You know I love my girl Jessica Smith! She is so encouraging and has some really great workouts. I thought that this was an interesting twist on a cardio workout. You will need a light ball, nothing fancy, I used my son’s soccer ball. Peanut is in this video too, always a funny distraction.

Do you have 30 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!

Makeup Of The Day

October 13, 2016October 13, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood14 Comments

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!

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!

Don’t Just Be Aware Of Breast Cancer!

October 8, 2016October 7, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood2 Comments

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

October 4, 2016September 14, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood2 Comments

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!

I love cardio kick boxing workouts. I love any workout that is going to get my heart rate up while working my entire body at the same time! Just to warn you this is an intense workout. You will feel it the next day! You’ll be super sore, but it is such a rewarding feeling knowing exactly the many muscles that you have worked in your back abs and arms! If you don’t feel like you can do it all, just do the modifications, or if you are getting worn out just keep moving with a boxer shuffle and continue when you catch your breath. You can do it!

Take 35 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! As always… No Excuses! Just Do IT!

Beauty Subscription

Walmart Beauty Box Fall 2016

October 2, 2016October 1, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood5 Comments

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 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

If you are first time subscribers: Your subscription will be processed when you sign up and your credit card will be charged $5 and you will receive the current season’s box. Once you are subscribed, you won’t have to resign up, you will receive a shipping confirmation email and then your box will arrive. You’ll only be charged when your Beauty Box is shipped.

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 was recently changed. I ordered both boxes.

Here in the picture below is what I got in this seasons box.

Classic Box

Trendsetter Box

Over all I think that this was a great set of boxes! For $5 each I find that the Walmart beauty boxes are generally a great deal! How about you, do you get the Walmart Beauty box? Did you get the same samples in you box? What do you think?

I’m sure you will be seeing some of these items in an upcoming How ’bout Them Samples Post. 🙂
