Thank you! No one is forcing me to buy things. People act like they have no choice. I watch so many makeup videos and I’m not feeling pressed to buy any of it. It’s my responsibility as a consumer to decide for myself and I shouldn’t blame anyone for “influencing” me into something
Alex Rico yes! This is soooo true! Take some responsibility for your own actions.
While I agree 100% about the responsibility lies on the consumer at the end of the day, I think we also should not underestimate the influence Influencers have. There is a reason this is (most of the time) a very high paid job. I think Jessica's style is very different from a lot of other influencers therefore she also attracts a more adult and responsible audience. But I know from my teenage/kid relatives that "their" Influencers that they watch have a whole other way of pushing product and in general young people are easier to influence, therefor Influencers have more power in the consumer behavior.
Lmao thank you for saying this. So many adults take ZERO accountability for their own behaviour.
Totally agree with this entire thread of comments. I used to feel “pressured” not so much by influencers personally but just from the exposure. Really it was just because I didn’t have an outlet for my stress. I was constantly buying shit for the two seconds of joy you get when you purchase something. Now that I have that shit under control (thanks Prozac!) I just like watching people use make up. But I do agree that teens/young people are way more easily influenced.
Noralet101 It still has to do with personal responsibility, no matter how one wishes to parse it. Influencers may have influence, but no one’s holding a gun to one’s head, forcing one to watch.
I’ve recently heard to stop using the phrase “we’re all in the same boat” and instead think of it as “we’re all going through the same storm, but in different ships”... some people’s may be shipwrecked and some may not. Helped me put into words a good perspective to have on things right now.
100%. Per usual, people living in poverty have it truly, really hard. There is so much suffering - much of which could be alleviated if we did what other nations have done and provide a minimum $2000 a month for 3 months. People are losing their health insurance too. We need health insurance that isn't tied to employment.
I read that there will be a $600 additional weekly bump to unemployment checks, so whatever someone's unemployment check would be plus an additional $2400 per month, through July. This has not gone into effect, but some states are making it retroactive through April or whenever the person became eligible. That's assuming they qualify to begin with!
However, don't get me started on healthcare! We absolutely need health insurance that isn't tied to employment.
I love this expression, have never heard it put like this.
I read somewhere that we are NOT in the same boat, but just in the same ocean. Some are in yachts, fishing boats, and others drowning in the open water. Something like that 😥
I read something similar recently. I think it said we’re all in the same boat, but not in the same storm. For some, this is a drizzle and we’re enjoying the break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. For others, it’s a monsoon and they’re struggling to survive. I hope you and your family are safe and well 💕
Jessica starts crying so I start crying because I can't let anyone cry alone when in reality, it's me sitting here crying by myself. 😂
lionessblack same 😭
Yup, me too! I feel the same way she does, so it got me good!
“The joke is on her because obviously farting is way funnier” 🤣🤣🤣 I got the giggles over that one! As my husband says, farts are funny whether you’re 4 or 40!
On a serious note, I truly love how down to earth you are, how you always consider your audience when you’re making content, using products, etc. ❤️❤️ you’re amazing!
I’m thirty seconds in and I keep rewinding to her saying “if you like coffee, and if you don’t.... wut”. the littlest things crack me up
“joke’s on her because farting is way funnier” 😂
I LOL’d at that one.
Same!!!
Same! It especially made me laugh because I don't actually like coffee (I love tea, though) so the fact that the response is totally aimed at me just made it that much funnier haha
“The joke is on her. Farting is way funnier” Jess this is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard you say. True tho! Even tho I hate that f word omg so funny hearing you say it! 😂😂😂😂😂
SO true! LOL
Gardnertino tooting* 😂
I read this before I watched the video...oh my gosh, hilarious!
stormi nicole norfolk yes! Hahaha!!! That’s my word! Or popping haha!!! Although I’m alone in a house full of fart word loving fam.
Yes! It literally made me laugh out loud.
I think our “old normal” was what got us here in the first place: people going in sick to work, people not covering up when they’re coughing or sneezing, our govt not providing enough resources so many are forced to go into work when sick, etc. I don’t think having a “new normal” is necessarily a bad thing, it’s just going to take time to get used to.
So true! People going in to work sick is so irresponsible however taking sick days are so frowned upon. Our culture needs to change on this.
Going in sick never put anyone at such great risk before. So I hope the new normal is sick equals staying home for as long as it takes and employers accept it!
Reon Chang I go into work sick. If I don't work I don't get paid. Its horrible and even if I mention I'm not feeling well people still pop into my office.
@@annagarnet1232, I used to work for a company that had no sick days and expected you to go to work no matter if you were sick or not. I hope that companies change their policies due to what we have learned from this.
@@brittanywatts4290 Wow! That's terrible! How irresponsible of them. They have a duty of care for their employees. I hope things change.
Watching you before my Zoom University stat final to ease my nerves 😭❤️
Update: Got a 95 on it
"I need to learn how to be unproductive"
Lemme introduce you to Netflix
Emma Frank That completely cracked me up! 😂
😂
I was going to say. I have zero issues being unproductive and I am American all day long.
I’m torn cause I have down/veg out time but also relate to her in the sense that I must always be multitasking-even when relaxing
Won’t work with everyone, I can’t watch anything, if I’m honest, movies, tv series, I can’t watch them for too long. 20 min max and then I need to get going or I’ll explode lol I’ve never even seen that “are you still watching” sign!
Jessica,
Your under eyes are beautiful, don’t listen to the haters! Can’t wait for your running video!! ❤️
Rebecca Frost tell me about it
Who even sees her under eyes??? Her eyes are so beautiful and expressive.
Aging is normal. Don’t let negative comments get to you! You’re beautiful inside and out! I hate to see you upset about that because you’re my favorite TH-camr! Those type of people are obviously very unhappy with themselves they feel the need to attack someone on anything they can.
Ok so I’m the opposite. I can’t seem to get anything done during this time. I’m like eh, whatever. I don’t need to be productive, it’s quarantine lol
Thank you for saying you need to "check your privilege". I'm really blessed that I'm not terribly impacted by the pandemic. I need to be sensitive to the business owners, the parents of school-age children and those who need a lot of contact with other people. They are going through stressors that my privilege allows me to escape.
Holly Webster tbh whites always have to check their privilege
Hey There that is extremely rude
It’s not always “privilege”. My siblings and I all grew up in the same middle-class house, yet a couple of them have made bad decision after bad decision their entire lives, from teenage years to late 40s. It has all lead up to this moment: broke and blaming everyone else, expecting someone else to bail them out. Credit card for emergency? No. Money in savings for a rainy day? Not a dime. Decent job that can allow to work from home? Not even close.
Melanie Young honey, that’s what government for. I
Kayla E you can’t compare how this has affected whities with poc
Remember this moment when you were feeling self conscious of you under eyes and that turned into laughing about your toddler who thinks sneezing is funny. That matters far more than a comment from a random stranger. 💙💙💙💙
When you talked about your in laws, I felt that emotion in my bones. So much love. Thanks for sharing!
I hate "Hustle" phrases - "Hustle and Heart", "The hustle is real", "Boss Babe" etc because I feel like it encourages the go, go, go, mentality. People think the hustle is necessary and they forego good sleep routines, eating well, doing mentally stimulating activities like writing/ drawing, spending time with those they care about. People like to see nice cars, new phones, full wardrobes etc and think they have to "hustle" for it. I think people need to be smarter with their finances and practice a little more self discipline when it comes to consuming and contribute more to being a well rounded person, not necessarily contribute more to "the hustle".
89gummybears I hate hustle culture. I agree we need to work for what we want but I worked myself to the point of actual mental breakdown so I think balance is way more important
This!!!
I'm just sitting here so angry that someone would make you insecure about aging or your under-eye area or *anything*. You are so beautiful, and your personality is so great. I can't imagine anyone trying to make you feel bad. They sound like jealous asshats. You're by far my favorite TH-camr for so many reasons, and I for real got all defensive hearing that. It's crazy, you have no idea who I am, but it seriously felt like someone had made my good friend sad - I wanted to go tell them off so bad for you!
Me too!! Same feelings.
Your heart warming talk about in-laws and kids growing up and leaving parents had me in tears. I love you Jess. ♥️
I’m a reluctant runner so I love hearing how other people started and keep up the motivation.
Mikayla Grayson Same. I was a sprinter from 4th grade and throughout college. I’ve never been a distance runner, and I seriously struggle to find the motivation to run.
Definitely agree with you, and it’s not just an American thing, I’m British and when I’m watching tv I either play on my phone or write lists so I’ve ever started putting my phone in a different room so I can just WATCH THE TV. Sounds crazy but I find it hard to just chill out, but when I do this I find I enjoy the show so much more rather than when I’m distracted. Hope you’re safe and well, love your videos so much! 🇬🇧 🥰💕
The *only* person I immediately watch NO MATTER WHAT when I see you post!!💕
Thank you so much!!!
Julia Cramer me too!! For years. Now my daughter is hooked too !
Hi Jess! I’m a speech-language pathologist (experience mostly with ages 2-5). Milestones are often a guideline for when most kiddos aquire that skill. There is definitely some wiggle room there. For SLPs we look at 3 areas: receptive language (what your kid understands), expressive language (what your kid says), and articulation (production of speech sounds). To qualify for services, typically we would be looking for a 33% delay in one of those areas or 25% delay in two areas. Percent delay would be calculated using their chronological age vs developmental age. Standardized tests, parent report, and the therapist’s clinical experience come into making the decision. I recommend chatting with your pediatrician if you have concerns at any point during your child’s development.
Self talk (talking about what you are doing), parallel talk (talking about what the child is doing), and withholding during structured play are just some of the strategies you can use to support and encourage language growth. Repetative verbal routines with lots of excitement and inflection (think 1...2...3...GO! or up, up, up, down!) and books are also great tools.
I have a bunch of handouts regarding play routines as well as strategies to facilitate language that I could send you. If you are interested, let me know and I would be happy to share them with you! I also highly recommend the blog and youtube channel Teach Me To Talk (Laura Mize). She has a TON of videos outlining and modeling language with your child during play or daily routines.
And now I'm crying lol...so sweet hearing you talk about your daughter growing up. I've been super emotional too. I've been watching John Krasinski's Some Good News, and I swear I BALL my eyes out every time he uploads! 😩
Same! The elderly man singing to his wife outside the nursing home who had dementia? Alzheimer’s? I was done! 😭
Sameee!!!
I love GRWM videos, regardless of whether I have the makeup that is being used. I love seeing the products that are being gravitated toward and enjoyed when it’s not trying a new product.
Gigi looks a lot like Tyler when he was a kid. Very cute!
Yes she does!! :)
You have such an incredibly sweet soul. Watching you talk about your in-laws made me get emotional too! Gigi is lucky to have you as a momma. (With your barely noticeable under eye circles and all!) Don't let the few hate comments get to you, Jess! You're beautiful just the way you are 💛
I am currently pregnant with my first child and I just sobbed with you when you started talking about the in-laws. I felt that. 💕
I have to agree, that MAC lipstick is gorgeous on you! Cody and I have been taking turns having little "nights off"...just a run through a drive through on our own. It's SO simple, but just to get an hour to ourselves once a week has really helped us!!
You’re so right. I feel like it’s such a big thing to accomplish things and not just be. I love going to the movie theater because it’s one of the times that I literally do nothing but enjoy the movie (And eat popcorn), but I for some reason struggle to do that at home because I should be doing something. The thing about using this time to accomplish something new or gain a new skill is so subjective because making it through this with your sanity is often accomplishment enough!
Adding in: please do the video on running sooner rather than later. I’ve wanted to start and have tried a few times but I feel like I have a bit of a mental block for it. I’d love to add that in to my recently added bike riding and the exercise Routine I’m trying to revive after moving.
I loved this video. You’re my go to TH-camr these days! You bring so much light to everything you do. I hate that someone is rude enough to think it’s ok to tell you what makeup you “need” or what would improve your look. Honestly, when I click on your videos, the first thing I think is how beautiful you look. Genuinely. You’ve been looking even more beautiful-I can see your inner beauty radiating, too. Thank you for your hard work and thoughtfulness when you are creating content. You are a gem!
At the end of the day no one pushed the “place order” button, but the person who CHOSE to buy it. I think if you feel pressured then for your own well-being you need to look at different content.
I love watching Mel Thompson, but she mostly reviews high end products. I watch her because she is a wealth of knowledge and very entertaining. I’ve watched her for over a year and have bought a total of one item from her recommendations.
We are responsible for our own actions. I don’t think we should expect beauty and lifestyle content creators to completely change their videos for us.
Kelli Dixon agree. I only buy things i know i dont have and need.
Totally agree. Have i bought things recently that I've seen in recent videos, yes. But i did so knowing I could afford to do it/there was a hella good sale.
I totally agree about purchases. Especially with the Sephora sale I felt like I needed to buy stuff but then realized that I don’t need anything. I also don’t need to buy anything. I can just enjoy a video about makeup and not rush to buy anything! Thank you for bringing it up! 😊
I am a teacher who just found out school is cancelled for the rest of the year 😢 I am sad, angry, confused and scared, and mainly just beyond ready for this to be over!!!!
Same. But we need to do what's best for the kiddos. It's been tricky having to learn how best to do distance learning, but we can do this. Hang in there!
Same! I feel you! 🙁 I miss my students TERRIBLY.
I’m a mom and my middle child, my only son is a senior and I feel sad for him that this has all happened during his last year of high school 😔... he is also my first child to graduate and has worked SO hard!
These are my favorites 🥰 its not just a “product” video that leads us directly to consumism, but are the same time it does have the tint of a makeup video... I also love how open and honest you are.
"If you don't enjoy coffee.. what???" I love you Jessica you crack me up 😂😂 Also you are so stunning, whoever commented on your under eyes, like who even does that? Half the time I'm actually thinking wow her under eyes look great. Trust me, there is nothing wrong with your under eyes. That person should lay off the quarenteen juice 🍸🍷🍹😂
I’ve commented before about this, but I am a speech therapist working with preschool aged children. You and Tyler do an amazing job with her! You are doing all the right things. Those developmental charts throw so many parents into a panic, keep doing what you’re doing❤️
PS- you’ve inspired me to start drinking green smoothies😅
I absolutely think you are the most refreshing “TH-camr” out there!!! I love how real you are and that your not about pushing products. When I watch ur videos I feel like I’m hanging out with a friend. Thanks for great content!!!!! Love this video
Lauren Rothman my thoughts exactly!
I absolutely love watching every 👏🏻 single 👏🏻 video you post! Your relatability through your struggles, victories and advice is unlike any other youtuber I follow! Even through the things I don’t think you mean to be informative - I learn so much!!! Your little family is my fav 💕
I'm not drinking the whine that just because someone doesn't have any money, creators shouldn't make any content about products someone might want to buy. That's lazy and ridiculous. It's not just right now, you see it on so many vids all the time (why you gotta use so many expensive products, not everyone can afford that...whaa). It's silly. If you somehow feel 'less' or upset about that sort of thing, watch something else. I certainly do NOT have money right now to be buying makeup, like so many others, so I'm just not buying any. Easy. I still wanna see what's new and I still wanna see if there's some new potential holy grail out there that one day I'll get, so make a wish list or something. Variety is a good thing. Some people are still working and maybe are unaffected by this because, for instance, they already work at home or have an online business or just have a lot of money, whatever. It's ridiculous to expect every TH-camr to only make Lux for Pennies videos. LOL Just watch something else for awhile, truly, it's ok. And it's OK to enjoy content and not feel like you have to buy everything or put it on a wish list or just enjoy seeing what's new. There are WAY more important things to complain about right now that actually matter. Stop with that. To the creators: keep doin' what you do best and enjoy. And wine cancels whine every time. LOL
Canon it’s all about personal responsibility! I enjoy the new products because I DON’T spend the money but love seeing them in use 🤣🤣🤣 I miss new product videos.
Lmfao!
You are so right! I have been packing things into my day to get done. However I do sit to watch my favorite TH-camrs. That's what I do on my breaks. It took me a good month of being home to make myself sit and watch. I love seeing you guys, I thank you for keeping going. God bless and stay safe. No you are not Telling people to go buy anything. I appreciate you checking things out for me. I can't believe people are blaming you all for us buying 😡
Oh my gosh, I can’t believe someone would comment on your under eyes! U are gorgeous and I have never even noticed anything about your under eyes!! Don’t let it get to u, u are beautiful!
My three boys grew up, left for the military, and never moved back home again. But, I was blessed to gain three wonderful daughter-in-laws 😊 So sometimes your love and joy multiplies!
There's this very odd pressure in these times that I've never felt before to be more productive than normal, which is outrageous because I'm a medical student and usually working and studying 16+ hours a day, this is the time if any to take a breather.
I'm doing my first project pan this year and I still don't really know how I feel about it because I love all my makeup and like cycling through everything which makes it harder to be successful in a project pan
I love project pan! Go ahead girl you got it
I tore my right meniscus just when all of this began. I cancelled my MRI and ortho visit, and I’m trying to heal, but I miss running sooooooo much! I hear you mention it and see fellow runners in my neighborhood, and hope I can get back one day. Also, thanks for always being so honest and authentic. I feel exactly the same way about my two grown sons, who I am blessed to be sheltering at home with as the finish college courses online. So much love, and I know that I will have to let go so they can spread their wings some day soon💕❤️
When you remove your nails babe soak your hands in warm water it loosens the glue and they'll pop right off without damaging your real nails girrrl I've been rocking press ons for years and I just learned that early this year I wish I had known haha mine are super damaged but getting better. Hope that helps girl!! 💕
Tasha St James thank you for this!!!!!
Totally agree with your opinions on “influencers.” It’s our job as consumers to decide what we can afford, what we need, what we want... personal responsibility, people. We live in a world where the mentality is to find someone else to blame instead of being responsible for our own choices. Also, your under eyes look great! You’re human and beautiful!
You should not have to apologize for the products you use or recommend. Not only do we all need to check our privilege, but we all need to take responsibility for our actions and choices. Love your honesty and your content. Keep doin' you boo!
I had the exact same experience with my son with following his milestones and when he was supposed to be speaking so many words but he wasn't. I panicked but a couple weeks later he was saying more and more words. I also gave up on following milestones it was just too stressful and I wanted to enjoy my child developing at his own pace instead of constantly worrying about what he was supposed to be doing at his age. I love these coffee and chit chat GRWM videos from you. It's nice to relate with a lot of your experiences and views.
I never used to watch vlogs like I never got the hype but I LOVE watching your vlogs!!❤️
You are probably the only beauty content provider that I’ve been able to watch during this. Yes we all have personal responsibility and should not spend above our means, but I also don’t want to watch others who are pushing new products because I don’t want to WANT it and I can’t have it. I’m even avoiding the Sephora sale videos. I don’t want to be tempted. Also, I have so many nice things already that I just want to appreciate them! Still blessed to have what I have.
I feel the same way about trying to not be productive. I can't seem to sit still or relax at all, I always get up and start cleaning or doing tasks around the house. It is something I'm trying to work on as well - don't like feeling stressed or busy all the time.
I have been doing the same!!!
Jessica, I am so impressed by what you said about in-laws. I'm 49 years old and I find that most young adults don't think about in-laws in the way you described,. The fact that you got so emotional talking about it speaks volumes. In my experience, most young adults are too self-absorbed or selfish to see things that way; and I'm talking about my own adult children here also. It takes a very unselfish person to think and feel about that the way you do. Please don't let the negative comments bother you. You are beautiful inside and out and loved and appreciated by so many. Thank you for sharing so much with us
You’ve been blessing us with the content! We’re so spoiled 🥰
Gigi will always need you Jess... I’m 32 I lost my mom almost 3 years ago I still need her.... she’ll always need you Jess! She’ll develop at her own pace before you know it she’ll be talking up a storm... ❤️
I would LOVE a running video!! I have been trying to get into running myself, I have started run/walking and I have gotten up to 2 miles so far. I would love more tips.
You are awesome! I have been following you for over 4 years in my journey of grad school and now medical school :) It is a fun escape from my busy busy study schedule to just remind myself its okay to breathe. Your videos bless me :)
I was hoping you'd post a video today - I have my coffee ready and always look forward to watching your videos. 🙂 Thanks for providing some comfort in these crazy times. Hope you and your family are doing well!
I personally am happy to continue to watch makeup content. I love the creativity with makeup, and it keeps me from watching the news. We can all try to pass blame for our spending, but we are responsible for our own choices. We have to know our own habits and make good choices for our own situation.
Hey Jess! I just wanted to say thank you, I recently binged watched your Disney vlogs on Tyler’s channel and it was so uplifting and honestly brought me so much joy during this tough time. The virus has hit close to home for me personally but just wanted to say thank you for your content on this channel and Tyler’s channel as well.
Jess, that part about not being able to make a stop and just enjoy... I learned it thanks to therapy: There’s a time to be productive and there’s a time to enjoy the accomplishments. Take time to enjoy what you’ve accomplished! Stay safe and thank you for creating such honest and refreshing content! 🙏🏽😊
I’m so grateful to be mostly “business as usual” over here as well. I feel like raising kiddos in the age of social media bliss is brutal! But we will keep it real for each other. You are doing a great job! 💕
Bless your heart! YES your children growing up and "leaving" is extremely hard. My oldest is having a child this summer, my middle just bought a house with his girlfriend and my youngest is leaving for the army in July. Time goes by so fast and before you know it they are grown! And I think you're beautiful! I always admire your glowy skin!💛
I have to add that I have learned to be a little kinder to myself (in several ways) by listening to you. We can all be so hard on ourselves and sometimes we just need to back up and tell ourselves we're doing a pretty darn good job! So for that...Thank You!
RUNNING VIDEO! Please!!! 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️
You are such a beautiful person Jessica! You are by far my favourite TH-camr because I feel like I can relate to you in so many different ways. Watching your channel has given me so much inspiration and encouragement (as if we are actual friends) in my life. You have made me look at things in ways I never thought of. Don’t let people like whoever made you feel bad about getting older brother you because it happens to us all and you are beautiful and real.
I feel like college (U.S college not sure how other international students feel) that we have to be productive all the time because we can always do more schoolwork since class is only at certain times in the day. Quarantine has really helped me just not do work for one day and realize it's ok.
Same! I was rereading Harry Potter for some time during this and now holding off until my semester is over in 3 weeks
I think you hit the nail on the head on the consumerism section of the video! This is completely uncharted territory for everyone and we are all doing the best we can, content creator or not!
Really needing some Jess time! Been down a bit being quarantined and just needed a pick me up. Thanks Jess! 💗 ya!!!
Also, we need comments on Tyler’s vlogs! It’s so hard that I can’t comment on those. 🤣😜
If you like plays, check out The Shows Must Go On channel here on TH-cam. Andrew lloyd webber plays for free every friday for 48 hours. It's really helped give my husband and I something to look forward to.
You’re so real and transparent. You’re honesty is what we love ab you !!!

I have one kid that won't touch vegetables. He's 17 now and still won't eat them. My second kid loves vegetables, she treats them as dessert. It's weird lol. She also preferred water over milk or juice. Now she's 10 and drinks sparkling water and still loves veggies. I raised them the same way. 🤷🏼♀️
This was so refreshing to watch. I have an 11 month old and I’ve been putting so much pressure on myself about helping her reach milestones - I needed to hear this!
My daughter is worried her brother's wife will have the nerve to try to be in charge. He's four and clearly she's his current queen. I cannot wait to see their dynamic as they grow.
I love my father in law too ❤️ he's this wonderful man who will do anything for us and for his grandbabies I got very lucky. I am afraid how bad of a mother in law I will be because man...I dunno...
My son went to speech therapy and all of a sudden he's at home with one liners and he's hilarious! Now that we spend more time together I realized it's not that he doesn't know the words, he just waits for that right moment and zing's you. He told his sister when she asked that she was pretty and then mumbled stinky under his breathe. So try not to worry but at the same time do not feel afraid to talk to your doctor about it. If we don't bring it up they won't know and they can give you more realistic things to look for (without Google) it gave us such piece of mind
Hey Jessica, longtime subscriber, first time commented here! I just wanted to thank you for all you do- I genuinely feel like you’re an old friend at this point, and something about watching your videos during quarantine has made life seem a little more like my normal routine. You’re so honest and genuine and I appreciate the candor and kindness you bring to TH-cam. Thank you again and hope you are all doing well!!
Same! Super crazy productive! I don’t know how to sit and chill. I never have been able to just be. My dad and his mom were the same way. I think it’s genetics, my brother is the same way.
You know what you should try under your eyes, Jessica... WHATEVER YOU WANT! Do whatever makes you feel comfortable and confident in your skin. Girl, I don’t care what you do! Make yourself happy!! ❤️
Apply the Candid Glow with your fingers! Any tool makes it look crappy. I love it, and I find it similar to the Missha BB Cream (though I haven't had the Missha very long).
kcricket39 going to try that next!!!
Jessica dont stress on haters who have nothing better to do but nit pick on ppl face . Seriously unbelievable. Amazing grwm chat truly heartfelt. Ty for showing your heart. Ly girl gby
Someone needed to say it, no one is forcing your hand to place any sephora orders!
I definitely agree on the productivity front. I was very aware of that in myself before quarantine, but this has just brought it out so much more. Before all this happened I hadn’t been without at least one job and school in almost 5 years. I miss the days when I could spend hours at a time just watching a TV show but now I feel like I have to be doing something like completing some kind of project or looking for a job where I can work from home.
The kid growing up bit got me emotional as well. I have teens and I want to cry daily....it’s going to be hard to see them leave my house. Love your content and videos!!
Elbo Knee I though my teen had left for college...now she’s back 😕.
Girl I just can’t even tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I’m next level lazy when it comes to commenting. Meaning I’ve been watching TH-cam for years and never commented on a single video. Something about you reminds me of my college friends, like hanging out watching the bachelor and talking about random shit. Keep doing you, it’s been so helpful during this time.
You have a good heart. I'm sure your in-laws feel lucky to have you in their lives. I know I would.
Something I’ve learned about myself when it comes to productivity is if I have something else to do, I HAVE to just do it, then relax. Like when you talked about how we say “should”, I should be doing something else. I have to just fold the laundry, do the dishes, whatever, then sit down. I basically say “okay I’ll be comfortable if I get these 2 things done before I relax”. Obviously everything isn’t done and I “could” do more, but I’ve given myself a limit and I don’t think about it passed that. If I had other things to do, I’d constantly sit there and remind myself I SHOULD do them, and we know that’s bad for mental health 😛
I’m loving the weekly vlogs! It makes my treadmill workout a lot more bearable😁I’m just waiting for the next 3 weeks to pass so my semester is over. I miss the commuting and in-person interaction I see in my classes. I participate here and there but I love observing that.
I relate so much on exercising for physical & mental health. I have chronic illness & mental illness and recently began doing yoga, resistance band workouts, and walking 1-2 miles a day. My favorite yoga videos to do are ones that help my lower back ie. sciatica, hips (good if you sit at a desk all day or if you’re a runner). Overall it helps with stress & chronic pain which is so important for me. Would love videos regarding exercise!
I hope you blocked the person who made that comment and then felt satisfied doing it!
Lol oh trust me, I did 🙃
I think that I watch TH-cam beauty videos to gain tips and tricks just as much as I do for the products. I enjoy watching tutorials! Thank you for continuing to create them.
"joke's on her, farting is way funnier" made me laugh out loud oh man
I enjoy watching all of your videos so much! It is so sweet to see you, Tyler and Gigi on a regular basis. You guys make such a sweet family and are wonderful parents. Don't pay any attention to the haters. Hang in there!!
I was just saying the same thing to my sister the other day about how I can’t do something without having to also be doing something else too. I love to read but anymore when I try I’m just constantly thinking I should be folding laundry or organizing something. So I’ve gotten a ton of tv watched and laundry done etc but have barely read anything in the last few weeks. But I feel like with being a single mom who is already short on time I should take this time being laid off to get as much other stuff done as possible.
Jess, your like a ray of sunshine! Sweet and gorgeous inside and out! I love watching your videos, my favorites are yours and Tyler’s vlogs! Your doing fantastic as a mother and I give you props for keeping things real!
“I hope you enjoy coffee, if you don’t..... what?” Hahahaha made me laugh 😆

AMEN to the productivity thing. I have SO many friends who have trouble shutting things down. Even during this time of quarantine, they have been trying to find activities to pass the time. Other friends have been calling them on this. I don’t know if they’ll ever stop; it’s not a switch you can keep turning on and off.
I’m so tired bc I am sleeping but NOT restful sleep. Restless and weird dreams
It took a few tries for me to find the right words but here goes; even if it takes a bit of practice, just let yourself curl up in front of the tv and watch a movie. My dog had taken over my reclining chair because I never used it but now I'm learning to hole up with a movie and the dogs each find a spot next to me and I am learning to relax. Allow yourself to do that. It's okay. Also, I just want to give you hug and I think probably the emotional roller coaster is pretty normal right now too. Just keep taking care of yourself and thank you so much for your videos Jessica. You rock.
I laughed so hard at you laughing about your crooked nails..... so much so that I dreamed about doing my own nails last night & I just could NOT get them right! 😂
She has like this adorable contagious laugh! If she starts laughing I start laughing too! Aw Jessica she really feels like a bestie ❤️
I don’t understand why youtubers are not putting as much makeup content out. I agree with you. You aren’t forcing ppl to buy makeup. I do like makeup tutorials and when there is a lot of downtime it’s nice to see them. I find them relaxing. I would love an eye look for when we have to wear masks. I’m a Nurse and I can’t wear makeup to work because of the masks that we have to wear so I’m looking for cute eye looks (because that is the only kind of makeup I can wear) Also that is the only part of our face that our pts can see. Thanks for a great video!!
Jessica, have you ever seen the movie "Our Town"? it's a classic and has also been a play and it's a book. it really makes you think about how fast our lives go by and how little we really pay attention to the important things. it really changes your perspective. i saw it years ago when i was young before social media and one thing that caught me was how little we really pay attention to each other and slow down to look someone in the eye. It is so much worse now. you can't even spend time with someone without them checking their text or talking on their phone while they are doing something with you. i really recommend the movie or the book.
i understand it's a weird situation. i love the type of video you're doing chatting on different topics. i only watch you and shelby wilson as far as beauty. I like makeup. i love to get a lipgloss in the mail it's cheers me up. i had been looking for a new foundation before this happened and sent several back. now i was going to order another to try and thought "there are people that can't' get food and I'm ordering at $40 foundation". it didn't seem right. I would love to see your video on exercising and what your doctor told you.
I love watching your videos! You're the only TH-camr that I will stop everything for just to watch your videos. Thanks for helping to keep us all entertained!
Do you notice the difference in your smile? I have been watching some of your older content and I can really see the transformation! Love your channel!
I am so glad that you were so confident and unapologetic in this video. Its ok to have opinions
