2013

My goodness how time flew by so fast. To think this time last year I was working in Irvine, California meeting all the amazing new friends that I made. I saw some awesome movies and did some amazing things. I can't believe I got to see One Direction Live at the Staple Center! I met iJustine and the cast of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries at Leaky Con 2013. I went to Portland for the first to go to Leaky Con and it was an amazing experience. I also enjoyed Disneyland and California Adventure as well as Universal Hollywood. I've figured out who my real friends are upon moving back to Florida. I've made some new friends and have become even closer with my brother (which I didn't think could be possible considering how close we were before). I feel like this year I really got a grasp on who I am and not letting people walk all over me. I'm standing up for myself and dealing with problems in an up front way. Next year, I need to get back to how I was eating in Californ...

D.I.Y. New Year's Eve Balloons!

What you need for this project: 1. Clear Balloons 2. Confetti of your choice 3.  Ribbon or anything pretty to tie the balloon with Instructions: They are very simple and you probably already figured them out. Fill the clear balloon with confetti. Blow up the balloon and tie them with the ribbon you chose. If you are throwing a party you can hand them out right before midnight to all of your friends and family. When you count down to midnight pop them and confetti will burst out everywhere. It might be messy but it is super fun!

What I Wore To Disney and Photo Opps at Disney

I went to Disney's Magic Kingdom and Epcot. last week to celebrate Christmas with my two closest friends Ana and Sierra. Here is what I wore and also the video we made of our day there. Also, Some pictures we took that I think everyone should take when they go to these parks! Fashion : Since it was a bit warm when we got there I wore my Mickey Mouse T-Shirt which I don't really have a full picture of. I also work my pink sequined Minnie Mouse ears which really gets you in the disney spirit. Going to the park in Florida, no matter what time of year, you should wear sunblock and sunglasses. I also did my hair in two braids for a childlike look and to keep it out my face. Photo Opp : Take a selfie or a proper picture in front of Cinderella's castle while you are at Magic Kingdom! Fashion : We ended up at Epcot later in the day and it started to get cold and luckily I brought a comfy sweater. It says Baton Twirler on it, in case you were wondering. I wore blac...

Florida Winter Looks

If you live in a place that doesn't really get freezing cold, like Florida, here are some cute outfit ideas. Also, I'm more into the brightly colored winter clothes so here are some options. If you are not big on the bright colors this sweater is a great way to jazz up your look. Glitter, Sparkles,  and Sequins are always a great way to show that you're fun. This is also not a very thick sweater so it's great for Florida or California since it doesn't get very cold. The sweater is also very festive for Christmas and New Years Eve. If it isn't very cold like it is now in Florida go with a thing bright colored sweater and your favorite shorts. You can pair this with a bright hand bag and your favorite flip flops. You can also wear sneakers if you'd prefer. Now if it is a little too chilly for shorts wear bright colored jeans or leg gins to keep your legs warm. This is the perfect Florida winter outfit. Now this is actually my favorite one out ...

DIY Gifts for your girls

These are cute gifts to give to all your girl friends and simple to do. Now I know essie is an expensive nail polish so you can really choice any nail polish, ribbon, and gift bag to put it in. Just add the cute little note that says "For your Mistle Toes"  Get it? Mistletoe! Mistle Toes and you're giving them nail polish. Now you can make the gift with more  nail products, like a nail filer or the little toe divider things (What are those called anyways?). But again this is just a simple and easy gift the your girl friends will love. Give it your own personal touch!

Festive Room Decorations

I wanted to give my room a little touch of Christmas. But I didm't want anything too over the top or something that brought to much attention away from the room. I also didn't want to spend too much money and the decorations so I went to the Dollar Tree and got all of this stuff for eight dollars!   SO here as you can see I got a mason jar candle from Bath and Body works called Tis' The Season which literally smells like Christmas! It's so amazing. I got the candle on sale a few weeks back where they had buy one mason jar candle get a second one for 50% or something like that. I also decided to get a Holiday Handbook magazine which has some amazing Holiday recipes that I might try making. That was six dollars at Publix. Now let's get to the actual Decorations I got at the Dollar Tree! In the first picture you see a cute little Snowman Mug that I filled with some christmas chocolates for friends, family, but mostly myself to snack on. (It's the Holiday s...

Furniture

My Furniture gets here on Tuesday! I'm so excited to start doing my room and making it all nice and cute!!! It is a black, white, and pink room. Most of the furniture is from Ikea, so it has a modern feel to it.  I'm excited to post daily about my room and decor, also with moving in to the apartment in general! Don't forget to check out my youtube channel! Because once my room is finished I will be doing a room tour as well as posting some update videos.

Black and White: Girly or Edgy?

This Black and White look is for the girly side. I'm such a huge fan of these tutu styled skirts. They are so cute and they give outfits a little bit of a fancy look. This is paired with a cute black and white collared shirt. You could always match it with a sweater if you live somewhere that gets colder than Florida. The gold ballet flats just give it a pop of color that isn't too distracting. Want to be a little edgy? You could pair any black and white dress with a black leather jacket to give it that little edge. You could wear black tights or no tights. Pair with black knee boots and a black leather bag. The leather bag will also complement the jacket. Do bold make up and don't forget the red lip stick. These are just two cute fall looks I found on Pinterest. For the girly or edgy side of you. Hope you try these looks out and send pictures to my Facebook and/or Twitter. @JessyJen

Health and Fitness

Hello Everyone. This month is my big fitness month! I need to get back into shape and also get back into the foods I usually eat. Now that I am in my apartment it will be a lot easier! This is a bit late to post but all of the month of November I am doing this. Movember!  Catch up on my 30 day squat challenge or just start on day 3. Which is today. Follow me on Instagram: @JessyJen and on Pinterest for fitness and health updates and recipes! Because who doesn't want to look their best for the holidays?

New Bathroom (Part One)

So I just moved into a new apartment and have been working a bit on my bathroom. Since my furniture won't be here for another week or two this is the only thing I can work on. So here is what I have so far! I am on a budget so most things came from Ross, Target, Dollar Tree, and Wal-Mart. This is still a work in progress. Here's a little overview and what you would see if you walked in. My bed room is black, white, and pink so I am carrying that over to my bathroom as well. The towel I have had for about 2 or 3 years and I honestly don't remember where I got it. The shower curtain is from Ross and I believe it was about $8, give or take. It also brightens up the bathroom since it came in this brown color.   I am going to buy a little organizing shelve for the counter top so everything isn't sitting out like this. I have recently added a mug for my toothbrush and toothpaste. To the left I have all my nice scented stuff. I have a Glade solid freshener I got at th...

DIY Halloween Candle

Make a pair of homemade Halloween decorations with this easy and thrifty Halloween craft project from Vicki O'Dell. Use candle wax and hot glue to create the appearance of spooky, dripping blood.

No Carve Pumpkin Ideas

Here are some ideas if you are not good at pumpkin carving or if you just need to decorate the pumpkin quickly. I personally have trouble carving pumpkins and it gets really messy, these are much easier. You can do so many different things with the pumpkins. Hope these inspire some great ideas. These are all family friendly. Paint them bright colors. You can also turn them into animal heads like these cat pumpkins. This is easy for kids and adults to do. It is also fun to paint in my opinion than carve.  Use felt, Sharpie, or paint to draw fun faces onto the pumpkins. So you still get the fun pumpkin faces without using all the carving tools. It is a really funny way to make a jack o'lantern. I just thought this one was super cute! Use a bunch of pumpkins to create one big animal or character. This caterpillar is just so fun and you can paint it any color you like. If you wanted to make a creepier one try doing a snake with the pumpkins.

Disney Inspired Outfits

Here are two Disney inspired outfits I came up with awhile ago. Incase you go to school on halloween or if you go to a party and don't really feel like dressing up these are fun ways to be a character but not wearing a costume.

Halloween Hallways

I love decoration the inside of my house but sadly I am staying with friends and can't decorate because I am not living in my own place. But here are so really pretty and fun halloween hallway tables that I love.  Also they are very family friendly halloween decorations. As much as I love anything horror, I am a sucker for the cute decorations. This black table has some simple decorations on it for halloween but tie together perfectly. The bottom has the three white pumpkins which are nice to fill in that space but don't bring too much attention away from the top of the table. I love the candles in the center of the table and at night it probably gives it that halloween feeling. The pumpkins with the branches coming out with the bats hanging off is a cute DIY and it gives it that "scary" halloween touch with out actually being scary. I believe the other side is a little festive bowl for candy. But I'm not totally sure. A great way to show off your can...

Best Friend Costumes

Here are some creative Best Friend costumes for halloween that you could make yourself. These are also super fun and most people will know who you are! Be Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy from spongebob squarepants. Most people will know these characters from a mile away. Also, you might have most of the costume at home and you could finish it at Joanne Fabrics or Michaels.  Mario and Luigi are classic friendship/sibling costume. Guys and Girls can do this costume. You can either be creative and make your own costume for cheap or buy them at a halloween store. If you wanted to be girly with the Super Mario world try Princess Peach and Daisy. If your best friend is a guy or vice versa try do a famous duo that are not lovers. The white rabbit and Alice are a perfect example. You can also do a creepy version or modern day version of the costume if you wanted to do it yourself. Now you can't forget the classic group of girls going out on halloween with a themed loo...

Nice Cheap Make Up

Fun Halloween Leggings

Halloween is all about dressing up and looking good at that party or when you go trick r' treating. But why now dress up anytime of the month these are some cute halloween leggings for the month of October.                                              One reason why I love October/Halloween is all the horror themed stuff that comes out. I am a horror junkie. If you love scary stuff like me you should totally rock these skull leggings. Most stores sell these now as well as tops. I personally wouldn't match the skull leggings with a skull top but sometimes it does work. You can wear boots, heels, or flats to finish this spooky look. When you think of Halloween candy of course you think of candy corn. These cute candy corn leggings are perfect to wear at school, in the house, out with friends, or on halloween day. Pair these leggings with a white, orange, or yell...

Bath & Body Works

So I went to Bath and Body Works and here are some things that I got when I went. I wanted a new fragrance so I discovered this White Citrus scent they have and it is amazing. If you prefer more fruity scents than floral scents this is perfect. This line also has a perfume but sadly I did not have enough money for that. But this smells absolutely amazing and I recommend this line to anyone who loves citrus scented anything. Bath and Body works also added more Shea Butter and Moister to all their moisturizers. I love Bath and Body Works hand sanitizers way too much. Island Margarita is my go to sanitizer, it just smells amazing and some how makes me very happy. I got four hand sanitizers I've never gotten before. Crimson Plum, it's a good scent for winter/Christmas and that's what I'm saving it for. I got Wildberry Kisses and Strawberry Smooches for two reasons. One, they both smell really good because I love berry scents. Two, the bottle pictures are too cute...

Sweater Weather Pt. 2

This SPACE sweater from PACSUN is a fun sweater for school, the beach, or just relaxing. Fun sweaters are a big trend this season. Pair this sweater with jeans, leggings, or comfy sweat pants. This is a more cozy sweater so just create a comfortable look. This elephant sweater is a fun way to show that you love animals or just have a cute fashion sense. Not everyone likes animal print. But you can pretend your arm is the trunk of the elephant so who wouldn't want to buy this?  SoSoHappy!!! Even though this isn't a sweater it is a super cute fun hoodie! If you haven't heard of the SoSo Happy Brand you should look them. These super fun hoodie monsters come in all different types of colors. Show off your fun, cute side with this hoodie. This London skyline sweater is a great sweater for school or a casual day out. City skylines and city names are very popular right now. Sometimes you can buy sweaters like this on amazon for a cheaper price then finding one i...
