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!

One dress that can pretty much be worn year round… yes, please! Just change the shoes and accessories and create a whole new look. #ad 

In the meantime, I’m loving this versatile style from @coldwatercreek that can be worn to brunch or lunch, to the office, or even for a night out on the town this Fall season.

It’s a soft knit that couldn’t be more comfortable. It looks great styled with a belt too.

Be sure to visit coldwatercreek.com for all of their new Fall styles or comment SHOP for links.

Just a few vacation highlights while we were able Just a few vacation highlights while we were able to enjoy some sunny outdoor fun.

Currently enjoying the same views, but from under an umbrella. No complaints from me!

Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of mine is the vertical lip lines in and above my lips. 

When @rebekahstarkey_np told me about this type of treatment, I was intrigued (but nervous). I did my research and decided it was time to just go for it. 

The numbing cream and Rebekah’s skill and attention to detail made a huge difference. I didn’t feel a thing and I’m so excited to see the difference in a few short weeks.

Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid treatment that is used for hydration, texture and radiance.

Yes, I did have some swelling and bruising, but things are already looking better.

Skin Pharm started in Nashville and now has locations in Texas, Georgia, Florida, the Carolina’s and opening soon in IL. Check to see if they have one near you for all of your cosmetic dermatology needs to help you feel more confident too!💖

Since I’m trying to use more clean sustainable products both in my home and on my body, I wanted to share an online marketplace for 1000’s of carefully curated and vetted essentials including cleaning products that are free of harsh chemicals, clean beauty products, expert curated vitamins and SO MUCH MORE!

My first box arrived at my home last week and I was so happy to see everything that I ordered including some clean beauty products to take on this vacation.

In fact, I’m over here ordering a few more things to change out nearly all of my home cleaning supplies to healthier options (great prices too).

Enjoy your day! I’m relaxing under an umbrella on the beach in Cabo today.🏖️

One dress, two looks!✨ This soft + comfy green One dress, two looks!✨

This soft + comfy green knit tank dress from Coldwater Creek comes with a matching long sleeve sweater for endless styling options. #ad

Wear it during the day as a tank style and switch it up for the night with the cropped sweater when the temperature cools off.

It’s flattering, fun, and available in multiple colors—perfect for every body. 

I love wearing it with the tall black boots and adding a few finishing touches.
