Optimistic Monday

October 29, 2012

It’s time for my Optimistic Monday post.  I am trying to get back to setting my goals each and letting y’all know how I do at accomplishing them.  I’d love to do this post as a weekly link up some time in the future.  Let me know if you’d be interested in participating.  You don’t have to set many goals each week.  Start small.  I think it helps to keep me accountable by writing my goals down.

Goals for last week:
1.  Walk 3 times.
Yes, I made it a point to get out there and get my head cleared a little bit on my walks.  I am a “thinker” and this time is great for “thinking.”  I had 3 shorter walks this week.  I am glad to have gotten back in the swing of things.
10/22/12 3.19 miles, 10/23/12 3.10 miles, 10/25/12 2.51 miles
It’s so peaceful walking the trails by the lake
2.  Write some thank you cards.
I actually wrote a few, but need to get my act together as far as thank you cards go.

3.  Clean out my closet (or at least part of it)
I started this ginormous task.  I went through most of my pants.  This is what led me to try them all on and realize that they are mostly all too big since I have lost some weight.  This led me to go shopping for new pants.  Such a vicious cycle.  LOL!

4.  Cook dinner on 2 nights.  Preferably something new and at least a little bit exciting.
I did cook several nights this week.  Nothing really new though.  It’s so hard to cook at our house since my husband travels and my son is on a crazy teenage boy athlete low carb diet.  I did make some desserts this week.  I posted a few that I wanted to try from Pinterest.  I was able to make the Peanut Butter Chip Banana Bread.  It was pretty wonderful!  I think next time I will just make it as mini muffins instead.  It was very rich for me so I would only need a little bit at a time.  The picture below is my actual finished product.


5.  Film at least 2 YouTube videos and write at least 4 blog posts.
I filmed 2 videos, but only uploaded one.  I will be uploading a few this week.  However, I have been pretty good at posting at least 4 blog posts per week.
Goals for this week:
1.  Walk 3-4 times at least 3 miles each
2.  Film at least 3 Youtube videos, including a few reviews
3.  4-5 Blog posts, including a few beauty product reviews
4.  Make 2 of the amazing oatmeal recipes I saved from Pinterest last week
(I’m kind of craving the cookies and oatmeal breakfast muffins)
5.  Continue the daunting task of cleaning out my closet…

Have a great week!!

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!💫

Sunday funny… Yes, this is how I think!🙃 The Sunday funny… Yes, this is how I think!🙃

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.

I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of S I recently went to the Southlake, TX location of Skin Pharm for a little Dysport refresh with the incredible Rebekah.💖

I really appreciate her knowledge and skill, but what impresses me the most is the way she listens to my concerns about my aging skin and she does everything she can to help make me feel more confident.

She educated me on the latest products and treatments available and we decided together that Skinvive is something that I might want to try in the future. Have you heard of it? It purely for hydration and not for volume.

You can see my highlights with my previous treatments at Skin Pharm too.

Skin Pharm is a clinician-founded, female-led cosmetic dermatology practice with locations in several states including TX, GA, NC, SC and TN. 

Oh, and their skincare products are amazing! You can purchase them right from their website too! I highly recommend their cleansers, the eye sculpt cream, the Youth Serum and the new Face Whip.💫

✨Right now they’re running a special where you get FREE cleanser AND Crystal Clear with any treatment  through 5/30/25.✨

Book your appointment at @skinpharm asap so they can take care of you too!

I absolutely loved all the dresses and accessories I absolutely loved all the dresses and accessories I tried on! I ended up buying the orange striped shirtdress that day, picked up another one a few days later, and I'm still dreaming of one more.🤦🏻‍♀️

Now, bring on that beach vacation or call me to go to brunch! I’m ready and I have the perfect dress!👗 

Comment SHOP for the links and sizing info.🥰
