The Month of Me

When it comes to your birthday, don’t just celebrate the day you were born, but the month, giving you time to really love yourself.

For me a big thing when it comes to selfceare and love, is to make sure that everything around me is clean and nice, so first I use a whole day cleaning my room from top to bottom, which is more work than people think considering that we have a wonderful lady coming to clean the apartment twice a week.

My area she only handles the bathroom and the floors, but desks and shelves and stuff like that is things I like to handle myself.

So first of all, I wake up bright and early as always, and strip my bed for all the covers and sheets, as well as all the decor pillows.

Time to start the first wash of the day and then back into the room.

My bed is on a platform way up, so moving it ain’t the easiest, but cleaning your madras and under it is very important to do at least once a month (if you ask me).

So I push the top madras and the madras off and on the the floor and carry them out on my balcony, where I make sure to give them a good beating so all the dust is removed without just ending somewhere in the room.

Back into my room, I remove all the plushies, pillows, and the duvet and make sure they get aired completely.

I remove the carpet from the platform and anything else up there and get the vacuum ready, so I can vacuum as good as possible under the bed and on the free part of the platform.

The carpet gets vacuumed too and I make sure to whip the table and decor before starting to put everything back in place.

Carpet, table, seat, madras, top madras, sheet on top, and then decor.

Plushies ad pillows will wait until the duvet is done airing and gets clean sheets on so the bed can be made.

Now it’s time for under the platform where I work.

Here I whip down all the shelves, the desk, clean and restock my fridge, vacuum the carpet, vacuum the floor, and finally, washing the floor.

Bedroom all done and if I plan everything right, then the bathroom will already have been done, so I can just put on clean sheets, make the bed, and take a well deserved bath before getting into some comfy pjs and relax with a face mask, a refreshing drink, and some YouTube videos.

Remember that you are your best self, when you feel good where you live and stay safe.

Kisses.
