1 Husband
3 Boys
Too Many Friends To Count
According To Jessica...
is a blog about things that I love, things that I find funny, things that inspire me and things that I want to shamelessly complain about but don't actually want any feedback or advice on.First and foremost, I love Jesus.
I've been married for almost 10 years and we have 3 messy, smelly, dirty boys. I love my kids. Love, love, love them. But 85% of the time, I want to be away from them. (And it's really 90% of the time, but I thought 85% sounded better.) I am a real Mom. I don't pack snacks and plan playdates. At the end of the day, if no one's bleeding and everyone has had at least 2 meals, I consider it a win. (Everybody's hands go up!!!) I depend on coffee the way most people depend of electricity. I classify cereal an acceptable dinner. I single-handly have kept the good people of the Sumner Fred Meyer across the street employed by the amount of money we spend on groceries. I have wasted hours neglecting my household and children working on this blog. I believe Jessica Simpson shoes are more important than routine oil changes. I am a bit of a clothes whore. Some people collect stamps, some collect antique dolls...I collect clothes. My husband wakes up in the morning and reads the newspaper. I wake up in the morning and read The Possessionista. I have the best intentions and very poor follow through. I have an outstanding track record of losing and/or breaking electronic devices. I often forget that I am Asian. And last but not least, if I had to choose between Happy Hour at Stanley & Seaforts and a Free People Maxi Dress...I would karate chop the person making me choose and take both.
*Disclaimer* If you are looking for a Mommy Blog to give you great advice on making your own organic food or creating craft projects for rainy days...look elsewhere. In fact, let me just help you out now. The "Unfollow" button is at the top of the page.

I FINALLY FOUND IT!
I’ve been on the hunt for that perfect peach blush for the better part of a year. I’ve Googled, tested, bought and returned multiple blush colors. I’ve tried everything from Nordstrom to Walgreens and have all but pulled my hair out (and drained my wallet) to find this blush. And I’m so excited to have finally found it.
It’s a beautiful peachy blush, with a teeny, tiny bit of gold shimmer. Don’t believe me? Go to Sephora and test it out. I’ve seen it on all skin types…from Kim Kardashian to Giuliana Rancic to… Okay, so maybe 1 skin type. Never mind. Scratch that.
All I know, is that when I look back on 2012, I’ll remember the Presidential Election, Kristen Stewart cheating on Robert Pattinson and that I finally found Peach Blush.
How beautiful does Audrina Patridge look in this makeunder by xojane? I’ve always thought she was stunning, and these are probably my favorite pics of her. Love it!
I’m sure you’ve heard this before, because I’ve heard it a thousand times: Take care of your skin. Moisturize. Use a 96SPF. Use your fourth finger around your eyes. Don’t pop your zits. Your pillowcase is not an acceptable washcloth for washing your face at night.
I will admittedly admit (wait, what?) that I do not take good care of my skin. I’m horrible. I’m too tired at the end of the day to remove my bra sometimes, let alone wash my face. And I tan. All the time. Underneath the MAC bronzer, I’m a real Asian, with a yellow tint and stubby eyelashes. But, as they say, I’m not gettin’ any younger.
I decided that because I’m so late to the party, I’ll buy all the expensive creams, lotions, serums and masks I can and maybe that will take off a few years. Luckily, I have a beautiful friend who works at Estee Lauder, and she gives me tons of samples, tells me what I need or don’t need and that frying my face in a tanning bed last week “was the worst thing possible.” Her words, not mine. Because mine were, “But I’m saving money on self tanner!”
Anyway, my two favorites thus far are Estee Lauder Idealist and Advanced Night Repair. They even out skin tone, tighten and firm (who doesn’t need that?) and smell nice. I give them both two, very enthusiastic thumbs up.
I should take before and after pictures for you all to see. I would…but…I don’t wanna. (Name that Friends episode!)
My Favorite Color This Spring: Orange Tangerine.
I’m obsessed. I want to buy everything in this beautiful orange color. And not just clothes or accessories. I’m talking curtains, iPhone case, paint, lipstick, whatever. If I can find a perfume in an orange bottle, I’d buy that too, regardless of what it smells like. Lol!
The beautiful dresser is from Emily A. Clark’s blog.
It just looks like spring. And I could use a little spring.
I finally decided to go ahead and try eyelash extensions. And so far…I love them.
They look more natural than my fake eyelashes. And while they’re not AS dramatic…its easier just to swipe a cost of mascara over them in the morning and go. No more messing with glue! The upkeep is a little more work and washing my face takes a little more concentration (so I don’t yank them out) but overall, I just like them better.
Makeup Day!
Once a year we go and get our makeup professionally done at Nordstrom. For no reason at all. This years makeup was done courtesy of MAC Cosmetics. Love them and I loved all of our fun looks. :)
