Optimistic Monday

March 18, 2013

I’m trying to get back on track with my some of the regular posts on my blog.  What better way to do this than with my Optimistic Monday post and a review of my goals.

My Goals for last week:
(or maybe it was the week before?)

1.  Write some blog posts and get them scheduled to go up while I’m on vacation.
I kind of failed in the scheduling of posts while I was on vacation.  I did sit still long enough to get a few posts up, but not really anything too exciting.

2.  Run errands and complete by Wednesday or Thursday.
I did get all of my errands done in a timely manner.

3.  Be packed for vacation by Thursday.
I was packed up and ready in plenty of time.  The only thing I ended up forgetting was my contact lens case and eyeglasses.  I was able to buy a new storage case easily but had to do without my glasses.  They are just for distance, but I like to take my contacts out in the evenings and wear glasses to rest my eyes.  I guess it’s not too bad considering it’s all I forgot to bring.
4.  Film 2 videos and upload both this week!
I filmed a few videos but didn’t upload because I didn’t like the way I looked in them.  Oh well…

5.  Mail out packages and cards for my Give A Smile Today list.
Yes, I mailed a few things before I went on vacation.


6.  Take a walk on the beach!!
I took MANY walks on the beach.


My goals for this week:

Since I have an extremely busy week with my kids’ schedules, I’m not going to set too many goals this week.  We’re having my daughter’s senior class over Monday night for dinner and fellowship.  Tuesday is a high school golf tournament for my son that I will attend.  Friday is Prom for my daughter.  I’ll just take one day at a time and it will all work out just fine.

1.  Get over this jet lag ASAP!
2.  Walk 3 times and try to do some pilates.
3.  Get up at least 4 blog posts.
4.  Film a few videos, including a few reviews that I’ve been wanting to do.

Do you have some goals that you are trying to accomplish this week?
Share them below in the comments section!

Have a fabulous week!

Layering season is officially here! I’m wearing so Layering season is officially here! I’m wearing some of my Fall wardrobe staples from @soft_surroundings. I know I can count on them for my everyday basics in every season.

Their lightweight pima cotton turtlenecks are one of my favorite Fall staples and I have a bunch of solids. So glad to see the animal prints this year.

As promised, I have a mini try-on video for you fr As promised, I have a mini try-on video for you from my recent #wantable Box called Cozytober. This was a box filled with, you guessed it, cozy Fall clothes.

This was a selection of the items in my box. I bought 4 of the items to add to my wardrobe. I loved everything except the pants which were too long for this petite gal.

Get $25 off your first box styled by your very own personal stylist with my LINK. Let me know if you want it.

October and cozy clothes go together perfectly, he October and cozy clothes go together perfectly, hence the COZYTOBER box from @wantable 🍁. This is their most popular edit and now I know why.

I think this was my favorite styled box so far. 

If you’re ready to get personally styled with a box of 9 items, then comment for the DETAILS and I will send you a link that gets you $25 off your first box.
It’s official! Amazon Prime Days are here and thes It’s official! Amazon Prime Days are here and these are the sweaters that I’m recommending. They’re all soft, comfortable fabrics and on-trend designs that I will wear on repeat. And the jacket isn’t too heavy nor too light. It will be perfect for my walks and other outdoor activities.

Are you partaking in all of the Fall sales too?
