Great video. Your clothing is always so beautiful - you have great taste. I am seeing excellent progress with flying! I was very excited to have completed all...yes ALL the laundry in the house this week!!! I went to put a load of laundry on Saturday and realised I didn't need to. I can't tell you when that last happened. Thanks Flylady Diane for all the encouragement. Off to start my Weekly Home Blessing now x
Enjoy your WHB - another great tool!

If you're a morning person, who is very tired by dinner time, try getting your dinner ready in the afternoon. All of the prep dishes can get washed and put away then. Pop the dinner in the oven when it's time to eat and clean up is so quick and easy. Morning people's energy fades as their day goes on, so anything that can be done early in the day will make the later part of the day go easier.
Hi Patrice! I love putting dinner in the crockpot in the morning...I have quite a few recipes on my recipes/crafts playlist 🖐🏼😀
PERFECT 👍🏻
Thank you! I am a morning person, and I am a mess in the evening.
I love your clothes and sense of style. Your method of communication is very calming.
Dear Diane your routine clips give me my motivation back after I had a hectic periode. Thanks for the lovely clips and inspiration and motivation
The best advice my mom ever gave me was, "clean while you go" in the kitchen. I clean or load the chopping board, the knives, the measuring cups, pots/pans and clean countertops/stove/sink as I cook so when I sit down to dinner everything is already clean. Then we each load our plate/dish into the dishwasher after eating.
Same here. So I only have to put my plate and fork into the dishwasher after finishing meal. Clean the table and that’s it. This is a life time routine I’ve learned as a kid. However same with putting out the dishes after the dishwasher is finished. I hate to put everything out in the morning, I’ll do it in the evening so I’ll come onto a fresh clean kitchen in the morning.
Love having only 10 dresses as my entire wardrobe. They are hung in a row with the matching jewelry hung on the hanger with each dress. No thinking, no planning. Dress on the left is the outfit of the day. I add a sweater if it’s chilly or I’ll be in the air conditioning.
What a fabulous idea! I have far too many tops and bottoms that just don't go together and always looking for the perfect match that isn't wearing with jeans, I've actually bought myself a couple of simple shift dresses for the summer and love wearing them, I think I might have to add more and let go of some of the separate pieces. Thank you :)
That's a grand idea! Where did you discover it? (The dresses)
You're very stylish! And it's so fun watching you grooving along as you cleaned your kitchen.
Thanks, Diane! I’ve been doing my evening routine now for about six months and love it! We are a retired couple and I’ve noticed that my husband now jumps up after dinner & cleans the sink many evenings. We are so comfortable in our clean cottage. You are an inspiring teacher...thanks so much. Our home feels very hygge these days! You are a blessing.
I can second to all that you have said, Cheryl. Even the part about husband cleaning the sink sometimes😊
Aww, this is such an uplifting comment. I hope you are still as happy.
Getting out the door in the morning is so much easier when I’ve done my evening routine the night before!
Washing utensils/pans as I prepare dinner has been the best time saver. There is very little left after dinner to clean up.
Yes!!!
I love this woman - she’s great!!
Thank you so much!
I had 4 kids, and cleaning up after them got very automatic for me. Once I got bitten by a dog at work, (I am a vet tech), and I had to go to the ER. After they stitched up my hand, I started cleaning up the bandage papers! The nurse stopped me and said I did not have to do that! I was embarrassed, and realized how used to cleaning up I had become! lol
So funny! I clean up our table at restaurants after we eat. I simply don’t feel right leaving a mess for someone else to clean. I’m sure the servers love me 😂
@@haircandykina omg same i feel so bad 😭😭
I signed up for fly lady ..but had to unsubscribe.. selling stuff and so many emails ....
I love your channel ....so easy to watch and learn ...Thankyou ❤️
I was the same, I love the principles, and would like to maintain my contact, but I get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of emails.
I love having a night routine., and then in the morning it's such a pleasure to walk out of my bedroom to a fresh and orderly home tfs 💐💐💐💐💐💐
Such a pretty yellow cardigan and necklace!
Please keep your videos coming! They keep me on track ! They motivate me and inspire me. So many good ideas to make it easier. Thank you and God bless you!
So true about the routines following us where we are. While camping I make the bed in the morning and can't stand going to bed if the camper is messy. Also get my camping coffee pot ready in the evening so that in the morning I just flip the switch, ride my bike to the restrooms and get back to nice hot coffee to relax outside with before hubby gets up and the campground gets busy. FlyLady routines have made my life so much nicer...
Yes, we will swish and swipe anywhere!
Actually, we don't have a bathroom in our camper. And I don't clean toilets at our camp ground. They are public and gross. The kind you hover over because you don't dare touch. They clean them twice a day but ewe! So glad I do a lot of squats and have strong quads... haha.
Very inspirational! I've spent the 7 days challenge doing my BR every night and this is the icing on the cake! Thank you for the peek into your life, Flylady Diane.
"clean as you go, and it won't show!"
I’m seeing so much progress and experiencing so much freedom following the Flylady method. Still a long way to go and a lot to do but I’m making a lot of progress.
Great video! Thank you. It's nice to see you having fun as you accomplish it all. You are more helpful than you can ever know. Blessings....
You are so inspirational. I am retired and have terrible habit and slouching around in the mornings in my Jamie's. Because of you, I'm going to change. I have an abundance of clothing and this will make sure that I'm able to benefit from all of it. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Loved the video, and may I say how beautiful your style is? Just gorgeous!
Agree. Begin meal preparation by filling the sink with wash water. There is time to wash, dry, and put away the prepware while the food is cooking. You need to hover over the meal as it cooks anyway so cleanup is the best use of that time. Also the prepware is easiest to clean before the ingredients have had time to dry up. When you've finished dining, all that remains to clean are the dinner plates and utensils and perhaps a cookpot or two. Sometimes I've been able to wash the pots right after the food is cooked. At other times, I use a serving bowl so I can start soaking a pot before sitting down to eat. It feels marvelous to walk into a clean kitchen right after a delightful meal. Wash up a few little things without breaking that pleasant mood.
You Diane enthuse me.Love your Danish accent, love your hair cut and love your choice of clothes. You are a terrific roll model.
I believe Diane is actually Scottish. She isn't Danish. Xx
I've been working my way through your videos. I did attempt the Flylady years ago but became overwhelmed and confused. You make it easy to navigate and I love the snippets of life from Denmark. I especially enjoyed spotting my perfume Coco and also the Clarins in this one. I also loved your trip to the library in a previous video. I also love thrillers and crime. I shall work my way through your entire collection but just wanted to say thank you for your calming inspiration and live long and prosper!
Welcome here, Josephine - so glad you are enjoying watching!
I used to let my hand wash items sit out to dry on my stove after dinner. That made the kitchen look messy and it made unnecessary work for me in the morning. Now I take seconds (literally) to dry them with a towel and put them right away. Best idea ever!
Yay! I often wonder, what on earth was I thinking - ten seconds and the job is done!
I am the same in the morning. Especially when I have a event in the morning, I make my cereal up the night before, except for the milk, of course. I put it in the fridge. The next morning I tell myself, eating won't take long; it is already ready. Otherwise my brain will exaggerate how long this will take, and stay in bed. LOL.
You are so beautiful. Such a lovely outfit too!
Your evening routine in the kitchen is the same as mine but it takes me much longer to do it. I will have to work on it and keep it simple. Yes, there's so much I need to learn and improve.... Glad I found you.
Babysteps, Patrizia - I didn't learn everything overnight!
I love your approach. With just a few tweaks, I’ll be like you. Yippee!
Such a cheery apron and video! Thank you, Diane 🦋
I adore your routine videos!!
Love the idea of planning my clothes with the clean laundry. You're right, pull together the outfit - right from my clean clothes! I love hanging the outfit on a hook in my closet! Thanks for that simple and useful tip!
Glad it was helpful, Kathryn...it's great when we can make less work for ourselves!
Great video! Your clothes are so beautiful and classy. Thank you for sharing how you do your routines.
Diane, you always look great and natural doing your videos. As a realtor I’m told I need to get a UA-cam channel but I’m afraid to start. I admire you greatly.
Love it!!! Inspirational Thank you Blesssings hugs!!!
Thanks for this beautiful video.
That was such a sweet video ! là So glad I found you ! Off to watch some more.
Great video ! Super inspired to set up my evening routine 😊
I love your videos so much! They are interesting and creative! Your awesome!!!
Thanks for sharing 🌸
i enjoy all the candles!
Thank you Diane. This is my favorite video by you, it gave such a good overview. Thank you again! 😊💛
Coolest window EVER!!!
Learning a lot from you, thank you
Great inspiration
I love all the videos. I’ve started looking out my outfits and it has helped me so much. I am grateful for all those videos of you looking out your outfits. I never thought of that before I just laid out my clothes for the next day.
I like your outfit's!!❤
Love this video; it's so helpful. I saved it in my VERY BEST folder. I've watched you for years, and you are such a blessing to me.
Super helpful thank you! 🙏
Thanks for share the evening routine, it helps so much. When you do your Dishes its so funny, when you shake to the musik. Love it, to see you by housework.
Thanks - I always have music in the background!
Literally 2:09 in and I’m subscribing!! You seem so fun!
You are the sweetest! So happy that I found your channel.
Welcome here, Trisha!
Excellent tips FlyLady Diane, thank you for making these videos, they are so helpful! What an inspiration you are! It helps to know I'm not the only one.
We flybabies are all the same, Lucie!
cozy!
Excellent video!! Thank you so much for sharing your evening routine. You shared some really good tips for preparing for the next day. I am going to try setting out some items for my daughter's breakfast. Anything I can learn I greatly appreciate. Have a wonderful day!!---Tressa Daigle
You, too, Tressa! Setting the breakfast table also means that we don't eat the same old thing every day, another plus.
Lovely video tfs! It'd be interesting to see how you layer your routines with the weekly home blessing and cleaning a zone. Just thinking about it seems overwhelming 😨Maybe because I work full time / facing up to the fact I'm the adult now and no one else will do it for me?!? 😀
LOL! Yes, I've mentioned that before...sometimes I look around, waiting for the adult to do it and realise the adult is me!
I love your videos. so inspiring. I'm especially inspired because of your home and appearance. I also really like the gentle way you speak without hype. You walk the talk. I've just discovered this and I'm keen to get on board. I'm curious about how much premium costs and if we can request our preference for a mentor? keep up the great work encouraging people.
Smart with the music for motivation. bopping to the beat you loose calories as well. Thanks for sharing😉🤗😁😇.
I love this. Both the Evening and Morning videos give me some ideas.
My evening is a bit all over the place, but finally starting to smooth out. I work...kind of from home. We have a small office outside the house I use to teach English. Anyway, Things like the Swish and Swipe can only be done in the evening for me (I live with my husband, his parents and his sister...so five adults total. Oh, and a cute dog :).
I'm trying to figure out how to work in hotspots and cleaning (though I am only on day 7 tomorrow). I have to manage it around the others in the house, and some hotspots/cleaning can only be done at certain times. The zone idea is giving me ideas on how to manage it better, so I can't wait to get to that part of the Baby Steps. This is so exciting!
Very realistic. Some videos seem more complicated than I want to do.
I am revisiting the flylady system now and have been enjoying your videos. I am working on my morning and evening routine and weekly focus for a few weeks then I’ll incorporate zones later. I’m making kid zones to match mine so that it’s easier for them to stay motivated and I can guide them since they are young. Thank you so much for sharing all your flylady wisdom with us. I live in the US but when my husband and I visited a friend in Austria and we traveled to Germany as well and their bedding is the same way. We loved the simplicity of everything and it really inspired us to work on our own spaces. I wish the mixture of the cultures in America could bring back their little nuggets of tradition to the new generations. I have a lot of British decent and tea time was very big for my mom growing up. I would love to make that part of my tradition with my littles. The simple things are really so delightful.
Welcome here! 👋😃
Great ideas...I also make the bed when I'm away too lol ...when I was away on holiday and one of the cleaning ladies said to me WOW I can't believe of clean the place is!!! She said I should be leaving you a tip!!! Lol 😄🤣👍💖
Love that, Della!
I've realised the dish washer is the key. I spend HOURS washing up. I have a friend who's a natural Flygentleman and he spends WAY less time than I doing housework. Also less water flying around so less mopping on the floor.
Fabuous home!
Great video, thank you so much for sharing your evening routines. One thing I've just recently started doing was picking my outfit out the night before, it's not a consistent part of my routine yet but I sure see how much time it's helping me to save in the morning.
Yes! I couldn't see the purpose of it (when I stopped working outside of the home) but we all need a 'uniform' :-)
Hi Diane, I found your evening routine video helpful, thank you. I loved seeing you having fun and dancing around your kitchen while doing the clean up! Your setting the table for breakfast the night before prompts me to share part of my morning routine. When I empty the dishwasher in the morning, I set the table for dinner - things go smoother in the evening when the table is already set! :-)
YES!!! I do the same thing, Jane! (Or the kids do, if they empty the dishwasher). We will cut any corners that we can! No point in putting the dishes in the cupboard if we are going to be using them at the next meal! :-)
"Go us"!
What a gorgeous home you have! I’m new to fly lady and totally agree with you that you don’t need to do the whole system to start seeing results.
Welcome here, Orsolya!
I clean up as I go too and never sit down to eat until everything is in the dishwasher
Hey Diane, I have been jealous that you have more than 1 duvet cover so I finally allowed myself to get a 2nd one...it arrived today... yay!!! I love the option to switch them up. I may get a 3rd... but I am decluttering so probably not any time soon:-) Thanks for one more reason to be glad to have found your you tube channel.
+Char VanderBent Oooo, enjoy!
The most important thing I have to do is take my night time medication. My nurse comes in the morning to give me my morning medication, and set out my evening medication. My pharmacy has these awesome bubble packs, the nurse doesn't have to think. But I also have multi-vitamin and vitamin D (I live in central Ohio).
Loved this video. That bubble bath looks so inviting. I haven't taken one since I have no idea. It definitely is worth it to get everything ready the night before. I love your outfits, so pretty.
I dare you to take that bubble bath! ;-)
Lovely 🌸I’m new to Fly. I was surprised to hear that you a a bit anxious. You seem so calm and in control. I keep my home cozy did not realize I was naturally attracted to the hygge life style with regards to my home .Didn’t know that’s what it was until recently. I just have a yearning for a calming environment. I to am wound tight 😂.I live in USA California. Always had a hectic life. High stress work etc....Now I just recently retired and feeling the need to relax. I love that I have found you . Thank you for sharing. My husbands mother was danish. I think I need to move there😂🙏❤️I will work on ROUTINE😊
Welcome here, Dawne!
There are lots of good Flylady videos out there but your style really speaks to me Diane. Maybe it's because I'm Scottish too :-) I guess I've been a Flybaby for years without knowing it, as I do tend to put things away, do laundry regularly and avoid having too much stuff. However my current challenge of trying to redecorate my home to sell it *and* keep everything else under control is going to require more structure to make decent progress, so I am grateful for content like yours to help me get more organized.
If you or anyone else who reads this could advise, I'd be grateful to know whether you think it is worth letting the daily routines slip somewhat to bash on with the decorating and ruthless dejunking or ensuring everything is kept in order and taking a little longer to get the projects finished. I abhor a mess, but only have so much time in a day so could put up with a little chaos for the goal of moving in with my fiancé, who is helping as much as he can for he's keen to put the second ring on my finger.
Hi Irene! I'd keep going with a basic daily routine...you really need to keep some sanity going with all that decorating/decluttering going on. Remember to use a timer and take regular breaks 😃
@@DianeinDenmark Thanks very much Diane, that's what I needed to hear. Our issue has been there is no real time pressure for us and we've fiddle-faddled along to get things done. My inclination has been to try to keep things in order, as this has gone on so long I'd have gone insane living in chaos all this time!

Good Morning, Diane! I was just rewatching this to encourage myself in continuing my evening routine. I just noticed that as this video began, your outfit was DYT1 and you didn't even know about DYT then😊😊Maybe you knew your real truth, all long! And if you ever end up reading this,that white flower necklace is my favorite. I can't remember, do you STILL have it? Thinking it might be a charity shop find so I probably couldn't find one like it. Either way, thanks for the cheer & encouragement!!
What's DYT, please?
Diane, I'm a mum and definatly got into the ropey mum uniform. My husband has heard me moaning about how frumpy I look he's said I can have an allotment of money for my birthday to do and buy a capsual wardrobe (I would obviously donate or trash all the old clothes for decluttering) but anyhow you always look so wonderful and well put together do you have any tips ?
Hi Jemma! How fun - but you don't need to spend money! Are you looking out your outfit the night before, and picking out a piece of jewellry, scarf or other accessory? Wear a fancy top (one that you might have been keeping for 'formal') with a pair of dark jeans. My uniform is dark jeans, a top (I don't suit t-shirts) plus a cardigan/jacket. I get together with friends and we have clothes swap parties (we all bring a bag of things we have decluttered). It's a great way to try new styles without forking out. And I buy a lot of my jewellry from charity shops :-)
Hi Diane, thank you for the suggestions I don't own any jewelery other than my wedding rings I currently only have old tattered jeans some tshirts and out of shape jumpers🙈I love the idea or charity shops though!!!
I'm so glad that I came across your channel! I had been looking into the KonMari way of de-cluttering and organizing, but I just couldn't get past the thought of holdind each item in my handing to see if it brings sparks joy & if not, thanking the item for working for me until then and sending it off with love.
I am a pack rat. . . putting "feelings" or "personality" on inatimate objects is something I have done since I was a very young child. That is why I AM a pack rat. I don't need a system (that has helped sooooooo many people, I realize) to help fan that flame.
I am inspired by watching channels of women who are applying the Flylady method. It seems to be a solid, no guess-work method. I need that! Is there one of Flylady's books that you would recommend for a new want-to-be-a-Flybaby?
Thank you for any input!
-Robin
The "Sink Reflections" is a good one to start with!
Great evening routine Diane. What I notice and I've being doing this in my kitchen is having a space for everything so when it's time to put things away it's easier and therefore makes cleaning off the work surfaces really easy. I still haven't found anywhere for my tomatoes and fruit, any suggestion? I also keep salt and pepper next to the cooker, do you Diane? Thanks as always. Bubble bath for me now. Xx
I keep fruit in a bowl in my kitchen. Salt (mill) and pepper (mill) is on the dining table - the large containers are in the drawer where I keep dried spices/herbs.
hi Diane thanks for your videos I really enjoy them. funny you talk about 4 season in a day,it's the same here in Scotland:-) could I please ask when you add video links on the screen do you mind also adding the link in the description box below, also question about your the rag you shine your sink, is it just any old cotton rag ok or microfibre?
Hi Diege! I'm from Edinburgh so I feel right at home with the Danish weather! LOL I just use whatever is available to shine my kitchen sink...as you can see from the video, it's usually the hand towel or dishtowel which I have been using that day. I just dry out the sink, I don't spend hours polishing it.
Love this hairdo on you, your eyes pop!
hi diane. can u post a picture of your window? I'm curious about the design. :)
do you usually iron?
Thanks.Inspired by your video I did my evening routine in the kitchen for the first time. I feel peaceful and like I can concentrate on other things I want to do. It feels great and it was very good to see you in your own kitchen...it becomes very evident and it just wasn't more difficult than that to tidy up after dinner.
Thank you, I am also a T1/4 and find your videos very helpful and your style very inspiring! Boy mom here, too! Just curious, when do you exercise? That seems to trip me up, work out at home or gym? If gym, have to lug all my clothes...ugh.
Hi FlyLady Diane, I love the clean look of no window curtains. What do you do about privacy (I am ground level). Do you have special windows that can change to frosty opaque ?
LC in Massachusetts
We have blinds in some of the rooms, so we can pull them down as required.
Lovely, thank you for all your tips.
--------------
Speaking of DYT: All on you- your sweater, necklace, nail polish, all clothes, colors are type1. Your energy likewise. Looking at facial features apple cheeks, rounded profile around your chin, sparkle in your eyes, round eyes, are all suggesting type one. All but your haircut that however used to be type 1.
My guess is you are 1/4 and absolutely complete in that. Your secondary type four inspires tidiness and order, while type one carries it all through with indisputable sparkle and lightness.
BTW, the beige outfit behind on your door looks sensational on a type one. :-)
PS
Maybe it is the other way round..I checked your Insta now......maybe you embraced the type one now, if so great!! You look fantastic and 1/4 can also look very sleek and put tighter in a type 1 choices (like th white jacket with flowing rounded back, marine trousers and block yet type one colors. Splendid!!
It makes me happy when it all comes together. :-)) no matter whom it concerns.
Hi! 😃 Just to bring you up-to-date on DYT... Carol Tuttle very generously stepped in and helped me find my true self (she "cluebombed" me that I'm a 1/4) and you can see all my DYT related videos here ua-cam.com/play/PLxIYCyTLBED-_AxzW73x4ZWtikVFAvDQW.html I was also interviewed by her on her Energy Profiling Show, where she talks about "cluebombing" facebook.com/caroltuttle/videos/215942572601047/ Hope you enjoy!

Hello! I love watching your evening routine. I was wondering why you use a timer (You said you do this when you switch on your music.)? Thanks!
Hi Natasha! Setting a timer helps me focus and stay on task. And if I don't like working, the timer reminds me that I only have to work for a certain amount of time and after that I can relax. Hope that helps!
@@DianeinDenmark thanks! I like to use it in a similar way - I time my work to show myself that it really doesn't take long so that the next time I'm tempted to skip it, I remember it only actually takes about 8 or so minutes. Odd how it makes it more fun but it does! ;)
What kind of sink is in your bathroom! I’m obsessed. I need it!!
It's from Hans Grohe (Urquiola) 💦
It looks like you have good storage space. Do you have any suggestions for those of us who don't?
Keep decluttering and maximise your storage by using all the space (adding extra shelves in cupboards, under beds etc)
Great video! I wonder what music you like to listen to while you clean? I heard about you in the comments of a video of one of my fave UA-camrs, Money Mom in Texas
Hi Brandi and welcome! I listen to upbeat music (house, disco)
Just tidied up everywhere. And feeling good. Could you please do a video on how you store your clothes. Thanks so much :)
I have a playlist called "Building a wardrobe" where you can see my bedroom/clothes storage 👋
I love your timber benchtops, does it take much to maintain them?
People have put me off by saying they need regular maintenance?
Hi Lisa! Our worktops are solid wood and very easy to maintain...I give them a very quick sand (by hand, not machine) every six/nine months, and brush on some linwood oil from IKEA. That's it!
@@DianeinDenmark thank you!
I have a similar night routie. but my kitchen cleanup takes me 30 mins to an hour.
I am confused on how to do weekly home blessing , zone, morning and night all in one day.
Also zone cleaning has say 10 items, how do you complete those in 60 mins in a week?
do we do how many we can of 10 this week and do the rest next week?
Hi Mom! Please don't be so hard on yourself and try to do the whole system at once. I know that you are following the 31 babysteps which is a fantastic place to start. Keep your routines short and be consistent with them before adding in the Weekly Home Blessing. After you are comfortable doing that, you can add in one or two missions for the zones. Are you using a timer, and did you make a Control Journal (we start that on day 8 of the Babysteps)? They will keep you on track and stop you from spending too much time. Remember to take breaks, too! Hugs!
I have a question. I don’t mind laying out my clothes for tomorrow but what to do with my worn clothes? Do you trow them in the laundry or hang them? I have a tendency to pile them up. And then think after an few days I don’t like the mess I’ll trow them in the washpile. 😕
I air my clothes overnight and then put them back in the wardrobe. If they are dirty, they go straight in the washing basket. Don't pile them on "The Chair"! LOL!
All good...but I put the knives behind the tap so no one gets cut washing up later!
Where about in Scotland are you from? I’m in Edinburgh lovely to. Hear a Scottish accent!
Edinburgh, EH7!
Diane in Denmark ah lochend/restalrig (ish) how did you end up in Copenhagen? I’m planning to come to Copenhagen for my 50th in September! I have fallen in love with scandi style I watch signe in Use less. I’m exploring hygge and Lagom ( which I know is Swedish) I am on the autistic spectrum and experience poor executive function so I am hoping that the FlyLady structure will help me. I’m out at the gyle with a one bedroom upper villa so space is very limited. I am working on my own concept of “my capsule life” and if I could just get a bit more organised I am planning to create content on social media have camera and mic but trying to get spae to set up is nigh on impossible. I am just on baby step 6 so have Managed to get up fold my cover dressed to shoes and makeup postit notes currently being placed where I will see them had my breakfast hoping coffee and cigarette will count I shown my sink last night and have pulled a disk file to begin working on my control folder so a very productive morning. And swif and swiped bathroom and kitchen. Wow things never go this smoothly. Will do little messages as you requested. Tomorrow will be a bigger challenge as back at work much love. I bless you jennifree
I’m a fourth generation Leither my mum and dad are from fort street and Bangor road and I staying for a while in academy street 😁
Thank you Diane! day 8 on my evening routine here....always basic 4 + 1 bonus steps (hot spot/prepare for bed-make-up off etc/lay out outfit/go to bed decent hour + shiny sink).....at the end of this second week I shall add another step, that I used to do a long time ago (and you do too) prepare morning breakfast table...Not doing more than this as my main focus while my decluttering is going on...take care!!
Slow and steady will get you there, Blue Jay!
I love how you set out the most beautiful outfits each evening, with jewelry and vests. I'm envious. I work on my little farm every day and my clothing has to consist of overalls, and mens long sleeve button down shirts to protect me from the sun and the dirt. Yuck. I wish I could look so nice as you. At least I put my make-up on though. That makes me feel pretty.
+Nancy Sahrakar Yes, anything that makes *you* feel good!
I don't like mornings, that's a problem. When I was married my ex woke up at 6 AM to get to work. I should have made him breakfast? I did not know what I was doing.
