Girlfriend

Slowly, but surely, I have started to like this girl Jenna Mourey who has become a famous YouTuber. Her videos get millions of hits. This is what she does for a living these days, uploading her thoughts on videos that make me laugh, but also leaves behind a message to think about. So I am dedicating this blog to a truly super cool, honest girl that I would buy a cocktail for and do a shot with on a weekend night if I ran into her. I would love to party with this girl!

My collaboration and comments on my favorite Jenna YouTube videos: 

Warning: Watch at your own discretion. Speaker has a potty mouth.

1. How a Diet Works

My thoughts and experiences on food comply 100% with hers. I love to see people keeping it real when it comes to our taste buds delicious seductions. I can go weeks being a fantastic eater, and then one day of splurging turns into a weekend of indulgence or sometimes a week....

2. What Disney Movies Taught Me

Her dramatized statements of Disney make their points. Well said Jenna! Disney is very much far removed from reality and I can remember some girls from my childhood that were unhealthily obsessed with this Prince Charming concept. *Rolls eyes*. Where was Jenna when I was a little girl?!!? *Hand to the forehead with a head tilt & sigh* The torture I had to endure by trying to fit in with my Disney Princess peers. No wonder I became such a good liar when I hit the teen years. I was already censoring myself as a kid! However, on a positive note, I will admit that I like Disney movies every once in awhile. Why? It is something that brought my siblings and I together. We would sing the songs, and dance, as well as imitate our favorite characters. I even have some Disney songs on my iPod. What can I say? We all keep some childhood in our lives.


3. Things Boys Don't Understand Part 1 & Things Boys Don't Understand Part 2

She actually changed my perspective on the whole getting ready to go out procedure. When she states, "It's like our Zen time" and how it is "half the fun of going out," I realized I had the wrong attitude about this getting ready procedure all these years! Impatient, ignorant boys were influencing my attitude towards being a girl. Thank you, Jenna and right on. Getting ready is absolutely fun. I have become more of a girlie girl these days. I used to have a stigma about girlie girls, viewing them as either the high maintenance catty/competitive type or the annoying beauty queen pageant obsessive type. Well, I certainly do not belong in either categories, and I love to get ready for events now! Whoever said, "Girls just wanna have fun" is absolutely right. If any part of my daily routine can be made fun, I am in!


4. Nice Guys Do NOT Finish Last

Might I add that through my own observations, the phrase "nice guys finish last" tends to be used by unconfident males. What confident male blames his nice personality as the reason he cannot date or keep a girl? C'mon. Jenna makes a valid point when she states, "What girl out there says, 'Gee, you know who I really don't like? Nice people!'" It is a definite cop out excuse to not take responsibility for their own personality defects or undesirable traits that repel women. For example, a guy who nicknamed himself Bubba (*rolling eyes*) hit on me for a few months when I was 18 years old, and he even said to my friend in front of me, "Why do girls keep looking for the right guy when a perfectly good man is right in front of her that would do anything to make her happy?" Ew. First of all, BUBBA, I think the name says it all. It tends to be really gross men like Bubba that make these overgeneralized statements about why they can't get girlfriends. My reason was simply the fact that he did not take care of himself very well and personal hygiene was not a priority for him. Eh, sorry, girls do not want to teach boys how to take care of themselves. That's what moms are for. Naturally, Jenna's opinions can be validated through my own personal experiences.

5. Lady Gaga

I do not even need to comment. I could not have done a better job impersonating one of the many delusional divas of this era.


I admire Jenna because she is honest to a fault. She is a fabulous example of not valuing first impressions. I love seeing it in action. One day, I hope to be able to speak my mind without having to feel guilty or insecure about it. The brainwashing of my past is has been slowly diminishing over the last several years. I take it one day at a time. A little dose of Jenna thoughts can easily brighten my day by reminding me to be myself and to love being me.
