I'm back for a little bit and with fresh content! Whoo hooo! How was your weekend? I was super busy volunteering, going to game nights and celebrating one of girlfriend's birthday. This weekend was one to remember. On top of all of that I finally found a body wash that cleanses and helps soften my skin without breaking the bank! Keep scrolling to read more!

it wasn't the weight that was killing me, it was the helplessness that I felt within my own body. I felt like a fat, ashamed piece of meat. If I'm being honest, I hated seeing myself naked and wanted to get back to who I was before I quit my internship last summer, before I started hanging out within a large group, before I started looking for love in all of the wrong place... I just wanted to feel good about the way that I looked naked again.

I rarely, if ever tell myself "no." What Jasmine wants, Jasmine gets. That has always been the way that I've lived my life. When it comes to shopping and eating, my lack of self control have resulted in credit card debt and excessive weight gain. But a week ago, I decided to fight the urge to shop by challenging myself not to buy any of my favorite things for 2 weeks.

Yesterday was the first day of Spring and we were greeted with snow in Kansas City. How was the weather near you? I couldn't do anything, but laugh and slightly complain in my chipmunk voice on snapchat. LOL

Are you ready to grow your Pinterest following? I want to help you get there! Pinterest is easily becoming one of my favorite social networks. You can share a ton of content within 20 minutes without being spammy and you can re-pin without being obnoxious. 

I get tons of request from people who need help with their blogs or don't know where to start with sharing their story. My advice is always the same, "Start now, with what you have." I started blogging almost 3 years ago with my laptop, camera phone images and no design background. I just wanted to share my story and to give nameless, faceless women the courage to chase their dreams.

 I'm so excited and a little nervous, but happy more than anything to start at my new job. I want to do well with the company, so I've decided to share some of what I've learned in terms of job searching, professional apparel and standing out in the saturated market space for good paying jobs post graduation. 

Happy Thursday guys, which really means it's almost the weekend! I was featured on the Think Big, Plan Small podcast yesterday! Throughout the podcast Jeffery J. and I talk about following your passion over the paycheck and I share pieces of my story. 

I just completely forgot about the fact that I could treat myself. This year, I am doing just that. Last year, I was waiting for my parents do something special for me or my ex-bf because they were who I expected to love me. I completely ignored the fact that I could love and spoil myself.

It has been roughly nine months since I graduated from the University of Missouri. Time surely flies, it feels like just yesterday I was filing Tiger Trends with Emily and getting dressed for Roxy's with my girls. A lot has changed for me since moving back home, so I figured I would give you guys an update on my post grad journey.

My goal is to teach other first-generation college girls that they can build successful digital brands without a ton of money. Below I've compiled a list of blog posts filled with tips and tricks for brand building and growth on a college budget.

Do you want success in life after college? That means being intentional with your goal setting, planning, and time management. It's time achieve your scary ass goals!
