I want to hear from you guys!! What is something new you're going to try this week?? Also, should I make this a more regular series? I had SO. MUCH. FUN. doing this!!
Yes please!!! More videos like this. When I was younger I would always do new things. Now that I've retired I really feel much better with a routine. But I do try new recipes all the time...does that count? hahaha 💜💙💚💛🧡
I have done something new the last month, wearing color every day 🌼 and i have 🚿 in the morning in sted of the night ☺️
I made a temporary railing today!(which is big because I usually don't use power tools😂)
We just moved from a smallish town to Ann Arbor and we are always trying new restaurants, grocery stores, roads. I'm super intimidated by downtown. SO much traffic, parking, a maze of roads where I feel like everyone knows where they're going except me. I'm 59, definitely not as adventurous as I was before.
Yes! Whatever you do is perfect ❤
PLEASE. MAKE. THIS. A. SERIES.
Agreed!! I think “Do it different day” series would be fun!
Jessica, I feel so opposite from you but I connect so deeply to you, your thoughts, and feelings. I’m 29, living in NYC, queer, child-less, not religious, but every single vlog you post I feel like I’m watching my big sister give me another reminder to LIVE LIFE. Thanks so much for all of the content you and the family put out, it’s always a highlight of my day.
I think Jess has a way of making people feel welcome and open. I just adore her. Been watching since she was making videos on her parents' house's bedroom floor. :)
literally same! i’m 22, in a city, childless, an only child, and not religious (and figuring out if i’m queer, lol) and i’ve been watching jessica since i was in high school! i always feel like i’m getting a warm hug every time i watch one of jess’s videos :’)
Ahh same except I unfortunately live in FL. Jess is so welcoming!
This comment is exactly what I’m thinking every time I watch her. I also am so different from her, but I relate so hard. I love her!!! ❤
Omg same. Queer, 34, childless, nyc, don’t like Disney, lol but I’m like, Jessica has it going on and her videos chill me out
Love the idea of this video! This might be a weird thing but my "different thing" is for the first time I wore a dress without shaving my legs. I always shaved because I was scared of the judgment from coworkers etc. but in reality I HATE shaving and it hurts my sensitive skin. Maybe not something that different, but I'm proud of myself.
Also, I've been wanting to try bubble tea and this has inspired me to stop after work and try a place near my house. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love this! ❤
I have to share this with you. Every so often me and my kids have a vacation day in our city we act like we have never been here before and take pictures of our day like we are on vacation and go to places we have never been too ! Lol also my daughter came up with this great idea that once a month we make and try foods from different countries she finds the recipes I find the music and then we make a whole dinner together! It’s so fun!
I love the concept of being a tourist in your own home! I recently moved to a big city, and even though I'm not the most adventurous person, I want to make sure I try something new at least once a week.
This sounds wonderful! It’s a little different but when something unexpected or frustrating happens. We take that moment to talk about all the good things happening around us( during the bad). We end up walking and singing and laughing!
I love how introspective your videos have been lately, this one included. Thank you for sharing your reflections. It’s refreshing and grounding to hear you share so many of the same things I’ve been thinking and feeling. You’re a true (TH-cam) friend! ❤
I just recently got out of a seven and a half year relationship that was not altogether healthy & everything in my life right now is about doing things differently & trying new things. It’s scary & intimidating but it feels great when you do it. Because even if it doesn’t work out, you don’t have to do it again 😂
I was struggling with my situation at work, and had to make some hard decisions (stress was affecting my health). We went on a cruise (hubby trying to help my stress, lol) and I spent the entire time trying to think through and figure things out. On the last night my husband didn't feel good. So I got dinner by myself and just people watched. Then I went to the atrium and got a glass of wine and listened to music. I saw several people we'd met over the week, and they'd say hi as they went by. It was ..... I don't know, exhilirating? It made me realize I can do whatever I want to, so I came back to work and had the hard conversations. Got a raise, resolved some procedure issues, and life is good!
After wanting to do it for several years, I drove to a flooring store, (well researched), picked out samples, brought them home, placed them all iver the house, chose which I loved, and made the decision to order. I'll have new flooring the first full week of June. I have procrastinated for many years. Why? It's been such a great feeling of "I finally did it! I can't wait!!"
Spread ricotta on toasted bread (I like an Italian pane best for this, Trader Joe’s has a great one), squeeze fresh Italian herb paste (in the produce section, comes in a tube) & swirl it. Add roasted red peppers, salt & pepper, then drizzle balsamic glaze on top. Alternately, sub fresh basil (chiffonade cut) for the Italian herbs. Eat open faced. Roll eyeballs back into your head after taking the first bite. Thank me later. ❤🤤
Your excitement is infectious ❤
I rearranged the living room furniture this week. Does that count? 😄
yes it does, it's so refreshing!!
Laughed too hard at the “hot dog?? Are you a serial killer?” 😂😂 in all seriousness, thanks for reminding us all to not take things so seriously
“Maybe you’re writing a pamphlet” had me HOLLERING
I love the idea that he thinks a toddler would consider writing a pamphlet 😂
Well I drove to Atlanta which is only 2 hours away but as a person who has anxiety driving on highways it was something new and a big accomplishment.
As a fellow introvert/extrovert who likes to be in control and keep to a routine, I am so glad to see that you enjoyed this topsy-turvy day! I love trying new foods and recipes, so this challenge is right up my alley. Grilled Turkish marinated pork loin, here I come…
This feels like a sign that I’m making the right choice in changing my career after 16 years! Thanks Jess- sometimes I just need my internet bestie💕
Like the Seinfeld episode where George does everything the opposite way he normally does lol great idea!! Silly seemingly but honestly does make a difference even changing your route to work one morning just to cut the monotony of the same everyday!
A while ago, I decided to try three places near me where the signage was all in Spanish. I was afraid that maybe I wouldn't understand their menu or products but that was NOT the case! One is a panaderia with delicious pastries that were very affordable. One was a restaurant that grills chicken on big grills and makes amazing sandwiches with it. And the other was an ice cream/paleta shop with some of the best ice cream I've ever eaten. I'd avoided these places for years because I thought maybe I wouldn't be welcome due to a language barrier but that was absolutely not the case. The employees were lovely and were patient with me, and the food was amazing in all three. So go to that bakery with Spanish on the sign. Go to that store with Arabic writing on it. Go to that restaurant with the Chinese menu. You will probably love it!
Pro tip Jess: Keep a roll of TP in the car. Can't tell you how many times I didn't realize I was on the last roll at midnight or something and had to go grab one from the car. lol Another thing I do is if I pull the last roll out, I don't put it ON the holder, I set it on the counter so that every time I use it, I know it's the LAST roll (except the one in the car) and it reminds me to put it on the list and get it soon, lol
dying at smoothie king thing. there’s one on every corner here in miami and it’s like the most normal mainstream thing ever! so cool to see how different things are in different places. LOVE YOU Jess!
Yeah I’m on the other side in Naples and other smoothie and bowl places are very popular over here! I’m sure over there as well! Very popular in the south!! We do have smoothie king and tropical smoothie cafe too.
I live in the DMV area (DC, Maryland and Northern VA) and we have a ton. I assumed it was a regional franchise. 😂
I love this concept! I’m currently living the “stay at home” life after having to take a break from a a toxic career. And I have fallen into the rut of everyday life. I’m gonna take your lead and start doing something new once a week!
Ooh! Same boat! Toxic dead end workplace for 7 yrs (found out about the situation halfway through) now 2 yrs into SAHM of two under two 😵💫😝
Why do i feel like Tyler is always running a half marathon tomorrow? 😂
Omg that's so true! 😂
You and Tati both do the best comfort videos that just make you feel good and not alone.
Ummm I totally second this!!! I’m always here for a Tati or Jess video and it’s so funny and cool that you think the same haha! Yess Street Family!!! 😂❤
I tried to read Greenlights, and gave up. "Weird bird" is an understatement! 🤣
So inspiring Jessica! What a great day. Tyler (and you) might like the Stuff You Should Know podcast. It’s about very random but really interesting things you didn’t even know you’d want to learn about! They have long form ones and “short stuff” ones which are about 15 min! ❤
Loved your nature walk talk! I want to legitimize your experience for a moment since I think you downplayed the impact of this day on your life. However, life is so habitual. You’re building micro-habits of doing new things and finding joy in the “weird” or “new”. That will absolutely bleed into the big choices of life, so celebrate this as a big win and remember so much of our life will be lived through our small, habitual actions! Have a lovely weekend ☺️
All within the past week, I’ve decided I’m leaving my job that I despise, starting a new one, transferring to a new college, and changing my major. A video like this was a huge comfort that though I’m leaving so many familiar things, what’s coming up for me has great potential and I’m excited for the change. Cheers to you Jess, thank you for the vid💛
This video could not come at a better time for me.
I have been feeling completely stuck for quite a while now, about life in general and I know it is due to very tough emotional situation after a personal loss months ago but despite of being aware of how i have been feeling and knowing it is on me to do something about it, I never seem to be at the right moment to take action and change something. I have been extremely anxious, like afraid to go out on my own and only doing it when absolutely necessary.
Seeing you taking a "new things" day was like the eye opener that I needed to inspire me and kick me on the butt for good😍 in particular that lovely walk in the nature. I live by a river and it is absolutely gorgeous, and despite of the weather still being cool and rainy, it just hit me that it is exactly what I must do to get started. If you ever, ever feel unsure of what you are doing with your channel, simply think that you may have a huge impact on others' lives with just one of your videos. So thank you☺
Jessica laughing at the grocery store made me laugh out loud 😂
I laughed when she thought she'd get a deal on toilet paper at Fresh Market! You don't know till you know! 😅
I love when she giggles at herself!! I do that too 😂 ! It’s funny when people catch ya doing it alone 😂
A good tip I heard is to make a date with yourself once a week if possible and go or do something new. It could be a show, a hobbie, visit another town, a theatre day. I am working this into my life to improve mood and mental health. Explore something new😃
YES! PLEASE MAKE THIS (TOPSY TURVY VLOG) A MORE REGULAR SERIES! Something new I did: I visited Carlsbad Caverns, an underground marvel. We went as a family, we all loved it! The kids had so much fun! You should try it; visit 6 Indiana Caves: Indiana Caverns, Marengo Cave, Squire Boone Caverns, Wyandotte Cave, Sullivan Cave, and Blue Spring Caverns. Take lots of pictures.
I'm a school psychologist and I've packed my breakfast and lunch every day this year. Tomorrow, I'm getting takeout!
Loved this video! I’m single and move often for work so I call my version of this “solo dates” and I often just try fun things around the city! It’s often a new coffee shop, a new neighborhood, a new park, a new restaurant, that type of thing. Loved watching this!!
Have you guys ever watched The Food That Built America? I’ve learned so much watching those. I enjoyed this topsy turvy day very much. 😊
I absolutely love the concept of this video & thoroughly enjoyed tagging along on your day!
this video was so fun! I was laughing with you like multiple times. hope to see you do more of these!! felt like spending the day with a friend just doing whatever we wanted haha!
This video is so fun! I think my favorite about it is that your genuine excitement comes through on the screen! 🥰🥰🥰
This was a wonderful video idea Jessica! Thank you for sharing!
Proud of you and your growth. Thanks for taking us along! Have a great week!
Please do more of these. Loved it! Picked up a few new ideas to try myself. ☺️
I listened to Matthew McConaughey’s book and really enjoyed it. And my huge life change was retiring, moving to a new city to be near our first grandchild, and spending a lot more time with said grandchild! I’m so thankful for the opportunity and am thoroughly enjoying myself!! 😊
Love the blush trick and also love the darker shade of cheek blush on you!!!! Very flattering!
Loved the video and you reminded us that it doesn't have to be highly profound to make a change in our energy and mindset! Always enjoy your videos!
My New Year’s resolution was to be more open to new things! This video just reminded me that I’ve kind of forgotten about it the last few weeks… life is definitely more exciting and opens new doors when you’re willing to go let things fall in your lap! 🥰
I have been a slump & this video really lifted my spirits a bit. I LOVED it. Jesse soulful talks in nature
I love this video! Inspired me to try new things and get out of my comfort zone!
Love how down to earth and relatable you are! ❤
Love this and hope you make it a series! I recently moved to a new state and met with a local running group for the first time the other day. So many new things for me to do here.
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve posted. I mean, I love them all, but this one just gives off a renewed sense of joy. 🥰☀️💕
Jessss! I loved this idea/format! Definitely inspiring. You are a doll. Thanks for sharing your journey and life with us. ❤
Jessica, I love this for yourself ❤ I started to go to bed early and working out in the mornings, and I started to try new foods when it presents itself 😊 Love to see you do more of these Jessica ❤❤
GREAT VIDEO and thank you for making all these changes, and trying new things approachable. These are small things anyone can do, and this way it doesn't seem scary. LOVE LOVE LOVE this concept. Very inspiring indeed!
Love this! Great reminders! I’ve been thinking a lot lately about doing things on my own.
At age 53 and a empty nester I started taking ballroom, salsa etc dancing classes after so many years without it. As well as other thing too that give me so much joy. Really loving your inspirational videos Jessica. Keep them coming!! Love them!! You are awesome. I hope to see a video soon your bible study routine and which one you recommend. I need to get back to what is important. Thank you for sharing 💕🙏
Jessica this was such a cute video! A lot of what you said really resonated and inspired me, I love the idea of writing my own story and trying new things just for fun. I’m going to try a new coffee place and also use the pool at my gym for once!
This was such a fun video! Feel free to do more like these 😊 Also, I really enjoy the peaceful nature clips in in your vlogs and Tyler's vlogs - they complement both your video styles 🌿
It’s so crazy because I’m watching this video a couple of days after you posted, but the last 2 weeks have literally been so outside of the norm for me. I started a ceramics class. I realized that my old dry cleaners ( I use to live in the town where my class is) got turned into a coffee house. I went to that coffee house. I went to lunch at one of my old favorites. I went to lunch at a new place. I drove home from class a different route each time. It’s actually been super fun. If I hadn’t signed up for the class I would’ve never met my classmates and I’ve actually finished some pieces. We can all do new things and it just feels good to feel like you are really living.
I love this video ! Great idea definitely something I needed to see and hear it was seriously very helpful. 😊
Jess , this video was awesome 👏🏼 so very inspiring for me . Thank you 🙏🏼 for reminding me to take time to do the things I love or just things for myself . You’re amazing 🤩 I LOVE ya girl !!! 🩷🤍☀️☺️
This is so so fun and clever! I actually just set myself the goal of doing a new activity every week this summer, and I’m really looking forward to it!
What an inspiring vlog!! I’ve really been wanting to try new recipes lately but always fall back into the same old same old. This has inspired me to search up new meal ideas and make a grocery list for the weekend! I may also look into purchasing that cookbook you’ve mentioned in past videos!
This could be the start of something great! Lots of new things in life to try!
I loved this video!! I'm always trying to add new things every month specially that involves me driving to a new place and go by myself since I'm anxious driving and in social settings, so far has done wonders for my confidence!! I tried a new farmers market this week!
I would love to listen to your own podcasts, tips , trying new things , simply chatting , your makeup chats/coffee chats are always so interesting Jess, loved the video and idea of it ❤️
I grew up in maryland and smoothie king was everything when I was in high school. this really took me back. Thank you, Jessica!! Youdabest :)
totally feeling this way, must be around the world, I am 29 and want to try everything before I settle down and have a family and I love that even the smallest things can impact your day! Thank you
Very cool I’m trying that blush trick. I decided to start doing a veggie dinner about once a week-ish. It’s pretty fun and freshens the cooking experience.
I'm only half way through the video, but I wanted to say how much I just LOVE your energy in this one. Looks like you had lots of fun 💜
Thanks for sharing. It's always inspiring to see someone try something new. We do always get stuck in doing things the exact same way. It's so simple to make a change, but our brains try to tell us otherwise
Yes!!! We have a Smoothie King in San Antonio Texas. Delicious whether you’re trying to keep healthy or you just wanna treat yourself. So happy you enjoyed it.😊
This was a fun video to watch. Great message and reminder for everyone at any age to try something different. ❤️
I am saving this video for later tonight when I am cooking dinner but I LOVE this idea. Both as a video concept trying out something new, and to break out of your routine and keep things interesting in real life! Can't wait to watch, Jess!
Absolutely love this video! So Topsy-turvy day and Jessie Day should be regular editions to the channel!
I love this! My daughter and I have tried a new coffee place, new place for lunch and have stopped at an antique mall we’ve never been. Now we are going to paint the kitchen and are definitely inspired. Thank you.
For anyone who wants a similar look to the CT glow blush wands u can also use the elf halo glow. just mix a product like elf halo glow with a blush and it’ll give you that glowy blush look! Kelly gooch talks about this technique a lot.
I've started a routine of going to the gym everyday ❤ and u have encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone just love love you guys so ❤ much I'm tring to get into a better morning routine
There’s a few things I’ve been wanting to do but I’ve been nervous to try (a workout class at my gym and taking my dog on a walk on a trail near me) but this video is giving me so much push to just do it! Please keep doing these this is more relatable than I think it seems.
I loved this video!!!! One thing I tried recently was learning calligraphy….. it is really relaxing!!! Love your videos Jess!!!
Yesss love to see you trying new things Jess! Also, I listen to ur Disney podcast even though i know nothing about Disney. Loving hearing u and Tyler banter. Love from Wisconsin!! ❤
I found this really inspiring, thank you. I am currently recovering from major surgery and illness and have been really struggling with everything. This reminded me that new things and changes don’t have to be big and scary, so thank you.
Jess! Love you and this video as usual ❤️I always save your videos for the weekend when I am relaxing on the couch. Today I watched it while riding the new exercise bike I was just gifted. I have always been nervous to try cycling but finally I decided to switch up my routine and I loved it and am so proud of myself. How appropriate that this happened while watching THIS video ❤️❤️
Hahaha YESS!! I’m so proud of you!
This is a great and inspiring video and turning it into a series is an inspiring idea. Thank you for making this hospice RN's day with your upbeat video.
I LOVED this vlog!!!! Awesome idea
You are so creative with your Vlogs, to get out of any comfort zone is hard. But you rocked it! I might try to do something new this weekend. You inspired me!
Would love to see a “gym locker room” makeup routine. Products that are easy to apply in bad lighting, durable packaging, products that are small enough to pack but not so tiny they’ll run out after regular use, etc. also quick but polished for the office!
I need a topsy turvy day of my own! I am a stay-at-home mom and with school getting out soon, I need to come up with a new summer schedule (my kids thrive on routine). I've gotten away from my workouts recently (I go through spurts of being really into it, but I find it hard to keep at it for the long haul) and I know I will feel better if I get back into it. I also need to force myself to get out of the house more often. Thanks for the inspo!
Love love love this concept and this video!
I normally do yoga at home; I'm so much more comfortable at home, i'm anxious of judgement or not belonging, etc but today my neighbor asked me to go to a class with her tonight so i said YES! Can't wait to try it out!
I love this video. I think it’s so important in life to change things up when it’s getting SO mundane .
I love the look of pure joy on your face! You've inspired me! I'm finally going to get into my list of things I want to try! Also, you made me cry- in a good way!
Sick right now but definitely going to try this when I’m well again! I could just feel how refreshing it was through the screen! Plus I’ve been thinking about things like this myself lately, honestly we’re sharing a brain at this point
As a stay at home mom I needed this video so much! I get stuck in my groove and it feels stressful to change, or try new things but honestly when I do it feels so great! I’m going to try to really be the author of my life and not sit back and let life write my story! Thanks so much for your inspiring and fun twist on this! Your so sweet and great!
I love this so much!!!! So inspiring yes!!!
I really enjoyed your walk in the park with all the birds singing.
I looooove this! As a Taurus we tend to be so routine and never stray from the comforting routines. I need this motivation to switch it up sometimes. Keep this going. I would love to see more.
Yes! Please make this a series. Trying new photo and video techniques and new places to eat!
Also, yes, we do have a Smoothie King and we love it.
Such a fun video idea, very exciting to watch and see you open up to other things (ps your regular stuff is awesome as well!) ❤
Well, climbed The Edge building in NYC this weekend to overcome my fear of group activities & heights!
Thanks to you, I finally am converting my bedroom into a full office space & bought a stand up desk & the under desk treadmill you recommended!
Looking forward to watching the rest of this video!
No Smoothie King but we do have Tropical Smoothie Cafe where I get the Paradise Point!
I LIVE for variety, so this video speaks to me! I like to joke I like variety with everything except with my husband and my job, but I don’t know how much of a joke that actually is! Lol I make a point to try new activities, new styles, new foods, new routines as a way of finding my best way of life. So cool!! Let’s get weird!! 🤩💛
I finished university in Dec last year and it put me in a bad way. Im finally out of the burn out and I can say Im happy for once. So this entire year Ive been trying something new! Visiting new suburbs in the city, cooking new vegetarian meals ( slowly trying to eat a more vegetarian diet), playing computer games, just giving myself fun time to enjoy. As you said, its so freeing and really opens us up to our habits when we change things up!
this was amazing, i think you described those days perfectly and made me feel so heard. love you always!!
today i sat outside and got some extra sun, and i bought my mom some tomatoes, rhubarb and gerber daisy’s for Mother’s day. also, SHOUT OUT SMOOTHIE KING & the pb&j smoothie! so good, i crave it like a bad habit.
This week I got on TH-cam on Monday, found new recipes to try, and all week I’ve been making new recipes I haven’t tried before. I was in a huge rut with cooking, and this just brought back my love for it! I’m making this a routine now because it’s SO much fun!! 😍 Oh! And we have Smoothie King in Texas! I get the Caribbean Way because I’m lactose intolerant, and it’s dairy free and yummy!! 🤤
A SERIES IS NEEDED!
