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

Another incredible family reunion is in the books. Another incredible family reunion is in the books. Somehow I think it felt a little extra special this year.♥️

This was year number 46 for my husband’s annual family reunion and golf tournament in Michigan. We’re already looking forward to next year.🥰
If you’re wondering where I’ve been the last few d If you’re wondering where I’ve been the last few days, I’m in Michigan for our annual family reunion. And I must say, the weather here has been in the 70’s during the day which makes me not miss the heat wave back at home in Texas one bit.

Running quick errands on a hot day calls for a loose fitting dress and comfortable sneakers.

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.
