Optimistic Monday

June 3, 2013

Hi Everyone!
I hope you all had a great week and a fabulous weekend!  I’ve recently tried to get back to my Optimistic Monday posts.  As you will see below, goals are not something I’ve been focusing on lately…  
Goals for last week:

1.  Post 2 YouTube videos.
Not even a single video from me!  I have good intentions, but I haven’t had myself together enough to film.  Every time I thought I was going to film I got sidetracked.  I don’t wear makeup half the days in a week and you know I’m not filming while makeup less.  So I just keep pushing videos to the back burner.  They will happen eventually!

2.  3-4 blog posts.
Yes, I got several blog posts up this past week.

3.  Walk at least 12 miles.
I did get some walking in this week but didn’t quite meet my goal.

4.  Attend at least 1 pilates class.
Oops, I didn’t make it to a class.  I really have no excuses.

5.  Start getting things together for my vacation.
We had an unexpected/unplanned trip come up when my son won a recent golf tournament.  The whole family decided to tag along to the UK.  Now I’m just waiting on my renewed passport to arrive…  I haven’t packed at all but have shopped for just a few cold weather items.

6.  Bake something healthy.
I didn’t bake and I barely cooked at all.  It’s just so hard when my husband is traveling all the time and my kids are going in a million different directions.

Goals for this week:
1.  Walk 3 times
2.  Weights workout at home for arms 3x
3. 2 YouTube videos
4.  Pack by Friday
5.  Finish up some thank you cards

I’m going to take it easy this week with my goals since I know things will come up while getting ready for our trip.  I plan to meet up with some YouTube friends while on vacation, so I am SO excited about that.  And of course, going on vacation with my family will be wonderful.  We’re all starting to get pretty excited about it now.  I’ve been doing just a little bit of research on products that I need to buy at the shops there that we don’t have here in the US.  Funny how us makeup obsessed women have that as one of our vacation priorities.

Do you set weekly goals for yourself?  Tell me in the comments below.
Have a great week!

I ordered some of our family faves on Walmart.com using Walmart’s Expess Delivery service straight to our doorstep in just a few hours. It’s incredible how times have changed from our younger days!

My husband and I both love the mild taste of Listerine® Total Care Alcohol Free Mouthwash. It makes us feel like we’re killing all of those extra germs that brushing misses.

Hubby suffers from seasonal allergies and winter is the worst for him. So he relies on ZYRTEC® Allergy Relief Tablets 30ct pack to help him deal with all of his symptoms. He feels relief in an hour and it lasts for a full 24 hours.

We both use Motrin® for any aches, pains or fevers that seem to always sneak up unexpectedly. Fingers crossed that we both stay healthy.

And the BAND-AID® Brand Flexible Fabric Tie-Dye Bandages are for my grandkids because it never seems to fail that someone gets hurt when they visit our house. And a pretty Band-Aid always makes things feel better in a jiffy. These are great because they’re flexible and stretch while providing protection.

Make your list of products to start your year with healthier habits too and use my link to order now.

Note: Only use products as directed.
The classic style shirtdress never disappoints. Do The classic style shirtdress never disappoints. Don’t you agree? Now available in a beautiful new print in the amazing Jude Cloth, which is wrinkle resistant, perfect for travel and looks great from morning to night.

A walk a day keeps the doctor away! I’ve mentioned A walk a day keeps the doctor away! I’ve mentioned before that I try to walk every single day for both the physical and mental benefits I get from it.

And it definitely doesn’t hurt to look cute while doing any form of exercise. I bought a few of the air essentials sweatshirts because they’re so soft and comfortable.

Currently on sale in a bunch of colors so I’m planning to add a few more to my cart. Comment for the LINK.

This post is for the ladies 5’4” and under because This post is for the ladies 5’4” and under because we deserve to have clothes that fit our proportions perfectly without a visit to the tailor.

The beautiful wool cardigan and straight leg jeans are wardrobe staples for me. They’re from Petite Studio NYC, a brand founded by a petite woman who struggled to find clothes that fit right.

You can visit my blog for more info on the brand, these 2 pieces and their Archive Sale. 

Bonus: this is a cute look for Valentine’s Day too!❤️

I must admit that I’m a little bit worn out from this first full week of work for the new year. I’m tired but at the same time I know how blessed and lucky I am that I get to do what I love for my work so I’m not going to complain.💗

Even when I’m busy, I don’t miss my daily walks because I need them for exercise and a clear mind. I thought I’d drop these pics of some of my favorite athletic wear because they’re on sale for up to 40% off right now.🎉
