Amidst all of The Bachelor buzz (which, frankly, I am totally sick of because it’s clearly a ratings scam), I found out some great news about my favorite Bachelorette alumni, Jen Schefft. She has teamed up with WeddingChannel.com to launch her very own blog! Jen Schefft’s Bridal Blog will chronicle her own wedding preparation (she got engaged to Joe Waterman in September 2008) as well as provide advice to other brides.

Jen first appeared during the third season of The Bachelor with dreamy (but sorta slimy) Andrew Firestone. Jen was the last woman standing but, in true Bachelor form, they broke up. Jen appeared in the next Bachelorette but, again, went home empty-handed as she turned down not one but two proposals. But it just goes to show that you should never settle because now she is planning her dream wedding with her perfect guy.

“He keeps telling me it’s my day and only steps in when I need his advice. What can I say? I’m a lucky girl.”

Congratulations Jen!

I am a firm believer that gentlemen should open doors and I think a Little Black Dress is the most important piece in a girl’s closet. In matters such as these, I am a strict traditionalist. When it comes to beauty and wellness however I want what’s now and what’s new. And I’m not the only one.
