The Answer to the Single Most Important Question Ever…?!

The answer to the single most important question: “If I were to die today, would I spend eternity in Heaven with God?”

The single most important question ever | lookingjoligood.blog

What happens when I die? Where will I spend eternity?

 Your relationship with Jesus Christ is where you will find the answer to these questions.

The Bible tells us in 1 John 5:13, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life…” God wants you to know where you’re going to spend all of eternity!

In order to spend eternity in Heaven with God, you must personally receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

The Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, that He was buried, and that He rose on the third day. Jesus’ sacrificial work of redemption made it so that all people can be saved!

Bible tells us that eternal life is not something we can earn or buy, but instead, it is a gift.

God’s gift is eternal life with Him.

Romans 6:23 | lookingjoligood.blog

The thing about this gift is that before you can get it, you first have to realize that you need this it. Romans 3:23 tells us that “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

All of us have sinned by breaking God’s rules.  Some of the rules are broken by things that we have been doing, and some of the rules have been broken by things that we haven’t been doing.  We have all sinned in one way or another.Romans 3:23 | lookingjoligood.blog

Romans 6:23 tells us that the price for those broken rules is death.  That death isn’t just talking about our physical body dying, but about our spiritual body as well.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

When our physical body dies, our spiritual body will go to one of two places, either an eternity in Heaven or an eternal death apart from God in Hell.

God doesn’t want to be separated from us! Romans 5:8 says “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” 

Christ died for us | lookingjoligood.blog

The price of our sin is death, but Jesus Christ already paid the price for our sins when he died on the cross.

Jesus came to earth as God in the flesh. He lived a perfect life and voluntarily took our place on the cross, all because He loves us!  He took your place, He took my place, He paid your price with His life. He loves you!

The Bible tells us in 2 Peter 3:9 that “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”

2 Peter 3:9 | lookingjoligood.blog

Any time you get a gift you have to accept it in order to own it.  It is no different with the gift of eternal life, you have to turn to Christ and place our full trust in Him alone.

Romans 10:13 tells us that “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 10:13 | lookingjoligood.blog

If you have never trusted in Jesus Christ to be your personal savior, you can do it right now! It is as simple as believing in your heart that Christ is the only way to have eternal life in Heaven and saying a prayer that is something like this…

“Dear Lord God,
Thank you for the sacrifice you made in sending your only perfect son to die on the cross for my sins!  It should have been me sentenced to that horrible death, but you Lord, gave Jesus to save me from the punishment that I deserve.  Thank you for this free gift of salvation! Amen!”

You will never regret that decision! This decision has changed my life!  If you have just trusted Christ and received the gift of eternal life, I would love for you to tell me!

The Best Decision in Life: A Free Gift

I believe that God gave us life so that we can love and glorify Him.

Many people believe that eternal life in Heaven is something that we earn through good works, or something we inherit because our parents are religious, or possibly we can attain it through good intentions.  While all these things sound good, the Bible tells us that eternal life is not something we can earn or buy, but instead, it is a gift.

Beauty Subscription

Walmart Beauty Classic and Trendsetter Boxes Summer 2018

Did you know that Walmart has its 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.  Although in the past, I have raved about this box, the last few seasons have been a terrible waste of money.  If things continue this way I cannot recommend that you spend your money on this beauty box.  (I have added pictures of previous boxes below to show you how much the sample quality has decreased.)

Walmart beauty box summer 2018 | lookingjoligood.blog


How does it work?

  • You sign up at https://beautybox.walmart.com/
  • Create an account
  • Add your payment and shipping info
  • Wait for your confirmation email
  • Enjoy your beauty box when it arrives

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:

Trendsetter Box

Classic Box

For only $5USD four times a year, this used to be a great subscription box to receive. (see below photos, take special notice of the Spring 2017 boxes.  The quality of samples has greatly decreased since then!)

If you follow me on Instagram, you might remember that my disgust over the items I received in the classic summer Walmart beauty box brought me out of a 4 month IG hibernation. I receive both the classic and traditional boxes. I’m just as disgusted by both of them. What are your thoughts? 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.

Review of the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution Workout 5 and 6

**Please see update below

I’ve mentioned this at the beginning of each of these Body Revolution reviews, but just in case this is the first one that you are reading…

The Body Revolution program consists of 3 phases that claim to lead to “total body transformation.” It is a 90-day program with 6 workouts a week and one day to rest.  Each phase consists of 4 metabolic training workouts and one cardio workout.  Each workout is “only” 30 minutes long.  Even numbered workouts work the front of the body, odd numbered workouts concentrate on working the back of the body.  Every workout works the abdominals.

What is included with the purchase of Jillian Michael’s Body Revolution:

jillian-michaels-body-revolution | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

15 DVDs
resistance cable
fitness guide
90-day journal
“customizable” 90-day fat-burning meal plan,
FREE 30-day web club access
bonus 7 day Kick Start Your Metabolism diet plan that will help to “detox your body and curb your food cravings or addictions.”

Here is the review of Phase 2 for Weeks 5 and 6:

Phase 2 Workout 5 for Weeks 5 and 6

What will you need?  

  • Exercise mat
  • Medium resistance cable
  • Free weights (3, 5 or 8 lbs depending on your strength level)

Where can you expect to be sore the next day?  

  • Chest
  • Shoulders,
  • Abs,
  • Triceps
  • Quads

The workout is broken down into 4 circuits; each of which are repeated once with  one minute of cardio  in between the circuit repetition.

Jillian Michaels Body Revolution Phase 2 Workout 5 | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Here is a breakdown of phase two workout five

Warm-up

Sun salutation:
exhale-fold down touch the ground,
raise half way with a flat back and exhale,
jump back into a plank pose,
down into a chaturanga pose,
Flow into up dog, exhale
down dog,
bend the knees look up
jump up to standing

Repeat 3 times.

Circuit 1:

  • Push Ups with a side plank rotation
  • Deep crescent pose with triceps pulses using light weights
  • Jumping Squats -advanced modification add weights (I seriously HATE these!)
  • Repeat exercise 2 on opposite leg.

Cardio -1 minute-Mountain climbers -repeat circuit 1

Circuit 2:

  • Crab exercise with right leg raised

  • Repeat crab exercise with your opposite leg raised

Cardio -1 minute-Cable Punches

Repeat Circuit 3 with the exception of the cardio bit

At this point Jillian says she wants you to be able to have sex with the lights on and when your son ask you what that means you quickly tell him you don’t know what she is talking about and ask him to leave the room until you are finished.  Oh Jillian, thanks a lot!

Circuit 4:

  • Medium cable row while seated on the mat wrap cable around feet and pull-advanced modification-wrap cable around again
  • Line tricep press
  • Repeat exercise 1 on opposite leg.
  • RepeatLine tricep press on opposite side.

Cardio -1 minute-Speed rope (like jump rope only a lot faster!)-repeat circuit 4

When I feel like I want to quit, phone it in, or take an easier modification here is one of my favorite Jillian Michaels quotes that I tell myself all the time :

“Unless you puke, faint, or die, keep going!”

 

Phase 2 Workout 6 for Weeks 5 and 6

What will you need?  

  • Exercise mat
  • Medium resistance cable
  • Free weights (3, 5 or 8 lbs depending on your strength level)

Jillian Michaels Body Revolution Review | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Just like workout 1, workout 3 is focused on the front of the body.  It incorporates some yoga moves as well as strength training.  Right away you will notice that the workout is more intense than 1+2, but you will also notice how much stronger you already are.
Where can you expect to be sore the next day?  

  • Chest
  • Shoulders,
  • Abs,
  • Triceps
  • Quads

The workout is broken down into 4 circuits; each of which are repeated once with  one minute of cardio  in between the circuit repetition.  Some of these things are harder to name/explain.

Here is a breakdown of phase one workout one

Warm-up

Cardio -1 minute- ZigZag Jumps-repeat circuit 4

Cool Down/Stretches

As usual I was super sore from the workouts the first two days, (Once again, I woke up in the middle of the night in pain because I rolled over and my muscles were so sore from the workout!) but thankfully, after that not much at all.  I knew I was going to be sore, so I took motrin before going to bed. 🙂

I hope this was helpful if you are trying to decide if Jillian Michaels Body Revolution is right for you!

Here is another one of my very favorite Jillian Micheals quotes:

“Your legs are not giving out. Your head is giving out. Keep going.”

**Update:

Initially, I found Jillian Michaels’ approach to exercise and dieting highly motivational. Her intense workouts and strict dietary guidelines pushed me to achieve remarkable physical results, which fueled my motivation and determination. I embraced her no-nonsense attitude and believed that pushing my body to its limits was the only way to achieve success. However, as time went on, I began to realize that this approach was taking a toll on my mental health. The relentless pursuit of physical perfection and the constant pressure I placed on myself led to feelings of anxiety, guilt, and a distorted body image. It was then that I decided to change my perspective and adopt a more balanced and loving approach to my body. By prioritizing self-compassion, listening to my body’s needs, and embracing acceptance, I discovered a newfound sense of mental well-being. This shift in thinking allowed me to find joy in movement, cultivate a positive relationship with my body, and ultimately, achieve a healthier and more sustainable approach to overall well-being.

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…beauty box classic | lookingjoligood.blogSeriously 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!  😉dove advanced care Walmart Beauty Box Trendsetter Box Spring 2017 | lookingjoligood.blogSo 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.

Beauty Subscription

Walmart Beauty Boxes Summer 2017

Did you know that Walmart has it’s own a subscription beauty box?  Yup, they do!  It is a quarterly box and only costs $5 a season.

walmart beauty | lookingjoligood.blog

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.

Instead of the usual Classic Box, Walmart Beauty contacted me and asked if I would be interested in receiving a special “Me Moment” box.  Here is what I got:

This season, I got an email from Walmart Beauty asking me if I would be interested in opting in to get a special box called the “Take A Me Moment” beauty box instead of one of the regular Spring Beauty Boxes.  So far it hasn’t shipped yet, but I’ll post about it whenever I get it.

Take A Me Moment Box

Luckily for me, looks as if I will be receiving another bottle of nail polish…sigh…🙄

Overall, I think that this was just an ok set of samples in the Trendsetter box.  Personally, I hate foil packets!  They are such a waste of a sample!  There is usually enough product inside the sample for more than one use, but because of the packaging, it is hard to use it more than once.Aveeno trendsetter Walmart Beauty Box Trendsetter Box Spring 2017 | lookingjoligood.blog

Also, possibly because my only full-size product was nail polish, and I hate nail polish, might be why I feel as if this Trendsetter box wasn’t overly impressive compared to previous boxes.  (see the photos below)

The product that I am most interested in trying out is the Biore Free Your Pores Baking Soda Acne Scrub.  In previous boxes, I have gotten several great skin care products that I probably wouldn’t have tried otherwise. biore trendsetter Walmart Beauty Box Trendsetter Box Spring 2017 | lookingjoligood.blog

Although I am not as impressed with this box as I have been with previous boxes, for only $5 each, I find that the Walmart beauty boxes are generally a good deal!  How about you, do you get the Walmart Beauty box?  Did you get the same samples in your box? What do you think?

These boxes are from the Fall 2016 boxes.  I wasn’t overly impressed with the Winter 2017 boxes.
