No Gym No Problem

No Gym? No Problem! #25

This is a great diagram of different ab exercises you can do. I like that it shows  the different muscle groups of your abs that each move is working! Either do them in this order or mix things up to create your own circuit.  Try doing 3 set of 15 reps of each exercise.

(The names on the picture are in French, but I will write the English names below.)

Scissor Crunches:
Lie on a fitness mat, put your hands under your buttocks and lift the upper back. Stretch your legs and start crossing them one over the other.

Cross Crunch:
While lying on your fitness mat, place your right foot on your left knee, lift your back and touch your right knee with your left elbow. Reverse the position of your legs and elbows and repeat.

Crunch:
While lying flat on your back on your fitness mat, put your hands on your temples, bend your knees and start lifting your upper back.

Leg Beats:
While lying flat on your back on a fitness mat with  your legs straight in front of you. Start alternately lift your legs up and down.

Heel Touches
Lying on a fitness mat, bend your knees, lift your head and your back, place your arms at your sides and begin to touch your feet with your fingers ( left hand to  left heel, right hand to right heel).

Remember to keep good proper form, warm up before, and stretch after you exercise!

Ipsy Glam Bag June 2016

I wrote this post several days ago and cannot believe that I completely forgot to post it!  I have been wearing all of these products and have been really enjoying them!  This was a great bunch of samples this month!

It’s that time of the month again!  No, not that time of the month, but the time to receive another ipsy glam bag!  I feel as if the time flies in between the time that I get each bag!  This month’s theme is “Rebel Rebel”  While I am many things, a “rebel” definitley doesn’t describe me, haha.

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

While I am super excited about all the thing I received in the glam bag, I am not a huge fan of the style of this month”s glam bag.  It looks like it has graffiti all over it with words like ipsy, style, and makeup.  I like the colors, but it is just not my style.  It also has the zipper along the front, another thing I am not fond of. I’ll be passing this one along to my daughter, she’ll be thrilled!

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you have already seen what I received.  If you don’t follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you totally should be😉 !

Here’s what I got in my glam bag this month…

ColourPop Cosmetics Crème Gel Liner in Get Paid or Swerve

This is my first ColorPop eyeliner.  I got the color Swerve which is a rich onyx black.  So far I like it.  I always prefer a twist up liner to one that needs to be sharpened, so that alone gives it extra points.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Fireball or Lounge

  • Fireball is a peachy-gold shimmer shade that transitions to pink tones.
  • Lounge is a decadent reddish-brown topped with teal-green shimmer.

When I saw the shades they were going to be sending I was really hoping that I would get Fireball, while Lounge is a beautiful shade I already own it.  I was so excited to receive Fireball! This beautiful pinky peach goldy shadow is gorgeous!  I cannot even explain to you how beautiful it is.  No swatch picture can do it justice! Since it changes with motion in different light, a regular photo can’t capture that.  You’re going to have to trust me on this one.  The sample size is quite small, only 0.03 oz, I don’t even care, I just love the shade so much.  It is almost exactly the size of a penny.  I think that when I am finished with this sample I may purchase the single shadow.

Seraphine Botanicals Happy Hibiscus Blush

 And every product they put out is made with small-batch love and free of all the bad stuff. 100% cruelty-free. Gluten-free. Preservative-free. No harsh chemicals or dyes. Vegan. Sustainably sourced. Organic. Never tested on animals.
While in this photo it looks more brown, this blush is actually a beautiful deep coral shade.  It is perfect for the summer and looks beautiful on the skin.

Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray

  • Hydrolyzed silk and Provitamin B5 add moisture and shine
  • Powerful UV Protectors absorb ultraviolet light. That means no color-fade
  • Works on even the straightest (and waviest) hair

My hair is perfectly straight and that is all it ever does or wants to do.  This Beach Spray smells amazingly delicious, but it is not something that I will ever use.  I am going to be passing it along to my sister.  She has beautiful wavy hair, and I know that she will get a lot more use out of it than I ever would.

Japonesque Solid Brush Cleanser

Major makeup calls for serious removal. This is a gentle cleansing balm that dissolves away residue and leaves brushes silky soft. Mess-free. Simply dip a brush into the balm and wash the grime away.  Goat milk conditions and keeps brushes looking like new. it has a really nice refreshing scent.

I actually haven’t used this yet.  It does smell awesome, but I just haven’t taken the time yet to figure out exactly quite how to use it.

Walmart Beauty Box Summer 2016

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.

Walmart Beauty Box Summer 2016 | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Generally the box will have around 5 samples, with 1 or 2 of them being full sized products.  Also in your Walmart Beauty Box, they send 2 or 3 smaller sample beauty products and coupons. (none of the links are referral links, just regular informational links.)

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 seasonal Beauty Box is a “limited edition” and may sell out.  Note: Beauty products vary by box.  Only one beauty box per email address.”

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

Over all I think that this was a great box!  For $5 I find that this Walmart beauty box is 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?

Fitness Isn’t A Punishment

Every Monday I post a “No Gym? No problem!” workout, and every week I say:

“Take 15-30 minutes and improve your day! Your heath and wellness is worth it!”

I really believe that!  I believe that your health and wellness are worth the time and effort it takes to eat healthy and exercise.  Fitness is not a punishment!  Skinny is not always “healthy”  Healthy for some might be being thinner, while others look a different way.

No matter what your healthy looks like it is worth fighting for!

Make up

I Need Your Help!

Ok my makeup loving friends, I need your help!

As you may remember, I have been on a strict no buy for a while now.  Reason being, my makeup collection was getting out of hand (is that even possible?) I was getting overwhelmed by all the wonder products that I have and yet never use.  So many things get lost in the shuffle do to “out of sight, out of mind.”

Here is where I need your help…I need suggestions of makeup storage organizers.  I don’t want something bulky that is going to take up a ton of room.  I want something sleek and stylish, yet functional and manageable.  If you have something that you store your makeup in that works well for you, I would love to hear about it!  Links are welcomed and encouraged!
