The little Bite Size 4 pan quad palettes from @elfcosmetics are not only amazing but they’re also only $3 USD! They’re available in 8 different quad combos with the cutest food related names such as Cream and Sugar, Pumpkin Pie, Carnival Candy, and Açaí You. Out of the eight available quads I have three: Rose Water, Berry Bad, and Cream and Sugar. They are all beautiful and great quality, but Rose Water is my favorite and most used.

Surprisingly it seems that every time I use the shadows in the Rose Water quad someone will compliments me on my eyeshadow look. I’ve hit pan on my original quad, so I’ve already repurchased another new one.

Much used and much loved Rose Water Bite Sized Palette from Elf Cosmetics

Does Manuka Honey and Yogurt Really Make A Difference In The Health Of Your Hair? The Results From This $12 Product Will Shock You

Ever since I was younger I have always been obsessed with smooth, soft, shiny hair. I’ve used all kinds of different types of products with various results. I love when I find a winner and hate when it is a waste of time and money!

laura | Lookingjoligood.blog

I’ve been a fan of Shea Moisture kids detangler for a few years now, so I figured I would branch out and try some of their other products. I fell in love, and I have a feeling you will not be disappointed either!

I cannot say enough about the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey and Yogurt Hydrate and Repair Protein Power Treatment! There’s a noticeable difference in the feel and look of my hair when I use this treatment.
Marketed more towards curly hair, this product would be great for all hair types.


The scent is amazing. Not coconut or floral or fruity like a lot of hair care products, just a pleasant scent. I use this treatment once a week, and a little bit of product goes a long way, so the 8 oz last a long time.
They also make a conditioner and leave in with the same scent. Priced around $12 each, I 10/10 recommend these hair care products!

So the answer to the question: Does Manuka Honey and Yogurt Really Make A Difference In The Health Of Your Hair? Yes, yes it does!

What about you? Have you tried any thing from the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey and Yogurt Line or used many of the other Shea Moisture products? Did you notice any difference in the health of your hair? Do you love the way it smells?? Let me know in the comment section below.

You Won’t Believe What $10 Serum Has Made My Eye Lashes Grow!

eye lash serum | lookingjoligood.blog

Do you remember that time when we were young, wild, and free to travel around without worry? 🤔


Back during that time, I was in Florida visiting my sister. We were on a walk when I noticed that her previously short eyelashes were now noticeably much longer! It wasn’t a new mascara, it wasn’t an expensive eyelash serum with a questionable ingredient list. She had been using cold pressed organic caster oil! 🙌

Sister Sister | lookingjoligood.blog
My beautiful sister lives in Florida. I love visiting her, we have so much fun when we are together!

Obviously, as soon as I got home I purchased it and started using it immediately!


While I haven’t noticed the drastic results on my lashes that she had, I’ve definitely noticed that my lashes, especially the bottom ones, seem longer and thicker. Let me I tell you though, this oil has made my already thick eyebrows grow like crazy! So crazy that I cannot apply it to my brows every night or they become too thick. When have you ever heard someone complaining about a serum working too well? 😲

In the past I’ve used a lot of eyelash serums with various results. The majority have caused some eye or skin irritation. I have been using Teddie organics caster oil for around 9 months and haven’t had any eye issues.
They even sent along a little bottle with a mascara wand. 10/10 recommend.

What about you? Have you used many lash serums? Did you notice any difference? Did you have any sensitivities or irritations? Let me know in the comment section below.

Goodbye Sweet Tessie, Forever In My Heart

We made the extremely hard decision to say goodbye to Tessie this past week.🌈

The Vet came to the house so we could be with her. Despite knowing it was the right decision and that this day was approaching, we weren’t ready. My heart is broken. I miss her so much it’s hard to breathe. 💔😭💔


My only consolation is that during this time of Covid sheltering in place, we’ve all been together non-stop. I’m so so so thankful for that time with her. No guilty feelings about her being alone for long periods of time while we were at work or school. 💔😭💔


My best friend forever, my loyal side kick. There is a Tessie sized hole in my life. She will be loved forever and missed always. ❤️


Tessie Mae: April 30,2006-August 11, 2020 🌈❤️🐼😭💔🌈

I love you sweet Tessie

Healthy and Happy

Healthy and happy is way better than skinny and sad.

There’s always that little voice inside that can trick us into thinking that losing 5 more pounds will make us happier.

Don’t listen to the lies that society tells us. Skinny does not equal happy…and skinny does not always equal healthy. On the same note, if being skinny causes you to be mentally unhealthy that is just as bad.

I lost a good friend last week, Barbara.

I had so much HOPE that God would heal her, HOPE that she would be whole again, HOPE that things would return to normal, HOPE that cancer would lose and we would win her back again. HOPE that this would be the end of a chapter in her life and not the end of life.

That wasn’t God’s plan.

Does that mean that I have lost HOPE?!
Absolutely not! I HOPE that I can be as kind and friendly as Barbara was. I HOPE that like Barbara when people leave my presence they feel better and happier for having been with me. I HOPE that I can praise God despite not being able to breathe. I HOPE that my life can be like Barbara’s, at the mention of my name people cry because they miss me but quickly start to smile and laugh because of all the happy and good things. I HOPE it can be said of me “well done.”

Today we will celebrate the wonderful and full life of Barbara. I have HOPE because I will see her again in Heaven.

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a HOPE.
Jeremiah 29:11

Cancer Cannot!

Cancer cannot | lookingjoligood.blog
I’ve spent the majority of my professional nursing career fighting cancer. Sometimes it seems as if I’m helping in the battle, and sometimes Cancer has the upper hand.

Cancer is a thief, a time stealer, a heartbreaker.

Cancer thinks it is so strong. Cancer feeds off of fear. Cancer knows hearing its name attached to the one you love will knock you off your feet and send your head spinning. Cancer thinks that it’s is unstoppable.

There are so many things that cancer cannot do.

Cancer Cannot | lookingjoligood.blog

Cancer cannot annihilate love,  terminate peace, trample hope or diminish faith.
Cancer cannot silence praise or quitet laughter.
Cancer cannot destroy friendship or remove memories.
Cancer cannot squash courage, suppress motivation, or cripple inspiration.
Cancer can weaken the body but it cannot conquer the soul or destroy the spirit.
Cancer can shorten life but it can never steal eternal life.
God's Way Is Perfect | lookingjoligood.blog
It is hard to believe anything good can come from the disappointment and pain of loss.  Trusting God in difficult times leads to a stronger faith. He’s always with us and will use hard times in our lives to make us stronger, wiser, more patient, and more compassionate, more like Him.
I lost a close friend to cancer today. Cancer may be able to separate us here on Earth, but it cannot take away our eternal life together in Heaven.

Lose Excuses and Gain Results

I love to make excuses for myself.

I love to make excuses for myself. I am often my own worst enemy. But when I stop with the excuses and just do what I know I need to be doing it is amazing how much of a difference it makes. I'm not even talking about weight loss and exercising, I'm talking about everything: mental, physical and spiritual health. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” My weaknesses are simply opportunities for Jesus to reveal His grace in my life. The Bible tells us that in Romans 8:37 that we are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ, not leaving much room for excuses...

Glory in the Highest by Meredith Andrews

Hear the quiet of the starry night
Scattered shepherds watch the sky
Suddenly the dark gives way to light
The angel speaks of the Messiah

Be of good courage
See the star hovering above
Today a Savior is born to us

Glory, glory in the highest
We sing glory to His name
Peace on Earth to all who come
To worship Christ the King
We sing, glory in the highest
In the highest

See the God who spoke the earth to be
Take a break as a baby
Look beyond the child and see the King
Come to rescue and redeem

Glory, glory in the highest
We sing glory to His name
Peace on Earth to all who come
To worship Christ the King
We sing, glory in the highest
In the highest

Glory in the Highest Meredith Andrews | lookingjoligood.blog

Gloria, gloria, in excelsis Deo

Glory, glory in the highest
We sing glory to His name
Peace on Earth to all who come
To worship Christ the King
We sing, glory…
Glory, glory in the highest
We sing glory to His name
Peace on Earth to all who come
To worship Christ the King
We sing, glory in the highest
Glory, in the highest
