A Day For Yourself And Your Best Babes

February 12, 2021

I filed this under Wellness because there’s nothing like taking an evening to celebrate yourself and your best babes.

I honestly never knew my friends and I were celebrating Galentine’s Day until I saw it mentioned in Cosmo years ago. I just assumed we were partaking in our annual girls night where we’d put on a fancy dress and drink champagne on, or around Valentine’s Day … as part of our love strike. I’m kidding!

No fancy dresses are actually required šŸ˜‰

So whether you’re taking some time to cheers to your damn self or to clink with your bests, here’s some things that’ll make your week even more fun. Oh and don’t forget, on the 15th chocolates go on sale babe! I call that retail therapy.

shop the post: https://jesslizama.com/valentines-day-gift-guide-for-her/

Enjoying a cozy night in? My Gift Guide For Her includes the coziest robe and the cheese platter you see here on my coffee table … piled high with cheeses, crackers, and chocolate. So call over the crew, make this spritzer here, and dance to the 80’s. And that’s what I call a top night!!!

Pink Margarita Spritzer

For you and your best babes here's a refreshing spritzer that you can enjoy with or without alcohol <3

Welcome! I’m Jess, I was a teen mom turned full-time lifestyle blogger and content creator. I started this blog about 8 years ago because I love sharing my life with you. Today, my daughter Corrine and I travel around sharing our foodie adventures and style selects. I talk about my mom life, the realness of relationships, the reality of having a 23 year old daughter (hey empty nest syndrome), and my work as a wellness Coach. We’ll cook together, cry together and sweat together. I’ll be your dessert enabler and fellow skincare addict. Let’s eat the good stuff and push through the rough stuff. Love, Mama Lizama <3

Love is love and here’s my story about Nashville Love is love and here’s my story about Nashville bc now is not the time to be silent and representation is everything

We celebrated Thanksgiving early so that @laceystonefitness and I could be in TN and in WI this week for a win win holiday situation. So here I was bringing my love Lacey home and while almost all of my family members were so incredibly warm and welcoming and loving (duh, plus they’re the only ones who actually matter) others refused to bring their children to our dinner and almost didn’t show up themselves bc, I dunno, they think being gay is contagious? Or perhaps they just wanted to ensure we weren’t being too ā€œgayā€ in front them? Whatever that means… Whatever their reasons, it’s infuriating and disrespectful. It’s hurtful and absolutely absurd. Bigotry. They’ll blame their religion, I blame their ignorance. Fear keeps them in the hate. 

My heart is heavy these days. The mass shooting at the LGBTQ club in Colorado was senseless. And are you paying attention to what’s happening in Iran? In the world? Please help me understand bc I feel hopeless.

What keeps me hopeful today and every day are the bright spots in the day. Lacey, Corriney, Quinny, my family, my friends, and you. This holiday season I am thankful for YOU reading this and for my nearest and dearest. Let’s spread more love in the world 

Love keeps you in the light. Let’s fight for the light. And for one another. #loveislove and I’ll fight for that with everything I am

My baby girl is 25 today. I cannot even comprehend My baby girl is 25 today. I cannot even comprehend time, what am I, 98?!

Corrine, I’m honored to be your mama. You’re my greatest accomplishment in life bc you are thriving and you are strong, resilient, funny, ambitious, successful, hilarious, empathetic, beautiful inside and out, and I would like to think I had something to do with that… Even though I had no idea what the hell I was doing, you took my hand (with your cutest lil baby hands) and trusted I’d get us through life and here we are still kickin’

I love you and I cannot wait to squeeze you this weekend and celebrate you and shower you with all the love I have. Happy birthday baby girl ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø

PS she still takes all my money and refers to it as ā€œpetty cashā€ 🫠

Swipe through for a flash back from today on through when it all started back in 1997

Now Wisconsin’s just showing off. Fall here is m Now Wisconsin’s just showing off. Fall here is magical and we had a wholesome af time with our girl @katierinkamkerealtor at the pumpkin patch and then @laceystonefitness carved Hank + Frank and we dropped them off at the town’s Halloween square where everyone contributes their works of art to the event and we visited them and listened to live music and apparently we’re beer lovers now and also @jess_lizama has acclimated bc it was in the 40’s and we were just all willy nilly boppin’ around the grounds in a single layer singing Hokey Pokey with the cutie goblins running around 

No punctuation needed bc if you were here that’s how we’d tell it šŸ˜†šŸŽƒšŸ„³

We made a pie! One that’s ā€œIG prettyā€ and on We made a pie! One that’s ā€œIG prettyā€ and one that’s ā€œReality fuggsā€. #FallVibes we went to a family owned apple orchard with our girl Katie and picked yummy apples like the farmers we are and made a homemade apple pie

It’s a 10/10 and I’ve decided I’m opening a dessert truck called Chamorro Treats and we’ll only serve dessert, musubi, and rice. Who wants to invest?

Sharing the recipe I got off @fooddotcom that got over 300 five ā­ļø reviews in my IGS and will save to my Wisconsin highlight. Make it and lmk what you think! *add a scoop or three of vanilla ice cream *chef’s kiss

PS I noticed that a store bought apple got into my apple bag when I did the staged roll out so don’t come for me

How dare I miss National Daughter’s Day… Thoug How dare I miss National Daughter’s Day… Though every day is a day to celebrate the fact that I’m a magical ass human being who created the most wonderful, witty, smart, compassionate, fashionable, beautiful human bean (yes bean) who God said ā€œcopy and paste but make ā€˜em betterā€ to. I love you my Corriney

Yes I’ve totally made this about me bc Aries mama, but if I’ve done anything worth anything in this life, single momming it and raising you to be a wonderful human who is straight handling business and THRIVING on your own… Well I can retire from human-ing now *takes a curtsy but like, makes it cute* You are my heart. And also my carbon copy ā¤ļø

PS can we just take a moment to celebrate these tiny baby hands! And also how your littles can be so entertained by a simple cardboard box or empty laundry basket… I’m not crying you’re crying
