👋😃🎉🎉🎉 Don’t forget our pact… I am here for you three times each week and you comment on every video. Which self-care missions will you choose for this week - 1, 2, 3 or 4?
I think #4. We have had winter snow and rainy season along with that. I'm ready for some Spring beauty. And may just buy a bouquet 💐 bc I can't keep plants alive lol
But they're so pretty 💝💐
I think I'll locate my pamper basket . It's a while since I've used it.❤
Good decision! @@edelinprogress
🎉Simplify! I think I will be doing #2. Thank you!🎉
Thanks again! Selfcare mission: Be creative❤
Have a lovely weekend! Jacqueline
Clearing out my late husband's stuff has inspired me to become a minimalist. He was a hoarder and never threw anything away. Last week I destroyed bank statements from the 1990's before we even met. I've been through a garage and double wide trailer and have another garage and shed to go through. I have no children and have vowed to not put my nieces or nephews through this ordeal.
I did pamper #1 this weekend.
Wow…..huge job….so glad you pampered yourself. It must be so freeing especially as you can do it without anything (reasons for keeping) holding you back
I had forgotten about FlyLady! I followed her back in 2003 - my son was 10 years old and was admitted to Great Ormond Street Hospital for an operation. I remember putting on my lace up shoes during the night to help him! 😅 Over the years that followed FlyLady helped me so much and I kept returning again & again. For some reason, I felt I could manage without her … how wrong could I be! My house is now in need of a complete cleaning overhaul 😅 I have not kept on top of it due to ill health and lack of routines. My son is now 30 and getting married, my daughter is living in London and I think it’s time to get sorted! Thank you so much Diane for your wonderful, upbeat videos 🎉 I’m determined to make 2024 the year I get back on track ❤ xx
Trying to get back on track as well!
I love to read through your reader’s comments Diane and today I realised just how many lives you touch and inspire with your videos. Thank you!
#1- For years I’ve listened to you talk about having a pamper basket and thought it was a lovely idea but I never took the time and care to make one for myself. This week I’m making a pact with myself to put one together with my favourite hand creams, a journal, noise cancelling headphones and a treat or two!
A big part of my self care is watching you! I love thinking ahead to the next week on Fridays, as well. Here is my motto for 2024, with apologies to Henry Thoreau: If I advance confidently in the direction of my dreams, and daily endeavor to live the life I have imagined. I will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
I love that quote!
Hi Diane! Watched Friday video on a Monday and I am planning on self care #1 Cozy Nook. Now off to watch that one!
Beautiful quote! And I agree-this channel is my self care too!💕
I agree with the first sentence!
Last year I started doing Swedish Death Cleaning after I purchased the book, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning by Margareta Magnusson. It sounds very morbid but I found it to be very satisfying. One quote in the book that really struck me was, "... death cleaning is something you should do so that your children and other loved ones will not have to deal with all your stuff." I remember cleaning my mother's house after her death and it was a burden. It often causes problems with other siblings and family members as how to divide the items or throw them out. Thank you, Diane, I really appreciate what you do to help each one of us!!
I just accidentally cleaned the kitchen while listening to you, Diane! Thanks for whatever magic you’re weaving!
LOL! Love that, Niamh!
😂 I do a lot of things "accidentally" but I don't think I have EVER cleaned accidentally! Woohoo, go you!
Me too!
LOL😂😂 I love it! Accidentally cleaned the kitchen 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I’ll be doing 2 & 3 (card making)this week . I just wanted to say, I have now completed a whole month cycle of the FlyLady/Diane in Denmark from Zone 1-to Zone 5/1 this week. I can see a huge improvement. My DH last weekend didn’t tell me that his sister and family who were visiting from other state, were coming to our house to visit. We had been out all day and were going straight to their hotel to pick them up so no time to dash home and tidy up. In the past I would have stressed, but I had completed my morning routine and that week had done my weekly home blessing, so it was a surreal feeling. Thank you so much Diane for simplifying things this year, it’s really working for me 💖👏🏻👏🏻❤️
My self care includes watching an episode, or part of an episode, of Midsomer Murders! I also enjoy sitting with a cup of tea in my cozy spot and reading. Thank you for always encouraging self-care, Diane!
We have been rewatching Midsomer Murders on the Roku channel - love the "cottages"!
I like the term 'cosy minimalist'
I shopped my house & brought out some artwork by my mother-in-law that has been hidden away. She died in 1967 and I never got to meet her. It’s now on display on a shelf in my living room.
Aww, how lovely, Rhody! 💗
#1 change to healthy snacks in pamper basket & #3 get started crocheting a baby blanket for expected great grandchild.
I’m 29 years and I love watching your videos for cleaning motivation- love your energy! Also appreciate the “if we have grandkids” comment, shows a real respect for your kids’ autonomy and choices. Keep pumping those pompoms Diane! 🎉
Another great week Diane ... thank you! My self-care was to watch the movie 'Groundhog Day' on Groundhog Day (Feb 2)! 🙂
A question for a future Q&A segment: Is your entire family multilingual? What language do you speak in the home? What about books/movies? Is everyone comfortable/flexible with English? It's very impressive to me.
I hope you are enjoying your weekend!!
I actually made sure I got together with a friend last weekend. Our intention was to go to a movie, but we decided to just keep chatting. It was wonderful!🎉🎉🎉
I am all in for needlework, candle and a movie. Long ago I started Fly Lady but it wasn’t till I discovered you a few years that I really got it; I was able to develop and strengthen that declutter muscle along with refining the system to my own life. My house is company ready within minutes.
Thank you, Diane. A spring pot plant sounds very tempting. Those colourful flowers do bring a lot of joy 😊. Have a nice weekend, everyone.
I think I'll fine tune by basket by my favorite chair for my self care this week. Thanks, Diane.
Thanks Diane for being so good at what u do & for keeping us grounded! It always helps to have a cheerleader!
Being creative is part of my daily routine. I need at least a couple of minutes of art therapy every day. Usually it’s in the form of art journaling.
A happy coincidence today, at cards , a friend brought us all a potted flowering primula to take home...hygge with no effort..such a thoughtful thing that made us all smile.
For self care I’m being creative. Daughter #4 showed me a crocheted top and I’m making it without a pattern. So far it’s looking pretty good. Have a fun weekend Diane. See you Monday.
Shop my house for Valentine’s Day quilt for living room and buy potted flowers for kitchen. Your flowers always make me happy and this self help activity actually helps me add it to my life. Thanks!
I really enjoy being a minimalist and now that I am older I find it far less stressful to keep things in the house organized and cleaned. We are working this weekend on a short list of things around the house that we have been putting off for a couple of months in preparation for the Lunar New Year on Sunday. Have a good weekend everyone.
Thanks for sharing your minimalism experience, Diane!
I love the exchange party. It looks like some much fun like eating. I like ideal how you all work together to bag up the donations. So much fun!! I think of you everyday as I declutter daily, I like short term decluttering, Joan
Oooh, what great choices! I have repositioned a mobile into a living room corner where it will be more visible and get a bit of heat updraft that will move it more. I’m also going to look at a couple of neglected knotting projects and decide on their future, perhaps while watching a rediscovered DVD of “Annie Hall” before decluttering it.
I bought some daffodils and have put them like you on the window at my sink. Felt I needed a pick me up as feeling the dark month of January was getting to me. They will cheer me up as I wash the dishes. Thank you for your motivation.
Great idea, Mrs Bullfinch! 🌷🌷
Going to add a "pamper basket" to my minivan. Maybe I'll find myself hoping the kids' soccer or musical practice runs late so I can enjoy a few minutes of "pamper me" time instead of worring that the schedule will be thrown off. Working towards making a life I dont need a vacation from. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Happy Friday….every 1st of the month I shop my house and change a little something around. So that was yesterday’s self care. This morning I spent a few minutes choosing and ordering my library books for the month.🌸
Yay! 📚📚📚
Love this idea
I bought a new plant and I’m shopping my house. I also did something creative by arranging roses in a vase. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to look at them and care for the plant. Great suggestions, Diane. Thank you.
My husband and I love your videos and he’s on board. Rah rah rah. We are blessing our house. One room a week.
Thank you!

Your encouragement keeps me going. This week I tackled my out-of-control office and caught up all the filing. Long overdue! Thank you for cheering us on!
Good Morning Diane. My selfcare will be piecing a quilt and continuing my knitting.
I always buy the first tulips when i spot them. It gives me a feeling of spring.
Self care for me will be #3...watching Poirot while folding clothes. Have a wonderful weekend!
Working on improving my routines this week. Starting with simplifying my kitchen.
Just realized how much “taking care of self” is in your daily routines. I would like to incorporate more of those things that help make life calm. I think I’ll doodle for some fun.
Fresh flowers in the family room thanks to my hubby❤️
And refreshing my “pamper pouch”- I use a zipper bag for my pamper items so if it gets knocked over or off my side table nothing falls out 😃
We’ve moved recently. Setting up a cosy nook sounds like the ticket for me!
Last week I helped my daughter declutter her bedroom!! We also decluttered and put away craft supplies. I also matched socks... 94 pairs!! I'm so proud of her and she's going to start watching your videos!! Hugs...
Last week I decluttered my jewelry drawer AND wore a favorite old necklace. This week I'm going to a show today, local musical theater with a friend #2, I'm going to move or buy some plants for my office #4, and do more embellishing of Twiddlemuffs to donate for dementia patients! Sounds like fun to me!
I joined a knitting group this week. Bought a cozy rug and plants for my balcony “living room” . Tomorrow the beach!
I am doing a twist on mission 4. Here in the states it is Ground Hog day and Punxatony Phil predicted an early spring. So I am switching out my winter table cloth for a spring one. 🎉🎉🎉
My self care will be reading in our formal living room. This room is so seldom used. Will also fill up the bird feeder, as they've finished eating all of the berries on the Winterberry Holly!
Hey Ho Diane. It is Groundhog Day here in US today. We are going to the movie Ground Hog Day staring Bill Murray. Take care and thanks for the video
Have fun, Bridget!
Instead of Journaling I am doing 'Letters to my children' where I kind of journal thoughts that I want to tell my children. I hope to be able to give them a little book some day 😍
That's a lovely idea, Luciana - I'll share it in next week's Q&A planning video! 👏🤩
@@DianeinDenmark oh Diane 😍you just made my day! I learned so much from you and I kind of hope to be a little bit like you when I am at the season of life you are in 🤗.
We wish you a lovely weekend and I will meet you next week 😘
I am going to create a little cozy nook for myself in my guest room - a nice place for a book and a cup of tea
Diane I will be doing something creative this week. Probably going to sew on my sewing machine. Love watching the British shows on TV for a good laugh too.
My pamper will be a movie and I may try journaling 🎉🎉🎉
My self care while listening to this video was to do a sudoku. It somehow gets my brain in gear to then do something productive
You are such a breath of fresh air on these dreary winter days! Thank you❤ I’m going to do #3…Scrapbooking!!
I caught the flu, and I'm just getting better today, so I'll do some catching up on your videos and my home. Thank you for being here.
What great questions your viewers ask! Thank you for today’s video, and I’ll take #4! Have a great weekend, Diane!
For self-care I chose to be creative by drawing and coloring small animals with my granddaughter.
Thank you so much for answering my question! 🎉 my daughter who we named the channel after is thrilled to bits!
I'm so glad! Say Hi to her!!! 👋😃🐈🐈⬛️🐈
You’re right about our stuff getting in the way. I still have such a hard time letting go of things. Thank you for the wise words.
Happy Friday, Diane!!! I’m watching you in the evening. We are expecting a snowy weekend here in Nova Scotia. My self care this weekend will be knitting. I finished my toque a few weeks ago, now my Husband wants one. 😂 Have a wonderful weekend! See you Monday!!!❤❤❤
I'm going to continue painting my boots with leather paint for carnival today. The costume is black and pink and the boots now have a pink top as a highlight. As a DYT type 1, I had to keep black clothes especially for the costume. Type 1 doesn't wear black! By the way, I have a stair basket, it's handy for carrying lots of small things, including food. Or I take something with me in the car for longer trips to customers. I love my little ! ones baskets. Now I'm going to start my weekly house cleaning and then enjoy a delicious lupin coffee with oat milk foam!❤❤❤Thank you Diane for being there❤❤❤
I was so inspired by Sunny in the Suburbs junk drawer (and counter) declutter and organize video today that I want to achieve that feeling too!
#4 Going to treat myself to some fresh spring flowers from Lidl when I do my errand day 💐
Cleaned the stove top and vent while listening to you. A job I have been avoiding.
Pink looks so good on you ❤ self care- cup of tea, candle and I'm going to put on a movie since hubby is out of town. 😊
I'm going to do all four of the self-care options this week. Thanks for the ideas!
Have a great weekend, Diane! I'm now working on decluttering some of my late mom & dad's papers. Their in heaven now. Dad passed in 2016 and mom in 2019. Lots of old papers and family history to go through. I will do it 10 minutes at a time. I'm sure it will take a while, but doing a bit a day is better than doing nothing at all. Set the timer, and off I go!!! 😊
Im still off work sick & now my youngest is sick, but Im here :)
Healing hugs to you both, Cambria! 💗
Get well soon
@@DianeinDenmark Thank you 💝
@@margaretsofocleous1999 Thank you 💝
You r a great help to many ppl.Enjoy ur channel for years..Take care b safe...
thanks, diane! #1 for myself - a cozy nook is a wonderful idea!
Happy weekend!! I hope you have a great weekend!
You look great in pink! Thanks for your videos
I had a cozy nook complete with a pamper basket thanks to you in our previous home. I’m excited to make a pamper drawer right by my chair in our new home - not sure why I haven’t done it before now. Thanks for all the inspiration!
It’s number 1 for me. I was thinking today that the large basket beside the sofa was overflowing with knitting projects ! Time to de-clutter and make it my pamper basket 😉 Thank you for your inspiration ❤
When my kids were small, I always wanted one of those stair baskets. Good to know that I didn’t really need it! 😂 I’m sitting in my cozy nook as I watch this, and I am decluttering a few books! Self care mission for me will be #2. 😊 Thank you, Diane!
Good evening! Thank you for the motivation 😊. Today I decluttered some paperwork, filed more paperwork and made some payments. So my office is accessible again 😉. Creativity sounds great as a self care mission. There's a knitted scarf waiting to be finished 🧶.
Hi! I'll be doing #2 and #3 ... creative (drawing) and see a movie/watch dvd. Yaaay! Thanks for another fun video.
2 and 3
Watched good old Bridget Jones with my daughter while almost finishing a quilt for my other daughters birthday ( started in 2020!) Think will need a few more DVDs tomorrow as about to see on the binding!
Quilt so I'll be taking some progress on my current quilt project.
I am going to do #4- buy a small pot of bulbs for my desk where I can see them everyday. Excited about this- thank you for the ideas!
You are so welcome, Anne!
I was given a gift card to a local plant nursery for Christmas,so I will get myself over there and spend it
I like all of your self-care ideas, Diane! Will look for a movie this weekend (maybe re-watch Hot Fuzz!) and also, some kind of added plant for the living room. The 'shop your house" idea is intriguing, too, as I tend to just keep the same old, same old in place. Thanks for keeping us on track! 🪴
You are so welcome, Jackie! 👏🤩
My self care this week will be to begin organizing our first swap party!
You make me smile every time I watch your videos. Thank you. ❤
I’ll be doing #1 &4!
Wonderful, Jody!
Thank you once again Diane! I'm working on getting back to my routines. During today's video I made the bed, changed the LOL, and unloaded/loaded the dishwasher. Today I'll work on quilting as my self care. Hugs to you from Washington, USA
I'm picking self- care mission #4. I plan to relocate the curtains and art from my bedroom to the dining room area. They match the chair cushions we have there already. 🧡
Sounds like a good swap, SoberMetalMom!
I have today off from work, and just happened to do number 4 before watching your video! 😀 Number 3 will be next. Have a great weekend!
Thank you! You too, Ann!
Part of my self care is listening in three times a week, I work along with you on Wednesdays! Self care will be adding a new candle in the living room, I just bought two new houseplants last month to cheer up the house!
Thanks for answering my question! I find you so motivational! Thanks for being here x
Thank you for another interesting video x
I’m reading Richard Osmans whole 4 books atm. Love them. Part of my self care every day. You totally brighten my life Diane. I am similar age to you with kids same ages doing same things, flying the coop, setting up apartments etc. Busy being creative atm and sewing cushions for my son’s outdoor setting he bought second hand. Giving it a joosh up!!!!!I xxxx thank you ❤
I loved all the to do’s 1 to 5 and enjoying those flowers by your sink and also coming up in the garden the next year! Talk about value adding!
Hi Diane! I choose self-care #4 - purchasing some little daffodils for my kitchen. They make a big difference on cold and dreary days! Thanks for all you do👍👍
Thank you, Sharon! 😍
I will watch a re-run of the comedy show -" Raymond." (I live in the USA) This show makes me laugh out loud.
We know that Laughter is the best medicine. Thanks Diane.
Godmorgon😊
We are back home from northern Sweden and a few flowers to greet spring after all that snow seems a really good idea. Thanks for the inspiration.
Pamper basket for me! The hygge video where your in your hygge spot was the first video I found you! Yay hygge 🎉🎉🎉
Yay! Thank you, Mary! 🎉🎉🎉
This is great. I did find the time to clean my stairs, but noticed that my kitchen definitely needs attention, so I will be decluttering and cleaning with you next week.
Choosing #2 for self-care and have some scrap wood I saved to help me learn how to paint, so I'll try #3 too, just to start using it.
These videos are SO helpful. This week has been cold and rainy so I've been trying to get my paper clutter under control. I actually found myself enjoying sorting through it.
That pink color looks incredible on you.
I have been working along with you in the Zone 5 (Livingroom) this week, but then today I realized that I should be working in Zone 1 (Dining Room), also. Thank you for explaining that this week has two zones.Today I quickly did some cleaning in Zone 1. I washed windows, dusted furniture, cleaned sliding door track, and several other projects.
I will be refreshing my pamper basket. Enjoyed the questions today.
Happy Friday, I'm going to do #3, get creative and make some pink and red paper woven hearts from the directions in my Little Book of Hygge. Thank you for all your sunny enthusiasm, Diane!
Sounds great, WestCountryGirl! 💗💗💗
1-4
Got some chocolate and tea for my pamper basket
I rotate my plants
Cause we been having storms here in Arizona
Plus new candle
Thank you again, Diane! Love the pink on you! 💕 I’m thinking I might get all 4 of the self care options in this week! 🎉 Number 1 - loving the nook idea! Number 2 - I think I’m going to find an old fashioned movie to revisit! 🎥 Number 3 - get creative with something… possibly get out into the garden! 🌱 Number 4 - shop the house, or get a new plant 🪴! Wonderful suggestions! ✨ have a wonderful weekend all! 🥰
I will refresh my cozy corner, switch the throw blankets. Also I will “shop” the house, and put some new decor out. Maybe some hearts?
