I'm always finding new shops and trends to obsess over. Here are some of my current favorites: 1. Mugs by  Ashley Brooke Designs - Ashlyn introduced me to this designer and I'm so glad! How fabulous are these mugs?! I'll take one of each, please. And while we're at it.. I'll take one of everything in her adorable shop! 2. Greeting Cards by Julie Ann Art - I already told you how in love I am with Julie Ann Art but now I'm telling you again.. because really.. can it get any better? You still have time to order your cards before V-day (or any other occasion) with a discount! Use code JESSICAWHO for 10% off at her shop! 3. Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift - It seems like perfume and cologne are often default gifts when we can't think of anything else to give on Valentine's Day. I don't mind though because I can never have enough yummy smells in my possession. I'm not sure if it's the teenager in me, but I am in love wi...

Have I ever told you guys about my first Valentine's Day as a married woman? You're going to be so jealous. I told Jared that Valentine's Day wasn't super important to me so I didn't want him to make a big deal about it. So you know what he did? He took me grocery shopping. GROCERY SHOPPING. On VALENTINE'S DAY. I was so sure that he was joking.. surely he had some kind of surprise waiting at the end by the checkout counter, right??? Nope. So after our little shopping trip I politely (ok, it wasn't very polite) explained to him that when a girl says something is not a big deal, that means it IS, in fact, a big deal. And that even though a girl says "you don't have to get me anything", she really means "you don't have to spend a ton of money but a small surprise would totally make my day". I'm pretty sure he learned his lesson and we laugh about it all the time now. What's really funny is that I can't even remember ...

Today has been dubbed Galentine's Day. So, rightfully, this post is about my gals. For those of you who don't know what Galentine's Day is, it's a day that you celebrate your "gals". It was originally created by Amy Poheller's character, Leslie Knope, in an  episode  of  Parks and Recreation . Of course, this makes me miss my girlfriends more than I already do. Don't get me wrong, I love the friends that I've made here (making friends here is incredibly difficult btw) but nothing can replace my girls from back home. I love how I have such a diverse group of friends. Want someone to talk some sense into me? Call Suzanna. Want someone to listen to me cry and support me even if I'm being dumb? Call Stell. Want anything relating to style or my career? Call Em. Wanna talk about married life or puppy problems? Call Char. And who do I call if I get (or want to) into trouble? Well, Steph, of course. Have an embarrassing story to tell? Call al...
