5 Days of Meditation, Relaxation, & More!

5 Days of Meditation, Relaxation, & More! Hey guys! I know it's been a while since I last blogged & I'm about to explain right now why that is! If y'all haven't read my other posts, I told myself I was going to take a break from blogging or I should've really just said that I was going to blog less than you've seen lately because I did recently go back into my work routine at the main job I had before this pandemic begun. Lately I've just been feeling super stressed out all of the time because my quarantine routine came to an end & I have to adjust to a whole new routine. 2020 has been a stressful year for everyone & for me in particular, this pandemic has made me reevaluate a lot in my life & a lot of everyday things I LOVED doing like hanging out with friends, going out to restaurants, bar hopping, & even the thing I love the most going to concerts all got stripped away from me & on top of that my work situation at that time cha...

Billboard Music Awards 2020 Nomination Thoughts

Billboard Music Awards 2020 Nomination Thoughts Hey guys! I feel like I've been waiting on this day FOREVER but this pandemic just makes it seem like FOREVER because it was just last month since they announced they were doing these award shows & I did my nomination predictions HAHA! I literally had no idea when I was predicting these awards whether they were going to nominate songs from 2019 or both 2019/2020 so my predictions were honestly a mess! They ended up nominating songs from 2019 (the good old days) & I already have so much to say! I won't be going through every single category because that would make this post WAY TOO LONG so I'm going to do my thoughts on the categories I personally care about or have more thoughts on!  Over a month ago I made predictions to these awards which were WAY OFF because I had no idea how they were going to do nominations with everything so postponed so if you want to see the absolute clownery of that  click here! Fun fact: My f...

Somehow I Ended Up on a Windmill Farm... Outfit Details: Top: Pacsun Bike Shorts: JC Penney Shoes: Madden Girl Scrunchie: Francesca's Sunglasses: They were my friend Mari's but she did get them from Thread's which is a local thrift shop! Hey guys! I'M BACK!! I know I said in my last post I was going to take this break from blogging but today is a cloudy day & I happened to be off so I figured I'd blog & stay tuned for a little upcoming post announcement at the end of the post because this is very long awaited & I'm so excited this post is FINALLY GOING TO HAPPEN!! Today's post I'm going to talk about my adventurous day yesterday & how I ended up taking the photo above of me at a freaking windmill farm! So yesterday started off with trying a new fun local place that I've wanted to try FOREVER! It's a french styled bakery in my area called Bien Merite! I found out about this place on Instagram because I noticed several of my followe...

The New Normal

The New Normal Hey guys! I’m blogging on my phone which y’all know I never do but within the past few days a lot of stuff has happened & I’ve done a lot of thinking so let’s get right into this post! So since mid March, I was furloughed from my main job I had before the pandemic & throughout that time, I’ve been taking online courses to expand my knowledge & been full time blogging which let me tell y’all, these past few months on this blog have been so life changing & when times got rough, I knew I had this blog to depend on & it was one of the few things in my life that wasn’t cancelled so for anyone who’s been viewing my blog since then, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This week, I did go back to that job & I did just start a brand new online course to expand my knowledge! It’s been good to go back to some sense of normality from what life was like before the pandemic! Mentally & emotionally I have learned a lot about myself & grown so much as an individual throu...

Revealing My Spotify Playlists: My Forever Favorites

Revealing My Spotify Playlists: My Forever Favorites Outfit Details: Top: American Eagle Bralette: VICI Earrings: Francesca's Scrunchie: Threads (local thrift store) Hey guys! Today's post is going to be a fun one! Spotify just sponsor me already because I never seem to shut up about my playlists & this app in general. Spotify has literally taken over my life since 2017. What I love about Spotify is sometimes they'll customize playlists for you or even give you playlist ideas! Today, I'll be revealing the new playlist Spotify just came out with called My Forever Favorites. My Forever Favorites So I got a notification the other day that Spotify came out with this playlist called My Forever Favorites where basically you can pick out 5 songs from their recommendations of songs you've had on repeat over the years & you can always add more to this playlist as time goes on! The songs they gave me are more of my current favorite songs & songs I've loved ove...

(Hopefully) My Concert/Tour/Travel Wish List for 2021

(Hopefully) My Concert/Tour/Travel Wish List for 2021 Important side note: I miss Bucees stops on road trips :( Hey guys! I figured this selfie of me wearing a Bucees t-shirt I thrifted at a local thrift shop in my town would be the PERFECT way to start off this post because let's face it, I'M TRAVEL DEPRIVED!!! Today's post is going to be a wish list post which it's been FOREVER since I've done a wish list post but it's not going to be like my old posts where it's just a bunch of makeup & clothes I never actually bought, but today is going to be a wish list of concerts, tours that I really want to happen in 2021 (hopefully), & just in general places I wanna travel to in 2021 that YouTube travel vloggers have inspired me to travel to!  Really though, this is just a wish list of stuff I want to happen when it's safe to do so whenever that will be! *HOPEFULLY THAT'S 2021* Important note before I start making this wish list that this is just str...

Listing EVERY SINGLE Concert I Was Suppose To Go To in 2020 That Didn't Happen!

Listing EVERY SINGLE Concert I Was Suppose To Go To in 2020 That Didn't Happen! Outfit Details: Top: Francesca's Earrings: Threads (local thrift store) Hey guys! The day has come where I unfortunately do the post where I list all of the concerts I was suppose to go to in 2020 that obviously did not happen. This Spring/Summer was suppose to be my busiest summer yet when it came to attending shows & that did come with the consequences of quite a few days where I was super sad over obvious postponement & cancellation announcements.  Today, I am going to not only list the concerts I had planned but also kind of explain what plans I had set up for them & whether I'm going to the postponed dates or not. I am PRAYING concerts come back in 2021!! I truly miss them so much & not having them in my life has been extremely difficult. Stay tuned for tomorrow's post where I talk about what tours & concerts are on my 2021/maybe 2022 bucket list! Show #1: TobyMac...

The MOST COMFORTABLE Sneakers I've Ever Owned!!

The MOST COMFORTABLE Sneakers I've Ever Owned!! Before I start this post, I'll be sharing a link down below of the sneakers I'm not going to shut up about! Click here to check out The MOST COMFORTABLE Sneakers I've Ever Owned!! Hey guys! Today's post is pretty self explanatory because everyone needs to own these sneakers & I'm about to tell y'all exactly why! So, for a while I've been trying to find the perfect casual sneakers to wear with everyday outfits that wasn't too expensive & gave that comfort factor that I want & need in a sneaker. I guess you could say they look like a knockoff Vans & trust me, I've tried them on & I just overall have sensitive feet because Vans are so uncomfortable to me personally & way overpriced for their quality!  These also remind me of Steve Madden sneakers which I've personally owned a pair of those & you REALLY have to break them in to truly get comfortable in them! It took me FO...

Social Media Made Me Do It: The Charli

Social Media Made Me Do It: The Charli (Yes, that is me with my "The Charli" drink in the Whataburger drive thru because I was really wanting a BOB) Hey guys! I really can't believe my morning has turned out the way it has & the inspiration for today's post is based on a 16 year old girl's Tik Tok drink! I really had nothing else better to do with my morning than do exactly this. Actually, I had to get my tire pressures checked & then I just happened to be near a Dunkin so I figured, hey why not try out this drink I've been seeing all over the internet! I don't overly watch Tik Tok but the name Charli D'Amelio is not completely foreign to me! Apparently, she got famous for doing those really basic Tik Tok dances which honestly, I'm kind of jealous.  She's literally 16 getting rich off of that & when I was 16, I was trying to be original on Vine & my content was SEVERLY UNDERRATED (I miss you Vine RIP)! I've had a hard time t...

Adulting & Adventuring with Jess - My New Favorite Cookies & More!

Adulting & Adventuring with Jess - My New Favorite Cookies & More! Hey guys! I know it's been a few days but I've been spending the past couple of days obsessing over the sweet treats I have in this picture above & honestly, I had no actual plot for today's post other than the fact there was going to be a whole column on me talking about these cookies & the brownie. This post should've really been called, "No, Jess is not on a Diet" HAHA! So ANYWAYS, let's get onto today's post where I'll be talking about everything I eat besides anything healthy LOL! So seeing the picture above your mouth probably watered (mine surely did) & I will tell y'all about where I got them from & how amazing they were! This place is called Sugar Sugar which is located in downtown Corpus Christi & I discovered this place through some Instagram stories of people saying how amazing this place is & with the sweet tooth I obviously have, I h...
