Life

Optimistic Monday

July 30, 2012

I am back from vacation and pretty proud to say that I kept up with most of my social media life while in NYC and Michigan for the week. Let’s see how my goals for last week panned out…

1. Walk at least 3 times while in NYC

I can’t get enough of NYC and Central Park. I woke up on 3 mornings, put on my walking clothes and walked from Midtown to Central Park and then through Central Park taking in the scenery. Did I say I love Central Park? It’s really an undrstatement. The park was bustling with life! People were out walking, running, riding bikes, walking dogs, nannies played with children, summer camps were picnicing, etc. Then I got in many additional miles walking each day during our sightseeing and shopping. If you have never been, you must make it a point to go! I also got a walk in while in Michigan. The weather was perfect and cool in the morning for a walk.

7/23/12 4.20 miles 7/24/12 4.34 miles 7/25/12 3.26 miles 7/28/12 4.20 miles
2. Stay opened minded when dealing with the relatives

I did it! Total stress free vacation! I just laugh about the fact that there are too many people trying to make decisions at the same time.

3.  Get a few Thank You cards written

I actually wrote out 4 cards while on the plane coming home from vacation! Just a few more to go!

4. Shop, but not til I drop

I really did meet this goal! As you know, I am obsessed with makeup and promised I would only purchase products that I could not buy at home. I stuck to it and only purchased items from Inglot and Gosh. To see my Inglot Haul video click below.

5. Continue to post on my blog

Goal achieved! I put up several posts during the week. I did this by organizing my downtime. It was actually easy to achieve.

6. Count my bessings

You know I do! Each and every day I am thankful for the life I live and the people that are in it.

Goals for this week:
1. First day home get to the grocery store for necessities of our family of 5.
2. Unpack and get things put away rather than sitting in suitcases for days.
3. Walk 3-4 times this week, 3-4 miles each.
4. Take some pictures after reviewing lessons from photography class.
5. Make a little video montage of our trip.
6. Continue to appreciate each and every day!

    Good job on the walking! I just started walking again myself. I am pretty much doing the same distance as you. I would like to increase it a little definitely doing less doesnt feel like a work out at all. I love NY! Have a good week.

Remember this pretty navy strapless dress? I can change up the look in the blink of the eye with my accessories. 

Today I added a lightweight olive color sweater wrap over my shoulders and a neutral cane wristlet. 

I find the little half sweater wrap to be the perfect touch. It adds interest, extra color and a tiny bit of warmth. It comes in dozens of colors and stripes too.

Patience is a virtue… I patiently waited (and s Patience is a virtue…

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

My jewelry is Melinda Maria and you can use code StacieH for 10% off your order.✨

My purse is Spartina 449. Isn’t it divine?!💗

Just say SHOP and I will send you all the outfit details, but you must be following me to receive the message (it’s an IG rule).‼️ 

P.S. I’m 5’1” and mostly wear petites, but this outfit is regular misses sizes. The pants are cropped length on most.💖

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

Comment SHOP for the link to this carefree outfit with sizing details.💖

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖
