Optimistic Monday

January 28, 2013

Hi Everyone!

For those of you that are new to my blog, I try to post my goals for the week every Monday.  Then I come back the next week and let you know how I did on each goal.  It just helps me to stay a little bit more accountable to the things that I say I’m going to do.  I’d love to have you add your blog’s link below and grab a button from my sidebar.  Link up your goals or another optimistic post.

My goals for last week:

1.  Finish cleaning out my closet once and for all
I’m getting there!  I think I’ve developed a little bit of ADD over the past few months and seem to have a hard time completing big projects like this one.

2.  Register for the AIM at Melanoma walk that will take place in Dallas on May 4, 2013.
I signed up for the walk.  My sponsor link is coming soon.
3.  Walk 4 times.
I only walked 3 times this week.  The bursitis that I had in my hips a few months ago seems to be be back.  Luckily It’s only affecting just one hip.  I thought that resting it for a few days might help so I haven’t walked since Thursday.  I’m hoping that this won’t end up being a long term problem.
4.  Film 2 YouTube videos this week.
Yes, I was able to No, I didn’t squeeze in a second video on Sunday like I planned to do.  Sorry about that.  I just couldn’t get the entire thing together.

5.  Do some pilates to firm and tone a few areas that need some help since I will have to put my swimsuit on in less than 2 months on spring break.
I’ve been doing several different pilates exercises trying to firm and tone a bit.

My goals for this week:

1. Continue walking (as long as my hip cooperates) and doing pilates.
2.  Work on my blog.
3.  Bake something low in fat and calories.
4.  Lunches with girlfriends.
5.  Finish off the closet.
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.
7.  Film and post 2 YouTube videos.
I have so much to share!


What are you doing this week?

I’d love to have you!

    Good luck on your goals! For some reason, every time I organize my closet, I get it done but after doing another batch of laundry, it will turn into a huge mess again!

      Oh no! You just have to plan to stay organized. It usually takes me a few months to get the mess back again. Have a great week! Thanks for stopping by! Stacie xo

Once I start talking about something that I’m pa Once I start talking about something that I’m passionate and excited about, I just don’t stop. That’s why I decided to post some long-form videos on YouTube (where I started my journey back in 2010).

I love makeup, skincare and anything beauty. I also love clothes, jewelry, handbags and accessories. That’s what I mostly share over there. 

I hope you’ll join me over there with your morning coffee. I plan to post once a week (on Fridays) for now. 

Let me know if you want the LINK to this week’s video (also link in my profile). I’m pretty proud of it, if I do say so myself.😉

For this week’s video, I shared what I packed in my vacation makeup bag (I kept it extra light) and also few outfits that I wore (most items are on sale).

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!💗
