Pregnancy Essentials + Believing in God's plan

Happy Hump Day! 

I am excited it is half way through the week! Wednesdays feel so far away sometimes, but it's finally here. I am officially 19 weeks preggo, and if you have been reading you know that we are finding out the sex in two days! :) I told my family that we would have a revealing party on Sunday (If I can hold it in!)... We are going to have it either way, for me it's just a reason to get together and EAT. Since that's one of my many pleasures nowadays. 

I thought today I would share a few must haves that are especially important for me, this week at least..

1. Comfy, loose clothing. I seriously feel like dresses are the best way to go, they are light which is great for our current weather and they help you feel free *in all the right places* Ha!

2. Sunglasses. Of course with 97 degree weather and counting the sun is shining down. On top of SPF you must have some stylish shades. Also to hide the fact that you don't really want to wear makeup, you know what I mean!

3. SNACKS! I keep a few different snacks in my bag at all time. Because the little one is taking up space in my tummy, I can't even those big meals I love. I must nibble all day. White cheddar popcorn is my all-time fave. 

4. Cocoa Butter/Belly Cream. Smells so good and helps with those marks on the bod. Gotta take care of the bod. 

5. Water. Gotta stay hydrated, and its important to make sure you have a cute water bottle with you for it. You can always count on VS to get the job done. 

6. A fan. I often feel extremely exhausted and overworked after doing absolutely nothing. Like for example, after I eat. I feel like I've just run a mile. Fan is a must to keep cool as it's still smoltering hot here in MN. 

7. Last but certainly not least, cute comfy shoes. My feet are starting to look chubby.. And although I haven't packed on many pregnancy LB's yet, I know their coming so I gotta get comfortable. 

Exciting News!

So, I don't think I told you guys, but I have been looking into an opportunity to work in the marketing/interactive area at my job. Jesus actually led me to this position. Well, I got it! Got a raise! And start next week! AHHH! I'm super excited to get going, but I am obviously going to miss my girls in my current area! 

Jeremiah 29:11 

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."

What I wanted to point out is the importance of following God's plan for you. Jesus told me back in January that sometimes we are not given things that we want, when we want them. This is because we are not always ready for them. Taking God's lead in everything will always lead us into the right direction, right on time. You see, He doesn't need any help. In fact His plan is so perfect, it already has a beautiful ending. We have to trust in God's plan, not our own, and know that He has the best plan for our lives. 

Have a great day!

A Familiar Face

Hola Friends!!

Hope your week is going absolutely fabulous! We are a few steps closer to the Christmas weekend! :) WOo HoO!

Question: Have you ever had someone randomly shout out someone else's name and point to you?

I'm sure this has happened to quite a few people. You see my name is "Jena" (pronounced Gina). But most of my life people have called my "Jenna", so I'm used to them getting it wrong. -__-

Question: Have you ever been approached by a stranger and told that you look very familiar?

You're lucky if you said no. I almost always get approached by random people and they say I look super familiar. It's almost like they have met me before. As I deny profusely, they insist that we know each other. I must just have a familiar face.

Don't get me wrong:

I would never wish to be anyone else but myself, yet overtime, people would approach me and say I looked like Rudy from the Cosby Show. People would shout out Rudy as I walked down the street when out with my girlfriends. Actually, 70% of my co-workers at my last job thought it was cute to call me this.  -__- . Like everyday. -__- . So you can see how this can get annoying at some point. However, she is gorg, so although sometimes I don't see it, I run with it.

So, this post is dedicated to the fab Keshia Knight Pulliam, known most famously for her role as the young Rudy Huxtable in the Cosby Show & more recently as Miranda from her role on TBS's House of Payne. This petite beauty was the youngest actress to ever be nominated for an Emmy, and has won multiple NAACP awards for her professional work! She's thebomb.com.

Okay, so what's your opinion?

As often as I get Keshia, I get Aisha Tyler. You may recognize her from a few places. First, she's a comedian. Hosted Talk Soup, and the reality dating show, The Fifth Wheel (I admit, I loved this show). You may also recognize her as Ross's girlfriend from the hit show, "Friends" in some of the last seasons. Anywho, she's funny and stunning!

I'll run with it. 

The only way I would be offended if is either of these ladies went off the deep end. As for now, all is good. 

Though, I'd cry if I was told I looked like Chewbacca.

So tell me, Who are your Celeb Look-A-Likes?

Who do people insist you favor, even if you don't see it?

Live IN Love.

A few different ideas for the same look. Enjoy.

Tucked In or Out? You be the judge.

First off, Happy Hump Day!

The middle of the week is almost over and we are getting closer to the weekend! Cheers to all of you who are holding back from yelling at your co-workers (and/or boss), or those of you who took an extra 15 minute break at work! Let your hair down today, we're almost there!!

As for me, I have an little story about the "Live In Love" bracelets. If any of you have ever purchased Lucky Brand Jeans you would know that they used to put these bracelets in the pockets of every pair of jeans. As for me I have about 20 of them. I used to work at The Buckle where we sold denim, and upon people trying on the jeans and what not, they would be all on the floor of the store. Everyone I worked with had a few and we thought (and still do think) they were pretty cool! It's just a piece of leather with those words stitched in, but I love you how you can add it and it helps to make a bit of a statement.

So... What do you think? How was your "Hump-Day"?
