Thank you for always being positive and up beat, it is refreshing! I am sorry for your loss of former neighbor. Never truer words, never know what tomorrow will bring. Love your mantra "live long and prosper". God be with you and us all.

As a young Canadian mom, I really enjoy watching your videos because I don't feel the need to "keep up with the Joneses" to enjoy my life! So many younger, North American KZreadrs have massive, shiny, modern homes with all the latest gadgets, showing off their thousands of dollars spent at Target, etc., every season. I love your attitude towards life, and how you care for things and reuse things, rather than always needing the "latest and greatest". It's nice to see a lovely, cozy, modest home where you know people and things are cherished and taken care of! ❤ thank you, Diane!

Aww, thank you so much. Yes, my house probably appears quite boring because I'm not out buying the latest gadget/product... LOL! But I love recycling/shopping my own house and getting items at our Clothes Swap parties. And it frees me up to go and DO fun things instead! 😍

@@DianeinDenmark I hope I didn't come across as condescending! Your home is lovely, not boring! I think I meant that it is so lovely to watch you because, as a smart, successful woman, you aren't only concerned with placing your value in the things you own- "showing off", as it were. Your home is a reflection of you (homey and well-thought and lovely) rather than a place to brag about your wealth and status. I hope that makes sense!!

It always amazes me how watching someone else work motivates me to get something done myself. You are part of my morning routine, while sipping my coffee, after making my bed, and lol. Don't worry dressed to shoes soon follow. It is not long before I'm tackling the rest. Such a comfort really ❤️ When I come back from vacation, or holidays, it somehow transitions me back to normalcy. Nothing more satisfying than putting all the celebration and packing back in it's place. Thank you Diane.

Diane it's so refreshing to watch you in the mornings! Your my miss motivator and get up and go guru!

So funny Diane I made my bed and did a pupa but had to put you on pause to take my shower and get dressed to shoes so I wouldn't be working along with you in my night clothes. The habit is sticking. Lol Margaret

Rah rah rah! Morning routine done! Thanks Dianne for keeping me going and reminding me every day is special xx

Yup, I remember those bra adverts on TV when I was a little girl: I remember being a bit disappointed when I got to needing a bra myself that 1. Playtex bras didn't seem to be around much anymore and 2. I never really had enough to 'lift and separate' anyway! 😂 ....And, yeah, 'skoosh skoosh' is now part of our family vocabulary (thanks Diane xx) - a very useful term that puts an action in to words so effectively!!

As someone else already said, you have helped so many of us stay motivated and positive. I treasure you as the person who helps us along in life. Now. You would be so proud: yesterday, after you mentioned the hotspot thing, I did a sideways look at mine and vowed to fix it. Today, I cleared it all off (a pile maybe six inches high), filed, trashed, saved and sorted. It looks so good. And something I love about that space is that every time I look at it it reminds me of you and your gentle motivation to get things done. Truly. What would we do without you. So thankful to be on the receiving end of your wonderful ideas, caring, motivation, fun, and just all around delightful personality. Sometimes I know what you're going to say just before you say it because I've watched you so long (absorbed your words). Much love across the miles, dear Diane

Thank you Diane for creating such a lovely channel to start the morning! Helps keep me motivated and smiling ❤️

I make my own non-toxic cleaning sprays. I vary the essential oils in them to suit the season or my whim. I put the homemade cleaning solution into inexpensive brown spray bottles (similar to your Danish brand) or pretty blue spray bottles, from Amazon. I bought inexpensive die-cut stickers from Etsy to decorate the spray bottles, which although isn't necessary, does make me happy. The cleaning solution costs only pennies a batch, it takes only a few minutes, it is environmentally friendly, it smells lovely, and the bottles are reusable. Love the video series this week. What a great idea to get back on track after the holidays. You provide such sensible information. It is so refreshing amidst the excessive consumerism in social media.

Was thinking exactly the same, as you mention "lift and separate", reference to Playtex Cross your Heart bras - that's good advertising when slogans stick in your mind years/decades later. I believe it is an "old thing" when you start cutting off tube tops to get to the bottom lol! Lorna

I sure appreciate you and I admire that you don’t try to sell me all the things. You are always a breath of fresh air and inspiration.

I am doing a bit in every zone this week and it is really making the house feel so much better. Thank you.

Hello Diane You look lovely in your stripes and blue I want to say a few months on how your videos changed my life I came across you a few years ago Before your videos I would get into a state overwhelmed that's an understatement Diane you are inspiration Todate I keep to my morning and evening routines without fail I broke down my zone cleaning My weekly swipe and mop Then monthly I clean my ornament and mirrors Then 3 monthly wash down kitchen cabinet doors Wash down front of boiler Wash down cooker hood Once again thank you so much May God bless you and protect you and your family

The magic's in the motion, not the potion! 💜🩷

Diane I love watching you! I wish we were neighbors. I know we would be great friends! Happy cleaning!

You always look so lovely and professional! When I grow up I want to be as stylish as you 🥰

You are a delight, Diane! Sorry to hear about your friend. Life is short. Enjoy while you can and take care of yourself.

G-day Diane from very sunny and warm BUNBURY, Western Australia. Love catching up with you each day. Your enthusiasm is so infectious and it is so lovely learning about Denmark while getting on with our cleaning. You have inspired me (and given me permission... I know I didn’t really need it but I’m a perfectionist and have always struggled with getting all the cleaning done without burning out!) to work for 15-20 mins and then take a break and look after me with a little pampering. This change in my mindset has helped in so many areas of my life too so thank you and keep inspiring us. 💖

Somebody taught me that lotion tube trick when I was hairdressing. We used to do that to get all of our styling products "good to the last drop!" I still do it now😆

So much a simpler way of life in Denmark.

I hope your hubby had a great Birthday! Today would have been by brother's birthday too. I lost him five years ago to cancer. Please enjoy all the time you have with your husband, because time truly is short. 🎉🎂🍧🎁🎊

Oh Diane! I couldn't have parted with that lovely wee green bag. I don't know how you could toss that. It was so lovely made by your little girl!

I love your spirit and your energy! Blessings and thank you for being yourself and inspiring us all! You are so correct, you don't need all the special things unless you have them just a good clean cloth and a bit of dampness for general wiping down or whatever your preference but the main thing is to move and not say tomorrow as today is yesterdays tomorrow and we can't put it off until tomorrow any longer......LOL Long way to say ........"get up and move toward activity" and keep healthy doing so. Loved your cleaning zone today and I will be back to see for tomorrow! :-) Blessings

Love your house ...

In the process of moving. Work along with you for inspiration, encouragement! Sorting, tossing, packing is never fun. Thanks for your companionship!

LOL I had to show my hubby when you starting talking about your dad cutting the bottoms of tubes off to get out the last wee bits. My husband does that. Since it's usually for one of the lotions he puts on my back, who am I to complain. :) We put a binder clip on the end so the inside doesn't dry out.

I just love your energy 🌞

Thanks for your kind words and look after yourself as well!

I totally cleaned and even touched up the paint in my closet when the power went out. I have been waiting for a clothes swap and one of my friends is having one. Now I am ready to pull out clothes to swap. I will need to throw away old make up that I never used. It will be easy to get ready to declutter.❤❤❤

Hi Diane! You mentioned in this video about the cleaning products you use and that the ones you have are understandably difficult (and therefore expensive) to buy in other countries. I'm guessing the equivalent here in the UK are the Method range of products and I thought it might be helpful to comment on here that I've found them to be really good at cleaning and they smell nice (not that strange 'un-scented-but-still-smell-of-something' smell that some eco-friendly products I've tried have!). There's a really nice minty bathroom daily cleaner, and a lovely orangey kitchen daily cleaner, and I'll try the window and glass cleaner when I next need to buy some. They're around £4 a bottle (maybe £2 or £3 if Tescos have an offer on!) and for a long while I didn't buy them because I thought 'non-toxic' would mean they were simply a tiny bit more expensive but wouldn't work very well.....I was wrong! They're great for regular/daily cleaning and don't play havoc with my skin!

Hi Diane, Need your help any ideas how to clean behind large heavy furniture cannot hoover behind since the hoover rod and brush is too large to reach behind. Too heavy to pull the furniture forward plus time consuming I would have to empty everything and it will need at least 3 people to pull it forward so that I can hoover behind and then will need to rush it back to the wall and place all items inside. The same for my wardrobe would love any help or suggestions. Just to let you know I am not being lazy or making excuses even though it might sound like it. Would love a reply. Ashwina from UK.
