Pretty Ugly

A comedy of errors and epiphanies…

About Me

Hi. I’m Jenni, a 40-year-old mom, wife, career waitress, and wannabe novelist who’s been navigating life one rant, and awkward overshare at a time.

Welcome to Pretty Ugly.

This space is my open journal. A place where I pour out personal stories, spontaneous rants, questionable advice, and whatever else drips out of my over-caffeinated brain. It’s a mix of serious and sarcasm, deep feels and eye-rolls.

I’m also three years alcohol-free and learning what it means to feel everything without a buzz. Spoiler alert: it’s equal parts liberating and wildly uncomfortable. But it’s real, and real is what I’m going for here.

If you’ve followed me before, you might remember my first born blog, Properly Ridiculous (RIP 💔). She taught me everything I know about writing my truth, even when it’s weird, uncomfortable, or way too honest. Some of those posts will get a second life here—edited, matured (slightly), and still gloriously ridiculous.

If you’re here, thank you. Really. Whether you’re lurking in silence, nodding along, or furiously disagreeing with me—I’m glad we’ve crossed paths.
