Jess gets a new home!

SURPRISE! 

I’ve wanted to give the blog a little face-lift for some time now. And then I saw Blogmilk’s designs and felt it was fate. What a more fitting way to celebrate one year of blogging?!

I have decided to go for WordPress self-hosting, which allows for much more freedom and easy navigation. A sneak-peak of the new layout is pictured above but please CLICK HERE to be transferred to the new site! For those who have subscribed, I am afraid you will have to do so again, however, I promise to have lots of fun content posted in the coming days to make it well worth your while.

As an extra bonus, I have just posted a special Super, Pretty, Funny (Tuesday-edition) to the new site so please go check it out!

Its been fun, WordPress.com but I am rather excited for the big(ger) leagues.

Over and out,

x J

What I do when trying to fill time

The start to this week has been unexpectedly busy but THINGS ARE HAPPENING!*

More on that later.

In the meantime, do what I do when I am trying to fill time and watch some Simon’s Cat – the Christmas version.

(Many thanks, Ms. Hammes, for reminding me how great these clips are.)

*Quoting the great Liz Lemon. Have you watched 30 Rock lately? When did this awesomeness happen??
