shopping!

22:37

So I'm so excited for this coming weekend because I'm going to Vancouver for my H&M training and I'm meeting up with my good friend for shopping during Friday afternoon and we're going to Topshop and I've been wanting to go there so badly after looking online for so, so long! I don't know what I'm looking for or if I'll get anything but I'm still super excited because it should be such fun! I will probably make a haul video once I'm back that weekend and show you all the things I've bought and probably some other things I've bought but already worn!
I've been dying to make a video for you guys, even though I don't have many or any readers, I still want to, but my camera sucks and I don't have a tripod so I'll have to see what I can do for the time being!
Anyways, if you guys (if there are any readers) have any ideas for me for things to get while in Vancouver or even tips on how to use cameras without a tripod, that would be lovely!
I hope you have a great weekend :)

This post is more so of a 'rant' than anything. It's just something I need to get off my chest or just talk about in general because I feel like I see way too much of "I'm too fat" when the person saying that is a size 4.
I'm not going to bash anyone's body type because honestly that's just plain rude but I just feel like we should all love ourselves! I was watching Louise's (sprinkleofglitter she's amazing) body confidence video the other night and I 100% agree with her. We only get this one body and yet even though we're told to love our bodies, magazines and the rest of media just don't help any of us really.
I found myself wearing hoodies and jeans instead of the cute shirts I really liked and cute jeans or leggings or tights and a dress because people would say I'm too fat or I have too big of hips for those types of clothing. I pretty much said 'screw you' at the beginning of this tear and thought to myself that I really should love myself and wear what I want to wear instead of what other people say I should wear.
Yeah I have big hips and big bones but I've worked out and it all turns to muscle on me. I'll never get rid of my hips no matter how much I work out, so I realized I should accept me for me and love my body no matter what because it's not going to get replaced! I just wanted to make this because I know so many of you out there think the same thing about your body, but we should really tell the media to go away and let ourselves shine through. I have a 15 year old cousin and she told herself to stop reading those magazines because they made her feel like rubbish every time she read them and so she made herself her own book basically making her feel good about herself everyday. I think we should all make something like that. Something as a reminder that we are pretty, no matter what shape or size or color or anything!
The point of this post is to remind yourself it's okay to feel good and pretty! Don't think you're being too self absorbed when you think you look pretty in an outfit because you probably do. I started to be hard on myself when I would look at celebrities or anyone and I would pick out the things on them that I didn't have but they're probably wishing they had something that I do have. We all want what we don't have but for once I'm actually happy with what I have. I like my body, or at least I'm slowly starting to like it more. This is a huge step for me since I wasn't anywhere near thinking that in high school. I found clothes that I love and that I can wear and feel good.
I hope you all think about what good features you have about your body or anything else and maybe take it in to consideration that what you have is perfect.
If any of you want to talk about this or anything else you can always email me at jena.richelle@gmail.com :)

I hope this helps you somehow and I hope you smile at least once today!

new year

Hi there, this is going to be a bit strange writing out a blog post but honestly I think it's what I need right now. I won't bore you with too much because that's not really that fun, now is it? Basically while I have time off I'm going to be posting whenever I can on things I've bought, things I want to wear or am wearing to work and what not.

So basically I made myself a promise that I would dress in the clothes I like to wear and instead of the clothes people tell me to wear. I have larger hips so I get heck a lot for wearing skinny jeans and what not but I used to care but this year I want to be myself. I think it's stupid that I felt like that so hence this promise to myself. I recently got hired at H&M since they're finally adding one to Vancouver Island and I figured I should step up my game on clothes and makeup even if I'm basically broke!

I bought this dress from Forever 21 and I apologize how I have the dress I'm just having a bit of a dilemma right now where I can't find my batteries for my camera so this one I had taken to send to my friend.



It had little studs which you might not be able to see but it's a light cotton and so comfortable! I was thinking on wearing it with tights and a scarf because it's a little chilly here on the island. But I do need your opinion on what type of shoes I should wear with it? I don't have toms yet but I plan on getting some as I got gift cards for Christmas but just hadn't gotten around to it yet. So if you guys would help me out I would love that ever so much! Thank you!
