    Before starting this blog post as I usually would, it’s important I say that black lives matter, and the murders of innocent people by police need to stop. I have left links below on ways you can help (these are all links I have personally donated to or signed petitions on). The time for change is now, and I hope you are able to speak up and support BLM in any way you can.

    Hey! Welcome to Jenna’s Day. A place where I, Jenna, talk about whatever I want. Today’s post is the fourth in my Monthly Favorites series. I’ve really enjoyed coming up with favorites every month and looking back at my old favs! FOOD & DRINK I have 2 things in the food and drink category this month. The first one is this amazing banana bread recipe that we’ve made and I am obsessed with. I have been more into cooking and baking since this whole “stay at home” thing, so I thought I would give this a try when I noticed there was no way I could finish 5 browning bananas…

    GRWM: QUARANTINE EDITION

    Hey! Welcome to Jenna’s Day. A place where I, Jenna, talk about whatever I want. Today’s post is actually in video form! Last weekend, Nate and I got ready to go nowhere and filmed the whole thing. You could say we are going a little crazy. Nate was a good sport and let me drag him into playing with makeup. Hope you all enjoy! Be sure to like the video and subscribe to my channel. Also, subscribe to my blog to be notified when new non-video blog posts go up! Thanks for clicking on Jenna’s Day 😊 P.S. Video below is us sorta trying this years ago. Enjoy and stay safe!

    Hey! Welcome to Jenna’s Day. A place where I, Jenna, talk about whatever I want. Today’s post is the third in my Monthly Favorites series. This post is coming a little late due to the self isolation/quarantine going on lately (don’t worry, this post won’t be about that), but I didn’t want to miss any months this whole year! My favorites this month are definitely a little different than usual, due to never leaving my house and going a little stir-crazy, but I want to be honest about what I’ve actually been loving. Food and Drink I have 2 very different items in this category this month. The first thing…

    Top 5 Favorite Vegetarian Trader Joe’s Items (peanut free too!)

    Hey! Welcome to Jenna’s Day.  A place where I, Jenna, talk about whatever I want.  Today’s post has been highly requested! I also know a few people trying to become vegetarian, so I thought this would be helpful. These are my top 5 vegetarian items at Trader Joe’s that you can actually make a meal with (because trust me, there are hundreds of snack items I could list here). I will try to link as many of these as I can so you can at least see what it looks like (update, I can only find a single one of these products online), or, if you don’t have a Trader…

    Hey! Welcome to Jenna’s Day. A place where I, Jenna, talk about whatever I want. Today’s post is the second in my monthly favorites series! I will be following the same format as last month (linked here) if you missed it! FOOD & DRINK This month I have been obsessed with oat milk. I love the brand Oatly the most and am really loving it in my vanilla lattes! Oat milk in general is a great vegan alternative to regular milk that tastes delicious and is not too expensive. I haven’t had regular milk (as in cow’s) in years and made the transition to almond milk a few years back,…

    My Weekly Sit Down

    Hey! Welcome to Jenna’s Day. A place where I, Jenna, talk about whatever I want.  Today’s post is going to be about something I’ve talked about here on my blog before: my weekly sit down. This consists of 3 things: meal planning/grocery list, weekend list, and a weekly look ahead.  MEAL PLANNING / GROCERY LIST This one is easy! Basically, you sit down with your partner, roommate, cat, what have you, and come up with some meals you would like to eat that week. My boyfriend (Nate) and I like to plan to cook 3-4 dinners a week, which is good for us because it allows us to have leftovers for…

    Hey! Welcome to Jenna’s Day.  A place where I, Jenna, talk about whatever I want.  So most of you reading this blog know me, but I thought “what about those who don’t?” I wanted to introduce myself and save it here on my blog as a way to learn a bit more about me, so with that, here’s 10 facts about me! 1.

    Hey! Welcome to Jenna’s Day. A place where I, Jenna, talk about whatever I want.  Today’s post is going to be the beginning of a new series I’m starting: monthly favorites! I love reading these posts about favorites and watching YouTube videos on them from others, and I’ve been wanting to share my own for some time now.  I’ve split up my favorites into categories (I got my inspiration from Blair Lamb – I love her and her site is linked here) and I will be following this format throughout 2020. I will do my best to link everything I can and will also be creating an Amazon favorites page so…
