Today's Link Love is dedicated to getting happy. I found four links that brought a smile to my face and hopefully they can do the same for you. Hope you enjoy!

• 19 Mindblowing Historical Doppelgangers: After finding this link on Anne the Adventurer, I had to share this with you. Some of them made me laugh and others were like OMG he/she totally looks like that celebrity. Haha! If you want a nice laugh check it out. Doppelgangers: An apparition or double of a living person (according to Apple's dictionary if you didn't know what that word meant). 
• Lily's Disneyland Surprise!: If you guys haven't already watched the video, you have to watch it. Make sure your not around anyone. Lol. This video made me cry. I got this link from Jess Lively's blog. And I thought I share it with you. So hopefully it brings you happiness.
• Kate Spade New York Spring 2013: Katie from All Glammed Up shows you Kate Spade's Spring 2013 collection and is freaking amazing. You will leave the post with a smile. I'm totally inspired. How about you?
• Joe Biden Accidentally blurts out "I'm proud to be president of the United States: And my favorite part of this weekend was this clip. Joe Biden accidentally says he is president of the United States… oops! Haha. Oh well… at least I know that the leaders of our country have a little sense of humor :) Makes them seem more human. This totally made my day! Have a great weekend everyone.

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.

I'll be back!

I'm going to take a break for a little while until I figure out what I want to do with this blog. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciate it. Thanks for reading! <3

Believe!

A little inspiration for you on this Monday. Have a great week! <3

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
