February Sponsor Welcome {Jen}

Go go gadget SPONSORS! Okay, so in case you didn't know, I've known Krystal for 15 years (we literally just figured it out this morning- true story) so of course I had to support her and be a sponsor so her blog could in turn support me. Whew.

Celebrating the Royal Wedding at a local pub

Knowing each other since the 6th grade, you realize that one very common element in your friendship is music and as our friendship progressed, it meant boy bands. We had a severe love for boy bands and I'm not ashamed to say that we still do. We may or may not have had a plethora of Nsync posters lining our bedroom walls...we may or may not have waited for hours in line at a Wal-Mart and bought presents for each member of O-Town before meeting them...we may or may not have stalked boy bands after concerts...anyway, the point is that as music junkies we created some of my favorite posts with a linkup, Tubular Tuesdays, where we showcased our favorite songs (Oldies, 80s, 90s, 00s, Current, Soundtracks).

But, besides my favorite music linkup, you'll find my stories about painting here, here, and here. With friends and members of my family, I have gone to many an instructions paint class. You'll also find a lot of posts that mention my boyfriend...I just love his smiling mug...and the things we do, including a chili cook-off/food truck rally, Giraffe Ranch Tour, photo montages and beachy stuffs (we are in Florida, after all).

I was MOH in my BFF's wedding in November

I also recently helped to start a group for Tampa Bay bloggers. We met up a couple of weeks ago and of course, I documented it for all to see. Such a fantastic group of women! We have many more meetups to come!

If I had to write a brief bio, and I guess I have to because Krystal told me to (who knew how these sponsor posts work??), I would say that I'm closer to 30 than 20 and I don't like it. I got accepted into Nursing school and then changed my mind so I'm trying to pursue a career in the non-profit world (it's way harder than I thought it'd be). But, I volunteer for the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay and for the Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue and I LOVE it. I currently work as a paralegal and love my boss, but I wish I loved the job. I'm doing a 14 Days of Valentines for the boyfriend and this pretty much describes my corniness. One of my resolutions was to comment on blogs more so if I follow you, or if you follow me and I follow back, expect to get a comment on almost every post.

I also love movies, going to dinner and nice walks on the beach. No, seriously, I do. I've been with the boyfriend for over 5 years and according to my mom's numerologist, he'll put a ring on it in 2012 and we'll have a girl and a boy out of the deal.

I'll take one of these, please.

In my free time, I'm with friends, trying new restaurants in the Tampa area for my food blog (where I also post recipes!), reading and updating my Goodreads, tweeting with the masses (or, the over 500 people I can't believe actually follow me...shhh a lot of them are spam), Pinning, and watching an insane amount of Food Network while simultaneously online window shopping (because I'm broke all the time). Oh, and I can't forget that I'm obsessed with all TV, especially "reality" shows, and I check into my GetGlue account on the regular. Speaking of TV, who is excited for The Walking Dead in less than a week?! I, for one, will be attempting to throw together a zombie-themed dinner for the boyfriend and I.

My #1 most viewed blog post is my post titled I Really Really Love Concerts. Basically, I worked for a radio station and was lucky enough to go, for free because I was working the event, to the Maroon 5/Train concert and it was one of my favorite concerts ever. Also, I think this is the most viewed because I show lots of nice Adam Levine pictures that I stole from the Internet. (Also explains why half of my traffic sources are from people Googling 'Adam Levine'- you're welcome, world.)

Won't you please join me and my amazing followers at my personal blog and my food blog? I'm pretty awesome- you'll see ;)
