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.
  • Alcohol:  I love wine and beer, especially red wine.
  • 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.    
  • Beverages:  I am addicted to coffee, and I love tea--especially chcai tea! Dunkin' Donuts is my favorite coffee.    
  • Birthday:  June 26    
  • Candles:  I am obsessed with candles! I prefer soy candles, though.    
  • Candy/food: Ooh what don't I love. I love to eat, and I have a very big sweet tooth!    
  • Clothing:  Let's see. I wear size small in shirts and a size 8 in shoes. I love cheesy t-shirts from random places :)    
  • Colors:  orange orange orange orange!!    
  • Décor:  I am constantly redecorating my home. I love eclectic, global style (think Pier 1 Imports), and I like earthy tones with kicks of color (like red, green, or orange)    
  • Garden/Outdoors:  I wish I was a gardener, but for now, I'll stick with a few houseplants and a birdfeeder. :) I do love nature though. I grew up in Colorado, and I love hiking, camping, etc.    
  • Hobbies: I love jigsaw puzzles, drawing, writing, and running.    
  • Gift Cards: Hmmm . . . I love Urban Outfitters, Gap, Pier 1 Imports, and TARGET!!!    
  • Jewelry:  I have pierced ears, and I love fun, dangly earrings. I also love big chunky necklaces and bracelets. I like both gold and silver.    
  • Kids:  None--I'm not married, but I do live with my boyfriend, who is in the Army.    
  • Kitchen:  I love cooking!! I'm always looking for new yummy recipes.    
  • Movies:  I love movies and collecting DVDs! I love all kinds--kids movies, thrillers, horrors, comedies, foreign, etc.    
  • Music:  I have an ipod, and I tend to just download songs. Lately I've been really into Spanish music.   
  • Pets:  I have one dog and two fishtanks. My dog's name is Storm, and she's a black (with some white) lab mix. We got her from the local animal shelter. 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.   
  • State:  I live in Alabama right now, but I am originally from Colorado. I've been in Alabama about 1 year, butI don't know how much longer I'll be here. (I moved here to be with my boyfriend, who is stationed here in the Army.)    
  • 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.
