What You Should Be Watching | JennaDelRey

This month I've set out on a new mission to create more videos than I ever have. I kick-started things with my One Direction video, and if you haven't seen it yet, you can watch that here (yes I'm spamming you once again). Also, I've been tweeting a lot more from my JennaDelReyTV twitter, so if you want to check out my silliness I'll post a link here. Mostly I go off on fangirl type stuff and announce some updates.

Over the past week or two I've been moving into my new house at school so I haven't been totally YouTube active, but I'm trying my best. I posted two new videos on my channel; a Red Lip Makeup Tutorial and a small August Favorites, so you should totally check those out!!! (:

If you enjoyed these videos at all PLEASE don't forget to subscribe, like the videos, and leave me a comment telling me what you want to see next or what you'd rather see! 

I really hope you check these out and enjoy them! (:

Walking Around Gloucester, MA

In my family, Summer Sundays are meant for local adventures. Whether that entails trying out a new restaurant, or walking around a city we've never visited. Recently I took a trip to Gloucester, MA; a quaint, seaside town known for it's fishing and boating industries (The Perfect Storm, anyone?)

We decided to take a little day trip to have lunch and walk around the beach area. We also couldn't resist stopping in at local record stores, book stores, and for some ice cream!

Of course, I forgot to bring a camera, but I did get some snaps of the water area!

YouTube | One Direction & 5SOS Concert Vlog!!!

So if you read my last post, you'd know that two weeks ago I went to the One Direction / 5 Seconds of Summer show in Boston (Foxboro, MA) on both Thursday and Saturday (8/7/14 and 8/9/14).

While I was there, I managed to get A LOT of clips from the show. It kind of, almost, sort of, feels like you could have been there. 

Without further interruption... this is the YouTube video I made with both clips from 5SOS and 1D's sets! Enjoy (:

If you went to either of the two shows I did, what was you're favorite part?
Who do you ship yourself with?
I ship Jiam and Ashtenna. No shame.

ONE DIRECTION!!! (8/7/14-8/9/14)

As soon as One Direction announced the Where We Are Tour dates last year, I knew I had to make an appearance. I guess I never really knew how much I loved them until I saw them live. And let me tell you; the Thursday night concert was so amazing, it turned into an obsession. I've been to a lot of concerts in my day, and boy bands are no exception (I've seen N*SYNC and the Backstreet Boys countless times). But not even the greats could rival the 1D boys. They put on a SHOW, and I can't remember the last time I've had so much fun at a concert. 

The boys were fantastic, they sounded great, the show was incredible, and they (of course) looked delicious. I loved them so much in fact, that my best friend and I decided to buy floor tickets to the Saturday night show as well! I'm 99.9% sure Liam Payne winked at me *swoon*. No shame in my game. I'm a 20 year old who still has a serious boy band obsession. 

Now let's talk about 5SOS... I hadn't heard too much about them, but sometime in the beginning of the year I heard "She Looks So Perfect" and I fell absolutely in love. Sure they're young, and they still have some growing up to do, but I 100% believe they are going to be huge. They co-write music with All Time Low, a band I loved in middle school (which makes them that much better) AND play all of their own instruments AND all have great voices. I mean...really?! That still exists?! Plus they're also absolutely adorable, which helps. 

Hey Ashton Irwin, I'm available ;)

DIY | Flash Tats

Nail color: Essie's Topless & Barefoot (new obsession)

I've been seeing these babies all over the blogosphere lately and only one thought popped into my head; I NEED THEM. Of course, I quickly went online to purchase a package for myself...and then I saw the price tag. Although $22 may seem somewhat reasonable for 4 sheets of these beautiful tattoos, I knew they wouldn't last long in my house. Since the tattoos only last for 1 week, I wanted to come up with an alternative that would allow me to create whatever I want, whenever I want.

I was walking into my room this morning and noticed a couple of sharpies from an old DIY project laying on my desk; one silver, one gold. A lightbulb switched on inside my head as I found my solution.

I've tried to tattoo myself in the past with metallic sharpies and they never seemed to come out very shiny, or how I pictured they would in my head. These sharpies differ in that they are essentially paint pens, of the "heavy duty" variety (I last used them to write on glass). The markers are oil-based paint pens in the colors metallic gold and metallic silver. You can get them at any local craft store, or you can buy the set of two from amazon for only $9 (the best deal IMO).

Now, I'm not advocating the use of sharpies on skin, as I imagine they can't be that good for you. But, I can recommend this alternative if you don't have sensitive skin and you want a temporary flash tat for a fraction of the cost!

Hump Day Jams

I know what you're thinking....stop that!

A lot of people ask me about my taste in music, and what I would recommend them to listen to. That being said, I've decided to start a new(ish) segment on my blog where I'll post some of my favorite jams.

If you've seen my other post, I created a playlist via 8tracks highlighting some of my favorite Spring deep house tracks. Since we're approaching the warmest weather of the season, I thought I'd make a chill, beach-inspired mix. 

Coincidentally, two of the tracks on this mix are titled "Waves" so it's only right that I entitled my playlist "waavves".

Hope you enjoy these tracks, let me know what you think!

Happy (Fifth?) of July!

I've been meaning to get a post up for quite a number of days, but this weekend has taken busy to a whole new level. Cookouts, fireworks, family and friends consumed my time and I'm 110% okay with that.

Living in New England has it's ups, and it has it's downs. Weather would most definitely be on the downside of things. You couldn't predict the weather here even if it hit you between the eyes (literally). Unfortunately, everyone's 4th of July plans were cancelled or postponed on Friday due to hurricane Arthur. While I didn't have the most exciting of holidays, I was able to spend some quality family time, which took the edge off of my severe cabin fever.

Our family friend's annual clamboil had to be postponed until Saturday, which thankfully turned out to be the most beautiful day; around 81 and sunny with NO humidity (rare for this time of year). We had some coney island hotdogs, pulled pork, and some sangria (almost all-American). After a day of full bellies and fun, we went down to Battleship Cove and watched our city's firework display and so concludes our perfect 5th of July.
