I don’t do a lot of Zumba workouts, but this little 8 minute zumba warmup is a fun way to start a workout.

Take a few minutes and have fun with your exercising! Remember to keep good proper form, warm up before, and stretch after you exercise!

Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Unscented Lotion

November 6, 2016November 5, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

~Weekly Product Highlight~Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Unscented Lotion

This is one of the best hand lotions that I have used in a long time! It sinks into the skin quickly without leaving a greasy feel to the skin. Most of the dry skin lotions I have used before are either tacky and sticky or greasy. The finish of this lotion is very smooth.

For use through out the day I like to use lotions without a scent, and this lotion really is unscented as it claims to be.

As a nurse and mother I was my hands so many times a day. My hands get so sore and dry especially this time of year when it is colder. I have used this vaseline lotion consistently for a few weeks now and the results are amazing! My skin feels moisturized and healthy, not sore or irritated at all.

A 10 oz bottle costs around $3.50 and a 1 oz sample sized tube can be purchased for around $1 USD.

What does the Vaseline Website have to say about it:

“Clinically proven to moisturize to heal very dry skin in 5 days

Fast-healing moisture for when your skin’s dry and rough
Relieves even stubborn dry patches
Appropriate for sensitive skin
Absorbs fast for a non-greasy feel

BEST FOR: SENSITIVE SKIN, DRY SKIN, DRY ITCHY SKIN

WITH HEALING MICRO-DROPLETS OF VASELINE® JELLY

Ipsy October 2016 Glam Bag

November 4, 2016November 2, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood3 Comments

Another month has flown by and it is now November and I cannot believe that I completely forgot to post what I got in my October ipsy glam bag!

I don’t know about you, but I always loving seeing what everyone else received in their bags every month, so I decided to post it anyway even though it is almost time for my next bag to arrive.

(If you don’t know what ipsy is you can check out my previous post all about it by clicking HERE)

October’s theme was Make Some Magic

“Mix up magical potions, rock your best all-black everything and cast some serious beauty spells. Makeup or magic? You decide.”

This months bag is super cute! Valfré’s drawings custom designed this month’s bag.The material it is a sturdy textured light pink faux leather with makeup inspired Halloween pictures on it. I like that the zipper is across the top and it is a nice shape. My daughter took one look at the bag and said “This one is mine!” I told her we can share it 😉

Here is what I got in my bag for October:

Beaute BasicsSatin Taupe Eye Shadow

It is super soft and creamy texture. It goes on smooth and is super blendable, you can build up the color as well as making it look smokey. I have already worn this eyeshadow several times and I really like it.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation

I received it in the shade 117=Y225 (Marble) which looks as if it is going to be a good match for me.

Here is the thing about this foundation… I haven’t used it yet, I am super excited about receiving it, but I am afraid that I am going to love it and then want to spend $43 on buying the full size of this foundation. Haha, I just might be crazy…

essence cosmetics superfine eyeliner pen waterproof

This is a superfine eyeliner pen that is waterproof and smudge proof. It has a pointed tip that makes it simple to get into the spaces between the lashes.

So, yeah, I have gotten a black eyeliner in my ipsy bag for 5 of the last 7 months…oh well, I guess it is a good thing I like eyeliner and wear it every day.

Preventive Measures 101 Lips 101 After Hours

I love chapstick! Well, let me rephrase that, I love smooth, creamy, not waxy, not sticky chapsticks. I really love this one. It smells sweet and fruity, kinda like a pina colada. I was in love at first swipe. It makes my lips feel so nice and moisturized!

BeFine Food Skin Care Exfoliating Cleanser

This exfoliator smells like sweet caramel almonds. It lathers up very nicely and has larger sugar granules that melt away pretty quickly. I generally like a finer grain longer lasting exfoliating experience, but I actually do like this one too. Plus the scent is so nice and yummy I wish I could eat it!

Did you get a glam bag this month? What did you get in yours? Were you happy with your samples? Do you get any other monthly subscription bags/boxes that are worth trying out? Let me know in the comments below.

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 22 million view, 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!

What Is Your Potential…

Po·ten·tial

adjective: Having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future.

Sometimes we just need to give ourselves a little bit more time to reach our full potential.

While this bud is beautiful in its own way, it has so much potential inside of it to be amazing! If we were to only judge this flower on what is seen right now at this very moment the flower is cut short of what it actually is meant to be. In just a few short days this bud will blossom and bloom into a large beautiful flower. Right now at this moment it is full of potential. All it needs is a little bit of sunshine, water, and time.

It is easy to judge ourselves and others on what we see before us, when in actuality we all have so much potential inside of us. Sometimes all we need is a little sunshine, water, and time to reach our full bloom.

I have mentioned before that I love cardio kickboxing. I love any workout that is going to get my heart rate up while working my entire body at the same time! The next day you’ll feel this workout in you arms, back, and abs.

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.

Do you have 25 minutes to improve your health and wellness? Yes, You Do! No excuses! Just do it, you will be so happy that you did! Remember to keep good proper form, warm up before, and stretch after you exercise!

Tips and Tricks

Tip Tuesday #35

October 18, 2016October 2, 2016 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood4 Comments

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

This week’s tip is to use coconut oil as a makeup remover

I have mentioned before that I have to wear waterproof mascara if I want my lashes to stay curled. Since it is waterproof most regular cleanser will not remove my mascara. I like to remove every single little bit of my makeup every night, so I needed to figure out a way to get all my waterproof mascara off. That is when I discovered coconut oil as a makeup remover.

Coconut oil is great for so many things, but one of my favorite things to use it for is a natural makeup remover. A small amount goes a very long way, so a jar or bottle will last a long time!

I start with my eyes since it takes a little while for the oil to breakdown the mascara. I use take one pump of fractionated coconut oil or one tiny scoop of organic unrefined coconut oil. I rub it gently on my eyes in a circular motion. I let that settle in while I remove the rest of the make up from my face.

To remove the rest of the rest of my face makeup, I gently rub coconut oil in a circular motion all over my face. I wash it all off with a warm wet wash cloth*.

*You don’t want to let the coconut oil filled water that you rinse off your face with go down the drain. Over time it will harden and clog up your pipes. Pretty gross!

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.

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.
