Having a good bedtime routine.

So, what did the day bring to me, it being very windy and in parts cold? Well my son got his hair cut with his dad. I was going to mooch around the shops but my son wanted to come with me, rather than getting his haircut so went with him to the barbers and so whilst getting his hair cut sneaked out, and went onto a charity shop, but the urge to look around the shops, that was feeling excited about, disappeared. So we went for a coffee, after my son and his dad, got their haircuts and looked in H&M and then went back home, and worked on my book, watched some TV and had a nice bath and now writing this blog on the sofa, and going to chill. 

I read an email by Mel Robbins, and she talked about doing nothing, and so that is what I am going to do, and chill until it is time for bed.

It is good to have routine, and it should include rest. I did walk on treadmill, whilst watching a live video on Youtube, but now it is evening want to relax, and be recharged ready for tomorrow. 

Having a bath always makes me feel relaxed, along with reading and watching a bit of TV, and want to watch Call the midwife, Christmas special along with watching a bit of Youtube. 

My son wants cuddles so I hope you have had a good day and bid you goodnight and you have to prioritize and have self care added in so you can settle the mind and switch off. I have an over active mind so what I consume is important before bed and give yourself alone time and do what you want to do too.

So see you tomorrow.

Many thanks for reading,

Having lots of bags

It is Tuesday, and managed to get some of my sons gifts wrapped for Christmas and have a bedroom full of bags. I did manage to pack things to reduce some of the bags, but yes I am over crowded, but once all the gifts are wrapped it will be less. 

When I say bags, plastic bags. I wrote a blog today about 10 things to organize on a regular basis: https://organize4thebetter.blogspot.com/2023/12/ten-things-to-organize-on-regular-basis.html

I will be doing a reset and get my bedroom organisation done. I am going to sort out my clothes again, and going through what I still not worn, or for a while. I like clothes but not when it clogs up certain spaces, then it time to decide on what can go and what can stay.

Many items I have are second hand items. I love visiting Charity shops, and checking out amazon, and do have the Shien APP, and I will click items, but keep them in my basket, and see if I can get the same product but on the high street and charity shops, as you can find some really good items.

I write a blog called Carries Versatile Fashion, and like items that I can wear all year round, and that have longevity. I like investing in items that is going to last for many years and because I tend to stay the same weight, I do have items that I bought a long time ago, that have lasted for a long time. 

Then I have my toiletries. I rarely have to buy Shower Gel, because I make them last and has helped save me money, and I will plenish more once I have used up what I have got. I talk a lot about this, on my Youtube channel: My way of living.

I always like to have perfume and for me is a must in my what I own and love treating myself, because like other items I have, I make them last. 

The same with Jewellery and cut down my shoes, but I am feeling like I do want to buy another pair but can't decide what type, as I could do with another set of boots of some kind. I had a pair of knee highs that I bought from amazon, and they fell apart, and so could do with another pair. as I like wearing knee high boots with leggins, sometimes and really helps to keep my legs warm but can wear summer time, and so is a good investments, and so going to have a look to see if I can buy another pair. 

So going to end blog, and please let me know if you too have a room full of bags. You can leave a comment below.
