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 ...

I'm Slowly Back in My PRIME!!

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.

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.

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.

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...

VMAs 2020: Song of the Summer Nomination Thoughts

VMAs 2020: Song of the Summer Nomination Thoughts Hey guys! I really thought my VMAs Nomination Thoughts for this year would only be one post but clearly, I was wrong! We have ONE MORE CATEGORY to talk about which just announced their official nominees & that's for "Song of the Summer"! Today, I'll be giving y'all my official thoughts on the songs nominated, who I think is going to win, & who I personally am rooting for to win. If you're new here, I have been actively doing award show themed posts since 2017 but recently in the past year I have really dug into making predictions & actively doing music award show pots! I will link down below my other posts related to the VMAs if you are new here & want to check out those! Click here to check out my pre-VMAs Nomination announcement post where I predicted what I thought was going to be nominated!

I Should Have Been Seeing Harry Styles Today...

 I Should Have Been Seeing Harry Styles Today... (Top & Necklace are from Francesca's) If you haven't listened to Harry Styles' latest album Fine Line, stop whatever you are doing & go listen to it!! HAPPY AUGUST 11, 2020!!! Back in January, I thought I would be blogging about this day in a totally different way but 2020 of course had different plans. Once upon a time, in a time where COVID19 didn't exist I had gotten tickets to go see Harry Styles & it was suppose to happen today. Fast forward to June, Harry Styles made the right decision to postpone his tour for next year which made my concert date change to September 9, 2021.  I'm always honest on this blog on how I'm feeling & the answer is no, I am not okay. I am a emotional wreck. I know this is for the best but it still hurts. Today's post is going to be a "Day in the Life of Jess" post showing y'all everything else I'm doing BUT SEEING HARRY STYLES. I just got to rem...

Summer 2020 Day in the Life of Jess: Coffee with a View & I'm Cancelling My Gym Membership?!

Summer 2020 Day in the Life of Jess: Coffee with a View & I'm Cancelling My Gym Membership?! Outfit Details: Top & Jewelry: Francesca's Sunglasses: Jewel's (local boutique) Purse (not fully showing but if you wondering what the chain around me is, it's my purse lol): Victoria's Secret Hey guys! HAPPY MONDAY!! Today's post is all about me being the most productive I've been probably all summer. As seen above, I woke up & had the motivation to dress cute & get some coffee out for a change. Most of the time, I just make my coffee at home but today I thought I'd switch things up for a change! As shown above (yes, I did drink quite a bit before I took this photo), I got a Iced Vanilla Latte from Coffee Waves (support your local coffee shops!) & then I drove near the Cole Park area & enjoyed my coffee! I've been taking drives up & down Ocean Drive (in Corpus Christi, TX if you are new here that's where I'm from) to calm ...

Stats for Spotify Results (July/August 2020)

Stats for Spotify Results (July/August 2020) Hey guys! It's that time of the month (not in that way but for my Stats for Spotify Results, yes it is HAHA)! I would like to personally thank the Harry Styles stan account who inspired me to get the Strawberry Acai refresher from Starbucks & the complete stan that I am, I showed up to Starbucks in my Harry Styles tour t-shirt!  ANYWAYS! These Stats results are interesting this month & overall, these get more & more diverse music genre wise because I have been discovering so much cool music! Down below, I'll show y'all my Top 10 results for the past 4 weeks & it will kind of tell y'all other music I've been listening to. If you got music recommendations from this post or me in general, ALWAYS LET ME KNOW! I've been doing these kind of posts every month since I discovered the website back in March so I will link down below the other Stats results!

My VMAs 2020 Nomination Predictions

My VMAs 2020 Nomination Predictions Outfit Details: Top: Target Bike Shorts: PINK Hey guys! Today's post is going to be a really fun one! If you know me well or have been following me on social media for years, you probably already know that I LOVE AWARD SHOWS! I've blogged my predictions & nomination thoughts about the Grammys but I've realized I've never done one about the VMAs on here which is weird to me because in high school, I LIVED & BREATHED THE VMAs!!  The VMAs was a real popular & active time on my older Twitter account with over 4,000 followers especially when I was in high school. Now, I don't overly do live tweets about the VMAs or even the Grammys. I pretty much moved all of my real intense award show posting to this blog which has been a lot more fun to be honest!  Today, I'll be doing my nomination predictions before the full list of nominations comes out on Thursday which I'll do a whole nomination thoughts post & even compa...

A Week in the Summer 2020 Life of Jess - Spontaneous Port A Trips & A HURRICANE?! Hey guys! Who would have thought the week I'd do a "Week in the Life" post that it would be the CRAZIEST week of my whole summer so far??? Anyways! I wanted to do a "Week in the Life" post because I hadn't truly done one for this summer! I updated it every single day with what I did & everything. This summer is definitely different from others I've had in the past! I hope y'all enjoyed today's post & let me know if y'all want to see more posts like these! I had a lot of fun doing this post! Sunday, July 19, 2020 Hey guys! So today is my OFFICIAL first day of this "Week in my Summer 2020" life! Today is pretty much a lazy day for me as I get some blogging done (I actually typed up my previous post right now), catch up on some school work, & simply just take it easy & relax!  My mom is off for the whole week starting on Tuesday & ...

My 23rd Birthday Celebration

My 23rd Birthday Celebration Outfit Details: Swim Coverup: Target Sunglasses: Jewel's Hey guys! I AM OFFICIALLY 23 (it sounds scary, I know)! I had the most fun weekend celebrating with my very close family & friends (we were super cautious due to these uncertain times)! We rented a condo in my same residing county (had to clarify that) overlooking the beautiful beach. If you know me well, I LOVE THE BEACH & I wanted more than anything in this world to spend some time at the beach! We truly made the most of our circumstances & we had an AMAZING TIME! I already miss the beach to be honest! Down below I'll be sharing a series of pics of different outfits I wore & just fun pics overall from this weekend. I would personally like to thank everyone who made this fun weekend possible. I truly needed it!!! This was me RIGHT AT MIDNIGHT taking a selfie on snapchat with the birthday filter (my first selfie as a 23 year old)! I was drinking White Claw out of my fancy birth...
