Hi! You’ve reached my (beloved) former blog. Come find me & my current work at JessieRosen.com
I am fine at many things, good at a handful more and great at just a few but there is one category in which I am second to none (but R, but I now consider us one for the sake of me being the best at this thing) and that is touring people around Los Angeles. Over the past 31 days I have had not …
via NY Times You’re in luck because this Monday post was supposed to be about my very deep thoughts on choosing to get married (in light of a busy weekend with Mom attending to things like ceremony valance fabric), but then I read an article that got me all revved up, so I’ll shelve that heavy hitter for a hump day post. Yesterday’s The New …
I like to think that I’m very good at being an adult. I make my bed and with the perfect amount of accent pillows. I know just what to get everyone on my holiday gifting list. I use an under eye cream at night, take a vitamin C pill every morning, and never drink before noon on the weekdays. And yet there are area of …
Oh man are you going to be excited slash weirded out when you see how those two topics come together! PART ONE: Last Thursday I joined my friend Ben at the co-working space where he spends his days. Ben runs his own company and, like many entrepreneurial 2.0 types, realized that he needed a place to focus on his to-dos and and bring his new …
As you now know from the last time I recapped the show, I run a monthly storytelling show called SUNDAY NIGHT SEX TALKS at Bar Lubitsch in West Hollywood. Think of it like The Moth, except all the topics have to do with sex, love and relationships. This month’s edition of the series recaps lessons learned during our 2nd Birthday Bash! I’m proud to say …
via Jezebel I planned to write a whole post today about how disappointed, disillusioned and confused I am by our government. I was going to explain how infuriating it is to seek out honest answers about what’s going in Washington from multiple sources and still have no sense of the truth. I try to keep politics off this blog, but I am so sad and …
I heard a fascinating bit of information yesterday, third handedly, but still. R was talking to an actress friend (hi Myra!) who was referencing her daughter (hi daughter!) who has this amazing theory about dating. Her claim: that at the 45 minute mark of any given date, you’ll know if it’s a pass or a fail. Now there’s two degrees of Kevin Bacon between this …
This post was born out of the 45 minutes I recently spent trying to get my newly straight hair (it literally just went straight after 29.5 years of being curly!!!) to curl properly using one of those curling rods every 12-year-old on YouTube seems to have mastered. Enjoy! The Top 10 Things I (Apparently) Still Need To Remind Myself …at 30 Years of Age 10. …
First, I want to thank all of you who reached out to say, “hell yes! buy that church!” and next, I want to ask you for between one and fifty thousand dollars. Unless one of you has a spare million, in which case I’ll take that, and the rest of you can stand down until phase two of the project. It has been one week …
Three years ago on October 2nd R convinced me that he should be my boyfriend. You can read more about how that all went down, but just know that I didn’t say okay because he was right (which, of course he was). I said okay because he knew what he wanted and didn’t have time for games (which is still his MO when it comes …
