20 Things To Do If You're Bored During Lockdown

Hello hello, I hope you are all so well right now. It’s a given that not one of us would choose to be enduring a global pandemic but here we are and we have to get through it somehow. That somehow could mean giving into the grief of it all and letting it get the better of us, or it could mean accepting that we are in it together whether we like it or not and trying to find a way to make the best out of it. The future is bright. We have so much to look forward to. Making the best out of a bad situation is not something anyone wants to do but I have to say throughout this, making the best of things is something I am seeing happen all over the world and it makes me so proud of us as a human race. When we have to dig deep we do and we have the resilience to deal with anything. It's important to remember sunshine always follows the rain! I'm someone who always makes my to do list longer than my arm and always finds a way to keep busy, I'm not saying that's a good thing as I think it's equally as important to stop and rest, however, we all deal with things in our own way. A challenge for me is taking it slowly and doing nothing at all. I have had a lot of messages from people saying they're bored or want some ideas of things to do during this period, so I hope this post will inspire you.

Remember: we are not 'stuck at home' we are lucky to be safe and well at home.

*MAY 29th UPDATE* 20% off everything at asos! 

Not gonna lie, asos has always been a fave of mine. It's one of those websites I've grown up with, from the days when they showed you how to copy a celebrities style, to now, one of the biggest retailers of all time. It's exciting and I just love them as a company, I was even lucky enough to visit their factory a few years back and totally fan girled. I spotted they've got a pretty epic sale on so I keep updating this blog post with their latest promo codes and sales (not sponsored, I wish, asos take all my money lol) it was where you got 20% off everything when you spent £100. It was perfect if you already had your eye on something or you were saving for one of the big brand names but now can get 20% off SALE prices today - maybe you just want some comfy clothes or new trainers. Open up, I've put together the best buys. If you were wanting something from asos anyway, you may as well do it with 20% off! Shop asos.

Marble leggings sold out but similar here, here and here. Grey sports bra online here. 

Hey guys hope you are so well, my inbox on Instagram has been out of control (in a good way hehe) recently with people asking me for recommendations for the best leggings so I thought today it was time to talk to you about that! I am going to be talking about the best workout leggings (squat proof leggings, of course) and sweat proof leggings for workouts plus just really lovely leggings for day to day wear because who doesn't want to wear leggings with a comfy jumper over the top? The best thing is, most of these leggings double up, let's call it athleisure, you can wear them to pilates or for a run but also, wear them with a nice jumper over the top too. We love a multi-tasking wardrobe item.

Favourite Beauty And Skincare Products During Lockdown

Ad affiliate used throughout and Ad gifted products featured, not sponsored - 

Hey everyone, firstly, I hope you are well and safe, that's what matters the most right now. You might be getting your happiness from going for runs right now, eating or making banana bread, having a nap, keeping busy or just doing a face mask, whatever little thing it is that's making you happy right now, take it! There's no right or wrong here. I've really toned down my make up regime during lockdown, aka, barely applying make up but focusing more on replenishing everything, using good hair masks, face masks, having the time to moisturise and do lots of home workouts. I've been applying make up and doing my hair maybe once a week, the days I've got photo/video shoot days or Zoom client calls ha *side note, most of the time I look like a sweaty, potato so please don't feel you need a whole beauty routine during lockdown, it's what works for you* but also, I get pleasure out of a good face and hair mask and a nice pamper so I've been enjoying indulging too. I just thought I'd write a little round up of the top beauty products I am loving right now during lockdown.

My Baking And Healthier Snacks Recipe E-Book - Healthier Easy Recipes

Ad my own product - all photos edited using EmsPresets 

Hi guys hope you are so well! Over the weekend I finally launched my recipe ebook eek! I am so excited to finally have it live and ready to go, honestly I have wanted to make this for you forever. I can't believe how many of you have shared creations you've been making already! As most of you will know if you've read any of the recipes on my blog or seen them on my Instagram over the last few years, I have loved baking for years. This isn't just a jumping on the banana bread hype train kinda thing during lockdown (however, those who have found their love for baking and banana bread thanks to lockdown, I salute you hehe).

I have actually grown up baking, making a mess in the kitchen and I definitely get this baking love from my Grandmas. For me, baking is like therapy. None of us want to be in a position where we are living through a pandemic but a silver lining from lockdown that I am prepared to take is that I have more time to finally bake! It's something I saved just for weekends before, but now, I've been whipping up things most days haha! I've been wanting to launch my own little place with all my favourite recipes (and exciting new ones) for quite some time and I thought, ‘come on girl, use this time to do something you’ve always dreamed about', and that’s what I did! It was already in motion, but we picked up the pace a little! I thought I would write this blog post in the hopes it answers any questions you may have about my baking e-book and to give you some more information! Thank you so much in advance for your support. #EatWithEm

PS. I've added my favourite baking ingredients and you can buy them online too!

5 Wellbeing Tips When Staying At Home / Habitat Outdoor Furniture Review

Ad in collaboration with Habitat -

Mindset wise I keep reminding myself that we are not 'stuck' at home (although I know it may feel that way), we are lucky if we are able to stay safe in our homes so I am really trying to enjoy being at home and get the most out of it. I rarely spend much time at home because I am usually travelling so I am trying to remain positive and I guess, enjoy this little *pause* in life. I'm receiving a lot of messages asking for my tips on how to stay motivated and positive during this time so I hope this may help you. I've always loved Spring and whilst this year I've been looking at the blossom trees from afar, this lockdown has finally given me the chance to get my garden in shape, something which has actually made me feel super positive, having a nice little space to sit in. I have a lovely garden in Yorkshire, I am fortunate enough to have lots of space there, so it was always strange adapting to city life in London where you pay a premium for literally a block in the outdoors but I am grateful for what I have and felt I need to start using it because fresh air is SO good for the soul. 

Today I am going to show you my new little sanctuary outside and also talk about my top wellbeing tips when staying at home during this period in the hopes it makes you feel positive. I hope it helps you if you're maybe feeling a little lack-lustre or uninspired/unmotivated, oh and I can finally show you and talk to you about my new garden furniture with Habitat. PS. Habitat have also written up 6 tips to balance your mental wellbeing at home too! 

Which Fitness Tracking Watch Should I Buy? The Best Smart Watch - Apple, Garmin Or Fitbit Watch Review

Ad affiliate - Shop the: Gym leggings / gym bra / Garmin watch USA or UK/ white top

Ad affiliate/gifted items throughout, post isn't sponsored -

Hello hello! I have received an influx of messages recently asking me about my fitness watch and I feel as if now is the perfect time to write up my review of the three *most asked about* fitness watches. In my opinion, that would be the Apple Watch, a Garmin watch or a Fitbit. I feel in a good position to write about these as myself and my family use fitness watches every single day so we can hopefully draw up a comparison for you if you are thinking of getting one. I personally own a Garmin and wear it every single day right now (I am testing it against my FitBit!), a FitBit and an Apple Watch! My parents and brother swear by their Fitbits and wear them every single day (they have done for YEARS) and my boyfriend pinched my Apple Watch off me and uses that every day so between us, we have trialled and tested them all! I hope this will help you if you are looking for a fitness tracking watch or a smart watch.

How To Support Small Businesses During The Corona Crisis - Ways To Help The Economy During Covid-19

Ad affiliate - jumpsuit / 

The world has turned a little *okay a lot* crazy over the last month, so I wanted to write this blog post in the hope that it might help out our small and local businesses during this worrying time (it would be much appreciated if you could give it a share). I’ve been sharing lots of businesses on my Instagram recently and have also tried as hard as I can to personally send as many gifts to frontline staff during the corona virus as I can, just as a little token to say you’re truly appreciated: it’s not what I have sent that’s important, it’s the intention behind it, I just want to say a huge thank you for being there for us throughout this and acknowledge that I understand these are people with their own lives who are putting their lives at risk to help us all. I’m in awe of every single one of them.

On that note, before I get in to the nitty gritty about how we can help small businesses survive throughout this, I think it is really important to acknowledge that the single biggest priority for us all right now is to stay safe. We are in survival mode and if the most we do is survive then that’s okay. We can start again when we are through this. The sad losses that our country and our world have and continue to suffer is the biggest priority to overcome so when I write about the importance of helping small businesses, it is absolutely secondary to that priority.

The Best At Home Coffee Machines - Top Coffee Machines

Jumper online here / edited using EmsPresets  - AD own product 

Ad affiliate -

Never have I had such an influx of messages on Instagram asking me for home gym equipment, healthy baking recipes AND messages about my trusty, beasty coffee machine! It seems as people are working from home, they're wanting more home comforts, whether it's the best yoga mat for home workouts or a really good coffee machine. I'm the kinda girl who likes to go to a cafe and spend ludicrous amounts on an iced latte (even in winter), a flat white or a matcha latte - I see it as a real special, social occasion, my boyfriend on the otherhand loves adding up his savings and profit after using our coffee machine for coffees at home rather than buying coffee out and about (it makes presents so easy, I am forever buying him high quality coffee beans, he's such a coffee snob). It doesn't matter which one you are, if like us, you love coffee (or hot chocolate, or frothed milk or iced lattes - because trust me, these coffee machines are so much more than just coffee) then this is the blog post for you with the top coffee machines for all budgets. I am seeing A LOT of coffee chat at the moment, mainly thanks to TikTok and the famous whipped coffee (dalgona coffee recipe going viral). We did SO much research when buying our coffee machine but after so many questions I thought I'd write a blog post with my top 8 coffee machines for all price ranges on the market right now. Remember: a good coffee machine costs thousands, in good coffee shops they will have paid an unbelievable amount of their coffee machines however, I am going to talk about some affordable ones too with great reviews which will hopefully satisfy even the biggest of coffee snobs.

Fabletics Review - Fabletics Leggings - What To Buy From Fabletics + How Does Fabletics VIP Work?

Advertorial Ad - It's no secret I adore Fabletics, in fact I have now been wearing their products for nearly two years. I had never heard of them before but the minute I put their leggings on, I knew it was love (and can I just say, a testament to the quality of their products, I still have their items from two years ago in my wardrobe and wear Fabletics a fair few times a week for very intense exercise!). Today I thought I'd do an in depth review of Fabletics as a brand as I get lots of questions about them. It means I can talk to you about the Fabletics VIP program too. If you are wondering about Fabletics, hopefully this blog post will help you and, it's a nice re-introduction to one of the best activewear brands out there.

Hello hello hello, it seems the world has gone workout crazy which can only be a good thing (as long as you are safe distancing/working out indoors and listening to government guidelines #stayhome!) I have had so many requests to talk about my favourite trainers as I keep mentioning them on Instagram so I thought I would do a blog post discussing my favourite trainers so you’ve got a place to bookmark and come back to, with more of an in-depth chat. If you're looking for a good pair of lifelong trainers, this blog post is for you because the majority of them are discounted right now too #winning. Over the years I have worn SO many trainers, whether that’s for running, climbing, walking around New York for hours per day, crazy HIIT classes or wherever life takes me so I hope this blog post with my top trainers will help! These have all been thoroughly tested by me so hopefully this will help you find some good new trainers.

P.S, most of these trainers are unisex too.

Lounge wear seems to be selling out quicker than toilet roll and pasta right now, seriously, who'd have thought? Well, I mean I get it, there's nothing better than comfort in your own home. I mean, I've always been a massive loungewear fan, whether I'm wearing it to the airport, to lectures when I was at University, on my supermarket run or, around the house. The great thing about loungewear is it's comfortable, super chilled but you can also look good in it too, I thought I'd put together a blog post with my top loungewear picks and all my favourite at home comfy lounge clothes, whether you're working from home, chilling from home or just want to be super comfortable wherever you may be, I hope this will help with comfy clothes to wear at home.

I was SO excited to try my first bottle of BondiBoost, it was a good day indeed. If you guys are familiar with my hair struggles, you'll know that I've been trying to strengthen my damaged hair for years. I've written many blog posts about hair growth, including top products for growing hair and simply how to grow your hair, growing the hair or fixing damaged hair really is a long process but with good products and a good hairdresser (I'm looking at you Sassoon Salon), I am slowly getting there. I am asked almost daily if there are any miracle hair growth products or if there are any ways to fix the hair quickly. A new product range has been in my life over the last three months and I am so excited to review BondiBoost today, Australia's miracle haircare brand!

I asked on Instagram what kind of content you guys would like from me and as many people around the world are currently self-isolating or in quarantine (or at the very least, social distancing in order to protect those who are vulnerable and our incredible emergency services/health workers/teachers/police carers/front line staff tc) or generally stuck at home due to the corona virus, many asked for some tips on how to stay fit and healthy from home, whilst gyms are closed too so I hope these tips will help you feel fit and healthy from your house.

Thinking of going on a ski trip or snowboarding vacation? I am hoping this skiing and snowboarding holiday tips post will help you. I did write one of these during my last ski trip with top tips for your first ski holiday but I’m hoping, after my second ski trip this may help you even more with everything you need to know about planning your ski holiday. I’ll never forget how apprehensive, scared and confused I was before my first ski trip. I never went on ski trips with my family growing up (we love hot weather haha) so I was incredibly confused about how it works, how do you even get up a mountain? What’s a lift pass? Why am I paying to put my life at risk? What do you wear on a ski trip? What do you pack for a ski trip? How hard is it for an adult to learn how to ski? Hopefully this will answer any questions about your ski trip. Note: I say ski trip because I personally chose to ski over snowboard (weird as I did have snowboarding lessons growing up!) but most of this relates to a snowboarding trip too.

You may absolutely hate Valentines Day (I can already feel the sly digs on social media on Feb 14th to anyone who dares to celebrate Valentines Day coming lol) but I personally love it, yes it’s a commercialised holiday (hello you’re talking to the queen of falling for anything commercialised) and yes I show my boyfriend I love him every day of the year, but I do enjoy soaking up the Valentines day love and that’s not a crime. If you’re reading this I assume you love Valentines Day too, below you’ll find lots of gift ideas including some different gift ideas for Valentines Day and I hope it will help you if you’re looking for Valentines gift ideas.

One of my favourite blog posts to write (albeit a mammoth task hehe) is my yearly beauty round up. I adore beauty products and I'm grateful I've been able to trial out so many incredible brands over the last few years. I have my favourite brands and there are always products that stick in my make up bag or bathroom shelf year after year (I'd recommend keeping an eye on my vlogs and the beauty section of my blog to see what I'm using and loving throughout the year) but then, there are newbies that creep their way into my life too. I wanted to write my 2019 beauty favourites blog post so you can see what beauty products are worth the money and which products I adored and grabbed over and over again over the last year, many, coming with me into 2020! As a beauty lover, I think it's so important to celebrate and rave about the brands I used the most throughout the year so let's do this. Let's go!

Heading to New York for the first time? The 10th time? The 2nd time? It doesn't matter if it's your first or 10th, there will always be something new to see and do in New York.

I've done all the hard work so you don't have to and you can just enjoy your trip, it can be quite stressful trying to cram in the best restaurants and things to do whilst trying to have a holiday on top. I'm always blown away with how many messages I get on Instagram (@emshelx) telling me you guys have based your trips on mine, I'm grateful to hear you trust in my recommendations. I already wrote a New York Guide and updated it after every visit but I thought it was time to bring all my New York knowledge into a new blog post, so here it is, this is my new hub for all things New York, whether you're wondering what time is the best time to visit New York, what area is the best area to say in when visiting New York or you're just wondering what things you should see and do in New York, this is for you. Get comfy, get this bookmarked, share it with your nearest and dearest and let's talk about the best things to see and do in New York.  Here's everything you need to know for your trip to New York (including where to get the BEST PIZZA in New York and where to get the best brunch in New York and the best restaurants in New York ha).

I feel like I wrote my huge New York city travel guide a while back, then wrote my guide to the best pizza in New York and shortly after followed with the best places for breakfast and brunch in New York. I'm asked about the best places to eat in New York on a daily basis so I thought it only made sense to write an updated blog post with my guide to the best restaurants in New York. If you follow me on Instagram you'll know I take my food very seriously and do A LOT of research and cross checking before I try out any restaurant so you can trust this guide. Remember, you could live in New York for 10 years and still not eat at every single restaurant, it really is the foodie capital of the world, there are so many places I still need to try and add to this list. So here it is, my guide to the best places to eat in New York and all of my favourite restaurants for lunch and dinner.

Ah January, I've missed you. The road to warmer months is here... If you watched my 20 goals for 2020 video, you'll probably know that I actually don't mind January, it gets a bad rep as the worst month, but for me it's a nice quiet month and one where I can re-energise, get myself organised and honestly, it always makes me feel inspired. It's a chance to start fresh and start new habits. I'm one big cliche but 'New Year New Me', sits well with me. It's your excuse to start fresh so why not take it? On Instagram I'm often asked how I get motivated to work out, so as I sit here 3x carrot cake muffins down (no-one is perfect), I thought it was time to give you 8 ways to be motivated with your workouts this year.
