I think #4. We have had winter snow and rainy season along with that. I'm ready for some Spring beauty. And may just buy a bouquet 💐 bc I can't keep plants alive lol
But they're so pretty 💝💐
I think I'll locate my pamper basket . It's a while since I've used it.❤
Good decision! @@edelinprogress
🎉Simplify! I think I will be doing #2. Thank you!🎉
Thanks again! Selfcare mission: Be creative❤
Have a lovely weekend! Jacqueline
Clearing out my late husband's stuff has inspired me to become a minimalist. He was a hoarder and never threw anything away. Last week I destroyed bank statements from the 1990's before we even met. I've been through a garage and double wide trailer and have another garage and shed to go through. I have no children and have vowed to not put my nieces or nephews through this ordeal.
I did pamper #1 this weekend.
Wow…..huge job….so glad you pampered yourself. It must be so freeing especially as you can do it without anything (reasons for keeping) holding you back
When we have nothing to watch, we always turn to Red and Red 2. Always entertaining
I’m 29 years and I love watching your videos for cleaning motivation- love your energy! Also appreciate the “if we have grandkids” comment, shows a real respect for your kids’ autonomy and choices. Keep pumping those pompoms Diane! 🎉
I had forgotten about FlyLady! I followed her back in 2003 - my son was 10 years old and was admitted to Great Ormond Street Hospital for an operation. I remember putting on my lace up shoes during the night to help him! 😅 Over the years that followed FlyLady helped me so much and I kept returning again & again. For some reason, I felt I could manage without her … how wrong could I be! My house is now in need of a complete cleaning overhaul 😅 I have not kept on top of it due to ill health and lack of routines. My son is now 30 and getting married, my daughter is living in London and I think it’s time to get sorted! Thank you so much Diane for your wonderful, upbeat videos 🎉 I’m determined to make 2024 the year I get back on track ❤ xx
Trying to get back on track as well!
#1- For years I’ve listened to you talk about having a pamper basket and thought it was a lovely idea but I never took the time and care to make one for myself. This week I’m making a pact with myself to put one together with my favourite hand creams, a journal, noise cancelling headphones and a treat or two!
I love to read through your reader’s comments Diane and today I realised just how many lives you touch and inspire with your videos. Thank you!
A big part of my self care is watching you! I love thinking ahead to the next week on Fridays, as well. Here is my motto for 2024, with apologies to Henry Thoreau: If I advance confidently in the direction of my dreams, and daily endeavor to live the life I have imagined. I will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
I love that quote!
Hi Diane! Watched Friday video on a Monday and I am planning on self care #1 Cozy Nook. Now off to watch that one!
Beautiful quote! And I agree-this channel is my self care too!💕
I agree with the first sentence!
Last year I started doing Swedish Death Cleaning after I purchased the book, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning by Margareta Magnusson. It sounds very morbid but I found it to be very satisfying. One quote in the book that really struck me was, "... death cleaning is something you should do so that your children and other loved ones will not have to deal with all your stuff." I remember cleaning my mother's house after her death and it was a burden. It often causes problems with other siblings and family members as how to divide the items or throw them out. Thank you, Diane, I really appreciate what you do to help each one of us!!
I just accidentally cleaned the kitchen while listening to you, Diane! Thanks for whatever magic you’re weaving!
LOL! Love that, Niamh!
😂 I do a lot of things "accidentally" but I don't think I have EVER cleaned accidentally! Woohoo, go you!
Me too!
LOL😂😂 I love it! Accidentally cleaned the kitchen 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
My self care includes watching an episode, or part of an episode, of Midsomer Murders! I also enjoy sitting with a cup of tea in my cozy spot and reading. Thank you for always encouraging self-care, Diane!
We have been rewatching Midsomer Murders on the Roku channel - love the "cottages"!
I’ll be doing 2 & 3 (card making)this week . I just wanted to say, I have now completed a whole month cycle of the FlyLady/Diane in Denmark from Zone 1-to Zone 5/1 this week. I can see a huge improvement. My DH last weekend didn’t tell me that his sister and family who were visiting from other state, were coming to our house to visit. We had been out all day and were going straight to their hotel to pick them up so no time to dash home and tidy up. In the past I would have stressed, but I had completed my morning routine and that week had done my weekly home blessing, so it was a surreal feeling. Thank you so much Diane for simplifying things this year, it’s really working for me 💖👏🏻👏🏻❤️
I like the term 'cosy minimalist'
Going to add a "pamper basket" to my minivan. Maybe I'll find myself hoping the kids' soccer or musical practice runs late so I can enjoy a few minutes of "pamper me" time instead of worring that the schedule will be thrown off. Working towards making a life I dont need a vacation from. Thanks for the inspiration!!
#1 change to healthy snacks in pamper basket & #3 get started crocheting a baby blanket for expected great grandchild.
I shopped my house & brought out some artwork by my mother-in-law that has been hidden away. She died in 1967 and I never got to meet her. It’s now on display on a shelf in my living room.
Aww, how lovely, Rhody! 💗
I am all in for needlework, candle and a movie. Long ago I started Fly Lady but it wasn’t till I discovered you a few years that I really got it; I was able to develop and strengthen that declutter muscle along with refining the system to my own life. My house is company ready within minutes.
Another great week Diane ... thank you! My self-care was to watch the movie 'Groundhog Day' on Groundhog Day (Feb 2)! 🙂
A question for a future Q&A segment: Is your entire family multilingual? What language do you speak in the home? What about books/movies? Is everyone comfortable/flexible with English? It's very impressive to me.
I hope you are enjoying your weekend!!
Last week I helped my daughter declutter her bedroom!! We also decluttered and put away craft supplies. I also matched socks... 94 pairs!! I'm so proud of her and she's going to start watching your videos!! Hugs...
For self-care I chose to be creative by drawing and coloring small animals with my granddaughter.
I actually made sure I got together with a friend last weekend. Our intention was to go to a movie, but we decided to just keep chatting. It was wonderful!🎉🎉🎉
Last week I decluttered my jewelry drawer AND wore a favorite old necklace. This week I'm going to a show today, local musical theater with a friend #2, I'm going to move or buy some plants for my office #4, and do more embellishing of Twiddlemuffs to donate for dementia patients! Sounds like fun to me!
Working on improving my routines this week. Starting with simplifying my kitchen.
Good Morning Diane. My selfcare will be piecing a quilt and continuing my knitting.
Being creative is part of my daily routine. I need at least a couple of minutes of art therapy every day. Usually it’s in the form of art journaling.
I bought some daffodils and have put them like you on the window at my sink. Felt I needed a pick me up as feeling the dark month of January was getting to me. They will cheer me up as I wash the dishes. Thank you for your motivation.
Great idea, Mrs Bullfinch! 🌷🌷
A happy coincidence today, at cards , a friend brought us all a potted flowering primula to take home...hygge with no effort..such a thoughtful thing that made us all smile.
I caught the flu, and I'm just getting better today, so I'll do some catching up on your videos and my home. Thank you for being here.
Thank you, Diane. A spring pot plant sounds very tempting. Those colourful flowers do bring a lot of joy 😊. Have a nice weekend, everyone.
Thanks Diane for being so good at what u do & for keeping us grounded! It always helps to have a cheerleader!
I think I'll fine tune by basket by my favorite chair for my self care this week. Thanks, Diane.
I love the exchange party. It looks like some much fun like eating. I like ideal how you all work together to bag up the donations. So much fun!! I think of you everyday as I declutter daily, I like short term decluttering, Joan
Oooh, what great choices! I have repositioned a mobile into a living room corner where it will be more visible and get a bit of heat updraft that will move it more. I’m also going to look at a couple of neglected knotting projects and decide on their future, perhaps while watching a rediscovered DVD of “Annie Hall” before decluttering it.
Have a great weekend, Diane! I'm now working on decluttering some of my late mom & dad's papers. Their in heaven now. Dad passed in 2016 and mom in 2019. Lots of old papers and family history to go through. I will do it 10 minutes at a time. I'm sure it will take a while, but doing a bit a day is better than doing nothing at all. Set the timer, and off I go!!! 😊
Shop my house for Valentine’s Day quilt for living room and buy potted flowers for kitchen. Your flowers always make me happy and this self help activity actually helps me add it to my life. Thanks!
I'm going to continue painting my boots with leather paint for carnival today. The costume is black and pink and the boots now have a pink top as a highlight. As a DYT type 1, I had to keep black clothes especially for the costume. Type 1 doesn't wear black! By the way, I have a stair basket, it's handy for carrying lots of small things, including food. Or I take something with me in the car for longer trips to customers. I love my little ! ones baskets. Now I'm going to start my weekly house cleaning and then enjoy a delicious lupin coffee with oat milk foam!❤❤❤Thank you Diane for being there❤❤❤
When my kids were small, I always wanted one of those stair baskets. Good to know that I didn’t really need it! 😂 I’m sitting in my cozy nook as I watch this, and I am decluttering a few books! Self care mission for me will be #2. 😊 Thank you, Diane!
For self care I’m being creative. Daughter #4 showed me a crocheted top and I’m making it without a pattern. So far it’s looking pretty good. Have a fun weekend Diane. See you Monday.
I combine my self care of a couple of baths a week with watching you. I have been watching you for several years now but not really got anywhere with routines. I'm putting this down to serious sleep deprivation. My son is 3 now and still wakes at least once a night. This is a vast improvement on a minimum of wake ups. Anyway since a week of work mid Jan where I dedicated time to decluttering the kitchen, I am now becoming more consistent at moving stuff out the house 5mins here and there, maybe not everyday but this is finally a start!
Thank you, Diane, for being there ❤

Thanks for answering my question! I find you so motivational! Thanks for being here x
Happy Friday….every 1st of the month I shop my house and change a little something around. So that was yesterday’s self care. This morning I spent a few minutes choosing and ordering my library books for the month.🌸
Yay! 📚📚📚
Love this idea
I have been working along with you in the Zone 5 (Livingroom) this week, but then today I realized that I should be working in Zone 1 (Dining Room), also. Thank you for explaining that this week has two zones.Today I quickly did some cleaning in Zone 1. I washed windows, dusted furniture, cleaned sliding door track, and several other projects.
Happy weekend!! I hope you have a great weekend!
I really enjoy being a minimalist and now that I am older I find it far less stressful to keep things in the house organized and cleaned. We are working this weekend on a short list of things around the house that we have been putting off for a couple of months in preparation for the Lunar New Year on Sunday. Have a good weekend everyone.
Thanks for sharing your minimalism experience, Diane!
Hey Ho Diane. It is Groundhog Day here in US today. We are going to the movie Ground Hog Day staring Bill Murray. Take care and thanks for the video
Have fun, Bridget!
I bought a new plant and I’m shopping my house. I also did something creative by arranging roses in a vase. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to look at them and care for the plant. Great suggestions, Diane. Thank you.
I’m reading Richard Osmans whole 4 books atm. Love them. Part of my self care every day. You totally brighten my life Diane. I am similar age to you with kids same ages doing same things, flying the coop, setting up apartments etc. Busy being creative atm and sewing cushions for my son’s outdoor setting he bought second hand. Giving it a joosh up!!!!!I xxxx thank you ❤
Thank you again, Diane! Love the pink on you! 💕 I’m thinking I might get all 4 of the self care options in this week! 🎉 Number 1 - loving the nook idea! Number 2 - I think I’m going to find an old fashioned movie to revisit! 🎥 Number 3 - get creative with something… possibly get out into the garden! 🌱 Number 4 - shop the house, or get a new plant 🪴! Wonderful suggestions! ✨ have a wonderful weekend all! 🥰
Doing something creative is always on my self-care list. I am hoping to make some small fabric dolls costumed as characters from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” Wish me luck!
Good luck, Becky! 🍀🍀🍀😃
Thank you once again Diane! I'm working on getting back to my routines. During today's video I made the bed, changed the LOL, and unloaded/loaded the dishwasher. Today I'll work on quilting as my self care. Hugs to you from Washington, USA
Quilt so I'll be taking some progress on my current quilt project.
2 watching video from library. 3 currently wool applique quilt 1 block each month and sewed new apron. 4 put up valentine 💝 decorations for this month
I always buy the first tulips when i spot them. It gives me a feeling of spring.
I will watch a re-run of the comedy show -" Raymond." (I live in the USA) This show makes me laugh out loud.
We know that Laughter is the best medicine. Thanks Diane.
I'm going to do all four of the self-care options this week. Thanks for the ideas!
My husband and I love your videos and he’s on board. Rah rah rah. We are blessing our house. One room a week.
Thank you!

1. already have my pamper basket/cosy nook but this was a reminder to sort and restock my basket. 2. already working our way through the dvd's, bingeing on Supernatural currently. 3. two handmade birthday cards, the left front of a knitted gilet, and the start of a knitted dog jacket to keep my 20year old cat warm. 4. swapped some of the bathroom candles and some of the bedroom plants for some of both in the living room. has changed the whole house, even the kitchen feels different somehow and I didn't do anything there. thanks for the continuing motivation
1-4
Got some chocolate and tea for my pamper basket
I rotate my plants
Cause we been having storms here in Arizona
Plus new candle
I was given a gift card to a local plant nursery for Christmas,so I will get myself over there and spend it
I was so inspired by Sunny in the Suburbs junk drawer (and counter) declutter and organize video today that I want to achieve that feeling too!
#4 Going to treat myself to some fresh spring flowers from Lidl when I do my errand day 💐
Hi! I'll be doing #2 and #3 ... creative (drawing) and see a movie/watch dvd. Yaaay! Thanks for another fun video.
2 and 3
Watched good old Bridget Jones with my daughter while almost finishing a quilt for my other daughters birthday ( started in 2020!) Think will need a few more DVDs tomorrow as about to see on the binding!
I loved all the to do’s 1 to 5 and enjoying those flowers by your sink and also coming up in the garden the next year! Talk about value adding!
Having to play catch-up since my father was hospitalized from the first through thru the 5th of February. Self care went by the wayside as we focused on him. I did have the responsibility of crafts with kids at church Sunday night so I did find time for crafting with them.
Just realized how much “taking care of self” is in your daily routines. I would like to incorporate more of those things that help make life calm. I think I’ll doodle for some fun.
My self care this week will be to begin organizing our first swap party!
Thank you, for motivating me. I will watch a movie that I enjoy Chocolat..❤
Very, very interesting….and I loved that you shared some memories and stories around your things and the Danish customs. I loved the sweet sheep…and Bunny and Clyde….and all the natural eggs you gave away and donated. I love your no waste donating and give aways.
Instead of Journaling I am doing 'Letters to my children' where I kind of journal thoughts that I want to tell my children. I hope to be able to give them a little book some day 😍
That's a lovely idea, Luciana - I'll share it in next week's Q&A planning video! 👏🤩
@@DianeinDenmark oh Diane 😍you just made my day! I learned so much from you and I kind of hope to be a little bit like you when I am at the season of life you are in 🤗.
We wish you a lovely weekend and I will meet you next week 😘
I chose to do something creative. I pulled out my acrylic paints and painted 😊 thank you, Diane!
Your encouragement keeps me going. This week I tackled my out-of-control office and caught up all the filing. Long overdue! Thank you for cheering us on!
I love all the self-care ideas. I'll be doing #3 this weekend. I have a very old paint-by-number kit that I figured the paint would be dried up, so was going to try some markers on it. Turns out the paints are fine, so going to give it a try!
I'm shopping my home & decluttering my family room.
Been needed for years. 👍🏻
Fresh flowers in the family room thanks to my hubby❤️
And refreshing my “pamper pouch”- I use a zipper bag for my pamper items so if it gets knocked over or off my side table nothing falls out 😃
My self care will be reading in our formal living room. This room is so seldom used. Will also fill up the bird feeder, as they've finished eating all of the berries on the Winterberry Holly!
All of the self care suggestions sound wonderful! I am leaning toward watching a movie and/or shopping my home to change decor.
Im still off work sick & now my youngest is sick, but Im here :)
Healing hugs to you both, Cambria! 💗
Get well soon
@@DianeinDenmark Thank you 💝
@@margaretsofocleous1999 Thank you 💝
I will fill up my pamper basket and watch a movie. Thank you for the reminder to take care of myself!
All suggestions for self care are appealing. I already have the cozy nook but will add fresh flowers to this spot. ❤
Hi Diane, I’m finally recovering enough to get back to some house work. I worked in my closet and dresser today and now I’m rewarding myself with your video and a cup of tea! ❤
I will be changing things in my living room. Change up the mantle, move a candle and maybe change a set of pillows in my lower level with the ones currently on my sofa.
I went through our box of old videos (VHS) tapes and sent them off to a company that converts them to a digital format! Lots of my high school basketball games and news footage. Was fun to see the younger athlete in me! I was so relieved that they were still in tact (after being in a California attic for far too long) and happy to get rid of the boxes and recycle the other VHS tapes that had recorded TV shows😂😂😂! I feel much lighter!❤
Cleaned the stove top and vent while listening to you. A job I have been avoiding.
Pink looks so good on you ❤ self care- cup of tea, candle and I'm going to put on a movie since hubby is out of town. 😊
I’m helping my hubby organize his vinyl record collection. It’s a task I’ve been putting off for years!
It’s a creative thing because I’m lettering the dividers- lettering is a hobby of mine.
My pamper will be a movie and I may try journaling 🎉🎉🎉
I chose do something creative! I write letters and had written one to a friend, but I got out my coloured pencils and spent a few minutes decorating the envelope. Made the plain envelope much more interesting and it was fun! I try to do all your self care ideas over a couple days. I consider them assignments!
For my self care I’ve been watching a vintage movie on Saturday evening. Tonight’s movie will be The Maltese Falcon with Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor. Hope you have a great weekend Diane!
Thank you for another interesting video x
I am choosing #1 and #2. We were on a trip last weekend, that's why I'm doing my self care missions on a Monday.
Probably because I'm a gardener and I follow you, UA-cam suggested one of your older videos. It was about adapting Zones for the garden. It inspired me to walk around on a beautiful afternoon this week and make Zones for my new garden.
For self care I'm making living room a bit springish. Also bought a new orchid for dinner room table.
I'm currently reading The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies by Alison Goodman. 40 something Spinsters helping women in bad situations. It's wonderful!
Happy Friday, Diane!!! I’m watching you in the evening. We are expecting a snowy weekend here in Nova Scotia. My self care this weekend will be knitting. I finished my toque a few weeks ago, now my Husband wants one. 😂 Have a wonderful weekend! See you Monday!!!❤❤❤
We’ve moved recently. Setting up a cosy nook sounds like the ticket for me!
I always run your videos while I work in my house. I love the coaching you provide… thank you so much!
I have today off from work, and just happened to do number 4 before watching your video! 😀 Number 3 will be next. Have a great weekend!
Thank you! You too, Ann!
I am doing a twist on mission 4. Here in the states it is Ground Hog day and Punxatony Phil predicted an early spring. So I am switching out my winter table cloth for a spring one. 🎉🎉🎉
You r a great help to many ppl.Enjoy ur channel for years..Take care b safe...
Think I will buy a pot of flowers. Thank you for your encouragement as usual. I hope you get to 100k followers. I remember the excitement of you getting to 20k.
Thanks, Susie! 👋😃
Thank you Diane, for your videos.I like to read for my self-care, after, of course, I have cleaned & tidied up❤
Pamper basket for me! The hygge video where your in your hygge spot was the first video I found you! Yay hygge 🎉🎉🎉
Yay! Thank you, Mary! 🎉🎉🎉
