What are you looking for?

๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿคฉ๐ŸŽฅ In today's YouTube video... How did you find me? Flylady, winterswimming, Dressing Your Truth, hygge lifestyle, something completely different? Taking a fun look at my first ever "shine your sink, Flylady system" video on YouTube from 2016 ๐Ÿ’ฆ Does anyone remember it? ๐Ÿ˜Plus a run through of my catchphrases. Join me for a hygge chat across the kitchen table here in sizzling hot Denmark (heatwave is back)! Thank you for your continued support! And remember to leave a comment on the YouTube video and let me know how (and when) you found me!  You can watch the video by tapping on my Instagram story, use the link in my bio or here! ๐Ÿ‘‡ Ready for a Sunday reset? ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Š Often it's the small things that bring us a sense of calm and joy: simple routines! ๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿ‘•๐Ÿ‘– Outfit of the day: ready for tomorrow! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿคฉ Heatwave in Copenhagen so keeping it very simple and cool this week ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Necklace is homemade: I used a piece of gold chain and one pink tassel/gold hoop earring (the earrings were too big for my pixie ears) ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿ“ฟ Do you do plan for fun in your week? ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿคฉ A walk with a friend, exercise class with a colleague, picnic with a neighbour, weekend jaunt with your Other Half? Part of my Flylady weekly planning (Tuesday = Plan and Play) is taking a minute to plan some fun for me/the family - we all need something to look forward to! โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ—“๐Ÿฅณ With busy lives, it's all too easy to get caught up with the hustle and bustle... I needed a little boost this week and I get that in spades when I'm together with my fab friend @erikabirch_artanddesign (a.k.a. Erika from America)! She's also a fantastic business sparring partner (we both run small businesses). We caught up over a quick picnic lunch ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿฅ— and, of course, a couple of dips in the sea (heatwave has returned to Denmark)! ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ (Oh, and we're both 55 years old, Copenhagen Bluetits and Dressing Your Truth Type 1s! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜) Plan some fun, keep your friends on your radar! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ’– And if you can't meet physically, send a text or email! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘—๐Ÿ‘”๐Ÿ‘– Do you have a capsule wardrobe? I love that my capsule works keeps me covered through all 4 seasons! ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ And that many of my wardrobe items are hand-me-downs or several years old. No need to spend, spend, spend! ๐Ÿ˜โ™ป๏ธ In today's YouTube video, a round-up of what Iโ€™m wearing this week - the heatwave has returned! ๐Ÿ”ฅ Do you look out your outfit the day before? I usually choose my outfit the day before, when Iโ€™m putting away the dayโ€™s laundry. It gives me the time to be creative with my outfits (so I wear everything I own instead of always grabbing the same things) and then I can hit the ground running in the morning, no faffing around. When Iโ€™m โ€œdressed for the dayโ€, I feel happier and am more productive! Being dressed and ready for action is an important part of the Flylady system.๐ŸŽฅ You can see the video by tapping my Instagram Story, use the link in my Bio, or here!  https://youtu.be/lpmi5Lybh7Y ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ‘— ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿซ– Woo hoo, it's Kitchen Week! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ˜ Giving a little extra love to the heart of the home...are you joining us? ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿณ๐Ÿก Set your timer for 5 or 10 minutes and see how much cleaning and decluttering you can do when you focus! โฐ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ƒ I aim to do 15 minutes at the beginning of the week, then any extra minutes are a bonus ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช Tonight, after dinner ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿฅ— I'll use my 'scrubby' cloth to remove the tanin from our tea mugs and give my sink a deep scrub ๐ŸŒŸ In decluttering news, my son said he'll take our espresso pot (we no longer use it, preferring tea in the afternoon/evening) and one of the chili plants (I have two) for his balcony ๐ŸŒถ๐ŸŒถ๐ŸŒถ Yay! Plus I'm decluttering a tiny salt & pepper set (used for picnics, in a previous life ๐Ÿ˜„) is going into my box for our next Swap Party. Go me! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ“ฆ๐Ÿ“ฆ Remember! We are making progress, we don't need to do it ALL this week - my lists are suggestions ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿงน Add hygge while you work (listen to music, chat to a friend on the phone, make yourself a nice cuppa tea or coffee) and add some hygge to your kitchen space! No need to buy anything, you can "shop your house": take a vase/candle/cushion/plant etc from another room. For me, these are the little things that bring me joy when I'm tidying up the kitchen after dinner ๐Ÿชด๐Ÿ•ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’– What will YOU clean or declutter today?? Edited to add: yet another account impersonating me https://instagram.com/olamilekanomobol?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= โš ๏ธโš ๏ธ ๐ŸŒ Do you like to buy souvenirs as gifts? Food, trinkets, something else? ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿคฉ Woo hoo, the gang is finally back together! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐโ˜€๏ธ First time we've ALL been able to meet for our skinnydip seaswim and bike ride since we went off on vacation (at different times) ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿšฒ I brought back Baci sweets from Venice ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น for Vibeke and Helene ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ and Vibeke brought us Genovese pesto and pistachio chocs from Portofino ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Yum! ๐Ÿ˜‹ We always buy each other clutter-free souvenirs...usually always edible! ๐Ÿ˜„ Was so excited to see the girls that I completely forgot to take a sea photo so here's one from another day ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ What's for dinner at your house? New recipe, family favourite? ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿฒ ๐Ÿฅฃ๐Ÿฅ—Tuesday is Flylady "Plan and Play " (set your timer for 15 minutes and go!) I plan our weekly menu, look ahead in the diary to see what's ahead, pay any bills which are due and plan a little fun! โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ I never menu planned before using the Flylady system (thought I could wing it ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜‚) but it saves so much stress and money (and less food waste ๐Ÿ˜‰). I keep a list of easy dinners/family faves and then add in something new each week. (Check your fridge to see what needs used up!) Last week we had mussels (cooked in the Instant Pot), Pad Thai, panko chicken breasts... See today's blogpost for a full rundown of our menu for this coming week! https://dianedenmark.com/2022/08/09/whats-for-dinner-menu-plan-9-august-2022/
