Life with Jessi 101

Spring Trends 2022. This year is the season that Jessi did not support certain trends coming back in style aka low rise jeans, mini skirts, and all things the 2000s. Your girl is more of a 90’s baby with a touch of 21’s century and 70/80s style. Hence my bell-bottom jeans obsession. After listing out the spring trends this year I knew I wouldn't find too many in my closet currently. Let’s see which trends I found in my closet!  Flared Jeans  White Monochromatic  All the Feminine Vibes  Oversize It  As you can see I only found four out of seventeen. How many would you find in your closet? Let me know in the comments below! Laters babes!

Happy first Monday of April! This month makes it officially spring season! Are your closets ready for the new season? If not, don't worry I got all the spring essentials listed out for you! Let’s take a look and see what wardrobe items are an absolute must-have for spring.   Layering Tees Colors such as black, white, and Gray should already be in everyone's closet, but having some others with pastel or bold colors wouldn’t hurt. Tees are so easy to style all year round, not just during the spring season.  Lightweight Jacket With the mornings being cooler and the afternoons being warmer make sure to have lightweight jackets at the ready. Jean jackets, athletic jackets, cardigans, and all the lightweight jackets will be worn this spring.  White Jeans Spring reminds me of clean and bright. What is more clean looking than a pair of white jeans? Nothing is the answer. White jeans are a must for styling in the spring season.   Cotton Sweater No knit sweaters for ...

I have tried too many beauty products through the years. More than I would like to admit and the list includes some embarrassing brands. But like with everyone else there has been growth. As I have gotten older and my knowledge of skincare and makeup has grown, the products that make the cut for everyday use are slim. Let’s see what beauty products I have tried through the years and why they didn’t make the cut.  Let's start with the makeup products!  Elf Eyeshadows - pigment was nonexistent and product fallout was awful.  Elf Foundation - never lasted, left skin feeling dry, and had an oily texture/look.  Elf Eyeliner - the liquid pen would dry out after one use, going on really light gray, and was not easy to work with.  Elf Mascara - left eyes feeling heavy, and never actually came off when using makeup remover Elf Lipstick - never lasted longer than five minutes and left lips dry and cracked.  Mary Kay Eyeshadows - pigment was pretty good but the fallou...

Studying looks different for everyone, and trust me I have tried all the different ways to study throughout my school years. Here is what I have found works best for me in these last couple of years.  Before Class   If the class has a mapped-out syllabus, I read it over the first week of class. I map out when assignments are due when readings need to be done, quizzes, and tests. After I have every class mapped out I then assign different days to focus on studying, including the times. I always try to stay ahead in being prepared for class, like doing the readings and taking notes on that and developing questions that I might have during the class.  During Class I take notes on my laptop during class. I have found that I’m a faster typer than a writer. I try to take down everything the professor says. I don’t worry about the format either. I just type away during the class.  After Class  This is when I take the time and format the notes I took in class. I normall...

Power Moves was the theme this month for the regular Ipsy subscription bag. This month's mantra is you run the world, swipe on your boldest lip, and conquer every goal like a boss. Whether it’s sticking to the self-care routine or kick-starting the next big thing. Here is what was included in the bag and my thoughts on the products! The bag itself is so cute! The baby blue matched with the baby pink is a color match made in heaven. The saying on it “power moves” gives off all the girl boss vibes. It’s definitely going in my work bag, cause your girl is the girl boss and is going to make power moves!  First Aid Beauty Hydrating Eye Cream with Hyaluronic Acid This eye cream is both vegan and cruelty-free. It works 24 hours to help the skin around your eyes feel soft, plump, and hydrated. Key ingredients include a blend of hyaluronic acid for plumping, caffeine for depuffing, cucumber extract, and colloidal oatmeal for soothing.

Hey babes! It’s that hump day post coming at you live. I’m sure many of you know by now I’m an avid reader and I like to be organized along with having a routine. I’m going to let you in on a secret that changed the way I look at my routine.  I bought the book Atomic Habits after seeing millions of rave reviews. I’m telling you right now it was life-changing! I went through that book in two days, no joke. I wanted to implement all the knowledge and wisdom of James Clear into my everyday routine but I had no clue where to start. Towards the end of the book, there was an advertisement for a 30 Days to Better Habits Email Course through James Clear’s website. It was just the thing I needed to help implement all the knowledge and wisdom from the book into my own life. The course is not an email every 30 days, it’s 11 emails in total, every three days. The course goes along with the book in showing you how to take the guesswork out of habit building, getting the tools and strategies you...

Happy Monday babes! To start our week off right I’m letting you all in on the top spring trends in fashion and beauty. The main theme I’m seeing for spring is Y2K is back and in full force. Get ready to relive your 2000s fashion dream or nightmare, whichever you prefer. I have also pulled some shopping links for you to shop for each trend. Don’t worry babe I got you!  Low Rise Jeans I shudder at the sound of this trend. No, you can not wear a long top with low-rise jeans that defeats the trend, crop tops all the way to reach that Y2K style. As for me, I will be sticking to my high-waisted jeans, thank you.  Levi's Pro Low Jeans - https://amzn.to/3ifmD29 Kan Can Low Rise Ankle Skinny Jeans - https://amzn.to/3CU9FQD Pleated Skirts There are many different lengths that you could run with this spring trend. Many I’m sure will opt for the tennis skirts but the lengths that were making statements on the runway was the midi pleated skirt.  Kate Kasin Pleated A-Line Swing Skirt -...
