One Small Child

I love Christmas!  I love Christmas carols and Christmas music.  At church this past Sunday I heard this song for the first time and I have been thinking about it ever since.  Such a beautiful song and a great message!

One small child in a land of a thousand.
One small dream of a savior tonight.
One small hand reaching out to the starlight.
One small savior of life. Ooh.

One king bringing his gold and riches.
One king ruling and army of might.
One king kneeling with incense and candlelight.
One king bringing us life. Ooh.

See Him lying, a cradle beneath Him.
See Him smiling in the stall.
See His mother praising the Father.
See His tiny eyelids fall.
See the shepherds kneeling before Him.
See the kings on bended knee.
See the mother praising the Father.
See the blessed infant sleep.

One small child in a land of a thousand.
One small dream of a savior tonight.
One small hand reaching out to the starlight.
One small savior of life.

Beauty YouTubers I Love

I love to watch beauty videos on YouTube.  I love to see the products and makeup recommendations. I am always looking for new YouTubers to watch.  Here are some of my recommendations of my favorite Youtubers to check out and subscribe to.

What Would Lizzy Do | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comWhat Would Lizzy Do

This girl is not only a natural beauty, she is real and super funny.  She tells it like it is and gives great product reviews, all while being entertaining. I especially love her “Woops and Womps” videos.  She refers to herself as a brown biscuit.  Her make up is always perfect and she is so funny!

 

RachhLovesRachhloves | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Another YouTuber you’ve got to check out is Rachel from RachhLoves.  She is another funny one.  I love all the little extra graphics she adds into her videos.  Some of my favorite videos that she does are her follow ups after a haul.  It is great to see what she thinks about the products after she has used them for a few weeks.  She also does some great “Lazy Girl Guide” videos.

Jessica Braun jambeauty89 | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comjambeauty89 

You have got to check out Jessica Braun from jambeauty89  She is so cute and has the sweetest personality!  I love to watch her videos because she gets so excited over the smallest things.  While she doesn’t do tutorials or get ready with me videos, she does do a lot of drugstore product reviews. She just recently got married and she and her husband Tyler are so cute.

leighannsays | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comLeighannsays 

Leigh Ann from Leighannsays is another favorite of mine.  The perfect word to describe her is quirky.  She is another funny natural beauty.    She recently moved to a new place and adopted a little three legged dog named Luna.  She does a lot of make up tutorials, hair tutorials, make up reviews, fashion hauls.  She has the same type of stick straight eyelashes that I do, so I know that I can trust her mascara recommendations.

I hope that you check out these YouTubers.  Also click HERE to read my first post about Beauty YouTubers for my 3 top favorites…Tati, Melissa, and Candice.

If you have any good recommendations let me know!

Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That!

Well, I am sorry that I have been missing around here the last few days.  I ended up on the wrong side of an IV. I prefer to be the one starting the IV not the one getting one.  Despite being an IV infusion nurse and giving shots and starting IV’s all day, when it comes to me getting stuck with needles I am a HUGE baby!

Unless I am getting paid to be there, I avoid the hospitals like the plague!!!  So, I had to be pretty terrible to be willing to go to the ER.  I will spare the details, but I started having unbelievable abdominal pain out of nowhere and ended up in the ER.  Of course it is the week of Thanksgiving and I have a million things to do! Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That!!!

Despite having no answers as to what caused such terrible pain, the ER doctors and nurses were great.   I am thankful that I have a wonderful husband to take care of me, and a supportive family to help with my kids in the middle of the night. I am also thankful that I am feeling mostly better now and should be able to enjoy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Weekly Product Highlight ~ Lipgloss ~ Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Gloss~

Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Gloss~ Limited Edition Peony Sheen 270 and Mirrored Plum 240 | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Gloss~ Limited Edition Peony Sheen 270 and Mirrored Plum 240

Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Gloss

I am a lipgloss lover!  I like my lips to be shiny, smooth, and slick but not sticky. That is exactly what these Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Glosses provide.  The shadesPeony Sheen 270 and Mirrored Plum 240 both have a slight sparkle to them without being overly glittery.  The  Mirrored Plum 240 shade looks more purple in the tube, but on the lips it comes off as more of a lavender. While the two shades that I have featured here are actually limited edition (sorry, not sure if they are still available 😦 ) there are several other beautiful shades to choose from, 12 shades to be exact.

What does the Maybelline Website have to say about the Color Sensational Lip Gloss:

SOPHISTICATED  shine
LUXURIOUS feel
12 captivating shades

Why You’ll Love It

Fall in love with color, all over again:
• Sophisticated color and shine from pure pigments
• Luxurious feel from nourishing honey nectar

• 12 captivating shades

For Best Results

Use the wand to apply lipgloss starting in the center of your upper lip. Work from the center to outer edges of your lips, following the contour of your mouth. Then glide across the entire bottom lip.
