Update for 2017 | Lifestyle

Quote of the day!
Stay positive, Work hard, and Make it happen.      

Hello guys, 
   Welcome back, today I'm here to share few updates for the year 2017. I just want to say 2016 has been amazing it had it's ups and downs but, the end was pretty fun. I turned 20 and finally said goodbye to teenage years but, I'm not quite a adult yet. I'm at the awkward age in between. I'm not complaining though, being 20 is super fun so far. There are no major updates but, definitely a difference in content and it's quality. I'm a huge believer in high quality. I have always been and I will continue to post valuable content for you guys. 
    One thing, I know already is that 2017 is going to be different. I think, I have grown a lot as a person in this past year and my style has evolved. I have also updated my website, if you haven't already noticed make sure to subscribe so, you won't miss any future posts. I have lots of exciting projects planned for this year after we hit few mile stones together. We are extremely close to 5k on Instagram and lets try to get to 10k for a huge surprise it's something, I have been waiting to do for a really long time. I need you guy's support to make it all happen.
    Travel Thursday series will start from this Thursday and its going to be epic. I can't wait for you guys to see it. Regular Sunday post will start from next Sunday. I will try my very best to be constant with my uploads but, as I have mentioned before, I much rather have quality content then quantity. I'm a full time college student first and then a blogger so, at times during exams. I have to be 100 percent present with studies and its hard to balance out.

Cheers to 2017 let's make lots of memories and make big things happen this year. I want to spread more positive vibes this year. Let's make this little space for ours a really happy one. Always remember the best is yet to come. Until next time, always keep hustling for your dreams. Xo, Jessi.

Last day of India trip 2015-2016

January 12th

        On this day lots of my friends and relatives came to visit. My two cousin brothers took day off to spent time with me. One of my cousin got me a raw mango of which my aunty made this chutney for me. A group of my school friends visited me and it felt like the fun is now over, but my cousins surprised me at night with Chinese bhel and faluda. The only one thing left in my food checklist was Chinese bhel and they helped me check it off. I mean literally the best people. They made my night. 

January 13th

     The day had finally come, I had to say Goodbye and leave for the states. Nothing feels right on the last day and all I kept thinking about is how, I don't want to leave and how much, I love India and the people here and how, hard it's to be to go back and literally count days and months until the next visit. I had a long 3 and half years countdown and wait till this trip and in a wink of an eye it was over. On the final day, its usually all busy. We packed our bags gave hugs to family and that was all. As we were leaving and after we said our final pray. I realized why is it so hard to say goodbye to India. It's because, I don't know the next time, I will get to see everyone again. I know they won't be the same when, I see them again and I won't be the same the next time I visit. In matter of 3 and half years so many things had changed. I got to experience a really different India. My friend's weren't the same everything felt different. My cousins were all grown up and had entered different phases in their life. Its life and we just have to accept it, I guess. With a very heavy heart and with tears in my eyes. I left my country and my home.

Me and my cousin Alisha got engagement because, we didn't want to leave each other alone.

Saying goodbye to Grandma

Bye Mumbai! I love you.

The 15 years old girl lived her dream and came back home for a while, She now realized that visiting home has became her new dream. 

This India trip was an absolute adventure. I met some amazing people and made incredible memories which will last me a life time. After all it was my very first trip back home. I would like to say a Huge THANK YOU to all you guys for following this journey with me. It's been an absolute pleasure to share my India trip with you all. Also, My #jdstriptoindia posts have got the most views till the date and by that, I know its you guy's favorite thing to read about. Well, I guess its never an ending because, every ending is just a New Beginning. 

I'm very excited to share #jdstriptoindiapart2 with you all starting next Thursday. I don't want to give it away but, I have a very exciting change added to the new series. I have been working super hard to get it together for you guys. I hope you guys will enjoy the part 2 even more then the part one. Even though, #jdstriptoindia will be forever my favorite because, that's how it all started.

My poor ice cream which, I threw away when my grandpa came downstairs to water the plants. I was scared that

4 winter looks | Fashion

Hello guys!
         Welcome back, I am so happy to finally sit down and share lot more posts with you all. I have one new post going up everyday for next 8 days. I'm super excited to share them. Be sure to be back tomorrow. Today, I'm sharing my 4 favorite winter looks. Also, giving some tips on how to stay cozy and look cute as the same time. It's very easy to just wear all black in winter but, I promise wearing a colorful outfit will make a difference. Life is always prettier in colors. Even though, I know I wear all black most of the days. Its all feels when to wear more color. Here are few tips to add more color to your outfits. 
  

Look 1 

Wear a thick cardigan. I like to buy Cardigans in neutral colors so that, I can easily pair them with all my sweaters. This will keep you warm and you will still look very put together.

 Look 2 

A cozy winter sweater is a must easy to put on and you know it will look cute no matter what. Adding layers like knee socks will help keep warm.

 Look 3

Turtle necks are my favorites for winter. They make a great winter statement and look good on everyone.

Look 4

I have tried this look for the first time this year. I am all about that perfect fitting clothes but, an over sized sweater is game changer. It's extremely cozy and if paired right it looks effortlessly beautiful.

I hope you guys find these tips. Let me know which one is your favorite look. 
Remember to always keep hustling for your dreams. Xo, Jessi.
