Ahh, the last episode of Jennglebells is out now. I pushed myself to film on an off day and it ended up having a really great one by the end of it! If you're having a bad one too, just know you can push yourself out of it. I recommend taking a shower, writing out a few pages to vent, reaching out to a loved ones and cooking something new!
Ya, I went to market and encountered an extremely rude old Aunty and it was the last day of the year and I got so irritated. Think she don’t like working on year end and vent out frustration to consumer when all I asked politely was an extra plastic bag to put another heavy products. Feeling abit frustrated that this happened on eve.
I'm so glad you pushed yourself to do this. This has forsure been my faviourate vlog of yours even all those with cool editing and all because of how connected and related i felt to you opening up about your off day and striving towards improving it by maintaining a positive attitude and surround yourself with loved ones. for some reason too this vlog has given me a lil bit of extra motivation to reach out and spend more time with my loved ones. ill definitely look back onnthis bideo when i need a boost when im having one of those days. please try to make more videos like these jenn when you open up more about your feelings because as brene brown has emphasised thr importance of vulnerability to feel connected, inspire and initiate change. honestly Jenn ive watched you for about 6-7 years and i think this might be one of the first few videos that i felt truly connected to you so please try to step out of your comfort zone more and be vulnerable because im sure many other of your viewers feel the same way too.
Finally, someone whom i can relate to. So many instagram influencers posts photos of huge ass trees with insane decorations and shelling out thousands on gifts and piling up the tree. Imo, Christmas is really not all about the presents and festivity; it is really about family and love and appreciation. Every holiday season, i feel so lonely sometimes cuz my family is not big on christmas so there is rarely a tree or even any presents at all However, this year, i am just so grateful that I at least get to spend time with my family and just hang out all together.
i can't remember how long ago it was now that you said you wanted to be more open in your vlogs and i think there obviously had to be a bit of a transitional periodf for both you and us with that but your vlogs recently, you can tell how much more comfortable you are and in return it has really made me realise how much i can relate to you - finding myself laughing at all of the little things and feelings you have that i resonate so much with! it seems to be a much healthier way of vlogging because you can be yourself, talk about your feelings honestly and not feel like you have to be a constant persona all month, and at the same time we can watch and relate more and feel like the gap is smaller than it was before. watching this was like catching up with an old friend instead of watching a tv show! so therapeutic, thank you Jenn!
I love how much care you put into your mental and physical health. I only realized how much i took my health for granted after i got sick. But i am learning to take care of myself!! Watching this vlog has given me some new ideas to try out so thank you!
I always think that you never have bad days because you’re always so bubbly and energetic, but it’s good to know that you’re just like everyone else. 😊 I can’t wait to see what you have in store for 2019! 👏
Hey Jenn! Just wanted to say that it is NOT an excuse to feel so sensitive the week before your period. Sometimes the best thing you can do IS to stay in and watch some reality tv while devouring a pizza! Be gentle with yourself. But I also love the attitude of actively trying to get yourself out of such a sucky mood. So happy you're feeling better. I have always loved this series. Keep it up gurl. Love you long time. ✌🏼❤️
I think she’s saying that she isn’t using her cycle as an excuse to for her actions ....Like the saying your mental stay explains your actions but doesn’t excuse them 🤷🏾♀️ So many people use their PMS as an excuse to be rude to people 😅
Lately I keep imagining deep loss of my mom and close family the same as you! Its been on my mind so much and when Ive brought it up to friends they haven’t really related. It just made me feel so calm and normal hearing you say you felt the same over this holiday 💓💓💓 Thank you for sharing!
Sleepovers for the holidays are the best! My family all sleepovers at my grandparents house and we all wakeup Christmas morning together to open gifts. There's usually about 11 of us in total. Definitely a great tradition! Wishing you all the best Jenn!!
It hasn't been a great holiday this year but your reflection on family and loved ones being the focus on Christmas made me feel a lot better, thanks for always being such a huge inspiration Jenn❤️
Hi Jenn! This video is so refreshing to watch. Not that it's nice seeing others miserable or have bad days. But the fact that you peaked so quickly and only showed the extravagant trips, "perfect" Instagram influencer friends, expansive free products, sponsorship videos one after the other etc. It does make others slowly feel unrelatable. But in real life, you're just like many. I hate being alone especially when the man is busy at work and even though how much I try to stay busy myself I always end up calling a friend to do something with. I can tell, just like me, you only need that much me time, and then it can get depressing. It's also really humble and nice to see that you have non influencers, regular girl next door friends. All that 'yasss hunny' love and hugs at every social events make those who yearns your high life miserable. I'm still working on my own expectations in life. I've stop watching too much influencers; it does take a toll on your mind inevitably. But going back to yours today was nice. Keep it up and be you! Take care, Jenn!
I lost my father a few days before christmas 10 years ago. I was a mess and christmas was never like the christmas was for me before . I can told you be blessed that you have All your family together Now. I love you and hope you will be happy 4 ever. 💜💜💜💜💜
Hi Jenn! I always end up commenting on your videos because i feel like you need to know how much i love and appreciate you as a person. Your' videos are always so inspiring and you always help me see the world in a different light. Thank you much.
I love your videos so much!!! They always put me in a good mood, and I just had to spend the first Christmas without my father he passed away suddenly in September. So when it comes to cherishing the moments you have with you loved I admire you for that so very much because you never know how much time you get with them. Love you with all my heart.
Omg my grandpa used to take me to this mall EVERY weekend. Idk if it’s still there but there was a shop right outside of the food court that sold different cute thing and he would buy me something every time. Now that I think of it, it’s become one of my fondest memories and I’m so happy you reminded me of this place. Also that IS the best food court!!!
I lost my dad a week before Christmas. Truly enjoy your family. I never thought I would be holidays writing my fathers obituary. Life is short!! Short!! Short!!
I know how it feels to be living alone after living with a loved one, so glad you took care of your self Jen durning the holidays! Love you! And wishing you a fantastic 2019!
Love what you said at the end about the beauty of bodies in all their sizes. I live in NYC and spend a lot of time on instagram internalizing concepts of thinness and beauty that I know have completely warped my sense of self. Moments like that when you are taken out of those spaces and recognize that beauty has nothing to do with thinness are so important. Honestly that just made me feel a lot better about getting dressed up to go out tonight for NYE and just enjoy my damn self. Love you
love you Jenn ♡ been having a really rough day (or past few days) so when the title of this popped up it seemed really fitting. Always refreshing to see you post, gonna go finish the vid now! ❤️ happy new year!
I absolutely love that you brought up the topic of body positivity!! It’s kinda overwhelming how social media just shaped the way we think about the body size and the particular ideal image that everyone is trying to fit in. We don’t need to do that, and no one is entitled to judge our body. Be confident about yourself is all that matters! Hope you have a wonderful 2019 girl!! 🥰
Definitely make sure to keep track of your mood and cycle. I finally was diagnosed with PMDD (Pre Menstrual Dysmorphia Disorder). It’s like a complete switch from being okay to extremely depressed and suicidal. It looks like you had an awesome week and dealt with your feelings awesomely!!! Happy New year, Jenn 💖
Sorry to hear you were diagnosed with that - hope the clarity it gave you can make it more manageable! I've been dealing with a lot of suicidal feelings lately so I feel you! 🙏
OMG JENNN I'm the same...I have never experienced any deep loss in my life and I'm so afraid that I can't handle it if it happens someday O_O but I also feel strangely blessed for being aware that nothing is forever because I can always decide to cherish each moment with all my loved ones to the fullest! And it also taught me that the most important things in life are truly your family and friends and all your loved ones. Nothing is more important than that!
One of my favorite vlogs from you! I can completely relate to the moody PMS symptoms and feeling a rollercoaster of emotions. I used to get annoyed with myself because of that, but now I try to be more productive and conscious about my thinking to get out of that mindset. Self-care isn’t always easy, but I love that you show your struggles so openly with us. ❤️
I was having one of those mornings... you know? And this was the only thing that could pull me put of the beginning funk. Thank you Jenn for being truthful about your bad days too. Makes me feel so understood and like a also really belong in this world you know...
Throughout the years of watching you, the one thing that does not change is the amount of food & your reactions to them in each video hahah LOVE IT! 😋❤️
thanks jenn for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us!! i think it's cool that you stepped outside of your comfort zone, reach out to others, and tried new things. thanks for inspiring me!!!
I saw the title and always wonder, how do you always manage to read my mind and thoughts? This video really came at the right timing and watching your videos always make me feel better, thanks Jenn 💕. Wishing you an amazing 2019 to you, Ben and Cheeki ❤️
oh my goodness, i’m 1000% serious when i say your mother is BEAUTIFUL! she looks so young!!! if i can have skin like hers when i’m a mom i’d be thankful 🥰
truly so relatable! growing up i had school monday to friday, vietnamese school on saturday and also church on sunday. i wish i had future me's state of mind because i would have been more excited about learning a second language and more comfortable doing so. you live and you learn!
I’m so happy for you and your korean spa experience! I’m in some kind of a difficult limbo with it still even though I’ve been going with my mom since I was a kid-but you’re totally right that it’s so refreshing and healthy to see all sort of people in all ages just in their bodies chilling in hot tubs!!
Thank you, this is what I’m trapped in for last couple months. I tried various things but nothing brought me out of depressed days. Have great holidays Jenn!💛 Big love from Korea
I love just watching you talk in your videos. I actually had a bad day today that later turned out to be better, so this video is super relatable! Wish you a wonderful 2019 Jenn!
Was watching the part where you talked about how good it is to know that everyone has their own body type when the clock struck 12 a.m.! So glad to start the year with you. Happy new year Jenn! ♥️
-- jenn, I have been watching your channel since you first started (my first vid was you and sara thrifting) and your words and actions really resonate within me. Watching you grow from a quiet, anxious but humble girl into this confident, outspoken women throughout the years I think helped me as well grow too. You inspire millions and you are my role model! Although we may not have the same goals I want to be - I will be, constantly changing for the better, and always learning- educating - and be as open-minded as you are. Thank you for having the confidence to step out of your comfort zone and for being who you are. - From a loving subscriber :)
I’ve been loving the Jennglebells vlogs-thank you for making them!! Just wanted to share that Pachinko was actually what got me into reading books written by Asian Americans. It wasn’t necessarily my cup of tea but I appreciate what it brought to the table. If you’re looking for stuff to watch/read about Korean history & culture, I HIGHLY recommend the Reply series (the 1988 one is my favorite because I watched it with my parents and they would end up sharing their own stories from that time period). As a Korean-American, Mr. Sunshine (another top-notch kdrama) is really interesting to watch because it explores a lot of the historical/political interactions between the US and Korea and how a Korean-American is caught between them. These shows helped me love & understand my ethnic identity a whole lot more 💕 I hope you’re able to check these out or find something that helps you get that understanding in a way that best suits you~ Wishing you a happy new year, Jenn! ✨
I always feel a little melancholy at this time of year too because it's such a reflective period, but melancholy and joy can coexist! Also so glad you are reading Pachinko bc it was one of my faves of 2018
Thank you for this great episode of Jennglebells. I absolutely adore your vlogs. You are such an articulate and poised speaker, but I think one of the reasons why so many of us can relate to you is because you share and speak from the heart. Although you have a glamorous side, you also have such a down to earth side as well and it’s fun to see you share your experiences and outings with us. Your family Christmas was so fun to watch. Thank you again for sharing so much of your life and your thoughts with us. Best wishes to you, Ben, Cheeky and your families in 2019! 🐶🙋🏻♀️🙏🏽✨
Hey there Jen! i am one of your "silent" followers, and i dont think ive ever left a comment here haha. but i would just like to say that i felt the same sentiments as you did when i first went to an onsen in japan. at first it was pretty intimidating, and i felt embarrassed. But after a while it made we realise that we are all created the same, and it kinda was liberating for me! i felt free to be myself and not hide! it strangely made me feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin, and i guess.. in a way also more accepting of myself cause we (all women) have the same "things". haha. now i look forward to go to public baths whenever i am on holidays :)
I really really appreciate this vlog...I’ve been watching you since around 2013 and you are the most relatable youtuber. I frikin love your honesty Jenn, thank you
oh and Lately i have been feeling so anxious and stressed cos of school😭 it’s making me feel super bad about myself! so i have been taking mini breaks to try meet up with people i love, it’s making me feel better😊 hehe watching your vlog comforted me so much❤️✨ love you
You are sooo anthentic !!!! Loved this vlog and how you share your true feelings thank for opening to us and trusting us I know it can be hard !! Love ❤️ 💋
Hi Jenn, I was one of the people to recommend the book to you! It was actually recommended to me by my boyfriend who HATES reading. So I thought this book must be something. To be honest, it took a while for the book to take with me as well! I had never read a book from the author nor a book written in that style before. I had started it and then stopped reading it on and off for a month until I really just pushed myself to keep going and in the end I was so attached to the story and the characters and now it's like my favorite book of all time. I hope you end up enjoying it as much as I did in the end!
When you started talking about loss and appreciation, it made me tear up a bit cuz I lost my grandpa years ago but it still feels like a fresh wound. And before that, I almost lost my brother to suicide and even though I cant help but worry when he doesnt answer his for phone for hours, I'm so thankful every day that he's okay ❤
Hey Jenn It's 1:22am here in London so I am going to watch this episode properly tomorrow and leave a more detailed comment then. Happy New Year in advance! :-)
Glad that you didn't completely isolate over the holidays. It's difficult being away from your partner and makes your time together all the more wonderful. Love how close you and your family are and that you come together throughout the year. Precious memories! Great seeing the korean themed places and food. I have been hearing a lot of good things about body scrubs in general as well as the korean one, so I might need to check it out soon. Self-Awareness is key especially when we hit low points, and you should be proud of how you have come psychologically and spiritually 💖
YOUR EDITING omg was so so funny in this video!! Your editing is always so good, but I loved all the zoom-in's in this. I had to pause when you were reflecting on the body oil. Also, thank you for sharing your thought process when you are having a down day. I feel like acknowledging it is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself.
I really loved this vlog! I've been working my way out of a slump too and this was just very encouraging and made me happy. Also I really want to try a Korean spa now! They sound amazing
I love that you are so genuine, i’ve followed you since you filmed with Sarah, and i still absolutely love you. Keep up the amazing work ❤️ hugs from Sweden ❤️
I had my first Korean Spa experience on Saturday and I loved it. I definitely was outside of my comfort zone. I loved it though. My favorite was the steam room and the charcoal sauna. I also did get a body shampoo(scrub) and seeing all that dirt on me was trippy. I can’t wait to go back!
ahhh the last episode of jennglebells!!! im happy you did this series again, jenn! i hope you treat yourself well in the future to more korean spas and such!! happy new year to you, cheeki, and ben!! lots of loveeee
I go to Northeastern in Boston and attended a talk with Min Jin Lee and she was so relatable, down to earth, and eloquent. I'm reading Pachinko currently as well, but it's worth it. What synchronicity! Also: I notice these zoom ins in you're adding in these vlogs and I like this creative choice.
Thank you for this video it really felt so good to watch ! As a korean also i went to the korean spa recently whilst visiting korea and it felt really nice to hear your perspective on it also, i rlly resonate with what you said about something really eye-opening and normalising about seeing different types of bodies from all walks of life! i have to admit tho im still getting used to it it was my 2nd time round going and i still felt shy about my body but im working on my self love and confidence and yeah just wanted to share this as another korean! its rlly cool to see you learning to embrace your korean heritage and i get warm fuzzies haha when i hear u speak korean! i hope 2019 is another year of growth and love for you, always supporting u jenn!! :D
YAYY!! Just woke up from my nap and saw the notification for your video and just turned it on! HAHA. Also you should do a video on your bullet journal!! I want to see what kind of system you're using that is working for you! And Happy Early New Year! (: Love you so much!
Honestly this is such a mood. Ramping up to next year I’ve been feeling so positive for 2019 but still kind of sucky on the day to day grind. I really hope that so many beautiful good things come your way next year ❤️🌟 love from the UK! Em x
Im similar to you jenn, I like my alone time but when I have too much alone time I start to be emotional and depress so I make plans to see my friends/family and I feel so much better. I’m the best me when I’m around others
Ahh, the last episode of Jennglebells is out now. I pushed myself to film on an off day and it ended up having a really great one by the end of it! If you're having a bad one too, just know you can push yourself out of it. I recommend taking a shower, writing out a few pages to vent, reaching out to a loved ones and cooking something new!
Jenn Im good advice
Ya, I went to market and encountered an extremely rude old Aunty and it was the last day of the year and I got so irritated. Think she don’t like working on year end and vent out frustration to consumer when all I asked politely was an extra plastic bag to put another heavy products. Feeling abit frustrated that this happened on eve.
Happy New Year to you Jenn! Your videos are always inspirational and helpful ❤️ Cheers to your journey!! 🥂
Love you Jenn and happy New Years!!
I'm so glad you pushed yourself to do this. This has forsure been my faviourate vlog of yours even all those with cool editing and all because of how connected and related i felt to you opening up about your off day and striving towards improving it by maintaining a positive attitude and surround yourself with loved ones. for some reason too this vlog has given me a lil bit of extra motivation to reach out and spend more time with my loved ones. ill definitely look back onnthis bideo when i need a boost when im having one of those days. please try to make more videos like these jenn when you open up more about your feelings because as brene brown has emphasised thr importance of vulnerability to feel connected, inspire and initiate change. honestly Jenn ive watched you for about 6-7 years and i think this might be one of the first few videos that i felt truly connected to you so please try to step out of your comfort zone more and be vulnerable because im sure many other of your viewers feel the same way too.
I love your dad's WHOLE dad vibe
Finally, someone whom i can relate to. So many instagram influencers posts photos of huge ass trees with insane decorations and shelling out thousands on gifts and piling up the tree.
Imo, Christmas is really not all about the presents and festivity; it is really about family and love and appreciation.
Every holiday season, i feel so lonely sometimes cuz my family is not big on christmas so there is rarely a tree or even any presents at all
However, this year, i am just so grateful that I at least get to spend time with my family and just hang out all together.
Tina Teng gratitude is what is most important

Jenn you're extremely blessed. Thank you for realizing that and acknowledging it and not letting negativity sink in. I need to do more of that myself!
I love how much care you put into your mental and physical health. I only realized how much i took my health for granted after i got sick. But i am learning to take care of myself!! Watching this vlog has given me some new ideas to try out so thank you!
I always think that you never have bad days because you’re always so bubbly and energetic, but it’s good to know that you’re just like everyone else. 😊 I can’t wait to see what you have in store for 2019! 👏
Aww thanks Kevin! Yeah, no one is exempt to bad days!
lol all humans have bad days
Hey Jenn! Just wanted to say that it is NOT an excuse to feel so sensitive the week before your period. Sometimes the best thing you can do IS to stay in and watch some reality tv while devouring a pizza! Be gentle with yourself.

I lost my father a few days before christmas 10 years ago. I was a mess and christmas was never like the christmas was for me before . I can told you be blessed that you have All your family together Now. I love you and hope you will be happy 4 ever. 💜💜💜💜💜
I love listening to you positively self talk. It helps me snap out of my moods as well. Thanks for being vulnerable.
ugh awww your mom and dad are the cutest parents i’ve ever did seen ❤️ i can tell just how close u are to them and how loving and caring they are
Hi Jenn! I always end up commenting on your videos because i feel like you need to know how much i love and appreciate you as a person. Your' videos are always so inspiring and you always help me see the world in a different light. Thank you much.

I know how it feels to be living alone after living with a loved one, so glad you took care of your self Jen durning the holidays! Love you! And wishing you a fantastic 2019!

Happy New year, Jenn 💖
Sorry to hear you were diagnosed with that - hope the clarity it gave you can make it more manageable! I've been dealing with a lot of suicidal feelings lately so I feel you! 🙏
I agree with you on going to church on Sundays. I grew up Presbyterian Christian as well! Hope you had a good Christmas, and Happy New Year!
Thank you as always Jenn, happy new year!
cari cakes 👋🏻 hey cari!

Your family is soo precious!! Your parents gestures are always so cute. Lots of love to you and your loved ones🥰

I was about the comment the exact same thing lmao
Lmaoo I just noticed 😂😂😂
sad

I used to get annoyed with myself because of that, but now I try to be more productive and conscious about my thinking to get out of that mindset. Self-care isn’t always easy, but I love that you show your struggles so openly with us. ❤️
Found your channel this weekend and have been binge watching. Love your positivity and insights! And I love the cooking and style content too! ❤️

I love how wholesome your content is! Thank you for keeping it real!
Throughout the years of watching you, the one thing that does not change is the amount of food & your reactions to them in each video hahah LOVE IT! 😋❤️

I loved this vlog! It's just what I wanted to watch on a Sunday night. Thank you for sharing your daily life! Have a great week!
Thank you, this is what I’m trapped in for last couple months. I tried various things but nothing brought me out of depressed days. Have great holidays Jenn!💛 Big love from Korea
I love just watching you talk in your videos. I actually had a bad day today that later turned out to be better, so this video is super relatable! Wish you a wonderful 2019 Jenn!
Goodness I’ve never seen you so calm when eating. Proof you had am amazing time at the spa
Jenn, you’re such an inspiration- wish you all the best in 2019!! 💕
Was watching the part where you talked about how good it is to know that everyone has their own body type when the clock struck 12 a.m.! So glad to start the year with you. Happy new year Jenn! ♥️
-- jenn, I have been watching your channel since you first started (my first vid was you and sara thrifting) and your words and actions really resonate within me. Watching you grow from a quiet, anxious but humble girl into this confident, outspoken women throughout the years I think helped me as well grow too. You inspire millions and you are my role model! Although we may not have the same goals I want to be - I will be, constantly changing for the better, and always learning- educating - and be as open-minded as you are.
Thank you for having the confidence to step out of your comfort zone and for being who you are.

I’ve been loving the Jennglebells vlogs-thank you for making them!! Just wanted to share that Pachinko was actually what got me into reading books written by Asian Americans. It wasn’t necessarily my cup of tea but I appreciate what it brought to the table. If you’re looking for stuff to watch/read about Korean history & culture, I HIGHLY recommend the Reply series (the 1988 one is my favorite because I watched it with my parents and they would end up sharing their own stories from that time period). As a Korean-American, Mr. Sunshine (another top-notch kdrama) is really interesting to watch because it explores a lot of the historical/political interactions between the US and Korea and how a Korean-American is caught between them. These shows helped me love & understand my ethnic identity a whole lot more 💕 I hope you’re able to check these out or find something that helps you get that understanding in a way that best suits you~ Wishing you a happy new year, Jenn! ✨
I always feel a little melancholy at this time of year too because it's such a reflective period, but melancholy and joy can coexist! Also so glad you are reading Pachinko bc it was one of my faves of 2018
Thank you for this great episode of Jennglebells. I absolutely adore your vlogs. You are such an articulate and poised speaker, but I think one of the reasons why so many of us can relate to you is because you share and speak from the heart. Although you have a glamorous side, you also have such a down to earth side as well and it’s fun to see you share your experiences and outings with us. Your family Christmas was so fun to watch. Thank you again for sharing so much of your life and your thoughts with us. Best wishes to you, Ben, Cheeky and your families in 2019! 🐶🙋🏻♀️🙏🏽✨
Hey there Jen! i am one of your "silent" followers, and i dont think ive ever left a comment here haha. but i would just like to say that i felt the same sentiments as you did when i first went to an onsen in japan. at first it was pretty intimidating, and i felt embarrassed. But after a while it made we realise that we are all created the same, and it kinda was liberating for me! i felt free to be myself and not hide! it strangely made me feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin, and i guess.. in a way also more accepting of myself cause we (all women) have the same "things". haha. now i look forward to go to public baths whenever i am on holidays :)
This video made my heart feel so full of joy, thank you for sharing it with us!
I really really appreciate this vlog...I’ve been watching you since around 2013 and you are the most relatable youtuber. I frikin love your honesty Jenn, thank you
oh and Lately i have been feeling so anxious and stressed cos of school😭 it’s making me feel super bad about myself!
so i have been taking mini breaks to try meet up with people i love, it’s making me feel better😊 hehe
watching your vlog comforted me so much❤️✨ love you
I’m a hot mess the week before my period, like... the hottest of messes. You’re not alone girl! ♥️
same... it's like clockwork!
I'm so lucky I don't get periods.
Too much information. ewww
I totally feel the way you've been feeling. Thanks for this video it really made me not get back into the pessimistic mood I keep falling into
Wow the Korean spa sounds so nice! I'd love a skin scrub down! 🤗
I go to the sauna as much as possible- heat/cold exposure is also sooo good for you and the feeling afterwards is amazing. So glad you loved the spa!
This is my favorite jennglebell episode cause it's so relatable! Happy New Year to you and Ben and look forward to your videos in 2019 (:
Its so refreshing to watch you with your other friends ☺️
You are sooo anthentic !!!! Loved this vlog and how you share your true feelings thank for opening to us and trusting us I know it can be hard !! Love ❤️ 💋
so happy you had such a pleasant experience at the korea spa !! love that you want to do it monthly as part of your self care routine!
YAY I love this series and of course you! Happy new year Jenn!
Hi Jenn, I was one of the people to recommend the book to you!
It was actually recommended to me by my boyfriend who HATES reading. So I thought this book must be something.
To be honest, it took a while for the book to take with me as well! I had never read a book from the author nor a book written in that style before. I had started it and then stopped reading it on and off for a month until I really just pushed myself to keep going and in the end I was so attached to the story and the characters and now it's like my favorite book of all time.
I hope you end up enjoying it as much as I did in the end!
When you started talking about loss and appreciation, it made me tear up a bit cuz I lost my grandpa years ago but it still feels like a fresh wound. And before that, I almost lost my brother to suicide and even though I cant help but worry when he doesnt answer his for phone for hours, I'm so thankful every day that he's okay ❤
How do you coordinate going out with Cheeky's schedule?
I’ll miss jennglebells and vlogmas😫🎄🙌🏼
Hey Jenn
It's 1:22am here in London so I am going to watch this episode properly tomorrow and leave a more detailed comment then.
Happy New Year in advance! :-)
Glad that you didn't completely isolate over the holidays. It's difficult being away from your partner and makes your time together all the more wonderful. Love how close you and your family are and that you come together throughout the year. Precious memories! Great seeing the korean themed places and food. I have been hearing a lot of good things about body scrubs in general as well as the korean one, so I might need to check it out soon.
Self-Awareness is key especially when we hit low points, and you should be proud of how you have come psychologically and spiritually 💖
YOUR EDITING omg was so so funny in this video!! Your editing is always so good, but I loved all the zoom-in's in this. I had to pause when you were reflecting on the body oil. Also, thank you for sharing your thought process when you are having a down day. I feel like acknowledging it is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself.
Lateee but you're glowing in this vlog and you look so happy and content. Hope you're having a happy new year, Jenn, and everyone else here!
I really loved this vlog! I've been working my way out of a slump too and this was just very encouraging and made me happy. Also I really want to try a Korean spa now! They sound amazing
Your parents are so lovely! I loved when your dad did finger hearts ahhh so cute!!
Lol Mo Bamba playing in that Korean restaurant😂
wowww i really love your videos
I love that you are so genuine, i’ve followed you since you filmed with Sarah, and i still absolutely love you. Keep up the amazing work ❤️ hugs from Sweden ❤️
I had my first Korean Spa experience on Saturday and I loved it. I definitely was outside of my comfort zone. I loved it though. My favorite was the steam room and the charcoal sauna. I also did get a body shampoo(scrub) and seeing all that dirt on me was trippy. I can’t wait to go back!
한국말하실 때 너무너무너무 좋다구요...ㅜㅜ 헝헝... I love your tone when you speak Korean!!!! happy new year Jenn!
Ahh Pachinko was a reaaaaally good book!! Definitely push through and finish because it definitely gets better!!
I can always count on you to make me feel better about life Jenn! You're an amazing human being! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year! ❤
ahhh the last episode of jennglebells!!! im happy you did this series again, jenn! i hope you treat yourself well in the future to more korean spas and such!! happy new year to you, cheeki, and ben!! lots of loveeee
i hope you do a video on how your bullet journaling has been going along! as well as your 2019 layout hehe 🖤
I go to Northeastern in Boston and attended a talk with Min Jin Lee and she was so relatable, down to earth, and eloquent. I'm reading Pachinko currently as well, but it's worth it. What synchronicity!
Also: I notice these zoom ins in you're adding in these vlogs and I like this creative choice.
Omg when Jenn mentioned Korean school on Saturday and church on Sunday I FELT THAT🙌🏻
Hahaha I feel ya. "I JUST WANT TO WATCH POKEMON AT HOME!" XD
Thank you for this video it really felt so good to watch ! As a korean also i went to the korean spa recently whilst visiting korea and it felt really nice to hear your perspective on it also, i rlly resonate with what you said about something really eye-opening and normalising about seeing different types of bodies from all walks of life! i have to admit tho im still getting used to it it was my 2nd time round going and i still felt shy about my body but im working on my self love and confidence and yeah just wanted to share this as another korean! its rlly cool to see you learning to embrace your korean heritage and i get warm fuzzies haha when i hear u speak korean! i hope 2019 is another year of growth and love for you, always supporting u jenn!! :D
Pachinko is outstanding. I don’t have Korean heritage but I’ve found the saga fascinating. My top read of 2018 for sure!
YAYY!! Just woke up from my nap and saw the notification for your video and just turned it on! HAHA. Also you should do a video on your bullet journal!! I want to see what kind of system you're using that is working for you! And Happy Early New Year! (: Love you so much!
Am I the only one being amused at the zoom-ins omg it's so cute and apt!
Merry Christmas !! I loved my scrub in a Korean spa. I remember coming outside like feeling so light and clean LMAO. Wish we had one in England !!
your family is ADORABLE!!
Perfect video to watch before the new year starts. Much love Jenn! 💕
lmao I love the new goofy editing!! Happy New Year Jenn! :D
Honestly this is such a mood. Ramping up to next year I’ve been feeling so positive for 2019 but still kind of sucky on the day to day grind. I really hope that so many beautiful good things come your way next year ❤️🌟 love from the UK! Em x
I love your Free Bread tee - it cracks me up more than it should! :)
It’s a blessing to have so many good friends around you =)
Perfect timing for this video considering I’m having a particularly shitty day. Love you Jenn! 💓
Sorry to hear you're having a bad one. T__T You can start fresh again tomorrow!
Im similar to you jenn, I like my alone time but when I have too much alone time I start to be emotional and depress so I make plans to see my friends/family and I feel so much better. I’m the best me when I’m around others
A positive attitude will take you far. Keep your chin up! My Vietnamese wife has cycles 30 to 45 days. Her emotional sensitivity is super strong.
