Social Media Trends: Community Over Virality- If you follow my social media or just my content in general, you know that I am a personal fan of this as my online niche is about building positive community but seeing online communities and how they have grown within the past couple of years has been such a beautiful thing to witness. TV Shows: The Traitors- I have become so hooked on this show that after I watched all 4 seasons of the US version, I moved on to the UK Celebrity version, & now I've moved on to the latest season of the UK version. I've...

I hope y'all enjoy this blog post & I hope I can bring y'all more of these in the future. Beauty: Dibs Beauty Duo Stick:  I cannot stress enough about how much I love this product. I go back & forth from using Shades 2 & 3 & at first I was super hesitant about the whole stick bronzer/blush combo but this product blends SO WELL together. I am truly so impressed! I usually get my Dibs Beauty products from Ulta. Food/Drinks: Cherry Cola Poppi: For almost a year now, I have fully transitioned into loving Poppis & I have a few go to flavors but my absolute favorite right now is the Cherry Cola flavor.

Hey guys! I wish I could tell the 18-year-old version of myself who first started this blog that I'd be typing up a blog post of an award that I've worked so hard to achieve. This accomplishment shows that you can do anything if you put your mind to it! On my latest podcast episode, I explain more about my evolution within my social media/content creating career and how it led me to getting this accomplishment.  I want to thank my family, friends, and colleagues from the bottom of my heart for supporting me throughout all of obstacles that I've been...

How 2025 Became My Best Year Yet & 26 Goals for 2026 Outfit Details: Top: Abercrombie & Fitch Shorts: Nordstrom Hey guys! I know I have been MIA from the blog for a while (most of the year actually) but I went MIA for very good reasons!  2025 has been full of blessings and amazing memories. As we start goal setting for 2026, I want to recap how 2025 became my best year yet and how going into 2026, I am feeling such a fresh mindset and this positive momentum we had in 2025 will in fact continue in 2026. I want to continue to be a positive force within not only myself but also for the people around me as well. 2025 became the year I have been longing for since I stepped into this crazy world of adulthood at 18 years old and that is, working full time in marketing/social media. Within the company I have worked for the past 2 1/2 years, this past June I switched departments from Membership/Recruitment to full on Marketing which if you have been following me for a while has been...

8 Years of Content Creating.

 8 Years of Content Creating. I haven't celebrated a blogging anniversary in a really long time, but I was looking back on when I started this blog and how long it has been, it absolutely blew my mind. I wish I could tell that lonely & confused 19-year-old me that at almost 28 years old, she is living most of the content creating dream she has always wanted. Thank y'all for being on this ride for 8 years <3 Instagram: @jessicanicoledeleon Podcast: It's A BOP! with Jess on Spotify

March 2025 Favorites

 March 2025 Favorites Hey guys! I'm back with another favorites post. I want to try to do these posts monthly so y'all can kind of know what trends & new stuff I've been digging lately from pop culture, fashion, beauty & so much more! I want this post to be very versatile in the type of favorites that I talk about and not just single it down to one thing. I hope you enjoy this post & stick around for more! Poppi Classic Cola So, I know in the last blog post I discussed falling into the Diet Coke trend but the other trend I have not told y'all about that I have been into lately is Poppi. I've had Poppi in the past, but it was more mixed into alcohol and never by itself. I wanted to get into the Classic Cola because I've been trying to find healthier alternatives to caffeine that aren't just iced coffee or sweet teas, and I really like the taste of the Poppi Classic Cola. It's a lightweight taste and a good pick me up! I want to try some of the...

I Have Fallen into the Diet Coke Trap So, I was seeing people everywhere talk about how they are addicted to Diet Coke & I always just kind of overlooked the thought in general until I actually picked up one & had one. Now, I can't stop drinking Diet Cokes. It actually makes me feel better that I am drinking a zero-calorie drink that still gives me a nice energy booster. Dibs Beauty Duo Stick I was seeing this on EVERYONE's, "Get Re...

 I Hosted My BIGGEST Event Yet with SPONSORS & A DJ!! Outfit Details: Dress: Lulu's Shoes: Dolce Vita (Nordstrom Rack) Necklace: Wild Pink Boutique Earrings: Kendra Scott Hey guys! Since I've used this blog for the past 8 years to talk about events in my life that have been so special, let's talk about MY BIGGEST EVENT I'VE HOSTED YET!! Yes, you saw the title right, I did not only host an event for Galentines but I also had SPONSORS & A DJ! For someone who has been a smaller content creator for 9 years, those words even coming out of my mouth is an absolutely insane feeling!  It all started with a vision to collaborate a pop culture dance party (which is 100% in my element if you personally know me) and bringing the girlies together for the most iconic dance party for Galentines season! The party was called, "Feminomenon: A Galentines Dance Party" (yes, Chappell Roan inspired) & it was going to be a huge celebration of GIRLHOOD which is literally t...

Today's post is going to be for all of my late 20s girlies out there!

Making Fall Fashion Cute in a Coastal City

Making Fall Fashion Cute in a Coastal City Hey guys! Today we will be doing a fashion themed post & today's theme is making fall fashion cute but if you live in a southern coastal city where it is still 90 degrees outside. I feel like there is not enough recognition for coastal falls, especially in fashion so today, we are going to get realistic about fall fashion while it is still 90 degrees outside. Neutrals Go with EVERYTHING! No matter if you are doing a tank top and shorts look or even a sweater with jeans (if you risk being sweaty after the fact), neutrals are a GO TO for every season but mostly for fall. Lean towards your black, white, & even like an oatmeal type of neutral colored clothing & focus on those when building your coastal fall wardrobe. Neutral Outfit Inspo from Pinterest Tube Tops with Light Cardigans Whether you are wearing the tube top with shorts or jeans, if you really want to channel that fall look or even if you are going somewhere indoors wher...

Life Updates - March 2024

Life Updates - March 2024 Outfit Details: Top: HSLOT 2022 in Austin Skirt: Nordstrom Rack Hey guys! Here is your monthly blog update, I need to make a habit of doing these monthly just to document my mid 20s life since I've been documenting almost every moment on here since I was 19. Why not keep the traditions going? HAHA. Anyways. Let's recap what this past month has been like for me so far. So this month alone, I have been having the time of my life with my best friends making amazing memories with them. The first HUGE accomplishment I want to bring up that happened to me at the beginning of the month is that I was featured on my local news for my work with my local women's empowerment group, "Navigating Corpus Christi" for Women's History Month. I shared about the importance that having a community of women means to a woman & it was such a surreal experience! I was able to bring on some of my close friends (most of them I have met through this communit...

I am over the moon happy with life. I am grateful for my professional career, social media career, my support system, & just life in general. I haven't really been able to say that in a super long time or really barely at all in my 20s because navigating young adulthood has crazy ups & downs & for the first time probably ever, I feel extremely fulfilled & I cannot be more grateful for that! This weekend is the beginning of Galentines weekend & I love the celebration of Galentine...
