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 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 used this membership service to pick out a handbag bag to borrow for the month. They have bags to borrow from luxury brands like Chanel, YSL, Hermes, Fendi, Dior and so many more! It’s a fun way to carry a gorgeous bag without the commitment of owning it.

I’m over here with no regrets on breaking all the I’m over here with no regrets on breaking all the old fashioned rules of “no long hair” nor “dark hair” on a mature woman.😎

It was fun doing highlights in my hair for a little while, but I was ready to get back to my roots. I’m thrilled with my summer hair because it looks so much healthier.🤩

I always go with what I like, not what society dictates when it comes to clothes, makeup, hairstyles and more because I think we should all do what makes us feel happy and confident in ourselves.

Are you a rule breaker too?😉
Summer mornings call for light layers and these pi Summer mornings call for light layers and these pieces answered the calling perfectly!
