Great Memories in 2012

This year has been so amazing for me. I have been having great opportunities and making great memories in life. For saying goodbye & thanks to 2012, I want to look back at some of the great things that happened this year.

1. My Internship With KABC: I was so grateful for this internship because I got to learn and see how the professionals worked. Plus I got to interview some celebrities, and regular people for stories, and I got to shadow some amazing reporters. Glad I took this internship.

 

2. I Graduated College!!!!! Plus I got to meet Harvey Levin from TMZ :)


3. Went to the Extra Set: I had a chance to see Mario Lopez film a scene for Extra. I also got a chance to explore the Farmers Market at the Grove. Plus had a chance to taste my first Falafel and go inside a Zara store (can you believe I've never been inside a Zara store?)


4. Went to see a taping of Conan: and got to meet Dominic Monaghan (Lord of the Rings & Lost) and Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family).

With Dominic Monaghan
With Eric Stonestreet (Love him!)

5. Went to the Magic Castle in Hollywood

 

6. Got to do some reporting for my local cable TV: I also hosted a show for them, but I didn't take a pic.


7. I also made my own XLR & BNC cables


8. I got to meet Max Carver from Desperate Housewives: Unfortunately I don't have a picture to post (ok I do, its my wallpaper for my laptop :). But we both have flashes in our eyes so it looks weird to post).

It has been a great year, and hopefully 2013 is just as great or even better. I hope you guys have a great New Year and New Year's Eve. Have fun and stay safe! I wish you guys a great, happy, successful and prosperous New Year. May all of your wishes and resolutions come true. See you all in 2013.

<3,
Jessica

Free Your Mind & Be Happy!

 

So I have been obsessed with the website MindBodyGreen. MindBodyGreen has great articles for the mind, body, and health.

I go to the website daily to see what's new. So in order for Thanksgiving time, I gathered 5 articles that you may like to read to have a happier time this week.

I hope these articles inspire, encourage, and make you feel grateful of what you have. And help you have a clear mind this week to keep you focused on family this Thanksgiving day.
  1. 10 Life Changing Tips Inspired by Oprah Winfrey 
  2. 30 Dr. Seuss Quotes That Can Change Your Life 
  3. 6 Tips to Manage Your Wandering Mind: [I need to do 2 and 3, since I find myself so much not living in the present and when I'm in conversation with someone else I'm thinking about something else. Need to do these steps pronto.] 
  4. 10 Tips to Let Go of the Past & Embrace the Future 
  5. 5 Things That Keep Us Forever Young: I think laughter is the best one, as well as singing. Singing along to a song always makes me happy and I don't care of how out of tune I sound, I like singing along anyways :)

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving day this week.

Live Your Purpose



I first found out about this video from Jess from the blog Makeunder My Life and I fell in love with it.

It has inspired me so much, and pushed me to really follow my dreams.

This video is on Mastin from The Daily Love. He is being interviewed my Marie Forleo who's website I adore and I always read her advice.

One of the things I freaking loved about this video was the conversation he had with his mom. It is so inspirational, so I'll let you guys hear it for yourself and see what you make of it (the time 13:08 -17:20).

If you have time today, definitely watch it, it is super inspirational. And let me know what you think of it.

"Everyone has oceans to fly if they have the heart. Is it reckless? Yes! But what do dreams know about boundaries?" -Amelia Earhart

"So what is holding you back? What is the dream that you want so bad?" -Marie Forleo.

I asked myself that same question, and it opened my eyes and mind to what I really want to do. And I definitely buried it because people told me I couldn't do it.

So if you would love to follow the conversation, you can check out Marie's original post here

Eaton Canyon


1750 North Altadena Drive
Pasadena, CA 91107
‪(626) 398-5420‬


As a little cardio workout I usually like to go hiking. This time I experienced my first time on a new hiking trail - Eaton Canyon.

Eaton Canyon is located in Pasadena at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. It holds a trail more scenic than my usual dry dirt hikes at the Whittier Hills.

This trail was very confusing especially to get to Eaton Canyon Falls. I decided to go with my sister on this hike, since she has already conquered this trail. Even to her she would get confused sometimes as the trails do disappear especially when you cross the little streams. Thank goodness I brought her.

I couldn't tell you exactly what trails I took to get to the waterfall, but I did start from the main parking lot near the Nature Center. This website has a great Trail Description on how to get to the waterfall if its your choice. Just make sure you go under the bridge not over it (as many people do & have a harder time finding the waterfall).

Signs like these help.

Although it didn't feel like much of a workout only on some parts, it still can be a little dangerous. There are streams you have to cross like this one:


and some rocks can be slippery and you CAN fall. I saw this poor girl fall while crossing one of the streams coming back from the waterfall - it looked like it hurt. I almost slipped too on the dry road trails as you are heading down coming back from the waterfall. And also be ready to get possibly wet and go over some fallen tree trunks.

At times the hike can get overcrowded with children hiking with their class. There are also many people who take their dogs on the hike with them, so if your not into dogs be careful because there are some unleashed dogs with their owners during the hike.


And as you walk down the trail be careful on stepping on one of these little guys, as I almost did.


Nice scenic route, and shade in most parts, thanks to the abundance of trees leading towards the waterfall.

We made it! Eaton Canyon Falls.


Time: The hike took two hours in total for us. One hour to get there & one to come back (some people can do it faster).
Parking: is free
Bathroom: There are porta potties in the start of the hike (which smell horrible!) But according to their website they also have bathrooms inside their Nature Center.

Have you ever gone to Eaton Canyon? Let me know below and your experience. What are some hiking trails you like to go to?

Let's Go Shopping!


After realizing I needed to go shopping for summer, I didn't just want to go and splurge on anything - I needed a few essentials.

So instead of doing my usual to do list on what to buy I decided to make a collage with magazine pictures of essentials I needed.

This is so much more visually appealing than writing everything I want to buy. This creative collage actually helped and it kept me focused on what pieces I wanted to add into my wardrobe for the summer season.

If you can't really see, these were my go to items I needed for summer:
1. Cute Shorts
2. Pastels
3. Cute Bracelets
4. Gold Bangles
5. Accordion Pleated Skirt
6. Chiffon Button Down Blouses
7. Summer Loose Shirts
8. Summer Dresses
9. Colorful Nails
10. Anything Fun!

How do you shop? Do you just go buy on impulse, whatever you like, or are you a strategic shopper like me? I would love to know.

And what are some essentials for you this summer?
