Happy Friday - is the sun shining for you today? I hope so! Doing something a bit different with our self-care missions this week - I'm looking forward to hearing what you will choose!! 😍🎉🎉🎉 The two videos I mention in the Q & A: My Flylady Story ua-cam.com/video/WniXToVSo64/v-deo.html and my recipe for Overnight Rolls ua-cam.com/video/8P7M3dXfOUI/v-deo.html
1. My son and I are having an early birthday lunch with a friend because my birthday is next week. 2. I have a hair trim scheduled. 3. I recently bought several petunias for my outside hanging baskets. 4. My husband and adult children will go to a favorite locally owned Italian restaurant for my free birthday 🎂 dinner. Lisa Anne Dupree 🙂🌻🦋🎂🍰🧁
Love your missions! I’ll try 3 and 4. Haven’t been 'in town' or at IKEA for ages, because 'there is always something'. It’s just easier to sit on the couch, complaining that there’s not enough time for something nice… forgetting, that doing something nice for ourselves is refreshing and uplifting.
My self care missions this week is to 1) buy a sticker-by-number book for me to do at night to help calm my racing ADHD brain and 2) to put everything I need to in our new car. I have a whole bunch of stuff that’s been sitting in a pile to go out for 2 months now and it’s t8me to actually put it in the car.
Late on commenting... I felt off the cleaning wagon a couple of weeks ago. Woke up feeling so overwelmed. But then I remembered that there is a person on UA-cam who has managed to lift me up in the past. So I am binge-listening to your channel while getting my home under control again. Thanks so much ❤
The ten minute plan is a life changer! I’ve especially learned to enjoyed making a habit of interspersing the day with ten minute periods of self care - time to listen to birds, read, sip a cup of coffee, or just whatever presents itself. It sends me back to my tasks feeling happy any refreshed.
My kids are on summer break and I’ve been planning reading dates for us when we want to get out of the house. We each bring a library book and go to a local coffee shop. They get hot cocoas and I get coffee and we each sit and read while we enjoy our drinks. It has been the best! Woohoo for hygge!
Hi Diane, I'm not a regular commenter but i do watch your videos to get me trough boring tasks and i rewatch them a lot. Your my favourite person on UA-cam for keeping me company while being in action and for motivation🎉. Your energie is so sparkling. Even when you say you're having a hard time i still feel a sort of power radiating from you. ❤thanks for being here for us all ❤🎉🎉
happy fri-yay! self-care mission: going off-list today as i need to reorient myself from the inside---focusing on kind-self talk and doing one thing at a time.
Just over a year ago we lost our home of 24 years to a fire. Stayed with relatives while sorting out insurance and deciding what to do. In October moved into a new house which I absolutely love. House was clean when we moved in. I Immediately started with Daily Routines and Weekly Upkeep. Taking care of my new home brings me such great joy. I've had several groups of people come to see the new place and I never stress because Routines make every looking good.
Lovely video chat Diane. I think you might be the only person in the world that can make health self-care so bubbly fun that I follow through with it!! I’m going to check to see if you have any financial/budget videos to watch. 😂
Thank you for another wonderful motivational video. My self-care this week is: 1. spend time with my friend. 2. sleep at least 8 hours tonight. 3. do yoga every other day 4. put my phone down in the evening at lease three hours before bedtime. Diane, you are truly a wonderful person. I look up to you. Every time I feel no motivation at all I watch your videos and it gets me started. I can't thank you enough.
🎉🎉🎉 Diane, you are a ray of Sunshine! 🌞🌞🌞. I am always watching - and then re-watching your videos... And, I've made a promise to myself to get better at leaving a comment each time! 🎉🎉🎉
Yay!!! Got to watch this along with my morning coffee ☕️ your lessons have made me a better friend, mom and wife, more chill (DH loves this change😂), and most importantly- I don’t think tasks will take forever anymore and I have more time for fun. You have been a life saver 🛟 and I really love hearing how you have helped improve so many lives of others. Go you 🥰💕
Hello Diane 👋 We’ve just come back from having coffee at the garden centre and I treated myself to some beautiful flowers for the garden. Really lifted my spirits. Gardening chores always seem a monumental task, on top of all the house work, but I’ve decided to do 10 minutes a day. I know that will make a big difference in a couple of weeks 🌸🪻🌹🌷😍 Bye for now 😊
Hi Diane. Always lovely to see another video of you again. Especially now my husband is in hospital. It keeps me motivated in a busy time of driving up and down the hospital. I wish you a very nice weekend. 😘
Hi Diane. I love in South Florida, USA. I joined your Facebook group following. I'm very happy that I joined your email subscription also today. I enjoy your enthusiasm and honesty. I am young 😆 64 years old and you are a breath of fresh air! I need to improve my decluttering! My goal is to have a neat, clean home in a way that is not too time consuming. Thank you for the videos. I watch them on a daily basis! You are a breath of fresh air. I believe that within a few months I will have everything under control. And more other minimal lifestyle. Sending you warm appreciation & some Florida Sunshine! 🤗
Love the idea of tying the self care in with the fly lady daily tasks. I watch someone else who is doing a challenge to help someone or do something nice for someone every day in May. I may try to tie that to the daily tasks too! Have a great weekend!!
Cannot miss Friday with Diane! I’ll be commuting to making that self care doctor appt I have been putting off for weeks. On the fun side, I will see my knitting buddies.
I'm working hard on a gift for my mother for Mother's Day. I'm also spending a lot of time on the porch in the mornings. I've moved my polar plunge there!
Thank you Diane! If I have the blahs you encourage me and give me energy and a right good will. If I’m feeling fabulous you turn up the heat on it! You are the best virtual friend a person can have!
I have arranged to meet a friend next week and booked a haircut. I have just finished reading The Thursday Murder Club. I saw that Richard Osman has announced three of the actors that are going to be in the film and I was surprised that Pierce Brosnan is going to be Ron! He is completely different to how I imagined Ron to be when I read the book 🤣
Diane your my favorite "friend" on the whole internet. I look forward to our weekly chat so much. I found flylady in 2007 but it took me nearly 15 years to actually just accept the routines really was important. Having some physical limits and health issues I just kept wanting to do it all one day a week. But in 2021. I did the 31 baby steps with you after moving into a new house and doing a massive downsizing. I'm proud to say it's still working. I'm still learning. Some weeks are bad with my health but it’s now to the point I can have my house company ready in an hour. I never imagined how easy it would become. Thank you for flying with me!
My IKEA is about 4 hours drive, down near Detroit, I am in north east in Michigan. On Lake Huron. I do love IKEA. I just do not go often. Then I start with a list and it is a few hours long trip. I find it is needed to choose carefully. And not spend tons of money. And remeber it all has to fit in the car. Love and prayers, have a happy day! Week and more!
Hi Diane -- Thanks for all you do. I have been watching your channel for a few years now. I have finally figured out how to write comments when watching UA-cam on my television. Hope to remember to give you positive feedback more often.
I love IKEA - when I lived in Canada I was around the corner from IKEA, and here in France it's over an hour away... it's been 9 years since I've been in one! I did buy something for me today - a packet of Haribo - not healthy, but a nice treat! 99% of the time I eat a strict diet. Have a lovely weekend! Both VE Day and Ascension are holidays here in France!
My husband and I are going out tonight to have dinner with friends which ticks a couple of self-care boxes. I have enjoyed the self-care challenges and have even put some on my calendar (getting my hair cut, buying some plants, going for lunch with a friend). As you said, if you don’t schedule it, it won’t happy. Thanks for looking out for us, your viewers.
Really love the self care suggestions this week and how they link to flylady! I have some ideas but will give this some thought today. I’m in England, am Catholic, so I do celebrate Ascension. I’ll be going to a special Mass and a torchlight procession at the local Abbey during the night. Very special. Thank you Diane and enjoy your weekend!
We are making plans to go to a concert in a few weeks with friends of ours and today I had a wonderful massage and scheduled another one for next month 😊
Hi Diane! I'm doing selfcare 4.. Date night with hubby. We're having beautiful but very warm days 80s so we are having date night out side on the deck. We have a pair of small birds making a nest in one of our birdhouses.. we like to watch them flitter about! See you Monday!
Self care missions 1 and 3 . Love these Videos. I used to live a 20min drive away from an Ikea but now live 6 hrs away!!! I always visit when going up to Perth.🎉🎉
I'm going to get together with family this weekend as my self-care . I also will declutter. I have so much to do, but I'll keep it to ten minutes at a time.
Thank you Diane for adding sunshine and a spark of energy to my day. I'm scheduling a much needed hair cut for my self-care. Love your idea of making a special cocktail (mocktail in our case) for hubby and I on date night! Have a wonderful weekend.
Ha ha, it's so hard to imagine you so dis- organised . I'm sooooh grateful for the Flylady system and for discovering you through the Flylady videos. You're the only one I watch now as you make things so easy , relaxed and simple to follow the routines and zones. So a BIG THANK YOU to you. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for all of your book recommendations! I love cozy mysteries as well and have enjoyed reading some of the ones you have recommended. Thank you!
Hi Diane🙋🇳🇱 following your simplify and thrive suggestions has been such a benefit for me🙏 and the house 🏠 It's such an encouragement to think I can always do 10 minutes 💪 It literally gives more space. I am in for all selfcare missions next week.
Enjoy a wonderful choir concert yesterday suggested by a friend....my turn to plan something nice to do with a friend...some people wait for some one else to organize and then wonder why nothing fun happens.....
Love the outlook the Danes have for the body. Wish we were all there. Thanks for all you do and your encouragement. I always watch your videos. I'm a new young widow and now solo parenting and need all the support I can get.
Happy Friday, Diane!❤❤❤ I enjoy all of your videos. Recently, my fatigue has been worse, so I keep telling myself all the things you tell us: “good enough is good enough” is one of my favourites. I just did my evening routine with one of your earlier videos, when you talked about TOTH. Once again, you’ve saved my bacon! Thanks for being such a wonderful mentor! Have a wonderful weekend!❤❤❤
Gloating over my very tidy current garage Took me all winter. Still ugly but very clean! Beautiful day at last, so a yard day after my morning gym. I am current working with a PT on balance, gait, and strength to maintain independence.
Bought myself a gorgeous climbing orange rose “Tangerine Skies”, also some fall bearing raspberry plants. Just vacuumed my front hall! The trip to the nursery was magical?a
Hi, Diane! I am 56 years old and retired. When I worked, I was incredibly organized on the job, so what you said about yourself resonated with me. However, in my home life, I am still working on being so organized. With your help, I am getting better at it! Thank you for all you do!!
Thanks again for an inspiring, wonderful video. I am choosing self-care missions 3 and 4 this week. I bought a beautiful pot of flowers for my patio and enjoy them everything I glance out the window. I'm also going to clean out my car. Have a great weekend. ❤
Hi Diane, i love your selfcare tips. I forget myself most off the time. It is always hubby, son, friend, but seldom me. So i put it in my agenda to do something nice for just me. THANK YOU.
The second mystery by Anastasia Hastings was just as fun as the first IMO. I read them on your recommendation and say thank you!! 📚 I like doing all of the self-care missions when I can, but will esp try for #2 and #4. Thanks again for your continuing videography. It's such encouragement 💙
I'm a long way from home, staying in my brothers house and it's day 16 of consecutive hospital visiting in the next town, finding somewhere to park etc etc. All very stressful. So your Friday video was just what I needed to be reminded to look after myself. Thank you Diane! And don't forget to look out for Joya shoes. You feel like you have super bounce and feet that are wrapped in the most supportive memory foam pillows., bliss x
Hopefully the weather will be good enough to sit on my balcony for morning coffee and some reading ❤ Thanks Diane for inspiration and blessings to you and those you love ❤
Thanks Diane. I had a new style hair cut yesterday as a bit of a pamper. It's been rather cool and gloomy here in Perth, Australia so today I did a couple of inside 10 minute jobs. Have nearly finished the paper shredding and another 10 minutes decluttering some emails. Tomorrow I'm having morning coffee with my brother and sister-in-law. Have a wonderful weekend.
It is a delight watching your videos, which I do on a weekly basis, and yet I always get new ideas that inspire and motivate me for the coming days. Our youngest daughter got married yesterday! (amazing day) so the idea of self-care is definitely on top of my list for this weekend. Thanks again for all the inspiration❤🎉
When I lived in my hometown of London there was an ikea on my doorstep but now I live on the east coast there’s not one for miles. I used to love a mooch about there and then Swedish meatballs for lunch! Love the hydrangea. Yesterday I bought myself a bunch of pink roses, today I’ve arranged some outings with my best friends. It’s a Bank holiday weekend here so going to visit my daughter tomorrow. Happy weekend everyone and thank you dear Diane 😀
Happy Friday! I made your bread rolls last weekend, yum!! So excited that the next Miss Hermione mystery is available. I loved the first book! Have a wonderful weekend! 💖
hi Diane your full motivation I had the same story as you when the kids were small worked all day but my house was always messy and I looked on internet and found fly lady but I bought the book and still didn't understand it but then you came on you tube and I can't thank u enough and I'm still getting their your ideas of probation and getting rid of unwanted stuff you don't love is help me a lot have a lovely weekend
Love all the self care missions for this week. I’ll try and get to all of them. Denise is already booked 😬. Some pansy seedlings to brighten up our front patio in winter. Exercise class with coffee afterwards maybe a nice wine with hubby on Friday night. Thank you for the motivation. Cheers Wendy 🇦🇺
Hi Diane! Happy Friday! You are such a self-care inspiration for me, especially when it comes to getting out and doing some physical activity for the day and for planning things to do with friends! It's too easy for me to get stuck in the to-dos and to forget to embrace the joys. I am very grateful for your videos! 😍 Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Diane! I too love IKEA but am a couple hours away so don’t go as often as I would like! Really enjoy their newish plant based meat balls when I do go - thank you for all your great ideas to help us stay on track with our homes and especially for all the book suggestions - you’re the best!!
Hi Diane really enjoyed your cozy chat I am just going to say it I miss Wednesday's to but I understand that you are a very busy lady and I appreciate you being there for us all on Monday Friday whenever you a truly amazing person you bring so much of yourself to us thankyou so much and I'm glad to see you looking better I'm almost finished reading my Inspector Ian Rutledge books by Charles Todd so will be looking at some of your recommendations have a great weekend ❤
So enjoy the questions on Friday. Many of them I have wondered about myself. Love the suggetion of linking self care to the days of week I will call a friend an invite her to meet for coffee. Also, buy myself a lovely outdoor flower basket to enjoy. Thanks for the suggestions, Diane.
I finished my whb today and zone work. I spent time with a friend and now making myself a pink gin and lemonade after watching the last of the BBC production of the film Les miserables ❤ Thank you Diane Xx Margaret in Cyprus 🎉
Diane, i was hoping your video would be on early today as i was just feeling a little down today. It’s been raining a lot and rather dreary. And there you were all smiles and bubbly. Not only did my mood lift but the sun peaked out ftom behind the clouds. This week was grocery week and I bought some herbs for the garden while there. Getting ready to plant them this weekend. Also while shopping i bought the graduation card I needed for a family member. My daughter, who lives far from me, let me know she is off today so we planned a call date. Our calls are usually long so we like to plan them if possible. Also am making several appointments that I have been putting off. Thanks for another up lifting video. LLAP🖖
My self-care this week is a dual birthday celebration. My friend and I have birthdays 6 days apart so we have plans to see a play on Saturday. Then I'm sure we'll also have some drinks and dinner to celebrate as well. Thank you for all of your advice, ideas, and joyful outlook.
As a fellow fan of cozy mysteries, I love your weekly book suggestions. I have a running list of the ones you have highlighted and am making my way through them. Thanks for the great recommendations!
Happy Friday - is the sun shining for you today? I hope so! Doing something a bit different with our self-care missions this week - I'm looking forward to hearing what you will choose!! 😍🎉🎉🎉 The two videos I mention in the Q & A: My Flylady Story ua-cam.com/video/WniXToVSo64/v-deo.html and my recipe for Overnight Rolls ua-cam.com/video/8P7M3dXfOUI/v-deo.html
I love the end of week q & a.
Great tip on the eyebrows. LOL, we were just at IKEA, too. We found a few things for the kids unexpectedly.
1. My son and I are having an early birthday lunch with a friend because my birthday is next week.
2. I have a hair trim scheduled.
3. I recently bought several petunias for my outside hanging baskets.
4. My husband and adult children will go to a favorite locally owned Italian restaurant for my free birthday 🎂 dinner.

Love your missions! I’ll try 3 and 4. Haven’t been 'in town' or at IKEA for ages, because 'there is always something'. It’s just easier to sit on the couch, complaining that there’s not enough time for something nice… forgetting, that doing something nice for ourselves is refreshing and uplifting.
My self care missions this week is to 1) buy a sticker-by-number book for me to do at night to help calm my racing ADHD brain and 2) to put everything I need to in our new car. I have a whole bunch of stuff that’s been sitting in a pile to go out for 2 months now and it’s t8me to actually put it in the car.
Diane you’ll be pleased to hear I finally got the ironing done 👍 😂
Your videos remind me not to worry if I get distracted. Just come back and move forward again. Thank you.

I agree. Diane is a treasure.
Well said ❤
happy fri-yay! self-care mission: going off-list today as i need to reorient myself from the inside---focusing on kind-self talk and doing one thing at a time.
Just over a year ago we lost our home of 24 years to a fire. Stayed with relatives while sorting out insurance and deciding what to do.
In October moved into a new house which I absolutely love. House was clean when we moved in. I Immediately started with Daily Routines and Weekly Upkeep. Taking care of my new home brings me such great joy. I've had several groups of people come to see the new place and I never stress because Routines make every looking good.
You’re a ray of sunshine!! Thank you!!
My self-care today was just taking a shower and making myself a cup of tea 🙃 but hey, at least I feel better
Diane, you've inspired me to try at home eyebrow coloring kit! 😂😂Wish me luck y'all !
I didn't even know those kits existed. I really appreciate Diane introducing them to us.
Lovely video chat Diane. I think you might be the only person in the world that can make health self-care so bubbly fun that I follow through with it!! I’m going to check to see if you have any financial/budget videos to watch. 😂
Thank you for another wonderful motivational video.

I am doing the same. It is making me look for ways to help people in my immediate area. Loving the challenge.
Cannot miss Friday with Diane! I’ll be commuting to making that self care doctor appt I have been putting off for weeks. On the fun side, I will see my knitting buddies.

I make your rolls regularly. They are delicious, a favorite recipe together with the Christmas cake, also delicious.
I wish I was at your clothes swap I’m type 1 and love the citrus colours.😊
My IKEA is about 4 hours drive, down near Detroit, I am in north east in Michigan. On Lake Huron. I do love IKEA. I just do not go often. Then I start with a list and it is a few hours long trip. I find it is needed to choose carefully. And not spend tons of money. And remeber it all has to fit in the car. Love and prayers, have a happy day! Week and more!
Love the book recommendations. Thank you❤
My daughter comes home from college this week, so I am going to plan some family fun!🎉🎉🎉
Hi Diane -- Thanks for all you do. I have been watching your channel for a few years now. I have finally figured out how to write comments when watching UA-cam on my television. Hope to remember to give you positive feedback more often.

Thank you for keeping up with your videos this year! You’re so motivating and it helps keep me on track in my house. Going to clean out the car now!
My husband and I are going out tonight to have dinner with friends which ticks a couple of self-care boxes.

That sounds very special indeed, Sarah!
Love tying selfcare to the daily tasks!
We are making plans to go to a concert in a few weeks with friends of ours and today I had a wonderful massage and scheduled another one for next month 😊
Good morning Diane, lovely to see you again. Just sorting a living room draw out. 🎉🎉🎉
What a great idea to inplant a selfcare thing into the daily focus. Thank you!
Saturday morning for me when your planning video comes out. I always look forward to it.

I'm so sorry for your loss ❤💕🙏
@@emmelia-6068 thank you
Happy Friday, Diane!❤❤❤ I enjoy all of your videos. Recently, my fatigue has been worse, so I keep telling myself all the things you tell us: “good enough is good enough” is one of my favourites. I just did my evening routine with one of your earlier videos, when you talked about TOTH. Once again, you’ve saved my bacon! Thanks for being such a wonderful mentor! Have a wonderful weekend!❤❤❤
Gloating over my very tidy current garage Took me all winter. Still ugly but very clean! Beautiful day at last, so a yard day after my morning gym. I am current working with a PT on balance, gait, and strength to maintain independence.
Bought myself a gorgeous climbing orange rose “Tangerine Skies”, also some fall bearing raspberry plants. Just vacuumed my front hall! The trip to the nursery was magical?a
Hi, Diane! I am 56 years old and retired. When I worked, I was incredibly organized on the job, so what you said about yourself resonated with me. However, in my home life, I am still working on being so organized. With your help, I am getting better at it! Thank you for all you do!!
Thanks again for an inspiring, wonderful video. I am choosing self-care missions 3 and 4 this week. I bought a beautiful pot of flowers for my patio and enjoy them everything I glance out the window. I'm also going to clean out my car. Have a great weekend. ❤
Hi Diane, i love your selfcare tips. I forget myself most off the time. It is always hubby, son, friend, but seldom me. So i put it in my agenda to do something nice for just me. THANK YOU.
As per usual, an uplifting video Diane. Thank you.
The second mystery by Anastasia Hastings was just as fun as the first IMO. I read them on your recommendation and say thank you!! 📚 I like doing all of the self-care missions when I can, but will esp try for #2 and #4. Thanks again for your continuing videography. It's such encouragement 💙
Self care … lunch with a friend next week 🎉❤❤
I'm a long way from home, staying in my brothers house and it's day 16 of consecutive hospital visiting in the next town, finding somewhere to park etc etc. All very stressful. So your Friday video was just what I needed to be reminded to look after myself. Thank you Diane! And don't forget to look out for Joya shoes. You feel like you have super bounce and feet that are wrapped in the most supportive memory foam pillows., bliss x
Hopefully the weather will be good enough to sit on my balcony for morning coffee and some reading ❤
Thanks Diane for inspiration and blessings to you and those you love ❤
Love your videos and enthusiasm ❤
Yay! Thank you, Mimi!
Thanks Diane. I had a new style hair cut yesterday as a bit of a pamper.
It's been rather cool and gloomy here in Perth, Australia so today I did a couple of inside 10 minute jobs. Have nearly finished the paper shredding and another 10 minutes decluttering some emails.
Tomorrow I'm having morning coffee with my brother and sister-in-law.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Great job, Mary - have a wonderful day in Australia!
It is a delight watching your videos, which I do on a weekly basis, and yet I always get new ideas that inspire and motivate me for the coming days.
Our youngest daughter got married yesterday! (amazing day) so the idea of self-care is definitely on top of my list for this weekend.
Thanks again for all the inspiration❤🎉
When I lived in my hometown of London there was an ikea on my doorstep but now I live on the east coast there’s not one for miles. I used to love a mooch about there and then Swedish meatballs for lunch!
Love the hydrangea. Yesterday I bought myself a bunch of pink roses, today I’ve arranged some outings with my best friends. It’s a Bank holiday weekend here so going to visit my daughter tomorrow. Happy weekend everyone and thank you dear Diane 😀
Thanks for an other enthousiastic video! I spend the weekend with family. This week back to trying to establish routines, including self care :)
Happy Friday! I made your bread rolls last weekend, yum!! So excited that the next Miss Hermione mystery is available. I loved the first book! Have a wonderful weekend! 💖

Love all the self care missions for this week. I’ll try and get to all of them. Denise is already booked 😬. Some pansy seedlings to brighten up our front patio in winter. Exercise class with coffee afterwards maybe a nice wine with hubby on Friday night.
Thank you for the motivation.
Cheers Wendy 🇦🇺
Hi Diane! Happy Friday! You are such a self-care inspiration for me, especially when it comes to getting out and doing some physical activity for the day and for planning things to do with friends! It's too easy for me to get stuck in the to-dos and to forget to embrace the joys. I am very grateful for your videos! 😍 Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Diane! I too love IKEA but am a couple hours away so don’t go as often as I would like! Really enjoy their newish plant based meat balls when I do go - thank you for all your great ideas to help us stay on track with our homes and especially for all the book suggestions - you’re the best!!
Hi Diane really enjoyed your cozy chat I am just going to say it I miss Wednesday's to but I understand that you are a very busy lady and I appreciate you being there for us all on Monday Friday whenever you a truly amazing person you bring so much of yourself to us thankyou so much and I'm glad to see you looking better I'm almost finished reading my Inspector Ian Rutledge books by Charles Todd so will be looking at some of your recommendations have a great weekend ❤
So enjoy the questions on Friday. Many of them I have wondered about myself.
Love the suggetion of linking self care to the days of week
I will call a friend an invite her to meet for coffee. Also, buy myself a lovely outdoor flower basket to enjoy.
Thanks for the suggestions, Diane.
Hey Diane! You are the absolute best at motivating me to do things I need to do. Have a great day!
I finished my whb today and zone work. I spent time with a friend and now making myself a pink gin and lemonade after watching the last of the BBC production of the film Les miserables ❤ Thank you Diane Xx Margaret in Cyprus 🎉
Love the spin on self care missions in the zones. Your focus on self care has me asking myself what will I do for self care each day. Go me!
Thanks, as always, for the encouragement Diane :)
Thank you for another cosy video! I'm going to plan some selfcare things and fun things to do as my selfcare mission for this week😊
Diane, i was hoping your video would be on early today as i was just feeling a little down today. It’s been raining a lot and rather dreary. And there you were all smiles and bubbly. Not only did my mood lift but the sun peaked out ftom behind the clouds. This week was grocery week and I bought some herbs for the garden while there. Getting ready to plant them this weekend. Also while shopping i bought the graduation card I needed for a family member. My daughter, who lives far from me, let me know she is off today so we planned a call date. Our calls are usually long so we like to plan them if possible. Also am making several appointments that I have been putting off. Thanks for another up lifting video.
LLAP🖖
My self-care this week is a dual birthday celebration. My friend and I have birthdays 6 days apart so we have plans to see a play on Saturday. Then I'm sure we'll also have some drinks and dinner to celebrate as well. Thank you for all of your advice, ideas, and joyful outlook.
As a fellow fan of cozy mysteries, I love your weekly book suggestions. I have a running list of the ones you have highlighted and am making my way through them. Thanks for the great recommendations!
In the US we have a product for men's mustache - I love it for my eyebrows. Mix 2 parts apply to eyebrows for 6 minutes - wipe off.
So easy
Thank you Diane for mentioning the eyebrow tint question. I'll be searching for a product. Have a great weekend!
