A Life Update- October 2021. Outfit Details: Swimsuit: Dillard's Sunglasses: Jewel's (local boutique) Hey guys... I know. I thought I wouldn't be typing on this blog again either but I really miss fashion & lifestyle blogging & for a second I had to come back to my roots & give y'all a life update because why not?? If you haven't noticed... I stopped posting on this blog all together & switched to WordPress. The switch to WordPress was just from the fact the content I wanted to make & the audience I wanted to reach was going to most likely view a WordPress blog. Also... ALSOOOO!! A few weeks ago, I RELEASED MY 2022 GRAMMYS PREDICTIONS on my WordPress blog that I started the rough draft on this blog. I'm so proud of the hard work I put into these predictions so  click here to view those predictions! Within these past couple of months, I've really tried to figure out what type of content I want to post. I have a podcast (It's A BOP! wit...

Serious #SummerLife & Blog Update. Hey guys!! So today's post is going to be a serious & major #SummerLife & Blog Update because I've really thought about this for a while & a lot of changes will be happening, so I will be explaining what changes are happening with this blog & my content in general. For those that have been reading since 2017, this is mainly for y'all. I started this blog in 2017 when I was 19 years old as a fashion, beauty, & music blog because I really wanted to go that fashion blogging route. There were times where my fashion blogging was successful & times where it wasn't as successful & financially, I couldn't go down the fashion blogging route forever because fashion blogging is very expensive. When I found out I couldn't do a strictly fashion blog, I went into lifestyle blogging & I ended up loving going that lifestyle blogging route. Since discovering more lifestyle content, I really lost the true purp...

I'm Slowly Back in My PRIME!! Outfit Details: Top: Old Navy Earrings: Lulus I pre plan my blog posts & I'm currently typing this on June 6, 2021. Don't forget to check out It's A BOP! with Jess on Spotify! Hey guys! I know it's been a while since I last blogged but lately, since I've been getting nomination predictions ready & launching Season 2 of my Podcast, I've been CLUELESS on what to post for my #SummerLife series & the main reason for that is... I've literally haven't done anything eventful enough to post about it. Last night though... I actually got out of my house & did #SummerLife things so let's talk about that! So I worked pretty early yesterday & on a Saturday that's rare for me so I decided to make plans with my best friend. We went out to eat at this Asian place I've been LOVING lately & then we spontaneously went to Port A to help out with a event for her job!  I've missed going to fun little lo...

Summer Life Update. Hey guys! Yes, that is a picture of me above with a Taco Bell freeze. I got the Wild Strawberry one which I have never had before! I got off of work early, so I actually have time to blog, catch up on course work, & other things! This post, is basically going to be a life update post because I feel like I haven't done one of these in FOREVER! I've been blogging for a little over 4 years & throughout the 4 years I've been blogging, I've learned so much about myself & the direction I want to go in as a content creator. I know, I haven't been as active on here this year but that's mainly because I've been putting my main focus on my podcast (It's A BOP! with Jess on Spotify) which I've had a BLAST doing! I'm currently on a little hiatus with my podcast simply because I just needed a few weeks off to be with family, friends, & I've been working a ton lately so balancing the podcast at this moment was truly a lo...

The Annual Beach Trip. Outfit Details: Swimsuit Top: Dillard's Cover Up Skirt: Shein Sunglasses: Jewel's (local boutique) I wish I could tell y'all where the cup is from because it's SO CUTE & PERFECT for my last couple of beach trips! HEYYYY! Yes, I'm coming out of blog retirement slowly but surely! Today's #SummerLife post is going to be all about the past couple of days on my little (kind of) beach trip! My family every May (except for last year), goes on their annual beach trip to Port A & this is such a fun tradition for my family & I. For as long as I can remember, this annual May beach trip has been in my family & personally, it's a fun way to kick off summer! Since Port A is so close to where I live, I didn't spend the night at the condos this time around but next month, we've got a whole other weekend out there! I had an amazing past couple of days out there spending much needed time with family considering I hadn't seen ...

Summer 2021. Outfit Details: Top: Target Earrings: Jewel's (Local Boutique) Necklace: Kendra Scott HEYY!! Welcome to the #SummerLife! I know this post is a few days overdue (usually I start my #SummerLife blog series on May 1 but this year is different), but at least #SummerLife is still alive & well (this blog is also alive & well)!  So if you're new here... what is the #SummerLife? 4 years ago when I started this blog, I had this insane obsession with the YouTube summer series Summer Break (if you remember that show you're a real one) & whenever I decided I wanted to create my own content, a summer series like Summer Break had to be included! The first 2 years of doing the series, I would consistently tell y'all my daily summer activities whether it was working, going to the pool, or going to a concert! Summer is my favorite time of year so glamorizing my summer activities was right in my element! At the bottom of the post I tagged a "Summer Life...

I Went to My First Concert in OVER A YEAR!! Outfit Details: Top: Target Jean Shorts: Francesca's Mask: Amazon Hey guys!! This post is a week overdue but it's finally here! If you don't follow me on social media or don't listen to my podcast, I went to my VERY FIRST CONCERT OF 2021 & it was my first concert in over a year! I still can't believe I got to experience a live show again & I got to do it in a safe socially distanced environment! If you haven't listened to the latest episode of, "It's A BOP! with Jess" I give tips & share my experience of the socially distanced concert experience in my most recent episode! If you don't want to read this little post about the show & you want to hear more detailed audio then  click here to listen to the episode! If you don't want to listen to the episode then... this post is just a short summary of the episode HAHA! Plus, I really need to have this included in my blog! So I saw TobyMa...

Life & Blog Update - 4/9/2021 Hey guys! I feel like one of these is SO LONG overdue especially because of how inactive I've been on this blog due to focusing more on my podcast, "It's A BOP! with Jess" (if you haven't checked it out on Spotify.. do it now)! I'm surprised there are still viewers after the podcast came out so I'm really doing this post for those who still view this blog. I'm going to update y'all on my life, the future of this blog, podcast, & more so let's get right into this because we've got a lot to discuss! So how's life going for me at the moment? I've been consistently busy with work, my podcast, & just keeping up with my closest family & friends. I recently got fully vaccinated so I've been adjusting with knowing that & not living in super constant fear over this pandemic (still wear your masks in public)! I'm going to my first concert of the year THIS TUESDAY!!! AHHH! I can't b...

My Grammys 2021 Recap Hey guys!! So... here it is! My Grammys 2021 Recap (well the written version)! This is my blog post version of my Grammys 2021 recap & this will be my last post for a while as I spend more time focusing on my podcast so let's end things with a bang before I go on a much needed blog hiatus. I did a promise a Grammy recap & I will give y'all.. just freaking that!! Usually every year, I record the Grammys on my DVR & then watch it the next day after watching it live & do my review there but this year, I wanted to switch things up! I will be doing more of a recap than a second by second review! I will be taking a hiatus from blogging to focus more on my podcast so if you haven't listened to it, search It's A BOP! with Jess on Spotify!

How Do I HONESTLY Feel About Grammys 2021... Hey guys! So today's post is going to be sharing my final thoughts before the Grammys TOMORROW!!! ISN'T THAT FREAKING CRAZY?? I have been waiting for this day since Grammys 2020 & since then, a lot has gone on & waiting for this year's awards has felt like YEARS but I am freaking excited it's finally almost here! So today's post is basically going to be the written & very much shortened version of my previous podcast episode! Click here to listen to the episode if you are listener rather than a reader! So, the reason I really got into the Grammys this year is because one of my main quarantine activities was to do Grammy predictions & really dive in to why certain songs & artists get nominated & we are going to talk about how I feel now that the Grammys are TOMORROW! I'm really looking forward to seeing how the General Field categories are going to turn out because I really think Best New Artist...

My Thoughts on Past Best Pop Vocal Album Winners! Hey guys! It’s the start of Grammys week & today I will be sharing my thoughts on past Best Pop Vocal Album winners from the past couple of years! I will be sharing my honest thoughts about each album, whether they deserved the win, & who I think should have personally won. If you like this post, ALWAYS LET ME KNOW & don’t forget to stay tuned for another Grammys themed post later in the week! Click here to see my obnoxious nomination thoughts! When I think of Best Pop Vocal album, I think about who served the BEST vocals & just absolutely killed it so let’s get right into this! Grammys 2000 Winner: Brand New Day by Sting Other Nominees: Millennium by the Backstreet Boys, Believe by Cher, Ricky Martin by Ricky Martin, & Mirrorball by Sarah McLachlan  So I am very familiar with the Brand New Day album because I grew up listening to a lot of Sting. I get why it won but at the same time... MILLENNIUM IS A ICONIC ALB...

Filling in the Blanks... (My 2021 Grammys Performers Predictions) Hey guys! I guess Grammys week is starting a day early this year because CBS did these fill in the blank artist line up reveal & I couldn't help but do a whole entire blog post predicting who's performing this year. Hopefully, I'll be right! Today's blog post is going to be me trying to fill in these blanks & predict who I think is going to perform at the Grammys this year!

The official performers will be announced tomorrow just like the picture says above! There wi...

Happy 4 Year Anniversary American Teen! Hey guys! I am feeling a little bit nostalgic today so I decided hey, why not blog about it? It is currently March 3, 2021 aka the 4 year anniversary of Khalid's debut album American Teen! This album means the world to me because it really got me into Khalid & I just began to love him so very very much. I regret not going to the American Teen Tour but going to the Free Spirit Tour made up for it! Click here to see my Free Spirit Tour experience post that is getting views again! Whenever this album came out, I was 19 years old & it was the year after I graduated high school. I was really trying to really get into a new artist & then I was on Twitter which at the time was brand new because my old Twitter account had gotten suspended so I was trying to rebrand myself on Twitter.  I ran into Khalid on Twitter & the first song I heard was Location & I was into it then I heard Saved & immediately I fell in love.  I star...

Stats for Spotify Results (February/March 2021) Hey guys! I know I didn't do a Stats post last month because I was on a blog break & my Stats results were IDENTICAL as the December/January results so I didn't really want to post them. I also post music I'm into on my podcast, "It's A BOP! with Jess" & a lot of the music I'm currently into is discussed on the podcast. If you want to check out the podcast, it's linked on the side of my blog or simply look it up on Spotify! It's crazy to think I did my first Stats post ONE YEAR AGO! I intentionally did the post because I had discovered the website & wanted to share my results, then it became a tradition of mine on here & the views I got from each post were getting higher & higher so I figured this would be a fun monthly tradition so happy 1 year to that! ANYWAYS! Let's see what music I've been into lately! I will be posting my Top 10 most played songs from the last 4 weeks ...

Let's Chat: Let Me Catch Y'all Up! Hey guys! I know, I've been using the same selfies over & over but I haven't simply been in a picture taking mood ever since this winter storm hit Texas or honestly just in general like even on Snapchat, usually I'm all about taking selfies daily & showing my not so exciting life on there but nope. My few snap friends (because I've heard horror stories about having your snap on public & if you want my snap, no you aren't getting it) have just been getting song screenshots from me because I really don't know what else to post. I just wanted to do this post because I know I've been super MIA on here & I was mainly MIA on here because I was focusing on my podcast & other possible content creator avenues. I'll always have a soft spot for this blog so that's why I didn't deactivate it completely. I did in fact delete a TON of older posts that just didn't align with what I wanted my con...
