Diane YOU add Hygge to my life. So many things you say make me giggle out loud. I have learned so much from you. Travel, clothing, cleaning, cooking, family, self preservation, and especially trying to get my "perfectionism" from holding me back. At first Watching ur cleaning I would think ...you should start here not there . and how do things get clean when not moving every little thing and thoroughly..lol. Your home is proof it works. Beautiful and peaceful. Well like you say everything gets done. Consistancy and not obsessing is key. I'm in my 50's and you really energize me and are helping me to become more confident. Also here in Ohio USA, our weather seems to be similar . Your saying "no bad clothing just inappropriate clothing " Threw out all my excuses for not getting out to walk. . Thx for all.
Thank you for the hygge inspirtion!!I added a new treasure to my hyyge collection..fountain cola scented melts from bath&body works for my scentsy pot ...this scent takes me back to my childhood drinking coke a cola at my Mamaw&Papaws...Love your hyygley mindset!!!Love your delightful energy!!!Lovely flowers🌼🌻💐🏵🌹🌺
Every day I’m looking for special moments that just make my day, a photo new of my baby granddaughter she’s 3 weeks old - bees enjoying the warm sunshine on the lavender in the garden, a lovely coffee with my husband in town, thank you Diane and enjoy your weekend .
As always thank you Diane You look lovely in the Green You too have a lovely weekend I want to say again I am so happy I came across your videos God bless you and your family
hi diane, yes those are dahlias and yes they are beautiful. almost every garden has them here in greece and they are simply gorgeous when they bloom. you are so right, once again. the things that fill our soul with joy and serenity are simple, inexpensive, and most, completely free of charge. all we have to do is slow down the pace enough to notice them. i appreciate the fact that you are always reminding us of this. my day always starts off with a cup of coffee and you. as you can see, you are as necessary as coffee! lol!
You are so right about not saving things and go ahead and use them. Life is too short! Love using candles. So cozy! I also bought a fresh bouquet of fall flowers from a local farmstand--brightens the home! Have a wonderful hygge weekend! 🕯📚🎬🍿🍬🍫😊❤
I had the blahs this week, too. I finally started using my timer consistently and for the last two days have gotten so much done around the home! Thank you, Diane, for being you!💗You never tire of repeating all the reminders. I really appreciate that. The hygge videos are interesting. I’m starting to think of hygge things to do for my home and family.🥰 You are gold!
Diane, you will be the (invisible) 10th dinner guest at our home tmrw night! Because, tx to you, I'm hosting a no-stress, end of summer BBQ party🎉. And what will I be doing tomorrow morning? Running around like a crazy woman trying to hide things under the bed and stuff them in closets in preparation for the company? No, not anymore. I will be outside enjoying the sunny backyard, repainting a piece of furniture ☀️😎🏡. I like to remind myself that the flylady system may focus on housework but the byproduct is *more time for me* to do the things I enjoy. Your beloved granny would be *so proud* of you 🤩☺️
@@eileencarroll6418 Thanks! If only I could adequately describe how far I was from this a few months ago 😱😫🙄🤣. And also - a BBQ party means eating casually outside so less perfectionism is involved 😉. Actually less perfectionism is involved in general now, which means, ironically, more things get done. You will get here!!! Come for dinner tomorrow night!
Thursday night: We have a good supply of teas, cocoa , and coffees in. A very early( even for Montana ) snow coming in, with blizzard like conditions expected. The throws, pillows, and flannel sheets, and fuzzy socks will be appreciated. We love the LED flameless candles, too.
Diane, I have been enjoying your videos the past few months. I had a brain tumor removed in January 2019 and for the couple years prior to this I was not really with it. With three young boys and a small farm our house was a disaster. Watching your videos and following your advice, I have been able to improve our household immensely! I have been adding hygge to our lives as well as we live in Maine, USA and it starts to get dark and cold here too the cozy candles etc are greatly appreciated. You are very inspiring and I appreciate your efforts so much! Thank you. LAL
I love your blouse green color it's one of my favorite colors and it looks very fabulous on you 👍👍👍💝💝💝 and I love your simplicity to enjoy your time and I am like you love to be simple so loved flylady , thank you very much for giving me positive energy to enjoy every day by simple things. Love you my friend 💖💖🌹🌹 also I am passion of flowers 💐💐💐🌺🌺🌺
Just want to tell you thank you for emphasizing the importance of routines. My life has been a bit hectic and I see where they have really kept me going. Also I heard you when you said you didn't want to be morbid, but we never know what a day will bring. This is so true. I need to be grateful for every day. I've also heard you say you choose to be cheery. It's intentional. this I really needed to hear because the days are a little bit difficult as well as hectic. So today I cut a few little roses and put them in a teapot and set it on the table. Et voilà ! Found myself smiling and thankful once again. So, thank YOU!
One foot in front of the other ... wonderful .. Good Morning Diane , Looking Pretty in granny’s green ... Emerald green.. Today is Friday 8 November 2019 ... watching ones I missed ... love you and yes I have a timer set .
Diane, your beautiful dahlias remind me of my German grandfather who used to grow them in his assigned garden plot along with a plum tree, carnations, strawberries, rhubarb, onions and lots of other flowers and edibles. I used to love going down to his garden with him to smell the flowers, and weed and care for all his wonderful fruit, veggies and flowers. When I was about six we even found a hedgehog living in his garden and took it upstairs to my grandparent's apartment in a box until my grandmother made us take him back. Your hygge videos evoke fond memories of my childhood in Germany. Thank you!
Love the flowers! I like to have orchids in my house. They are so vibrant and bring extra life to our home. Unplugging is so important for settling the mind and spirit Have a great weekend, everyone!
Thanks to watching your videos with candles, etc., I bought a set of the battery operated candles from Amazon and just love them. I really appreciate and enjoy your uplifting videos. Thank you.
Love the hygee concept. I live in northern Michigan , just north of the 45th parallel. One of the cloudiest states in the Union. Next week, the clocks get changed, so we lose an hour of daylight! I find using a little, portable Blu lite, helps a lot with the 'winter blahs'. it's a little full spectrum light you can just shine on yourself from an angle while you're having morning coffee .For me, sunlight deprivation is a thing. It's just a simple way to wake up the brain on these fall and winter days. Summer is glorious here, fall and spring as well. Winter is more difficult, longer , very cold, with fewer Sunshiny days. Getting outdoors helps. Like snowshoeing. You are crazy brave to jump in the sea every day. I don't know if I could ever do that! Maybe from sauna to snow and back again, we could do.☺️
Hi D, I love the idea of getting prepared for cozy. Cooler nights , dark mornings and falling leaves! It’s great to look forward getting candles ready, pretty flowers, magazines and good moisturizers for our skin! Yay!!! Thank you! Have a great weekend. See you next week!!😍
I love the electric candles on timers. I bought strings of fairy lights on timers at Xmas last year and put them in my living room. Every evening at about 6 last winter they would twinkle on. Magical. such a little thing brings so much pleasure. Also have some remote control candles---easy peasy. Hygge in Connecticut, USA! Love your videos and enthusiasm for life.
When we were raising our 2 children, I made sure every day was memorable. Especially holidays, birthdays, Christmas, and vacations. I wanted our children to have so many very happy memories to look back on. Thank goodness I thought to do this because their Dad passed away 10 1/2 yrs ago. It's so nice, and comforting to be able to look back on all of those wonderful times together
Thank you for all your videos, have been following a loooong time (since about 3k subs lol) and your clips are a breath of fresh air in the mornings. Your honesty is so refreshing and you have no idea how much that helps at times when we have those 'blah' times. I used to post my 'OOTD' and was limited with clothes and colours (cold Scottish winters lol), now I have choices, colours and am practising (and promoting) self care for the first time in over 50 years. Much gratitude Diane x
Have a lovely weekend too. I no longer have to spend all weekend catching up as I used to. So hopefully a walk this weekend and a wee spot of gardening if the glorious weather her continues 😀 x
I found your channel a couple of months ago and I love it. I love learning about the Danish culture. Thank you for sharing. You are very upbeat and cheerful. Have a great weekend!
Have a magical weekend Diane! Love all the hygge . It makes the little things extra special. We have dark winters here too. Dark around 4.00 and not light till 8.00 the next day. I am a winter person. Love the privacy and the coziness 🌻🌻🌻🍄🍄🍄🎃🎃🎃
Have a wonderful weekend 🤗 I love candles!! I have real ones and the two kind of led ones u have. Love the scented ones too!! Love the Danish hygge ❤ your flowers are lovely. I'm going to look for that interesting lighter.
Your videos about hygge are great :) Today I bought a small bunch of flowers and some tealight led candles and they look sweet in the kitchen. Also tonight is the last two episodes of Darkness: Those Who Kill, a Danish crime drama on BBC4, and I have been hooked on it and am looking forward to seeing the conclusion. Have a good weekend :)
Hi Diane, happy Friday!! That's an interesting lighter. The flowers are beautiful. Love your videos. Yes, everyone is getting younger LOL 🤣 Have a great weekend.
Enjoy your “unplugged” weekend,Diane. So glad you are so self-aware and realize when you need to recharge! Taking care of oneself is #1 on the list! Meanwhile, on those days when I feel a bit blah, my morning routine saves me from spiraling into the doldrums. Thank you for that. It’s a bit of a (good) kick in the bahookie! And flowers are my weekly Farmer’s Market purchase here in Northern California. They always make me smile. ❤️
I just found your videos yesterday ☺️ I love them all. Thank you! I’ve started the FlyLady system already. I have some of these candles too. Love your blouse and jacket. 💕
I live in Florida, USA and it was under 80 degrees F this morning so I was able to open a few sliding doors and the front door to change the air. I felt a bit claustrophobic since April/May. I am of Norwegian descent and understand the concept of "koselig". Missing my mom and grandmother, but like to keep traditions alive.
Terry Lucente I also live in Florida and it was 71 degrees when I got up at 6:30! So I also opened the sliders to let in some fresh air. Just another month or so and we will be able to do that every morning. Can’t wait!
Also from FL - near Orlando. So weary of the heat and humidity from this summer. It seemed brutal this year. I’m working on making our RV cozy and cuddly for our trip to see the leaves in Virginia and Tennessee this Fall. Of course we only use the battery powered candles and I may have gone overboard a little. 😁
Hi Diane, I am new to your channel and I have been binge watching your videos, you inspire me so much, i am learning a lot. I love all of them.Thank you so much from Canada
So I put out my Fall decor this past week. I have like 6 pieces for candles and glass pumpkins. Tonight I’m making boller i karry from your recipe! Adds so much food hygge in the Fall. My family absolutely loves it. 💕
8:45 am and 3° Celsius here in Logan Utah. We only moved here for school and unfortunately were moving to a slightly colder town for my husband to teach at a university. I was raised in Houston and the Middle East, I'm not built for cold weather 😭
We love the flameless candles pillars too for our long Montana winters. The remote is very handy. I have a set of tapers that are very realistic. . Mine are dressed up for Halloween right now. We have five glorious David Austin roses bushes that are still blooming, so I like to go out in the morning and cut myself some fresh flowers to have with my morning coffee. I must finish up the rest of the downstairs bath this morning and plant iris.
Awwww Love your Granny too; she had great taste in kelley green and crystal jewelry. 46F burr, it's our first cool morning here too at 63F. We finally turned off our AC this am so we will see. It was 83F here yesterday! Happy Hygge💜🙋♀️ P.S. I LOVE Dahlias, but fresh flowers are so expensive here, like 3$ per flower, it seems. Won't keep me from looking for them at a great price, though😊
I enjoy learning something every time I watch you. I have a couple of the rechargeable lighters and am a big fan. I too have several battery operated candles and really should invest in recharging batteries - though I do recycle the dead ones. Tomorrow I get a washer and dryer delivered so guess what I’ll be doing Sunday! (Getting laundry caught up since my washer stopped working a few weeks ago.) Have a great time disconnecting!
Beautiful green blouse. I too am pulling out my candles Converted to timers. I keep a yankee candle in kitchen. I think it’s apple pumpkin, smells like fall. I like your lighter, I’ll check amazon. Looks easier than the other ones. Have a great weekend. Happy reading.
I bought a bunch of LED tea light candles last year and they look very real when I put them in the right candle holders. I also have a bunch of large LED candles. Love them so much. I’m going to spend the weekend making things hyggeligt :D
I adore you, such a sweet person with great advice! I have the bad habit of saving things for a special occasion, but tomorrow is not guaranteed. I needed this 🤗
Hello Diane, am a Puerto Rican born and raised in NYC! I say that because I have been practicing hygge for yrs without realizing it was a cultural thing somewhere. I do believe that taking care of my mind, and spirit is important and my husband and I always try simple and beautiful ways of living our daily life, granted it’s not that easy to do when life gets in the way, but I feel that’s when we need hygge the most. Tfs. Diana Romero
Hi Diane, happy Friday!! That's a fascinating lighter. The flowers are beautiful. Enjoyed today's video. That colour green really suits you. May the Danish sugar (hygge) be with you also!
You translated to Fahrenheit. It didn't go unnoticed nor unappreciated. The burden of being a world-wide celebrity! Because of you I now know three names for french toast.(early video....you were traveling the orient express/ordering room service and had us all packing for our excursion).
I'm watching the video at 1.75 speed so I can get through my 1,100 videos in my Watch list faster. It's so funny with the fast speaking! The flickering LED candle looks awesome!
I have a rechargeable tazer to light my candles as well, because I got fed up burning the tips of my fingers. 😂 Sending happy thoughts, be good to yourself.xx
I’m sorry you had the case of the bla’s the day you filmed this. It sounds like you lost a friend or friends. I want you to know I’m sending you hugs and hope you can feel them all the way in Denmark. I also want you to know I appreciate you and my favorite new word is hygge or hyggely. 🤗
Thank you Diane for your videos. My house hasn't looked this clean in years. I've been doing the Flylady System for a few weeks now. Having spent some weeks reading about the system on flylady.net, your videos inspired me to get off my bahookie. Setting the timer really encourages me! I've been doing some of the baby steps for a while, and have done 2 weekly home blessings so far but this week was my first time to get stuck into a zone. The bathroom looks great. I can still see some jobs I didn't get to the light and the vent or the window but the room is so much cleaner! Even a reluctant cleaner like me can do 15 minutes. Thank you so much for your energetic, motivating videos. I even looked up "bahookie" on lexico.com and was delighted to see it there! From Edel in Ireland
Thanks for the lovely video. We also have a candle light breakfast now its getting darker in the morning ( reminds me of madamme bouquet and her candle light suppers😂) we are in full autumn hygge mode! But this weekend it’s going to be 25 degrees in Holland....an indian summer....
Such great ideas to bring hygge into the home! One thing I'm finally realizing in following the Flylady program is that the reason it doesn't have to be perfect is because each time a clean an area, no matter how little time I put in to it, it's like getting compound interest into a savings account. Everything I do will make the area that much shinier, cleaner, tidier and easier to clean next time. One question: how do you tackle projects which may take longer than expected? For example, yesterday I was finally changing a light bulb in a ceiling fan which required removing the glass covering (two person job replacing it). After replacing the bulb I realized the light was really enhancing the sparkle dust bunnies on the blades, a job my DH does. I, of course, cleaned up what I could but the covering etc... is put away until the weekend when he can get to it. Could you perhaps touch on some jobs which may take longer than expected? Enjoy your unplugged weekend!
Dear fairy huggly Diane! you are such a lovely presence always....Love the green and the necklace! I did not understand how you can use a timer with the battery operated candles? or are they special candles that have a timer in them? I would love that! I bought on amazon a light that switched on when I pass in certain spaces, so that I do not have to turn on harsh lights in the evenings or at night when I have to go the bathroom in the middle of the night. I love them and it also makes me feel a sort of huggly presence, as if I am not alone. I am really bad about allowing myself any self preservation as you call it :-)
Thanks for these motivational videos! Love that you take the time to unplug! I need to do that! If you do another challenge, that might be a nice one: unplug for a weekend, unplug of a day, and/or unplug for the morning or evening. That would help me to start doing my word search books. I like how Rachelleea here on RUclips did word searches in the afternoon in her video Friday Afternoon Routine.
So excited at the end. Wanted to ask you do you do routines on holiday? And is there a difference if the holiday is away or at home. Obviously self catering, would be more routine possible. I suppose want to know is there a time in the year you are stepping back from routines ?
Hi Diane, okay here I am a ShAM ok 👍 I have brought a baby 👶 to this world (2 months ago) and recovered and have also shifted apartment about less then a month ago . I have lots and lots of stuff everywhere which I need all of it. I have been working like a banshe and shouting and screaming at my kids which isn’t what I want . I know my house can never be perfect and HW never finishes pls help me to get started. Where do I start from? I don’t take out the clothes the night bcoz I don’t think I have nice clothes to wear 🤨
Start with the 31 days of babysteps, so you build simple daily routines 👋 And see my Flylady Refresher Course! ruclips.net/p/PLxIYCyTLBED-1vdMwaAhm7Z_3Br__gals
You can find more videos about hygge, my life in Denmark and travel to faraway places here ruclips.net/p/PLxIYCyTLBED_P4L-PIj6cNRC2m1Mg3Nbd
Diane YOU add Hygge to my life. So many things you say make me giggle out loud. I have learned so much from you. Travel, clothing, cleaning, cooking, family, self preservation, and especially trying to get my "perfectionism" from holding me back.

Yes, we really have no excuse not to enjoy life in all its varieties! 👋🤗
You are so generous with your time. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Thank you for the hygge inspirtion!!I added a new treasure to my hyyge collection..fountain cola scented melts from bath&body works for my scentsy pot ...this scent takes me back to my childhood drinking coke a cola at my Mamaw&Papaws...Love your hyygley mindset!!!Love your delightful energy!!!Lovely flowers🌼🌻💐🏵🌹🌺

Everyday is special
Thank you for all you do for us. Have a wonderful weekend!
Love the birds
I live in Florida, USA and it was under 80 degrees F this morning so I was able to open a few sliding doors and the front door to change the air. I felt a bit claustrophobic since April/May. I am of Norwegian descent and understand the concept of "koselig". Missing my mom and grandmother, but like to keep traditions alive.
Terry Lucente I also live in Florida and it was 71 degrees when I got up at 6:30! So I also opened the sliders to let in some fresh air. Just another month or so and we will be able to do that every morning. Can’t wait!
Koselig 😂 sounds very hyggelig! Or gezellig like we say in The Netherlands. I think the english word cozy comes from koselig 🤔 so funny
Terry Lucente The high here in West Central FL was 86 yesterday!!! Tomorrow it jumps back into the 90’s but it was a nice break.
Also from FL - near Orlando. So weary of the heat and humidity from this summer. It seemed brutal this year. I’m working on making our RV cozy and cuddly for our trip to see the leaves in Virginia and Tennessee this Fall. Of course we only use the battery powered candles and I may have gone overboard a little. 😁
I’m in Central FL too (near Winter Haven), and the day of cooler temps was fantastic!
Hi Diane, I am new to your channel and I have been binge watching your videos, you inspire me so much, i am learning a lot. I love all of them.Thank you so much from Canada
So I put out my Fall decor this past week. I have like 6 pieces for candles and glass pumpkins. Tonight I’m making boller i karry from your recipe! Adds so much food hygge in the Fall. My family absolutely loves it. 💕
Love the video. All the little things make me happy.
It's still 80° here in the midwest, but oh, so rainy! In two weeks, we could have snow; you never know!
8:45 am and 3° Celsius here in Logan Utah. We only moved here for school and unfortunately were moving to a slightly colder town for my husband to teach at a university. I was raised in Houston and the Middle East, I'm not built for cold weather 😭
We love the flameless candles pillars too for our long Montana winters. The remote is very handy. I have a set of tapers that are very realistic. . Mine are dressed up for Halloween right now. We have five glorious David Austin roses bushes that are still blooming, so I like to go out in the morning and cut myself some fresh flowers to have with my morning coffee. I must finish up the rest of the downstairs bath this morning and plant iris.
Awwww Love your Granny too; she had great taste in kelley green and crystal jewelry.
46F burr, it's our first cool morning here too at 63F. We finally turned off our AC this am so we will see. It was 83F here yesterday!
Happy Hygge💜🙋♀️
P.S. I LOVE Dahlias, but fresh flowers are so expensive here, like 3$ per flower, it seems. Won't keep me from looking for them at a great price, though😊
Enjoy your cooler temps, Julie...we have the heating turned right up! 😃
I enjoy learning something every time I watch you. I have a couple of the rechargeable lighters and am a big fan. I too have several battery operated candles and really should invest in recharging batteries - though I do recycle the dead ones. Tomorrow I get a washer and dryer delivered so guess what I’ll be doing Sunday! (Getting laundry caught up since my washer stopped working a few weeks ago.) Have a great time disconnecting!
Beautiful green blouse. I too am pulling out my candles Converted to timers. I keep a yankee candle in kitchen. I think it’s apple pumpkin, smells like fall. I like your lighter, I’ll check amazon. Looks easier than the other ones. Have a great weekend. Happy reading.
I bought a bunch of LED tea light candles last year and they look very real when I put them in the right candle holders. I also have a bunch of large LED candles. Love them so much. I’m going to spend the weekend making things hyggeligt :D
How funny! I was just taking the batteries out of my IKEA led candles to charge up ready for the evening and saw your new video pop up.
Love ya, Diane. Have a great weekend!
I adore you, such a sweet person with great advice!
I have the bad habit of saving things for a special occasion, but tomorrow is not guaranteed. I needed this 🤗
Tweet and Sparky made me smile today. 😁 Lovely background music. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Also, the green top makes your complexion look warm, lively and lovely. Friday is now hygge day and date night. Have a very hygge weekend. 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
Hello Diane, am a Puerto Rican born and raised in NYC! I say that because I have been practicing hygge for yrs without realizing it was a cultural thing somewhere. I do believe that taking care of my mind, and spirit is important and my husband and I always try simple and beautiful ways of living our daily life, granted it’s not that easy to do when life gets in the way, but I feel that’s when we need hygge the most. Tfs. Diana Romero
I love the candles outside with a timer. It gets dark early here in Orkney too.
Hi Diane, happy Friday!! That's a fascinating lighter. The flowers are beautiful. Enjoyed today's video. That colour green really suits you. May the Danish sugar (hygge) be with you also!
I signed up for a watercolor monthly box in the US. Looking forward to painting for hygge. Starting to get food here in CT.
alyssa rosengard Awesome! Where did you find that?
Autumn Spring it’s called Let’s Make Art
You translated to Fahrenheit. It didn't go unnoticed nor unappreciated. The burden of being a world-wide celebrity! Because of you I now know three names for french toast.(early video....you were traveling the orient express/ordering room service and had us all packing for our excursion).
I'm watching the video at 1.75 speed so I can get through my 1,100 videos in my Watch list faster. It's so funny with the fast speaking! The flickering LED candle looks awesome!
Great ideas! I'm going to get out my candles now!
Love the necklace! I have a similar one from my granny! I love them!!
Have a wonderful weekend xx 😘
I have a rechargeable tazer to light my candles as well, because I got fed up burning the tips of my fingers. 😂 Sending happy thoughts, be good to yourself.xx
I’m sorry you had the case of the bla’s the day you filmed this. It sounds like you lost a friend or friends. I want you to know I’m sending you hugs and hope you can feel them all the way in Denmark. I also want you to know I appreciate you and my favorite new word is hygge or hyggely. 🤗
Thank you Diane for your videos. My house hasn't looked this clean in years. I've been doing the Flylady System for a few weeks now. Having spent some weeks reading about the system on flylady.net, your videos inspired me to get off my bahookie. Setting the timer really encourages me! I've been doing some of the baby steps for a while, and have done 2 weekly home blessings so far but this week was my first time to get stuck into a zone. The bathroom looks great. I can still see some jobs I didn't get to the light and the vent or the window but the room is so much cleaner! Even a reluctant cleaner like me can do 15 minutes. Thank you so much for your energetic, motivating videos. I even looked up "bahookie" on lexico.com and was delighted to see it there! From Edel in Ireland
Ooooooo, I love these kinds of comments, Edel - thanks for letting me know! 🎉🎉🎉😃👋
Thanks for the lovely video. We also have a candle light breakfast now its getting darker in the morning ( reminds me of madamme bouquet and her candle light suppers😂) we are in full autumn hygge mode! But this weekend it’s going to be 25 degrees in Holland....an indian summer....
I've had a USB lighter for over a year and love it. The charge lasts forever.
We call them dahlia’s in the Netherlands
Such great ideas to bring hygge into the home! One thing I'm finally realizing in following the Flylady program is that the reason it doesn't have to be perfect is because each time a clean an area, no matter how little time I put in to it, it's like getting compound interest into a savings account. Everything I do will make the area that much shinier, cleaner, tidier and easier to clean next time. One question: how do you tackle projects which may take longer than expected? For example, yesterday I was finally changing a light bulb in a ceiling fan which required removing the glass covering (two person job replacing it). After replacing the bulb I realized the light was really enhancing the sparkle dust bunnies on the blades, a job my DH does. I, of course, cleaned up what I could but the covering etc... is put away until the weekend when he can get to it. Could you perhaps touch on some jobs which may take longer than expected? Enjoy your unplugged weekend!
Your flowers are wonderful. They are called "Dahlien" in Germany.
Dear fairy huggly Diane! you are such a lovely presence always....Love the green and the necklace! I did not understand how you can use a timer with the battery operated candles? or are they special candles that have a timer in them? I would love that! I bought on amazon a light that switched on when I pass in certain spaces, so that I do not have to turn on harsh lights in the evenings or at night when I have to go the bathroom in the middle of the night. I love them and it also makes me feel a sort of huggly presence, as if I am not alone. I am really bad about allowing myself any self preservation as you call it :-)
The IKEA ones have an inbuilt 6 hour timer.
Thanks for these motivational videos! Love that you take the time to unplug! I need to do that! If you do another challenge, that might be a nice one: unplug for a weekend, unplug of a day, and/or unplug for the morning or evening. That would help me to start doing my word search books. I like how Rachelleea
here on RUclips did word searches in the afternoon in her video Friday Afternoon Routine.
So excited at the end. Wanted to ask you do you do routines on holiday? And is there a difference if the holiday is away or at home. Obviously self catering, would be more routine possible. I suppose want to know is there a time in the year you are stepping back from routines ?
I have videos on those, will get you links when I'm back home at the computer! 👋😁
Here are a couple of videos for you, Eilenn! ruclips.net/video/OwlQ7cVs5Tc/видео.html and another ruclips.net/video/DgVcPwPAv80/видео.html
Have a lovely weekend sweetie...
" Why yes kids...I DO have a taser. Now, lets discuss you coming home late and not keeping up with your chores...."
Led candles are more dangerous for little kids due to the small batteries. Often the batterie compartment is not screwable.
How is the rechargeable lighter working out?
Still going strong! 👏😁
Can I have some cooking apples too please????? 😂 xxx
Sure! Mind your head! [starts throwing] 🍎🍏🍎😁🤹♀️
Diane in Denmark 😂😂😂😂👏🏻
Hi Diane, okay here I am a ShAM ok 👍 I have brought a baby 👶 to this world (2 months ago) and recovered and have also shifted apartment about less then a month ago .
