Weekend Wrap-up: #Techgating and Twitter Parties!

Happy Tuesday to you and happy weekend wrap up! I hope your week, your day, and your month have all been amazing. We've been doing a lot you and I: Twitter parties, launching an app, catching up... and slowing it down to get ready for the holidays! Yes, I said the H word! Can you believe it's only TWO more Thursdays until Thanksgiving and SIX more Thursdays until Christmas!?!?! The red cup is out and everything (praise to PSL all day with sprinkles of nutmeg).

So I'm wrapping up the weekend and the week's happenings.

If you love hosting parties, love football season, or just love awesome gifts, then you're not going to want to miss out on our LIVE #Techgating Twitter party happening this Wednesday, 11/19, with our friends at AT&T @FanForAll. Sign up here . RSVP with your Twitter handle and be sure to use the hashtag #Techgating to participate and for a chance to win fun prizes! We'll contact the winners after the event. I can't wait to chat with you all, share my hosting skills secrets, and talk about how tech obsessed we all are! 

As much as I love writing, I also love creating videos - whether they are, my video blogs or my sketch comedy, all are up on my channel now! Click here to check out my latest video blog where I take you around my #Techgating party with my closest friends, show you my DIY tech stations that I'm so proud of, and introduce you to my party's signature hostess drink! It's complete with photo booth props and game day shortcakes! For all of the recipes you see in the video and my game day DIY how to's, click here for that post! I hope this inspires you to get creative with your parties and make them your own with your personal style. Please share your blog posts and photos in the comments so I can check them all out!

Comedy really is my creative outlet. Some people meditate or bake. I write comedy sketches and web series. My latest sketch shows all of my fellow football 'noobs' just how to fit in with the cheering and celebrations by throwing the best party ever! It goes through all of the things you'll need on game day to stay connected to the game and to your friends enjoying it somewhere else. Oh technology, such a beautiful thing. Except when my parents try to Facetime us and aren't sure how to use that feature on their phones! Ha! So click here to laugh out loud at my dance skills (errr lack there of)! 

And for some knee slappin' good time giggles, check out the video Corrine and I did together. It's our mother/daughter 'favorites' video. You KNOW Corrine doesn't love the camera as much as I do but she rocks it! Click here to check it out. She steals all of my things like my makeup and my clothes, so it's no wonder they end up in our 'favorites' video as her own! Awww parenthood...gotta love it! 

And last but definitely not least; if you love a sense of community, would like to be a part of some awesome collaborations, and would like to be featured here on my blog or over on my YouTube channel, then please download my FREE mobile app! It's totally fun, totally free, and I totally love being a part of all the conversations that are happening over on the app between you all, myself and the rest of our community! So click here to join in on the fun. I'm running a contest right now - #10DaysOfJessmas haha I'm so cheesy! So I pick a winner a day to get a handmade holiday ornament from yours truly. Oh, and I'll be filming myself making them for you so you can be a part of the moment when I glue my fingers together ;)

So that's the week and weekend wrap-up! Please leave a comment below if I'll be seeing you at our live Twitter #Techgating party. (Sign up here) and let me know what's new and exciting with you! I respond to comments so leave 'em all!

Have a superb week and thanks for stopping by for a read!

Hugs,

How To Throw The Best #Techgating Party Ever!

Why yes, my title would make an amazing hashtag! Sooo if you know me personally then you KNOW I'll take any reason to get dressed up and host a shindig of my own! The football season is upon us and I may be THE walking definition of a 'footbal noob', but I still throw the best darn football party anyone's ever seen! I even made a video about it, 2 of them! I'm so excited to share that I've teamed up with AT&T for their #TechGating campaign, which takes tailgating, technology, and social media, and marries them all together to bring you the most interactive and fun social experience, while enjoying the game! Below is a still from our shoot, it's a sketch I wrote for my YouTube channel where I show you how to throw your very own #techgating party, while giving you all the things you'll see and experience at every.single.tailgating.party. Ever.
