Optimistic Monday

January 21, 2013

Happy Monday Everyone!
I think Mondays make me happy because they are a new start to a brand new week.
How about you?  Do you dread Mondays or do you look forward to them?
My goals for last week:

1.  Walk 3 times this week.
I actually walked 4 times!
1/14/13 3.21 miles, 1/17/13 3.0 miles, 1/18/13 3.07 miles, 1/20/13 3.38 miles

2.  Start working on my daughter’s senior scrapbook.
 I didn’t even think about this one.  I really need to get moving on this scrapbook or I’ll be regretting it the week that it’s due.  Okay, I’m getting on Shutterfly this week…

3.  Bake something with the dried cherries and almonds that I purchased last week.
I made some AMAZING Toasted Almond Cherry Oatmeal cookies from a recipe I found on Pinterest.  I ate waaayyy too many of them too.  That is why I added an extra walk this week.  LOL!

4.  Work on blog improvements. 
I’m working on making my blog a more interesting place to visit.  I think it’s always a work in progress.

5.  Continue to purge from my closet.
I’ve continued to get rid of the items that I simply don’t wear.  I think this one will also always be a work in progress.

I know this is pretty pathetic.  This is only a section of the closet.  #hoarder

6.  Get those returns made to the stores.
Yes, I got my returns done for things that needed to go back to a variety of stores.

My goals for this week:

1.  Finish cleaning out my closet once and for all
This includes actually taking the items to a local charity.

2.  Register for the AIM at Melanoma walk that will take place in Dallas on May 4, 2013.
I will provide a link for donations soon.  My mom is one of the honorees for this year’s walk.  If you’re new to my blog, my mom passed away from melanoma in November and I am dedicated to raising money to find a cure.

3.  Walk 4 times.
We’re supposed to have warm temperatures this week in Texas so I’m hoping to walk outside rather than indoors at the mall.

4.  Film 2 YouTube videos this week.
I’d like to get back in the swing of things.

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.

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!

Have a great week!

    I think you are right about closets always being a work in progress! Great week you had and hope you have another productive one! I actually cleaned/purged part of my attic yesterday. Felt so good!

      Me too! I’ve found that I feel somewhat more accountable because others are reading my posts on Mondays to see what I’ve done and I don’t want to let anyone down, etc. Have a great week! Stacie xo

    Closets – the place where every week I make a note to clean it up. I’m just relieved I am not alone in this.

May is skin cancer awareness and melanoma awarenes May is skin cancer awareness and melanoma awareness month. This is my reminder to you to wear your sunscreen every single day and get annual skin checks. Early detection is key to a good outcome.

Both of these products from Beekman 1802 are keeping my skin healthy, hydrated and moisturized, and most importantly, protected from uva and uvb rays from the sun.☀️ In fact, goat milk has 31 active ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier!🐐

Have you had your skin checked by a dermatologist in the last year? If not, please make an appointment now.

You can always use code Stacie20 on the @beekman1802 website for a discount. See the link in my profile or comment SHOP.☀️

This post is in honor of my mom who we lost to melanoma in 2012. She would’ve turned 83 tomorrow.💖😇

I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 for a beautiful natural makeup look that enhances the beauty of mature skin and protects it from the sun. It’s makeup and skincare in one! I love a multitasker, don’t you?

What I used:
Universal Tinted Moisturizer: This is a lightweight tinted moisturizer with SPF 46 that gives sheer coverage and a natural glow. It nourishes and hydrates with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3). It blends out perfectly for all skin tones.

Luminous Eye Corrector: This product comes in 4 peachy shades to cancel out under eye circles and darkness. It stays all day, doesn’t crease and gives perfect coverage without looking cakey. It has mineral SPF 41 to protect that delicate skin under the eyes.

Lip Silk: Deeply hydrating lip color that’s formulated with Squalane, Meadowfoam, & Peptides to nourish and soften lips without bleeding into lip lines. Available in 2 shades Soft and Bold. It has mineral based SPF 40 to protect lips from the sun and also from blue light.

These are fantastic skincare products that make you feel good in your own skin & they’re linked in my profile!💫

The Costco parking lot is always so crowded and full, but a rainy day keeps lots of shoppers away so I could score a great parking spot right now.
