Optimistic Monday

February 25, 2013

Happy Monday morning!
Sorry, but I skipped this post last week.  I need to get back on it though, so here goes:

My goals from last time:
1.  Walk
I have been walking, but not nearly enough.  Only twice a week, which isn’t enough for me.

2.  Look into volunteer positions
I’ve looked at different options.  I need to wait though to sign up for a weekly assignment though because I have a few things coming up in the spring.  I will definitely be volunteering for a few things that don’t require a long term commitment for right now.

3.  Blog posts
I haven’t been too good with the blog posts this past week.  Not sure why, I think I was stuck in a rut.

4.  Lunch with girlfriends
(It’s my birthday week, so everyone wants to go eat!)
Yes, I have spent a lot of time lunching with my girlfriends.


That’s it!  I kept it simple.

My goals for this week:
1. Walk 3 times
2.  Take the online photography class that I signed up for
3.  Talk to my dad more
4.  Be a better blogger
5.  Read more blogs and watch more of my friend’s YouTube videos.
6.  Film at least 2 YouTube videos.
7.  Write a few thank you notes.

What are you doing this week?

    I hope you had a great birthday week! You are a good blogger, you just need a crazier life than it would be easier to blog. Haha….

    I love your makeup reviews. I was in the beauty supply the other day and saw that OPI nailpolish with the flat finish and glitter that you talked about and I thought of you. xoxo tiffani

Some handbags are just handbags… and then there ar Some handbags are just handbags… and then there are the ones that feel like a piece of art. #consuela_partner 

I’m loving the Bae City Bag from Consuela! It’s a fun statement piece, but it’s also incredibly versatile. I especially love wearing it crossbody when I want to be hands-free.

And knowing this bag is handcrafted in Mexico with attention given to every detail makes it feel even more special. Every @ConsuelaStyle bag has so much personality and character. 

If you’re already thinking about your Fall wardrobe, you definitely want to take a peek at the Consuela Fall Collection. There are SO many gorgeous bags and accessories to choose from that are fun and functional.

Go check out the collection and tell me which bag is your favorite!

I’ve been using the NEW RoC Line Smoothing 2-Step Peel Pads, and I love how simple they are to use.
 
Step 1 gently exfoliates with a blend of glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and other exfoliating acids to remove dull, rough skin.
 
Step 2 follows with RoC’s patented Clinical Retinol plus Ectoin to help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting your skin barrier. The best part? It takes just a couple of minutes and fits seamlessly into my evening skincare routine.
 
At 61, my skin feels noticeably smoother and looks brighter after using them, and with continued use they’re designed to improve texture, uneven tone, dullness, and the appearance of wrinkles.
 
At around $30 they’re an affordable way to enjoy a professional-inspired peel at home.
 
Are you as excited as I am about this new at-home dual-step treatment?

There’s something about a makeup collection that’s There’s something about a makeup collection that’s beautiful on the outside AND has a beautiful story behind it.

I’m playing with the Chantecaille Lion Collection for the first time today. The gorgeous shades are inspired by the strength and beauty of the lion and the colors of the African landscape.

But what I love most about Chantecaille is that their love of beauty goes beyond makeup. The brand has a long-standing commitment to wildlife conservation, and their lion initiatives supports Lion Guardians and their efforts to protect these magnificent endangered animals and preserve the communities that live alongside them.

And can we talk about these colors?! The warm, earthy tones are absolutely gorgeous for creating a soft, sophisticated makeup look — and yes, it’s a limited-edition collection but I’m already wishing these shades would stay around forever!

Would you wear this color story? Tell me in the comments.

Are you ready for the temperatures to drop too?

Sharing is caring so I decided to share the things Sharing is caring so I decided to share the things I bought and recommend from this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I mostly bought clothes this year.

I like to shout from the rooftops when I find good I like to shout from the rooftops when I find good beauty products that work well for my mature skin in hopes that others will discover them too.

Be sure to let me know if there’s anything you’ve been loving lately too.💖

Today I’m including:
•a body makeup product that helps cover, disguise and blur my dark spots from sun damage from too many years spent in the sun.

•an at-home FDA cleared fractional laser to improve the appearance of my skin and even help get rid of some of those dark spots. I’m using it nightly.

•a beautiful pink lipstick that is like happiness in a tube

•an excellent facial spf product that protects my skin when I’m outdoors. I purchased mine when I was in France.

•some tasty gummy supplements I’ve been using including a multivitamin and a gummy prebiotic and probiotic combo to keep my gut happy

•and a balm that works great for keeping my skin hydrated that I like to dab under my eyes and on the lines above my lips because hydration helps make fine lines look better/less obvious when I look in the mirror.
