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...

 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

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 ...

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...

 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...

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 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...

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 ...

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 ...

Summer Life 2022 Update, Season 2 Podcast Finale Announcement, & Early Award Show Predicting Season Hey guys! 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. 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...

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...

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...
