Cheetah print is back in trend my friends! I’m not sure if you are a animal print lover but  animal print is huge this fall. I’m so happy that October is here, because I get to decorate my entire house with spooky items. Now let me get back to my cheetah look that I’m currently loving for fall. This cheetah skirt from Reformation is super stylish and fits your body well. I think this skirt will sell out pretty quick so if you are a fan, make sure to purchase this skirt soon. Everyone needs some cheetah in their closet. It’s great to wear for work and after work as well.

Finally, I like how this adorable brown sweater from Chriselle Lim compliments this cheetah print and also goes well with denim. The color tone of the sweater is great because it goes  with all fall colors. Not sure how long animal print will stick around but let me know in the comments if you are a animal print lover. Thank you for stopping by!

Hello Friends,

I can’t believe that Summer is coming to an end! I’m super estatic for fall to finally arrive. One of my go to dresses that I wore a lot this summer was this casual stripe dress from Mango. It’s a comfortable dress that has a tie knot detail around the waist band, which is flattering. I really want to highlight how I love this basket pom pom bag that complemented the dress well. Everyone needs to have a fun bag in their closet. It’s great for a day out and after work as well.

Finally, I just want to thank all of you for following me through my blog or social media. I don’t think Uptown Fashion By Jess would still be here without you. So stay tune I will be having some great posts coming this fall. Thank you again!

Hello Friends,

My parents are from El Salvador and growing up in a household full of Salvadoran dishes was amazing. When I was in college I would just eat out everyday because I didn’t make time to cook. I was never really taught how to eat healthy until I grew up, and started to live on my own.

Living a healthy balance  life is the best way to go. I enjoy eating healthy but I also like to treat myself every now and then. I find that if you keep everything in moderation it is ok  to have a cookie, piece of cake or burger every once in a while. I always meal prep three days in advance in order to keep me on track. I like cooking lots of veggies, chicken, and my famous turkey meatballs to give you a couple of examples. I think if you eat one cookie is not bad but if you eat 5 cookies or more that’s when you break that moderation rule. Another example of finding a good balance in food is turkey bacon. It’s a bit more healthier than bacon which contains lots of bad fats.

I know that we all put pressure on ourselves to look a certain way. By living in today’s society with social media so prevalent, we focus on our weight and trying to be fit.  But in reality it’s all about feeling good with the way you feel. You don’t need to be super skinny to feel good. As for me I just want to feel great, gain muscle weight and eat the things I enjoy without feeling guilty. When we hear the word diet, the first thing that comes up in mind is salads, vegetables, no carbs and no sugar. But in reality what you need to know is eat smaller meals throughout the day.  By eating 5 to 6 meals  your metabolism will work faster and you burn more calories. Incorporate eating fiber, good fats, protein and greens in your daily meals, will help give you the results to have been wanting.

Lastly, you cannot forget to exercise 4 to 5 days a week which will help increase your energy to burn more calories throughout the week. You will be surprise how much energy you will have after you workout. Remember keeping  a good balance in your life style will have you feel wonderful. I hope you all enjoy this post! Thank you for stopping by!
