Happy Sunday everyone! We've got another vlog for yall. Let's catch up!
I totally got teary eyed when you said, "Our only job is to like ourselves."
Sometimes I don't understand why are we soo harsh on ourselves. It hurts.
Anyway.. It was such a good reminder of self acceptance and self love in true sense.
And Jenn.. I love you. ❤ you, your vlogs, your opinions its just such a comforting and familiar vibe. I always always look forward to your content. Thanks..! 😘
aw this video is amazing!! i love the message "our only job is to like ourselves" it really resonates with me cause i can be so hard on myself :( starting youtube has been so scary but i loved watching you grow since you were clothes encounters! you have helped me gain confidence!! thank you so much & love you jenn 💖✨
Hi Jenn, I wish you had a discount code for Masterclss. I want to give it a try for a few months, and if I like it then join.
So much truth in the ending!
love love love, wish you had your own podcast!!! speaking of, any podcast recommendations?
Because of the quarantine, I had more time to be with my biggest critic, myself. I’ve created tiny habits like journaling at night, meditating for a few minutes, working out. Anything to keep my spirits up and put me in a better mood.
Life becomes easier if we become good friends with ourselves ✨
At the end of the day, the one who has your back will always be you. Really happy to hear you self improving! Stay strong especially during these times!
@@JamesVSCinema thank you!! Hope you're doing good too
my parents used to use the library as a “day care” too! i remember spending HOURS there every single school day to the point where i knew the librarians by first name haha + bailey school kids was my favorite series in elementary school too!
Dustin I love youuuuuu✨💗
hi dustin
The reason why I like your channel is that I can see how you enjoy your life🥰
I agreed 😍
Oh yes! Writing without pressure keeps the passion.
I thought I loved writing and went to write for a marketing department of a global hotel chain, the deadlines just suck out all the creativity and it's no longer an art or passion that I loved.
So, I've learnt that not all passions should be turned into a job 😊
That's a huge lesson!
Totally agree with this! I learned that when I tried to get into photography and write as a job or more “professionally”. Quickly learned the enjoyment was sucked out of it so now I do it for myself and is finding other enjoyable things to do for work.
This is so true. I really love writing and at some point I thought that maybe I could turn my writing into a job because I write a lot of stories and such but when I think of it as a job, I know I won't enjoy it as much so I decided that I will let it remain a hobby and a passion
a notification from Jenn Im gives me a heart fluttering feeling 💛
Me too
Fr!
Absolutely man
Me too!!
Jenn, your personality is literally a ray of light! Thank you for continuing to post such uplifting, quality content for so many years. Your hard work definitely does not go unnoticed
EId Moubarak to everyone celebrating! Thank you Jenn for uploading and being consistent during this quarantine xx
Eid moubarak to you as well! :-)
Your video title and thumbnails are so warm they just make my heart melt (especially today’s’!)🥰😍
Happy Birthday to your dad!! I had no idea he’s 60, he seriously looks like 40!! And I commented this on your IG photo and guess what!! Your dad liked my comment!!! That makes me happy haha!💛💛💛
Aww thanks Cheryl! My dad was so happy that day!
She said, “.. just relax, and be a blob,” and I really felt that. Lol
I love when you tell us about your self love and how journaling has helped you on that journey ❤️ a lot of us have been avid watchers and subscribers since the beginning, and as your viewers, hearing about that growth and reflection that you’re having with yourself from 2018 is nostalgic bc we all feel those feelings with you and have watched you during your highs and lows ✨💕 I love this!
I love how Alisha and Jenn cue each other in their vlogs! I remember watching a vlog where Alisha mentioned seeing Jenn's headband, and now Jenn's using the egg cooker!
Jenn has no idea how much she has helped me, a few months ago I started therapy but seeing her tips and what works for her has helped me a lot, is like getting a guide on how I can work on myself, I forgot completely of her and I was like omg i havent seen Jenn wtf. and her glow up from some years ago when I was watching her WOW is really inspiring and I love how much she is into mental health. We all need to work on ourselves
before I asked for help I would wake up and be like, now what. I don't wanna eat, go out, like what's the point. Eating for me was like omg I have to eat, my friends and family would have to tell me EAT and put the plate in front of me, then I would be like oh yeah I'm hungry lol I would forget to eat cuz I just wasn't hungry, just that, I was as dead inside, I was the type of person who would sing in the shower, car, doing something, dancing, being silly..... suddenly I stopped. I also didn't want to see anyone, stopped painting. having no money to be able to buy material made it worse so I stop.
After last year I finally asked for help after an overdose, moved to another city and started to get help from my mom, went to therapy, started meds, after a few months suddenly I woke up SO HUNGRY and so early when to the kitchen all HAPPY making myself breakfast ME I hated doing breakfast, I started to feel a little love for myself making the breakfast for myself making it look nice for me, my mom hugs me every sec cuz she is is so glad seeing my progress. I still have a lot of trauma and things to work on but now I can actually see the light at the of the tunnel and that for me is everything, is what I need to keep going cuz every time was harder to recover.
just wanted to share this, ps English is no my first language
I love this, and I love you, stranger! I'm going through the same thing, I can't believe that someone just described my exact situation without getting in MY head, wow.
I'm waiting until September 14th (now it's August 22nd) when I'll turn 18 and I'll FINALLY be able to get help.
This comment gave me a lot of hope for the future, I feel so hugged right now, I just can't thank you enough.
I wish you luck on your journey and I can't say enough how proud I am of you for getting out of that rut!
She's such a genuine, sweet and intellectual woman. Glad I stumbled through her channel. Sending you lots of love, Jenn!
I loved this!
Been watching since your OG room tour / what’s in my bag when you were at college. Have been such a fan since then. This felt honest and cozy and true Jenn content, thank you ❤️
Absolutely love this Jenn, been a while since i've been this motivated :)
You are so inspiring! I have been having a hard time mentally and have been learning a lot about myself and watching your videos truly make me happy and make me want to do better for myself. Thank you for being you ❤️
OMG!! Jenn, I love when you talk about how you feel and how you have overcome that through the years, you make me feel inspired to take care of my mental health! You should do a podcast!!!
I really needed to hear this 🥺 I woke up today in such a bad mood, hating how I looked in the mirror. It was a reminder that I’m so hard on myself and give myself affirmations every once in a while. Thank you Jenn!
You girl! Jen loving these uploads from you. It’s Eid here and we’re stuck at home. So, your video made my Eid extra good. Love ya!
Thank you just being you Jenn!! Your authenticity and vulnerability is such a light during these times. I hope even in your darkest moments, you remember how great of a human being you are. Not because you do things perfectly or because of your success, but because of your resilience and beautiful heart. Thanks again for always being genuine and open with us; you provide such a safe space to connect, learn, and grow. I'm eternally grateful for you! Sending you lots of love and positive energy your way during these times
Thank you, as a almost 50 yrold woman and a mom, I have inly started to realized that it is my job to loe myself eventhough i have given lots of loe to everyone else. Coming from an abusive asian family to be told you are useless, etc..,i forgot that I am a precious human being that my kids and hubby always tell me. Tq this totally hit home
ughhh I love you so much!! your videos are honestly so refreshing and grounding and your growth inspired me to start my own channel!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, your positivity. Mean a lot to me. You're an inspiration Jenn. Thank you to be you. Love you🍀❤
I have cycled through so many youtubers I watch but Jenn, you have been one I’ve been subscribed to and watching for years now, since you were going to Davis. I appreciate and admire so much how you’re constantly looking to better yourself and challenging yourself to continually learn, even though there is zero pressure for you to do so. You’re truly an inspiration 🥺
I honestly love watching Jenn's vlogs, they're so calming and she's so inspiring in every aspect of life
Please don't stop uploading Jenn, you're such a huge inspiration and soul food to all of us who are wandering and feeling lost out there.
As someone who struggles with forgetfulness, I’ve definitely been getting into the habit of writing down my moments and feelings. Super helpful!
Omg Junie B Jonessss!!!🙌🏽🥰 same girl sameeee!
Jenn I respect you so much. You really try to improve yourself in so many aspects and I look up to that growth mentality.
I LOVE these kind of videos. Jenn you're making this hard time so beautiful and positive . Thank you ❤️
If you like the loose wave look, I'm a big fan of braiding your hair when it's barely damp and then letting it air dry. Has been my go-to when I'm lazy :)
You are literally such a role model. Such a beautiful, intelligent soul that always strives to improve herself. You're so relatable and grounded! I love you so much and appreciate these videos that you post. Where you're vulnerable and sharing flaws with us, motivating your viewers to change for the better as well
Jenn, I’ve watched you for years and at this point your videos feel like catching up with an old friend. I especially appreciate it now that we’re all social distancing. Much love! ❤️
This is so timely for my birtbday today. I've been way too anxious lately and watching your videos helped me ease my anxieties and remind myself that I'm good enough. So thank you, Jen! You've been such an inspiration to me ever since. 😊
I love your positivity but at the same time how relatable you are! Always showing us that you are not perfect either, like when you were impatient with the baking paper. So cute!
Sunday’s are the best😌 thank you for the reminder to be kinder to ourselves-it’s often hard to remember.
memory is the foundation of identity. 🥰 My Korean husband told me that the first half of life is about creating memories, and the second half is to reminisce. I think they link ! Thank you Jenn.
jenn is such an amazing person inside & out!! also love your tik toks, the fashion cartoon character was my fav!! ☺💕
Jenn’s big smile always motivate me to be happier and be optimistic!
I find myself writing when I am stressed or upset so I never go back to read it because it’s such a negative mindset. It just helps me get all the negativity out.
I am trying to remember to also write during positive mindsets so I can go back and enjoy reading those.
I saw it
I clicked on it
I’m just at the beginning of the vlog but I’m already happy to see you 🥰💗
Your videos always boost my joy in a day 🌸🌸
Love this, Jenn! Thanks for all the quarantine content. Your videos are always so chill and calming. Stay safe 🤍
LOVEEEE your vlogs! Your videos are a huge inspiration for my channel! Thank you💕
I can’t explain how much I needed this vlog. Love the flow of your vlog 💫.
Ah Jenn! It’s always so nice to see your growth on here - thank you for being so open and honest. It’s not easy putting ourselves out there, and I see you!!! 💖
i love watching your videos because there is always something I new I learn and I feel like your videos are so healing for my soul 🥰💓
Jenn, you are such an inspiration! I have been struggling with personal growth and watching you grow, motivates me to try harder 😊
I love your excitement towards the egg steamer! I grew up with one so it was normal to me but everyone was flabbergasted when they had eggs at our place. Some thought it was lazy, others thought it was mind blowing 😄💕
Jenn, it’s always great catching up with you. I used to journal pretty much everyday in my teens and that’s stopped in my 20s. I guess life gets so busy. Lately, I’ve been struggling with remembering simple things. You reminded me that writing does help the memory, even just to brain dump can improve retention.
The reason why I kept watching Jenn’s vlog since a long time until now because everything that she says is very THERAPEUTIC and she’s a very positive person which inspires me. If there’s a chance, I would like to meet her and I wanna let her give me some advise about life, and encouragement.💜
Your videos are always so calming. Feels like I‘m talking to the wise older sister I‘ve always wanted
Aaaah, Jenn. You're one of my role models. Watching you is literally part of my self-care
love your vlogs they’re so beautifully edited and relaxing
OMG!!!!!!! I was completely obsessed with both of those series also! Read them all in a flash back in third and fourth grade. NOSTALGIA!!!
Your story about your experience with the library in your youth is so relatable- it was a haven for reading and studying but definitely a love/hate relationship 😅
Jenn getting excited abt her boiled eggs is so cuteee
love these videos because they motivate me to be productive and it has been keeping me going this quarantine
When you said memory is key I cryed my mom has dementia and I wish she would have journaled so I could help her find her memory all’s we have now is false truth. I will definitely try this. I know later down the line I will reflect back on this time in my life. Love you Jenn 😘❤️
“Just put me to sleep” hahaha I though it was only me, it’s like 6 pm and I’m like really! Only six! can the day end already!? I love hearing about others quarantine thoughts, makes me feel accompanied 😅
Jenn's thoughts are 💯. I always feel inspired and motivated after watching her vlog. Love lots, Jenn!!!
LOL! That egg thing! I can't make space for just an egg gadget but how cool with the stabbing and no cracks/leaks!
You're amazing Jen, love your positive energy in all your videos 💛
Hey Jenn, I’ve only got through 7 minutes of the video so far but your thoughts on journaling resonates with me a lot. I have been journaling since I was in primary school but they always got read by my parents and that was scary for me. Now that I’m older I can finally trust my parents not to read my private thoughts but over the past 3 years, about 5 journals including the one I have now have all been repetitive on negative thoughts dumping on page after page. It’s not healthy and I’ve noticed even though a something happens to me, I always end up writing up to a point where I blame myself and my conduct just me. I always write out crazy to do lists for myself which I never get done because after all that dumping I need a million and 1 things to get done to make myself feel better. I still journal that way but I think it’s important to be kind to yourself. I’ll write down some silly affirmations as I am towards the end of this journal 😋 hopefully it’ll get better. I think I should write my pages in the morning rather than the evening as well as I tend to do that. I manage to start my day well, but by the middle of it I’m pressuring myself to get too much done it just depresses me into writing what a failure I am. And these are all repetitive even from 2/3 years ago, my negative thoughts are word for word the same somehow. Thank you for your thoughts on this as I can’t afford therapy right now and journaling helps contain my emotions. Okay now I’ll watch the rest 😌🥰
i enjoyed this so much ! your videos always leave me feeling calm and inspired
Hi Jenn! Thank you so much for inspiring me while we are in quarantine. It helps me a lot to feel good vibes and avoid negativity. Thank you so much.
Been binge watching ur vlogs! They’re so therapeutic🥰
Love this, jenn! I keep on smiling while watching this video. You are such an inspiration! ❤️
i’ve loved the content you’ve been putting out during quarantine, you seem refreshed and well rested :)
thank you for existing! love you!❤
This video feels like catching up with a sister that I never had ❤️
I really loved the idea of affirming myself. I really don't do that often and it's something that I really need to start doing.
Hiii Jenn! I super enjoy watching your videos like this especially the ones I can really relate to. Love your style and being so well spoken. It attracts me to start reading myself to enhance my vocabulary. Love you!
You give out so much positivity through your videos!! It really helps me cope up with my situation 💓💓💓💓love you and keep posting more vlogs 💓
Jenn, I literally don't understand why you don't have a podcast!!! You make such great, positive and thought-provoking points that generally make my day!
So excited for a new video
Thank you for videos Jenn, they always brighten my day!
Always looking forward to such wholesome content, thank you so much Jenn!! 🤎
Hey Jenn🤗 I've never liked vlogs cause I found them kind of boring but yours are so light-hearted and interesting to watch, as you discuss on so many topics and try new things I end up learning something new each time. I really appreciate all your content you've been putting out. Your videos are really thought provoking but at the same time so delightful!! It's like chatting up with an old friend. Love that about you💜
This video could not have come at a better time. These past few days I've come to the striking revelation that a lot of my depression and anxiety stems from self-loathing. I need to forgive myself for the mistakes I've made in the past and learn to love myself more.
You're so wise and positive and this video is honestly ALL i need during quarantine!
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR DAD!!
This is the emotional intelligence we needed. yes yes yes Jenn I love this
aww love jen so much!!❤️i love how you edit your videos and have really inspired me to start my own channel!
everything you said about your high school writing and reading struggles is EXACTLY how i feel rn. you voiced what i was feeling SO WELL
I love that the egg cooker made you so excited because it is probably the most impressive thing I’ve seen ever!!!
Am I the only one thinking that Jenn is just glowing in this vlog ? Like girl you radiate positive energy ☀️
I so need one of these giant transparent mugs for the liters of tea I drink!! I love getting inspo from your videos! Happy belated birthday to your Dad! May was also a big milestone for mine, as he turned 80. While I couldn't be in France to celebrate, I edited eight fan videos on some of his favorite movies and songs, and I could watch his reaction live on Skype, so we made it work despite the distance! Your discussion of fashion reminded me how much I want some new summer tops!
You speaking of the library just reminded me of all the time I would spend at the library or bookstore with my grandmother. She really got me into reading and as a young kid (before I could really read) she would always read to me or my mom would. My grandmother would always bring me around books, though. She also got me really interested in Asian culture and food, and got me hooked on anime. Oh sweet memories ❤️
“Just let it flow, baby!” Omg you’re so cute lol
Idk why but when I see you I just feel much better and relaxed and happy 🐰🌼❤️
I can't wait for the day I can buy a book written by Jenn
LOLOL! Baby steps!
your videos always brighten my day!! love you :)
you are an inspiration. im loving these self-help videos
this is my first time watching you and i’m already obsessed
LOVE U JENN!
I spent almost like an hour finding this video/channel because I forgot your name and I needed it🥺 I'm glad I found it again!!
thanks for being an inspiration to my channel. you keep me going jenn 🤍 i love you!
i love your vlogs
