Why hello. I’m Jenny You. I’m a 22-year-old reporter and producer who loves the simple life and taking walks with my pup Kiwi ♥. I’ve got an old soul and young heart. I love snapping photos, spending time in my kitchen, dream about the 40s & 50s, strive on fashion and enjoy a little vinyl and pianoforte. I started jennyunbiyou[dot]com two years ago to share my thoughts, adventures, recipes, DIYs, trends, etc. You can follow me on Twitter to find out what’s going on in this crazy place we call earth.

Christmas is in the air! It’s my absolute fave time of the year hands down. We’re starting to see more of the twinkle lights and wreaths, hear more holiday tunes and smell those delicious treats. So just for funzies, I wanted to share with you my wishlist which is made up of shameless wants & needs.</p> <p><img src="http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/jennyunbiyou/duvet.jpg" width="358" height="431"/><br/> This violet ruffle duvet from <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=20466090&navAction=jump&isProduct=true&parentid=MORE%20IDEAS&isProduct=true&cross-sell=true&guide-bn=true">UO</a> is dreamy and will send me straight to dreamland. Perfect for a cold wintry night this year.</p> <p><img src="http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/jennyunbiyou/silkysatin.jpg" width="357" height="391"/><br/> To go under the ruffle duvet…<a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?parentid=A_FURN_BEDROOM&id=18457671&color=066&navAction=true&isProduct=true&wishlist=true">silky satin</a> sheets. Mmhmm. Enough said.</p> <p><img src="http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/jennyunbiyou/cakepoproller.jpg" width="250" height="200"/><br/><br/> I’m obsessed with cake pops but sick of rolling a hundred of those little balls by hand. Shortcut anyone?…with this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cake-Pop-Baller-Professional-Brownie/dp/B005LTYCMM/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1321820549&sr=8-5">cake pop baller</a>?</p> <p><img src="http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/jennyunbiyou/cakepops.jpg" width="400" height="333"/><br/> For just a little extra inspiration, Bakerella’s book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cake-Pops-Tricks-Recipes-Irresistible/dp/0811876373/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1321821244&sr=8-3#_">Cake Pops</a>.</p> <p><img src="http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/jennyunbiyou/kitchenaid.jpg" width="400" height="390"/><br/> I know…I <strong>can’t</strong> believe I don’t have one either. I think I’ve had this one in the <a href="http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00869210000P?prdNo=21&blockNo=46&blockType=G46">Tiffany blue</a> shade on my list year after year. Essential to every dessert lover out there. I’d be in tears of joy if this one was under my tree, guaranteed.</p> <p><img src="http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/jennyunbiyou/typewriter.jpg" width="400" height="352"/><br/> This turqoise typewriter brings you back to the days of typing Christmas letters to your friends and family for the holidays…right? I just love going into Eclectica on Grand on my weekends to shuffle through their box of letters from the 1900-something years that are all typewritten. Love this typewriter from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/75805030/olivetti-lettera-32-antique-typewriter?ref=sr_gallery_4&ga_search_query=typewriter&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=vintage&ga_facet=vintage">Etsy</a>! I’d send letters to everyone with this. Too fun.</p> <p><img src="http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/jennyunbiyou/tiffany.jpg" width="400" height="255"/><br/> Every girl deserves a little something something from Tiffany’s. Especially a pretty fashion ring like <a href="http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?sku=GRP05155&mcat=148204&cid=287466&fromGrid=1&search_params=s+5-p+1-c+287466-r+101323338-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+">this one</a>. I love stopping into Tiff’s when I’m near one. As Holly Golightly says: What I’ve found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffany’s.  It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there.  </p> <p><img src="http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/3513/sheandhim.jpg" width="397" height="386"/><br/> Have a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Very-She-Him-Christmas/dp/B005KJZDW6/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1321822683&sr=1-1">Very She & Him Christmas</a>. Probably one of the coolest holiday albums out there AND they have it in vinyl!!!! I can just imagine drinking some hot apple cider while baking my holiday cake pops and cookies while listening to She & Him this year. Love!</p> <p><img src="http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/jennyunbiyou/boo.jpg" width="400" height="255"/><br/> I think my obsession with Boo has gone over the top. I want this <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/books/boo-the-life-of-the-world-s-cutest-dog">book</a>. I feel that it would make me happy just flipping through Boo’s adorable photos every single day! I want Boo :( Where can I get one?</p> <p><img src="http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/jennyunbiyou/bolton.jpg" width="400" height="110"/><br/> Every 9 seconds, a woman in the U.S. either experiences domestic violence or is assaulted. It’s the leading cause of injury to women far beyond car crashes, fires, disasters, etc. That’s why one of my Xmas wishes is for women to always have a safe haven to turn to, like Bolton Refuge in Eau Claire and other areas in Western WI. They have an emergency shelter, counseling, transitional housing, legal advocacy, etc. Donate <a href="http://boltonrefugehouse.org/donate.htm">here</a>. They’re good people.</p> <p><img src="http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/jennyunbiyou/fmsc.jpg" width="400" height="200"/><br/> If you’re from the Twin Cities, you’ve probably heard of this organization. It’s a Christian org with a good cause. They feed thousands of children and adults everyday all across the globe. You can go to Feed My Starving Children yourself and check it out and volunteer, pack a meal or donate. What better way to serve than to serve the hungry who have no choice in the situation they’re placed in. Find out more <a href="http://www.fmsc.org/">here</a>.</p> <p><img src="http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae289/jennyunbiyou/kiwi.jpg" width="400" height="271"/><br/> My #1 Christmas wish…to have Kiwi with me again. My apartment unit doesn’t allow pups (except the ones that were grandfathered in from when they were allowed). I’ve been miserable without her. I know it’s probably impossible but it’s still on the wishlist. She’s at my parent’s house now.

So I decided to show some effort as someone who now lives in Wisconsin, and make a Packer themed dessert. </p> <p>My obsession with red velvet has come into play once again. This time, in the form of cake balls. Love these things! One large bite of moist red velvet cake covered in chocolate on a stick! What’s not to love? It’s also a great alternative to a messed up cake. You know what I’m talking about. Not every cake that goes in the oven turns out wonderful. Why not use your not-so-perfect cake for making cake pops?</p> <p>Here’s the how to (makes 40):</p> <p>Ingredients:<br/> -One box of red velvet cake, baked and cooled (or you can make it from scratch)<br/> -8 oz. cream cheese<br/> -2 c. confectioners sugar<br/> -4 Tb. butter<br/> -1 Tb. milk<br/> -1 bag of Wilton candy melts (green)<br/> -1 bag of Wilton candy melts (yellow)<br/> -Sprinkles, chopped nuts, whatever decorations you want<br/> -40 lollipop sticks (the Wiltons and lolli sticks can be found at Michaels)</p> <p>Recipe:<br/> 1) Bake the cake. Let it cool overnight or leave in the freezer for a couple hours.<br/> 2) When it’s completely cooled, crumble it into a bowl (this is the fun part) with your fingers or fork into small crumbs.<br/> 3) Mix the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and milk in a separate bowl until smoothed to cream cheese frosting.<br/> 4) Pour the mix into the cake crumbs and mix with a spoon, then knead with hands until evenly mixed. Make sure you can roll the cake into a ball about the size of a donut hole.<br/> 5) Cover the mix and leave in freezer for a couple hours. It needs to be cold for when you make the balls.<br/> 6) Get a large baking sheet and cover with wax paper.<br/> 7) Take cold mix and roll into donut hole sized balls and place on baking sheet<br/> 8) Pick up each cake ball and stick a lollipop stick into it.<br/> 9) Place it on baking sheet and put back in freezer so that the balls harden<br/> 10) Melt the chocolate candy melts in two separate double boilers, or microwave (just follow the direction on the bag)<br/> 11) Take each cake pop and dip into melted chocolate until entirely covered.<br/> 12) Dip it while it’s still wet into sprinkles, etc.<br/> 13) Place it on baking sheet with stick facing up (obviously). Or if you want the top to be rounded, you can put the stick end into some styrofoam. </p> <p>Voila! Bona petit for game time!</p>http://www.jennyunbiyou.com/post/11004702707http://www.jennyunbiyou.com/post/11004702707Mon, 03 Oct 2011 20:44:00 -0500recipedessertcakecake popscookingpackersnfl<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lre87kM2av1qzc76io1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://thegorgeoushussy.tumblr.com/post/10117065592" class="tumblr_blog">thegorgeoushussy</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Coco Chanel and Romy Schneider</p></blockquote>http://www.jennyunbiyou.com/post/10117321971http://www.jennyunbiyou.com/post/10117321971Mon, 12 Sep 2011 00:04:22 -0500romy schneidercoco chanelfashiondesignerchanelportraitblack and whitevintage<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/28175226" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Amazing music video produced by Neary Studios for Dan Cook’s solo project entitled Social Hour.
