Life with Jessi 101

Shoes. A staple for fashion. An obsession for some. One can never have too many shoes. There are certain shoes that are essential to every women’s wardrobe. Here are the shoe essentials that I think every woman should have in their closet.  White Sneakers Black Booties  Classic Mules or Flats Slip-on Sandal Knee High Boots Neutral Heels  Statement Booties  Statement Heels  Athletic Sneakers  These made the shoe capsule list. Shoes are the cherry topper of an outfit, they can make it or break it. No need to get the fads and trends that don’t last more than a season, opt for these timeless options. How many do you have in your closet?

I feel like Target is one of the main retailers that keep up with trends. Let’s see how many Spring Trend items I found in Target!  Platforms  Whether they are in the form of sandals, sneakers, or boots this spring trend will set you to new heights.  White Monochromatic  Honestly loved this top. I’m really into square necklines right now. Monochromatic of any color with being seen more and more through the spring and summer.  All the Straps & Lime Green   This top was too cute! It came in all neon colors and black. It’s perfect for that spring to summer top.  Knits   I would have never gravitated to this top if I wasn’t looking for knit, but I love it. It could be used through all the seasons too!  Oversize It  This T-Shirt dress is the perfect dress to oversize. Dress it up with some heels or dress it down with a fashion sneaker.  Feminine Vibes  Bows always scream feminine to me and with the bubble sleeves all the feminin...

Today I’m answering the question what is in my gym bag? Let’s find out.  First off my bag is not your typical gym bag as you see. It’s a decorative burlap tote with my initials on the front, which I picked up from a cute boutique back home. It has so much space for all the gym essentials. I can’t go to the gym without it.  Lotus Yoga Mat Hydroflask  Favorite Athletic Sneakers  Hair Tie Bag  Air Pods  Too many resistance bands  Disc Sliders 3 Resistance Band Loops  Do you have a gym bag? Or are you one to just bring water, a phone, and headphones? What are your essentials to go to the gym with? Let me know in the comments below! Laters babes!

I have way too many leggings and sports bras, and let’s be honest half of them are from Fabletics. Whether it be dancing, hiking, hitting the gym, or just lounging around my Fabletics are keeping me looking sculpt and in style. Let’s see my top five outfits from Fabletics!  High Mesh Neck Top & Motion 365  Leggings  Seemless Leggings Light Blue Stitch Set  Off Shoulder Ribbed Top & PowerHold Legging Sculpt Knit Legging and Ribbed Set  PowerHold Legging and Top Set  Just like me, I know for a fact you're going to love Fabletics.

They also hook you up with an incredible intro offer for your first purchase that looks too good to be true (but it's not, trust me). VIP here you come!

Happy Friday Babes! Good Friday actually! Accessories can make or break a look, am I right? They are a must for each outfit. Whether it be a necklace, bracelet, scarf, rings, belts, headband, or hair clips. Ladies, we all have the go-to accessories that we put on more than all the others we have collected through the years. Maybe you even swap out accessories seasonally. Whatever way you do, these are mine that I gravitate towards every day.  Necklaces Gold J Initial & Gold Chain - I typically pair these together one as a choker and the other as a medium length. I like how simple they are but still beautiful.  Silver Star Chain - I typically wear this a lot in the summer. I got it from Pura Vida last summer.  Gold Blue Pendant - This blue stone used to be the stone in my dad’s favorite ring. He would wear it all the time. Once he passed my mom gave it to me as a necklace on my first birthday without him. I wear it more than anything in my jewelry collection.  ...

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.
