Matthew West – Broken Things

December 10, 2017December 6, 2017 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

This song has been running through my head the last few days. I love that God can take someone who is broken and still use me!

If grace was a kingdom
I stopped at the gate
Thinking I don’t deserve to pass through after all the mistakes that I’ve made

After all the mistakes that I’ve made

Oh but I heard a whisper
As Heaven bent down
Said, “Child, don’t you know that the first will be last and the last get a crown”

Now I’m just a beggar in the presence of a King
I wish I could bring so much more
But if it’s true You use broken things
Then here I am Lord, I’m all Yours

You use broken things

The pages of history they tell me it’s true.
That it’s never the perfect; it’s always the ones with the scars that You use

It’s the rebels and the prodigals; it’s the humble and the weak
All the misfit heroes You chose
Tell me there’s hope for sinners like me

It’s always the ones with the scars that You use

Now I’m just a beggar in the presence of a King
I wish I could bring so much more
But if it’s true You use broken things
Then here I am Lord, I’m all Yours

Grace is a kingdom
With gates open wide

Grace is a kingdom
With gates open wide
There’s a seat at the table just waiting for you
So, come on inside

Nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God. Romans 8:39

Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray

December 9, 2017August 16, 2023 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood2 Comments

~Weekly Product Highlight~ Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray ~

Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray

For a while, I have been going back and forth between growing my hair out and cutting it into a pixie cut. As for now, the longer hair is winning…

Since I am trying to grow out my hair it is more important than ever to protect it from heat damage. While I don’t heat style or blow dry my hair every day, I do still want to protect it on the days that I do.

Laura | lookingjoligood.blog — My hair is growing, slowly but it’s growing!

A heat protectant works by forming a protective barrier over the hair cuticle preventing the heat from damaging the hair. A heat protectant will also add moisture to your hair as well as preventing the natural moisture from evaporating as the hair is heat styled.

When I first decided I wanted a heat protectant I tried a few different oils. So far, the oils have just been too heavy for my fine straight hair. Maybe once my hair is a bit longer I can use one on just the ends, but for now, no good.

I did a bit of research and decided to give this Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray a try. It claims to:

Reacts with heat to reduce blow-dry time
Shields against heat damage
Formulated with fibralock technology
Heat protectant spray for all heat tools

Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray | Lookingjoligood.blog

I want my hair to be protected from heat, but I don’t want a product that is going to make my already fine oily hair look thinner and more oily. Thankfully, instead, when I use this spray, my hair looks sleek and shiny all day. It doesn’t weigh my hair down at all. It has a nice clean scent that lasts all day!

Due to my fine hair, it takes me no time at all to blow dry my hair anyway, so I cannot testify as to whether or not this spray cuts down on drying time. It does make heat styling my hair quicker and easier due to the fact that my hair smooths into place more effectively.

There are several other heat protectant products from Loreal in this line. I’m planning to try out a few others. I’ll let you know if any of them work as well as or better than this one. Loreal Blow Dry It Quick Dry Primer Spray | Lookingjoligood.blog

If you are looking for a product to help protect your hair while also adding a smooth shine, I recommend this product.

Different

I don’t wanna hear anymore
Teach me to listen
I don’t wanna see anymore
Give me a vision
That you could move this heart, to be set apart

I don’t need to recognize the man in the mirror
And I don’t wanna trade Your plan for something familiar
I can’t waste a day
I can’t stay the same

I wanna be different
I wanna be changed
‘Til all of me is gone
And all that remains
Is a fire so bright
The whole world can see
That there’s something different
So come and be different
In me

And I don’t wanna spend my life stuck in a pattern
And I don’t wanna gain this world but lose what matters
And so I’m giving up everything because

And I don’t wanna gain this world but lose what matters

I wanna be different
I wanna be changed
‘Til all of me is gone
And all that remains
Is a fire so bright
The whole world can see
That there’s something different
So come and be different
In me

I don’t want to spend my life stuck in a pattern
I don’t want to gain this world but lose what matters
So I’m giving up everything because

I know, that I am far from perfect
But through You, the cross still says I’m worth it
So take this beating in my heart and
Come and finish what You started
When they see me, let them see You
‘Cause I just wanna be different, yea

I know, that I am far from perfect
But through You, the cross still says I’m worth it

I wanna be different
I wanna be changed
‘Til all of me is gone
And all that remains
Oh is a fire so bright
The whole world can see
That there’s something different
So come and be different

I just wanna be different
So could You be different
In me

30 Days of Giving Thanks! Day 28, 29, and 30

December 1, 2017 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood1 Comment

November 28: I’m thankful for Mondays off of work. It is so nice to be able to have a day off at the very beginning of the week to get things ready for the rest of the week! Plus, it’s always nice to not have to work on Monday!

November 29: I’m thankful for audiobooks to enjoy on the ride to and from school with my children. We have listened to so many great books on our 30 min ride to and from school. It is a great way to make being stuck in traffic fly by!

November 30: I’m thankful for enough. It really is true that being grateful turns what we have into enough. Focusing on what I’m thankful for these last few weeks has really helped me to be more aware of all the things I already have.

Ok, I’m going to be completely honest with you…I have not been working out consistently for the last month. I needed to give myself a bit of a mental and physical break.

While I absolutely love workout it is so easy to get out of the habit of daily exercise.

This is a great 20-minute workout that is perfect for reintroduction to exercising. Let the sore muscles resume! 😉

November 25: I’m thankful for sunshine! It gets dark so early since turning back the clocks a few weeks ago for the end of daylight savings. I am so thankful that despite the shorter days, we have been having sunny days recently!

November 26: I’m thankful for long quiet Sunday afternoon naps! There is no better way to start off the week than by taking a nice long nap on Sunday afternoon.

What about you? What are you thankful for?
