No Gym? No Problem! #1

January 1, 2018November 26, 2017 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

What a great way to start out the new year with a great stretching workout!

You may not realize it, but flexibility is just as important for you as strength and cardio! Sometimes I am so sore from a previous intense workout that I need to focus for a few days on flexibility and stretching. This is a quick 10-minute flexibility workout by (my favorite) Jessica Smith!

Remember to keep proper form and warm up before and stretch after you exercise!

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.

Beauty Subscription

Walmart Beauty Boxes Fall 2017

December 22, 2017 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

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?

You sign up at https://beautybox.walmart.com/
Create and account
Add your payment and shipping info
Wait for you 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

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.

Classic Box

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 BoxHere is what I received in my Summer 2017 Trendsetter BoxHere is what I received in my Spring 2017 Trendsetter BoxHere 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.

Delicious Recipes

Sweet Potato Casserole

November 22, 2017November 21, 2023 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

I look forward to Thanksgiving dinner every year for one reason. It is not the turkey or the mashed potatoes. It isn’t even the pies and desserts, although those are great too. The reason I look forward to Thanksgiving is this awesome Sweet Potato Casserole! It is so delicious!!!

I have shared this the last few years, but it is my favorite thing to eat, so I am sharing it again today. I’ll be dreaming about this all night!

Ingredients

4 cups sweet potato, cubed
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Put sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan with water to cover. Cook over medium-high heat until tender; drain and mash. (or use canned yams and skip this step altogether.)
In a large bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, white sugar, eggs, cinnamon, salt, butter, milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Transfer to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar and flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse. Stir in the pecans. Sprinkle the mixture over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly brown.

If you try it, please let me know! I have a feeling that you will love it too!

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!

I love to workout with weights! I like to use 8lb weights, but 3lbs or 5 lbs is great as well! You can always push the up button by increasing the weight.

Start with one set of each move. As you get stronger, try to do the circuit two or three times. After six weeks you can expect to see improvements in strength, muscle tone, and endurance. You will be shocked at just how strong you are!

As always…No excuses! Just do it!
