Prioritizing Your Mental Health While in a Busy, Social, & Successful Season Outfit Details: Top: Shein Shorts: Jewels Earrings: Francesca's Hey guys! It has been a MINUTE since I last did a blog post & that is because over the past few months, I have seen so many positive life changes in my work, social, personal, & content creating lives. Having all of these lives is such a blessing but at the same time can be overwhelming in the best way possible. People think you only need to prioritize your mental health when you are stressed or depressed but that is not true AT ALL! Today's blog post, I'm going to go over some tips of how you can prioritize your mental health through a positive season in your life. #1: Worry About Your Own Success Story With success comes those who either celebrate your success or wish the vision was done differently & this is a huge life lesson I've had to learn in the past month alone & we all have been in this position befor...

This is 26. Outfit Details: Store Picture was Taken In: Kendra Scott during my NCC Kendra Scott Event Dress: Main Street Clothing Co. (Local) Jewlery: Kendra Scott Hi guys! WOW it's been a crazy last couple of months & I'm finally being able to blog again. So, I turned 26 this past Monday & there's so many emotions around being 26. I don't feel too young, but I don't feel too old. It's this weird in between feeling. So now that I have y'all's attention, I will give y'all a short summary of all of the amazing things I've been up to within the past couple of months & I say short summary because I could literally write a whole book on these past couple of months alone, but this is a blog, not a book.  A List of Life Updates & Amazing Things That Have Happened to Me Since April 2023: I started a new rewarding job back in April that has made me a lot more mentally happy & motivated & I feel like I'm closer to finding my tru...

Summer 2023. Outfit Details: Hat: Tula (Wildflowers) Dress: Francesca's Sunglasses: Target Purse: Somewhere in Italy Earrings: Main Street Clothing Co. Shoutout to Wildflowers for gifting me this SUPER CUTE HAT! If you need anything for your next beach trip, it's protection from the sun!

It's finally SUMMERTIME and every year for the past 6 years of having this blog, I do kind of an introduction of what my summer is going to look like and telling y'all what I have planned for the summer. Throwback to 6 years ago, I use to do daily #SummerLife posts (who remembers those?) but this year, I want to try my best just to update y'all on here whenever I do have exciting things going on during the summertime!  My favorite time of year growing up was summertime beca...

Life Updates - April 2023 Entire outfit is from Main Street Clothing Co. Hey guys!! HAPPY APRIL! So much has been happening in my life lately that deserved its own blog post. As you can see from the photo above, I am wearing a head to toe look from a local boutique because I got to MODEL for the boutique. I never thought modeling would ever be something I would do but it happened & it was such a huge confidence boost! I enjoyed every moment of it! I love fashion and having worked in a boutique when I was 20/21 years old, the fact I even get opportunities like this is truly insane!!  So, this year started off not so great with lots of challenges & hard times but this month, things are already starting to look up for me in so many positive ways & I am super blessed! I start a new exciting job in a few weeks & I will start traveling for concerts again! My first out of town show of the year will be the Eras Tour in Houston & I AM SO EXCITED!! I've never seen Taylor ...

6 Years Later. Hey guys! I have so much to update & this blog post will be exactly that. Whenever major life changes or events happen in my life, for the past 6 years I love to go back to my original Blogspot blogging roots to update y'all on what's going on. It's crazy to think my young adult content creating journey started on a Blogspot blog when I was 19 years old with absolutely no idea with how much this blog would evolve. I knew eventually that being a local influencer would be something I'd want to do someday but to think that I'm being categorized as one still blows my mind. Last night, I got invited by one of my favorite local boutiques to sit with them & represent the boutique in the audience of a exclusive local fashion show. If someone had told 2018 me this, I would have thought you were insane because I always dreamed of getting a opportunity to go to an event like that! I was absolutely overwhelmed in the best way possible by how much fun this...

February 2023 Hey guys! I felt inspired to do a blog post today about life lately & all of that fun stuff. I'm not going to lie; this past month hasn't been easy at all & I've been faced with so many challenges that I am still in the process of overcoming but I have faith that there is a light at the end of a dark tunnel & that good things will happen to me very soon! Last month, I did a blog post of 5 things I wanted to accomplish in that month & let's see if I stayed true to everything, I promised I would accomplish!  1. Start reading more books that will impact my life in a positive way: Well, that was a very specific way of me saying that I should pick up a book & read & well, I started a book club through my local women's empowerment Facebook group, so we are getting somewhere. I wouldn't say the book I'm reading is impacting my life in a positive way but what is impacting my life in a positive way is starting the book club as a ...

Things I've Learned as a "Small Blogger" Hey guys! Today I thought I would lay on my couch & do a formal blog post since I want to get back into my blogging game. Today's topic is going to be all about the things I've learned as a "Small Blogger". I have been blogging since 2017 & have grown my platform to content creating on Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok, etc. Over the years, I've learned a lot about the blogging industry & if y'all have followed this blog for a while, this has been my experimental platform as far as content goes. I hope y'all enjoy today's post & let me know if you are a small blogger what you have learned over the years!  1. Stay True to Your Brand & Passions: I use the word, "Small Blogger" or "Small Influencer" way more often than I would have a few years ago. The day I stopped caring about how many likes & views my content got was the day I stopped having creative block ...

My "Influencer/Blogger" Career Is Looking Up Hey guys! I was going to make this entire blog post about how my mental health hasn't been the best lately & coping skills I use for dealing with tough mental health days like the days I've been having lately, but let's focus on the positive for once because you know, this is a positive platform & want all of my platforms to be, just that! Now, I have been blogging since I was 19 years old (I'm currently 25 years old) & throughout my journey, my "brand" has changed & evolved to suit what I'm currently going through in my life & my interests/hobbies at the time. Even though I don't reach out to blogging as much as I used to, I want to start getting better at it again because there's something so comforting about typing out a post for me.  I'm more active with my content creating on my main social media platforms Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok, & my podcast (It's A BO...

 Empowering & Motivation into The New Year! Click here to join the Facebook Group! My 2023 Vision Board made on Canva & pictures are from Pinterest. Hey guys! This post is a little life updates post and spreading some more positivity on this platform! I want to go back to my blogging roots & so far, I feel like we are on the right track to that! If you are new here or maybe know me best from my podcast (It's A BOP! with Jess on Spotify), I originally started my content creating journey on here when I was 19 years old where I founded it on fashion & beauty but then it evolved into literally every topic under the sun. My mental health hasn't been the best lately due to lots of personal things going on in my life & during these rough mental health times, I like to spread positivity to others & make others feel good about themselves & it usually lifts me up & puts me in an overall better mood! So I launched my local empowering women Facebook Group ca...

 2023 New Year Motivation (Yes, I am talking about motivation with the cover photo being of me with a margarita) Check out Season 4 of It's A BOP! with Jess on Spotify starting TODAY! Hey guys! I am challenging myself this year to go back to my blogging roots & motivate y'all in any way y'all need it. My 2023 so far has been AMAZING & A DREAM COME TRUE (for many reasons)! I love to spread positivity & motivation to others because at times, I even need it and that's what this post is all about! This post is for the people who want to be more motivated & positive entering the new year but aren't finding the inspiration to do so. I'm here for y'all!! Make Time for Those You LOVE: I even struggle with this at times because with having a full-time job, I love being in my workday routine & my weekends are for me to catch up on content & most importantly, SLEEP! I am making it a challenge for myself & for others to go out with your frien...

 HAPPY 2023! Hey guys! HAPPY 2023! This picture above is me on New Year's Eve spending in the most Jess way possible which is in a hot tub by the beach. I'm making it a New Year's Resolution to myself this year that I find the motivation to blog again as well as have my podcast to talk about my life on. Mostly my podcast I just talk about music & the concerts I've been to but this year, I'm challenging myself to be more personable with y'all & share my mid 20s life experiences with y'all.  I think of where I was this time a year ago & I knew that 2022 was going to be life changing for me but not in the ways that it ended up being. When I started this blog at 19, I was one lost & confused gal trying to find my place in this crazy young adult world. 2022 was the year that everything I worked my butt off for came to me career wise & in this new year, I strive to create bigger goals for myself to accomplish greatness for myself & be an in...
