Do You Like You?

I have posted this before, but I love it so much that I just wanted to share it again.  This song has such a good message behind it.  You don’t have to try so hard to make everyone else like you.  All that matters is if when you are alone with yourself do you like who you are.  Make your own decisions for yourself!

Try by Colbie Caillat

Put your make-up on
Get your nails done
Curl your hair
Run the extra mile
Keep it slim so they like you, do they like you?

Get your sexy on
Don’t be shy, girl
Take it off
This is what you want, to belong, so they like you
Do you like you?

You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing

You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try
You don’t have to try

Mm, mm

Get your shopping on, at the mall, max your credit cards
You don’t have to choose, buy it all, so they like you
Do they like you?

Wait a second,
Why, should you care, what they think of you
When you’re all alone, by yourself, do you like you?
Do you like you?

When you’re all alone, by yourself, do you like you?

You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing

You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to bend until you break
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing

You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try

You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try
You don’t have to try

Mm, mm

You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing

You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try, try, try, try
You don’t have to try
You don’t have to try

Take your make-up off
Let your hair down
Take a breath
Look into the mirror, at yourself
Don’t you like you?
‘Cause I like you

Ok, so this is not my typical workout at all, but I did this one the other day and it was just too fun not to share.  With 34 million views, it has got to be a good one right 😉  I am not coordinated at all when it comes to dancing, so I can only imagine what I looked like doing these Bollywood inspired moves. I love her accent!  Have fun!

Embrace The Mundane

The daily stuff,  those responsibilities that seem more like a distraction, those things we want to rush and get through to get on with the better and bigger assignments of life, those things that are unnoticed places of service, they are the very experiences from which we unlock the riches of wisdom. We’ve got to practice in the everyday places of our lives.

Lysa Terkeurst | lookingjoligood.blog

Never despise the mundane. Embrace it. Unwrap it like a gift. And be one of the rare few who look deeper than just the surface.

See something more in the everyday.

Be the change you wish to see in the world

“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. … We need not wait to see what others do.”

Tarte's Amazonian Clay Waterproof Bronzer in Park Ave Princess | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

If you cannot find a shade of foundation that perfectly matches your skin and are trying to choose between too light and too dark, go with the lighter of the two.  After applying the lighter shade, use bronzer to add depth and life to the high points of your face.

Today’s tip is about liquid lipstick…

Due to the long-wearing matte formula of many liquid lipsticks, they can often dry out lips. If you are a liquid lipstick lover, it is important to give your lips lots of TLC with balms and exfoliation.

O Wondrous Love

I have had this song stuck in my head for several days now.  I wanted to share it with you.

My favorite part is from verse 3

O wondrous love that sings of Calvary
The sweetest sound this sinner’s ever known
The song of Your redeeming Son
Whose wondrous love will never let me go

VERSE 1
O wondrous love that will not let me go
I cling to You with all my strength and soul
Yet if my hold should ever fail
This wondrous love will never let me go

VERSE 2
O wondrous love that’s come to dwell in me
Lord who am I that I should come to know
Your tender voice assuring me
This wondrous love will never let me go

CHORUS
I’m resting in the everlasting arms
In the ever faithful heart
The Shepherd of my life
You’ll carry me on Your mighty wings of grace
Keeping me until the day
I look into Your eyes

VERSE 3
O wondrous love that sings of Calvary
The sweetest sound this sinner’s ever known
The song of Your redeeming Son
Whose wondrous love will never let me go

CHORUS
I’m resting in the everlasting arms
In the ever faithful heart
The Shepherd of my life
You’ll carry me on Your mighty wings of grace
Keeping me until the day
I look into Your eyes

VERSE 4
O wondrous love that rushes over me
I can’t escape this river’s glorious flow
You overwhelm my days with good
Your wondrous love will never let me go
Your wondrous love will never let me go
