The friends you may have had when you were younger, you often have grown apart from and have gone in different directions. And that is OK! It's a way of life, and it's all a part of growing up and living. Never discourage anyone from going down a different path than you are.

It's OK to stop and smell the roses and enjoy the journey you are on.

It is a stone that is utilized for strength, hope and happiness. It is great for generating energy and recharging, as well as balancing emotions.

Lucky October has two birthstones: the Opal and Pink Tourmaline! Each opal is very unique and can range in color. This is a stone of good luck and fortune, especially for those born in October .

Morning Rituals

If you wake up in a bad mood or feel overly exhausted, chances are you may have a little bit of a rough start to your day. Here are a few tips and things you can start to incorporate into your morning rituals to help you have a positive, uplifting and successful day. Don't hit that snooze button! This is procrastination at its finest! No need to start the day procrastinating. Make sure to have a glass of water on your nightstand. Drinking a glass of water right when you wake up will help your body start functioning for your busy day. Quick morning stretches either while you're still in bed or right when you get up. If you have the time for a workout, walk/run or yoga, do it, even if you have to get up a few minutes earlier. This will help give you some extra energy to last throughout the day. (This is one that I need to start implementing again!) Drink fruit infused or lemon water. It

Just Jenn Style: Zen Jenn

I'm so excited to be re-releasing Just Jenn Style with an all new spin. Welcome to Just Jenn Style: Zen Jenn ! The concept for Just Jenn Style began back in 2010 after I finished college. I talked mostly about fashion and style tips, tricks and trends for men and women until 2016.

Each day we are all working on becoming a better version of ourselves then the day before and that is exactly what Zen Jenn is all about. Zen Jenn talks about tips, experiences and positivity in a healthy, happy and holistic way. I'll talk about spirituality (think Law of Attraction), New Age and motivational practices that work for me. Hopefully one or two of them will  even work for you!
