No Gym No Problem

No Gym? No Problem! #38

I recently found this awesome workout at self.com I love standing core exercises.  A strong core is essential for almost any exercise program. You don’t always have to do crunches to get a strong center.  Here are 4 standing ab exercises. Take a few minutes and improve your day! Your heath and wellness is worth it! Remember to keep good proper form, warm up before, and stretch after you exercise!

No Gym No Problem

No Gym? No Problem! #37

If you are someone that gets bored easily while working out this is a great workout for you.  Although, if you are a person that needs music to workout with, you will need to add your own soundtrack because this workout doesn’t have any background music with it.  Get ready to squat and sweat!  (and of course, burpees, because what is a HIIT workout without burpees, right?!)

Daniel and Kelli at FitnessBlender have a great YouTub Channel with lots of great free workouts.

Do you have 25 minutes to improve your health and wellness? Yes, You Do! No Excuses, Just do it! Remember to keep good proper form, warm up before, and stretch after you exercise!

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.

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

walmart beauty | lookingjoligood.blog

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 box:

Classic Box

7 sample sized products

beauty box classic | lookingjoligood.blogSeriously though, once again this deodorant!  How many times are they going to send me the same exact Dove advanced care deodorant?!  I think that I have gotten 9 so far!  I don’t  use this type of deodorant, so I have 9 mini tubes just sitting around that I really need to drop off at the woman’s shelter in my area.

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:

No Gym? No Problem! #16

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 7-minute flexibility workout by Spotebi.

Here is what I got in this season’s box:

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?

Tips and Tricks

Tip Tuesday #56

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

Tip Tuesday: Make up tips and tricks every Tuesday | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Use Decaf Coffee or Peppermint Tea to Defeat Cravings

If you are like me, sometime around 2:30-3 pm you start craving sweets and foods you shouldn’t eat.  I have found that if I drink black decaf coffee I can stave off these cravings!  Studies have shown that drinking black decaf coffee, peppermint tea, or regular coffee helped to kill cravings.

I absolutely love these Folgers coffee singles*!  They have such a great flavor and are so simple to make just one cup of coffee in the afternoon!

*totally not sponsored, I just really like these coffee bags.

Let me know if you try it out and what you think!
