akeela - My winter days are warmed by good company, good food and of course, good make-up!
bubbles2009 - i brighten up my winter days spending time with my gorgeous fiance and beautiful little girl who is 15 months old. i love when its the weekend and we can go shopping or for walks together. id love to try some mineral makeup as if im not going anywhere important i like to let my skin breathe so this would be good to be natural but bit of cover also.
dominiga5 - I bright up my winter days by playing my fav tunes loud in the morning and dance to them, than long and energetizing shower followed by cup of coffee and bright make up :)
dizilizi - I brighten up my day by training fopr my charity trek in Peru I am doing in May
annamattandlily - Taking our doggy a long walk with my hubby and boys, whether collating to make a collage, or wreath, sledging, making shelters or enjoing a picnic enjoying family time in the open really puts a big smile on my face
darleyx5 - I'm almost 8 months pregnant with 2 other children and their smiley faces when they get up and see the snow cheer me up.
me.1978 - To brighten up my winters I get my friends round for really made home cooked dinners, sharing a few bottles of red or two.
I also like to have nice candle lit baths with lovely fresh smelling bubble bath and relaxing music playing to.
swiffwinn – I love to brighten up my winter days with a sunny and vibrant lipstick and if that doesn't work too well, a glass of good Chilean red wine in front of the fire brightens things up a treat every time!
BeverleyA - Not much can brighten up a winter day for me! When it's reallly miserable, I tend to hibernate with a good book, a nice hot mug of tea, hot water bottle and a packet of Fruit Gums!
susancr - i brighten my days up by filling my home with loads of fresh flowers which puts a smile on the whole familys face.makes me feel like its spring everyday what ever the weather..
lazyzoe - I brighten up my winter days by putting on my purple winter coat, persuading my toddler into her red polka dot wellies, and finding puddles to jump in!
shazz1 – on cold winter days i try to do at least a hour of aerobics everyday this gets the blood circulating and gives you the feel good factor
i then relax with a bath and after go for a mile walk at tea time
then watch telly at night. once a fornight at the weekend me and my husband like to toast bread on the fire the old fashioned way then snuggle up together to watch dvds with popcorn and munchies
joanneft - Flowers in my garden give me such a boost; I am currently counting the days when I can start to potter around and plant as many fragrant plants as I can and enjoy their heady scent. Pure pleasure x
