Optimistic Monday

November 26, 2012

Goals for last week:
1.  Walk and walk and walk!
I got in 3 walks this week, including Thanksgiving morning!
11/20/12 3.07 miles, 11/22/12 3.14 miles, 11/23/12 3.53 miles

2.  Finish up my project dedicated to the memory of my mom.

I did it!!  If you haven’t seen it yet, the website is Give A Smile Today.

I would really LOVE it if you could all help me spread the word by posting it on your Facebook pages, blogs, twitters, etc!!  I need lots of people to sign up to be card senders.  Thanks so much for your support!!!

3.  Continue my Fall cleaning.
I have made a few strides in this massive project.  Not sure if it is ever actually finished.

4.  Film some YouTube videos.
No videos from me.  I am almost ready to film…

5.  Find a new recipe for something different to include in this year’s Thanksgiving meal.
Nothing new from me at the Thanksgiving meal.  I did make some cookies though over the weekend that were one of my mom’s family recipes.  I also made a new chicken dish one night that was a pretty huge success with my son.

6.  Actually watch some YouTube videos.
I’ve watched a few videos from a few of my YouTube sisterhood.  I need to watch more because my friends make me smile, especially when they are talking about makeup!  

7.  Clean up my email inbox.
Yes and no…  I cleaned out a lot of the old mail but continue to receive more on a daily basis.  Do we ever really catch up on on this task?
Goals for this week:
1.  Get in 4 walks this week.
2.  Film at least 2 YouTube videos.  I really miss this!!
3.  Make 2 new things from Pinterest.  It might be food or it might be a craft.
4.  Start some holiday shopping.  There wasn’t any Black Friday shopping for me.  I’m still contemplating Cyber Monday.
5.  Relax a little and read a book (fiction and happy things only).
6.  Kick off my Give A Smile Today card sending on December 1st.  I will need to organize my system before then.

Once again, I invite you to post your goals on your blog or any other optimistic type post and link up here with me!  Please feel free to grab a button from my sidebar.


Optimistic Monday

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️

Who else is ready for Summer?😎👙🍉🌻👗⛱️🧴☀️

There’s just something about the long slow days and nights of summer that brings back so many fond memories over the past 60 years.

Next week is Memorial Day weekend which I think officially kicks off the season with outdoor bbqs, swimming all day, popsicles, sundresses and sleeveless tops, beach days, vacations and unfortunately, mosquitoes.

What’s one of your favorite summer memories?🥰

I had a pinch me moment this weekend because I had I had a pinch me moment this weekend because I had the pleasure of meeting Julie Vos, founder of her gorgeous namesake jewelry brand.💖✨💖

Her one and only retail location debuted in Dallas, Texas  and you’d better believe I was there for it.💖 

Not only is Julie an amazing designer/artist, but she is so kind. She greeted and spoke to every person in the store.

Each piece of her beautiful jewelry is made from high quality 24k gold plate over nickel-free brass and sealed to prevent tarnish.

There’s something for everyone’s style. I may have tried on every piece in the store!😅

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.💖😇
