Make. Your own ice tea … cheap and delicious. I always let a big cup cool down, put it in the fridge, and mix a third tea, a third favourite juice, a third water, with a spritz of lemon, ready, sweet, but not too sweet, cool, but not ice cold and so refreshing in the pamper time during hot days.
Sleep from beginning of June till the end of August 😂😂😂just kidding xx
Putting on some sun protection every morning when getting dressed helps me a lot taking care of my sensitive skin. I tend to forget when I'm in a rush 😉
My summer self care tip is to find time to apply fake tan to my legs regularly. It makes my legs look slimmer, hides imperfections and gives me confidence when I wear dresses or shorts. For housework I think if the dishes and the washing are kept up to date you feel organised.😊
I love the a.m. brain dump idea. I set the alarm for 5:45 a.m. and get out for a nice walk. After walking I do any errands early before it gets too hot and humid. I also do any watering outside in the morning. Have a good summer everyone.🙂
Thanks, Diane - all good tips! Enjoy your day!
@@DianeinDenmarkAnother great video. I've been away from UA-cam for awhile (social media fast). Just popping in to say Happy Birthday Lady Diane!!! Enjoy!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I just returned from a weekend at my bestie's house. I was thrilled that she asked me to help with her gardening, and together we accomplished quite a bit. 🦋
So nice of you, Peggy, to help your Bestie!
I'm not very good at self care but I have made the effort to make my feet summer ready by soaking, moisturising and painting my toenails with a new shade of polish. Gives me a boost every time I take my socks off! 😂
This summer I am using the "3 Most Important Things to Do" daily list, and #3 will always be a self-care idea!
Yay, go you, Sharon!
That peony is sublime. What a sweet memory of your mother-in-law.
Thanks, Gwen!
My tip is to have something small to look forward to every day. I don’t work in the summer and it could be easy to be lazy and just sit around all day or spend long lengths of time getting my home in order which leads to burnout. I love the FlyLady schedule of doing 1-2 tasks a day. My self-care is a 3 mile walk every morning with my husband before he leaves for work. I also enjoy working in my garden and taking care of my plants, reading every day and spending time with my besties kayaking and hiking. I ❤ summertime!
Make quarts of tea in Mason jars (1 bag, cold brew over night). If you have a big family, do a gallon jar (about 7 tea bags). It is hot here in Texas, I make 3 quarts of tea every evening, different flavors, and that is enough to get me through the triple digit days, along with some water. FlyLady as taught by Diane in Denmark has improved my life on so many levels - no guilt, just keep moving forward. Thanks so much!
Diane, thank you again. It’s been a really rough week in our family. But every day I put you in my ear as part of my morning routine and you remind me of my touch Stone routines to keep me sane and you cheer me on and I’m reminded that I can do this. Thank you, a million times.
Great video and full of sound advice as always. I cannot thank you enough for the difference you have made in my home and life.
You are so welcome, Janet!
I find self care really difficult but am trying to set a timer and do 15 mins of embroidery. 😊
I LOVE making pasta salads in the hot weather. Can be made ahead, can have protein, can be used to use up all the random tidbits of veggies in the fridge
Great idea!
Back to add my tip. Even if I’m too busy to do a proper declutter, I make a point on the night I take trash to curb for pickup in the morning to look around for easy-to-grab boxes, papers, magazines or other obvious trash/recycling to get it out of here! I also make a sweep of refrigerator for food that needs to go. Sometimes it spurs me to dig into a cabinet or drawer to do a small declutter.
My summer survival: make frozen or hydrating treats ready so during the heat of the day or when you've worked up a sweat, you have a reminder to slow down and listen to your body. Really important for small kids and adults as we age.
Your outfit is so fun, especially the necklace!
Thanks for the motivation during my coffee.
Thanks, Ellen! Made my necklace from a decluttered earring 😁
Lovely pink colour and a tiny bouquet: that’s pampering yourself! It’s sweating hot 🥵and I don’t like to do my routines… but I do the essential things: watering the garden and the plants, caring for the neighbors cats and making delicious salads. I pretend I’m on holidays… but TOMORROW I’ll be back and clean and shine. Love, Monika❣
You got this, Monika!
I came up with PUYS which stands for pick up your stuff. I set a timer each night for 15 minutes for my evening routine. I started doing this after watching your videos and reading the Fly Lady about 5 years ago. I have recently been undoing some really good established habits. I am trying to pick myself back up before I go to that dark place as you always say. Thank you for all your inspiration.
You are so very welcome!
All great tips Diane, always a good reminder that routines really do work, it's making a difference in many areas of my life. One of my survival tips for Summer & Winter is I check out the weather forecast for the week ahead as I do my menu planning. If we're expecting hot and humid weather I'll prep some meals so not to use the oven or maybe plan a crockpot type of meal, freezer meals or take out. The opposite for Winter, if it's cold I may prep meals using the oven, helps with warming the house and comfort meals. Helps me plan around doing laundry (not to use the dryer) and any type of cleaning as hot and humid can be truly unbearable!☀😰🥵☀
Yay, love when we can save energy and heat! 😍
Watched this as I wrote out my a summer routine for my family. Nothing to live and die by, but just an at a glance guide to where we should be in the day. Summer break at home can feel like one day is blending into the next, and this just helps me and the kiddos feel on the same page all summer.
Brilliant, well done! Having a framework really makes a difference! 👏🤩
I just have myself and these tips are really helpful. If i don't take the time to do some planning, the time can get wasted. The summers go by so fast and there are so many things I want to do. So, the brain dump is a great idea.
Glad it was helpful!
Perfect timing - needed reminding of routines and Getting It Done system. Thanks as always Diane (you look fab!)
You are so welcome!
I found all these tips helpful - especially routines with kids. We are in the process of living with relatives and a small hotel stay while relocating. I’m finding we get along better when I’m not doing everything for my children. Then they feel needed and I have more patience.
It’s always good to have a reminder especially about PUPA as it’s so easy to just plonk things down and then go and do something else. As my friend used to say we make our own mess!!!! Xx
I love the Hosta leaf bouquet! 😍I'll have to remember to cut some to add to my bouquets.
I love your kitchen radio! It’s a flash right out of my childhood!
Thanks, Holly - it's a modern radio with a vintage look! Ha ha!
Great suggestions, Diane! And thanks for the nod to those of us in the southern hemisphere, too!
You are so welcome, Jode! 👋🤩
Thank you Diane! I’ve just returned from my summer home (quiet, small, seaside) to our home where the septic has just been replaced and my husband has gutted the upstairs bathroom. Happy for big progress but overwhelmed, your video reminded me to slow down and breathe. 😊
Such great advice for children give them a specific task. This will clears up the confusion for them. My niece has 2 boys who have ADHD 17 & 11. I remember when they were a few years younger. She would say go put the thing in the yard away. The older one would jump right to it. The younger one would lag behind. I think he needed more specific instructions. Pick up the toy in the yard and put the back in the shed.. So your advice on being specific about the task is great advice. Cheers to you and Happy early Birthday. 🎉
Many thanks, Cheryl!
Love your fresh motivation - keeps me going!!🌸
When you have guests visiting I like to prepare ahead. Brain-dumping their favorite foods and activities and coordinating any Dr appointments etc you may have during the course of their stay.
Routines definitely help me to stay on track. Even if I have a busy day and can’t get my zone clean for the day I still feel like I accomplished something when I get my routines done.💐🌞
Love that, Christa! Routines keep as moving forward! 👏🤩
Golden. Love you so much! Thank you for doing this xx
☀️ you’re the best!
Great advice as always! 💓💓💓
❤Love you! Have a great day!
Happy birthday Diane ! 🥂🎂
Such solid advice for this summer!
Il fait beau et chaud en ce moment et on veut enfin profiter de l'extérieur ... Même à la retraite, je fractionne tout ce que je peux : mon blessing par étage ( aspirer, laver,épousseter) et je survole également la zone en cours ( tout reste globalement rangé) ... Je plie mon linge au fur et à mesure et fais une séance de repassage pendant que mon repas cuit.Les après midi , c'est transat et lecture 😊
Transat et lecture = moment de bonheur! 👏😍
Love this post!! More of these please :)
Happy Birthday Diane🎉
thanks for the brain dump reminder! i really have to start doing that!
Glad Midsommar!🌻
Tack, det samma! 👋🤩🇩🇰🇸🇪🌸
Love you Diane! ❤
😍
Thank you for keeping us on track with fabulous tips and reminders! 🎉 I'm doing my WHB today as a good reset after illness (it's cold in Cape Town!!). So excited to hear your birthday 🎂 plans. Much love ❤
❤❤❤
❤
I love lists and routines ❤
Routines are the best! 👋🤩
Thank you so much for this video Diane! I needed some summer survival tips! Summer is always busier than the school year. My June is also quite like the holidays
Great advice. Did a PUPA when you said the phrase, great idea to do this spaced out thru the day. Even prepared my coffee pot for the next day - which I learned from you - my mornings greatly improved. Thanks!
Love your ideas.❤
Thank you! 😊
Love all the tips! So helpful 😍
Glad it was helpful, Loretta!
Always love your videos ❤
Thank you so much!!
Just what I needed! Thank you! ❤
You're so welcome, Carissa!
Sending hugs and love xx
Thanks, Tracy! 💖
I love your videos and your energy ❤
I’m off the summer and I can’t wait to see what I can accomplish by the end.
Great tips Diane, thank you. ❤️
You are so welcome, Michelle!
I love your tip for planning convenient meals. I rarely buy them at the store, but I need to in this season when my focus is more outside than inside.
You are so welcome!
Another great video, Diane! Love the bright pink.
Thanks so much!
Great tips!
Glad it was helpful and always good to see you here! 👋🤩
Great tips Diane!!
Glad it was helpful, Catherine!
Wonderful advice, as usual. 😊
Thank you, Colleen! 😃
❤ those flowers.
Nice video.
Thank you! 👋😃🌸
Happy Birthday! Hydrangeas are my mom and I favorite flowers! Thanks for all the wonderful self-care ideas! I also like some ideas by Kennedy from the channel Cozy K like her 12 cozy hobbies to try and 9 cozy hobbies to try. Routines are great for exercise. I need the motivation do more walking workouts. I like outdoor walking and UA-cam walking workouts like from Grow with Jo and Up To the Beat Fit. Also, Get Fit with Rick and Moore2Health both have posted their channels a Tina Turner Tribute walk and Motown walk which is wonderful and fun!
Great tips ❤
Glad you like them, Marla!
Beautiful flowers 🌸
Thank you! 🌸👋😃
Happy birthday Diane!
😁💖
I hope you enjoy your birthday Diane! Can't wait to hear about all the fun. 🎉
Thank you! 🤗
Thanks, Diane! These are such great tips. I am getting ready to do a brain dump and I think that will help me out a lot. I love the small bouquet, especially with the hosta leaves. I have never thought of using them. My mother had lots of hosta plants at her home and I always think of her when I see them. ❤ Have a beautiful birthday, Diane!!
You are so welcome, Sharon! Enjoy the hosta leaves 🍃
I really appreciate you and your videos thank you thank you
🙏😊
I always enjoy inside flowers and peonies are a favorite of mine 💕
Fresh flowers make for summer success 😉
I totally agree! 🌸🌸🌸
Good afternoon Diane and fellow you-tubers!!! Great video as always!!! I have been watching lately a great T.V. series Danish and Swedish I think, it's "Advokaten" i.e. "The Lawyer" are you familiar with it Diane?? Have a nice day everyone!!!
Prety in Pink! LOVE the view into your garden...always good tips..my gosh those flowers are stunning! Happy Birthday ( early) mcuh love from AZ😎

PUPA or if you get something out, put it back. Thats my advice always.
It's such a good one...so simple but gives great results!
🌸🍓Awesome video Diane, wrote my brain dump for our busy weekend ahead while watching. Happy summer everyone ☀️🦋
Yay! And see you tomorrow 👋🤩🍒🏊♀️👒
Hello Diane, i usually don't manage to go through my normal routine when it's so hot, your tips help me to "let fives be straight", as they say in Germany, so: Thank you very much! Greetings from cologne
You are so very welcome, Andy in Cologne!
I love all your tips! Happy birthday, Diane! My husband’s birthday is Wednesday and one of my granddaughters birthday is Friday!! 🎉🎉
Happy birthday to your family! 🎂🎂🎂
Have a wonderful birthday 🎉❤
Thank you!
Happy upcoming birthday! Remember-Every year above ground is a good thing!
So true! 😄
Diane what would we do without you, brilliant ideas as always ❤
❤❤❤😊
😍

👍😍🌸
Diane, where did you get your beautiful candle holder? I think I asked you before, but I have forgotten...
Going back to Denmark again this year!!!🥰
Hi Danielle! Hi Susie! My white grooved candlesticks (and also some of my vases) are from the Hammerhøi series, brand is Kähler (Danish classic design) 👋😃
😘
❤🎉
📝💜
👋🤩
I have a hard time in the summer because I feel like my plans get taken over by supporting everyone else’s plans. How do you carve out that time to make sure your things are getting done-calendar everything??
Stick to your plans and make sure to give advance notice, that way family/friends know what to expect 👋😀
“… doing regular pupas” 😂😂😂
I hope you are doing them too, Angela! 😁 Keeps things flowing!
@@DianeinDenmark Ahh… I’m not quite as regular as you, I fear
Pray.
👋🤩
😃
🌸👏😃

😊🎉💕
Happy birthday Diane! Great tips for summer. Especially for those of us who work in the schools and have much more free time. I’m getting married this summer and coming to Copenhagen in august so that’ll be a big chunk of the summer :)
Have a brilliant time in our wonderful city, Gabrielle!
🙂👍
