Optimistic Monday

January 7, 2013

Happy Monday Everyone!
Things are starting to get back to normal just a bit around our household.  One child is back in school.  The next starts back tomorrow.  And the third is leaving for a mission trip to London with her college dance team.  Funny place to be going to do mission work, huh?  My other daughter went to Peru for her mission work, so when we heard London for this trip, it sort of surprised us.  I’m sure there are people all over the world who could benefit from these services.  I can’t wait to hear all about her journey.  I hope it’s a great experience for her.

My Goals for last week:
1.  Write my Christmas thank you cards.
I did get a few of these done.
2.  WALK – I don’t even recall the last time I really exercised.
Yes!  Walked 3 times last week.  I even started it out on New Year’s Day!
1/1/13 3.44 miles, 1/3/13 3 miles, 1/4/13 3 miles
3.  Set up doctor’s appointments since it’s a new year and time for checkups.
I tried to do this…  Set it up online and then the back and forth emails led to me not getting an appointment after all since the times were all taken by the time the nurse got back to me.  I guess everyone wants to get in the first of the year.
4.  Take down the Christmas decorations asap.  With our travel schedule we did not take them down before our trip.  My goal is to get it done on New Year’s day.
Yes, all decorations and the tree are put away for next year.  The house looks so bare without all of the bling everywhere.  I miss it!

My Goals for this week:
1.  Bake the Cherry Almond Biscotti recipe that I found on Pinterest.
2.  Walk 4 times this week.
3.  Make the returns to stores that need to be done.
I’m so bad at this!  I get too lazy and usually avoid making returns.  Sad, but true.
4.  Read.
I’ve purchased a few books in the past few months and haven’t really been able to stay focused long enough to get anywhere.  I’m going to try this week.
5.  Mail out a few packages.
6.  Work on my blog.


Did you set any goals for yourself this week? 
Tell me about them below in the comments section.


Have a GREAT week!

    Great goals! I’m mailing out several packages today because one of my goals is to be more intentional with my relationships.

    Hi Stacie,

    My goals for this week are to get back to walking this week as long as Tiara is up to it and I need to get some sponsors for my blog! So not good at getting sponsors!

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!💗

Here’s another one-and-done outfit idea for you. Here’s another one-and-done outfit idea for you.💗

Let me know if you want the outfit LINKS sent straight to your messages.🤩

It’s a fabulous strapless lightweight jumpsuit! Just change out your accessories and shoes, maybe add a topper and you’ll be ready for anything.💫

Where would you wear this jumpsuit?💖

This jumpsuit is a cropped length on most, but at a petite 5’1” it is longer on me. It’s great because it accommodates a variety of body types, but I may get it hemmed. Still deciding.🤔
