About the Blogger

Hi there, I’m Jessica – the confidence-obsessed, fitness enthusiast, outdoor adventurer, and slightly preppy dresser behind Semi-Sweet Tooth!  I’m a past Chicagoan and past Cincinnatian that now lives between Chicago and Denver.  I grew up surrounded by powerful women, but it wasn’t until after college at Miami University (Go Redhawks!) that I learned that happiness comes from loving yourself and living life in blissful moderation, not from the number on the scale or the amount of cash in your bank account.

Fast forward to many years later, and I’ve grown to have a healthy relationship with food, I’ve harvested many relationships where we empower each other to be better people, I love my time in the gym, and I feel comfortable in my own skin.  It’s taken a long journey to get to this point, but I feel proud of every step I’ve taken along the way.

What You’ll Find on Semi-Sweet Tooth

I often preach that “a healthy life is a balanced life” and that’s what we explore on Semi-Sweet Tooth.  I absolutely believe that we can have it all… we just can’t have it all perfectly.

Over the years, I’ve learned that many of my issues stemmed from a lack of transparency – across the media, my relationships with others, and, at times, my relationship with myself.  Because of that, the primary focus of Semi-Sweet Tooth is on lessons in confidence that I learn throughout my daily life and simple life hacks that will help to make you the happiest and healthiest you yet!

In an effort for balance, I also include workouts that are easy to complete in a short period of time.  It is my belief that we don’t need to spend hours in the gym to get in a great workout, but that exercise and physical health are imperative to being the most confident, energetic individual you can be to spread light in this world.  With that in mind, all workouts shared can also be completed in an hour or less!

Lastly, you’ll also spot some personal posts surrounding favorite brands spreading the message of self-confidence and self-love, my adventures around the globe, incredibly simple/tasty recipes, my wedding, my divorce, my re-finding myself, and heartfelt posts about living a balanced life.  These are all shared with the intent of inspiration.

I can’t wait to create a great life with you!

      I took 3 years off and decided to start from scratch back in 2014. Glad you’re back in the community. 🙂
