Jessica
Founder & Chief Creative Ninja
My name is Jessica. I am a very tired Mommy of two really freaking cute, yet unpleasantly sassy (I have no idea where that came from) little girls. My 6 year old was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 12 months old, she is an amazing little being not to be held down by much of anything, she’s truly a rockstar. My 3 year old was born with 3 ventricular septal defects (holes in her heart) she is my sweet, sensitive cuddle bug, I will blog about them often. I am married to a sweet, loving, naive and very needy tech geek, his love language is touch (at least that’s what he tells me). I am a very sarcastic, often annoyed, perfectionist that enjoys making things pretty, renovating anything I can get my hands on and being at home (because I don’t like people much). I like root canals far more than I like mornings. No one is allowed to talk to me or make eye contact with me in the morning…unless they have a death wish.
I’m a Cali girl through and through, born and raised. I worked a full time job at 19 years old while putting myself through college where I graduated magna cum laude with an Associate’s degree in Fashion Design & Merchandising. I worked in the costume department of the hit TV show Without a Trace and worked in design and merchandising for Seven Jeans, Jessica Simpson, Harley Davidson, JC Penney and my own line of handbags. I’ve also been known to makeover people off the street, houses, yards, furniture, you name it I’ll dress it!
I am a stay-at-home/work-at-home Mommy. My family is my life, they come before anything else. I have chosen to work and continue learning and growing in my skill-set to show my girls that in addition to being a Mother (if that’s what they choose) they can add beauty and value to the world in so many other ways too. Women are powerful, powerful creatures when we allow ourselves to stop comparing, stop competing, let go of insecurities and embrace and apply the talents we’ve been given. This is something I’m currently working on mastering.
I hope, that you’ll come to Trend Proper to learn more about us, read our silly yet highly useful blogs and interact with us and I hope that after you do all of that you’ll feel inspired, happy and able to be ok with not being a perfect Mom, because none of us are!
