Optimistic Monday

October 29, 2012

It’s time for my Optimistic Monday post.  I am trying to get back to setting my goals each and letting y’all know how I do at accomplishing them.  I’d love to do this post as a weekly link up some time in the future.  Let me know if you’d be interested in participating.  You don’t have to set many goals each week.  Start small.  I think it helps to keep me accountable by writing my goals down.

Goals for last week:
1.  Walk 3 times.
Yes, I made it a point to get out there and get my head cleared a little bit on my walks.  I am a “thinker” and this time is great for “thinking.”  I had 3 shorter walks this week.  I am glad to have gotten back in the swing of things.
10/22/12 3.19 miles, 10/23/12 3.10 miles, 10/25/12 2.51 miles
It’s so peaceful walking the trails by the lake
2.  Write some thank you cards.
I actually wrote a few, but need to get my act together as far as thank you cards go.

3.  Clean out my closet (or at least part of it)
I started this ginormous task.  I went through most of my pants.  This is what led me to try them all on and realize that they are mostly all too big since I have lost some weight.  This led me to go shopping for new pants.  Such a vicious cycle.  LOL!

4.  Cook dinner on 2 nights.  Preferably something new and at least a little bit exciting.
I did cook several nights this week.  Nothing really new though.  It’s so hard to cook at our house since my husband travels and my son is on a crazy teenage boy athlete low carb diet.  I did make some desserts this week.  I posted a few that I wanted to try from Pinterest.  I was able to make the Peanut Butter Chip Banana Bread.  It was pretty wonderful!  I think next time I will just make it as mini muffins instead.  It was very rich for me so I would only need a little bit at a time.  The picture below is my actual finished product.


5.  Film at least 2 YouTube videos and write at least 4 blog posts.
I filmed 2 videos, but only uploaded one.  I will be uploading a few this week.  However, I have been pretty good at posting at least 4 blog posts per week.
Goals for this week:
1.  Walk 3-4 times at least 3 miles each
2.  Film at least 3 Youtube videos, including a few reviews
3.  4-5 Blog posts, including a few beauty product reviews
4.  Make 2 of the amazing oatmeal recipes I saved from Pinterest last week
(I’m kind of craving the cookies and oatmeal breakfast muffins)
5.  Continue the daunting task of cleaning out my closet…

Have a great week!!

Remember this pretty navy strapless dress? I can change up the look in the blink of the eye with my accessories. 

Today I added a lightweight olive color sweater wrap over my shoulders and a neutral cane wristlet. 

I find the little half sweater wrap to be the perfect touch. It adds interest, extra color and a tiny bit of warmth. It comes in dozens of colors and stripes too. 

Dress and topper are on sale!🎉

Patience is a virtue… I patiently waited (and s Patience is a virtue…

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

My jewelry is Melinda Maria and you can use code StacieH for 10% off your order.✨

My purse is Spartina 449. Isn’t it divine?!💗

Just say SHOP and I will send you all the outfit details, but you must be following me to receive the message (it’s an IG rule).‼️ 

P.S. I’m 5’1” and mostly wear petites, but this outfit is regular misses sizes. The pants are cropped length on most.💖

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

Comment SHOP for the link to this carefree outfit with sizing details.💖

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅
