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?


Link up below if you want to share your goals or a positive post.
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

I love when it’s easy to get ready and out the doo I love when it’s easy to get ready and out the door because I always seem to be in a rush these days.

I’ve never been a false lashes kinda gal, but it truly couldn’t get any easier than with these magnetic lashes. They’re so good that I’m ordering more asap so I’ll have a variety to choose from. I’m so obsessed with how good they look and how quick they are to apply.

I’m wearing the Savannah Breeze style which is shorter and perfect for everyday wear. 

I have good news if you’ve been wanting to try them! I have a discount code for 10% off your order. Just use STACIE at checkout when you order from @wosado_official or comment for the direct LINK.

@coldwatercreek has great pieces to mix and match into your wardrobe along with some super fun shoes and accessories too.

And yes, I got my neckerchief back from my puppy, but it sure looked cute on her.😉

You can view these pieces and get all the details on my LTK or in my story link now.
#ad I picked up some new and old faves from @lorea #ad I picked up some new and old faves from @lorealparis on my recent run to Target that are so good for us mature ladies, so I just had to share them with you because there’s no gatekeeping around here when it comes to hydrated healthy looking skin.

The hydrating balm foundation and blush have 80% skincare ingredients, so they help plump up my skin to minimize the appearance of my fine lines and wrinkles. They feel lightweight and give the most beautiful radiant finish. I also like that they have buildable coverage, come with an easy-to-use applicator and a mirrored compact for touchups on the go.

The Panorama Mascara gives my lashes volume without clumps or flaking and it’s smudge resistant. I love the applicator brush because it grabs each lash for even application.

And the setting spray is the perfect final touch with a micro mist that dries instantly for a breathable, radiant finish.

So, tell me, are you running to @target to grab these products after seeing them in action?

This one’s for the petite ladies… @petitestudiony This one’s for the petite ladies…

@petitestudionyc recently introduced their new collection for Fall and it includes tailored blazers, feminine blouses, cozy sweaters, pants, jackets and more.

I chose a reversible pointelle cardigan, high waisted wide leg jeans and a fully lined wool blazer. I know I will mix and match these into my wardrobe for years to come.

This brand should be on your radar if you’re looking for stylish, feminine clothing that’s designed specifically for petite proportions.

It’s been a go-to brand for me for years. You can see more over on my blog and enjoy 20% off your order for a limited time with code STACIE.
