Welcome to my little corner of the internet! My name is Jessi, and I’m newly 30, newlywed, and a new homeowner. I’m a communications professional with a passion for style and delicious food. I was born and raised in Indianapolis, where my husband and I have chosen to start our lives together. Real Life Sparkle was born out of my love for fashion and lifestyle blogs, but with a desire to make things a little more realistic for my world of busy work schedules, student loans, and mortgage payments. I like to think of myself as a midwestern girl who can make it work, whether it means getting a look for less, doing a little DIY, or whipping up a good meal. I hope you’ll like it here!
