Should You Workout When You’re Sick?
I have been feeling a bit yuck the last few days, either I have a cold or my allergies are acting up. (Yup, I am totally looking for some sympathy here, lol) When I am feeling stuffed up, despite wanting to lay around and feel sorry for myself, I generally feel better when I keep active.
The general advice I’ve heard from doctors is if your symptoms are from the neck up (sore throat, coughing, runny nose, congested sinuses), it’s fine to participate in light exercising activities. You know your body, don’t push it too much but listen to the way you feel. Sometimes a workout is just what you may need to feel better! Personally I get a lot of sinus headaches, and often after I exercise I feel a lot better!
If you are having symptoms that include muscle or joint pain, along with headache, fever, malaise (overall general feeling of yuck), diarrhea, or vomiting do not workout. When in doubt, ask your doctor and listen to your body!
Please don’t go to the gym if you are sick. Not only could you pick up additional bugs while your immune system is already not at 100%, but you could also be spreading your germs to every one else. It is usually great to share, but not when it is germs!
Remember that after you are sick you might need to ease yourself back into a workout routine. Don’t over do it since you might end up making yourself feel worse later on! Listen to your body, get plenty of rest, and keep hydrated!

Here is what I am wearing on my face today!
I really don’t think that this Loreal La Palette gets enough love and attention in the beauty community. I really enjoy using this palette and always get compliments on my eye look whenever I use it. The Maybelline Fit Me Foundation is another one that I absolutely love. It always makes my skin look so flawless without looking heavy or cakey. I use both this crown brush and the real techniques one every day.

Tip Tuesday #34
Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!
If you have been around Looking Joli Good for any amount of time, you know that I love long lashes! I never wear false lashes, mostly because the thought of putting glue next to my eyes makes me feel grossed out.
While there are so many great lash-pumping mascaras on the market, you don’t need to spend a ton of money on one of them. Instead, after applying your first coat of mascara quickly dust some translucent powder onto your lashes. Apply a second coat of mascara over the powder and be amazed at how full your lashes look!

My Savior’s Always There For Me
My Savior, My God!
I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed what God Has planned
I only know at his right hand
Stands one who is my Savior
I take him at his word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find the need
Of him to be my Savior
That he would leave his place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You called it strange so once did I
Before I knew my Savior
My Savior loves
My Savior lives
My Savior’s always there for me
My God he was
My God he is
My God he’s always gonna be
Yes living, dying let me bring
My strength my Solace from the Spring
That he who lives to be my king
Once died to be my Savior
That he would leave his place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You called it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior
My Savior loves
My Savior lives
My Savior’s always there for me
My God he was
My God he is
My God he’s always gonna be
My Savior loves
My Savior lives
My Savior’s always there for me
My God he was
My God he is
My God he’s always gonna be
My Savior lives
My Savior loves
My Savior lives
My Savior loves
My Savior lives

Don’t Just Be Aware Of Breast Cancer!
Most people know that October is “Breast Cancer Awareness Month.” While most are “aware of breast cancer”, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States (other than skin cancer). Millions of women are surviving the disease thanks in part to early detection and improvements in treatment.
As you may remember, last year I started a new job at the Hospital. I working in an Out Patient Infusion Center. We see all kinds of patients and give a lot of different medications, and a lot of chemotherapy. In just this past year that I have been working, I have seen so many cases of advanced cancer. The earlier the cancer is found, the better the prognosis!
If you live in the USA and think that you can’t afford to get tests done, coverage of mammograms for breast cancer screening is mandated by the Affordable Care Act. The ACA provides that these be given without a co-pay or deductible. Don’t put off screening because of fear of the possible outcome.
I can’t stress to you enough that early detection saves lives!

Extreme Beauty Guide
Here is a Step by Step guide to extreme beauty!
1) Stop comparing yourself to anyone else!
That is it! In this world of social media, it is so hard not to get sucked into comparing ourselves with others. We now see so much more of people’s “private” lives. The problem is that we are usually comparing all of our flaws with the snapshots they choose to share of an edited filtered version of a picture perfect life. Their reality is that they are also not perfect, they too have flaws that we do not see.
When I feel myself comparing myself to others in a negative way, I remind myself that the only person that I need to be comparing myself to is the one I see in the mirror. I need to focus on being a better version of myself than I was yesterday…

Tip Tuesday #33
Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!
I don’t know about you, but I think that liquid liner is one of the hardest products to master.
My tip for this week will help you apply liquid liner evenly on both eyes like a pro. Before applying black liquid eye liner, first use a taupe or lighter colored eyeliner pencil to lightly trace a practice line just above your upper lash line. Make sure the lines are even, then apply the liquid liner directly on top of the practice lines. No one will ever know that you practiced with taupe, and you will have a perfect eye look every time!
I love this taupe liner from Wet N Wild and for only $.99 you can’t beat the price!
