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!

My first Jude Connally dress and now I get the hyp My first Jude Connally dress and now I get the hype! 🙌

This new Fall print + the classic shirtdress style = perfection. Made from their signature Jude Cloth, it’s stretchy, wrinkle-free, machine-washable, and always keeps its shape (which makes it perfect for travel too). Basically, the easiest dress ever—comfort and a polished look in one! 🍂✨

This style is available in several prints and solids. It’s a wardrobe staple.

Would you style this with boots or heels?

💖Let me know if you’d like me to send you the LINKS for my outfit!💖

Don’t let the seasons fool you, SPF is a year-ro Don’t let the seasons fool you, SPF is a year-round necessity! Protect that skin, rain or shine!

If you grew up in the 70’s and 80’s and even the 90’s, then you probably remember that getting a tan was cool. Oh, how we were fooled!

Now we’re all suffering with sun damage and are maybe looking a little bit (or a lot) older than we want. 

I’m always exploring new sunscreens and this one is a winner! It’s super lightweight and easy to apply. Thanks Shiseido!

Personalized and sentimental jewelry is my favorit Personalized and sentimental jewelry is my favorite because of the meaning behind it. This necklace from @haverhill checks all the boxes and then some! It’s meant to be passed down between generations.

It’s all handcrafted with solid 14K gold and gemstones. Everything is ethically sourced and sustainably made right here in the USA.

 I chose a necklace with 2 initials with 2 gemstones (mine and my husband’s initials). I love that I can wear it without worrying about it tarnishing because of the high quality materials that it’s made with. I almost never take it off.

Be sure to visit their website (haverhill.com) if you’re looking for meaningful jewelry items for yourself or someone you love.
