about me
Hi Y’all, I’m Jessica, most people call me Jess!
I’m so happy you stumbled on my page. Welcome! I currently live in Seattle, born and raised in Houston, Texas. I moved to Seattle 10 years ago, I found myself in this beautiful city. I learned what I truly stood for, and how growing up in Texas would always stick with me. I can’t express how grateful I am for that, I have two homes that I love dearly. It never fails, every time I go home (Texas will always be home) and leave I leave with a little tear because I miss it so much but then give me about 2 hours back in Seattle and I’m fine because I feel at home here too. How many people can say that home really feels like home in two locations across the country from each other? As cheesy as it may sound, I feel blessed.
I’ve always had a love for the pretty things and when I say pretty things, I mean just things that stick out to me, regardless of what the price tag is. When I was younger clothes weren’t in our budget. For a while my options were thrift stores and hand me downs, we hardly shopped. I’m thankful for those days, even though means were limited it taught me to be savvy and creative with my style. Unfortunately/Fortunately things changed and I found myself gravitating to higher priced items. I love finding a good deals and always shop sales but you will defiantly see me splurging, I’m a true believer in the phrase “treat yourself”.
My style is simple and classic, if I had to pick a favorite color I would say black or nude. The other day I found myself describing another girl as “basic” but saying it in a negative way then had to put myself in check. I’m basic! Majority of us are basic! Stop talking shit! There’s nothing wrong that, it was a moment of being catty (not proud) but I’m human.
I’m a firm believer in buying your favorite item in multiple colors, it’s rare that I don’t have the same shoe in Nude and black, or a top in white and black. They go with everything! I’m obsessed with bodysuits, in particular low-cut bodysuits, they make me feel sassy. If my mom is reading this she’s probably cringing because she hates any type of cleavage, sorry momma! I will use petals whenever I can! I hate, hate wearing bra’s so be prepared to see tops that you can be free in.
Fashion has always been something I’m comfortable with, when I can’t find what I’m looking for I find something similar and take it to a tailor and present my ideas and see if they can do it. My motto for life is “where there’s a will, there’s a way” you will hear me say that often, momma instilled that in me.
What you won’t see on my page (at least for now) are makeup tips, I’m a lost puppy. I have my favorite basics but could never show you how to highlight your face or do a “wink” liner and all that jazz. I can show you how to dip your brush in the bronzer and put it all over your face and continue until it looks even, ha-ha, oops! I am obsessed with concealer and my lash curler,those are my items I can’t live without, you know how you have those certain things that make you feel put together? Or a prettier version of yourself? Those are mine!
One big thing you should know about me is I’m a firm believer in God. I’m not that person that is going to throw a bible at you or tell you to go to church. I don’t think to be a good person you have to believe in God or go to church. Let’s be real, we all know those people that talk about how “Christian” they are, we see them at church and they actually suck, REAL TALK. I 100% understand if you don’t believe or are confused, there’s a lot of bad shit in this world, it’s tough. My friends are mixed with both believers and non-believers. I love them both equally. I just know to my core it’s who I am. In my 31 years I have seen too much beauty even with all the hurt and hate out there to not believe.
If you’ve gotten to the end of this thank you for taking the time to read, I hope you continue to follow along on this journey. I have felt insecure, scared and every feeling in between about putting myself out there but I promised this year would be different. F it, this girl is going for it! And if you have something itching inside of you, I hope you do too! If you need a push, read Rachel Hollis, you will feel brand new! I hope you will follow along where you will see everything from, food, fitness, fashion, LOVE, alllll the things.
