What are you looking for?

👋🤩 What would you be tempted to buy, for yourself or as a gift? 🎁 More photos from our 24 hour girls road trip (to our Swedish summerhouse 🏡🌊) and I just had to show Sue and Erika @erikabirch_artanddesign my favourite Swedish small store 😍 The owner is so sweet and knowledge! @thirase We may have bought quite a few gifts 😁 🎁🎁🎁🎁 And just look at these fabulous retro bathing rings...my fave is the dark blue ⚓️🌊🌊🌊🌊 In the end I bought (another) hammam towel for myself (Grecian blue, same as I bought for Vibeke's birthday) as an early birthday gift to myself 😄 plus, of course, some of my favourite Maison Belle cleaning sprays for the summerhouse...skoosh, skoosh! 💦🧹 @maison_belle_dk More fun on our "24 hour mini midsummer" trip to Sweden with Sue and Erika! @erikabirch_artanddesign 🤩🇸🇪⛵️⛵️⛵️ Delicious lunch at Abbekås harbour on the south coast of Sweden! ⚓️🇸🇪 Hubby and I were here at Easter and I wanted to share this wonderful place with my friends 😁 Couldn't manage a dessert so we bought cakes from their bakery to have as our "fika" later. Yum! @bongskahuset "Bongskahuset" Are you celebrating the summer solstice?☀️ Have brought two of my very favourite people to my very favourite place! 🇸🇪👋🤩 Happy summer solstice from the south coast of Sweden! Erika and Sue are here with me at our summerhouse 🏡 😍 Leisurely alfresco dinner in the garden followed by a walk to the harbour along the beach 🐚🌊 Crystal clear sea for our skinnydip, we were the only ones on the beach at 11.45pm! 😍🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️💦 Going to sleep like logs tonight 🏡😴💤 Sweet dreams! More fun and adventures tomorrow! 👋🤩 Have you ever attended a Swap Party? 📚👗🥗 Join us for some hygge here in wonderful Copenhagen! 🇩🇰🏡😃 Guaranteed fun for you in today's YouTube video! Another chance to meet my friends at a Declutter and Swap Party! I love these ladies and love our Zero Waste exchanges. And you know that the food is guaranteed to be good (see Vibeke's beautiful quinoa salad topped with fresh flowers...)! 🥗🌸🌸🌸 Stay tuned to the end to see what I brought home with me! 👖🎥 You can see the video by tapping on my Instagram Stories, use the link in my Bio or here https://youtu.be/Ayn8j08J-2M 🛌 I'm not going to lie, I really wasn't feeling like doing my Flylady Zone 4 work but, hey ho, I set my timer for 15 minutes, got on with it (recorded it! 🎥🎥🎥) and, woo hoo, I ended up with two HUGE bags of donations! 😂 Go me! 💪💪💪You can watch the video, which includes hygge tips (and join me in decluttering or cleaning!!!) by tapping on my Instagram Stories, use the link in my Bio or here https://youtu.be/iRyvnqZ4FIU Let's go! What are you decluttering or cleaning today? 🧹💦🏡💖 I've decluttered bedding and gone through a dresser (the one from my Dearly-departed-Danish-father-in-law) in the guest bedroom. The power of 15 minutes! 🙌😍 🧹🛒📚👩‍💻🧖‍♀️ Are you ready for a productive week? 😃 Well, the easiest way to achieve that is actually having a plan! 👏😄 (As I always say, a little bit of planning goes a long way...) I love the Flylady system to keep me on track with housekeeping and worklife 🏡✍️ And the Daily Focus idea, a weekly plan, is one of the cornerstones! I always urge my coaching clients to add structure but with FLEXIBILITY. Don't get too hung up on having set days...move them around to suit you, your family, your schedule! Perhaps every week will look the same for you, perhaps every week will be different. That's okay! By having a plan, we can keep the basics covered! 🧹🛒📚👩‍💻🧖‍♀️ Do you use the Daily Focus, has it been helpful? 😃 I love that I'm not constantly thinking of all the things that need done: there is a time and place in my weekly plan! (And when I've got postmenopausal mush brain or feel overwhelmed, I can consult my list when I lose the plot 😅) 👋🤩 How was your weekend? Relaxing, productive, a bit of both? Hubby and I spent a couple of (gloriously) quiet days at our Swedish cabin 🇸🇪🏡🌊😍 Gardening, reading our books (my favourite genre is cozy mysteries and I thoroughly enjoyed the latest from Elly Griffiths, one of my favourite authors, which was set during Lockdown ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📚), cleaning the two guest cabins 🧹🧼 and, of course, swimming from our fabulous new bathing bridge! 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🌊 Weather was hot and sunny Saturday 🌴🍹☀️☀️☀️ then torrential rain all of Sunday! ⛈️⛈️⛈️ Great weather for ducks! ☔️⛈️🦆⛈️☔️😄 Feeling rested, recharged and ready for a productive week 💪💪💪😃 😭 Alas and alack, my bone china cup is no more! 💥 I think I was more upset than Vibeke when my cup finally broke! 😄 (The cups belonged to Vibeke's dearly-departed-Danish-mother, random cups which didn't belong to a set 🫖☕️☕️☕️) But, as Vibeke said, these random cups have had a long and purposeful life! Used daily for our jaunts to the sea since, if I remember correctly, 2018? Upwards and onwards! Let's see what my next teacup will be 😉 EDITED TO ADD: I don't want to fix the teacup: it was to be used joyfully by the sea, not kept forever 🌊😊 And what am I going to do with the broken teacup? I'm going to use it as drainage in one of my garden pots: love to recycle! 😄♻️🏡🌸 But we enjoyed our skinnydip seaswim and lunch nonetheless (Vibeke had ryebread, I had leftover Coronation Chicken 🎥 recipe video on my YouTube channel https://youtu.be/FFF6SQ8TXoM ). Sea 16c/61f air around the same 👋🤩 Can you find three items to declutter from your bathroom? Right now?! Unused toiletries, dead plants, expired medicine... 🚽🧼🚿 Or clutter from another area in Flylady Zone 3?👋😁 We're working on our making our homes clean and cosy! 🏡 Just do a few minutes when you can: it all adds up! In Monday's video I did a "declutter with me" of craft items from our basement 💪🤩 Yesterday I decluttered one more chair (woo hoo, a pair! 🪑🪑) plus wire storage baskets and a set of towels 💦 and delivered them this morning to my Scottish friend Karren who needed them for refugee families. Can you declutter more than three items? ✅️✅️✅️ You get bonus points! 😅 Nothing to declutter? Shine the bathroom sink, wipe the windows, check supplies (toilet paper, toothpaste, etc) and add a bit of hygge: a fresh bloom or a candle (no need to buy anything, "shop your home" and move things around for a fresh feel) 🌸🕯 I love to have LED fairy lights around the bathtub 🛀 and use a couple of drops of essential oils in the shower in the morning 🚿😃💖 So, what will you declutter or clean today? And let's remember a few minutes of self-care!
