Optimistic Monday

November 5, 2012

Welcome to my very first Optimistic Monday party!!

This will be my regular Optimistic Monday post that I post each week.  However, if you have a blog and want to do a similar post and link up below, I’d love to have you!  I love reading about other people’s goals for the week and if they accomplish them.  So, even if you don’t write a blog, please visit the other blog party posts and see what’s going on with the others.

Goals from last week:
1.  Walk 3-4 times at least 3 miles each
I actually had my walking buddy this week.  Yay!  We had our walks, Starbucks and chats.
10/29/12 3.41 miles, 10/30//12 3.21 miles, 10/31/12 3.18 miles, 11/2/12 3.14 miles
2.  Film at least 3 Youtube videos, including a few reviews
Yes, I was able to get 3 videos up this week.
3.  4-5 Blog posts, including a few beauty product reviews
Yes, I posted on my blog 5 times this week.
4.  Make 2 of the amazing oatmeal recipes I saved from Pinterest last week
I only made one of the recipes this week.  It was the Cherry Oatmeal cookies.  They were fabulous!  The problem with baking (for me) is that I want to eat and eat…  So, I packed a bunch of cookies and brought them to my daughter at college.  I guess I need to start baking things that I don’t like so I won’t eat them.  I also made some simple Glazed Pork Chops for the family one night from a Pinterest recipe.  I think I am getting a little bit addicted to Pinterest.
5.  Continue the daunting task of cleaning out my closet…
Little by little I am getting there

Goals for this week:
1.  Try to figure out how to do the link up party for this post…  Hopefully I figured it out before posting this on Monday morning.
2.  Walk 3 times
3.  Cook or bake something new.
4.  Start organizing my thoughts on  how to set something up to reach out to cancer patients and others who are ill.  I want to do some sort of system where people can make cards, send cards, etc. to those who are in need of a smile.  I will figure it out soon.
5.  Do some research on ways to improve my blog, find my tribe, etc.

Seriously though, I don’t like to spend too much time on a routine. This hair tool has been the most fun purchase for my haircare tools arsenal.

Comment for the LINK along with the products I used to color my roots this week, my shampoo and conditioner as well as my secret anti-frizz product.😉
Who else loves personalized jewelry? I adore monog Who else loves personalized jewelry? I adore monograms and anything personalized!💖

These necklaces and bracelet are all from mint&lily. They’re waterproof, which makes me happy so I don’t have to worry about wearing them in the shower.

They have a huge selection of everyday pieces that can also be personalized and they make the best gifts!

At 61 years old, I’ve never been able to consisten At 61 years old, I’ve never been able to consistently use a retinol product until now because I couldn’t handle the dry, irritated skin that I experienced when using them. #OlayPartner

@olay has this new Retinol 24 Starter that’s intentionally made for beginners and/or people with sensitive skin like me. I’m now able to get the “gold standard” benefits recommended by dermatologists with this gentler formula to help smooth fine lines and wrinkles, fade dark spots and improve texture.

It’s formulated with Pro-Retinol, Triple Collagen Peptide and Aloe Vera to reveal the smoother, brighter skin that’s been unreachable until now.

And if you’re a long-time user of retinol products, they have several stronger formulas that you can check out too.

New users and those of us with sensitive skin can conveniently purchase this gentler formula at our favorite retailers or online. Give it a try. I think you’ll be as impressed as I am.

Tell me in the comments the number one goal you want to achieve for your skin.

GRWM with clean beauty products — because looking GRWM with clean beauty products — because looking your best at any age isn’t about looking younger. It’s about looking like the best version of you.

At 61, I’m all about makeup that enhances my features, works well with mature skin, and still lets me look like me. I don’t want to hide behind my makeup, and I don’t think any of us need to. With the right products and techniques, makeup can simply bring out what’s already there.

I used all clean beauty makeup products to create a fresh, natural, polished look that feels good without feeling overdone.

If you’re a woman over 50—or 40, 60, or 70—and you’re looking for clean beauty, natural makeup for mature skin, makeup tips for mature skin, anti-aging makeup techniques, or natural-looking makeup that enhances instead of covers, this one is for you. ✨

Beauty doesn’t have an expiration date. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable and confident.💕

Save this GRWM for your next makeup day and tell me: do you prefer a natural makeup look or something a little more glam?

As a 61 year old woman who gets to try so many new As a 61 year old woman who gets to try so many new beauty and skincare products, these are some of my favorites over the last few weeks of the summer that I would repurchase again and only 1 fail.

As a matter of fact, I already repurchased the vitamins and prebiotics and probiotics supplement. I didn’t know Kourtney Kardashian was the owner of that brand. I only had 1 fail this time which was the terrible tasting creatine gummies. I don’t like stevia, but if you do then you may like with them. 

Thanks for being here! Don’t forget to like, comment, *repost, save and/or share this post to help my content get seen by a wider community. I appreciate your support so much and you never know who else might be looking for the very thing I’m sharing today. And don’t forget to let me know if you want the LINKS!
