Since it was Christmas yesterday, you got a break from your Monday morning workout, but that doesn’t mean you can take today off too. 😉
This 15-minute workout used cardio to target the belly fat and tone your abs. Having strong abs not only helps you to look better but it will also improve your posture as well as decrease back pain.
Remember to keep proper form, warm up before, and stretch after you exercise!

I have been using the Loreal Revitalift Intensive Anti-aging Day cream Moisturizer for about six months now. Along with a few other skin care products in my routine, I have seen a huge improvement in my skin’s overall condition.
The product claims are “Visibly reduce wrinkles. Re-firm skin. Smooth skin’s texture.” I’m not going to say that it has made my “wrinkles” and fine lines go away, or maybe even lessen, but I feel as if using this moisturizer consistently has helped to make my skin look brighter and more youthful. I have not noticed any “re-firming” but I have noticed an increased smoothness to my skin’s overall texture.
It is a medium consistency off-white cream that absorbs quickly into the skin making it perfect for being worn under makeup. It provides a deep moisture to the skin without feeling thick, greasy, or heavy on the skin. Not too much is needed, and I find that if I apply too much at once it does seem to ball up on itself.
“Visibly reduce wrinkles. Re-firm skin. Smooth skin’s texture.

Did you know that Walmart has it’s own subscription beauty box? Yup, they do! It is a quarterly box and only costs $5 a season.
Walmart technically calls it a “sample box” and says that the box itself is free and the $5 is a flat rate for shipping and handling. Either way, the box costs $5 each season.
In your Walmart Beauty Box, you can expect to find around 7-9 samples. Sometimes there are even a few full-sized makeup samples.
How does it work?
The Walmart beauty box website says
“Each subscriber will be charged upon receiving an order confirmation (locking in your box for the season).
If you do not receive an order confirmation, please check your account information to make sure the payment and shipping information in your account is up to date (as well as check your junk mail). Following the order confirmation email is a shipping confirmation, once you receive the shipping confirmation email you can expect a delivery within 5-10 business days. Each seasonal Beauty Box is a limited edition and may sell out at any time. Note: Beauty products may vary by box.”
There are two different types of boxes available, the classic and the trendsetter. Up until recently, only one box could be sent per email address, but that has been changed. I now receive both boxes.
Here is what I got in this season’s boxes:
4 sample products and 4 foil packets product 2 perfume samples
One of the things we got in this season’s Trendsetter box is a Donkey Milk Sleeping Mask. Sounds weird and pretty interesting at the same time.
6 sample sized products. I’m not super impressed with these boxes, especially considering I know what I used to receive in these boxes last year…
Seriously though, where is the Dove deodorant? I think that I have gotten 9 so far, so I was expecting another one to make it an even 10! 😉
So that you can get an idea of what is usually included in the beauty boxes I have added a few of the recent past Walmart beauty boxes.
Here is what I received in my Summer 2017 Classic Box
Here is what I received in my Summer 2017 Trendsetter Box
Here is what I received in my Spring 2017 Trendsetter Box
Here is what I received in my Spring 2017 Classic Box a special “Me Moment” box
For only $5USD four times a year, this is a great subscription box to receive.
What about you? do you get this Walmart Beauty Box? Do you get any other subscription bags/boxes that are worth trying out? Let me know in the comments below.

I love the site Zappos.com! While it is best known for its shoes, Zappos.com sells all kinds of great items!
Here are a few of my favorite items that I have gotten from Zappos!
I love my pink Chucks Taylors! I have a pair in purple as well. My daughter is a huge fan of Chucks as well and has a teal and black pair. You can never go wrong pairing Chucks with any casual look.
Converse Chuck Taylor® All Star® Core Ox
These Brooks Adrenaline GTS are my all-time favorite workout shoes! I have bought a new pair every year since 2014! I have wider feet, and these sneakers provide great support in a wide option.
I don’t personally own these beautiful furry boots from SOREL Joan of Arctic, but my friend does and I can’t help but admire them every time she wears them!
I love a well fitted puffy jacket! They are stylish yet warm. I hate winter because I don’t like being cold. These types of coats will keep you extremely warm without feeling like you are wearing a 25 lb coat. I have a similar coat to this in a shorter style. I absolutely love it1
The North Face Metropolis Parka II $288.95
Up until this year, I NEVER wore booties. I don’t know what I was thinking because I am now in love with them! These super cute booties can be worn with a skirt, skinny jeans, or leggings…the options are endless!
Speaking of leggings…Spanks now makes leggings. Um… match made in heaven!!! They sell these such leggings at Zappos!
Spanx Seamless Print Leggings $68
I love the look of these Columbia Irvington LTR Chukka WP There is just something about a nice stylish men’s shoe!
My husband has two of these Agave Denim Hollow Long Sleeve Henley 9GG Heather shirts. They look so nice on him. The cut and style of the shirts make they look stylish while yet they still feel comfortable and casual.
I love Michael Kors! I feel like his fashion line always has such great style! You can never go wrong picking something from his line! Zappos, has so many Michael Kors products available! Whether you are looking for clothes or handbags or watches or sunglasses. You can find them all at Zappos.
I am really hoping that I will be getting a MICHAEL Michael Kors Mercer Medium Messenger $228 for Christmas this year! Zappos has it available in white, black, and red. I’m hoping to get mine in pink or cement…we’ll see…I’ll keep you posted 😉
How incredibly cute are these kids Michael Kors Kids Parson 14 (Toddler/Little Kid/Big Kid) I wish they had them in my size at that price! My daughter loves her Michale Kors boots!

Boxy charm is a$21/month/box subscription that includes 5 luxury and indie brand products. Instead of sample sizes like some other subscription boxes/bags, Boxycharm has full sized products. It ships to the US and Canada.
Each month the value of the box is usually over $120. It is a great way to try out different higher priced brands without spending a lot of money. I’ve received products from brands such as Tarte, Cover Fx, Becca, Dr. Brandt, and Bare Minerals.
I love that they include a card with the product’s info and pricing on it. There are usually a few product variations each month between the boxes that are sent out. This month there were three different possible boxes. I got box number one, as indicated by the number 1 in the lower right-hand corner of the info card.
Here is what I got in my box this month:
“BelláPierre’s professional color correcting concealer palette is formulated with rich creamy good for your skin ingredients. Helping create a flawless healthy complexion.”
Thankfully I don’t usually need to color correct my skin, so I’m not into this at all. I would never pay $30 for this, but the box is still a great value despite this being a giveaway product for me. It smells exactly like a box of crayons.
FYI: Orange is great for masking dark circles under the eyes. Green is helpful for diminishing redness, and the purple shade is supposed to help to give brightness to the skin. Remember that if you color correct, you need to have really good high coverage foundation and concealer as well.
“With super soft, dense synthetic bristles, this brush can be used with both powder and cream blushes, and provides medium to full coverage for a more dramatic finish.”
It is incredibly soft, but a bit dense to be used as a blush brush. It is still a great brush that I’m sure I will be using for something else.
“A jet-black mascara that has a molded brush that grabs and coats even the tiniest lashes for 2700% more volume.”
Ummm, 2700% more volume? Is that even a measurable amount.
I’m not really a big fan of the brush on this mascara. It is the type that has the stiff plastic bristles. 
I love tarte! It is probably one of my top 5 all-time favorite makeup brands. The packaging is super sleek! I can’t decide if I love or hate this mascara…when I first put it on my lashes look amazing! Then as the day goes on it just kinda disappears. I don’t know where it goes? It doesn’t flake or smudge, it just vanishes. At work the other day, I looked into the mirror and it looked as if I forgot to apply mascara to my lashes. I was not happy about that! Has anyone else used this mascara and had that happen?
“Treat your cheeks to a multi-dimensional, natural flush with this RealHer Blush Kit- Be Fearless, Be Limitless”
While I personally don’t own anything else from the brand Real Her, I know that they have included products in past Boxycharm boxes. I don’t know how popular this brand is because through Boxycharm is the only other time that I have heard of them.
This blush kit features 3 shades: sparkly pink-fearless, matte peach-limitless, and shimmering bronze-unstoppable. They are not very pigmented, but can be built up. So if you are someone that doesn’t like a lot of blush, these would be great fo you!
“A highly pigmented liquid lipstick that provides a radiant metallic finish, nice comfortable creamy texture, and a citrus cordial flavor.”
Pretty Vulgar has some gorgeous packaging! I feel like their prices are a bit high, but that being said…I’m almost considering buying another one of these liquid lipsticks and I usually hate liquid lipstick.
I have fallen madly in love with this My Lips Are Sealed lightweight liquid lipsticks. I have the shade 105 Weeping Willow. It’s a beautiful rosy bronze shade. The formula is so awesome and comfortable. These are available in 8 shades at Sephora
Originally, I was only planning on getting Boxy Charm for three months, I have loved everything so much so far that I signed on for another three months. This is my 5th Boxycharm Box, one more to go. Not sure if I am going to continue after January, I am thinking about trying out FabFitFun next. I’ll keep you posted!

There are often times that I start thinking… and one thing leads to another… and my thoughts stray from what is honest, just, pure, lovely and of good report.**
It is during these times that I not only pray for help and encouragement and read scriptures to remind me of God’s goodness and grace, but I also surround myself with praise songs.
Today has been one of these days… A song that has been speaking to my heart this morning is What A Beautiful Name by Hillsong Worship.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
I hope that you can find some encouragement from this song today as well.
