What are you looking for?

Guess what, we've just had another Swap Party! πŸ‘‹πŸ€© Have you ever attended or hosted a party? Craft items, kids' clothes, sports equipment, kitchenware, books - you name it, me and my friends swap it! πŸ“šπŸ‘—πŸ₯— Lots of zero waste hygge here in wonderful Copenhagen! And there's always good food and drink! πŸ˜ƒπŸ‡©πŸ‡°πŸ‘πŸ₯—πŸŒΈ In today's video you can see the party plus I'm trying on the clothing items I brought home. You can also see what else I picked up...books and home furnishings! πŸ“šπŸŽ₯ You can watch the video by tapping on my Instagram Stories, use the link in my Bio or here https://youtu.be/aL-j1t49Lz4 πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ ΏπŸ‡©πŸ‡° Are you ready for the weekend? 🀯 It's been a crazy week, everyone seems to be in a bit of a funk but, yay, Friday is here: start up the band! 🎺πŸ₯πŸ˜„ Friday in Flylady Land is tidy out car/handbag and Date Night. Got my Evening Routine done (πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ😁) and my gear is all set for tomorrow: World Bluetit Chill Swimmers Day! πŸŒŽπŸŒπŸŒπŸŠβ€β™‚οΈπŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸŠβ€β™‚οΈπŸŠβ€β™‚οΈπŸ¦πŸ¦πŸ€© Scottish and Danish flags packed πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ ΏπŸ‡©πŸ‡°πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ ΏπŸ‡©πŸ‡°πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ ΏπŸ‡©πŸ‡°πŸ¦ Are you checking off your list? βœ…οΈβœ…οΈβœ…οΈ Kitchen closed, fresh teatowel and handtowel out, coffeemaker and breakfast table set up ⭐️ And now for a very large glass of wine and diving head first into our weekend snack basket 🍷🍷🍫🍫 Enjoy your evening! πŸ‘πŸ€© πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Are you wearing anything on your head today? β˜”οΈπŸ‡©πŸ‡° Happy Friday from very wet and cold Copenhagen where we're making our own sunshine! πŸ€©πŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸš²πŸš²β˜”οΈβ˜”οΈ Got caught in the rain on our bike ride to the sea but we were all prepared for our skinnydip seaswim in the pouring rain...Vibeke with her souwester and me with a (clean) rubbish bag on my head! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚β˜”οΈ My Granny in Scotland always used to do the same when it rained! πŸ‘΅β˜”οΈ And she would always turn shopping bags inside out because she refused to be an advert for stores πŸ’ͺShe was a cool lady! 😍 Every day is a special occasion...make your own sunshine if necessary! πŸ€©β˜€οΈ Sea 15/59f air 10c/50f β˜”οΈβ˜”οΈβ˜”οΈπŸπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸ‡©πŸ‡° Woo hoo, it's Livingroom week in Flylady Land (Zone 5) - where we focus our energy this week! πŸ₯³ Go find 3 items to declutter! ❎️❎️❎️ Newspapers you meant to read but didn't get round to, library books which need returned, spent candles, boardgames you don't enjoy? 🎲 Sometimes we get so used to being in this room that we don't notice what's in front of us πŸ˜„ (I find it useful to take a photo, helps to see the space with a fresh eye) πŸ“Έ Set a timer for 5 or 10 minutes and start! ⏰️ On Tuesday I worked in one cupboard (found old piano notes for paper recycling ♻️ and some sheet music/piano books to pass on to a friend πŸ“š ) On Wednesday I cleared two whole shelves of the bookcase, old CDs (found lots to declutter plus taking a bag of CDs, music memorabilia to a dealer who gives cash or credit 🎸) And today, Thursday, I finally said goodbye to an old plant πŸͺ΄ 😁 It's had a long good life but has been withering away these past few weeks despite repeated attempts to revive it. Today was the day! πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺPlus two very old random remote controls! πŸ˜… What can you find? Nothing to declutter? Spend 10 minutes cleaning! πŸ§ΉπŸ’¦ I shall be cheering you on with my pom poms! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ Come back and let us know what you did! Are you checking off your list today? βœ…οΈβœ…οΈβœ…οΈ Feels good! Rah, rah, rah! πŸ₯³Kitchen closed, fresh teatowel and handtowel out, coffeemaker and breakfast table set up, outfit ready for tomorrow ⭐️ We've got the kettle on for a big pot of our favourite brew πŸ«–β˜•οΈβ˜•οΈ and I'm looking forward to another episode of Shakespeare and Hathaway on the TV (my current binge)! πŸ“Ί So terribly cheesey πŸ˜πŸ§€ but it does make me laugh and I LOVE Lu's outfits and whole persona, not forgetting her fluffy pom pom pens! πŸ˜…πŸŽ€πŸ‘’πŸ‘— Anyone else watch it? Are you a black pudding fan? 🍳πŸ₯—πŸ˜ Happy Wednesday = Anti-Procrastination day in Flylady Land (pick a day of the week that suits YOU)! πŸ‘πŸ˜ Set a timer for 10-15 minutes and do something you've been putting off (phone call to the doctor, paying a bill, small repairs, removing nasties from the fridge). It's usually not as bad as you think! πŸ˜πŸŽ‰ On Wednesdays I wipe off a shelf or drawer in the fridge. That stops it from building up and being a nasty task! 🀩 At the moment we're eating our way through the contents of our basement freezer (will no longer use it => save electricity πŸ‘πŸ˜πŸ’°βš‘οΈβš‘οΈ) Currently eating Irish black pudding. Yum! Ate it (as usual) for breakfast with eggs, but also made a hash for dinner: fried leftover potatoes, onions, apples (from our garden 🍏🌳) and savoy cabbage, then topped with a fried egg πŸ₯¬πŸ³πŸ§… Plenty of brown sauce and pickled beetroot. Delicious! πŸ˜‹ Perhaps you've been procrastinating on looking after yourself? Doesn't need to cost money or take a lot of time or effort, said the Canny Scot! πŸ˜‰πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ Just do something nice for you! Light a candle while you take your morning shower πŸšΏπŸ•― try a new hot or cold drink β˜•πŸ΅πŸΉ watch the rain for a few minutes! β˜” I'm using my handcream (a gift from my Bestie, Vibeke) and a quick skoosh skoosh of my favourite perfume πŸ₯° If you need inspiration, there are pamper/self-preservation ideas on my blog https://DianeDenmark.com πŸ‘πŸ˜ƒπŸ’– What are you going to do today? Eat black pudding?! Or take a few minutes to "just be"? πŸ’– 🍁🌊 Guess who's back in the water? My Bestie, Vibeke! πŸ‘πŸ˜πŸ’–πŸ‡©πŸ‡° She had to take a break from dipping because she fell and broke her arm a couple of weeks ago. Normal service has been resumed, woo hoo! πŸ€©πŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸ Very blustery and rather nippy, but thankfully the stinky seaweed seems to be shifting 🌾🍁 Tea, as always, in our bone china teacups πŸ«–β˜•οΈβ˜•οΈ Every day is a special occasion! πŸ€©β˜€οΈ Sea 15/58f, air 10c/50f πŸπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸ‡©πŸ‡° Anyone else cleaning by candlelight tonight? 😁 Or are you overwhelmed with the state of your house and don't know where to start? 😱 Help is here! πŸ‘‹πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ§ΉπŸ’¦ With a quick clean of the main traffic areas (NOT the whole house), you'll quickly be back on track! πŸ’ͺ🀩 Set your timer and grab a glass of water. Do 5 to 10 minutes on each task, keep moving forward! Max one hour ⏲️ (Many tasks can be done in 5 minutes) What's your favourite part? Mine is vacuuming! 😁 I listen to my fave songs or an audiobook while I work 🎧🎡 but I've plenty of "clean with me" videos if you want me to hold your hand (see YouTube playlist below) 🎬 It's Tuesday and I cleaned after dinner tonight 🧹 It's already dark in Copenhagen by 7pm now πŸ‡©πŸ‡° but it's hyggelig to clean by candlelight! πŸ•―πŸ•―πŸ•―πŸ‘πŸ˜ Is it dark where you are? πŸŒ› Do you get seasonal depression? How do you deal with it? β„οΈπŸπŸ‡©πŸ‡° When I first moved to Scandinavia over 22 years ago, the winter blues hit me hard 😭 The darkness descended over me like a blanket and was hard to shake off. Since then, I’ve learned a lot and no longer suffer from SAD (seasonal affective disorder)! πŸ‘πŸ€© In today’s YouTube video, I’m sharing the simple mental health and exercise plan I use to avoid the seasonal blues! Bonus: my plan is brimming with hygge! πŸ˜„πŸ’–πŸ‡©πŸ‡°πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’¨πŸŽ¬
