="text-align: center;">185g baking margarine,</span> <span style="text-align: center;">100g light brown sugar, and 100g of golden syrup. </span>Heat gently, stirring occasionally until melted. Once melted, take the saucepan off the heat and fold in your 250g porridge oats. Once fully bound together, pour out the mixture evenly into your tin and spread evenly with the back of your wooden spoon or spatula.<br />
<br /></div>

Peony season is my favourite floral event of the year. It's an absolute pleasure to have these big blooms grace our home and gardens, if only for a few short months. It feels like an annual celebration of what the world can offer and I am always truly sad to see it pass.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">From buds to blooms</span></h3>
<br />
Before they go for another year, I thought I'd pull together my top tips for how I get the most out of my cut peonies. If you've bought or grown peonies before, you'll know they begin as tightly formed buds, typically covered in a little sap. Within a few days, they'll begin to blossom into big bountiful blooms and give you the biggest surprise. Peony buds can actually expand 3x the size of the bud once fully opened up. Don't worry if the buds have a few dark spots or look a little stained, this is completely normal. You can encourage your buds to open if you're growing impatient by gently wiping the sap off with a damp cloth and placing in a warmer sunnier spot.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Keep them for longer</span></h3>
<br />
Although stunning, peonies tend to last for around 5 days or more once cut and placed in an arrangement. To help your peonies last longer, keep them cool in cold water when you first bring them home or cut them from your garden. Prepare them for arranging by stripping the leaves below the waterline or further up depending on your desired style. Cut the stems 3-5cm from the bottom in a diagonal chop. This will help the peonies absorb more water as soon as they get put into the vase. After three days, trim the stems down a few cm again and top up the water. Remove any petals that may look brown, dead or mushy as these will rapidly encourage your peonies to go over.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Clean vases for happier blooms</span></h3>
<br />
Ensure you have a clean vase ready as any bacteria may cause the peonies to die off quicker than normal. Fill your vase with cool water and mix in flower food to give the flowers the best chance for surviving indoors for longer.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Where to buy?</span></h3>
<br />
You could partner your peonies with other flowers, such as roses, lisianthus, or freesias for a seasonal bouquet or enjoy them as a stand alone statement. You can usually buy peonies in the supermarket with your weekly shop but if you're currently unable to go due to the lockdown rules, you can also order them as letterbox delivered flowers online from websites such as <a href="https://refer.bloomandwild.com/m/ol/nx9ya-evie-lane">Bloom&Wild</a>.

If you're looking for ways to stay active indoors or if you're a fellow gym-goer who's now needing to get creative to stay active, I can help. First of all, plan your day. Filling your time, goal setting, and sticking to your schedule will lead you to feel more productive and satisfied. While planning my own day at home, I factor in the following points to keep me active and feeling energised...<br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Morning Yoga</span></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Every morning, I'll lay out my yoga mat in my living room. I'll ask Alexa to play calming music and I'll stretch my body into yoga poses. I typically do this for 30 minutes, sometimes longer or sometimes less. Some days, you'll feel a lot more able than others - able to spend more time, able to feel the stretch, or able to hold that pose for a little longer. Don't let this stop you, because it is completely normal and the more you practice the more you'll improve in the longer term. Adding yoga into your morning routine gently wakes up your body, it frees your mind for motivation, and it sets a positive tone for your day. </div>

<h3>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Practice Mindfulness</span></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm sure we can all count times in the past few weeks where we have felt completely overwhelmed by everything that's going on around us. Whenever I feel overwhelmed by my worries, I'll set aside five minutes to focus on my breathing and calm my mind. My favourite way to do this is to sit cross legged on the floor. Place your hands comfortably out in front of you or softly place them on your knees. Close your eyes, and take a deep breath in through your nose, hold that breath for two seconds, then slowly breathe out through your mouth. Repeat this for a few minutes, allowing your mind to solely focus on your breathing. Once you feel ready to return to your day in a calmer state, open your eyes and slowly come out of the position. After doing this exercise, take note of how you felt before and after. Be sure to set aside time for it in your daily schedule.</div>

<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Workout at Home</span></span></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Working out makes you feel active and alive, it's no different when you're doing it at home. After finishing my tasks for the day, I'll change back into my favourite activewear outfit and conduct a home workout. Bodyweight exercises and abs circuits are excellent if you don't have much equipment at home. If you have resistance bands or weights, use them! Alternatively, don't feel afraid to get creative, a water bottle makes for a great dumbbell substitute. If you're feeling stuck for motivation, play your favourite workout playlist and plan your workout like you do your daily tasks. Ticking exercises off as you go is a great way to feel fulfilled and proud of yourself for getting your sweat on!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">These nutty peanut butter brownies are definitely one of my most favourite treats to bake. They're a great surprise for special </span>occasions<span style="font-family: inherit;"> and fantastic for sharing. Anyone with nut allergies or diabetes must avoid as they do contain peanuts and a whole lot of sugar, but the rest of the party will not be disappointed. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
225g crunchy peanut butter<br />
200g dark chocolate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
250g light brown sugar</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 medium eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100g self raising flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Optional extras for decoration</div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Equipment you'll need</span></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1x baking tray</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1x medium saucepan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A wooden spoon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Baking paper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weighing scales</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Prep time: 20 mins<br />Baking time: 35 mins<br />Oven setting: 180 degrees</span></span></h3>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Instructions</span></span></h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Firstly, line your tin with baking paper. I cut diagonal slits in each corner of the baking paper (about the same depth as the tin) so that it can be easily folded to fit the shape of the tin. Before you start preparing, be sure to set your oven to 180 degrees. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Put aside 50g of the broken up dark chocolate, adding the remaining 150g to the saucepan, along with the 225g peanut butter and 250g sugar. Heat gently, stirring occasionally until melted. Once melted, take the saucepan off the heat and beat in the 3 eggs. Once fully bound together, stir in the 100g of flour (I always use gluten free flour, it works well for this recipe if you're gluten intolerant too). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, pour out the mixture evenly into your tin and add any extras, including the 50g of chocolate that you set aside earlier. In the batch I made above, I substituted the 50g of dark chocolate for 50g of mini eggs - this is a great adaptation for something different.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bake in the oven for 35 minutes. When ready, take out and allow the brownies to cool before cutting into squares.<br />
