I came in from work tonight and the house has all been cleaned and looking lovely.

It’s sooooo good to come home to a clean house. It’s such a relief to not have to do any housework tonight. Thank you Craigie!

My friend Tracey in Canada sent me a recipe called Detox Salad overnight…. Of course I decided not to wash my hair this morning so I could head to the supermarket before work.

Why do I find these things so difficult to do after work?!? I go before work, have 20 minutes spare and trying to read a recipe and find things I have no idea where they are in the supermarket. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂 no pressure.

I made it with two minutes to spare this morning, I got everything I needed. Check me.

I got home from work and the second ingredient was a veggie stock cube… and when she got there the cupboard was bare!! None…. Dammit…. Thankfully Claire had some and gave me two.

So I made Crazy Vegan Kitchen’s Detox Salad. The only negatives are trying to figure out what a “cup” measurement is and thinking that Cilantro was Celery…. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

It took me about 35 minutes to make, which is a bit long for my liking… but I love it.

Mum….. I need a big mixing bowl from the charity shop if you get one in… we communicate through the blog these days! 😂

I have plenty for lunch and dinner tomorrow.

It was really lovely!

I also listened to a podcast today to improve your morning routine with Mel Robbins.

The theory is that if you do these 3 things it will give you a better approach to the day. You’ll be more alert and less likely to have an afternoon slump.

Get up with the alarm… average snoozers waste 4 weeks in a year snoozing… those who get up are less lethargic and ready for action. I’m a getter- upperer… most days but I will try to be more aware of this. (I also make up words!)

Trying to sit in natural light before you look at artificial screen light….. allows you to control your own mind rather than the things you read on your phone.

I’m not sure how to do this as I’m not going to sit outside first thing but I think it just means not to pick up the phone before you’ve been outside and in the present moment. This is definitely something I could try.

Drink a big glass of water, 90 minutes before your first coffee… as coffee (non decaf) actually makes you feel more tired and encourages an afternoon slump. It was a really interesting podcast. Mel Robbins is a good listen.

So that’s all for today.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
