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?

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! 💕

The LYMA Laser Pro isn’t just another beauty device—it’s the only large-format cold laser designed for home use, delivering professional-level technology without heat, pain, or downtime.

If you’ve been curious about whether it’s worth the investment, this is for you.

Drop your questions in the comments, save this reel for later, and comment “LYMA” if you’d like more details.
