Do you want to take a look behind the scenes at what I got up to at the Boux Active event?Of course you do! Here’s a little sneak peek…
I arrived early to a luxe rooftop venue in Shoreditch, London, with a coffee and croissant in hand… much needed for the early start I had! I was wearing my new favourite Boux Active set, it was hard to choose between them all, but in the end I decided on the Snake crop top and matching leggings. This set features an all over snake print, mesh panelling and a high-waisted fit for a sleek and stylish look.
The event was hosted by the lovely Emily Mou, a fabulous Yoga instructor who is also a personal trainer too! She arrived shortly after me and we showed her into the room where the yoga class was taking place. She held the class in a fabulous room, which featured floor to ceiling windows and the perfect view of London city life, it was the dreamiest location!
The room was laid out with Boux Avenue personalised yoga mats, and there was even a tropical leaf flower wall (which I knew I would make extra use of later, for all of my Insta snaps!).
I was super excited for this event, not only were we showcasing new Activewear but I was about to meet some of my fave influencers too! We even had the lovely Jess Wright attending, who would be hosting a Q&A after brunch. As everyone started to arrive they were all welcomed with drinks and shown around the space, everyone was wearing their new Boux Activewear and they all looked so stylish!
Once everyone had arrived, Emily called us all into the room where we had the most amazing yoga class! She taught us breath awareness, followed by a warm up and then a series of poses to develop strength and flexibility. The activewear proved perfect for the class as it was squat-proof and breathable!
After the class finished we were all given delicious smoothies which gave the perfect fruity pick-me-up and were shown to another room to have some brunch. The room was decorated so lovely with the ultimate Boux touch, with gorgeous floral centrepieces and a Boux bag filled with goodies on each seat.
There was so much to choose from for brunch, from eggs & avocado on toast to fruity pancakes and cream, we were all spoilt for choice! After our yummy brunch, our lovely VIP guest Jess Wright gave an amazing talk about how she motivates herself when working out, ‘I like to mix it up with workouts such as barre, yoga… and I’ve been really loving reformer Pilates recently – I think it’s really good to introduce different forms of exercise into your regime so that you don’t get bored, as I get bored of just going to the gym.’
Jess also spoke about how she balances her busy lifestyle, ‘Life is all about balance, I’m never going to be that girl who has a completely perfect body and I’m okay with that. I’m such a party girl, I love going out with my friends for dinner, I love to eat, and if I’m out enjoying myself I’m not going to not have a drink. If I’m trying to be good and cut down, I’ll swap a prosecco for a tequila, soda and lime.’
She even gave us some top fitness tips and her secret smoothie recipe which I will be putting to the test at the weekend, ‘I change it up a lot so it’s not always the same but I generally throw in some spinach, celery, ginger, one apple, kale, half a cucumber… it’s quite straight-forward, but you learn as you go along and experiment with different quantities and ingredients.’
And just when I thought the day couldn’t get any better, we were treated with the yummiest vegan cupcakes from Crumbs and Doilies, they were almost too good to eat! We finished the day with a few more snaps in front of the flower wall and we said our goodbyes to Emily, Jess and the rest of the blogger girls. It was such an amazing event and I met so many inspiring people, I’m already looking forward to the next one!
