Ways I Stay Organized & Balanced while Having a Full Time Job, a Podcast, a Concert Addiction, & a Social Life

Ways I Stay Organized & Balanced while Having a Full Time Job, a Podcast, a Concert Addiction, & a Social Life Hey guys! Today's post is going to be all about organization! If 2022 has taught me anything, it's taught me the necessary skills I need to stay organized. I have a full-time job in apartment leasing (I also create social media content for the community), a pop culture podcast (which is currently on hiatus), a concert addiction, & a social life. How in fact do I balance all of that without going absolutely crazy? Well, I'm about to tell y'all exactly what I do! Creating the Healthy Balance Between Your Work Life & Life Outside of Work Since having a full-time job, it's hard at times to keep your full-time job only at work. There are times where I think about things I need to do & the #1 thing that's helped me keep that balance is not taking my work home with me. I have a planner I only keep at work & then I am in the process of g...

My 2023 New Year's Resolutions

My 2023 New Year's Resolutions Season 4 podcast logo launch! New episodes coming in 2023!  Check out seasons 1-3 now on Spotify! Hey guys! It's that time of year again where I share with y'all my New Year's Resolutions for the upcoming year. Last year, I did not post my 2022 resolutions because frankly, I was super insecure & I was not believing in myself that these things would happen. Most of my resolutions from this year did come true to me in some ways & I can't be prouder of myself on how much I have accomplished within this past year! This year, I wanted to post my resolutions because I have a lot of faith in my resolutions for the upcoming year. I believe 2023 will be filled with more positive change and uplifting moments for myself & I want to inspire y'all as well to take pride to motivate yourself to accomplish the goals you want to accomplish! My 2023 New Year's Resolutions 1. Continue Having a Creative Mindset to Motivate Myself to do...

Hot Girl Fall Walks - The Best Form of Self Care! Outfit Details: Shirt & Shacket: Simply Cruz Collections Leggings: PINK Belt Bag: Amazon Hey guys! Happy Fall & wow, this weather is GORGEOUS! I've been looking for new ways to better myself physically & mentally & the Hot Girl Fall walks are something I highly recommend. I'm not only challenging myself, but I also challenge y'all to once a week go to a nice park, walking trail, or beach (if that's possible) in your area and take 30 minutes-1 hour out of your day to put some calm music on & simply go on a peaceful walk and enjoy the fresh air!  This is a pic from my first official Hot Girl Fall Walk of the season! I chose Cole Park in Corpus Christi, TX as my first destination because you look at the beautiful bayfront & it's a nice long trail!  Music I Had for My Hot Girl Fall Walk: Satellite by Harry Styles Message in a Bottle by Taylor Swift Anti-Hero by Taylor Swift Humankind by Coldplay H...

August 2022 Life Update & New Podcast Logo Reveal!! Swimsuit is from Dillard's HAPPY AUGUST!!! Alexa, cue August by Taylor Swift. What better way to reveal my new podcast logo than on my OG blog? Last time we talked, I had just started my new job & already was seeing life changing things happening to me. That still remains the same, my life is changing in unbelievable ways & my years of hard work are finally paying off! I know I had mentioned that my first episode of Season 3 of my podcast, "It's A BOP! with Jess" was going to premiere August 7 (this Sunday to be exact) but it may have to be postponed. It's not for sure thing, just come personal stuff came up within the past couple of hours that may have me delaying the premiere.  Other than the past couple of hours, life has been GREAT for me lately & I've been pretty content with my life at the moment. I mentioned in a post a few months ago that I've wanted to get back into blogging like ...

This is 25.

I turned 25 on July 10 & life already has been so positive & great for me. We started off 25 on a very well, AMAZING START!

I've currently completed 2 weeks at the complex & my life is already changing in so many positive aspects & I'm learning so many interesting things! So, I haven't started officially leasing apartments yet, so I've been watching training videos, answering resident/customer calls, & getting set up on my complex's Instagram. If y'all have known me for a while or have been following this blog for a while, I have been wanting to be a social media manager or content creator for a place I've worked at for so long & it...

Entering a New Chapter in My Life

Entering a New Chapter in My Life Hey guys! It's about time I do another life update post and share what is going on in my life these days while also reflecting on a whole lot. This blog was the blog that started all of my content creating & since I was 19, I have documented every step of my young adult life from getting new jobs, going to concerts, & honestly figuring out the type of content creator I wanted to be & I've done a whole lot of experimenting on this blog with what content I'm passionate about & what content was truly... just a phase.  This was also the platform that made me realize that I wanted to pursue social media & marketing as a long-term career. My career journey has been a wild one & at times, I'm glad I documented all of this because looking back on some of this stuff is just so wild to me but also makes me so freaking proud of how far I have come. When I started this blog, I was 19 years old with a little part time job at ...

Night in the Life of Jess - Self Care Friday Top is from Shein Hey guys! HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!! I want to get back into lifestyle blogging so badly & if you are new here, I use to be a lot more consistent with this but then life got crazy, I started a podcast, & I launched a whole other blog that prioritizes my award show content ( jessicanicoledeleon.wordpress.com ). Today though, we are going back to my Lifestyle Blogspot roots!!!  It's finally the weekend & I came home from working all day & simply just had the motivation to do a, "Day in my Life" post or as you could say now, "Night in the Life of Jess" post.

It's currently May 7 & I thought I would come on here & share updates on my life & keep y'all in the loop of what's going on with the future of blog, podcast, & award show predicting season content. If you are new to this blog... hey.... this is a blog I've ran & operated since 2017 & I know I've been MIA to focus on other areas of my life but lately, I've really missed this platform & want to slowly get back into the swing of things on here. When I first started this blog in 2017, I had a series of posts called, "Summer Life". It showed my day-to-day routine & all of the fun summer things I was doing while also documenting navigating the crazy world of being a young adult. I'll tag the Summer Life tag underneath this post so y'all get an idea of the posts I would do for this little series. I've t...

5 Years Later.

 5 Years Later. Long time no talk guys! I can't believe I'm seriously doing my first post of 2022 on my original lifestyle blog in February (a whole month later)! I have a lot to update y'all on & I want to do it on a platform where it all began for me in my blogging/serious content creating career. In April will be my 5-year blog anniversary & 5 years since I launched this blog with the intentions of it being strictly about fashion, beauty, & music. At the time I launched this blog, I was going through one of the most growing periods of my life. I had gone through my first real heartbreak, lost the Twitter account that was a HUGE part of my identity in middle school/high school, & overall was a confused & lost 19-year-old with 0 idea on what I wanted to do with my life. When I first started this blog, I would post I kid you not 5 times a day (a lot of my older posts were deleted as part of a rebranding process) because I was so excited that I had a bran...
