You could use this to get into training for when gyms come back. I just jog up a really little snicket hill on my one day a week walk at the moment. We lived on a hill when we were little so we were all skinny, everyone on the hill was. So thought to do it once when I put weight on from being less active. Did it again when I left a gym I didn’t like. Brilliant and easy. Found a link how to do it properly. It is great as you get some fresh air too. If you are a woman I recommend you team up with a male friend or a group if your going somewhere lonely, otherwise stick to busy places like walking up to your highstreet or round your local area. Depends how you feel personally. This is why gyms are so good for women actually as long as you get a friendly one.

Put a link to handbag minis, handy for travel or the gym also. Great for small hanbags as well. Carrying less in your handbag is good for posture also. The search has turned up just about everything except the travel brush. Hopefully proper brushes will come back soon. Enjoy browsing minis, hope you find something fun. Exercise can be just part of daily life and this simple if you just want to be slim and have no body building goals etc.
This is like a breath of fresh air.
I never used to hoard but started during covid.
I was clinging to my life before covid and worried I’d never get new product again.
I collect perfume and soap so this is obviously collecting.
I don’t collect old tins of gone off product or thread bare t shirts and so forth, or old discontinued perfume.
Really liberating project.
If you are in hoard mode also because off covid I’ve made a bit of headway with brands you, ‘can’ get now.
They load into the workouts as sponsored projects and are in my star product and star fashion files on pinterest.
The fashion file isn’t doing as well but can put together a bit of a look from it, enough to trust some new fashion at least.
For instance you are better keeping old blazers as they pull the oversized fashion in.
But I trust my leggings suppliers enough to throw old leggings out.
Still decluttering this folder actually and got some new fashion on order.
Therefore the key to this is only throw out your hoard when you have a new trustworthy supplier.

Sleep and rest are actually really good for us, even though it seems lazy it is doing all manner of goodness for us. You could start your day with a lazy read an uplifting candle and zingy herbal tea. Then you will be more in a good mood to exercise. After exercise try relaxing candles and sleep products. Found an uplifting candle for you on a Holistic website. You may want to browse the other products ~Might help you with why you have gained weight, and how to let go and move on.
9 February
Treat yourself to a browse of the full Radox range and choose products to suit your other moods. For instance, Radox Feel Awake shower gel for when you get up in the morning and want to feel invigorated.
I don’t really hoard but our wedding went wrong and I’d held onto a wedding dress pamphlet.
I’d thrown the shoes and bag and so forth but not that, once I threw it I found it threw away the painful memory.
Obviously if your wedding worked you will keep memorobillia.
But holding onto dreams that didn’t work hold you back.
(This might not work for everyone & you need to be ready to let go first, but if you get to that point it does work ~ you have to build new dreams and look to the future from a fresh place.)

Soap & Glory ROSY GLOW™ Scented Candle​
Indulge in a moment of bliss with our fruity floral signature Soap & Glory scent of Rose and Bergamot.
It’s a perfect go-to gift for any occasion and of course, any Soap & Glory fan!
This one has mIxed reviews.
I liked the Berry Bright one from the Advent Calendar but not in stock at the moment, will try the rose one.
Enjoyed this one if it comes into stock.
I tested it and liked it then the candle lover of our household asked if they could have what is left.
The wax actually melts to the bottom without any waste.
If we could purchase more of these we would buy truckloads ~ love everything about it ~ prefer this one if possible.

You just need some nice serving dishes and chopsticks in an eastern design.
If everything is muddled on a longer de clutter remember to label items in plastic bag storage, particularly black clothing.
Then on a speed de clutter it is easy to find what you want to throw.
I cleared two storage boxes doing this.

This actually works. Just use like-for-like measurements for all your sugar needs. You may wonder why you didn’t use this before once you make the switch. My cakes worked just as well as with normal sugar, but you lose weight. A clean fitness guru might not agree, but it is great for getting off fattening stuff onto healthy stuff in my humble opinion. Then it stops you from getting bored. No one can tell the difference either.
Kitsch Style
UK kitsch art by J.H. Lynch (Joseph Henry Lynch) peaked in popularity during the 1960s and 1970s, defining the era’s mass-market dĂ©cor with iconic paintings like Tina, Nymph, and Autumn Leaves, representing a key part of Mid-Century Modern design.
Key Characteristics of J.H. Lynch’s Kitsch Art:
- Subject Matter: Sultry, glamorous, often exotic-looking women, with models potentially based on figures like Alexandra Moyens or Jean Shrimpton.
- Famous Works: Tina, Nymph, Woodland Goddess, Tanya, and Autumn Leaves.
- Production: Mass-produced prints, famously sold in places like Boots, making them ubiquitous in homes.
- Era: Strongly associated with the 1960s and 1970s, fitting into the broader mid-century aesthetic and later becoming collectible for its retro appeal.
Why it’s Kitsch:
- It’s considered “low culture” art that achieved widespread popularity, a hallmark of kitsch.
- It represented a departure from minimalist aesthetics, embracing bold, decorative, and sentimental imagery.
Legacy:
- J.H. Lynch’s work remains iconic and is experiencing a resurgence in popularity for its nostalgic and kitsch charm, appearing in films (like A Clockwork Orange) and modern home decor.

Have to confess to loving Kitsch.

Get the balance right with unhealthy food, although it is nice to have treats eating too many is classed as a junk food diet. It could be contibuting to breakouts. We still eat some but try to limit them and get 5 fruit and veg every day. You may choose to eat clean and eat no junk food at all.

Lizzie recommends throwing out all your junk food and eating clean. This was the only thing that worked for her. Removing temptation banishes sugar or snack cravings completely so this diet plan definately works. When you are hungry you will reach for fruit or salad etc. instead of unhealthy snacks.

You can make this from pre-prepared food from the supermarket and storecupboard basics easily. We invented this ourselves.
TV fashion.
The blouse isn’t available anymore, but if you have firmed your arms up with slimming calendar ~ you may prefer to opt for the sleeveless one.
If the high street comes back, you should be able to purchase something similiar at Dorothy Perkins.
I went for sleeves because of cellulite, but now if fashion comes back I’d prefer the sleeveless one.
I really like this look.

Treat yourself to some new storage boxes for your wardrobe and create more storage space with creative feng shui. Or clear up clutter and make a tidy keepsake box of memories. Wrap photographs in acid-free tissue paper and tie with a pretty ribbon. Also keeps your mind off food!!!

A 70’s breakfast choice that works well. Was surprised how much I enjoy it. Variety is one of the keys to successful weight loss and maintenance. It is a zingy way to start the day. Great if you are having carbs for tea and want to balance your wheat intake. You can also drink the fruit juice from the tin, great if you don’t drink a lot of juice.

This is a way to make an oversized polo neck jumper work with the grey jacket from Monte Carlo. This has the link to the grey jacket from yesterday, but it has sold out now unfortunately.
I ordered all this but never got any of it.
Hope it gives you some ideas if you managed to get any of these trends.

This goes with the jacket from yesterday. The jacket pulls it in and gives it a bit of style.
Wondering if this jumper will turn up somewhere.

Believed to create a sense of calm and wellbeing, research suggests that inhaling lavender before bed can aid a more restful night’s sleep. Adding to a bedside diffuser or putting just a couple of drops on the underside of your pillow (remembering that it may irritate skin and eyes) can help you to harness lavender’s sleep bringing abilities.

This product works. It is such good value you can afford to keep applying it all day. Pleased to find it is available at Sainsbury’s. Purchased this instead of my usual hand cream that I can’t get at the moment as it hasn’t been delivered yet. Again this is a well known brand. At the moment it seems easier to stick with these.
