Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday…

This weeks tip is short and sweet!  When storing your makeup remover wipes keep them upside down instead of right side up.  This simple change in direction will help to prevent the wipes at the top from drying out while the ones at the bottom remain extra wet and saturated.

Am I Enough?

Do you ever ask yourself the question “Am I enough?”

Am I good enough? Am I doing enough? Am I happy enough?  Is my house clean enough? Am I beautiful enough? Smart enough? Skinny enough?… The list can go on and on.

Quite often I give myself a hard time.  I expect near perfection from myself and get upset when I don’t reach it. I need to remind myself that all I can do is my best and if I am doing my best I am enough!

I am enough! | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

When I fail, I am still loved. I am not perfect, but I am still precious.

You don’t have to break the bank in order to get a great facial primer.  Instead of spending $30 or more you can get a great facial primer in the feminine hygiene aisle…

Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel

Monistat Complete Care Chafing Relief Powder Gel | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Don’t be hesitant or dissuaded from using this product on your face as a primer because of the name on the label is or which aisle it is found it. It works perfectly!

If you check out the ingredients for both the Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel and the BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Face Primer you will see that they are almost identical. I put the similar ingredients in bold, as you will see the main ingredients in the lists are practically the same.

Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel list of ingredients:
Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Silica, Tocopheryl Acetate, Trisiloxane

Now check out the ingredients list for the BENEFIT COSMETICS The POREfessional Face Primer:

No Gym No Problem

No Gym? No Problem! #21

I love to workout with weights! I like to use 8lb weights, but 3lbs or 5 lbs is great as well!   You can always push the up button by increasing the weight.

Start with one set of each move. As you get stronger,try to do the a circuit two or three times. After six weeks you can expect to see improvements in strength, muscle tone, and endurance. You will be shocked at just how strong you are!

As always…No excuses! Just do it!

Remember to keep good proper form and warm up and stretch before and after your workout!

Where Is the Body Revolution Review?!

**Please see below for an update.

Ok, so you might remember that for a while I was doing a weekly Jillian Michaels Body Revolution Review.  I reviewed up through week 6 and Cardio 2, then the reviews suddenly stopped… I completed workouts for weeks 7 and 8, although I didn’t review them, and I started Cardio 3 and weeks 9-10.  One night after doing workout 9 or 10, I rolled over and woke up from a dead sleep, my muscles were so sore and in pain that the simple movement woke me up.  It was then that thought to myself, “Why am I doing this to myself?!”

My love for Jillian has not waned, but at this point in my life things are just so busy that I cannot be losing sleep or hobbling around due to muscles that are so stiff and sore from my workouts.  I hate to give up on something that I have started, but I cannot complete the body revolution at this point.

I am going to be honest, the moves in Cardio 3 are insane!  I did not enjoy the workout at all.  I found myself dreading it.  I love to exercise, I look forward to it everyday, and don’t want it to become a chore due to the type of workouts I am doing.  I love to challenge myself with my workouts, but I cannot risk injury while doing it.

So for now, my “Body Revolution” is on hold…

**Update:

Initially, I found Jillian Michaels’ approach to exercise and dieting highly motivational. Her intense workouts and strict dietary guidelines pushed me to achieve remarkable physical results, which fueled my motivation and determination. I embraced her no-nonsense attitude and believed that pushing my body to its limits was the only way to achieve success. However, as time went on, I began to realize that this approach was taking a toll on my mental health. The relentless pursuit of physical perfection and the constant pressure I placed on myself led to feelings of anxiety, guilt, and a distorted body image. It was then that I decided to change my perspective and adopt a more balanced and loving approach to my body. By prioritizing self-compassion, listening to my body’s needs, and embracing acceptance, I discovered a newfound sense of mental well-being. This shift in thinking allowed me to find joy in movement, cultivate a positive relationship with my body, and ultimately, achieve a healthier and more sustainable approach to overall well-being.

I Can and I Will

This time of year is so busy and I often feel as if I can’t get every thing done while still doing it all well.  I don’t know about you, but sometimes I need a little bit of extra encouragement.  When things get busy and my schedule is packed full and I feel like I can’t do it all, I try to remind myself that I can and I will!  If you need a bit of extra encouragement today here it is…You can and You will!

I Can and I Will
