LIFESTYLE
I realize this blog has a lot to do with the phyiscal spaces we lives in but my life is full of so much more than that. In fact, that's only a tiny sliver of Jordan Jean and this slice of the internet! There's so many other areas that spark joy in my life and my hope is that through these posts you'll feel that joy too. I'm a relentless believer, constantly striving to give up all control to the only One deserving. I do my best to saturate intention into my time and anything I buy, wear, use, and bring into our home. I love me a good sweat and run a marathon from time to time to get one state closer to my ultimate goal of... 50. Oh, and I am a sucker for weddings. Don't worry though, there's more. Dive in below!
HAIR + MAKE UP
In August of last year I shared my curly girl routine HERE that I had been using for about 6 months at that point. It was a very long and detailed post with a video included so if you’re just getting started with your own curly girl journey, I suggest starting there! In the months […]

Hi! Something that I learned quickly on this curly girl journey is that updos are a curly girl’s BFF. I couldn’t make it through day 3ish-5 or 6 without them! I figured that what I’d do is create this vault of sorts where I’ll share all of my updos with you all so that they […]

Hi friends! I’m not kidding when I say “every single detail about my skincare routine” will be in this post. You’ve asked and asked and asked so you shall receive! I’m about to share it ALL with you and why my face looks the way it looks. Okay pause. It feels foolish to even say […]
August 21, 2019
The wait is over! The curly girl post if here!!!! If you’re wondering what in the hey Adams I’m talking about, today I’m going to share how I went from this to this (forgive me for not taking better photos! These are from my Instagram stories. I need to be better about documenting all of […]

Happy Thursday, friends! Today we’re talking every day makeup essentials. I’m not going to go into the HOW just yet (don’t worry, it’s on the schedule) but I am going to start by sharing the products I use every single morning before I go to work in case you want to try some of these yourself. […]

Happy Friday! This week has been filled with lots of writing, a few headaches, and a lot of “adulting”. Oh boy… Nothing is finalized yet so we aren’t ready to share but I will say that big things are happening for the Tupta’s right now! We will definitely update you all down the road! Anyway, […]

I have a feeling this series is going to be one of my favorites. I really enjoy reflecting back on my week and highlighting all of the moments and things that brought joy to my life. Hurricane Harvey While this isn’t something that screams happiness and certainly not a favorite of mine, I think it’s […]
September 1, 2017
I’m so excited to be writing this post. This is something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time and am finally getting started on it! Friday favorites! I have so many things that I love throughout the days/weeks that go unshared. Usually it’s just a thought to myself or maybe it’s a quick […]

Happy Saturday! This is something a bit different today but it has been requested by so many people so I’m happy to finally be writing this! I do want to warn you though, I’m still trying to figure out how to take pictures of the back of my head (it’s a lot harder than I […]
July 30, 2016
It’s time for round 2! This time I’m going to focus on keeping my hair “styled” aka not the wavy/curly creature that tends to come alive on my head. I will continue using Bastiste Dry Shampoo when I need it and of course, I will tell you when that is. This week I will be doing slightly less […]
December 7, 2015
Good morning! I’ve been told so many times and read all over that washing your hair frequently is a bad, bad thing to do. I started to do some research on the topic and realized that there is no clear recommendation. Everything pretty much says, “It depends on the hair type, person’s preference, etc.” Of […]

Something I didn’t expect to battle with postpartum is having such a hard time getting dressed. It’s such a minor thing in the grand scheme of life, I know, but it’s just one more thing to add onto the rest of the giant list that I’ve experienced and thought, “Well shoot. Mamahood is hard!” I […]
March 18, 2021
It all started with a pair of shoes that I’ve been eyeing for over a year. Yes, you heard that right… Over a year. I knew that I would get a lot of use out of them in the warmer months but by the time I could work them into the budget, they were out […]

This post is sponsored by Fawn Design. However, all opinions shared on jordanjean.com are always my own. One item in particular that I know mamas-to-be can get wrapped up researching is diaper bags.

After a week of interacting with you all on Instagram and here on the blog, I love to cap off Friday by sharing with you my recent favorites! These are things that I’m absolutely loving (and most likely have used/read/watched/done well more than once throughout the week!). Let’s jump right into it with… THESE BOOTS! […]
February 14, 2020
Happy Friday! I’m back to capping off the week with all the things that brought me some extra joy! Let’s get into this! Maroon Sweater Tank – I got this last week because I know it’ll be a staple for me through the fall and winter seasons. Even the spring too! It’s so versatile! I […]
August 23, 2019
Happy Friday! I’m more happy than normal that we’re here today. This week for some reason I haven’t been able to keep the days straight. I even had to look at my phone yesterday to figure out what day it was because I swore it was Wednesday… That’s pretty bad. With the combination of running a […]

Hi! Happy Saturday! I know I don’t typically post on the weekend but with all of the craziness this week I haven’t had the chance to get this post out. Since fall is on the horizon I think it’s time we start talking about fall capsule wardrobes! If you’re new to capsule wardrobes, you can […]
September 15, 2018
Happy Friday! If you haven’t read this post in which I shared the why, what, & how behind my capsule wardrobe, do that first! This post will make much more sense if you do. Even though we’re creeping into fall, I wanted to make sure to share this with you all so that you could get […]
August 10, 2018
This past spring Stephen and I decided to try out a capsule wardrobe for the summer. Before we went out and purchased anything though, we knew we had to go through a massive purge of our closet (more on that later!) to determine what we already owned that we wanted to keep in our capsules. It was emotionally exhausting, […]

Happy Monday! I hope you all are having a great day so far! We have an exciting project going on around the house that we started this weekend! I showed part of it in my Instagram post today if you haven’t checked it out. 🙂 I hope to get it all sanded, painted and touched up by […]

Easter Sunday is quickly approaching! Questions have been popping up in my messages about what to wear so I thought it might be helpful to share some budget friendly Easter outfits. Most of us use this joyous day as a great excuse to don our Sunday best and rightfully so! It is a glorious day of celebration! He is […]

Happy Saturday! It feels very surreal writing this post. I remember when I was 21 and would talk about life in the next few years like it was so far away. At the time it sure did feel that way but MAN does life fly by or what?! “They” say that it goes by even […]

Happy Tuesday! I’m going to preface this by saying that I was a really “bad blogger” this weekend and didn’t manage to get out during the day (when it wasn’t raining) to get a picture of my outfit so I’m super sorry! I’ve had so many questions about it since I posted on Instagram that I figured […]

AIR FORCE
I’ve been itching (and praying) for the time when I could share write this post and here we are. If you’ve been keeping up with my (almost) weekly letters or the little blurbs I’ve shared on my Instagram, you know we’ve had a lot going on in our family with my brother. If you have […]

Two weeks ago tomorrow, Stephen and I were sleeping in the house I grew up in when I awoke to multiple messages (mostly from friends stationed or deployed across the globe) asking if Stephen was okay. “Yeah, he’s was sleeping right next to me, what’s up?” I quickly learned that there had been a fatal […]

MISS-ISS-IPPI! Ohhhh baby here we go. We’re headed (back) to Columbus, MS. Stephen was stationed in Columbus for two years while completing UPT (pilot training) and IFF (the training pilots go through once they find out they’ll be flying a fighter) at the start of his pilot career. We actually got engaged there during one […]

Last week I was interviewed for a podcast titled, “Faith, Family, and The Force”. AnnaBeth and Oliver, the creators of the podcast, had a dream of having a radio show someday and realized “Hey! It’s 2018! We can do this now!” so they did. YOU GUYS! After listening to all of the episodes, I couldn’t help […]

FINANCES
Hey guys! Today we’re sharing habits that we suggest creating when trying to use a budget, resources to use on your financial freedom journey, and some frequently asked questions. If you haven’t watched the first two videos of the series, we suggest you start by watching those first! Our Debt Journey + How we got […]

Happy Monday! Today we’re going to be sharing with you all how we create a budget using the (free) Every Dollar app. If you haven’t watched our first video on why we use a budget, how we got out of debt, etc. we suggest watching that one first before moving onto today’s video. In case […]
April 6, 2020
I’m so excited to be sharing this video (and series!) with you all! A few years ago after we got married and acquired debt, we started learning a lot about money and how life changing it can be to achieve financial freedom. We’ve become so passionate about it! Since we started sharing tidbits of that […]
April 2, 2020
Woof. This post is one that I can’t believe I’m writing. You might’ve noticed that in that past month+ or so, I’ve been pretty quiet on here. There has been a LOT happening behind the scenes, a lot in the works, and it’s finally time to share some of it with you guys! Before I […]
April 18, 2019
We are so excited to be finally sharing this post with you all! Since we started following Dave Ramsey’s teachings we’ve sworn by a budget. Having a budget has helped us tremendously, with and without debt. We know even the word ‘budget’ itself can sound pretty intimidating but we’re here to tell you that it […]

A couple of days ago I mentioned in my stories that we’re currently living on one income. I suppose it was a cliff hanger of sorts. I really just wanted to save all of the details for this little blog of mine so I could fully explain why we’re living this way. We are DINKs […]

Happy Wednesday, friends! I’m sorry I’ve been a bit MIA this week. I’ve been working hard to complete some in-progress projects on the house this week. I’m hoping that I get at least one of them done tomorrow! Fingers crossed… Last week we did a giveaway on Instagram with three copies of “Total Money Makeover”. […]

When you think about how to spend your money what do you think about? Other than the necessities like food and your rent/mortgage and utilities, where can you put your money so that it will leave you feeling satisfied? Should it be used to buy things that you like, or to go somewhere and experience […]
April 18, 2018
We talked about how we paid off our new car here but there’s so much more we can say about our thoughts on money. So before we dive into budgeting later on this week, we want to lay it all out here and share these thoughts. This hopefully will provide a better understanding as to […]
April 11, 2018
A couple of months ago Dave Ramsey shared one of my posts that I had shared on Instagram about us paying off our new car. It brought a lot of you here which I’m so incredibly thankful for and it also brought along a lot of questions, the most popular of them all – How […]
April 3, 2018
The other day when I asked if a Q&A would be something you all were interested in, I immediately received a bunch of money related questions for both me and Stephen. To be honest this wasn’t on the schedule to post for a couple of weeks but I think these questions are fantastic and should take […]

Weddings can be expensive. The word expensive being subjective of course. To a millionaire, $50,000 probably doesn’t seem like a lot for a wedding but to me, that’s a heck of a lot of money to spend on one day! Don’t get me wrong, it’s arguably one of the most important days of your life […]

Oh baby! This post is going to be chock-full of information about visiting Disney at this time of the year (we went November 9-14), military discount information, what we would and definitely wouldn’t do next time, and even what I would suggest wearing. I’ll cut the chatter. Let’s get into this. Military Information If you […]

Our best friends are getting married in less than two weeks now! We are especially overjoyed for them because this has been a long time coming.

Hi! Over Memorial Day weekend this year we went camping in Asheville to celebrate our anniversary and Stephen’s birthday. The week leading up to it had been tough for us (you can read about that HERE) so we figured we’d get off the grid and spend some quality time together. Asheville, NC is only about […]

About a month ago we were fortunate to go on a weeklong cruise. Our family has a tradition of going on one of these adventures anytime someone in the family graduates. My brother graduated with his Master’s in December (WOO JOHN! I’m so proud of you Bubba!) so we all hopped on a giant boat […]

This past weekend, Stephen, Adi and I finally got to see the Grand Canyon. We’ve been talking about this trip since we moved to Arizona and it has been on the calendar for months now. If you ever have the chance to live in Arizona or just be here for that matter, it is definitely […]

Continuing on from part one of our San Diego trip, part two is filled with delicious food, seals, and the best part, donuts. Sunday: Sunday morning we went to breakfast with our friends and their sweet little baby, Lorelei. I love that little girl so much. Anyway, on Orange Blvd in Coronado there are so […]

I can’t quite wrap my head around the fact that it’s already August 31. Summer is practically gone but there are two really exciting things about that… 1. FOOTBALL!!!!!! The Hokies play WVU this Saturday and we’re so stinking excited. 2. Fall is in 22 days. TWENTY TWO DAYS! Time to break out the pumpkin […]

Happy Monday and CHRISTMAS WEEK! Can you believe it’s only 6 days away? Holy camoly, Batman! It feels like it was just the fourth of July! This past weekend I went to our dear friend’s wedding in Knoxville, Tennessee. [Ex] Roommate Caroline joined me in Kentucky before we started our drive and since we knew we were going to be driving […]

Hi everyone! I’ve been some what “off the grid” the past couple of weeks because my poor little iPhone drowned from some condensation in a cooler… Through my LifeProof… I’m not salty at all… I still might be kind of bitter about the whole situation but as always, the phrase “everything happens for a reason” has never […]

We have been traveling a lot lately but just recently we took our first flight together as a family of four. Now, I’m not going to sit here and act like I’m an expert by any means BUT we did do some things that we were SO GRATEFUL WE DID so I wanted to make […]

Oh baby! This post is going to be chock-full of information about visiting Disney at this time of the year (we went November 9-14), military discount information, what we would and definitely wouldn’t do next time, and even what I would suggest wearing. I’ll cut the chatter. Let’s get into this. Military Information If you […]

Our best friends are getting married in less than two weeks now! We are especially overjoyed for them because this has been a long time coming.

Woof. This post is one that I can’t believe I’m writing. You might’ve noticed that in that past month+ or so, I’ve been pretty quiet on here. There has been a LOT happening behind the scenes, a lot in the works, and it’s finally time to share some of it with you guys! Before I […]

Last week I was interviewed for a podcast titled, “Faith, Family, and The Force”. AnnaBeth and Oliver, the creators of the podcast, had a dream of having a radio show someday and realized “Hey!

I’m a goal-oriented person. I guess you could say I’m a goal digger of sorts. Now that “goal setting season” is in full effect, it makes me so excited to extend on from my previous goals and continue growing. When goal setting I think it’s really important to be realistic. It’s really natural to think, […]

Every year Stephen and I sit down together to review our year. We really enjoy breaking down every month and reminiscing over all of the good memories we made. It’s also really useful to use this time to write down our goals for the upcoming year, which I’ll discuss tomorrow! We celebrated so much in […]

Happy Wednesday! Woo! It has been quite a while since I’ve been on here to post. I am so sorry for that but while working full time, coaching, getting married, and preparing to move across the country, I came to the realization that something had to give. Now that life is slowing back down just […]

Life lately has been quite the ride! I’ve been asked by so many people questions like, “How have you seen Stephen so much recently?!” or “Are you and Stephen living in the same place now?!” so I figured I’d provide an update on life lately with a few words here and there and of course, pictures.

January 2016! This year is a big one for me. Not only will I get my masters but I will also hopefully get a “real-girl” job and will have to move (where that will be I have no clue). Since returning back to school from Christmas break all I’ve been able to think about is […]

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I’M BACK! I’m so sorry I’ve been away for a little while now… I wanted to soak up every minute of break with my family, friends, and Stephen before I had to get back to the grind. There is a long list of things that I plan to blog about in the […]

Weddings can be expensive. The word expensive being subjective of course. To a millionaire, $50,000 probably doesn’t seem like a lot for a wedding but to me, that’s a heck of a lot of money to spend on one day! Don’t get me wrong, it’s arguably one of the most important days of your life […]

As promised, Stephen and I have compiled our favorite wedding photos to share them with you all this week! I’m not fibbing when I say that we love every single one of them. They make us smile from ear to ear. Stephen and I went through these separately and some of his picks made me […]
October 11, 2017

WELLNESS
I know that some people don’t want to use essential oils (which makes me so sad… They are such a gift!) but aside from that, there are two Young Living products that I believe should be in everyone’s home: Thieves Household Cleaner and Ningxia Red. Ningxia Red is our superfood antioxidant drink that we drink […]

A good friend of mine and I were talking a week or so before Christmas and got on the topic of the 75 Hard Challenge. If you don’t know what it is, it’s a mental toughness challenge (that got pretty famous on Tik Tok apparently) developed by Andy Frisella in which you have to do […]

Happy Thursday to you! I hope you’re having a good one so far. Today I’m going to be sharing all of the details on our garage gym. For a couple of years now, I didn’t think that I really had enough to say or share to warrant a post but I’ve been asked about it […]

Do you love candles? Yep. Me too. Well, let me correct that statement… I did. It’s undeniable – not only do they make a space smell amazing but as soon as one is lit, the coziness of the area is amplified. Even if it’s in the dead of summer! We’ve always had them around our […]

Hi guys! Happy Tuesday! Stephen here. Today I am going to share with you a homemade DIY weight rack that organizes your weights and saves you space in your garage that you can make for much less than you would buy online (about $30 to be exact). We bought a bunch of weights to start […]
November 20, 2018
Today I’m going to share something a bit different than the home decor/DIY posts I’ve been sharing recently… Brooke’s adoption story! If anything, I love to have these posts for me and Stephen to look back on to remember these sweet (and somewhat funny) stories. Two Saturday’s ago we went to the local Sweet Potato […]

Happy Tuesday! Today were going to take a little break from fall decor and DIYs to talk about some yummy decomposing organic matter. You don’t have to laugh… I’m not funny, I know. After tropical storm Florence rolled through here, our garden had seen better days. The plethora of water helped some of the produce […]

Happy Friday! I hope you all have had a great week. Today I wanted to share about something that has been requested quite a bit… My skincare routine! After years of trying all sorts of different skincare routines, I’ve finally found what works for my skin. Before I get into sharing the details, I want […]

A few weeks ago I had a serious heart-to-heart with myself. At the beginning of every month I try to reflect on the past month, write down who and what what I’m thankful for, establish my goals, etc. but I had really REALLY been slacking on that too. I would have the intention of doing it and then would look […]

It has been about a month now since I decided to be social media free on the weekends and let me tell you… It has been great! It’s honestly pathetic I’m even having to say any of that. That I’ve had to ‘limit’ myself from it or that creating this limit for myself has had a great impact […]
May 21, 2018
Something that I’ve always loved and still do love is trying new products. Maybe it sounds crazy but that’s just always how I’ve been. I remember when my mom would come home with new shampoo and conditioner and or new laundry detergent and it felt like Christmas to me. It’s so lame, I know, but […]

This past Sunday Stephen and I drove up to Las Vegas to meet my parents and their “gang of six” (their group of long time friends) as they call it, so that my Mom and I could complete a marathon in the state of Nevada. It’s always a blast around them. They crack jokes and […]
November 16, 2017
I wrote this post last week and never had the chance to get it up here since I wanted to make sure my weekend meals were included. Now that the weekend (and race) is over, here it is- my diet the week leading up to marathon day. Spoiler alert, we finished the marathon despite a […]

January 2016! This year is a big one for me. Not only will I get my masters but I will also hopefully get a “real-girl” job and will have to move (where that will be I have no clue). Since returning back to school from Christmas break all I’ve been able to think about is […]

Hi everyone! I’ve been some what “off the grid” the past couple of weeks because my poor little iPhone drowned from some condensation in a cooler… Through my LifeProof… I’m not salty at all… I still might be kind of bitter about the whole situation but as always, the phrase “everything happens for a reason” has never […]

I know that some people don’t want to use essential oils (which makes me so sad… They are such a gift!) but aside from that, there are two Young Living products that I believe should be in everyone’s home: Thieves Household Cleaner and Ningxia Red. Ningxia Red is our superfood antioxidant drink that we drink […]

Hi! After years of trying to conceive and helping so many other women on their own TTC journey’s, it was time for me to sit down and share my Progessence Plus testimony and resources I found extremely helpful. This is not medical advice and I am not a medical professional. This is just my own […]

A good friend of mine and I were talking a week or so before Christmas and got on the topic of the 75 Hard Challenge. If you don’t know what it is, it’s a mental toughness challenge (that got pretty famous on Tik Tok apparently) developed by Andy Frisella in which you have to do […]

Happy Thursday to you! I hope you’re having a good one so far. Today I’m going to be sharing all of the details on our garage gym. For a couple of years now, I didn’t think that I really had enough to say or share to warrant a post but I’ve been asked about it […]

Do you love candles? Yep. Me too. Well, let me correct that statement… I did. It’s undeniable – not only do they make a space smell amazing but as soon as one is lit, the coziness of the area is amplified. Even if it’s in the dead of summer! We’ve always had them around our […]

Woof. This post is one that I can’t believe I’m writing. You might’ve noticed that in that past month+ or so, I’ve been pretty quiet on here. There has been a LOT happening behind the scenes, a lot in the works, and it’s finally time to share some of it with you guys! Before I […]

Hi guys! Happy Tuesday! Stephen here. Today I am going to share with you a homemade DIY weight rack that organizes your weights and saves you space in your garage that you can make for much less than you would buy online (about $30 to be exact). We bought a bunch of weights to start […]

Today I’m going to share something a bit different than the home decor/DIY posts I’ve been sharing recently… Brooke’s adoption story! If anything, I love to have these posts for me and Stephen to look back on to remember these sweet (and somewhat funny) stories. Two Saturday’s ago we went to the local Sweet Potato […]

Happy Tuesday! Today were going to take a little break from fall decor and DIYs to talk about some yummy decomposing organic matter. You don’t have to laugh… I’m not funny, I know. After tropical storm Florence rolled through here, our garden had seen better days. The plethora of water helped some of the produce […]

Happy Friday! I hope you all have had a great week. Today I wanted to share about something that has been requested quite a bit… My skincare routine! After years of trying all sorts of different skincare routines, I’ve finally found what works for my skin. Before I get into sharing the details, I want […]

A few weeks ago I had a serious heart-to-heart with myself. At the beginning of every month I try to reflect on the past month, write down who and what what I’m thankful for, establish my goals, etc. but I had really REALLY been slacking on that too. I would have the intention of doing it and then would look […]

It has been about a month now since I decided to be social media free on the weekends and let me tell you… It has been great! It’s honestly pathetic I’m even having to say any of that. That I’ve had to ‘limit’ myself from it or that creating this limit for myself has had a great impact […]

Something that I’ve always loved and still do love is trying new products. Maybe it sounds crazy but that’s just always how I’ve been. I remember when my mom would come home with new shampoo and conditioner and or new laundry detergent and it felt like Christmas to me. It’s so lame, I know, but […]

This post may contain affiliate links. The purpose behind jordanjean.com is something that has been churning in my brain for a while now. I mean really, really churning. I have a lot to say so it feels good to be sitting here and letting my brain dump out on this page. Hopefully I can translate […]

This past Sunday Stephen and I drove up to Las Vegas to meet my parents and their “gang of six” (their group of long time friends) as they call it, so that my Mom and I could complete a marathon in the state of Nevada. It’s always a blast around them. They crack jokes and […]

I wrote this post last week and never had the chance to get it up here since I wanted to make sure my weekend meals were included. Now that the weekend (and race) is over, here it is- my diet the week leading up to marathon day. Spoiler alert, we finished the marathon despite a […]

Continuing on from the post I shared Tuesday, I think it’s time for me to share my thoughts on the dreaded word- diet. Let me start with a little background first so that you understand where I’m coming from. For those that don’t know, I studied Food Science & Technology at Virginia Tech (GO HOKIES!) […]

Happy Monday! I know it’s later in the day on the East Coast so I’m giving you all a good late night read. I frequently get questions related to diet and body image but have yet to ever really talk about it on the blog. I think it’s time for me to do that but […]

Holy camoly Batman! I am so excited to be sitting here writing this post. This is the first of many in my anticipated “Wedding Wednesday” series. After almost exactly two months since our special day, I’m finally able to process it along with all of the great memories leading up to it. I have so […]
