Try pushing a Pin or sewing needle through the tulip stork about 1 inch down from the flower head. Remove the pin, it allows the flower head to stand upright due to getting a better water supply. Most nurses know this trick after years of trying to look after patients flower gifts from family members. Loved the trousers by the way.
Hi Maria. I have a few of the M&S cool comfort full length slips in neutral and black to wear under dresses. They stop the static and also help if the dress is a bit see through. They are not too hot at all and I would highly recommend them as they are so stretchy, smooth and incredibly comfortable xx
Hi Maria clothes are lovely ...the print is lovely on the first dress ... I've heard if you put a two pence in the water with tulips, they don't flop over ..strange I know but apparently it work x
I loved the crochet jumper with the black trousers, they really suited you. I thought the top you liked was pretty but perhaps a little on the short side. I wasn't keen on the first dress and preferred the second shift dress although it's a pity the neck wasn't a bit lower. Thank you so much for sharing Maria, I always enjoy your videos 🙂
Hi Maria. Not keen on the first dress but liked the black & white one. Top was lovely but i prefer it a bit longer. Loved the jumper and trousers. Always put a 1p or 2p in with tulips. They look pretty as do your planters xx
My favourites were the black trousers and the black and white top …… plus, if you can get it in the right size, the denim skirt and the beige patterned top. Thanks for the video. X
Thanks for the tip I shall try that next time . I got tulips for Mother’s Day too but they had travelled and were as limp as a vicars handshake😃 I used the copper trick and they are now standing to attention so I’m guessing both methods work.🌷🌷
I put a copper coin in my tulip vase it seems to help ! Thanks for doing the haul. I think next sizes are small - I have to size up. I thought the dress was pretty. Rub a tumble dryer sheet over it - that helps with static. X
Hi Marie, I loved both dresses, especially the 2nd one. Also the jumper and black trousers beautiful on. Your planters are coming on beautifully, they look so nice x
Hi Maria I’m loving the Black white Jumper it would be versatile to wear with other garments .. best choice for me I’m off to order one .. Thank you xx
Hello Maria, I liked the print on the first dress and black and white is a classic. I think the skirt would look great on you..the jumper is gorgeous and the blouse is flattering on you...Happy Mother's day...We celebrate Mother's day in America in May.
I liked all the clothes you tried on especially the ist dress.The black trousers and jumper looked lovely too.I hope you had a lovely mother's day with your family.I enjoyed mine too thank you.x.
The black and white dress is lovely, aswell as the jumper and black trousers. I'm not so keen on the first dress and the cream top looks lovely from the front, shame the back is plain, it doesn't look right. And try the denim skirt in the next size, it looks nice. X
All the clothes were lovely, just need the right sizes. It’s hard work getting size right and I also find M and S a bit bigger usually. I’ve also ordered an ecru skirt like that one - from M and S not Next - hoping it fits xx
Hello Maria, your top would look lovely with those white trousers you showed us from your Roman haul. Also, I've been told to put a 2p piece in with tulips, it stops them from flopping over. Great video. Thank you for sharing 😊.
Take the tulips out of the water. Snip the stems in a diagonal cut. Put a straight pin through the stem nearest the flower head. Put the flowers in some warm water 1/2 mins and then plunge them into very cold water in the vase. Should revive them and prevent the others falling over. The stems are hollow and sometimes can be come air locked.
Hi and good afternoon. I really love that linen dress but not that keen on that first dress in all fairness. That top is brilliant as you could wear Khaki chinos with that or white. All the best Rhian x
Hi Maria, you looked lush in all the clothes. They all suited you. My sister buys a lot in next and she mentioned last week that the clothes were much smaller, it’s not very good when you have to return them. Your pots outside are gorgeous. I can’t wait to get my summer ones out. Take care xxx
Oh - I found the opposite (either that or I'm shrinking!). I went in for some basic linen trousers which I buy most years and have gone down from a 16 to a 14 . Might possibly be because they've got elastic in the back this year though. Sizing is a nightmare these days - I have a coat in my wardrobe that's a size 12 and a top that's a 20 and both of them fit me well. What can I say?
Second dress looked really nice on you Maria, but I didn't like the first dress at all. Black trousers and the jumper are great. Thanks for sharing and the tulips maybe needed a taller vase to help keep them upright. Xx
Hi Maria. Cut a bit of the bottom then wrap them up tightly in paper and pop back in cold water leave for a couple of hours and should be fine. Tip from a florist xxx
Not keen on the dresses but the skirt in the larger size and the top are lovely. They really suit you. Black trousers and jumper lovely! Great video Maria.
Hi Maria, I actually like everything you chose, looked lovely, I'm going shopping with my daughter today and definitely popping into Next. My dad used to put chicken pellets in his garden to try and keep cats from pooping in my mams flower beds, it absolutely stunk x
Hi Maria ❤the dress , jumper , as for the tulips if you cut a little bit of the stems wrap them in paper , put them in your vase in water leave for 30mins , then take them out of paper . i saw it on facebook hope it works ❤
I think the problem with the first dress is the fact it is polyester. Shame. Loved the design - it is a bit different and I am sure the next size would be ideal. The black and white dress is really good - lov3 the low back- just a pity they ma de the front so high. Shame about the white skirt but I bet you will find the next size just perfect - it will suit you. The sweater is super…looks great on you together with those linen trousers. Definitely going to look for those. So pleased your nails are growing. I take collagen each day and am really pleased with it.xx Liz
Hi Maria , I only liked the linen trousers & jumper . I went into Next last week & was very disappointed with there stock . But Thankyou for showing the items . Glad to see your plants are still ok . I told my husband , so a good tip 👍.
Ugh static - Sometimes you do get items which need to be dunked into a bowl of fabric conditioner before you can wear but you don't really expect to have to do it for the more expensive brands do you? Love the black and white dress. I wish they'd do some of those pull on linen dresses a bit longer though - I like better coverage over my knobbly knees.
Pretty Top but I think you suit longer tops.I like the Trousers and jumper good fit.Are you still doing slimming world only you haven't mentioned it lately.
Prick the neck of the tulip with a pin or needle not sure why this works stops them wilting .. Love the jumper and trousers ,I don't like the green and brown dress on you . The black and white dress is nice .
Hi Maria, like trousers & jumper combo, although jumper expensive @ £36. Black n white dress I liked till I saw the back, too low. Sorry but the rest was a miss from me 😢
Didnit like the first dress was clinging possibly because it was polyester The rest of the haul was good on you. The tulips need to be punched with a needle on the stem near the flower head to allow air to be expelled.Happy Mothers Day.🎉
Not keen on first dress and the second one could be a bit longer, as could the top. Tulips continue to grow and will bend over but I think they look better than all standing up straight.
Sorry didn't like the first dress and the 2nd one next seen to have then every year in diff designs so not keen on them but loved the crocheted jumper It looked fab on you❤
The black and white linen dress suited you.The jumper and black trousers looked great.The rest l did not like the first dress was expensive and looked awfully cheap.The top was too short and was not flattering.But l am not a fan of Next l must say.
Hi Maria,I didn’t like the first dress on you,or the top,I don’t think clothes with a band under the bust looks good on you,it makes you look more prominent in the tummy,the black and white dress didn’t do that,I like the look of the skirt,but if it gaped as much as you said, you may need to go up two sizes,the jumper isn’t my style,but it looked okay on you,I liked the black pants.Hope you had a lovely Mother’s Day
Loved the 2nd dress, you have great arms for it. The trousers and jumper looked really nice. Not keen on the top and 1st dress, when fitted under the bust it can emphasise the stomach ❤
Love black and cream jumper with black trousers
Thank you x
Black and white jumper stunning loved it 😊
Thank you x
A quick tip for the tulips push a needle through the stem an inch below the flower
Great tip! Thank you x
Try putting a pin hole about an inch below the flower head ( in the stem) that always works. Loved the clothing haul. X
Works for me too!
Thanks for the tip!
The black and cream jumper was lovely.
Thank you x
Loved all of them but my fav was the crochet top! Stunning!
Thank you x
Hi love the second dress and the jumper and black trews. Thank you for sharing 😊

I have put a two pence in the water, pricked the stem under the tulip head and they are standing straight now. Thx for the tip x
I loved the crochet jumper with the black trousers, they really suited you. I thought the top you liked was pretty but perhaps a little on the short side.

Try 2p or 4p in your tulips always works for me. Loved the black & white jumper 😊
Thank you x
The only thing I liked was the black and white summer dress.
Liked the crochet jumper and black trousers on you very much.❤

With tulips I always use a needle to prick the stem under the bloom.
Someone else said that too, I will let you know if it works x
I put 5 copper coins in my tulip vase Maria , it helps to keep them upright . 🌷🌷 xx
Great tip!
Tulips, try pricking the necks with a pin under the flower head, need Oxygen.

Hi Maria, loved the black trousers and top and the ivory skirt as well. Your nails are looking lovely.❤️❤️
Thanks Maureen x
Love the last outfit but too warm in Arizona already for it. It looks great on you!
Oh thank you! X
You look great in the black & white linen shift dress & fab in the striped jumper & black trousers.
Thank you x
Hi Maria, put a needle through the stalk, just under the flower and they will stand up again!
Thank you x
I like the black and white dress best. Also black trousers will be useful.
Thanks Alisonx
Put a 2p coin in your tulip water and use a pin to pierce through the stem just under the flower
Thank you for the tip, x
Hi Marie, I loved both dresses, especially the 2nd one. Also the jumper and black trousers beautiful on. Your planters are coming on beautifully, they look so nice x
Thanks Mary, take care x
Think all the clothes were lovely. Like the top that you matched with skirt. Yes pennies in with tulips. Thanks for sharing xx😘
Thanks so much 😊
Add a small amount of sugar to the water, this will have tulips standing up in no time.
Thanks for the tip x

Morning Joan,
I hope your well. The weather has been miserable here, so much rain.
Thanks for your lovely comment as always xxx
About your tulips.get a pin or sewing needle and poke a hole all the way through the stem.about an inch or two from the top.
Thanks for the tip x

Tulips-put a pin hole at various points down each stem- your tulips will stand up straight! It works even time for me! 😘🥰🤗

Second dress looked really nice on you Maria, but I didn't like the first dress at all. Black trousers and the jumper are great. Thanks for sharing and the tulips maybe needed a taller vase to help keep them upright. Xx

It's a shame that first dress is see through. Wearing two layers is not ideal for summer.

Honesty is always preferable but maybe a little kinder
What a horrible thing to say those clothes were lovely ❤
That is my option why candy coat it
It's a fashion show so surely you can just say you don't like them ❤
