Don’t start feeling yourself too much once you accomplish new goals. Always stay grounded. Always.
I’m not depressed…just not rich.
I decided in May 2018 that I could no longer live with either of my parents. I love them to pieces, but I love my peace of mind more. I saved the money I earned from my internship over the summer and added that to the financial aid I received from school and made the […]
Would You Wear Your Natural Hair in an Interview or Professional Headshot?
It is 2018 and the debate about what is considered to be “good” hair in the Black community has since died down a tad. Natural hair from texture 1A (idk if this is even a thing lol) to texture 4Z (or this lol, I’m just dramatic) has been embraced by black women all over social […]
Ok, I Have a Degree, So What’s Up?!
Is there a time limit on referring to the stage in your life after you graduate from undergrad as “post-grad”? I’m sure people are tired of hearing about the after college blues, but those people can just write us all a check to cover the cost of our loans! Cool? Cool. I graduated from college […]
True Life: I work at a domestic violence agency
Let’s face it. Domestic violence isn’t a pretty topic, so I understand why I get some of those reactions. If I could describe to you what working at the agency was like the easiest way would be to imagine living in a LifeTime Movie. Seriously, the things I read and the stories I hear from our clients are nothing that anyone would imagine to be real life. It is real life, and it is their life.
Not Your Regular Fancy Evening At An Art Gallery
I was invited to an event on Friday evening (June 29, 2018). Me being a blogger was the basis of my invite (moving on up in this world!) so I could not turn down the opportunity. As I parked my car I became slightly annoyed with myself because I had not researched the speaker before […]
My Favorite Blogger
Originally posted on StyleCare:
When I first began blogging, I had no idea where to start. I knew what kind of blog I desired to create, but I had no clue where to go and create it. I began going to media social media accounts (twitter and instagram) looking for inspiration. I came across a…
The Awkward Moment When: You’ve Finished Your 1L Year, But You Don’t Know if You’ve Made the Cut
Classes officially ended for my first year of law school on May 10th. At this point, I’m excited for two reasons: 1. I don’t have to look at a casebook for about two whole months 2. I start my internship at a domestic violence agency. That’s all fine and dandy, but let’s be real, I […]
The Internship Struggle is REAL
Hello all! I have some really exciting news to share. I’m a firm believer in keeping to myself when I’m not feeling so positive, simply because I don’t want to spread bad vibes. In the wake of my recent good news, I am now ready to give you guys an update on this gruesome process […]
My Mom is PISSED: I cut my sister’s hair (:
I am laughing as I write this post, and you would be too if you knew my mom. The best way to describe her is old fashioned. My hair history says more about her than a description!! My hair was permed when I was 3 years old. I got perms every two weeks. All my […]

The BEST $24 I have spent in 2018
WEEEWOOO WEEEEWOOOO *shouts* #NEWWIGALERT Everyone, I have a very important announcement to make. I have unlocked the world of synthetic wigs! I love wigs, I don’t talk about them much on my blog, but that will change. Why? Because Jaylining is all about “Life. Law. Things I Love,” and wigs falls into the “Things I Love” category. […]
How To: Do what you want in a world where people tell you not to do something because “everyone” is doing it.
Hey everyone, thanks for reading! I’m writing this post because I’m annoyed, and I feel like I may not be the only one. Call me “Sensitive Sally,” actually I would prefer “Passionate Penny,” but either way, my sensitivity/passion is what lead me to be a blogger. There is a real talent in being able to […]
#MeetBikeEat + Photo Worthy Food: Drunken Chicken
I’m super dooper (duper?) excited to tell you guys about my weekend. When it comes to “Jaylining,” I’ve been at this thing for about 22 years, but in all of my years, I have never had an excuse to throw on my moto-jacket and actually ride a bike! (The smallest things excite me as you can […]
Photo Worthy Food: Yachea Gogi Panini
Who doesn’t love a good panini? The crispiness of the bread gets me every time! I’m also always up to try a new veggie restaurant, so I found myself at The Doshi House in the heart of Third Ward, Houston, Texas. If any of you are ever in the area I highly recommend you check […]
Photo Worthy Food: Brussels Sprout Super Salad
All I have to say is Timmy Turner from the Fairly Odd Parents had me and many other millineals in denial! I have woken up and smelled the veggies. Brussels sprouts are amazing when cooked and seasoned properly. However, this was my very first time eating them in salad form. I have clearly been missing […]
Second Semester: 1L Year
Today is Friday….the last Friday of Christmas break…and the first Friday of 2018!!! The semester starts on Monday! I’m excited actually. Well, law school is not fun at all so I’m not actually excited about that. What I am excited about is the fact that I believe that I’ve had enough downtime, I’ve met with […]
2017 Was…Ummmm…Lol
It is December 31st, 2017 10:16 pm and I am writing a blog post. Funny because I went through the trouble of finding an outfit, RSVPing for a party, washing my hair…all to decide that I’m just not feeling it lol. So, here we are! Hey, yall and thanks so much for reading! I wanted […]
End of the Year Evaluations
Alright yall, the new year is HERE! Don’t panic. I’m not into panicking, and you shouldn’t be either…Whether you read this tonight or tomorrow on January 1st, I want you to do two things: 1. Congratulate yourself! I would say now is a good time to not only set new goals for yourself but to also pat […]
Decision Making and Deciding to do it Differently.
As the new year approaches, I think now is a good time to highlight some areas I want to improve. Maybe you guys can relate or provide feedback, either is great! Ok, here we go… As of recently, my life has changed. I have a lot more alone time post-undergrad. I’m starting to feel the […]
The TRUTH About Law School:
Hey y’all! Thanks for reading! I didn’t title this post, “The TRUTH About Law School” to imply that everything you have been told about law school is a lie. My reasoning is solely based on my OWN false realities. I think I am finally getting into a groove of my own, and I am ready […]
I don’t think I want to share my New Year goals with anyone.
No offense but, yea. I’m leaning towards privacy for a couple of reasons: The reasons I have listed below have come as a result of me realizing things about myself, and not from anything that someone has done to me specifically. I’m just interested in the outcome. For me, sharing goals creates unnecessary added pressure. […]
True Life: I’m just not feeling it
I’m not. I’m just not. Feeling, IT. I’m sure now would be a good time to identify what “it” is….and no I’m not talking about the clown. That’s the thing! I don’t truly know what “it” is. There are so many things I’m not thrilled about in my life, and I just want to know […]
I’ve Experienced the HBCU Hype! #HomecomingSZN
The best time of year besides May is between the months of October and January! I love holidays. I love quality time. I love the spirit above all things. It’s like these months were made for bringing you and those you love closer together. The holidays are near, but right now…it is HomecomingSZN. This is the […]
