Optimistic Monday

August 27, 2012

Hi Everyone!
Thanks for joining me again to see how I’m doing with my weekly goals.  Let me know if you set goals for yourself and if so, is it on a daily or weekly basis?
Goals for last week:
1. Clean out my closet!
This was my number one goal since I did not accomplish it the previous week.
I started this massive project, but I have a LONG way to go.  I am a hoarder!  It’s time to get rid of the things that I don’t wear already and to stop hanging on to them for “later.”
2.  Walk 4 times
Yes!  I walked 4 times.  It would have been 5 but I had to take Saturday off because my hip was giving a bit of pain.
8/22/12 4.06 miles, 8/23/12 3.55 miles, 8/24/12 3.32 miles, 8/26/12 4.05 miles
3.  4 blog posts
I went a little bit crazy with blog posts this week…
4.  2-3 Youtube videos
Yes!  Posted just 2 videos for the week.  Don’t want to overwhelm everyone. 
5.  Make another new dessert
No desserts this week.  Everyone seems to be watching their snacking.
6.  Make a new recipe for dinner to conform to my son’s new low carb diet.
I made chicken fajitas in the crock pot.  Believe it or not, I’ve never made these before.

7.  Have a date night with my hubby.
This doesn’t happen nearly enough.  And it didn’t happen this week either.  LOL!  We did go out to dinner on both Friday and Saturday evenings, but the kids came with us.  We never mind having the kids go with us.  Soon enough they will be at college and we will have tons of date nights.


Goals for this week:
1.  Work some more on my blog.
I am finding several blogs that give some great tips.  I decided to add Sponsors to my blog.  If you have a blog or a business to promote please look at sponsorships available in my About Me section.
2.  Finally go and cancel my gym membership that I haven’t used in about 6 months.  
3.   Walk 4 times.  Maybe even add some running this week.
4.  Add 1-2 pilates sessions to my workouts.

5.  Work with my camera this week.
6.  Lunch with girlfriends.
It’s been way too long!  Now that everyone is finally back at school (as of today) I will have more time for friends and I am excited about this!

Have a great week!!

    I could use a good list of goals to get me going. I had a gym membership once… and I never used it either. I’m much more motivated to get outside and do something.

    Hope you have a nice week!

    I’m starting off the week with a goal of working out twice and getting some laundry done before the weekend. Don’t want to spend a holiday weekend inside doing laundry. 🙂

I love getting a box of clothes delivered straight I love getting a box of clothes delivered straight to my door that were curated by my personal stylist.

This is what I received in my recent Wantable Style Edit. I kept 4 out of 9 pieces this time, including exchanging one top for a larger size.

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.

If you like natural makeup looks without the fuss, If you like natural makeup looks without the fuss, then you’ve landed on my page for a reason. 

If you’re new here, my name is Stacie, I’m 61 years young and kind of obsessed with makeup and beauty products that help me look and feel good in my own skin.

I appreciate you watching (especially if you hung around to see Winny at the end) and I hope you’ll check out my other videos to see if we could become friends because I could use more like-minded people in my life who want to build a community together here.💖

Shoutout and a big thank you to the brands that sent me some of these products to try.

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.

I think the heat wave that we’ve all been feeling I think the heat wave that we’ve all been feeling this summer has everyone craving cool temperatures and all the things we love about the Fall season, especially the comfy clothes. #sponsored 

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?
