Moments In Time

This week has been rough for me and I realize that I haven’t taken one picture of myself cause I haven’t well felt very pretty in a couple of weeks. But it’s okay, we all of have days or our periods of discomfort. I will not make this a pity party. I am often inspired by Amelia Pontes and her blog Soundbites (http://ameliapontes.blogspot.com/) and yesterday she published a post about 50 moments when she feels pretty! I was very inspired, number one because at that point in my life I needed to read about feeling pretty. I tweeted her and said her post was inspiring and that I was going to create one. She tweeted me back and told me to post it! Scary stuff, but I am now feeling up for the challenge. Here we go here is my list of 50 Moments when I feel pretty! To everyone reading, try this for yoruself. I bet it will put you in a good mood!

Love,

Jeniese

I'm Alive and Well!!!! And I went to FFF Week!!!




Hey guys, sorry that I have been gone for a few weeks. Life became so overwhelming and I had to learn how to deal! I had to catch up on homework, I got sick and I had minor surgery, so to say the least I am so far behind on blogging! But I’m back and ready to share my adventures, my favorite things and my outfits!


A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending FFF Week and everything about it was fabulous!!! I met some wonderful people and some of my favorite bloggers who I already felt like were my family thanks to Twitter! The events were filled with Full Figure industry insiders, Models, Bloggers, Boutique Owners, Celebrities, and so many more.

At first I was extremely nervous about going but in the end I am so proud of myself for taking the huge leap to go to California by myself. I made friends for life, I learned so much and realized how much I could grow as a stylist and as a blogger. I had so much fun at FFF Week and I will definitely be going again!!!

Love you guys!!!
