Jessica had to say...
Ever since I was a kid, I have LOVED reading. I'll read anything I can get my hands on--children's books, science fiction, murder mysteries, chick lit, the classics, non-fiction . . . you name it. :)
Info for Swaps:
For My Home
- I'm constantly trying to redecorate my home, so anything to make my house look and smell nice is great! In terms of style, think Pier 1 Imports. I'm pretty much obsessed with everything in that store. I'm also pretty big into feng shui and love fountains. I love soy candles, and I love lemongrass-scented things.
Food/Cooking
- I love to cook, but since I have a small kitchen, anything that helps me organize it is great (i.e. spice rack, shelf organizers). And I love to drink wine. We recently purchased a wine rack, but I don't have any other wine-related accessories. Finally, I love coffee and unique teas--I've always wanted a little individual teapot with matching cup.
Clothing/Jewelry
- Since I work from home, I am obsessed with comfortable clothing. I pretty much live in sweatpants, and I love fun t-shirts from random places. I could use a new pair of comfy slippers to wear around the home. I wear a size small in shirts and pants and size 8 in shoes. And I love jewelry, especially earrings.
Random
- I have a wonderful 1-year-old puppy named Storm. She's a 50 lb lab mix. I'm constantly looking for new ways to spoil her . . and to help train her.
- Every Sunday and Monday night, you will find me in front of the TV watching football. I am a HUGE Denver Broncos fan! I swear, I would paint my house orange and blue if my boyfriend would let me. :) But I pretty much love all sports in addition to football. I love watching hockey, soccer, and basketball. I also like to run, so anything related to running would be good, too!
And finally, here are a few of my favorite stores (which may help you get a better idea of what I like): Target, Pier 1 Imports, Ikea, Urban Outfitters, Cost Plus World Market
Diva Swaps (but this info really works for any swap):
- Air fresheners: i love air fresheners! I especially like the Method ones. I don't have any particular favorite scents, but I do love lemongrass! I do not own a scent lamp, but I have been wanting to buy one. I prefer more exotic, unique scents rather than floral ones.

- Allergies: None :)
- Bags: I love big purses! Especially orange, green and yellow ones!
- Bath and Body: I have way too many lotions than I can handle, but I love chapsticks and lip glosses. My favorite lotion/scent is the lemon from CO Bigelow at Bath &Body Works.

She's about 1 year old and she's the best thing in the world. I love her to pieces, and I definitely spoil her with treats and toys, which she is quick to tear to pieces haha :)
- Smoke: Nope, I don't smoke.
- Sports: I LOVE sports! I love to play soccer and basketball. I absolutely LOVE the Denver Broncos.

- Anything you can't find locally, but your buddy might be able to locate in her state: I love things from other states . . . mugs, bookmarks, soaps, etc.
- List of things you DISLIKE: I'm really easy to please. There isn't a lot I don't like.
