Happy Friday from "pouring with rain" Copenhagen! 👋🏼😍 You have a choice of four self-care options...what do you choose this week? 1, 2, 3 or 4? I'm doing 1 and 2!
I choose self-care option 1
With elderly neighbours I do #4 every week. ❤
Self care of elbows and feet.
Also, on sunny days, I will have my morning coffee outdoors. Thank you for inspiration!
Happy Friday to you as well. Just starting your video, and working on laundry.
1. I keep putting extra thick cream on my feet and putting socks on to soak it in better to soften my feet.
2. My son and I ate lunch at the dog park yesterday.
3. I have been listening to some old favorite music and singers.
4. My son and I give small bags of snacks and self care items to people without homes we see on the side of the road.

Saturday night. I actually accomplished more than I thought I would. I am in widow’s fog state of malaise. But looking back , I did fairly well at managing this past week. Thank you for your support .
I thinking I’m in widows fog too. It’s been almost 6 months since my H died, I really don’t feel like doing anything. I hope yo are feeling better soon.
My condolences, Jeanne and Delia 💜🙏💜🌷 Prayers for you both as you go through this hard time. Give yourselves plenty of space and grace ❤
One thing that has stuck from flylady for me is to keep a clean sink....well...this week I almost fell over when hubby was at the sink ...he said who is leaving things in this sink I like to see it clean! So, yes they are watching and learning.
Tornado Warnings all around me here in Oklahoma, USA. While waiting to see which way storms go, I'm cleaning my kitchen. If we get blown away at least my kitchen will be clean!
How did it go for you? I pray you and yours are safe. I saw some horrific videos and photos... 😮❤
I pray that you and many others in Oklahoma will be safe.
@@cathyb6358 storms went North of us. So all is well. Thank you.
@@emmelia-6068storms missed us. Some of the family lost power for few hours. But all safe and sound. Thank you.
I learned a saying when I was in high school: The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. That's the way I see your ten minutes. Thanks for you videos.❤
I know what you mean by keeping my family private. In our time of life, my husband is 73 and I am 68. When I do my weekly vacuuming, my husband will take the vacuum cleaner "away from me" and does all the floors! What a dream boat! Hope you begin to feel better! CB
Thank you, Diane, for giving of yourself and your time even though you are not feeling well. Each of your videos are an inspiration to me and I would miss you if you weren’t there. (Although I would totally understand!!! You have to take care of yourself first!!) I hope you enjoy your quiet weekend and I hope you are feeling much better soon. I’m praying that you feel better quickly! ❤
I'm a physiotherapist. When my patients say anything along the lines of "it's so hard to find the time to do the exercises" and they clearly want to, I recommend you.
Diane, thank you! Saturday a week ago, a family member was hospitalized and then sent to rehabilitation. Between visits to both places, running to the person’s house, and shopping for items, there was no time to clean my home. I didn’t worry because I’ve followed you for a while and knew my place was under control. Your inspirational videos made me feel confident. -M. M. ❤
I got a pedicure, bought some new self tanner and made reservations for a mother's day tea!
Diane,
You said that you are not a family channel as your family don't feature in your videos. Some of the tips and advice you give gave made a big difference to my little family. The planning of family fun in particular❤.
Hi Diane thanks so much for being there to help and support us even though your not feeling well hope your better soon sending hugs ❤
Overachiever this week, because every suggestion you have I already did this past week -- well, right now I am having a pedicure after a week long vacation in Maui, While I was there, I ate breakfast everyday outside; and now that I returned home, will pull out our porch furniture to eat outside whenever possible. I enjoy listening to the birds (sometimes eagles) and see the bugs, butterflies and blooms.
As for volunteering, while I was on vacation I volunteered at a free donation center for the victims of the Lahaina wildfires (in August 2023). I sorted, merchandised and helped anyone who came into the store looking for items. The people who have been doing this since August are amazing and were so grateful I took 2 hours of my vacation to volunteer. My heart was full.
I just bought tickets to see Harry Conick Jr. at an outdoor winery concert. I barely listen or know his music so I am hoping to enjoy something new.
🙋♀️my hubby declutters his clothes and tools. For my soul, I mowed a traveler’s lawn one less things for them to do when they get home.
Great idea! So nice of you!
I love how you celebrate your friends. Sounds like Sue is a great person to have around.❤
Diane, you made a comment which was really freeing for me in my cleaning/declutter journey. You said “I do these things for me.” And that’s exactly what it needs to be for me - focusing on the type of organized home environment I enjoy and not worrying too much if the rest of the household are “pulling their own weight” so to speak. Because really I quite enjoy cleaning when I get to it and am thankful my husband has a high tolerance when we dont. And when he is in the cleaning mood, he cleans sometimes too in his own way and style. So that is a good reminder that at the end of the day, I am really doing it for myself actually. :)
Music brings us so much joy. This past weekend I was able to travel to another state to see a bestie's grandson in Mama Mia. So much fun!🦋
Thanks for showing up even you are not really fit, I have been lying with a bad cold all week, but sticking to my minimal morning and evening routines ! It gave me hold! I will take small steps outside to get better. Get well, too!
Thank you for doing this video. In spite of not feeling well. I hope you feel better very soon. I’m surprised to hear that you are afraid of water, as much as you swim. it’s great that you are facing up to your fear by taking swim lessons.
Apparently, I missed this video last week and thought I was watching today's video. LOL! Anyway, your comments about Sue brought tears to my eyes. Happy Birthday to Sue! What a lovely group of friends you all have. ❤
My local church does a Play and Stay, each Thursday and Friday. So I volunteer to help with one session on Friday. It's a chance to meet people (most are younger than me) have a cup of coffee and talk. There is also a bit of work to put this away and out for the next session. Really enjoy it and love Fridays because I know I will meet up with a great group of women.
Absolutely, removing unimportant items is very contagious. Many family members are picking up on that and slowly doing their part! ❤
Going to bring out the patio furniture so we can have coffee in the morning in the sunshine. Thanks for the inspiration ❤
My Granny has been staying with me for a few days, so I’m catching up on some videos. Thank you for your motivation. Everything was tidy enough and my routines kept me going. I was able to focus on time spent with her. Thank you!!!
Happy birthday to Sue! Enjoy! I’m getting ready to go camping next week so I will be enjoying my breakfast outside!
Hope you feel much better soon. Appreciate you making a video for us even when you’re not feeling well ❤
I did the kitchen while listening and I'm going to the orchestra tonight..alone but I'm going!
Hi Diane! I will try to have a meal outside and to listen to some new music. I never listen to music except for Christmas carols in December, so that'll be a fun stretch. I want to thank you for always being so body positive, showing pictures of yourself and your friends in swimsuits and being honest about your ages. I just turned 48 and I haven't worn a swimsuit in many many years, and you have really inspired me to not worry about my figure and just get out there and exercise. So just having that mental shift is a form of self care for me!
Dear Diane,
My three year old and i went to the library today to pick up some new reads for the weekend. We both love it there and go every week.
Regarding the subject of 10 minutes: Especially as a working mom with lots of volunteering tasks in church, kindergarten and beyond, the 10 minute chunks are soooo valuable. Progress over perfection. I would feel absolutely defeated, if i had to do it all and spend hours and hours.
By the way: i made your over night bread-rolls again. This has become a beloved Friday night tradition. When the Little One is asleep, i clean up the kitchen, shine my sink and prepare the rolls for Saturday morning. I start the dishwasher and when i hear the water stream into the machine i know: the week-end is here :) pure self-care right there.
See you Monday and feel better soon. Love from Germany, jule
This is lovely. You are creating a wonderful memory for your child ❤
And mission #2 for me. Eating outdoors is so simple and yet so delightful - my littles love, love, love it when we take our meal or snack outside. :)
Finally decluttered the ensuite bathroom and powder room vanities!
Another 20 mins in the garage with hubby to declutter. This has become a weekly task. Hubby is now on board as he sees the gains we make in a short time on a regular basis.
I'm going to set up my deck furniture so I can start having meals and coffee outside! 🥰
Feel better soon! Thank you for spending time with us even when you are feeling down.
Hello Diane
I was already doing flylady when I discovered you a few years ago. You brought it to a whole new level for me. I lost my husband of 42 + years , to a stroke suddenly on April 15 2024. I had relatives arriving within hours of his hospitalization and because of the flylady system every thing in my house, guest room etc… was company ready. He was in hospital for 5 days before he passed and I can’t tell you how much the routine helped me. I plan to use the system to go through his items as I’m up to it and I will just be kind to myself, as I navigate my new normal. Thank you. Lynette Kipp Royal Oak Michigan USA
Sorry for your loss. Take care.
As always, I am truly grateful to end my work week with your Friday video. It’s such a treat ❤
My husband decluttered his side of the wardrobe once he saw me doing my side and the space I created! X
PS that blue cardigan suits you so well!
So this is exciting…. My son’s band are releasing their first single on Tuesday so I’ll be listening to that! The band is Purple Suns and the music is very dreamy and easy to listen to! So excited for them xxx
Hope you’re feeling better soon Diane.
I love taking my coffee outside of a morning even though it’s only around 5c if the sun is shining it’s wonderful.
Have a lovely relaxing weekend. Cheers Wendy 🇦🇺🏡
I hope you get better soon 🤞🏽
For Camilla, for years in Spain it might have been women doing everything and men would be the ones working out. For quite a few years now it's different. In our home ( I'm 58, my husband is 65 now retired and empty nesters ) my husband usually cooks and does the shopping, we both do house chores some each of us always do, others we take in turns. When my daughter lived at home she had to take care of her room, hoover the house some days a week, not leave things everywhere, put her dirty clothes in the laundry basket, put her clothes away when they were clean, she also made and cleared up her breakfast and dinner ( the big meal is at midday here) hope that answered your question 😅.
Talking about books I recommend Atomic Habits by James Clear. It reminded me of your 5 to 10 minutes timer.
Happy birthday Sue! 🎉
Well done Diana!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Have a great weekend xx
Thank you for your answer. I`m just curious. I`m exactly your age, and my husband too. We also take turns in the house work. It`s just that when I watch videos in this category (I like them) I get the impression that the women does all the work in their home. Of course I respect that their family is not in the films, but I don`t often hear for example ”We take turns fixing the zink in the evening” or things like that. That is why I wonder. I hope I didn`t hurt anyones feelings, I didn`t mean to. I`m glad to hear about you and your husband. Thank you for taking time to answer!
@@camillafjallman6404 It certainly didn't hurt mine. So don't worry. I love knowing about people's customs and ways of living also out of curiosity and knowing other cultures and ways of life. You learn a lot. Have a great weekend xx
Book suggestion - Hello from Canada! My son is a police inspector in Nelson British Columbia, and a friend suggested a book series called A Lane Winshaw Mystery by author Iona Whishaw. They follow the country life of a women (Lane Winslow) who moved to Canada post WWII who becomes involved in solving local crimes along with a Nelson police inspector. Of course I had to read them! There are 11 books in the series and I just love them all!
Happy birthday Sue! Have a great weekend Diane!
Thank you, Diane, for inspiring us even when you are not feeling well. I hope you are back “in the pink” soon. 🤗
I hope you’re feeling better! I was so pleased that I could walk past a local car boot sale, smile at the stall holders and not need to buy anything 😊
I can certainly say that it is amazing what can be done in 10 minutes .
I always do my 10 or 15 minutes then have a break. Can do my pamper time during my break.
The timing gives me permission to not continually be doing housework and get overwhelmed. ❤
I’ll plan my day to enjoy breakfast outside after my morning routine and lunch outside if I can swing it. Thank you for being you!
Mission #1: I took several hikes this weekend at Yosemite National Park! Good way to get my body excited for lots of movement this coming season.
Mission #2: I ate some meals outside because we were camping! It was a wonderful weekend to take in nature. 🤗
Thank you Diane ❤ I’m a bit behind because of work but I just wanted to say that you really have been helping me to Simplify and Thrive this year ❤❤
Saturday morning washing up at breakfast time. Giving me the motivating lift to get MR done today. I volunteer at a parent/tots/baby group on Fridays, doing the 0-5y session in the morning. Tidy up, then set up for babies (0-14mths ish) in early afternoon before the school run. It's a group i attended when my children were small, so I'm now giving back. ❤😊
Hope you feel better Diane, try and get some rest. You are such an inspiration.
I will enjoy coffee outside over the weekend. I have been listening to music that I have not heard for many years. It all comes back.
I found a yoga app with a 30 day challenge that I know I can stick too. 5 minutes a day is more than I was doing g before!🎉🎉🎉
I'm going to pamper my feet and ive got some lovely pink varnish to put on. Also i will have my breakfast in the garden ,it's beautiful weather now here in 🇬🇧 ,thanks Diane xx
from last week, combined 1 and 4 - went for a ramble on a local nature site (up for sale for housing - so wrong) to watch some animals in action (short-eared owls hunting; male adders 'dancing'; larks ascending; listen to the nightingales; and looking at/smelling the flowers. Mother's day has already gone over here. I not only use Flylady zones in the house but have divided my garden into 5 zones too which works well although I sometimes have to dodge the rain!!! This week will try to do all the challenges except #2, I loathe eating outdoors but if it stops raining long enough will definitely take my coffee out into the garden and listen to the sparrows squabbling. as always, thanks for the inspiration and the boot up the bahookie on occasions.
Happy birthday to Sue!
Have a wonderful weekend Diane 😊
Finished my afternoon routine and take a break now 😊 and who is here ... Diane ❤ Have a nice weekend
Put on an lol, emptied the dishwasher and made the beds while listening to your video. Have been inspired by you to read more. On my 7th book so far this year. I haven’t read that many books in a year since university! Thank you for your inspiration not only with cleaning & decluttering but also taking the time to do things for myself!
My job had a company wide volunteer day on Friday! It was so fun
Didn't feel well this week, so I took some downtime. Still accomplished my goals, so I am happy. Choosing self-care #1 and #4 as I pick up grocery store items for donation at a food pantry. Also, I have actually worn out some of my clothes and I donate them to textile recycling in my city. This includes shoes and sneakers.
What I don't get is why youtube doesn't recommend Diane in my feed...To watch, I always have to intentionally go and find the channel, and Im subscribed..
Thank you Diane 😊 This week I’ll be doing self care mission 1 and also spreading some kindness 🥰
Happy Friday! I always take my lunch and a book onto my patio to enjoy. I also always close my eyes for a quick nap. I love napping outside. For Mother’s Day, I always request my son to write a short letter highlighting a favorite memory of his childhood. I like this activity because he has to think a bit, write and also it increases his appreciation of his parents. And the letters make a nice collection for mom. My husband also did this activity the last few years of his mom’s life (and sadly, his own) and it’s now given us a short peek into family history that otherwise could have been lost. Enjoy your weekend.🌸
I may have to borrow this wonderful idea! ❤
Happy birthday to Sue! You are also an inspiration for many people, Diane. Happy weekend for all!😃🥰
Will eat my lunch outside tomorrow when we have an unusually warm day for late April. Wishing you a restful weekend Diane.
Hi Diane, I’m a long time fan. I started watching to learn the Fly Lady system which I now enjoy. My photo is outdated, I’m in my 50’s. I’m loving your style and colors you’re wearing! Love T’s with blazers and cardigans. Thanks for the style inspiration! I love the balance of taking care of ourselves, our relationships and our homes that you are so talented at sharing!
I love the 10 minutes , so I get started and things done. 🎉
Hello Diane. My husband started decluttering his own clothes. I have been following you and doing Flylady. He sees that things are running more smoothly, and is now joining in on his own.
I do selfcare every Sunday, it‘s a relaxing routine for me. Listen to audiobook Jane Eyre, so lovely. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from cologne Andy
I am a beginner and have a very cluttered house. In just a few years we will be empty nesters and I want to get everything clean, organized and decluttered. I am very overwhelmed. Do you have suggestions about where to start?
Start by removing any trash/recycle from the most visible area seen by guests upon entering your home. Then remove any items that are obvious donations. Next return any items that belong elsewhere in your home.
Also, place like items together to make it easier to find things and determine what things to donate/recycle. Do small chunks at a time to prevent burnout.
Coming back to comment. I decided to do an act of kindness: I went to the yoga centre I attend weekly and offered to care for the plants because they were looking a bit poorly. I also chose to focus on foot care, even though the weather here in 🏴 is far from springlike!
Pedicure is done as a spring treat! Enjoying Toronto with my son this week and went to see Niagara Falls for the first time! A cold water experience in a different way! So, a whole week of self care really! Back home on Sunday night with routines beginning again Monday morning. Finished "Of Manners and Murder" which I enjoyed! Have a great weekend!
Happy Friday! Hope you get to feeling better soon! The spring cold or allergies were here a few weeks ago.. but now they are gone! I'm doing self care 1&2. Our weather is getting warmer so be outside a lot more! See you Monday!
My self care this weekend is laying in bed waiting for antibiotics to be available.
Hubby and kid have taken good care of me while I've been sick.
Waiting to hear from a school who is interested in a visit from my therapy dog. She’s going to be a reading dog! Need to start reading more myself. Looking forward to trying to have breakfast outside too.
I will paint my toenails etc and hope to have a coffee outside Get well soon Diane 😊
Hello Diane from the Ottawa Valley, Canada. Doing something for someone else. Yes! As I was watching your Friday video, I was making a meal for my brother and sister-in-law's family as they recently lost an elderly family member. Homemade soup, sourdough bread, and Morning Glory Muffins. My prayer is that the food will help comfort them during this difficult time.
You take care Diane ,thank you and have a lovely weekend 🎉🎉🎉
Folded laundry and, since the video hadn’t ended yet, moved on to hanging up things on the drying rack. Decluttered a pair of pants…and a hanger that snapped as I tried to use it.
Really enjoy these cheery videos. I always manage to get something done while I watch.
Doing my nails and moisturising.
Been doing random acts of kindness for several years, eg giving packets of biscuits to road workers . 🎉
I love doing the zones as I love decluttering and organizing my hubby does the bigger daily blessing clean bathroom vacuum wash floors I never do I do laundry and dishwasher lol
Hey Diane, as a professional cleaner, housekeeper i work in private homes for 4, 5 houres in the morning and do the same in the afternoon. I clean almost the hole house in that time( it depends the size of the home) and mostly take no breaks and i love it. Its my job to do that. But in my one home i never manage to do that. I have to work with the 10 minutes and your tips from fly lady. That is so strange that at my one home i can not work 4 hours or more and have most of the cleaning done in one morning of afternoon. Thanks for all you do! Isabelle from Belgium
Happy birthday to Sue! 🎉🎉🎉
Hi Diane, I took my breakfast outside this morning. Sun is shining in Glasgow. Great blog as always x
I’m with Jen on this self care of doing the morning wordle and sharing with family.
Also ticking off number one in self care as I’m watching your video while at the gym ❤❤❤
Lovely to have a companion as I tidy up!
Eating breakfast or having tea on the back deck sounds good to me!! Thanks@
Feel better!❤
Dear Diane. Thank you for answering my question! 😊 And thank you for your videos and your help. Hope you're feeling better soon. Best wishes, Anne
Hi Diane, i allways ( when it,s dry) drink my first coffee outside looking at the birds on their feedingtable. Next week i have my brows done and sunday i go to a jamsession from my husband, he is an gitarplayer . So take care, get well and do a bit off selfcare yourself.
Happy birthday 🎉Sue❤
I was overwhelmed and depressed until I watched Flylady who said put your shoes on and clean your sink. That was the beginning of a wonderful systematic way to live. And love your vids.
I’m feeling out of sorts this week, I haven’t gotten much done. No spring fever just the blahs.
Thanks for the 'chat'. Hope you're feeling well again! This week I'm choosing nr 1. 👡
Hope you’re feeling better soon, Diane!
Happy 60th, Sue!
Decluttered junk mail circulars that arrived this week. Our wardrobes are already minimalized but will bring out spring/summer soon and give it a once over. Planning a hygge craft time for the weekend and time in the sunshine on the deck or a drive in the country.
Thanks Diane! Think I'll do an act of kindness and maybe get my feet ready for a season change.
I’m in the U.K. and my husband does the cleaning with me. We share all household and gardening tasks, always have.
Thanks for sharing, Hilary!
❤ your constant encouragement!🎉
