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?

Anyone else love a makeup look that enhances what you already have instead of covering it up? 💕

I will add stories with the products I used and then put them in a highlight.😎

Tell me in the comments: What’s the one makeup product you absolutely can’t leave the house without?

There’s something about a soft shade of pink and a touch of sparkle that feels effortlessly elegant. Add crystal-embellished heels, and suddenly an ordinary moment feels a little more special.

I’ve reached the stage of life where I wear the pretty outfit, the special shoes, and my favorite lipstick—no waiting required. 💕

What’s one thing in your closet you should be wearing more often?😎

That’s what Wantable is all about. This was my recent box of Spring Bestsellers that I finally had a chance to try on. It’s always fun to mix and match to make a few outfits.

They have some really fun themes to choose from right now, including one for men (fun for Father’s Day). My next box is called The Coastal Edit.🦞

Happy new week! This palm leaf shirtdress is givin Happy new week! This palm leaf shirtdress is giving instant beach vacation vibes to my day. 

💖Comment for LINKS with sizing details.⬅️

It’s a bit heavier weight than the striped gauze shirtdress that I recently shared because it’s a rayon and cotton blend. It’s currently on sale (today) for a great deal and includes free shipping!🎉

It’s an all around versatile style dress that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, church, vacation, work and more.

This dress was gifted to me in partnership with @lovechicos

I’ve always been an optimistic, smile-first kind of person. Not because life is perfect, but because I’ve learned that joy is often a choice we make in the middle of the messy, ordinary, beautiful moments.

Today, I’m choosing gratitude, fresh air and a pretty dress.💜

What’s something that’s making you smile lately? I’d love to hear it. 😊
