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!

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.

This week’s Friday finds are all beauty products t This week’s Friday finds are all beauty products that have been working great for my 61 year old mature skin to get a more youthful glowy appearance.

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.
I’m kinda giddy over here because I get to use thi I’m kinda giddy over here because I get to use this beautiful Louis Vuitton handbag for a month. I borrowed it from Vivrelle and their membership service. They have hundreds or maybe even thousands of luxury designer bags to choose from. 

Comment CODE for the link and my discount code that gets you 50% off your first two months.

It’s a great way to try beautiful bags without committing to a single bag. I’m having so much fun with this membership!👜

Thank you @vivrelle for the gift of this membership!
I’ve always been obsessed with pizza. I’ve attempt I’ve always been obsessed with pizza. I’ve attempted to make it at home many times and had too many failures to count. But not any more thanks to @pocobero and their delivery of NY-style pizza dough balls shipped straight to my door. 

I had my kids and grandchildren over for swimming and make-your-own-pizzas this weekend. It was a total success. The flavor of the pizza crust was absolutely delicious. It tasted as good as being in a NYC pizzeria.

I see many more pizzas in my future.😎

I put all the veggies on my pizza. What are your favorite toppings?🍕🫑🍄‍🟫🧅

Thank you Poco Bero for the amazing gift!♥️
New series… Every Friday I will be sharing some ne New series… Every Friday I will be sharing some new product finds with you that were sent to me as PR for review or that I purchased. The good stuff needs to be shared and talked about for sure.
 
Question… do you want to see the duds too?

Today I shared jewelry from @analuisany that I have pretty much worn every single day for the last month. It lives up to its claims. I’m wearing a beautiful nude colored plumping tinted lip oil and silky lip liner from @purcosmetics and I love them too. They’re great everyday shades.
