28 Fun Facts About Me!
Happy Friday everyone and Happy Birthday to me! In honor of turning 28 today, I thought it would be fun to share 28 fun facts about myself. I’ll also be sharing more details about these facts on my Instagram stories this weekend. But first, I have to thank Sucre in New Orleans for making me the most beautiful macaron cake I’ve ever seen. And would you believe if I said that it tasted even better than it looked? Because it did!

28 Fun Facts About Me:
- I’m Filipino and Italian. My mom is full Italian and my dad is full Filipino.
2) My husband, Blake and I have been together since high school so we’re currently going on 13 years! Crazy, right?
3) I interned in Disney World when I was junior in college. I wanted to be a princess (Jasmine or Pocahontas), but I was “too short” so I ended up taking out at the trash at Peco’s Bill in Magic Kingdom for four months of my life instead. Let’s just say I don’t consider Disney World to be the most magical place on earth anymore. LOL
4) I’m always hungry and never turn down Chick-fil-a.
5) My personal blog interview was published in the LiketoKnow.it coffee table book this past month. See here—>Stories From The Influencer Next Door
6) I casually host dance parties and perform impromptu musicals for my husband all the time even when doesn’t ask me to, which by the way….he never asks me to! LOL
7) When I was little I wanted to be an actor and singer. I actually still dream about it.
8) I auditioned for the tv show Glee when I was in college. Obviously, they didn’t cast me, but we all know they’re clearly missing out. 😉
9) I have zero concept of time all thanks to my mother who made me late for everything growing up, but I’m working on it. I always set my clocks 10 minutes ahead to try and help.

10) I hate scary movies and can’t even watch the previews. When Blake and I go to the movies, I wait outside of the theatre until the previews over and then he calls me in. That’s how big of a baby I am!
11) When I started my blog, I barely knew how to use a computer! Now I run my own website.
12) I went to LSU for 5 years, but never graduated because my blog started bringing more opportunities than school did. However, I can always go back one day! Maybe.
13) I never let Blake and I go to bed mad at each other.
14) I love hot coffee in the morning, which I put in the microwave at least five times before finishing it.
15) Some of my favorite shows include: Friends, The Office, Modern Family and This Is Us
16) While I love brunch, it also stresses me out because I hate skipping lunch. LOL I love all meals though and the thought of skipping one gives me anxiety.
17) I’m a notorious overpacker, yet I never even get around to wearing even half of the things I packed.
18) I am the most positive person you will ever meet. My glass is always half full!
I thought I knew 28 fun facts about myself, but now I’m running out of things to say so I’m going to let Blake take over. This should be interesting…
8 more things you don’t know about me (written by Blake):
19) Jenn is a terrible driver. Do not get in the car with her or ask her for directions unless you’re looking for the nearest Chick-fil-a.
20) She used to only watch the Disney channel until I recently converted her to Netflix this past year.
21) Jenn doesn’t know how to cook, but she always knows how to make me laugh. She has the best sense of humor and always knows how to laugh at herself.
22) We almost didn’t get to go on our first date because she was in trouble for leaving the garage door open.
23) Her meal was only $4 on our first date. Clearly that was a trick. Let’s just say it’s never been under $4 since!
24) She has made me multiple scrapbooks over the years “that I read everyday because I love them!” 😉
25) She’ll always make you feel like the smartest person in the room…;)
26) Every morning when I bring her coffee in bed, she says “bring me my robes!” like she’s the queen of the house or something. LOL! She also requests a pair of socks her feet are always cold.
27) She dances around the house way more than y’all witness on Instagram stories.
28) She is literally the most annoying person I know, but I can’t imagine anyone else more annoying that I would rather spend the rest of my life with! Happy Birthday Jenn! I love you!

Hi everyone, is your mouth watering yet at all of this Sucre goodness? I thought so! I’m sure most of you local New Orleanians are familiar with Sucre’s king cakes, macaroons and gourmet, handmade desserts. What you might not be so familiar with is the King Cake’s Irish twin, the Paddy Cake! The delicious rich chocolate, salted caramel cream, folded into layers of buttery brioche, and topped with a glistening Irish whiskey glaze is baked at Sucre seasonally in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. I must tell you that when I tasted it for the first time, it merely melted in my mouth and then had me running around the house singing “Paddy Cake, Paddy Cake” from the sugar high. Thank goodness that I didn’t keep all of those Paddy Cakes for myself because I probably would have eaten every last heavenly bite! I highly recommend that you try one! We all know that I have a serious sweet tooth so you can trust me when it comes to dessert reviews. Oh and by the way, it’s best served warm! If you want to take it to whole a new level of amazingness, add a scoop of gelato! Let me know what you think after that!
Stay tuned for more delectable desserts from Sucre on Haute Off The Rack. These treats will have you trying to reach through computer screen!

Naked On The Run Palette c/o Urban Decay Cosmetics
Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today, I’m sharing my beauty on-the-go tricks with Urban Decay’s Naked On The Run palette. If you’re always running around to different meetings and events like me, you will love Urban Decay’s Naked On The Run travel kit especially if you’re one to finish your makeup in the car (not while driving). It’s also great to use for a quick touch up in between work and dinner dates if you don’t have time to stop at home. The travel kit has everything you need for that ultimate Naked look: “six ALL-NEW shades of Eyeshadow (including an extra large dose of the perfect all-over shade, 5050). Bronzer. Blush. It even comes with a full-size Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss and a travel-size 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil (both new shades), plus a travel-size Perversion Mascara.”
6 On-The-Go Beauty Tips:
1) Pack your Urban Decay Naked On The Run Travel Kit for quick and easy touch-ups of course! It’s got you covered when it comes to your eyes, cheeks, lips and highlights!
2) Always keep makeup remover or face cleansing wipes in your bag to help you get rid of the smudged mascara and eyeliner beneath your eyes before reapplying. That goes for lipstick too! Dry lips with worn off lipstick is not a good look! Gently remove your old lipstick with a wipe and rub on some lip balm (I like to use Aquaphor) before applying more lipstick and/or lipgloss.
3) Keep a mini deodorant on hand! Even if you don’t stink, it will still help you feel refreshed!
4) Mini Hairspray & a hairbrush (or) comb are an absolute MUST especially if you’ve got long hair like me! Clean up your strays and detangle the ends of your hair before finishing with a light hairspray. I like to use The Wet Brush because it glides effortlessly through my tangles and eliminates all the tearing and tugging. (mini version here–> The Wet Brush Squirt) For hairspray, I like to use Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Medium Finish to spray all over my head because it’s lightweight product and it smells amazing! I also love the smell of Air Control by Aveda. **Side Note: Sometimes I like to wrap my hair into a loose bun while I drive to set loose curls. Once I arrive to my next location, I pull out the bun, tussle my roots and run my fingers through my hair to get those effortless beach like waves. I finish the look by spraying hairspray throughout my entire do!
5) Always pack your concealer or a lightweight foundation to help conceal anything that pops up on your face. I like to finish with a loose mineral powder to set the foundation.
6) Last but not least, drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day to help maintain fresh and vibrant looking skin!
I really do always keep all of these items on hand when I’m out and about! You can even ask my friends. Speaking of my friends… in my last post about the On The Run travel kit, I mentioned that I think my boyfriend and friends secretly had the Naked On The Run Palette created just for me so that they don’t have to wait on me while I pack all of my stuff to finish getting ready in the car! Just Kidding, but it really is perfect for all of us “always running behind” people.
