Optimistic Monday

August 20, 2012

Hi Everyone!  I hope you all had a great week.  Mine was pretty good.  I shopped for makeup and beauty products (that I didn’t need).  Makeup makes me happy, so I splurged just a little.  Haul video coming real soon.  Now I am off to my Optimistic Monday…

Goals from last week:
1.Walk 4 times.
I am happy to report that I walked 5 times this week!
8/13/12 3.02 miles, 8/14/12 3.75 miles, 8/17/12 3.04 miles, 8/18/12 3.19 miles, 8/19/12 4.04 miles
2.  Bake a new recipe for dessert.
I made homemade ice cream (Snickerdoodle) using a recipe from the Six Sister’s Blog on Pinterest.  It was way too sweet for my liking.  I also made Peach Sherbert using a recipe in my Vitamix cookbook.
You can see the hole where we have been having “tastes”
3.  Make a new dish for dinner rather than the old standbys.
I made a stir fry that I had not made in months.  Does that count?  I was just happy that I actually cooked 4 dinners this week.
4.  Take more pictures after hopefully learning new camera skills.
I am still working on getting to know my camera.  I am SO happy that I took the plunge and purchased a DSLR!  I love my camera!
5.  Organize my blog schedule on paper so that I can keep up with it better.
I started by purchasing a new purse size organizer/calendar that I have started filling out so I can remember when I have particular blogs, links etc. coming up.
6.  Begin to clean out my closet (once again)

I think the goal for this week will be to go though my shoes and donate what I don’t wear.  
I confess that this one just did not get done.   I guess I will need to move it to this week’s goals.

Goals for this week:
1. Clean out my closet!
This is my number one goal since I did not accomplish it last week.
2.  Walk 4 times
3.  4 blog posts
4.  2-3 Youtube videos
5.  Make another new dessert
6.  Make a new recipe for dinner to conform to my son’s new low carb diet.
7.  Have a date night with my hubby.
This doesn’t happen nearly enough.

Do you set goals?
Have a great week!

    I love that you post your goals each week! Is there a reason that your son is following a low carb diet?

July favorites photo dump… These are some of t July favorites photo dump… 

These are some of the clothing and accessories that I loved wearing and sharing with you throughout the month of July. And apparently, all of you loved them too!💖💖

These are some of my favorites and bestsellers for women over 50, 60 and beyond. I always say to wear what makes you happy and not what society dictates.  Because if you love what you’re wearing then you’ll feel your best, boost your confidence and achieve your goals.

Age is just a number! Who’s with me?😎

Let me know if you want LINKS to any of these outfits with sizing details.💖

I’m all about affordable fashion (most of the time😉) and shopping the best sales and deals. If that sounds like you too, then give me a follow for lots more.🥰

Happy Monday! I’m back from vacation and already Happy Monday! I’m back from vacation and already dreaming about the next one.

There’s nothing like getting back into the swing of things right away and today’s casual swing dress and jewelry are perfect for the meetings and appointments I have.

But first… a walk with my weighted vest because I actually missed it while I was away. 

Let me know if you’d like the LINKS. The dress is on sale in limited sizes and I have a discount code for the beautiful jewelry.

Have a great week friends!💗

Let me know if you want the outfit LINKS sent straight to your messages.🤩

It’s a fabulous strapless lightweight jumpsuit! Just change out your accessories and shoes, maybe add a topper and you’ll be ready for anything.💫

Where would you wear this jumpsuit?💖

This jumpsuit is a cropped length on most, but at a petite 5’1” it is longer on me. It’s great because it accommodates a variety of body types, but I may get it hemmed. Still deciding.🤔

The dog days of summer call for linen, and this pr The dog days of summer call for linen, and this pretty striped shirtdress fits the bill.☀️

It’s from a brand called The Shirt by Rochelle Behrens. She uses a patented No Gape® button technology in all of her designs so there’s no gaping at the chest. So now we can all feel confident instead of self conscious.💖

She also has some other dresses and beautiful tops, all with the same button technology.💫
