No excuses! Hygge life and home – Danish lifestyle vlog and tips! Are you exercising daily? Our Early Christmas Planning Tool 2021 – we have started!
What's your favourite daily exercise…and is it indoors or outdoors! Go you for moving your bahookie!
I got an indoor trampoline, and I love it when I use it, but I’ve been procrastinating and not using it:-/. I walk the dog daily, and swim in the bay 30 min. 4 days a week. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation!💝
I don't know why, I don't like couch pillows, I just find them so uncomfortable. And I definitely don't do decorative pillows. and walking is mainly the exercise i do with resistant exercises because i have arthritis and cant do strenuous routines.
I love your clothes.
Much love from Tx!! Its a beautiful 75 so far the high will be in the 80's. 💗💗💗
I just love these little visits with you, Diane. You’re a bright spot in my day!
Hi won’t the kids come home again after college or University before they get jobs
Starting to receive the watercolor paints and papers for hygge and making special Christmas cards. Doing practice designs at least until the watercolor greeting card blanks arrive. It is more fun than I remembered. Since my family does not exchange gifts for ages out of school, I want to make special Christmas cards (and enjoy my hygge time). Simple designs this year, house portraits next year. 🎄🏠🎄🏠🎄🏠🎄🏠🎄🏠🎄🏠🎄🏠🎄🏠🎄🏠🎄
I always feel that "Empty Nesters" is a rather sad, lonely term. Love that you are looking at the fullness of being two together in the new nest!
What are the benefits?
What? Skinny dip? Ummmm not a thing in the US
Just a doubt.. I see that your kitchen sink area is always so tidy.. So you wipe away the odd dishes which dont go into the dishwasher and put them away immediately??
I'm very inspired by your videos Diane… I love keeping my home clean and tidy but your routines are bringing in a structure to my routine, which Im enjoying!! So Thank you!
Tattie break here!
“Pouring with rain” lol. You crack me up. You are the sunny spot! It’s too bad most people in the US don’t have your attitude about exercise! I think our country would be a lot healthier!
Hi,
Your videos are great. I want to have your contact for collaboration. Could you please let me know your official email?
Thank you so much.
Hello Diane! Just curious, now that you're an empty nester, will you be downsizing your Christmas at all this year (Baking, decorations, etc) or will you keep it pretty much the same? Have a terrific day! … Lisa from Canada
Your awesome …
Outside in rainy weather makes my hair curl – literally! Unruly natural curls that don't cooperate or work together so my favorite 'exercise' of choice is moving to music. Some people might call it 'dancing' but my moves are anything but graceful but the moving is enjoyable. For us older folks, some of us have arthritis that rainy weather triggers and makes walking outside painful.. so dancing inside works for me!
Diane you are the reason I both love and hate social media. So much is negative about social media in our lives and then there is you… the light in our social media lives. Thank you for being you.
Yup, I did it! I got to the pool today but it was rainy here today as well, so I did not ride my trike. I do not have waterproof pants, so I would have ruined my trousers. So I drove rather than not go, and took a walk with my dog later on.
As I have only recently found your channel, I am wondering how your naked swimming hobby began and how you prepare for and deal with such cold water, is it difficult on your body to swim in the the cold so often? I am a warm weather gal for sure, I almost go in to shock if pool or beach water isn’t almost as warm as my bath water! 😊😜
When you picked up that big chunk of ice there in the freezing water, I gained a whole new level of respect for you! I am cold just watching you! I have lots of yard work to do at this time of year, so that is keeping me active. Thanks for your encouraging vlogs!
My husband and I are approaching becoming empty-nesters, and I am so sad, not looking forward to it at all! Do you miss your children living with you?
You make me smile every time you post a video! Thank you for being a ray of sunshine!
Aaww Diane
"Left the nest"
Skinny dipping in the rain is such an awesome feeling. Can you send me some cake though? Lol.
I strongly feel for a while now (2-3 years) that I just want to “skip” Christmas. I think some recent negative experiences and sad feelings of that day have increased to the point that I feel like I won’t/can’t have a nice Christmas. What an awful surprise to realize what a negative belief I’m holding! 😨 I think it will be good if I can put some attention on it; and see about cleaning it up a bit. Maybe I need to forgive myself for not taking a break 3 years ago when I needed it! But, also, I “couldn’t” in that time.
I though the Atlantic was to cold to wade out today when it was 80 and sunny here in South Carolina. I guess I’m a wimp 😆
🌟🦙
Love how you and your husband are embracing the next stage of your lives 💗
I guess the potato holidays in Denmark are the same idea to the Scottish tattie holidays here 🥔
Your cake looks delicious, yay to white icing, enjoy 😋
Thanks for sharing this great video
You are a dose of positive energy 👍💯💯
Love seeing you Diane! Have a great Wednesday! 💜
A springform pan, we call that. It's for cheesecakes but I like how you call it a tin and I also love how you make your yearly apple cake in it! DD21 just made apple streusel muffins at her new "flat!" Happy Wednesday!! My procrastination task was dropping off paint to get remixed;)
Ha I do use the bad weather in the UK not to go outdoors if I can help it, and I do draw the line at ICE IN THE WATER??!! But I remember when I worked in a Nursery and many of the children lived in high rises or near busy roads and didn't really get much outdoor activities/fresh air – and the Nursery policy was 'dress for the weather and get outside' and the kids loved it – I was still stood shivering but it was lovely!
My favorite is practicing and training for aerial dance! It's challenging and a lot of fun. I also love taking long walks with the family.
Always look forward to seeing what you are up to. Weather is beautiful here is Scottsdale, Arizona. Interested to follow your downsizing. ❤️
Diane. thank you so much for your inspiration! Today I got my Christmas Journal in order for this year, and now I watched your cheerful video message as it's already getting dark early outside. I even wonder, is it time to change things around a bit here too? 😉☘
You are such an inspiration!! Thanks for the play list for preparation…I am enjoying the play list
That apple cake looks and sounds yummy 😋 We British need that saying about the weather too 😉☔🌧
Yes! The hubby and I go back and forth from San Francisco to San Diego. Easy to exercise in San Diego because so sunny, not so easy in SF because cold, foggy and rainy. However, you are my inspiration and I now do early morning ( and late afternoon walks) with my dog Miss Daisy and we have both become much trimmer! It was a bad year for us so your videos helped so much…very inspirational! Thank you and sending you a big hug!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
My favorite is hiking and I like Heather Robertson and Grow with Jo on YouTube.
👍👍Thank you very very much 🙏🙏 ( from India )
The cake recipe looks so good! Yum, nothing wrong with white icing (I love it too).
Thank you so much for the reminder to go outside even on a dreary day. It is rainy here in Northern California as well. 🌧🕯😊💕🌧
Thx Diane!
Had an early morning walk today. Love getting out in the fresh autumn air. Hope you enjoyed the cake. Icing is always a good addition!
Hi from sunny AZ, it is a beautiful day here, in the 80's F today which is "cool" for here. Love your sea swims, and friends you hang with, always having a good time. How is your hubby coping with the "empty nest"? as always, having my am coffee with you(we are 9 hrs apart I think). also, have you ever seen the series Bosch? detective series my hubby and I are binge watching..really good..much love from us
