2018

It's 2018!

14:34

It's 2018! Aaaaand I've decided to put my laptop on my lap to type away on here for the first time in a while. I didn't post anything for the last while because I was working 15 hour days, coming home to find zero motivation to kick my ass at a workout, or even to clean my apartment.

I am going to give the blogging another shot, but I think I need to find MY kind of thing. I know I want to work hard at my instagram, so I think the two will eventually go hand in hand.

2017 was a hard year for me. I went through a lot with my anxiety, friendships and finding confidence in myself. I'm still growing, still forever working at anxiety, finding the work/life balance, and also finding time to do something for myself aside from binge watching the latest Netflix series, ha!

2018 will be good to me, I can feel it. End of 2017 was good to me too, so I've got a very positive outlook right now.

I spoke to one of my closest friends about this a month ago, saying how my mental health is crazy good when I am working out 4 days a week and focusing on ME, so I'm going to do that again. I started back at it in December, and going back into it full force once again. I fell off the band wagon back in September when I started a different position, but I am good to go for this year.

2018 = SELF LOVE

thanks pintrest for this very inspiring quote

Oh hello there, 25. Nice to meet you, I'm Jena, a coffee addict who is trying to sort out her life right now.

My birthday was Saturday, and I had a moment where I thought "what are you doinnn girl!" Not in a bad way, really. More so just had things hit me that I wanted to change! I suddenly was hit with the fact I truly wanted to change my living room decor, I wanted to get all new furniture, aside from my wonderful couch that I'm sitting on while I type this. (the couch is named Kelsey for those wondering) I also had a moment where I wanted to change my style, fairly quickly too.

I have to thank Poppy Deyes for that, as she recently made a blog post herself about some Gap denim that she loved, so naturally, I went to get them. You can find her post about them here. She has some wonderful posts.  I also had a moment where I just felt so comfortable in the body I have, and I didn't care so much about trying to not wear a baggy sweater because it "looked too frumpy", I am comfortable, I feel cute, and that's what matters.

Basically, what I'm getting at here is that I'd like to welcome you here to my blog. You can expect things such as some fashion (if you could call me fashionable), decor, organizational tips, etc. I already have one post planned for later this week about what sparked my want to change my living room, and some decor ideas I have and what I want to purchase. I'm just your average coffee drinker, 25 year old who has a lot to say but doesn't want to bore her friends, so she types away.

I hope that this blog will become something of enjoyment to some, and I also hope to be able to share a lot with you in the upcoming months.

I'll end this post here, with a picture of these beautiful flowers my mom got me on my birthday.


Have a wonderful rest of your week everyone!

anxiety

job hunting & stressed out!

I've decided to daily blog now. About my life. About everything! Reviews, my life, stress, anxiety, hair related things, anything.

I'm going to start off with the basics.

So right now, as some of you may know, I have moved and I am looking for a job! I am having the worst time getting a daycare job (as it's my profession), and I have had five interviews, and none have gotten back to me. So there walks in the stress and anxiety. My boyfriend has been paying for my rent and things for me for the last two months, which I hate having him do but I wouldn't be able to do it without him.

So I'm starting to panic. I need money and I've been looking up everything. I applied to quite a few retail like jobs, babysitting ads, the works. I've even sorted through my closet and decided to sell clothes I don't wear!

I may post some on here, so if anyone is interested, let me know and I'll do a blog post about them.

I also got the MAC pro long wear concealer the other day (my boyfriend, what a babe), and I want to do a review on it, so I think I will post on it tomorrow!

Please let me know what you would like to see me blog about because I would love some ideas!!


Have a lovely week!

Year in review: 2013

20:41

I only started this blog this year, and I wish I had  blogged more to be quite honest, so I'm making that one of the things to work on in the new year. I thought I would write a post today about how thankful I am for everything and everyone in my life. I'm so, so lucky to have the friends that I do, and an amazing boyfriend who may tease me everyday, but he makes me day even better just by being here.

So this year I started my youtube channel, which I know isn't great yet because I don't have the best lighting (or face hehe), but that's another one of my goals is to get a light for it. I really like making videos, even though very, very few people watch it, I'm so grateful for them too.

I thought I would put in a few pictures here for fun and giggles!

This is me and my bestest chummy, Samantha 

This is Paige, she's been around since I was 12, I love her a lot


I am so grateful for my friends, and for the lovely gifts I received at Christmas and being around my family. My dad is in the navy, so it's really rare that I'll see my dad straight through a year, but I've been really lucky to see my dad lots this year and spend time with my family. 

I hope you all had a great Christmas and I hope you all have a great New Year!!
