Optimistic Monday

February 4, 2013

My goals for last week:

1. Continue walking (as long as my hip cooperates) and doing pilates.
I took most of the week off from walking and I’m glad I did.  The bursitis in my hip has completely settled down.  Now I’ll be ready to go again.  I only walked on Sunday for a total of 2.75 miles.  Taking it slow…

2.  Work on my blog.
Worked on the blog every single day.

3.  Bake something low in fat and calories.
I made low fat Betty Crocker brownies and only ate 1/2 of one brownie.  The willpower was working overtime!

4.  Lunches with girlfriends.
Does lunch with my daughters count?

5.  Finish off the closet.
I’ve gotten more done but still haven’t finished.  I got a little caught up in looking at pictures and memorabilia that was in boxes up on the shelves.

6.  Maybe list a few items for sale after cleaning out my closet.  I have some nice things that I’m considering selling on ebay or another site.
I haven’t listed anything yet.  I’m deciding the best place to do this.


7.  Film and post 2 YouTube videos.
I actually filmed 4 videos and have uploaded all of them!!  You can view my YouTube channel by clicking on the YouTube link in the upper right corner of this blog.


My goals for this week:

1.  Start my fundraising for the AIM at Melanoma walk that is here in Dallas in May.

Here’s my link:

2.  Figure out how to get more recipients to receive cards through my Give A Smile Today site.

3.  Send out a few packages.

4.  Get in a few walks and some pilates.

5.  Blog networking.  

What are you doing this week?

I’d love to have you!

    I love pilates, but never get to do it. I like your goals for the week. I wanted to ask you if you have ever tried the DIOR bb cream? I hadn’t tried any bb cream until last week and I LOVE IT! It has 50 sunscreen and has really thick coverage so I don’t need face make-up anymore. Just wanted to share in case my queen of make-up hadn’t tried it.:)

      I have tried the Dior BB cream. It was the Dior Snow one, I think. I ended up returning it because the color was too fair for me. I had a sample of another one and it was too yellow for me. I’m so glad one works for your skin tone though! Thanks for stopping by Tiffani! Stacie xo

Summer isn’t quite ready to leave, but I’m already Summer isn’t quite ready to leave, but I’m already reaching for rich fall colors. 🍂

#ad One of my favorite ways to transition into fall is by layering lightweight pieces from @soft_surroundings that keep me comfortable on warm afternoons but are also perfect for when the temperatures start to cool down. It’s an easy way to ease into the next season.

These warm, earthy colors feel so timeless, and each piece can be mixed and matched with other wardrobe favorites.

Do you have a favorite fashion season?

Comment for LINKS to shop these pieces.♥️
A box filled with summer pieces that mix and match A box filled with summer pieces that mix and match, that I know will fit seamlessly into my wardrobe is always a good idea!🎉

I think my personal stylist picked some very wearable everyday essentials for me. What do you think?

Comment for the LINK that will get you $25 off your first box.

I love finding pieces that look polished, feel com I love finding pieces that look polished, feel comfortable, and don’t cost a fortune—and this affordable chambray midi dress checks every box.

It’s lightweight, flattering, easy to dress up or down, and perfect for everything from brunch to vacation to running errands. I truly think this is one of those wardrobe staples that works for women of all ages. Just switch up your shoes and accessories to make it your own!

And speaking of accessories, how fantastic are these jewelry pieces?! They’re from Noonday Collection, a fair-trade lifestyle brand that partners with artisans in vulnerable communities to create handcrafted jewelry and accessories. By providing these makers with dignified work, the company aims to alleviate global poverty and empower women.♥️

The beautiful bag is borrowed from Vivrelle. I have a discount code if you want it. And the shoes are possibly the comfiest ones I own.

Comment for the LINKS.💗

I started with an eyeshadow palette that has a variety of textures and shades in the rose family to create a million different looks. And yes, you can wear shimmers and whatever else makes you feel confident even if you’re a more mature woman.😎

You can’t go wrong any of the makeup brushes from BK Beauty to apply and blend your makeup. This eyeshadow brush is one of many that I love.

The foundation stick is new for me and I’m wondering where it’s been my whole life! It’s that good. Just swipe, blend and go. Available in so many shades that there’s one for everyone!🙌🏻

Adding depth and glow to the face couldn’t be easier with a multitasking palette of bronzer, highlighter and blush. It’s perfect for travel too.✨

The lip glow is fun because it’s a pH reactive one so it’s almost like having a custom shade that’s just for you.
I’m kinda giddy over here because I get to use thi I’m kinda giddy over here because I get to use this beautiful Louis Vuitton handbag for a month. I borrowed it from Vivrelle and their membership service. They have hundreds or maybe even thousands of luxury designer bags to choose from. 

Comment CODE for the link and my discount code that gets you 50% off your first two months.

It’s a great way to try beautiful bags without committing to a single bag. I’m having so much fun with this membership!👜

Thank you @vivrelle for the gift of this membership!
I’ve always been obsessed with pizza. I’ve attempt I’ve always been obsessed with pizza. I’ve attempted to make it at home many times and had too many failures to count. But not any more thanks to @pocobero and their delivery of NY-style pizza dough balls shipped straight to my door. 

I had my kids and grandchildren over for swimming and make-your-own-pizzas this weekend. It was a total success. The flavor of the pizza crust was absolutely delicious. It tasted as good as being in a NYC pizzeria.

I see many more pizzas in my future.😎

I put all the veggies on my pizza. What are your favorite toppings?🍕🫑🍄‍🟫🧅

Thank you Poco Bero for the amazing gift!♥️
