Optimistic Monday

September 3, 2012

Hi Everyone!  
I hope you had a great week and met a few goals that you set for yourself.  I had a good week despite not hitting every one of my goals.

Goals for last week:
1.  Work some more on my blog.
Yes!  I found a few sites that have been so helpful.
2.  Finally go and cancel my gym membership that I haven’t used in about 6 months.  
Yes, I finally cancelled the gym membership.  What a great feeling!
3.   Walk 4 times.  Maybe even add some running this week.
I only walked 3 times this week.  We had some company in town and my time was not my own for the entire week.  I had to entertain a few days which interfered with my schedule.
8/27/12 3.12 miles, 8/28/12 3.06 miles, 8/30/12 3.26 miles
4.  Add 1-2 pilates sessions to my workouts.

I am sad to say that this one just did not happen.

5.  Work with my camera this week.

I did get to play around with my camera, including pictures and video at my daughter’s first pep rally of the school year.

Please note, the theme of the pep rally was Nerds!
6.  Lunch with girlfriends.
No girlfriends this week.  Lunches were with my hubby or my son.

Goals for this week:
1.  Walk 4-5 times.
2.  Lunch with girlfriends.
3.  Get in a pilates workout.
Either attend a class or do a DVD at home.
4. 4-5 blog posts and 2-3 YouTube videos.
5.  Cook a new dish for dinner this week from a Pinterest recipe.
6.  Order cards for handing out at blog conference.

I know I’m supposed to bring these with me to the conference that is in less than two weeks.  I am so excited to attend my first blogger’s conference.  Anybody else going? 


Have a GREAT week!

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.
I’ve learned that confidence doesn’t come from try I’ve learned that confidence doesn’t come from trying to look younger—it comes from feeling good in your own skin and enjoying the life you’re living.

I’d love to hear from you… What’s one little thing that always makes your day better? A favorite lipstick? Getting dressed in an outfit you love? Your morning skincare routine? A walk outside? Enjoying time with friends and family? Tell me in the comments! 💕
