Fresh Faced: Uplift the Eyes
/With a new year comes a new fresher desire to edge up and spice up your look. Some ladies have lashes for days that they like to play up, or an angled bone structure they enjoy contouring. For me, I thought I'd play up my overall face. I'm nowhere close to being a professional on beauty and makeup, but here are some newfound techniques I thought I would share to the world. I am well versed in the get ready in 15-minutes type of routine and these steps are completely possible to create in that time slot.
What's key for me is to always wash my face if not twice than at least once a day, keep it moisturized and glowing. Having just stepped off the plane from tanning in Hawaii, the tan will eventually fade. So in order to rejuvenate that natural glow, I play off with concealer, bronzer, blush and my brows.
Concealing below my eyes goes a long way. This step can literally transform your entire face from looking drab and tired to positively awake! Top that off with an all-over bronzer to blend. Personally, I enjoy a nice bronzed glow and in some ways, helps by adding to that awakened effect. Blush, if used correctly can add another dynamic layer by giving you that dewey look. Bam!

As for brows, lining in my brows is a very new thing. It transforms the shape of my face while continuing to uplift my eyes. Finding the right shade is a whole other challenge. This is just my two cents on how I get to look presentable for the day.

Summer Style Recap w/Emilee Goo
/In the season of endless peaches and cherries comes opportune moments to dress for those hot summer days. Every morning is a different challenge to dress depending on my mood. Sometimes I'm feeling preppy with a pop of pastel and other times I feel like mixing and matching my prints. Some may say it's a fashion faux pax to mix florals with stripes or even stripes and animal prints, but I like to take advantage of a mix not usually taken. Usually, I pick one piece of clothing i want to wear for that day and choose the other pieces along the way to somehow match in a somewhat functional outfit for either work or play.
Though, some Summer days in San Francisco, my hometown aren't the most sunniest of days, there are ways to bring a little bit of brightness by adding a pop of color. For example, I paired an orange Splendid tank with my go-to army green/leather sleeved Zara jacket and some black yoga pants to the recent music festival in SF, Outside Lands.
And lastly, of course you need some funky shades to protect from the sun rays. I found a stellar steal on these sunnies at free people.
is another pair currently online.
Happy Summer Days my friends!

Life as Creative Director of TEDxUofW (Contributor Post)
/*Please meet Emilee Goo, my fifth and final new contributor to Fresh Jess! Emilee will wax poetic on Seattle, travel, college life and more. She recently served as creative director for the TEDxUofW conference. Read on to see what her experience was like, and peep her bio at the end of this post. Enjoy!

A week ago, a student organization I'm a part of, TEDxUofW, hosted our second annual event on the University of Washington campus here in Seattle. It was without a doubt one of the most inspirational days to have come out of this campus. I wish more students could have attended. We heard from nine speakers all with varied backgrounds and stories to tell, some of which were current undergraduates, faculty and alumni. Somehow everyone was connected not only to this fine establishment but for a bigger and brighter cause. To purely spread ideas worth knowing. The entire concept behind TED itself is "Ideas worth spreading". It seems so simple yet so empowering and can really go beyond your imagination and yourself.
Being a part of this opportunity and taking on the creative director position has made this entire rollercoaster of an experience worthwhile. It truly astonishes me how incredibly smart young people can be. Three years into my undergrad career, I've realized the capacity we, the young and creative "potentials" have from turning someone's day through random acts of kindness like buying a random person a coffee, creating an ingenious organization to better your community or why not, just create a start-up out of your 10x10 square foot dorm room. Having surrounded myself with such positive and bright people has made me realize how incredibly blessed I am to have what I do have.
Days before the event, while talking with some friends on our way to pick up some last minute items at my favorite store (Costco), it hit me how we were able to hustle our asses off in putting together this event. With a hardcore group of rad people, we collectively came up with sponsors, speakers, our own website, the aesthetics of the room, the center piece cut outs, the lighting, the audio, the video and even the swag bags. We, us measely ol' students, had the capacity to truly accomplish such an amazing day to spread ideas worth knowing.
