For realistic structuring and showing: Jess Swift Jess is my Declaration of You sly accomplice, the lady who made my rhyming profession change exercise manual not make me resemble an insane individual, and a woman I want to one day live with Golden Girls style (alongside our spouses, obviously). Her style is very unmistakable, yet shes ready to shape it to what it is youre advancing an exercise manual, a blog flag, a business card, a logo and so on, she does it, and with her own masterful pizazz. Additionally, youre going to wanna own all that she sells. Youve been cautioned.
