Optimistic Monday

September 9, 2012

Hi Everyone!
I am back with my Optimistic Monday goals for the week & results for last week.  Let’s see how I did…
Goals for last week:
1.  Walk 4-5 times.

I made sure to get in lots of walking last week since this week will be challenging due to appointments, homecoming and my first blog conference.
9/3/12 4.06 miles, 9/4/12 4.16 miles, 9/6/12 3.07 miles, 9/8/12 3.14 miles, 9/9/12 3.15 miles

2.  Lunch with girlfriends.
I had lunch with my daughter.  Does that count?
I had breakfast with a friend twice this week after we walked.  Lunch is hard to squeeze in right now since I pick my son up from school at 1:10 most days for golf practice.  He will be driving in a few weeks so I am enjoying this time while I can.
3.  Get in a pilates workout.
Not really…  I did just a few basic moves after my walks here and there but never accomplished a full class.  I am pathetic!
4. 4-5 blog posts and 2-3 YouTube videos.
Yes, I have been faithful to both my blog and  my YouTube channel this week.
5.  Cook a new dish for dinner this week from a Pinterest recipe.
Cooking at home was not an event that happened at my house this week.  Everyone is way too busy to stick around for a meal, let alone a meal together.
6.  Order cards for handing out at blog conference.
I ordered some adorable pink damask print cards from the Zazzle website.  Let me tell you, they have such cute stuff that I had a very hard time deciding which design to choose.  I can’t wait to receive these in the mail this week.

Goals for this week:
I am not going to set too many personal goals for this week since I will be busy getting ready for my first blog conference and homecoming at my daughter’s school.  She is a cheerleader and the cheer mom’s have to help prepare the gym for the pep rally.  Since my daughter is a senior this year I am planning to help out even more than the required one night from the past.

1.  Keep up with my blog by posting at least 3 times.
2.  Post at least 2 Youtube videos.
3.  Figure out how to reply to comments on my blog.
4.  Spend more time replying to comments on my Youtube videos.
5.  Get in at least 2 walks this week.
6.  Mail out at least 5 cards/gift cards to my chemo angel patients.

Have a great week everyone!!!
I can’t wait to report back after my first blog conference on Saturday.  So excited!!

    The chemo angels program sounds amazing! My mom just finished chemo and radiation for breast cancer, and I know that she would have loved to receive a card froma stranger during that time. Little things do make such a big difference!

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.💖😇
