Obviously posting here for traffic

As part of "new year new me"resolutions, I am trying to establish a set of habits/small things to do in order to be either happier/healthier or look better/be smarter

What I do now-
-Gym 3 times a week (either zumba or cross fit for now)
-Have a nice cup of tea in the morning
-Reading 30 mins a day either the book I am currently reading or a nice magazine
-Bubble bath

Nothing else crosses my mind now. What do you do?

I hope this post makes sense as I have an Grinexam tomorrow and am a bit crazy today

I keep a squeegee in the shower & use it & drying cloth (large repurposed car polishing cloth) after every shower. Takes 2 minutes & so always looks nice without any panicky last minute heavy duty cleaning when unexpected visitors rock up (live in a hard water area).

Audiobooks in the car - can’t believe how much of my life I wasted commuting. I can download them free from my local library.

If I buy something new for myself/the house, something has to be thrown/recycled.

Look at the sunset (I moved house & it faces southwest, with a reasonably open - if urban - aspect). Cheers me up no end. I was on holiday a few weeks ago & someone was raving about the sunset, & I thought “I can see this every day”.

Great thread! I don’t do much in terms of planning or caring for myself, but...

Dishwasher always on at night (meaning kitchen vaguely tidy).
Nearly always moisturise feet before putting socks on.
Yes to perfume or matching lingerie!
Supermarket deliveries, we both add to the list during the week. Plus a write in/wipe off board in kitchen for random shopping thoughts.
And my favourite: a Gruffalo family year planner. Column for each of the family, all events, plus one spare (for bins etc). If it’s not on the calendar, it doesn’t happen!

As I've just put outfits together for the week, I thought I'd share what my morning sanity looks like! Skirt/jeans/trousers with top or leggings with tunic dress; knickers and bra round the hanger, socks/tights tucked in the knickers, and matching scarf paired up ready to go!
