Happy New Year!!  Did you miss me?  I actually felt weird not doing #jesspicks for two weeks.  Like something was missing if that makes sense.  But it was really good to take some time off to recharge, work a little bit and have some fun.  What have I been up to?  Shows: I saw Hamilton (loved it and I want to see it AGAIN), the Nutcracker (so good and we had box seats, so I felt like a VIP), and Phantom of the Opera (this is such a great story and the soundtrack gets me every time).  Also movies: Hidden Figures - everyone should watch this.  I mean everyone.  It was filled with so much #blackgirlmagic and inspiration that I cried a few times with the impact and themes of it all.  Sing - talk about a fun, music-filled, rooting-for-the characters movie. You should put both of those on your must-see list. I also worked on techbizgurl.com and set some goals for 2017. Yay! So here is the big picture plan:Turn the site into a legitimate side-hustle and make some $$.  Currently going through this awesome course (affiliate link) to get up to speed on how to start making affiliate income.  Write at least 12 quality blog posts for the year  - one a month.Continue to send out #jesspicks every Saturday.Your turn!  What did you do over the holidays? And what are your plans for 2017?  Hit reply and let me know.  It's so good to be back. :)  On to the picks for the week!P.S. If you notice, this issue has a slightly new look.
