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!

There’s no commitment, just a very affordable style fee and so many different themes to choose from. Comment for my LINK which gets you $25 off your first box.

Some handbags are just handbags… and then there ar Some handbags are just handbags… and then there are the ones that feel like a piece of art. #consuela_partner 

I’m loving the Bae City Bag from Consuela! It’s a fun statement piece, but it’s also incredibly versatile. I especially love wearing it crossbody when I want to be hands-free.

And knowing this bag is handcrafted in Mexico with attention given to every detail makes it feel even more special. Every @ConsuelaStyle bag has so much personality and character. 

If you’re already thinking about your Fall wardrobe, you definitely want to take a peek at the Consuela Fall Collection. There are SO many gorgeous bags and accessories to choose from that are fun and functional.

Go check out the collection and tell me which bag is your favorite!

I’ve been using the NEW RoC Line Smoothing 2-Step Peel Pads, and I love how simple they are to use.
 
Step 1 gently exfoliates with a blend of glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and other exfoliating acids to remove dull, rough skin.
 
Step 2 follows with RoC’s patented Clinical Retinol plus Ectoin to help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting your skin barrier. The best part? It takes just a couple of minutes and fits seamlessly into my evening skincare routine.
 
At 61, my skin feels noticeably smoother and looks brighter after using them, and with continued use they’re designed to improve texture, uneven tone, dullness, and the appearance of wrinkles.
 
At around $30 they’re an affordable way to enjoy a professional-inspired peel at home.
 
Are you as excited as I am about this new at-home dual-step treatment?

There’s something about a makeup collection that’s There’s something about a makeup collection that’s beautiful on the outside AND has a beautiful story behind it.

I’m playing with the Chantecaille Lion Collection for the first time today. The gorgeous shades are inspired by the strength and beauty of the lion and the colors of the African landscape.

But what I love most about Chantecaille is that their love of beauty goes beyond makeup. The brand has a long-standing commitment to wildlife conservation, and their lion initiatives supports Lion Guardians and their efforts to protect these magnificent endangered animals and preserve the communities that live alongside them.

And can we talk about these colors?! The warm, earthy tones are absolutely gorgeous for creating a soft, sophisticated makeup look — and yes, it’s a limited-edition collection but I’m already wishing these shades would stay around forever!

Would you wear this color story? Tell me in the comments.

These pieces are from @coldwatercreek where you can get versatile pieces for layering and mixing and matching all season long and then wear them for years to come.

Are you ready for the temperatures to drop too?
