An autumn day to remember! 10|15|16

Hello everyone!

        I'm really excited to share this post with you all. It's a very special post my first cousin got married on October 15th of this month. I can't believe that he is married now. It just feels like yesterday when me and my cousin Celina used to talk about his wedding. We used to talk about his wedding when were 6-7 years old while playing on our terrace. We had planned the dresses we wanted to wear, the way we wanted to do our hair, and makeup. We knew that someday we will be in America to attend our cousins wedding. I can't believe we have lived that day now. It's funny how we had planned it all when we were young but, we literally brought our dresses one week before the wedding. I got my dress on Wednesday and Celina got her's on Thursday. I am glad we both found the dresses that we really liked.

        Now lets talk about the wedding. I won't write much because, I think the pictures speak for themselves. My cousin had a destination wedding. We drove to Ohio State and stayed there overnight after the wedding. The wedding mass went really well. It was peaceful to hear and beautiful to watch. Oh, did I mention this was the first American wedding that, I have ever attended. After the mass, we took some pictures in front of the church and then we drove to the venue. The reception venue was on a golf court with the most beautiful sunset view. The wedding reception was a lot of fun. The food tasted as good as it looked we danced until our feet were hurting. After the wedding, we went to the hotel. Late at night we ordered room service and the pizza's were gone within seconds. Next day, we had to wake up early for brunch. We had some really good food on our table. Strawberry iced tea, honey maple bacon and much more! After the brunch we said goodbye to everyone and went our separate ways. After reaching home, we unpacked and relaxed for a bit and went out to eat some Indian food. It was a eventful weekend, one that I will always remember. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this post and enjoy the pictures below.

        Until next time, keep hustling for your dreams. Xo, Jessi.

1 Year Blogiversary!

If you have been here since the beginning this is the 51st   blog post written by me. Exactly one year ago, the 23rd of August 2015, a passionate girl was hitting the button “Publish” for the first time! I was nervous but, also super excited to share about the things that love. I literally thought no one was going to even bother reading my blogs. I have always loved writing and it’s great to know that you guys enjoy and appreciate my thoughts and ideas. They say that time flies when you’re having fun, and they sure are right! Today, as I look back there is whole new memory lane that I have created for myself Apart from being a full time college student and working part-time I am so proud to have a little space of my own.

​Things I have learned in a year: It’s okay if others don’t understand your dreams as long as you believe in them go pursue them. I am so happy that I took the lead to start a blog. I know so many people who have gotten inspired and started their own blogs. I didn’t know anyone who had a blog and I was scared to start my own. In the first week, I receive a lot of negative comments from my very own friends. It made me sad, I wasn’t expecting for such a bad start. I am proud to say that, I didn’t question myself or took a step back, but I realized when you do something different people won’t understand. I’m happy that, I was the first person to go out of my comfort zone and do something different. I am so thankful that I took on to this crazy beautiful adventure. 

​I posted this picture on my Instagram right after I published my first blog. “She hustles in heels” is what I wanted to name my blog. Later on, I decided to go by my name as my name is spelled in a very unique way. I still use the saying she hustles in heels as the meaning behind my blog. To me it’s extremely important to work for what I want. To pursue my dreams and hustle hard for them every single day of my life and I also believe to work hard and keep classy.

​Thanks to my mom who is my number one supporter and few other people who have always had my back you know who you are. A huge thanks to all of you for being a part of my journey and completing 365 days and 4 seasons, 1 college year, I’m so happy that I got to share my travel experience. So, grateful to have collaborated with some amazing brands. I promise it’s only going to get better from here. Lots more exciting things are planned ahead. For now, I want to enjoy the last few hours and celebrate 1 year Blogiversary before we step into the second year blogging.

A day in Detroit Downtown | Travel Thursday

            On a Saturday, I decide to explore my city. Often times in summer and throughout the year I long for travel and usually I dream of going to Paris, California or New York and the list goes on. Travelling is expensive and being a college student spending on schooling is my priority which is why I only travel and take big vacations couple times a year. This summer I have decided to explore my city. I live in an absolutely beautiful city which has so much to offer all around the year. I went to downtown Detroit for the fourth time and every time I go there I have experienced something new.
            I started off my day touring The Renaissance buildings which is the General motors world headquarters seven stunning interconnected skyscrapers located opposite to the International Riverfront its one of the tourist attraction with a skyline view of Detroit, Michigan. After looking at the beautiful car exhibitions we went up 72 floors where we got to see the skyline view of Canada and US at the same time as it was breath taking. The view from the top is always pretty. It made me fall more in love with my city. I'm so thankful to live in such beautiful place. Downtown Detroit is a must visit place if you ever come to Michigan. Later on, after lunch I watched air show which left me in awe I never that many cool planes exists. I barely took any pictures of the air and water shows I just enjoyed in the moment and decided not to miss the fun while taking videos and pictures. I love heights they give me a different perspective on things. Over all, I had an amazing day and I can't wait till my next trip to Downtown Detroit.
            I have decided to take a little break from Travel stories from India. I have lined up all my recent travel stories so tuned in for new travel Thursday next week.

      Welcome back, I have already written about my day January 2nd check it out (Click on January 2nd). Now on here I'm sharing the pictures from the second wedding that I attend in my trip and first wedding for year 2016. I wore a Punjab dress for the Saturday party. It looked very unique and was surprisingly very comfortable. I loved the beaded work on it and the color combo. Pink and purple such a great pair. This was a great dress to wear at night due to the bright colors and different texture. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures down below.

First weekend of my India trip | Travel Thursday

After a very long flight and no sleep for three days I finally got some rest. It wasn't enough though, early in the morning my baby cousin (Shaniya) woke me up. I played around with her for a bit and went downstairs for breakfast. I had a Chai tea, which is the traditional Indian breakfast. Later on, I got ready went around the neighborhood and said hello to cousins. After lunch I was waiting for my uncle to come and drive me home. I spent some time with grandma and some other older women. They were all surrounded around me and spoken fluent Kadodi and I replied to them in Marathi. By the end of our conversation, I got pretty good at talking in Kadodi too. They literally brought back my past memory! I went home later on met lots of family members again all day. My favorite cousin gave me a beef Vada pav. My first Vada pav after 3 and half years. It tasted really good I enjoyed every bit of it! A Vada pav is basically a deep fried Potato (beef) patty in between two slices of bread. It's almost like the Indian version of a burger, although it tastes very different. Then two my best friends came to meet me. I spent almost 2 hours talking to them. I was so happy that we connected instantly. They told me a lot of stories that I had missed on over the years. I couldn’t really relate as I missed college phrase with them but I could definitely understand them. As I have known them for over 12 years. It was a very busy day just meeting everyone. Then I got a throat infection later on at night. So I didn't eat dinner my grandpa suspected that I got the infection due to the oily Vada pav I had. Opes!! I wouldn’t say it was worth it but I didn't regret it.

Next day I woke up early to attend 3^rd mass at the Holy Spirit church. I didn’t quite enjoy the mass because I had to watch it from a TV with at least 50 other people. For a while I felt like I was just sitting in my living room here in Michigan and watching an old Sunday mass on YouTube. When it snows a lot my dad does that on a Sunday. Ha-ha! After mass I felt the difference there was a huge crowd. I got home and my house was full of guest. I had a very quick but one of my favorite breakfasts spread. On this very day I felt in love with Jalebis all over again. During middle school days my Grandfather (Baba) used to bring Jalebis for me almost every day in the morning. Whenever anyone asked me what I like to eat. I shamelessly answered Jalebi. At times I received two-three packets of Jalebis in the morning. There were many guests at my house but my cousin sneak me out of the house and took me on a super long drive. The songs in his car were mixer of old and new ones. I had a blast everything around looked very different and I was just trying to take it all in. I kind of got emotional because I knew I’m going to go back in a month and this day and drive will be just a memory. I have couple videos from the car I watch them over and over again and I go right back to that very moment. Later on I went to my cousin’s fiance's house to meet him and his family I also had a lot of Jalebi there. You know can’t say no to Jalebis. In the afternoon my cousin comes with his fiance it was great meeting her she is wonderful young lady. Then I went out with my cousin to her friend’s houses for her wedding invitations. In the evening my friends came over it was great to catch up! We had an amazing dinner cooked by my uncle and aunt. It ended up with a long conversation. I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Next Thursday I will share an excited first week!
