Now that it's getting closer & closer to 2018 I thought I would put down a few of my 2018 goals & pretty much things I want to work on to better myself for the new year. I pray that 2018 brings me nothing but blessings. I've learned a lot of valuable life lessons & have had my ups & downs in 2017 but now this year is gonna be nothing but positivity. This year is definitely going to be the year I start going back to the gym more & more often. Me & my mom are going to buy a excersize bike & we're going to have it somewhere in the house so hopefully that will motivate me to do cardio daily & to get my lazy butt off of the couch & be more fit. This year I'm going to do a lot of relaxation things & really start journaling my feelings more & more often when times get tough instead of bottleing in feelings & making myself so stressed. My main problem is that I overthink every little thing even the tone of someone's voice ...

I just wanted to post this because I am so proud of my lip color today. I mixed 2 Lip creams together. The Rome Matte Lip Cream & the Rome Metallic Lip Cream. I'm so proud of how it turned out & it looked great with my sweater today which by the way I got it at AGACI a few years ago.

I already opened up all of the Lip creams because I was super anxious to try the colors out & my favorite out of all of them so far is the Rome lip cream. Also I love how my new Highlighter feels. It's so soothing on my skin & it's not too cakey like a lot of the highlighters that I see around these days. Thanks Mady for the amazing Christmas presents!

So the past 24 hours have been insane as I took a trip with my family to Bastrop for my aunt & uncle's 50th wedding anniversary party. The place we stayed at was this super gorgeous resort that was almost in the middle of nowhere but it was so secluded from everything it really made you feel like you got away on a vacation. I'm going to show several pics of how gorgeous this place was & how great of a time I had with my family!

ABH Liquid Lipstick Kathryn I'm wearing the ABH Liquid Lipstick I got in this selfie of me in the snow (it's a rare occassiom in Corpus I know). I got the Lipstick at the Dillard's sale last week & they were 16 dollars y'all I had to pick one up since I've been dying to try one & I am highly impressed. It's totally worth the money! I 10/10 recommend!

I'm going to create a Top 5 Gifts for every type of girl this holiday season. Especially little things because I know especially if you are in your early 20s like me the most grand gift isn't exactly in your budget even though the person you are buying for deserves the most grand gift in the whole entire world (well they kind of already have that with your presence tbh). The Holiday Obsessed Friend: 1. Christmas Themed Coffee Cups 2. Christmas Themed Kitchen Supplies 3. Christmas Themed Aprons 4. Holiday Food!! 5. Christmas Themed Sweaters The Chef Of The Holidays: 1. Coffee Cups 2. Tea Towels 3. Wine Glasses 4. Plastic Cups (Christmas Themed of course) 5. Christmas Themed Plates The Nick Nack Obsessed Friend: 1. Thoughtful Quotes Trays/Boxes 2. Figurines (if they are collectors) 3. A Cute Stocking (& put Gifts of your choice in them) 4. A Bag of all of her favorite things/hobbies/things that describe how much you love her 5. Tumblers Cute Gift Ideas ...

Nope I probably haven't accomplished one thing from my last bucket list but let's try this again of fun holiday things I wanna do! - I've been working on the blog every chance I've gotten to & I've definitely improved a lot but there's still a lot I wanna work on to better myself on the blog. I'm currently blogging on my computer which is a very rare occasion so maybe I'll play around with some effects to make the blog somewhat presentable. - I also wanna drink more cinnamon coffee because I had some yesterday morning while it was snowing (it's a rare occasion in Corpus for it to snow) & I became obsessed! - I don't know about y'all but this cold weather constantly makes me crave 3 things. Jason's Deli, McAlister's, & Starbucks. I haven't been to any of those 3 places in forever & by forever I mean weeks & months. That's definitely a must have for me so I can stop craving it like I'm craving all 3...

It's all about the stocking stuffers right? Well here is a list of different cute Christmas nick nacks or extra little stocking stuffers from a variety of websites! Holiday Bath Set The smell of the holidays is always a great Christmas gift idea! You can get a variety of scents from vanilla, gingerbread. & even mint. Christmas Themed Pillows It may not go directly in the stocking but it's definitely a nice decor to give for someone's couch or room. Wine Holder Every adult loves a good wine holder right? Especially a Christmas themed one that would be adorable at the family functions. Stuffed Animals Do you have any younger siblings, cousins, nieces, or nephews to get a little gift for? They can never go wrong with a cute Christmas themed stuffed animal.

I know I'm single & I've maybe only been on a few dates or "hang outs" or whatever it was called but  for any guys that read this blog which is probably none for now these are different holiday date ideas that every girl basically wants to be taken on. I personally wanna be taken on these dates as well so HINT HINT! Most of these dates will be Corpus based dates by the way. Christmas Light Looking: For any Corpus guys reading this almost every girl wants to be taken on a Candy Cane Lane date. I wanna even be taken out on this kind of date. It's honestly such a pure & innocent date especially for the first date. Walks Downtown In The Cold: Especially downtown Corpus. Cruising downtown is pretty nice but walking down there in the cold is nice as well for a date. Just walking & talking about life by the Harbor Lights tree & by the water. I would definitely wanna be taken out on that type of date. Hockey Game/Ice Skating: I suck at ice skating...

I'm going to start making bucket lists of what I wanna do with my friends for this Christmas break coming up as everyone starts becoming more available to hanging out & stuff. I probably won't accomplish every single thing on this bucket list but if I do I will definitely be tweeting about it & posting pics on Instagram. - This one will definitely happen but inbetween working a lot I definitely need to take time to relax, discover new music, & binge watch new shows. I'm currently binge watching The OC on Hulu. It's a show I've been wanting to watch for a while now & this show is so entertaining. I just love 2000s teen dramas. - Update my winter wardrobe & start going through my closet getting rid of old winter clothes that I want to sell to the local resale shops in town. I never really get to overly update my winter wardrobe because it really only gets cold here like twice a year so what's the point in buying a bunch of winter clothes yo...

Every year at Christmas for my family at least the treats is what makes the holidays the best. My personal favorite tradition that my family does is that we make this fudge recipe that's literally the best thing in the whole world. This year I wanna make fudge but I also wanna make other new treats. This is a list of ideas I have found on Pinterest that I'm really curious to try out. Soft Batch Christmas Sprinkle Cookies I love soft cookies & I love sugar cookies. I saw this on Pinterest a while back & I can literally already taste this picture because these cookies look so yummy & it honestly looks like a simple recipe. Rudolph Peanut Butter Cookies I saw this recipe & I never really go for peanut butter cookies but I think the cute Rudolph theme drew me in to doing more research on this. I wanna expand my horizons when it comes to Christmas treats & this one would definitely be different. Hot Chocolate Cookies THE CHOCOLATE MELTED ON THIS COOKIE M...

This is a continuation of my thoughts on the Grammy nominations this year. Best R&B Performance Get You by Daniel Caesar & Kali Uchis Distraction by Kehlani High by Ledisi That's What I Like by Bruno Mars The Weekend by SZA I want Ger You, Distraction, or The Weekend to win. Honestly though I don't even know why That's What I Like is in this category. I consider that song more pop but oh well I hope one of my top choices wins. Best R&B Song First Began by PJ Morton Location by Khalid Redbone by Childish Gambino Supermodel by SZA That's What I Like by Bruno Mars I really want Khalid to win this because I love him soooo much! Best Urban Contemporary Album Free 6LACK by 6LACK Awaken My Love by Childish Gambino American Teen by Khalid Ctrl by SZA Starboy by The Weeknd SOOOO MANY GOOD ALBUMS TO PICK FROM THIS IS GONNA BE SO HARD! My Top 3 would have to be 6LACK, Khalid, & The Weeknd! I hope one of them wins! Best Rap Performance ...

So Grammy nominations came out today which I always get super excited about because the Grammy's are my favorite award show. It use to be the VMA's but the past 2 years haven't been wild enough for me so I'm going to now say that the Grammy's are my favorite lol. I thought I would talk about how I feel about each of the main nominations & others I care about. Record Of The Year: Redbone by Childish Gambino Despacito by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, & Justin Bieber The Story Of OJ by Jay-Z Humble by Kendrick Lamar 24K Magic by Bruno Mars Out of all of these I want Humble to win just because I love Kendrick Lamar so much & this past album he put out was soooo good. I'm kind of upset about this category cause I was really hoping Shape Of You or I Feel It Coming was going to be on here. Both of those songs deserved to be on there! Album Of The Year: Awaken My Love by Childish Gambino 4:44 by Jay-Z Damn by Kendrick Lamar Melodrama by Lorde 24K...

So today I went to Kohl's which was actually my first work place & I picked out a few things at such good prices. The leggings are SO which is such a comfortable brand & I actually get a lot of my more comfortable wear from this brand in the juniors department & y'all the leggings were 9.99. I got one for everyday & the ones on the left are a personal favorite which are holiday themed leggings which I'm currently wearing rn as I'm relaxing in bed. The sports bra & bralette in the second pic ranged from 12.99-14.99 which are really great deals. I've been needing a new black sports bra for such a long time because my one I have is getting too small & I just felt like getting a new bralette since I love the whole bralette trend. In the last pic of course are new Cuddl Duds socks I got for 5 BUCKS!!! What a deal!!! They are my favorite socks to have for the holidays. Kohl's brands are so under appreciated y'all.

I thought I would do a combination of Fall things. I know some of y'all have officially declared it's Winter but here in South Texas we barely even get a Fall or Winter so now that it kind of feels like fall here (it will honestly probably only last a week) I thought I would chat about some fall things. Fall Things: Fall Eyeshadow Palettes (all from Morphe): Morphe 15D Palette Morphe 15N Palette Random fact: My favorite thing to eat for thanksgiving is mashed potatoes like y'all I can literally live off of mashed potatoes 365 days of the year & I always get most excited to eat mashed potatoes with some yummy brown gravy. I'm just getting hungry thinking about how much I'm looking forward to this.

I'm going to review my makeup looks I've posted on this blog in the past year (from April to now) & review them & give my honest opinions on them! I've learned so much about makeup in the past year & I continue to learn more & more every single day. I know I'm not an expert & I probably will never be an expert but I just love makeup so much. This was a look I did back in May & I think I was going to work & I really wanted to be glammed up that day because I was feeling real confident in this selfie with that red lipstick & brown eye look lol. This is the only full face I've done on someone else which this is my friend Andy by the way & I also did this look back in May & for the first full face I've done on someone I'm still highly impressed with how decent it came out. This is a pretty go to look for me to be honest & I'm so used to doing this look that I do it at least once a week. Let's talk ab...

Of course they are Francesca's but the other day I bought the roll up Boho Belle fragrance & I love it so much! Also I love my Romantic hand cream & cant wait to buy the perfume in it someday!

Yooo I don't even have to promote every single post & there's always 2 people that view it & I just wanted to post saying that y'all are real homies & I love y'all. Anyways! I am exhausted from working this 5 day strecth at work but y'all the pay check is going to be AMAZING!!! Last week I was so stressed out & now I feel a lot more relaxed & putting a lot of my time into work has helped even though it's exhausting (at least I sleep well at night). Well I just wanted to do a quick post about the 2 people who regularly view my stuff lol.

This was from back in May! Top: PINK Shorts: AGACI??

I started this blog back in April as a way to share my passions for fashion, music, & makeup which are 3 things I absolutely love. When I started this blog I was starting to get back on my feet after going through a rough time in my life & I had no idea what direction I was going to go in my future & to be completely honest I still don't completely know where I'll end up but we'll just go with the flow & whatever happens will happen.  When I started the blog I was holding a job at Express which in a way inspired me to start blogging & really focus on a career in fashion. I am sadden to announce that I have officially quit the job to pursue more time in my current newest job at Francesca's. Was this a tough decision for me to make? Of course it was. I had felt so much passion in this Express job for a long time & I was so sad to let it go but it was a decision I had to make for myself eventually.  I'll always be thankful for this ...

In honor of buying this super cute top above which is a off  the shoulder with embroidery on it I've decided to create a little list of tops that are of that style that you can buy at any place! I'll mix in a few of just embroidery or just off the shoulder but if you are really into this trend & don't know where to buy I'll give you a list down below! Francesca's  - off the shoulder & embroidery! American Eagle  - cold shoulder with embroidery! Francesca's  - cold shoulder with embroidery! AGACI  - off the shoulder & embroidery dress! Francesca's  - off the shoulder & embroidery dress! Express  - off the shoulder & embroidery!

One of my personal favorite trends right now is the T-Shirt dress trend. I'm starting to become more of a dress person now more than I ever have in my life & I love to be comfortable in a cute dress & this trend is so perfect for that casual everyday look especially if you are into dresses. I highly recommend this trend for everyone! How do you accessorize wearing a t-shirt dress? Jewelry forsure!! I usually wear my t-shirt dress above with some dangling earrings & occasionally a longer necklace. Another good idea is wearing some hoops & if you are real brave maybe some cute wedges! Also sometimes I wear a bling bracelet most of the time it's gold to complete the look! Any type of bracelet would go with it. I'm not overly into short necklaces but depending on the style you wanna go for a short necklace would do good as well. Also side note the t-shirt dress I have on in the picture above is from Francesca's! What occasions are perfect for wearing ...

Since my job is to basically put together outfits for people I have decided to come up with a list of different perfect pairings to complete your perfect fall outfit! The Casual "I'm Going To Get My Pumpkin Spice Latte" Outfit: Graphic Tee Ripped Jeans Ankle Boots Side note: You are going to look Instagram model worthy with that outfit & that Starbucks cup in your hands so take pics!! Y'all I know this is off topic but some coffee sounds real good right now! The Trendy Floral Fall Outfit: Floral Wrap Blouse Jeans (any kind of jean would work) A Tote Bag Wedges The Cold Shoulder Trend Outfit: Cold Shoulder Top Crossbody Bag Jeans (any kind of jean would work) Any shoes you feel comfortable would complete the outfit! Date Night in Fall Outfit: Off The Shoulder Dress Lace Up Block Heel Wristlet Statement Necklace

I am finally done converting all of my old threads into Spotify Playlists! Here's a list down below of the links of each thread & I'm more than open to new ideas! My Current Favorites BOPS Old Iconic Bops Favorite   (Country Song Playlist) JAMS Favorite Glee Songs 2000s Playlist Favorite Christian Songs  (nevermind what I said early about finishing all of them I still gotta work on this one)

Here are the links to each playlist below: BOPS Old Iconic Bops Favorite Country Songs JAMS Favorite Glee Songs 2000s Playlist Favorite Christian Songs My Current Favorites

Lately I have been clueless on what to do for my eye makeup & over the past few days I have done my research & looked up different kinds of tutorials to do. This was my favorite look out of the past couple of days I've been looking at tutorials. I wish I could give the person the credit but I found the post on Pinterest lol.

I'm finally going to post about this so I won't have to personally tell everyone the complicated story over & over & every single time I explain it I still get a million questions asked so since it's easier for me to rant on this blog I'm just going to explain here what really happened to my original Twitter account which I had for 6 years & had over 4,000 followers on. I very much cherished that Twitter account because it had 6 years of memories documented & I had a bunch of celebrity follows on it & I was almost "twitter famous" in a way which was a super cool feeling & title to have for a few years. It definitely made me feel like I was important throughout my high school years like I didn't think of that of myself already as the positive & confident person I am. I spent a bunch of my time on Twitter & I went out every now & then but my Twitter account was my main priority & something I valued a lot. I had so ...

Summer 2017 Conclusion Post This summer has been one crazy one!! I have grown so much over the summer it has been insane & that was honestly my main summer goal was to grow into a stronger me. I have gotten a lot stronger since the beginning of the summer & that honestly makes me so happy. This summer was so different from other summers I've had. I have had a lot of much needed rest for the most part this summer & I'm thankful I got to have that restful time before taking on this whole 2 job world which y'all it is so exhausting. Lowkey throughout the whole summer interview after interview I was struggling to find second work & the timing for my second job came right at the perfect time. Probably the hardest thing I had to do this summer was let go of summer traditions that had been going on for years for example me deciding not to go to camp this year after going 9 years in a row. I realized later it was for the best & honestly letting go of that ...

This was the second top I got from my AGACI Shopping Haul this past weekend! I love getting cute clothes like these for such a affordbale price!

Peep this planner I got from Francesca's (one of my work places) the other day!! I love how it is a weekly planner & you can start at any week you want! It's been so convenient for me ever since I've started working 2 jobs. I currently work right now at Express & Francesca's. This is something financially I had to do for myself & not going to lie there has been rough times & still some stuff I gotta work out but for the most part it is going great!! I love being surrounded by so many clothes all of the time! Such a dream come true!

This is the most darling embroidered off the shoulder top I got the other day from AGACI! Yes finally guys I did my annual shopping spree over there! There's more outfits I got to share with y'all from there soon!!

Short & Simple I'm going to make this post short & simple because I'm about to leave for work. I had lost hope a bit yesterday when times were tough & stressful but I have to remind myself why I am doing this & what will come out at the end of all of this. I am going to remain positive & not let my weakness & insecurities get in the way. 

Busy Busy Busy!! I am currently watching Bachelor In Paradise after a long day at work! I have been super excited to watch this since forever (pardon me I may end up accidentally live tweeting somewhat). I just haven't had time to update the blog lately & I have tons of cool ideas to share with y'all. I'm going to be even more busier as I'm juggling 2 jobs!

pinterest.com/jessicanicoledeleon Most of my posts in the next couple of days will be done on here!!

Quick Update!! Well I'm going to make this a quick update so I can stay active on here but I'm about to hang out with friends tonight & this weekend is going to be a crazy busy weekend with going to a graduation & work all weekend!! Ahh I'll try my best to post!

Update - 8/9/17 This is a quick little update post! I started my first day at my second job Francesca's today & it went very well I can't wait to see where this job is going to take me!! I'm going to have a crazy busy next couple of days so I may not post another Summer Life post for a long long time but we'll just have to see!

I'll be discussing & spitting out facts about this absolutely beautiful look I did today for my first day at my second job! With the shirt I was wearing today of course I wanted to do more of a smokier look if that makes sense. This picture doesn't show a bunch of the details I wanted it to but I just wanna appreciate how soft my highlight was today wow. My blending of my concealer, foundation, & powder was absolutely satisfying & I love how it came out. Here's another selfie I attempted a million times to do an actual picture of my eye makeup & they all came out horrible lol. My eye makeup look was actually a gold smokey eye which unfortunately in these pictures it's hard to tell where the gold is. I wanted to express the brown in this look more especially underneath my eyes since this look was super smokey. I normally don't do under my eyes that dramatic but I thought for a change that it would be kinda cool it's definitely no...

Starting tomorrow I'm going to officially start taking on 2 jobs. As of tomorrow I will start working at Francesca's & still continue working at Express. This is something I've been wanting to do for a while now & I'm so blessed & thankful I finally get to do it. This blog was originally to document my young adult journey & to share my passions with the few people that view this blog. I will be crazy busy with taking on 2 jobs & I won't know if I will even have time to post on here as often as I would like to. I really need to focus on my future with these 2 jobs & if this will end up being a career opportunity for me or not so I will be taking a break from blogging. Most of my posts will be on Pinterest which I will post the link below (man I sounded like a YouTuber when I said that). A few months before I started this blog back in April (I think) I had been at one of the lowest points in my life & this blog has really made me rethin...

Throwback to last summer at my sister's Graduation party with some of my absolute favorite people ever!!

I recently got a brand new purse a few months ago & for my birthday my friend got me the wallet theat matched my purse!! I love Vera Bradley purses because they are so much fun & casual & they literally got with everything literally Most of the purses I've owned in the past 4 years have been only Vers Bradley purses. I love them so much!!

Last Month Of Summer!!! - 8/1/17 The last month of summer can y'all believe it?? This summer has been totally unexpected from what I thought it was going to be & it's way different from summers I've had in the past. In this last month of summer there's several exciting stuff coming up for me. I've been really patient for most of the summer for amazing things to come & damn right those amazing things are starting to come.  I'm going to take on 2 jobs really soon which is going to be a lot of hard work but honestly I've been wanting to do this for a while plus I gotta be able to afford my expensive lifestyle. I'm going to see Ed Sheeran for the 2nd time on August 19 which I am super excited for because Ed is so amazing live.  I'm starting to get ideas of long term goals I have set for myself & the things I've learned the most this summer is that yes I am growing up & adulting is forsure hitting me like a freaking truck. I...

Quick Little Update On Me - 7/30/17 I have been waiting really patiently lately to start my second job already which I'm super pumped about! I feel really passionate on what I'm going to do in these 2 jobs! Ok y'all that's pretty much all that's been happening in my life lol.

7/29/17- I Guess I Was Meant To Binge Watch At Home Instead? So here's a quick snap of what I've been doing all day. Binge watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix. Today has been such a hard day because today I was suppose to travel 7 hours to go see Justin Bieber live in concert but too bad he had to cancel the rest of his tour the one time I plan to go see him. Today has just been weird & sad. I feel weird & sad. I can't believe the one show that would cancel on me was Justin's like this truly isn't fair. I had planned this trip for so long & I had saved up so much money for this show this truly isn't fair. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason but WHY DID THIS HAVE TO BE RUINED??? This week was suppose to be one of the best weeks of summer & to be completely honest it's been one of the worst. This was the first year I didn't go to camp which of course everything does happen for a reason & of course Just...
