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!

Skincare has always been important to me even though sometimes I forget it even exists. I know like most of you, I have gone through way too many skincare regimens and products before I found products that consistently work. Thank god for the trend of the skincare regime and experts on social media outlets. If it weren't for some of them I would still be using products that ultimately hurt my skin and not help. My skin shifts from season to season but if I had to choose a category, I would fall under combination to oily. Now I know everyone is different. What works for me product-wise could potentially not for another and vice versa. But here are the products that I have found in the last year or so that work excellent for me.  Dove Beauty Bar = Daily Cleanser  Vitamin C Face Scrub by Elizabeth Mott = Exfoliant (used every other day) Clean and Clear Persa-gel 10 = Spot Treatment  Balance Me Pre and Probiotic Radiance Cream = (AM only) First Aid Beauty Hydrating Eye Cream ...

A new month means new goals and habits. For the month of April, I mapped out my goals and habits, with the method I learned through James Clear’s 30 Days to Better Habits Email Course. This month I have taken the templates from the course to map out my own habits which intend to make my goals for the month achievable.  James Clear gives you many different sentences to think about when making goals, which then are used to create atomic habits. These include the formation of a habit, priming your environment, keys to making it a routine, and many more. I took each of my goals for this month and wrote out how the atomic habits will help me reach each one this month.  This is what I will be working for this month.  The goal is to read three books. This goal turns into the goal of becoming a better reader. The habit turns into reading one chapter a day. I will achieve this habit by priming my environment by placing the currently reading book on the gray reading chair in my ro...

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...
