Life

Anxiety

August 8, 2014

Anxiety is not an emotion many people like to talk about.  Well, I’m not one of those people.  I’m normally a pretty laid back person.  However, there’s so much going on in my life right now that I’m feeling rather overwhelmed and anxious.

Where to begin???  We decided a few weeks ago that maybe we should put our house up for sale since this is the time of year that most people are looking to move. We’d already found a nice smaller size home that we loved.  So, we cleaned out a few closets and put away most of the clutter.  We listed out house and went on vacation for 9 days.  The first people to look at our house within 24 hours of listing it were the ones to make an offer a few days later.  That’s pretty exciting.

The new house!

I’m starting to freak out a little bit though because we are downsizing by about 2500 square feet.  The new house seems so nice and new and practical, but we’re used to having so much storage space.  The new house offers hardly any storage at all.  The new house was the model home, so it was decorated to the nines.  Now that we purchased it, they’ve moved the furniture and accessories out of the house.  The empty house is sort of scaring me because we need all new furniture to fill it because our current furniture doesn’t really match.  Can you tell that I’m needing to vent??  Haha!

We also decided to purchase a lot in a brand new neighborhood that will begin construction around the beginning of 2015.  Now we get to go through the whole process of building a new custom home that will hopefully be our dream home.

The lot we purchased to build a new custom home

On top of everything with buying and selling homes and lots, my dad’s been in the hospital for over three weeks now.  We just take it day by day.  Unfortunately whenever he takes one step forward he takes three steps back.  It’s been a rough 5 years for him health wise.

One of my daughters is transferring colleges.  I’ve been going to orientations and such with her for the past few weeks.  My son’s been playing in golf tournaments, which is sort of stressful in its own way because you always want your kids to do well.  My other daughter moved out of the house and into an apartment with a friend. My dog is cute, but she suffers terribly from separation anxiety.  It’s gotten to the point where she’s almost a danger to herself.  Therefore we’ve started taking her to doggie day camp during the day so she doesn’t have to be alone.

Other than that, I’m doing GREAT!!  How has your summer been?

    Oh Stacie you sure do have a LOT on your plate. Just breath and take things one step at a time and it will all come together . Just think how fortunate you are to be able to do all these things Which I know you already know that 🙂 . I look forward to your journey if you share it with us ! I am sure that house is just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. Loosing so much storage ….hmmm maybe time to have a yard sale 🙂 As for your little doggie I think the day camp will help her by not being alone. Sounds like your summer has/is quiet busy !! Just remember to breath and take it one day at a time and maybe you won’t be so stressed out . Much Love you my dear friend xo Susie

    Don’t ever hesitate to vent, miss Stacie. You have a lot of life changes happening at once and that is very stressful indeed. I applaud you for talking about it and not trying to be perfect and put on a show. None of us are and those who think they are are lying to themselves. I know I certainly am not……I am going through a major life change myself of a divorce. I am well over him and the hurt but it still doesn’t change the fact that things are now different. But it’s a good different. Not all change is bad. I am praying for your mind and body to be at ease and for your dad’s health as well!

I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 for a beautiful natural makeup look that enhances the beauty of mature skin and protects it from the sun. It’s makeup and skincare in one! I love a multitasker, don’t you?

What I used:
Universal Tinted Moisturizer: This is a lightweight tinted moisturizer with SPF 46 that gives sheer coverage and a natural glow. It nourishes and hydrates with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3). It blends out perfectly for all skin tones.

Luminous Eye Corrector: This product comes in 4 peachy shades to cancel out under eye circles and darkness. It stays all day, doesn’t crease and gives perfect coverage without looking cakey. It has mineral SPF 41 to protect that delicate skin under the eyes.

Lip Silk: Deeply hydrating lip color that’s formulated with Squalane, Meadowfoam, & Peptides to nourish and soften lips without bleeding into lip lines. Available in 2 shades Soft and Bold. It has mineral based SPF 40 to protect lips from the sun and also from blue light.

These are fantastic skincare products that make you feel good in your own skin & they’re linked in my profile!💫

Sunday funny… Yes, this is how I think!🙃 The Sunday funny… Yes, this is how I think!🙃

The Costco parking lot is always so crowded and full, but a rainy day keeps lots of shoppers away so I could score a great parking spot right now.

I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of S I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of Skin Pharm for a little Dysport refresh with the incredible Rebekah.💖

I really appreciate her knowledge and skill, but what impresses me the most is the way she listens to my concerns about my aging skin and she does everything she can to help make me feel more confident.

She educated me on the latest products and treatments available and we decided together that Skinvive is something that I might want to try in the future. Have you heard of it? It purely for hydration and not for volume.

You can see my highlights with my previous treatments at Skin Pharm too.

Skin Pharm is a clinician-founded, female-led cosmetic dermatology practice with locations in several states including TX, GA, NC, SC and TN. 

Oh, and their skincare products are amazing! You can purchase them right from their website too! I highly recommend their cleansers, the eye sculpt cream, the Youth Serum and the new Face Whip.💫

✨Right now they’re running a special where you get FREE cleanser AND Crystal Clear with any treatment  through 5/30/25.✨

Book your appointment at @skinpharm asap so they can take care of you too!
