I see you like to read too can I asked what books on your desk ty
Congrats, Jenna!! Well deserved 👏🏽 I got promoted back in May and it feels great to be recognized for our hard work ✨️
Congratulations to you as well Alma💖
Congratulations on getting promoted!
Thank you so much 🥹 that means the world
Congrats on the promotion!🎉 side note, I used to get acrylic nails all the time.. but I felt like it was a waste of money because the techs would rush and not do a good job. I have been using the press on nails and I’ve received more compliments with them than I ever did when I got them professionally done. The press nails are about $8 and last a week or two. I’ve used the “impress” brand but I’m looking into other brands. I love the idea of a gel kit but I personally have no patience😅.
Omg I need to hop on the press on bandwagon 🥹🥹 thank you
Congrats on the promotion! That makes the 9-5 grind more worth it I think! (Hopefully! ❤❤
Thank you Jess💖💖💖
Congrats on your promotion! I do my own gels nails and I love them! Always looking at our nails at the office it feels like a must for me. To avoid the chipping I like doing tip fade rather than a solid coat of polish. I find it grows out better! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Ugh it is a must, do you have an electric tool for the removal?? Honestly plz email me your nail care routine bc I would LOVE to know 🥹 hello@jennaxhong.com
I love your “Work to Live” series, it’s a great way to look at things. I just love your videos so much!
thank you 💕
Hi Jenna! I have always done my nails, so I have been through, acrylics, pink/white powder, gels, dip, and now I've moved to hard gel - also referred to as "builder" gel, and Russian manicures. They last 4-5 weeks for me and the hard gel doesn't seem as thick as dip. There is a good technician at The Beauty Clarendon. They just moved locations - I think across the street from where they were, but still in Arlington. Not many salons do the "builder" gel, but Rockville also has a place called Wisteria Beauty Studio - which I go to because it's closer, but ...plan to spend a couple of hours at Wisteria. The Clarendon tech is much faster.
I heard such good things about builder gel!! Thank you 🥹💖
And loved the outside of the apartment vlogging! So fun
Thank you, I love how the footage comes out with the new camera 😍😍
Congratulations Jenna! Thanks for spending the week with us. Love the Work to Live Diaries

Thank you Abby 💕💕
Love your work to live diaries! You and Selena inspire me to do youtube even if I do work fulltime. I found u on her channel and I'm so glad I did.
I’m so happy you came over here from selenaaa 💖💖
I do my gel nails at home. They generally last about a week to a week and a half before I have to redo them, but that’s bc my nails are naturally paper thin and that caused the gel to lift at the end. The only issue I have is removal- you definitely need an electric file kit, plus a pretty harsh chemical- and the combination of those things has damaged my already super thin nails.
If your nails are naturally nice and thick it shouldn’t be an issue. But if they’re super brittle and flaky like mine, even the most gentle removal is still going to affect them.
Cost wise though, It’s okay- you just make the up front investment which is probably about the same as one or two manicures in the salon. Other than that, you need a good hour or so periodically to remove and reapply- it’s definitely time consuming, but if you have the time it’s worth it.
Definitely time consuming but I guess if I were to go to a salon monthly it would be the same more or less 🥹 thank you so much
Congrats!! You deserve the promotion 💓💓
Thank you 💖💖
Congrats on your promotion! You are such an inspiration!
thank you 🥹
Congrats Jenna on the promotion. Love your content!
Thank you💕
Congratulations on your promotion!!!!! 🎉🎉❤
thank you 💖
Congratulations on the promotion I am not surprised at all, for my nail routine I went from doing regular nail polish weekly to gel polish almost biweekly. But because I only plan for 1 day of self-care after work each week, I changed to press on's so that I may complete more self-care tasks in that day.
That’s true self care biweekly I feel like it’s good to make time for the gel removal 🥹
And thank you so much 💖
Hey gurl! Congrats on the promotion. Hair is looking fab!
Thank you🥹💖
Aww congratulations Jenna!🥳🩵
Thank you so much💖

I'm so glad I found you! Also a corp galie at a consulting firm so this is motivating :)
I've been wanting to start vlogging but trying to find that balance
Happy to have ya here 💖
Hugee congrats on your promotion!! 🥳 It's an honor to see you grow in your professional career! I used to get gel nails at the salon but I bought an At-Home kit from Amazon about a year ago and haven't gone back! I love it cause I feel like its less harmful on my nails so I can change colors every week 😍
thank you so much 💕 ugh such a good idea
Congratulations on your promotion ❤
Beast is getting so handsome !
Thank you💖 omg handsome boyyy
congrats on the promotion you bada**!!! love you from CA!
hehe thank you aly 💕
OMG! Congratulations on your promotion!
Beast looks so cute and has the longest eyelashes!
I do my nails and my lashes at home. For my nails, I using Dashing Diva. Highly recommend!
I totally understand frustration with editing your footage in 4k. You inspired me to film my vlogs in 4k going forward since we film with the same camera. Your vlogs are so crisp and the quality is amazing!
Omg will definitely look into dashing diva! Thank you 💖 oh yesss you MUST edit in proxy with 4K for sure
I was doing dip every 4 weeks. Took them off and gave my nails a break for 6 weeks. I just started going the glue on nail route. $8 for a kit that has two sets in it. Kiss is a good brand to pick up and try. Plan on changing them every 10 days or so. I’m 5 days in and so far so good. I carry the tiny kit with me (I popped off one opening a can) for repairs.
Thank you for sharing💖
i found you a year ago through Rachel Vinn and I love your content I’ve been binge watching all your videos thank you for your creation and sharing with us
Thank you I’m so happy you joined the fam💖😭
Congrats on getting the promotion!! And I do my own nails-get my nail polish from the beauty store/dollar store or target, and also from the beauty store get this red can called nail enamel dryer. My nails last longer and I do get complients almost all the time
thank you 💕 oh i love that, thank you for the recommendation!
Beast- precious!!! 🐾🐾❤️
He’s so so precious 😭
Hi girl! Just found your channel and I love how chill your content is so +1 subscriber
Omg thank you so much for joining the fam 💖 I use the Sony ZV E10 and the 11mm f1.8 lens! I talk about my whole setup in my weekend reset vlog I just posted
Low FODMAP for us IBS girlies 💀!! It’s less acidic, lighter on your tummy
Usually no garlic or onions as well
love the inclusivity of thrive market 🤩
Congratulations on getting promoted, you deserve it! Will you be leading the team in the upcoming year or will it be more of an individual contributor's position to manage the process? Can't wait to hear more about your new role and how you feel about it after a couple of months :) Take care, Jenna!
Yes ill talk about it more in WTLD💖 basically this is a transitional year and I should have a team eventually just not now
Congrats on the promotion!!!
thank you 💕
The editing is fire🔥
Thank you🥹💖
Gel kits at home are so easy! Especially for your toes. I use gel for my toenails and they last so much longer compared to regular nail polish! If anything, I hear the press-on's are pretty easy and nice too (I have heard great things about glamnetic press ons)
Omg I’ve never really tried press ons maybe I’ll give that a try🥹
Also, congrats on your promotion (: Hehe one of those comments where I say it out loud and in my head but my focus for the comment was the nails xD)@@JennaHong
On the nail topic, I got the Red Carpet Nails kit from Ulta about a year and a half ago. I'm just now running out of the products that came with the kit and I've bought several extra polishes, but my nails have been consistently done the whole time and it's so much cheaper!
Thank you for sharing ❤️🔥
You can do a short apres gelx. I do the long length and they last me at least 5 weeks. Yesterday I did a soak off I could have went 6 weeks they were still looking good with no lifting. But I find that any kind of overlays are susceptible to chipping.
Thank you💙
for nails, an easy solution is press ons. there are so many options for designs and you can use either glue or stickers. they can last pretty long depending on the glue/sticker.
so many people loving press ons! thank you 💕
I literally bought a gel kit this morning from the store!!!
Okay neeeed
Congrats on the promotion! I'm the same - when I have a late start to my mornings it messes with my mentality of getting my workout in and I end up psyching myself out to being lazy 😭 Also not to get you to spend money lol, but the latest macbook pros with the new M1/2 chips edit 4k like a breeze. No need to do proxy or anything and smooth as butter! And not sure if you're doing this but in FCP, you can leave files in place so they don't copy over the files when importing (basically so you don't have two copies of the media taking space on your computer).
BUT if you do have an m chip MacBook Pro - I was having issues with editing 4k when I bought it and my heart sank because I was like no way I spent this much and it's so laggy... bug did some digging and found this:
"Make sure to grant Final Cut Pro "Full Disk Access" in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy. Without it, the application can't access external drives."
After I did that, editing became so satisfying!
YESS i always keep files in place that helps a lot, but honestly proxy has been pretty smooth for me, I have the M1 chip from 2021. THANK YOUU for the extra tip on granting access 😍 You're the best Mikee! and thank you 🥹
Hi Jenna. New subbie here👋🏽
I found you through Selena’s channel. This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and when you mentioned that you filmed xyz in another video I went to check your channel and was ASTONISHED at how many videos you output. I’m not sure if you do Q&As but I’d love to know more about your content strategy. It must be difficult to keep all the concepts of each video in your head while filming in between your work day.
I also work a 9-5 but would love to post more than 1 long form video a week. Any advice you could share would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for sharing your light!
❤️
-Taryn
I have been doing monthly plan with me videos this year to show how I prep my content each month ahead which has helped me so much in preparing when to film what 💖 thank you so so much for supporting 🥹
Congratulations on the promotion!
thank you 💕
I love it when asians speak English fluently with US accent ❤(I m Asian as well)
Thank you!
I live a little north of you and can confirm it's been soooo humid until this week. Randomly feeling like fall is coming. I'm not falling for it though, our second summer is still coming lol.
I neeeeed fall now 🤪🤪
@@JennaHong haha right?!?! just as I predicted it's feeling humid af again.
Is this healthy? No. It’s not supposed to be. 😂 So relatable!
😜🤪
Congrats on the promotion 🎉 😊 What mouse do you use? It looks amazing, I could definitely use an upgrade 😂
It’s linked in the description box 💖 logitech!
And thank you❤️🔥
Hi Jenna congrats on the promotion! What type/model of mouse do you use for work need a new one and yours looks very comfortable. Thank you!
Hi nina! My mouse is linked in the description box and also on my Amazon Storefront :)
I bought all the supplies to do my own nails because I didn't want to keep paying to get it done. It takes some time to get the hang of everything but I treat it like a creative time and me-time. I know others prefer the ease of going in to get it done though so it just depends!
Both are such time commitments it’s so hard to choose 🥲
Get the Beetles Gel kit! That's what I use and it's SO EASY
Omg thank you for the rec 💖
Hi Jenna! I don’t know if you’ve already mentioned this but what camera are you using for your videos? The quality looks amazing 😻
Sony ZV E10💖
Congratulations on the promotion Jenna!! 🥳❤️
Btw I might have missed this but what lens did you end up keeping for the Sony ZV-E10?
The 11mm f1.8 💖 thank youuu
@@JennaHong Ooh your vlog quality is chef’s kiss! The wide angle, blurry background, everything’s so much more higher quality & crisp! Love it ❤️❤️❤️
@@isle_lee I’m so glad you noticedddd I completely agree 🤭🤭 I’m obsessed
Congratulations Jenna!! May I ask what camera you use pls? ✨
Thank you 🥹 the Sony ZVE10 , I have a video setting it up!
@@JennaHong I justtt peeped it! I discovered your channel today 🌸
welcome to the fam 🥹❤@@Londoloza031
i paint my nails at home with essie sugar daddy pink. it has a nice gloss but still looks natural so when it peels it does not show too much. i gave up on salon manicures lol $$$$$
It’s so hard 😭😭😭💖💖 thank you!!
I do dip(which is basically a type of acrylic) every 3 weeks. My brother came up with this budget for me and his wife as felt 2 weeks was too much. My nails grow out fast so have to do it every 3 weeks but I know people who can last to 4. I justify this because I don't spend more than $250 on makeup/beauty/hair care products etc. monthly and in general I rarely spend the full $250. The drawback is I do spend about $100 monthly on the. service alone because my shop is expensive. Other than that I think keeping the nails is important.
I totally see the value I just don’t want to spend the time and money required 😭 the finished is so worth it though
@JennaHong I know some people who can get gel done for cheaper like below $75 but they are only getting a color. I also dont know where those shops are in the DMV. I get my nails designed in whatever style I want and I genuinely don't pay for other beauty services or products. I think if you are paying for other services that's where it gets pricey. But maybe you can do something where you get it done maybe once or twice a year? Also the impress press ons did work for a while but they only last a week at most.
@@stoptheangst literally so hard, I’m so go big or go home if I’m gonna pay the premium I want a design or chrome or something 🫠 which just always brings me to the dilemma but I love the idea of just knowing I’ll do it maybe once or twice a year and otherwise do them at home 💕
For nails, I feel like no matter what it's expensive. I try and push my nails to once a month, or every 6 weeks, which can be difficult with the grow out. I also have my own gel nail kit, if you don't have longer nails, or want a special shape it's worth it, only thing is you don't have the colour range and have to invest in the colour's otherwise it really is good and lasts for at least 2 weeks.
It’s so hard!! Ugh I feel like I have to go back to doing weekly manis or something at home
When I lived in JAX, fl I would get my nails on every other paycheck. So I was paid biweekly, I would get my nails done which at the time was $30 for a gel set and I tipped $5. I would then skip next paycheck and get it the paycheck after that one. So I was getting my nails done every 6 weeks. They were almost on their last leg, but I work with my hands and just the amount of layers and care they would take, made them last long. I feel if I have to go the nail shop every two weeks, I’m not getting my money’s worth. Granted now it $55 almost $60 for nails.
that's how i feel, i just can't go every two weekss!!
late to watch - your video quality in this video!! >>>>>>>
Omg thank you 🥹
🎉 congratz on the promo 👍🏼
thank you 💕
Congrats on your promotion, Jenna.
Thank you💖
@@JennaHong You’re welcome.
Get gel x you can do it yourself and I find it’s easy.
Thank you 💖
Nice video! What type of camera do you use ? Do you use an lens ? Do you color grade in post editing. ? A lot of questions haha, but your video quality is dope!
Thank you!! I just upgraded my whole filming setup not too long ago. I use the Sony ZV E10, with the Sony 11mm f1.8 lens and Sony ECM G1 mic :) I do manually color grade in Final Cut Pro yes
Thank you so much for your response! I have the same exact camera, would have to get the lens! What picture profile do you shoot in on the zve-10? Also do you utilize LUTS or its straight up personal color grading?
@@JennaHong
@@PraisePelumi I shoot in 4k 24fps, and on aperture auto mode or manual! Usually aperture mode though. And I manually color grade! Of course!!
Thank you for responding! Great content! @@JennaHong
Love how tired they are the day after hehehehe
oh yesssss
I love your video I see you like reading books what’s the name of the books on your desk
A court of thorns and roses! And then my journal 💖
@@JennaHong ty
What is your filming set up? how is this like a 14mm 1.8 or something???? how is the view so wide with such shallow dof... also.... how much data did you capture to create a 33 minutes video in 4k SIXTY??? lmao
i edit in proxy which helps with file management! and it's 11mm f1.8 sony lens on sony zv e10
the low fodmap pasta sauce is for the IBS girlies just fyi 🥰
Omg love that ok thrive market w the inclusivity 😭💖
