Hiiii! So I think I've decided I'm going to try and update every other day, instead of everyday like I used to. Because school has to be above everything. Not that I always think school should be the only thing you do, because if school was the only thing I did, I think I would go crazy. I need a balance between school and my other activities such as working out or socializing. I love working out it just clears my mind and distresses me so I can focus on other things. For those of you wondering, I am a pre-med/microbiology major in my freshman year of college. And well, I'm loving it. I'm not saying it isn't hard because it's super hard. But here I can make my own balance between school and whatever else I want to do. And so far I think it's working out pretty well. And everyone is really nice (Except some of the food service people. Like I'll be nice to them and they're so crabby back. Although I honestly can't blame them, I would hate having their job.).

So here is an accessory from today. I got this necklace over winter break because I needed a short necklace with just something simple on it. I fell in love with this one the moment I saw it. I really like the way gold matches my skin tone and I rarely wear jewelry and when I do it's really simple. So basically, it's a WIN!!!



What do you think about school? Let me know! Have a great day! <3

First Day of Actual School

Heyyy! Today I actually woke up way earlier than expected so I just laid in bed scrolling through Instagram and the like. Then I decided to do some yoga because my legs are so sore from leg day. And then I got into the workout mood and decided to do some abs. Then it was time for class. This semester is going to be hard so I'm gearing up for a lot of work. But my schedule isn't too bad, so that should be good.

Here is an outfit from a few weeks ago. I haven't been able to take any pictures the past few days because I'v been busy, and I need to get a tripod. But hopefully that'll be coming in soon so I can take some pictures for you. How are all your classes this semester?

Happy


-There is no unhappy way to say bubbles.


Helooo! So I'm finally back at school and I will be able to do things with my brain. And I'll get to see all my friends again :). The sad part is most of them come back tomorrow so I have to wait a few more hours to see them :(. But it is nice to be back. Since I'm back I probably won't be able to post as much as I usually do, but I'll try to keep up. Hugs <3

Snow!

Good morning! I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday, but I was visited by my friend Julia! It was such a great surprise. I haven't seen her since New Years, and she just happened to be free and in the area so she came over! We caught up on all the things that have been going on the past few months and had a bunch of laughs about nothing in particular. Those are the best conversations in my opinion. The ones where you just laugh so much about nothing important. And of course we discussed deep thoughts like in the movie The Matrix haha. If you haven't seen it, I completely suggest it! It will not only have you on the edge of your seat, but you will begin questioning your version of reality. I love those kind of movies. They just make you think a little :).

This morning I woke up after almost 12 hours of sleep (can you believe it?!) super refreshed and ready to take on the day. But I was also delighted to find my world covered in the prettiest blanket of snow! The kind where it just sits on top of the tree branches making them look straight out of a movie. It was beautiful :). And here are some lovely scenic pictures from my windows so I could stay in the comfort of my warm house haha.


Here is my back yard.


Here is my front yard.


And here's some plants by the entrance to my house. Have a lovely day!
P. S. Let me know if you want to see a video haul of what I got shopping instead of pictures because I think that'd be something cool.

Last Night's Dinner

Heeyyy!!! Oh my gosh today has been super busy! I'm so happy my weekend has been full of fun things to do. Especially after this week which was pretty boring, I'm not going to lie. Here is my outfit from last night. My friend and I passed this awesome doorway with graffiti and old posters plastered to it. So I took a picture of just the plain doorway so you could all see it's coolness haha. And then I had to have a picture in from tot it so there ya go! I unfortunately had to cut off my eyes because well, flash doesn't always make them look great. They were all creepy and green and glowy, and I just could not fix them :(. But nonetheless you get a little look of me out and about :)



Today I had a photoshoot with my mom's friend, who is a very talented photographer. I cannot wait to show you the final shots! Ahhh!!! It's just so exciting!! But if you want to check out some of his other work you can find him by googling his name, Michael Wypasek. Oh and tonight I'm going to see American Sniper with a friend! I heard good reviews about this movie so I'm super excited to see it.

Have a lovely day readers!

Turtle Neck Sweater

Good evening readers! Sorry for the late update, but today was super busy! This morning was filled with cleaning and working out. And then I went shopping, again haha. And now I'm getting ready for a nice dinner with a friend! We are trying out a new restaurant which should be super fun! And hopefully I'll have room for dessert at my favorite cupcake shop. Oh my gosh their cupcakes are to die for! The shop is called A Cookie and A Cupcake. And I'll let you know how the evening went and hopefully get some mobile pics with my phone to show you. And now I'm about to run out the door! Hugs <3

Here's my outfit from my friends birthday party last night. This is actually one of the new things I got! So I hope you enjoy. Because I love it, even though I normally hate turtle necks. But this one's a bit looser around the neck.





P. S. I hate my hair in a pont tail haha

Busy Day

Hello and good morning!! Today I have so much planned. I can't decide if I'm going to work out this morning or not. But I probably should since I won't really have time later today. This afternoon I am going to this place called Crocker Park with Alyssa and my grandma. It's like one of those malls where you walk around outside because all the store entrances are outside. We are going to lunch at a restaurant there and hopefully will do some shopping! I also went shopping yesterday with my mom and Alyssa. I'll show you al what I got in a few days because I'll be doing more shopping this weekend. And then I can just show you all in one post. Tonight I am going out for a friend's birthday party! Oh I'm so excited! I love birthdays!

Anyway, here is an outfit from Sunday. Hope you enjoy!





Hugs! <3

These Boots Though!!

Good morning lovelies! Today I woke up and the sun was shining. And I could just tell it was going to be a great day :). Do you ever get that feeling? There is nothing in particular on the agenda today. Except for the food I plan to make myself haha. I'm making eggs sunny-side up with toast, and then my mom is planning salmon with cooked spinach and mushrooms for dinner. Yummy yummy yummy :). But I put together this outfit yesterday after these boots came in and I must say, these boots are awesome! They are the L. L. Bean Boots lined with fur. They are super comfortable and rubber on the bottom which is totally amazing for all this snow we have now (I love snow because it's so pretty and I hate because it means cold weather). And the white color just makes them so fresh! So in short...I'm obsessed with them haha.






Oh my gosh the sun was so bright it was sooo hard not to squint!



Have a wonderful day readers! <3

Flowery Shirt

Hello readers!! Today I have gotten so many pretty pictures done for some posts later this month! The lighting is beautiful, the snow is beautiful, and I'm beautiful (haha totally kidding on that guys I'm no narcissist). And the weather is just around 32 degrees F making it warmer than it has been so I don't freeze my buns (or fingers) off while I'm photographing. Basically, it's been awesome. I'm taking a little break to edit some photos and warm up. Then I'll see if I can pull out another outfit and take some more photos. And the neighbors probably think I'm totally crazy for standing in my front yard taking pictures all day. I know my dog thinks I'm crazy, and he's supposed to love me no matter what haha. Last night I visited a friend and had some of the best ice-cream ever! Oh my gosh guys it was so creamy and yummy. I can't wait to go back! If any of you have ever heard of Sweet Moses in Lakewood, let me know what you think of it. If you haven't and you live near Cleveland or are visiting Cleveland, I totally recommend you try it! After we watched the first Captain America movie because, well, I'm a nerd and love that stuff haha. And I enjoyed the movie very much, but everyone says the second one is better so I cannot wait to see that one!


Here is the new shirt I got! I think it's so lovely! It's different but not too different ya know? And the pants are my favorite high waisted black denim.




Goofy Jess having a fun time with the camera haha. Have a lovely day! P. S. Check out my Instagram for a sneak peak of tomorrow's post ;) jessica_simon10

Books, Dancing, and Outfit

Good morning readers! Yesterday was a pretty lazy sunday although I did go to the gym and work out. But I started a new book. And when I start a book, I read all day long. I'm such  a total bookworm haha. It also snowed some more last night so it looks beautiful out! Maybe I'll just take some scenic picture for you. Would you like that? But in order to take outfit pictures in the pretty snow I'd definitely have to make snow boots a fashion statement haha. Because snow ruins shoes like you wouldn't believe :'(. Today I'm stuck at home because my sister is back to school and my mom is back to work. And I don't have my own car. So the entertainment for myself could get a little interesting haha. What do you do when you're bored and home alone? I usually end up throwing a dance party with myself, music blasted, and break out my most stunning moves haha (more like my worst moves haha). And maybe I'll cook something... Hmm time to get creative.



Here's an outfit from the other day when I felt the need to be warm haha. I love this jacket by the way. It goes with everything and it's just so cute! And these jeans are definitely my favorite pair. I just love rips!


Hope you have a lovely day! Don't forget to leave a comment :)

I felt like adding something a little sassier to my blog haha. Hope you like it!

Good Morning

Good morning readers! Here are some pictures I decided to take this morning because the sun was shining just perfectly in my room today. That being done, I cannot decide if I want to work out this morning... I know I should because it's good for me, but I'm just not in the mood. Give me some motivation to get my butt moving guys haha. But I woke up to find that it looks like a perfect winter wonderland outside my window. It snowed even more last night, and it looks just gorgeous! I'm hoping it's not too cold to take some pictures because it is just too pretty to pass up :).






 Have a great day dear readers <3

Cozy Night

I thought to share with you some pictures from the cozy night I'm having. It was freezing out today so that means it's doubly freezing out tonight. So I'm snuggled in bed with an electric blanket (I honestly don't even know how I survived without one because I just got it for Christmas and I use it every night), a nice cup of tea, and my iPhone. So cozy :).



Tonight my family and I had sushi for dinner. Mmmm. It is definitely one of my favorites. Then I sat and relaxed with a magazine. Oh! I also got some new boots today I cannot wait to show you! I have been dying for a pair of these boots for a long time. Then I spent the rest of the night just chatting with my mom. She is definitely one of my best friends, but she's also still the boss, ya know? Haha, anyway have a good night my lovely readers :)

Pretty Crepes

Hello readers! Today it is so cold outside that most schools around me have been closed due to the weather. I stepped outside to bring a friend lunch today, and I almost froze! It makes me want to stay inside and snuggle with a cozy blanket and a warm cup of tea :). There is no better fix for a cold day than that in my opinion. Today I woke up a bit earlier and decided to surprise Alyssa with some crepes for breakfast. I have never made them before and only tasted them once, but I found a recipe online and I think they turned out wonderful! Just check out how gorgeous they are (and super yummy too)! I never understood the crepe obsession until today haha. They were just sooo good!



The crepes themselves were really easy to make and only took a few ingredients. Flour, milk, vanilla, salt, sugar, melted butter, and a little water. The filling was also super easy. I melted some butter and brown sugar in a pan and then cut up two bananas and let it sit, shaking the pan occasionally to make sure nothing burned. And the cream filling was made with sour cream and powdered sugar. Which was a really weird combination but I promise you it tasted amazing with the banana filling! Then just top with some more powdered sugar and voila! Crepes!


Do any of you have other filling ideas for crepes? Let me know because these will become a breakfast love I'm sure. Have a lovely day!

Oversized Shirt

Good morning readers! Last night's dinner turned out to be soo good! I was so happy I didn't mess anything up haha. I made chicken tacos with a corn salsa, and then we added some lettuce and sour cream to them as well. The chicken was super easy. I cut three boneless skinless chicken breasts into little bite-size cubes. I browned some onions in a little olive oil and then threw the chicken in with the taco mix and a little more than 1/4 cup of water. The salsa was easy in terms of not cooking anything, but cutting up everything did take some time. I threw in a can of corn (drained), 1/2 a chopped red pepper, most of a chopped Serrano pepper, one chopped slice of onion, chopped cilantro to taste, 1 tbsp of lime juice, 1 tsp honey, and a splash of salt and pepper. I would definitely recommend this salsa it's delicious! I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures last night, but everyone was so hungry I couldn't make them wait haha.

Here is an outfit from a few days ago. This is actually my pajama shirt and I was too lazy to take it off haha. But I thought it turned out pretty cute so I decided to snap some pictures in it :). I hope you have a great hump day! Haha

New Bathing Suit!

Good morning readers! So today I wanted to take some pictures outside because I saw it had snowed last night! I love how pretty the snow makes winter look. But when I looked at the weather it was a balmy 13 degrees F. And then the sun went behind the clouds which only means it was going to get colder :(. So I decided I'd stay nice and warm inside. Maybe tomorrow will be a little warmer, and I'll be able to get some pictures taken. So today I'm just going to clean some and I'm in charge of making dinner tonight haha. I think I'm going to make chicken tacos with a corn salsa. It sounds yummy in my head. We'll see how it turns out haha.


So I didn't ask for much for Christmas this year, and I got money instead. So I decided to splurge and spend some of that money on a Triangl baying suit. I have been drooling over these suits for about a year now. And I must say they did not disappoint! I originally wanted the Chloe suit in Arizona Sunset, but once the new ones came out I fell in love with the Bambi suit in Candy Sunset. And it is sooo fiiiinnneee!! I got an extra small in both the top and the bottom, and it fits perfectly! I was a little worried about the fit because neoprene doesn't stretch, but no need to worry. For those of you considering buying one of these super fine suits, just be honest with yourself about what size you are and you should have no problem. I cannot wait to wear this suit! Hopefully on a spring break trip ;).

Her eyes have their own vocabulary; and what a beautiful language it is to learn...


Hey there! Today I took some great pictures that will be coming out on the blog and my Instagram within the next few days. It feels so good to finally take pictures again! I'll probably take even more later but here is one of my favorites. Have a lovely day all!
