Optimistic Monday

August 20, 2012

Hi Everyone!  I hope you all had a great week.  Mine was pretty good.  I shopped for makeup and beauty products (that I didn’t need).  Makeup makes me happy, so I splurged just a little.  Haul video coming real soon.  Now I am off to my Optimistic Monday…

Goals from last week:
1.Walk 4 times.
I am happy to report that I walked 5 times this week!
8/13/12 3.02 miles, 8/14/12 3.75 miles, 8/17/12 3.04 miles, 8/18/12 3.19 miles, 8/19/12 4.04 miles
2.  Bake a new recipe for dessert.
I made homemade ice cream (Snickerdoodle) using a recipe from the Six Sister’s Blog on Pinterest.  It was way too sweet for my liking.  I also made Peach Sherbert using a recipe in my Vitamix cookbook.
You can see the hole where we have been having “tastes”
3.  Make a new dish for dinner rather than the old standbys.
I made a stir fry that I had not made in months.  Does that count?  I was just happy that I actually cooked 4 dinners this week.
4.  Take more pictures after hopefully learning new camera skills.
I am still working on getting to know my camera.  I am SO happy that I took the plunge and purchased a DSLR!  I love my camera!
5.  Organize my blog schedule on paper so that I can keep up with it better.
I started by purchasing a new purse size organizer/calendar that I have started filling out so I can remember when I have particular blogs, links etc. coming up.
6.  Begin to clean out my closet (once again)

I think the goal for this week will be to go though my shoes and donate what I don’t wear.  
I confess that this one just did not get done.   I guess I will need to move it to this week’s goals.

Goals for this week:
1. Clean out my closet!
This is my number one goal since I did not accomplish it last week.
2.  Walk 4 times
3.  4 blog posts
4.  2-3 Youtube videos
5.  Make another new dessert
6.  Make a new recipe for dinner to conform to my son’s new low carb diet.
7.  Have a date night with my hubby.
This doesn’t happen nearly enough.

Do you set goals?
Have a great week!

    I love that you post your goals each week! Is there a reason that your son is following a low carb diet?

Happy new month friends! I’m sharing a cute outfit Happy new month friends! I’m sharing a cute outfit that’s perfect for a summer day of running my errands. My new large terry cloth tote is so fun and unique. It’s great for travel or even a day at the beach too.

Anybody traveling for the 4th of July weekend? We’re going to our usual destination where we hang with our kids and grandkids to enjoy the celebration which means I will be busy today getting ready to go.🎆

😎 Be sure to check out the fun quilted tote. Comment for the LINK.👜

Thank you @seamariedesigns for the beautiful bag!
Dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in one of Dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in one of my favorite vacation places wearing one of my favorite dresses with my most favorite person in the world. 

Scroll to the right to see the back of this gorgeous pleated dress that packs into a little pouch making it travel friendly. It’s currently on sale too!☀️

Comment for the LINK.

The maxi dress has a raw hem so it’s super easy to cut without having to get it hemmed. That worked out perfectly for me and my petite 5’1” height. I cut 3 inches off the bottom of the dress and now it fits me exactly how I like it. I love the color too!

I’m loving the back of the dress so I thought I’d share it in a video when we were walking back from the restaurant after dinner. The restaurant is called Hacienda and it’s by the marina in Cabo. We’ve been going there for years. This trip we went there for brunch too and it was excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner if you’re ever in Cabo.
Beach vacation makeup is all about looking fresh, Beach vacation makeup is all about looking fresh, glowy, and effortless. ☀️🌴

*Let me know if you want DETAILS on what I used.*

Whether I’m spending days or nights by the water, I skip the heavy, full-coverage products and reach for lightweight favorites that let my skin breathe while still giving me that healthy, radiant glow.

Think: sheer coverage, a touch of bronzer, creamy blush, and plenty of luminosity. The goal isn’t a perfect makeup look—it’s looking like the best version of yourself while enjoying every minute of vacation.

Are you a full-face-on-vacation girl, or do you keep your makeup light and simple when you’re at the beach? Tell me below! ⬇️

We always have our favorite restaurants that we go We always have our favorite restaurants that we go to when we’re in Cabo. Toro is one of them and I finally started making my husband take a picture out front these last few years. Swipe to see the previous years and read the captions for each slide to see what I love about this restaurant… ➡️

(Separate picture captions is a new Instagram feature if you didn’t already know that)

I love that they have live music playing out on the patio almost every time we’re there. The band was exceptional this time. They played cover songs and sounded amazing.🎶

The food is excellent. I love that they have some vegetarian options. I always get their delicious beet salad. This time I also got the vegetarian empanadas and had a big scoop of mashed potatoes which were heavenly with crisped parmesan cheese on top.😋

This outfit checked all the boxes for my flight to Cabo, brunch and a few hours of looking at real estate. 

@coldwatercreek has some great options for layering any time of year. And I must admit, I’m kind of obsessed with this linen jacket. I might need to add another color.😉
I’m going on vacation to Cabo, but I could also go I’m going on vacation to Cabo, but I could also go to a garden party, a bridal shower, date night or even wear this beautiful ruffle tiered dress to a summer wedding. Talk about versatile! I played it up with some fun colorful accessories too.

I’m a petite 5’1” and am wearing size small, so it’s longer on me. Dress gifted by @maggylondon 💗

I’m 61 and I love wearing a good midi or maxi dress. If that’s your thing too, be sure to follow because I have a bunch of new ones coming up here on my page.
