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

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!♥️
