Hey everyone ♡ Thought I’d share an honest snapshot of my life at the moment! What’s your schedule like right now?
Jenn Im my schedule is nonexistent haha! Just classwork! When finals end next week I don’t know what I’ll do with myself! 😂
Very nice video
thank you for not cursing!
Also have you checked out the enneagram? I think you are a four wing three! It’s a great resource to learn more about yourself :)
I've been trying to stay sober throughout this experience so I can really be at peace and in tune with my emotions and figure out what I want to do with my life. I have a 24 oz steel water bottle so I try to drink 2 of them a day. I only allow myself one glass of my favorite wine from Costco on Friday with my evening show. I'm 23 years old, so I need to do some planning and realize who i want in my life and who I don't! So I often set aside my morning tea time for an hour of meditation, or just starring at my lovely window with a cup of coffee with my creamer. I've also been making it a personal goal of mine to play piano for at least 15 minutes everyday after my afternoon jog at around 2:30pm everyday (I used to take NYSMMA Level 5 piano lessons back in high school, so I've been slowly re learning my old literature.) I'm also going to start studying for the GRE Monday and look at graduate programs!
love how he treated her like a princess in the wegarden. Making sure she has pens ready, having a little bin next to her, readying all the wifi and the like... so kind of him
Seriousy... T__T What did I do to deserve him?!
অনেক ভালো এবং সুন্দর লাগতেছে
So sweet. ❤️ Love Ben! He is such a sweetheart! ☺️
@@imjennim what made you look like a princess in his eyes is simply being your own self.
so cute
“the wifi.. you’re actually already logged in because you live here” 😂😂😂
Very nice and beautiful comment thank you very much
The fact that you are experiencing the despair in the evenings is part of why you are enjoying the mornings more, you are noticing and appreciating your uplifted spirit more because the stark contrast of what your emotions are doing at night. This is why we should be thankful for all our emotions. Because if we were all happy all of the time, none of us would be. You probably know this Jenn but I'm leaving it here for anyone who needs this little nugget today. 💛
Wow! This really puts things into perspective! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice comment আল্লাহর সুন্দর লাগতেছে কমেন্ট
Thanks for typing this out! Made me realize what I’ve been going through every day. Makes me feel more grateful for our full range of emotions as humans... wow. Thank
@@everyone the whole world lies in the power of the wicked one ( 1john 5 : 19 )
Hey Jen, despite never commenting on youtube, just wanted to share: I've followed your channel for years, and I'm currently working as a resident physician in the ICU. Thank you for your concern and thoughts for the situation in hospitals, I really appreciate your empathy. I also note in the video you voiced frustration at feeling helpless and wishing you could help more. Just wanted to say that when I come home after a long day at the hospital, I sometimes put your vlogs on in the background - something about the calmness and positive you emulate in your videos and its part of some of the things I do to destress. So though its a very small way, you are a big help and I appreciate the work and thought you put into your content. :) I appreciate you!
Thank you SO much for the work that you and your esteemed colleagues do - you are putting your own life at risk to service your community and patients. Thank you, thank you! Know that the entire world appreciates you and sees all medical workers as heroes during this time.
Thank you for everything you guys do. You guys are the world's heroes ❤
I absolutely love with Jen and Ben eat something and just immediately turn to look at each other wide eyed with a “MMMHHH”
Thanks Ivana!
"communicating with our eyes" is such a cute moment :) xx
This was the cutest thing ever!!
The eyes are the windows to the soul~
Awesome beautiful comment
People really do. You can sense a love between two people when you see their eye gaze.
Jenn you’re a freaking boss. How do you manage to pull out so many amazing vlogs and videos throughout this time at home ?! Your videos are so refreshing to watch even when you’re just staying at home !
OMG I’ve been feeling that evening sudden despair hit too!! The moment the sun sets I feel awful and so alone and just want to sleep to get the night over with. I thought it was just me, so I’m really glad you brought it up cuz now I feel more validated.
Same....
I feel you, Tina!
Tina Feng me too!!! thought it was just me who dreaded night time! so glad people feel the same.
Omg me too, I can’t believe this is a thing ppl are experiencing. Thanks for raising it up 👍
Guys, it is the effect of coffee! In the morning, coffee makes us feel focused and happy and full and refreshed. This is because caffeine molecules bind to adenosine receptors and block tiredness and enhance our mood. At night is when the caffeine wears out and we experience the opposite effect. I noticed this when I used to drink coffee. Try having less coffee or no coffee at all, this made me more consistent throughout the day.
I actually really love seeing this domestic side of you, Jenn! This video was so lovely, and it was so cute seeing how sweet and funny Ben is...you’ve got a good guy there! And your filming and editing style managed to make social distancing look glamorous somehow. But you always make sure to be real at the same time, so I don’t feel like your lifestyle is out of reach or unattainable like with other RUclipsrs. Stay safe and keep up the great work! 💕
your relationship with your husband reminds me a lot of Claudia Sulewski and Finneas'! your connection and compatibility is undeniable and you seem to be so laid back and easy going around each other! 💙
Ben is the sweetest. He loves and cares about you so much. It’s so genuine. I just couldn’t help noticing..
Ben doing this for you because he knew you were feeling down is the most heartwarming thing! you two are so cute. his kindness reminds me a lot of my boyfriend who I'm missing so much right now as we can't see one another 💛hope you're feeling better!
Your relationship is amazing I understand what « soulmate » means when I see you both
I love your relationship and seeing the love and kindness you show each other. 💙 Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your lives 😘
love the random clip when you just say:
"looks clean, but smells dirty?!" sounds like an ad hahaha
Maybe it is? ;)
Such a relaxing vlog from beginning to end 💕 & I LOVE how natural the Kosas tinted face oil looks on you! Miss you so much.
Okay I teared up at the wegarden. To have a partner who notices when your mood changes and actually goes above and beyond to make you feel better. That’s amazing and that’s the kind of love everyone deserves 🥺
I laughed at the part where Ben introduced the ‘Leftovers’.He is hilarious
So happy Chloe Ting is getting the recognition she deserves! Her workouts changed my life!
Doing her workout Everyday too. And it helps me so much with losing weight even when I’m stuck at home! :)
Me too! been watching her since her less than a thousand views. ❤️❤️❤️
i started laughing when jenn’s face started to change into pure discomfort as she got closer to realising that dalgona needs instant coffee and not ground coffee :’) i feel you jenn i did the exact same thing but instead it took me 10 mins of whisking my arm off before i realised the mistake i made HAHAH
Nur Sabrina omg me too. And then I spent 10 min mixing the right ingredients by hand and my arm hated me 😂
Sighhh 10 minutes we'll never get back! Hahah!
অনেক ভালো সুন্দর কমেন্ট
Mine was 30 mins before i gave up realizing it was a fail. Haha but achieved it on my second try
This is the ratio for dalgona😂🇰🇷
COFFEE : SUGAR : HOT WATER
1 : 1 : 1
Sending love from Seoul, Korea💕
Dalgona is Korea's sweet candy that was popular since like 80's!
Yep pretty sure she did that right, it's just she used ground coffee instead of instant coffeeXD
I loooove Dalgona coffee, it's so pretty to look at and tastes really good!
Christine Lee Yes I love Dalgona coffee!! me and my sister actually tried making Dalgona coffee here in Korea!! we also filmed a video on it 👍it taste sooooogood😊
I definitely relate to what you're describing Jen and it's a relief to know I'm not the only one.. I get excited for all the rituals in the morning, and by the time it's afternoon / evening I feel a strange feeling of emptiness and sadness. I think what's missing is human connection as well as a sense of productivity from work-- without those things occupying the majority of our day, being at home and being able to relax is much less appealing in the night. That, and also knowing there's nothing different happening the next day.
I’ve been feeling really down - actually hitting some really tough lows of depression because I’ve lost my job and I’m stuck in nyc away from my friends & family in California. The situation here feels really heavy. It’s hard for me to venture out of the house for a walk even because it causes so much anxiety. Thank you for this video. It brought some light back into my day and re-energized me. I’m happy you have Ben. I hope I can find a partnership like yours one day. Anyway, sending love & light your way Jenn.
Dev wow I lost my job and I am stuck in California away from my friends and family in New York! Let’s switch places haha
Thinking about you both and wishing you well.
I'm laughing so hard when Ben's explaining the leftovers 🤣 You both just lighten up my day.
Ben is just so fun and silly. I see why you two get along so well. Love seeing you guys together.
Jenn asking Ben, “do you eat it like that?”, when it’s also his first time trying it as well 😭 this is so me when I’m trying new things with my SO lol
LOLOL! Trying to get confirmation first.
অনেক ভালো সুন্দর কমেন্ট
ahhah this is so true... even when a movie is new to me aaand my bf... i still ask him what's going to happen throughout the entire flick
Love your videos! Such good content!! It feels like you really put hard work on explaining how you feel, getting organized, teaching how to cook, how to be more productive, work outs... I have to be honest when I watch vlogs from other RUclipsrs sometimes it feels like a waste of my time. But your way to edit and the things that you choose to show us make me feel a lot better like I’m learning !! So thank you so much Jenn!! Also the cutest couple to watch 🥰🥰
jenn I relate so much to your awareness of your positive, hopeful mood in the mornings and the contrast that you experience at night. I've never been able to articulate that to myself but I feel the same way honestly. happy to know that i'm not alone in that feeling and that there isn't anything wrong with the feeling either!
I love how much you enunciate your words. I do that too and people make me feel so unusual about it.
Can't believe how your videos never fail to make me feel inspired to improve my health, motivation and mindset about many things. Thank you Jenn, I really love your videos! Know that the effort you put in is definitely worth it!
I am Korean who's never been to the USA. and I want to let you know that you are one of the most adorable people I've seen on RUclips. the first clip I saw, you talked about difficulties of being a Korean American. From then on, I've been a fan. There's just something about you that captivates people
Jenn, I feel the same about mornings. I wake up and I do so many things, and then in the evening the anxiety hits and I'm just... not ok. You're not alone in this
I think Jenn has a lot more stress and anxiety than I originally thought. She does a good job of talking about it and not letting it define her, it's very admirable. During this time it's important to reflect and be truthful, but it's imperative that you're being honest with yourself.
I had to pause the vlog and come and say: I love seeing Ben in his office doing his thing. So happy for you both!
girl I can relate so strongly to your "neurotic" scheduling! setting a schedule for myself every night has made me feel so much productive and at peace :) love uu!
Love these types of videos Jenn!🌈thanks for taking us through your day ✨
Been watching Jenn since her and Sarah recorded in the backyard and it's just so lovely to see how much she's grown and still stayed so sweet; something about her videos is always comforting yet also motivating. I just hope she knows how much support she has, Jenn if you see this, ty for continuing to make content is such a stressful time! ☺️☺️
Hourly schedules are so USEFUL.
I understand the joy that comes from knowing exactly what I'm doing to do with my day.
I'm working from home right now and as soon as my day is over, my brain is like 'right! what can I organise now?' and it feels so... relaxing 😅
Ben narrating the dinner leftovers and then moving the camera to your reaction was priceless. Your laugh! So cute.
Hey Jenn, I was having such a bad day, I couldn't properly focus on my online lectures nor study for my exams, I didn't even wanna play videogames or read...it has been such a dull day. Your vlog really cheered me up, you're so genuine and real, it seems like having a friend speaking through a screen. Hugs from Italy
Oh! I love your little moment with cheekie at 0:10 when she takes a look at you and when you start watching her she's so happy you noticed her. 😍 Reminds me of my little frenchie 😢
Oh my God Jenn your videos help me so much in these difficult times, give me a lot of peace. Thank you. Love from Brazil
Girl, you ain't neurotic! I do this every week, starting on Monday and I take some time to plan out my week, including times for work, exercise, and play/chill (aka Animal Crossing time and exploring new recipes). I break it down by the hour on my calendar, but allow myself the flexibility to use it as a mere guide so I can try to get the things I want to get done throughout the week without getting too distracted, just like you! :)
wishing you all the best during all of this social-distancing. love watching your videos! def keeping me sane through these times.
these videos are one of my small joys, tbh.
Y’all are so healthy for Each other. Your husband seems so joyful and dedicated to you.
I love watching your videos from home so much, they give me positive feelings and joy, some sort of hope! Thank you Jenn!
I also feel much more hopeful in the mornings. I use to be miserable at the start of the month but I told myself to just take the day slowly. I don’t have to do or expect to be occupied every minute
Watching you and Ben makes me so happy.. 😭 I feel like there is so much focus on heartbreak these days so seeing you guys happily together gives me hope 💛
Looool your description of Animal Crossing made me laugh so hard. You're spot on, I'm getting stressed about terraforming 😂
I haven't even gotten to terraforming and it's already a lot! Hahaha!
I love your channel so much. So wholesome and calming, I could listen to you for hours!
awe, almost cried when ben came thru for you! Im so happy there' s one less lonely girl in the world who find the perf guy for her!!! Wish you all the best
I agree with the evening mood. It must be good to achieve things in the morning to feel deserved to get some reward in the afternoon or evening. Thank you for various contents and fresh vibe in every video!!
This was the perfect video to have on in the bg while getting some house chores done. Love the chill vibes!
You are one the few youtubers I enjoy watching still - think I started following you like over 7 years ago xD but I love how you're still the same chilled out Jen!
I love you two as a couple. You guys just get each other and are on the same page. Its so cute!
Finally, someone relates to my scheduling habit! I've been doing it ever since the quarantine in my city started, and I haven't gone stir crazy yet. Sometimes, I feel bad when I don't follow my schedules, but as weeks pass, I learned not to beat myself over if I can't finish the tasks I wrote for the day because after all, we are in uncertain times and there are many more days yet to come.
First of all, you are so gorgeous and you inspired me with this video to be nicer to myself. You are going through a lot of the same things and emotional waves. I also love that you switch things up, and practice mindfulness throughout your day. I am going to challenge myself to take mental health more seriously in the coming weeks!
My favorite thing about watching you and Ben eat is the way you nod so fast and stare at each other when the food is super good 😂 every. single. time!
thank you for launching this book club! You’ve inspired me to read more and i had always hoped one day you would create a book club because i love your recommendations and hearing you talk about your new reads.
Driver here. You may never see this, but your vlogs do so much. I need this distraction but also this where I know I’m not alone here. It’s the weirdest thing to think everyone is going through some form of it. But anyway thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I totally relate to what you said about the evening feeling empty and helpless. I have shifted my entire sleeping schedule to waking around 6 am and sleeping around 9-10 pm because of it!
Nighttime for me is always heavy, Depression, panick attacks, always happening at night. Night for me is a struggle right now. My mind has always been hyperactive at night all my life and the more time I have the more I overanalyze things and situation. I've noticed I cannot go to bed without hours of RUclips that shut my mind up which is... Not good for your health. Used to live nighttime and early mornings. When good and bad things happen at night it's a struggle, I feel you Jen.
the ben and jenn dynamic is soooo sweet!! i hope you guys are safeee
"communicating with our eyes" YOU guyssss are so adorable :((
Jenn I totally understand that feeling of heaviness in the evenings! Sending love and strength
I absolutely love every single one of your videos jen! they are so comforting and making me feel warm inside. definitely needed in times like these. thank you 💓
These vlogs recently having been bringing my heart so much joy during these sad and scary times. I love watching these little moments of your day, real and honest :)
most people on the internet: whisks the dalgona ingredients with hand, torturing themselves
jenn: calmly and casually takes her kitchenaid out- humans are meant to use proper tools! hope you're staying safe jenn 🌷
I'm solution oriented!!
অনেক ভালো সুন্দর কমেন্ট
Most people don't have that much money to buy a KitchenAid sooooo🤷🏽♀️
Actually this "Dalgona coffee" is something that has been made here in Brazil for many years and we call it popularly "café cremoso", but we always used mixer or kitchenaid to make it. Honestly, I had never seen anyone try to do it in such a manual way before, at least not until it became famous around the world. The kitchenaid is certainly the most effective way to do this.
Victoria Lewis well, you don’t need to buy the most expensive one.
you’re such a perfect example of a virgo. I relate to you so much! always take care, jenn 🤍
jenn, thanks for keeping it real. i’ve been having a tough time with not feeling down every day and listening to your thought processes was helpful.
Sooooo in love with your BGM in every video!!!!!!! Almost add every song in my playlist!
Love how Ben narrates the leftovers like it is the most exciting game of the history and those vegetables just won the biggest match of all time!
Seriously Jenn your videos are so calming and so inspiring during this dark time. Thank you😊❤️🙏🏾
Jenn thank you for your positivity! You are so cute and kind, and your videos make my day better! Thank you
Thanks for this video! It was exactly what I needed right now! Love you so much 🥰
Love seeing how much more comfortable Ben has gotten on the camera compared to when he first moved in with you. props to him! Wishing you guys the best
I've been writing out my schedule for the next day every night before bed too, even though I basically do the same thing every single day. It really helps my Virgo brain feel comfortable haha.
Choosing to feel grateful and happy despite how we feel is such a good, mature state to be in!
your vlogs are so soothing & comforting to watch
I really feel what you said about coming to the end of a productive day at home and getting hit with the despair and reality of the situation. My mind is blank and I feel lost at night, no matter how much I workout, clean, or stay busy during the day.
I love how Jenn talks about animal crossing/mortgages/shaking up trees like it’s real life serious business 😭💕 so cute & wholesome
hi jenn! i really enjoy watching your videos and you always keep me motivated to do stuff. i hope you continue being a source of happiness and motivation for people. i love you ♡
You two are such an adorable power couple, it's inspiring. I truly appreciate your existence in this world.
I soooo agree with the evenings being especially hard! I just feel some type of way at night and it's definitely difficult.
I honestly feel the same way. I always feel so refreshed in the morning and once the sun goes down I get almost depressed
So excited for this book club! You have the BEST suggestions.
Hi Jenn,
My family owns a small restaurant in West Covina. It can be hard going into work everyday, but it is nice to hear you shout of the small businesses :)
yess i am obsessed with those peaceful korean vlogs you mentioned as well!!! X
Ben is just a great guy :) I'm glad you got a well-rounded and kind guy to call your own. Also, the weight of the world can feel so heavy sometimes. The best thing to remember is that there are things we can control and things we cannot. Do your best to be a great help and influence to those you can whether that is in your family, community, or on your platform and be at peace knowing that you've done your part. Everyone feels your love and you have done more than enough. :) O and I loooove the korean every day vlogs. I'm obsessed.
Jenn, I think I feel the same way as you about feeling despair at night. I wasn't sure what exactly is wrong with me but I think you hit the nail on the head.
Omg the AC responsibilities are so relatable. I ended up stressed about these virtual tasks that I dropped it altogether, for a while now!
I love the way they look at each other with raised eyebrows and wide eyes when they like something they eat lol
nour it’s the cutest!!
You and Ben bring me so much happiness and joy. He reminds me of my boyfriend always finding little ways to make me happy!
I love how you and Ben rate your food by just making different "Hmm" noises and moving your head. ITS SO CUTE AND LOVELY!!! (someone please make a compilation!!!)
So happy whenever you upload new videos! It’s just so nice that you share your day with us and there’s always something NEW :) thanks Jenn! 🤍
I so feel you on what you had to say about animal crossing. I work as a certified nursing assistant in a hospital and a nursing home. Because of my job as an essential worker, I would feel so drained after work and just have no motivation to play animal crossing. I started to see it as a grind, just as you described it! It's so nice to hear that I am not the only one who feels that way. LOL! Thank you for this vlog and all your content! Hehe
Hi Jenn!! I’m like you in that I like routine too. Even on the weekends, I have notes on what I want to do during the day. Working out has been my life line during this quarantine. Also I love your relationship with Ben, it warms my little heart. Glad you are all well!!
Thanks for the video! I’m so negative right now! I usually don’t watch your video when I’m depressed and full of negative thoughts, cuz I feel like I don’t deserve it. Glad I did today, you make me feel a lot better.thanks
Crash Landing On You is the best K drama I’ve seen in a long time! S Korean heiress crashes into N Korea and a solider there tried to get her back safely and will they fall in love? Dun dun dun. Great character development and storyline!
Late to the game, but loved watching this! My schedule is going into work for 10-11 hours (I’m a nurse) going home to my hubs and pup, making dinner, working out and animal crossing 😅 we hike on weekends when I’m not too tired!
