Skinny Spaghetti Squash Alfredo

This is so delicious and really good if you're a vegetarian. It's also a nice meal to have if you are trying to be healthy. I love pasta so much and this is a greta alternative for pasta and it taste amazing. INGREDIENTS: 1 medium-sized spaghetti squash 1 Tablespoon butter 3 cloves of garlic, finely minced 2 Tablespoons flour 1 cup milk (I used fat-free) 1 Tablespoon cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus 2 Tablespoons extra for topping 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper Crushed red pepper flakes and fresh parsley, for optional garnish DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. First, prep the squash. Cut spaghetti squash in half using a large sharp knife, scoop out the seeds and place cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet covered with water. Bake until tender, about an hour. As an alternate way of baking:  Poke a few holes deep into the whole squash with a paring knife....

New Hair, New Me

They say when a girl changes her hair something drastic has happened to them in their life. I feel we do it for a change. When something big happens you need to show it. I have been so busy and had a lot of things change and happen to me in the past few weeks. That I decided to cut my hair and do something different with it. I was scared to do it because I have had long hair for a while now. My hair is like a safety blanket and cutting it off was a big decision but I felt like it was something I needed to do.  I'm ready for a fresh start and my hair was the first step. Things are looking brighter and better. Make sure to follow me on instagram @jessyjen for #100happydays because you can make your own happiness by finding a positive in everyday.

Diagon Alley

So I went to Diagon Alley and here are a few pictures for you to see! It is so amazing and so much fun and you could literally spend hours in there. I recommend buying one of the interactive wands because it is so much fun walking around Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade casting spells! Don't get me started on Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts. You just have to ride it and see how awesome it is yourself. Butterbeer Ice cream is obviously a must have but my personal favorite is the earl grey and lavender ice cream. I know it may sound weird but at least have a taste test of it.  Specialty Chicken Sandwich, Tongue Tying Lemon Squash, and a Sticky Toffee Pudding is my order at The Leaky Cauldron in case you were wondering.   If you are a huge Harry Potter fan like myself walking into the land alone makes you feel like you just walked into the movie and you almost want to cry at how amazing it all is. I will try and make a video series on Diagon...

More fashion and life style posts soon

I am sorry I have not been posted much lately. I have been super busy with work and I have been sick. But looking back at an older post where I talked about how stressed and negative I was. It's so nice to see how positive and happy I am right now. I got another promotion at work which is fantastic. It's so great to see the managers see the hard work I do and reward me for it. I've only been at this job for five months and have moved up twice. I'm so excited to start being train in my new role at work and I promise I will soon be posting more. I have also been sick. Which his not fun at all. I have been trying to get rid of it but for some reason it is staying.  I am still active and working and won't let this cold affect my personal life. I also have a boyfriend. It has been a little bumpy but he makes me so happy. He's such a sweetheart but he's a little mean. But in a good way. No one wants someone who's too sweet. I know I'm not the sweetes...

Summer Tropics Outfit

So to me this is the start of summer here in Orlando. It's the quite season where all the locals start to do some of the summer things before all the tourist get here. I love this tropical top because it is light and summery but it also has spring pastel colors in it. I just tucked into my favorite pair of jean shorts and used a mint bag that matched the top. I wore nude flip flops since it has a lot of color in the top. Top: Forever 21 Shorts: Aeropostal  Purse: Pacsun Flip Flops: Payless Sunglasses: Claire's Bow: Claire's

Worrying doesn't take away tomorrows troubles, It takes away todays peace

I have been worrying over little things that in the big picture it really isn't worth worrying about. When did I start doing this? I'm not some one who really worries to much about what people think or work or guys or anything.  I need to try and figure out how to change this because being stressed out starts in the mind and it all goes down to you. I'm going to take a few steps back and reflect on whats happened. There has been some work drama and I cut two people out of my life who were bringing my positivity down to a level I didn't like. I was close with them but I can't have people in my life who stress me out more than having fun. If you have people like this in your life I recommend cutting them out of your life or at least taking a break from seeing them for awhile.  I am right now transitioning over to a new position at my job in a new area that isn't open yet. It's been kind of stressful because my hours have been cut back and no one really kno...
