Oh my God. All my classes have been conspiring against me for the past two weeks. Insanity! I can't tell you how happy I am that everything is done! I've really missed blogging and I'm so glad to be back. Since I haven't gone by my daily blogging formula for a while, this is mostly going to be an update/random post. So what's been going on while I've been going? First of all, my dad's birthday was awesome! We had a ridiculously unhealthy weekend- we ordered from On the Border and had sooo much Mexican...

Just checking in to let you know I haven't forgotten about this place! Today is the last day of crazy stressedoutness (yes I just made up a word), so I will be back at it tomorrow. :) Later, lovelies. Jessica EDIT: Er, did I say I would be back today? Let's make that Thursday. Just when I thought I had a little break from school work, more was added! :( I miss blogging! Here's hoping I'll be able to again so...

Sorry blog world, School is getting to the point where it's becoming frantic! I have a test to study for, a 2 1/2 hour lab to finish online, and some design tutorials to finish all before Wednesday. I need to take a small break from blogging, at least for today. Don't worry, I'll be back soon enough. Don't have too much fun while I'm gone. :) Later lovelies, Jess...

Is it just me, or has this week gone by really slowly? I've been wishing it was Friday since Monday. I feel like Garfield! haha. So what's on the menu for this week's Thumbs Up Thursday? The Lion King in 3D! Since I saw the preview while seeing Glee 3D with Frances (here), I've been so excited! The Lion King is really special to me. It's the first movie I saw in theaters. My dad took me and we almost left early because I was scared of how loud the sound was, but he talked me into staying....

Happy Hump Day! It's time for today's weight loss tip, and it's one I participate in regularly! What about you? Have you been drinking enough water? If you haven't, start increasing the amount you drink every day. Something as simple as drinking two glasses (16 oz) before every meal could really benefit you. How? It's described as "preloading".  You're filling your stomach before you even start to eat, which makes you fuller faster and will help you not to overeat. Still not convinced? A 3 month study backs this...

I got a new trance CD about two weeks ago, and it's become a problem because of how much I love it! It's called Digitally Enhanced Volume 4 by Will Holland and is kind of a mash up of a bunch of songs from different artists. I am not lying when I say that every song is AMAZING! It's definitely a struggle to pick a favorite today since it changes all the time. But I think the standout today is Flashback. I hope you like it! :) Also, I'm really glad all my favorite TV shows are coming back this...

So it's a little later than I usually post, but no worries, I'm here! Today's theme is Motivation Monday! There's only about a billion reasons I want to lose weight and be healthy, so this is a good place to list them all. A huge reason is to look amazing in better clothing! It's kind of a shallow reason, I know. But my standard daily attire has been jeans + tshirt since forever. I love the combo and I'm comfortable in it, but sometimes I feel like wearing a tank top, skirt, shorts, or dress once...

Today's theme has to do with my favorite things! I can tell I'm gonna have the most fun with this topic. :) This particular thing has been my favorite since the beginning of the summer. What is it, you ask? Only the best fantasy television series this year- Game of Thrones! Around May when the TV show ended its first series, it was inescapable. I saw coverage of it everywhere, raving about how amazing it was. ONTD, the gossip blog that I frequent 24/7, posted about it constantly, and each post about...

I've decided that I'm gonna blog every M-Th (and maybe Fridays if the mood strikes me) and have theme posts for every day. I think it'll help me post more regularly and have fun while doing it. :) So yesterday was Trance Track Tuesday, and today is Weight Loss Tip Wednesday. Every Wednesday I'll post a weight loss tip to help myself and others out there. My topic for today is one that I just cannot seem to get right: getting more sleep at night! Right after I graduated high school, I got a...

So about 3 years ago, my family got Dish Network. The thing I love most about it is the hundreds of music channels that come with the package. I got into a lot of different genres that I'd never been interested in before just by changing channels on my remote. But the genre that became my favorite above all others is trance. I still love pop music, and rap and r&b, etc. But trance has definitely gone to the top of my list! I can't see it moving any time soon, either. So what is trance? It's...

It is a known fact that I am horrible at continuing anything. I have another blog that I've all but abandoned. Twitters that have been left in the dust. I barely update my Facebook! But I knew that starting and keeping up with this blog was going to be very important. You can see why in my profile information to the right. On August 18th of this year, my mom had a stroke. It was caused by a number of things: high blood pressure, stress, not eating right, not exercising. Before her stroke, my parents...
