Ah heck yeah, new video! haha It is a productive chore day for me between the house, cooking, and the baby. Thanks for putting your description box in the comments, too. RUclips's upgrades are actually downgrades.
@itsjessicabraun regarding the lawless lip oils my lips for the 1st time in my life got some weird type of scabs or extreme dry patches on my lips while using it, I stopped and healed, then again use them and patches appeared again. Definitely the lawless lip oils are not the best.
Jess, feel free to cry on camera anytime. Literally we are all right there with you. It’s encouraging to see that I’m not the only one struggling. And yes, therapy helps a lot. Hugs. ❤
Yes I also needed this. I’m going through a stage where I really dont have any friends at all and its hard but i know its just a phase and I’m definitely praying to find some friends that live close by
I agree. They inspire me to do the same. To do all categories at once feels overwhelming and less motivating for me personally. I like the idea of doing a little bit here and there and making continual progress instead of all at once. I'll enjoy seeing your process regardless, though! Definitely do as much or as little at a time as you like! 😊 💄
I’m so glad you didn’t restart the video & you let yourself be vulnerable with us. I have always loved you & this is one of the reasons I love you so much. You are so relatable and honest. Thank you for always sharing. 🥰🩷
My makeup chores always end up being a swatch party and my arms are covered in various products and shades….nothing ever gets accomplished but I fall in love with products I forgot about so that is nice lol
I own a nartial arts school and I teach the kids classes...it helps SO MUCH with focus, discipline , respect, confidence and the physical and self defense aspect is obviously awesome for them. If she likes it keep bringing her! It's so great for kids!
I agree! I did martial arts for 10 years. I got my black belt and everything! It's still to this day one of the biggest accomplishments I've ever done! I started when I was 11 and it was one of the absolute best things my parents ever did for me! I loved it so so much & I wish I was still doing it. It really does teach you important life skills & really helped me focus. I struggle with ADD & it helped me so much. That's awesome you teach the kids! They are just the cutest too 💛
I agree too! I did martial arts all of high school and it was amazing. I enjoyed it, it kept me healthy, and it taught me things like motivation, discipline, hard work, etc.
As a woman and owner of a Taekwondo school, I am so jazzed to hear how excited Gigi is! Girls do so well in martial arts and we need more of them! Hope she loves it 💕
I love you even more for your candor in this vlog about tough emotional times. Life comes in waves and it’s so important to acknowledge that we all have our ups and downs!
Jess, it’s precisely FOR your humanity that we love you! Thank you for always just being you.…Also, random compliment: thank you for looking at the camera instead of constantly looking at yourself in the viewfinder. It drives me bonkers when content makers are so stuck in their heads and egos, looking at themselves all the time. Your confidence and openness are beautiful!
Jess, you made me cry! When you’re vulnerable and share your struggles and trials, it creates a safe place for us to be vulnerable. Don’t ever apologize for being human! We’re all doing our best trying to survive and thrive in life. I would definitely recommend seeing a therapist on a regular basis. We’ve never been taught how to cope with being an adult. It’s a lot sometimes and we need to fortify our mental strength before those low times come in. We need to become mentally, emotionally,spiritually and physically stronger. Therapy is a wonderful way to not only help yourself but also your children. What a wonderful example you are showing your children by going to therapy. Hang in there mama! You’re stronger than you know and you can get through whatever challenges you’re facing. Thank you for being my “comfort RUclipsr” I’m sending you a big hug and lots of love ❤
One of the first things I remember reading about stress and emotional wellbeing is that events in your life that are joyful and exciting are just as exhausting as going through a major trauma. We are all grateful for the wonderful things in our lives, but the highs can cause burnout as much as the lows. These events and changes take a toll on our bodies in a very visceral way. It's okay to be exhausted, to cry, to feel overwhelmed. Once you factor in the stress and worry of negative experiences as well, you start to realise that there is a valid reason for experiencing low moods. Take care of yourself x
I used to follow you YEARS ago when you were jambeauty89, you were my comfort RUclipsr back then until I stopped wearing makeup as much. Now I’m pregnant and rediscovered your channel through your 2nd pregnancy videos and now you’re a comfort all over again! Binging all the years I missed. 💛
There was a two year stretch pre covid where we lost 9 family members. And the random sads hit hard sometimes. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that with us. I was a mess and had to finally ask for help. Take care of yourself and take breaks when you need them. ❤
Thank you for your honesty. I have felt down at times out of the blue and you are right it happens when you aren’t doing anything and your head wonders. What I usually do is start cleaning lol then I say a prayer and feel much better. I have noticed it happens a week before my period so. You are not alone. Many hugs and ❤️ sent your way.
Thanks for being real and sharing a lower point. I feel like it is important to shine a light that those times do exist in everyone’s lives. Love you girl! ❤
Aww! Seeing you cry breaks my heart. Please remember to be kind and patient with yourself. Take the time you need to cry and never apologize for it. We are all only human. The fact that you said maybe it’s time you saw a therapist again shows amazing insight on your part. It also shows great strength and courage. I am a Registered Nurse and often find myself doing some counseling but my advice to you is coming from my heart and I just want you to give yourself some grace.
I enjoyed chores and chats, it’s really really relaxing and relatable. Something that’s fun to have on in the background, I painted my nails and listened. I’ve had tears this week too, my big question is; why do we feel bad when we get upset? I don’t know if you feel this way but I always feel like I shouldn’t cry as an adult? I think there are a lot of people experiencing heaviness right now (myself included) you are not alone! We heart ❤ you, thanks for being you.
No matter what type of vlog you post, I’m here!! I’ve been watching you since you were pregnant with Genevieve!! It’s been so fun watching you and your family mature!! Especially the Christmas vlogs, SO good!! My oldest daughter, also a teacher, just moved from Seattle to Dallas. She’s excited to teach first graders. Previously she taught Kindergarten and second grade!! This will be her seventh year teaching!!
Thank you for sharing your hair journey. I went through this a few years back and it was devastating. This week I had my hair done by a professional hair dresser and it went green. She tried fixing it and helped a bit but still greenish. Your videos help me understand why it's so important for us to really know our hair and sometimes just make our own informed decisions. You are gorgeous and you're helping so many of us.
JESS!! Listen, I am just so excited for this video. I found your channel by looking for declutter videos on youtube, a couple of years ago and I subscribed instantly lol. These are honestly my favorite types of videos. 😁
Just thought I’d share that I used to also hate the rose inc blush due to the dry formula. I found that once I broke the top layers and really swirl in my brush to almost warm it up it was perfect. It’s now a blush I love Also the Dior forever concealer is now my holy grail. I put some on and tap it in with a dense flat brush. I’m having you use a foundation brush as I haven’t the perfect concealer brush. I let it dry a couple of seconds first and it’s great. I don’t even need to set with powder!
As a child I did martial arts for over about 12 years, and I 100% agree with Tae Kwon Do or similar being such a good activity for kids. Gigi might still be a little young to fully appreciate the whole meaning of that kind of thing, but she will definitely be learning focus, discipline and humility from day 1. I hope she likes it!
Jess your my #1 I love to watch your videos. Yes you are human and it’s nice to see your open and honest with us. I’ve been watching you for years and enjoy all and any videos you post. Remember your videos bring us immense joy all the time; they are calming and offer a sense of calmness. Your amazing & you have an amazing family. Much love Cheryl ❤
I could watch you, watch paint dry and if you were talking, I would be happy. I love listening to you, your thoughts, your philosophies, you are probably the only person who I hear talk about those things. You need to know I am really, really older than you, and right now both disabled and quite ill. I don't expect this to last as long as I do tho. LOL But I have barely been any where since COVID. BUT...I got my makeup ready for when I am better. In the meantime, you bring me joy! Let that be some comfort to you in your down times Jessica. I want to be you when I grow up! When your mind wanders and you need a hug, just say my name a you will have your virtual hug.
Hi Jess, absolutely working through burnout myself and if doing a full declutter will help you to gain a greater sense of control and reduce stress then I am absolutely here for it. When dealing with tough emotions please don’t hesitate to put yourself first until your cup is so full that you have something to give from, so don’t worry about us this time. Love the videos ❤ and I am wishing you a day full of peace and happiness.
I appreciate you being open about the “burnout” feel and how it can effect you. I have also had a very crazy year and hearing one of my favorite RUclipsrs touch on this subject oddly makes me feel better to know I’m not alone. ❤
I actually really appreciate when you, and other creators, are vulnerable. Obviously it’s important to have boundaries and whatever you choose not to share is okay, but I think there’s something really refreshing and even necessary in dismantling the unrealistic perceptions of life through the lens of social media. Even though most of us understand intellectually that people only show the best aspects of their lives, it can absolutely still make one feel insecure and inadequate. I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed and anxious lately, so thank you for making me feel less alone in those feelings ❤
No one is upbeat and positive all the time. It’s ok to show your emotions sometimes. Ipsy is definitely still a thing. My son and his fiancé got a subscription for me for Christmas. I’m loving that I get to try so many new things without having to buy full sizes. A long time ago I heard this: “People come in to your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime” I don’t remember where I heard but it certainly is true!! ❤️
Sunday afternoon is my makeup reset day. I wash my brushes every week, rotate what is in my makeup bag and wipe down makeup acrylic drawer( one small one). I also clean that bathroom at the same time.
I so appreciate that you’re able to be vulnerable with us! I think it’s so easy to forget that we often only see people’s highlight reel. Thank you for being so genuine ❤ love you Jess!
I’m a teacher and my husband is a principal, and we love Abbot Elementary! There are of course some unrealistic things (how long they have to sit around and chat with other teachers!) but there are so many true, relatable things with the current education climate.
I really appreciate your discussion on adult friendships. I graduated from college a year ago so managing and maintaining my adult friendships without the safety net of school has been interesting to navigate. Hearing your thoughts put a lot of my anxieties at ease :)
I am an every week day chicken salad kind of person. I have an airfryer, so I pretty much toss the chicken breasts, paprika, italian seasoning, and garlic powder, so, while I chop some cucumber, red bell peppers, cheese, and some grape tomatoes, it gets cooked. Also, on Mondays, I cook some farro or barley to add to the salad mix. I toss it all with some of those green mixes from the supermarket and it is done. Normally I don't add dressings, but every now and then I'll buy the CAVA tzatziki to add to my salad.
It is wild the way our hair changes as we age. Mine has gone from always stick straight to having some crazy curl. Regarding lunches, one of my quick lunch faves…take a can of chickpeas, roast in the oven and toss with your fave spice and olive oil (I like garam masala). Layer on pita bread with cream cheese or tzatziki sauce. Super quick, super yum.
Jessica, you’re human. Sometimes, we as adults,have big feelings too!! I know I do and I just turned 64. I really enjoyed this chores and chat! Please do more. I’ve been watching you for a couple years and I don’t know how this video got past me. lol really enjoyed ❤
I would literally watch anything you put out. I recently started watching you in the last few months and love you! You are relatable and I just love watching you. You keep doing you!
Thank you for being real. We’re all human. As you said, we all have stuff. You don’t know who you may help by being real and relatable. I know I admire you even more for it. ❤
Oof, Jess, I feel you so much on the random sads. It's truly just hard being a human. You bring so much encouragement and joy to my life though. Sending you guys big hugs and hearts ❤
I love that you showed a vulnerable side of yourself. Nobody's life is perfect. Peace and happiness take work! My favorite lunches are peanut butter and crackers or just some slices of deli meat and cheese. Heavy lunches and a desk job definitely don't mix for me lol
Trying to catch up after traveling so am just now seeing this. Jess, this chores and chats visit was just what I needed. Please continue this series. I love a good declutter but prefer they be spread out so I can see more. ❤
I watch all your videos! I liked this style of video because that’s what I usually do too! I either get ready with your video or fold laundry! Declutter is a must b/c it makes me declutter my own stuff whether it’s makeup or clothes.
Sending love and hugs! This was a great video. Burnout, especially for full-time working mamas, is real. Thank you for being so vulnerable and know that you are not alone.
it must be a mid year thing some of us get with feeling the need to declutter. I'm currently decluttering my whole house and just did it in December!! Love this video!!!
I’ve been going through a rough time with anxiety. It came out of nowhere and it’s been a struggle. Keeping busy definitely helps. It is worst at night and keeps me up. Fortunately my doctor started me on medication so hopefully I’m going to start feeling better soon.
Face sunscreen recommendation: Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Face Sunscreen. It’s SPF 50, comes in two shades, blends in so easily, is great alone or under makeup, and does NOT budge. I live in Arizona and have also used it in humid places like Hawaii. It’s THE BEST.
The Morning Show is INCREDIBLE! I agree, needs more buzz! I love that Apple is venturing into controversial topics and not being afraid to discuss them!
Jess, ive been a viewer for years and i just love your channel so much. Your videos, no matter what they are, always make me smile. Your so real and relatable. And everyone in the comments section are always so positive. Its just so refreshing. 💕 ps. I pray for mental peace often too. Life gets overwelming sometimes.
I am so happy that you did not restart but decided to include the part where you are vulnerable. As you say we all have something that we are struggling with and I appreciate you sharing your struggles ❤
Cry sesh in the video just made me feel how human you really are.❤ Convinced you're probably my favorite youtuber. Jess lots of love to you, youtubers are people too! PS do the declutter please, 2 hours long I don't care. I'm watching it. Love youuuuu
I feel like we all have those times when we feel sad or lonely or depressed. I cried this morning, then pulled myself together, I may cry more later, there's more good then bad in life, I feel it all if that makes sense.
Hugs I feel you totally on burn out at times. Thank you for being real with us. Just went to therapy again myself just because I understand this completely. You can do this! ❤
Really enjoyed this as always your energy is palpable and your personality contagious . Teary eyes help us . Makes us look at what’s going on inside we get insight that gives clarification for the journey !
Thank you for sharing your real moments. I’m a mom about your age and have had a year of a lot of changes and I’m really struggling even though I know I have a lot to be thankful for. So seeing that there’s someone out there feeling the same really helps.
This is a great video. Any declutter videos, I’m here for! Thank you for being real and for showing it all, glad you didn’t cut it out! You are super precious. Hugs and prayers of blessings
As far as quick lunches go, I’m all about meal prep because it’s the only way we eat healthy lunches. I’ll do a sheet pan meal with marinated chicken tenderloins, sweet potatoes and broccoli or something, sometimes it’s Asian meatballs with soba noodles and sautéed bok choy, chicken shawarma with quinoa and zucchini and tzatziki. I get creative with it and end up looking forward to healthy lunch every day. I work with my husband and prep enough for both of us for 4 days and we eat out on Fridays. It’s a good routine/balance for us.
I've wished for years that someone would do a chatty makeup brush cleaning video / series. I like cleaning my brushes and I like watching others do it too.
Sweety i feel you there is a lot going on in my live. And that had been for more than 11 years like that. I ask myself sometimes can i get a break. Its one thing after the other. I find you such a pure and onest person. And its good to let us see your emotions. It makes you human. And not fake you dont have to be cheerfull al the time. Maybe whe can help you in some way or the other. Maybe a nice comment or atvise. Love you and love watching you and your family. ❤❤❤
Video idea: a makeup look with items bought from social media ads - social media made me buy it! Also: thanks for being so authentic and sharing what’s going on/ how you’re feeling. We’re all here for you.
Love your vulnerability. You have a safe space here and we appreciate that you were real. We all feel it- sometimes it's a small moment that triggers it, but life lately is just HEAVY.
This channel and your content are just so down to earth. It's a good mix of vids I want to pay attention to and vids I can have in the background. Love your comments on burnout. Being an adult is hard!!
Lunch: In a Bowl: first layer rice, heated shredded chicken (i get the maple leaf kind), a bit of the dill pickle salad, boiled egg, avocado, some of the dressing from the dill pickle salad. It’s 5 mins to put together and so good. Tuna melts Leftovers
It’s been a minute since I’ve watched your videos but I’m so glad I came across this again! You are just so comforting and easy to listen to. I so appreciate you sharing your life and being here for me to come back to
One of my favorite lunches is a tahini quinoa bowl! I just do a bed of greens with some chickpeas, cooked quinoa, carrots, peppers, and tahini mixed in. I added ground turkey once, and even cooked sweet potato and it was so good!
I would love to see a collection reset declutter if you ask me. You could break it apart into categories or all at once. But honestly if you feel it would be nice to reset and start clean with only the products you really want to keep then do it for you! I'll watch anything you put out ❤❤
Don't ever apologize for crying in front of us! It shows that you are human and that your life is not perfect. It is good to know, so that we ourselves don't feel alone! I live watching your your vlig videos. Take care, xx
Loved so much of this convo! I see a therapist & sometimes it's regularly & other times it's for a "tune up". I've also started doing the square breathing exercise for 5 minutes to center myself, whether that's in the middle of the day or if I wake up in the middle of the night mind racing. 🙏🥰
My husband and I both work from home too. With 3 daughters being home for summer break, our workspace being cluttered and Florida heat keeping us inside… I totally get the burnout. It’s so hard 😩 We also just got back from a cruise just us adults so my mind is so oddly fogged and jumbled since coming back. I’m dying for some normalcy. Hope things get better for you 💗
Love so much Jess ❤you are my absolute fave RUclipsr and always look forward to watch you videos bc you’re a real person I mean you show yourself just as you are and that’s so amazing ❤thank you for that
100% having a now 15 month old a new wave of emotions have come up, I even googled if post partum could happen so long after having a baby, bc I didnt have any depression when she was born but started to get sad a few weeks ago, then I started to workout again got blood work done and found out my vitamin d is low and it turns out Vitamin D being low can cause depression and anxiety!!! I recommend getting your levels checked and hormones it helped me so much and I'm so much happier and with more energy
I have a black belt in Karate. I started when I was 5 and it was such a good memory and activity from growing up. The discipline, dedication and patience it required was great. I taught karate as well and I can see how it helped the kids mature from the start of the year to the end.
Ipsy still exists! My mom recently decluttered all her makeup (like 10+ years old…) and didn’t know where to start with her collection so she gets to try minis! And if she doesn’t like them, then she passes it to me. A win-win 😂
I’m single and never been married and don’t have kids or neices and nephews. The main time I’m around kids is at church. I teach 2 & 3 year old class. As a single with no kids I love spending time with families with kids. I just love children so much. I enjoy seeing yours in the videos too.
I'd love to see a big hardcore declutter - you did one of those some years ago and it really felt like getting a clean slate, editing to only the best of the best. Def would watch that :)
Thank you for didnt cut that moment 💜 I really understand about the friendships. It was very good question, indeed. I am almost 37 and me and my friends we are not that close anymore. Because just life happend and it is understandable, to me at least. (But there are some other people who just do not get it, my brother is an example. He is married and still do not accept it well, that ppl are getting busy with their lives, and more responsibilities, and that sometimes, as you said, our paths just separate and goind in different directions. He is blaming them and he is mad at them 😅 and he is even 1 year older than me.) About decluttering - I love the mezmerizing videos with big makeup collections and decluttering, but it is useful in another way when monthly I can get an update about what you like and with what you are not satisfied. So whatever you do, I will watch it with pleasure. I wish to you from my heart more peace and calmness for future ❣🫂
I have the same wavy hair as you and also found that highlighting really changes the texture of my hair which is why I’ve stopped after years. I love my lightened hair but definitely felt I always had to “do it” for it to look nice.
Let's do some makeup chores & chat while I answer your questions! We're going to declutter some beauty products, organize my makeup vanity, and shop my makeup collection stash!

Ah heck yeah, new video! haha It is a productive chore day for me between the house, cooking, and the baby. Thanks for putting your description box in the comments, too. RUclips's upgrades are actually downgrades.
@itsjessicabraun regarding the lawless lip oils my lips for the 1st time in my life got some weird type of scabs or extreme dry patches on my lips while using it, I stopped and healed, then again use them and patches appeared again. Definitely the lawless lip oils are not the best.
U
Absolutely love your pink tank you were wearing at the end!! Can I ask where its from!?
Girl declutter your collection even if they’re back to back or once every other week I’ll watch them
What you said!!!!😂
Totally agree!
Omg same

Jess, feel free to cry on camera anytime. Literally we are all right there with you. It’s encouraging to see that I’m not the only one struggling. And yes, therapy helps a lot. Hugs. ❤
For Sure!
Definitely!
Don’t be afraid to cry on camera.
Definitely! We are your friends!! ❤
Absolutely! I'm in therapy and take medication. I still feel overwhelmed and cry sometimes. Life is just too much to deal with sometimes.
Thanks for the chat regarding situational friendships. Made me feel less guilty about letting friendships fade away with changing circumstances.
I have always thought of them as seasonal friendships. Your seasons of life change and sometimes that means that friendships change with them. ❤
Agreed, I’m glad that I’m not the only one with situational friendships.
Yes I also needed this. I’m going through a stage where I really dont have any friends at all and its hard but i know its just a phase and I’m definitely praying to find some friends that live close by
I personally like when declutters are broken down by each category (face, blush, bronzer, etc.) I like the more dedicated and focused approach.
I agree. They inspire me to do the same. To do all categories at once feels overwhelming and less motivating for me personally. I like the idea of doing a little bit here and there and making continual progress instead of all at once. I'll enjoy seeing your process regardless, though! Definitely do as much or as little at a time as you like! 😊 💄
I agree
I’m so glad you didn’t restart the video & you let yourself be vulnerable with us. I have always loved you & this is one of the reasons I love you so much. You are so relatable and honest. Thank you for always sharing. 🥰🩷
My makeup chores always end up being a swatch party and my arms are covered in various products and shades….nothing ever gets accomplished but I fall in love with products I forgot about so that is nice lol
Same! 😁
LOL same
Same😂
I relate to this a lotttt lol
I own a nartial arts school and I teach the kids classes...it helps SO MUCH with focus, discipline , respect, confidence and the physical and self defense aspect is obviously awesome for them. If she likes it keep bringing her! It's so great for kids!
I agree! I did martial arts for 10 years. I got my black belt and everything! It's still to this day one of the biggest accomplishments I've ever done! I started when I was 11 and it was one of the absolute best things my parents ever did for me! I loved it so so much & I wish I was still doing it. It really does teach you important life skills & really helped me focus. I struggle with ADD & it helped me so much. That's awesome you teach the kids! They are just the cutest too 💛
I agree too! I did martial arts all of high school and it was amazing. I enjoyed it, it kept me healthy, and it taught me things like motivation, discipline, hard work, etc.
As a woman and owner of a Taekwondo school, I am so jazzed to hear how excited Gigi is! Girls do so well in martial arts and we need more of them! Hope she loves it 💕
I love you even more for your candor in this vlog about tough emotional times. Life comes in waves and it’s so important to acknowledge that we all have our ups and downs!
Girl, don’t apologize for your emotions, we all have them ❤️ and seeing you process yours inspires us to do the same ❤️
Jess, it’s precisely FOR your humanity that we love you! Thank you for always just being you.…Also, random compliment: thank you for looking at the camera instead of constantly looking at yourself in the viewfinder. It drives me bonkers when content makers are so stuck in their heads and egos, looking at themselves all the time. Your confidence and openness are beautiful!
Jess, you made me cry! When you’re vulnerable and share your struggles and trials, it creates a safe place for us to be vulnerable. Don’t ever apologize for being human! We’re all doing our best trying to survive and thrive in life. I would definitely recommend seeing a therapist on a regular basis. We’ve never been taught how to cope with being an adult. It’s a lot sometimes and we need to fortify our mental strength before those low times come in. We need to become mentally, emotionally,spiritually and physically stronger. Therapy is a wonderful way to not only help yourself but also your children. What a wonderful example you are showing your children by going to therapy. Hang in there mama! You’re stronger than you know and you can get through whatever challenges you’re facing. Thank you for being my “comfort RUclipsr” I’m sending you a big hug and lots of love ❤
Great video Jess, also give yourself a break..these are very stressful times for so many people, you are not alone
One of the first things I remember reading about stress and emotional wellbeing is that events in your life that are joyful and exciting are just as exhausting as going through a major trauma. We are all grateful for the wonderful things in our lives, but the highs can cause burnout as much as the lows.
These events and changes take a toll on our bodies in a very visceral way. It's okay to be exhausted, to cry, to feel overwhelmed. Once you factor in the stress and worry of negative experiences as well, you start to realise that there is a valid reason for experiencing low moods. Take care of yourself x
I love this perspective, thank you for sharing! ❤
I used to follow you YEARS ago when you were jambeauty89, you were my comfort RUclipsr back then until I stopped wearing makeup as much. Now I’m pregnant and rediscovered your channel through your 2nd pregnancy videos and now you’re a comfort all over again! Binging all the years I missed. 💛
There was a two year stretch pre covid where we lost 9 family members. And the random sads hit hard sometimes. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that with us. I was a mess and had to finally ask for help. Take care of yourself and take breaks when you need them. ❤
Thank you for your honesty. I have felt down at times out of the blue and you are right it happens when you aren’t doing anything and your head wonders. What I usually do is start cleaning lol then I say a prayer and feel much better. I have noticed it happens a week before my period so. You are not alone. Many hugs and ❤️ sent your way.
Thanks for being real and sharing a lower point. I feel like it is important to shine a light that those times do exist in everyone’s lives. Love you girl! ❤
YES!!!
Aww! Seeing you cry breaks my heart. Please remember to be kind and patient with yourself. Take the time you need to cry and never apologize for it. We are all only human. The fact that you said maybe it’s time you saw a therapist again shows amazing insight on your part. It also shows great strength and courage. I am a Registered Nurse and often find myself doing some counseling but my advice to you is coming from my heart and I just want you to give yourself some grace.
I feel like you accomplished a lot while chatting! Awesome! These tough times pass. Thank goodness! ❤
I enjoyed chores and chats, it’s really really relaxing and relatable. Something that’s fun to have on in the background, I painted my nails and listened.
I’ve had tears this week too, my big question is; why do we feel bad when we get upset? I don’t know if you feel this way but I always feel like I shouldn’t cry as an adult?
I think there are a lot of people experiencing heaviness right now (myself included) you are not alone!
We heart ❤ you, thanks for being you.
No matter what type of vlog you post, I’m here!!
I’ve been watching you since you were pregnant with Genevieve!! It’s been so fun watching you and your family mature!! Especially the Christmas vlogs, SO good!!
My oldest daughter, also a teacher, just moved from Seattle to Dallas. She’s excited to teach first graders. Previously she taught Kindergarten and second grade!! This will be her seventh year teaching!!
Thank you for sharing your hair journey. I went through this a few years back and it was devastating. This week I had my hair done by a professional hair dresser and it went green. She tried fixing it and helped a bit but still greenish. Your videos help me understand why it's so important for us to really know our hair and sometimes just make our own informed decisions. You are gorgeous and you're helping so many of us.
JESS!! Listen, I am just so excited for this video. I found your channel by looking for declutter videos on youtube, a couple of years ago and I subscribed instantly lol. These are honestly my favorite types of videos. 😁
I love your vlogs so much. You’re so real and I appreciate that.
Just thought I’d share that I used to also hate the rose inc blush due to the dry formula. I found that once I broke the top layers and really swirl in my brush to almost warm it up it was perfect. It’s now a blush I love
Also the Dior forever concealer is now my holy grail. I put some on and tap it in with a dense flat brush. I’m having you use a foundation brush as I haven’t the perfect concealer brush. I let it dry a couple of seconds first and it’s great. I don’t even need to set with powder!
As a child I did martial arts for over about 12 years, and I 100% agree with Tae Kwon Do or similar being such a good activity for kids. Gigi might still be a little young to fully appreciate the whole meaning of that kind of thing, but she will definitely be learning focus, discipline and humility from day 1. I hope she likes it!
Jess your my #1 I love to watch your videos. Yes you are human and it’s nice to see your open and honest with us. I’ve been watching you for years and enjoy all and any videos you post. Remember your videos bring us immense joy all the time; they are calming and offer a sense of calmness. Your amazing & you have an amazing family. Much love Cheryl ❤
I could watch you, watch paint dry and if you were talking, I would be happy.
I love listening to you, your thoughts, your philosophies, you are probably the only person who I hear talk about those things. You need to know I am really, really older than you, and right now both disabled and quite ill. I don't expect this to last as long as I do tho. LOL But I have barely been any where since COVID. BUT...I got my makeup ready for when I am better. In the meantime, you bring me joy! Let that be some comfort to you in your down times Jessica. I want to be you when I grow up! When your mind wanders and you need a hug, just say my name a you will have your virtual hug.
Hi Jess, absolutely working through burnout myself and if doing a full declutter will help you to gain a greater sense of control and reduce stress then I am absolutely here for it. When dealing with tough emotions please don’t hesitate to put yourself first until your cup is so full that you have something to give from, so don’t worry about us this time. Love the videos ❤ and I am wishing you a day full of peace and happiness.
I appreciate you being open about the “burnout” feel and how it can effect you. I have also had a very crazy year and hearing one of my favorite RUclipsrs touch on this subject oddly makes me feel better to know I’m not alone. ❤
I actually really appreciate when you, and other creators, are vulnerable. Obviously it’s important to have boundaries and whatever you choose not to share is okay, but I think there’s something really refreshing and even necessary in dismantling the unrealistic perceptions of life through the lens of social media. Even though most of us understand intellectually that people only show the best aspects of their lives, it can absolutely still make one feel insecure and inadequate. I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed and anxious lately, so thank you for making me feel less alone in those feelings ❤
No one is upbeat and positive all the time. It’s ok to show your emotions sometimes. Ipsy is definitely still a thing. My son and his fiancé got a subscription for me for Christmas. I’m loving that I get to try so many new things without having to buy full sizes. A long time ago I heard this: “People come in to your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime” I don’t remember where I heard but it certainly is true!! ❤️
BLTs are one of my favorite and easiest lunches. Especially yummy when you have a fresh summer tomato and avacado
Jessica, thank you for being so transparent and real. You are my favorite. Praying for you and your sweet family!
Sunday afternoon is my makeup reset day. I wash my brushes every week, rotate what is in my makeup bag and wipe down makeup acrylic drawer( one small one). I also clean that bathroom at the same time.
I would love a mid-year “update” of your beginning of the year goals/ planning for the rest of the year, etc. Like a check-in
I so appreciate that you’re able to be vulnerable with us! I think it’s so easy to forget that we often only see people’s highlight reel. Thank you for being so genuine ❤ love you Jess!
I’m a teacher and my husband is a principal, and we love Abbot Elementary! There are of course some unrealistic things (how long they have to sit around and chat with other teachers!) but there are so many true, relatable things with the current education climate.
I really appreciate your discussion on adult friendships. I graduated from college a year ago so managing and maintaining my adult friendships without the safety net of school has been interesting to navigate. Hearing your thoughts put a lot of my anxieties at ease :)
I am an every week day chicken salad kind of person. I have an airfryer, so I pretty much toss the chicken breasts, paprika, italian seasoning, and garlic powder, so, while I chop some cucumber, red bell peppers, cheese, and some grape tomatoes, it gets cooked. Also, on Mondays, I cook some farro or barley to add to the salad mix. I toss it all with some of those green mixes from the supermarket and it is done. Normally I don't add dressings, but every now and then I'll buy the CAVA tzatziki to add to my salad.
It is wild the way our hair changes as we age. Mine has gone from always stick straight to having some crazy curl. Regarding lunches, one of my quick lunch faves…take a can of chickpeas, roast in the oven and toss with your fave spice and olive oil (I like garam masala). Layer on pita bread with cream cheese or tzatziki sauce. Super quick, super yum.
Jessica, you’re human. Sometimes, we as adults,have big feelings too!! I know I do and I just turned 64. I really enjoyed this chores and chat! Please do more. I’ve been watching you for a couple years and I don’t know how this video got past me. lol really enjoyed ❤
I would literally watch anything you put out. I recently started watching you in the last few months and love you! You are relatable and I just love watching you. You keep doing you!
Thank you for being real. We’re all human. As you said, we all have stuff. You don’t know who you may help by being real and relatable. I know I admire you even more for it. ❤
Oof, Jess, I feel you so much on the random sads. It's truly just hard being a human. You bring so much encouragement and joy to my life though. Sending you guys big hugs and hearts ❤
I love that you showed a vulnerable side of yourself. Nobody's life is perfect. Peace and happiness take work! My favorite lunches are peanut butter and crackers or just some slices of deli meat and cheese. Heavy lunches and a desk job definitely don't mix for me lol
Trying to catch up after traveling so am just now seeing this. Jess, this chores and chats visit was just what I needed. Please continue this series. I love a good declutter but prefer they be spread out so I can see more. ❤
I watch all your videos! I liked this style of video because that’s what I usually do too! I either get ready with your video or fold laundry! Declutter is a must b/c it makes me declutter my own stuff whether it’s makeup or clothes.
Sending love and hugs! This was a great video. Burnout, especially for full-time working mamas, is real. Thank you for being so vulnerable and know that you are not alone.
Longer the better! The longer videos are ThE best to multitask and have it playing in the background while doing other stuff😊
it must be a mid year thing some of us get with feeling the need to declutter. I'm currently decluttering my whole house and just did it in December!! Love this video!!!
I’ve been going through a rough time with anxiety. It came out of nowhere and it’s been a struggle. Keeping busy definitely helps. It is worst at night and keeps me up. Fortunately my doctor started me on medication so hopefully I’m going to start feeling better soon.
Face sunscreen recommendation: Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Face Sunscreen. It’s SPF 50, comes in two shades, blends in so easily, is great alone or under makeup, and does NOT budge. I live in Arizona and have also used it in humid places like Hawaii. It’s THE BEST.
The Morning Show is INCREDIBLE! I agree, needs more buzz! I love that Apple is venturing into controversial topics and not being afraid to discuss them!
Periodic declutter vids is my preference( quarterly if u’d like)Jess.. like them 😊😊
This is why I am always planning trips!! Always something to look forward to.
Jess, ive been a viewer for years and i just love your channel so much. Your videos, no matter what they are, always make me smile. Your so real and relatable. And everyone in the comments section are always so positive. Its just so refreshing. 💕 ps. I pray for mental peace often too. Life gets overwelming sometimes.
Loved washing my brushes and listening to you chat! Gave me some motivation and had a great time!
Hi! The original video was from Sarah Rose Beauty ❤
I am so happy that you did not restart but decided to include the part where you are vulnerable. As you say we all have something that we are struggling with and I appreciate you sharing your struggles ❤
Cry sesh in the video just made me feel how human you really are.❤ Convinced you're probably my favorite youtuber. Jess lots of love to you, youtubers are people too! PS do the declutter please, 2 hours long I don't care. I'm watching it. Love youuuuu
😂 I’m always so entertained by you! And all your outfits are so darling. Love this “new” series
I feel like we all have those times when we feel sad or lonely or depressed. I cried this morning, then pulled myself together, I may cry more later, there's more good then bad in life, I feel it all if that makes sense.
I love this video! Thank you for talking about burnout. It's important!
Hugs I feel you totally on burn out at times. Thank you for being real with us. Just went to therapy again myself just because I understand this completely. You can do this! ❤
Pleaaaasee do a clothing/shoes declutter next! We like declutter videos even if they aren’t makeup specific. (Haircare, skincare, pantry, etc)
Thank you so much for sharing Jess, we all need to let it out and loss in the family is a big one. Love and hugs to you sweetpea ❤️
Really enjoyed this as always your energy is palpable and your personality contagious . Teary eyes help us . Makes us look at what’s going on inside we get insight that gives clarification for the journey !
"Let me show you what's in my draws" 🤣😆🤣 That little southernism just slipped right out :)
Thank you for sharing your real moments. I’m a mom about your age and have had a year of a lot of changes and I’m really struggling even though I know I have a lot to be thankful for. So seeing that there’s someone out there feeling the same really helps.
This is a great video. Any declutter videos, I’m here for! Thank you for being real and for showing it all, glad you didn’t cut it out! You are super precious. Hugs and prayers of blessings
As far as quick lunches go, I’m all about meal prep because it’s the only way we eat healthy lunches. I’ll do a sheet pan meal with marinated chicken tenderloins, sweet potatoes and broccoli or something, sometimes it’s Asian meatballs with soba noodles and sautéed bok choy, chicken shawarma with quinoa and zucchini and tzatziki. I get creative with it and end up looking forward to healthy lunch every day. I work with my husband and prep enough for both of us for 4 days and we eat out on Fridays. It’s a good routine/balance for us.
I've wished for years that someone would do a chatty makeup brush cleaning video / series. I like cleaning my brushes and I like watching others do it too.
Jess, you are authentically yourself and that is so so inspiring! Thank you for being so relatable 🤗
Sweety i feel you there is a lot going on in my live. And that had been for more than 11 years like that. I ask myself sometimes can i get a break. Its one thing after the other. I find you such a pure and onest person. And its good to let us see your emotions. It makes you human. And not fake you dont have to be cheerfull al the time. Maybe whe can help you in some way or the other. Maybe a nice comment or atvise. Love you and love watching you and your family. ❤❤❤
Video idea: a makeup look with items bought from social media ads - social media made me buy it!
Also: thanks for being so authentic and sharing what’s going on/ how you’re feeling. We’re all here for you.
100% here for chores and chats 🥳🎉
I found you from your Invisalign videos and i'm absolutely OBSESSED with your channel! So happy I found it.
Love your vulnerability. You have a safe space here and we appreciate that you were real. We all feel it- sometimes it's a small moment that triggers it, but life lately is just HEAVY.
This channel and your content are just so down to earth. It's a good mix of vids I want to pay attention to and vids I can have in the background. Love your comments on burnout. Being an adult is hard!!
I’d love to see multiple declutter videos because I love declutters ❤
Lunch:
In a Bowl: first layer rice, heated shredded chicken (i get the maple leaf kind), a bit of the dill pickle salad, boiled egg, avocado, some of the dressing from the dill pickle salad. It’s 5
mins to put together and so good.
Tuna melts
Leftovers
It’s been a minute since I’ve watched your videos but I’m so glad I came across this again! You are just so comforting and easy to listen to. I so appreciate you sharing your life and being here for me to come back to
One of my favorite lunches is a tahini quinoa bowl! I just do a bed of greens with some chickpeas, cooked quinoa, carrots, peppers, and tahini mixed in. I added ground turkey once, and even cooked sweet potato and it was so good!
I would love to see a collection reset declutter if you ask me. You could break it apart into categories or all at once. But honestly if you feel it would be nice to reset and start clean with only the products you really want to keep then do it for you! I'll watch anything you put out ❤❤
Don't ever apologize for crying in front of us! It shows that you are human and that your life is not perfect. It is good to know, so that we ourselves don't feel alone! I live watching your your vlig videos. Take care, xx
I never get tired of your declutters !
Loved so much of this convo! I see a therapist & sometimes it's regularly & other times it's for a "tune up". I've also started doing the square breathing exercise for 5 minutes to center myself, whether that's in the middle of the day or if I wake up in the middle of the night mind racing. 🙏🥰
My husband and I both work from home too. With 3 daughters being home for summer break, our workspace being cluttered and Florida heat keeping us inside… I totally get the burnout. It’s so hard 😩 We also just got back from a cruise just us adults so my mind is so oddly fogged and jumbled since coming back. I’m dying for some normalcy. Hope things get better for you 💗
Love so much Jess ❤you are my absolute fave RUclipsr and always look forward to watch you videos bc you’re a real person I mean you show yourself just as you are and that’s so amazing ❤thank you for that
100% having a now 15 month old a new wave of emotions have come up, I even googled if post partum could happen so long after having a baby, bc I didnt have any depression when she was born but started to get sad a few weeks ago, then I started to workout again got blood work done and found out my vitamin d is low and it turns out Vitamin D being low can cause depression and anxiety!!! I recommend getting your levels checked and hormones it helped me so much and I'm so much happier and with more energy
I have a black belt in Karate. I started when I was 5 and it was such a good memory and activity from growing up. The discipline, dedication and patience it required was great. I taught karate as well and I can see how it helped the kids mature from the start of the year to the end.
Ipsy still exists! My mom recently decluttered all her makeup (like 10+ years old…) and didn’t know where to start with her collection so she gets to try minis! And if she doesn’t like them, then she passes it to me. A win-win 😂
I’m single and never been married and don’t have kids or neices and nephews. The main time I’m around kids is at church. I teach 2 & 3 year old class. As a single with no kids I love spending time with families with kids. I just love children so much. I enjoy seeing yours in the videos too.
I enjoyed this style of video, it was still beauty focused but kinda like a vlog feel 🥰
I'd love to see a big hardcore declutter - you did one of those some years ago and it really felt like getting a clean slate, editing to only the best of the best. Def would watch that :)
Thank you for didnt cut that moment 💜
I really understand about the friendships. It was very good question, indeed. I am almost 37 and me and my friends we are not that close anymore. Because just life happend and it is understandable, to me at least. (But there are some other people who just do not get it, my brother is an example. He is married and still do not accept it well, that ppl are getting busy with their lives, and more responsibilities, and that sometimes, as you said, our paths just separate and goind in different directions. He is blaming them and he is mad at them 😅 and he is even 1 year older than me.)
About decluttering - I love the mezmerizing videos with big makeup collections and decluttering, but it is useful in another way when monthly I can get an update about what you like and with what you are not satisfied. So whatever you do, I will watch it with pleasure.
I wish to you from my heart more peace and calmness for future ❣🫂
I have the same wavy hair as you and also found that highlighting really changes the texture of my hair which is why I’ve stopped after years. I love my lightened hair but definitely felt I always had to “do it” for it to look nice.
