When Jess said that her house was built 30ish years ago I was thinking oh wow so like 1970? And then I stopped and thought about it and realized that her house was probably built around 1990 and I was born in 1992 and I’m not okay. 🥲
Yes girl please take care of you!!!! I’ve been watching you for YEARS and feel like you’re my BFF so please take care of you and take all the time you need!!!!!!!!!
My parents were always together. Drove to and from work together(worked at the same place which is also how they met)spent evenings together. Went to the grocery store and church together. They just enjoyed being together and family has always been the most important thing to them. They did that for 32 years and were just so content and happy. Sadly my dad passed away going on 3 years ago in his mid 50s. I know my mom is so glad they did spend so much time together since they won't get to grow old together. And I'm so blessed that I had parents who put us and each other above everything.
That’s adorable! My parents are the same. Dad (a physician) had a small private practice and mom was his office manager. They didn’t drive together but once I was in junior high they worked together for the next 25 years. They do everything and go everywhere together. It’s sweet! 🥰 I’m so sorry about the loss of your dad. It sounds like he was a good man.
You and your family are just the cutest. Your puppy voice always cracks me up 🤣 my boyfriend and I spend most of our evenings together, including getting in bed at the same time and watching silly TH-cam videos until we get sleepy. I say it’s like having a slumber party with my best friend every night!
I love that you shout out other channels all the time, I've found so many great people that way! I recently found Katie's channel too and she's great! It's the start of the shopping season!
I am a puddle of tears now 😣 we had to put down our beagle on Friday. One of the things I've always enjoyed about your vlogs is getting to see Pinocchio. Somehow I did not expect to be so overwhelmed. It hurt, but seeing you love on your beagle boy gave me all the feels.
Oh girl, I work as a nanny for 2 and I also take care of their dog Willie. Been w the family for 7 years!!! Willie was also a part of my family. He’s been here while they went on vacations. I loved him w everything in me. He was a Pittie/boxer. They had to put him down last week. My heart hurts!!! Their house is sad w/o him around. He’s not tripping me on the steps. He’s not in my way while I make the kids beds. No begging for treats. May he be always in the sun and catching the squirrels. I am all busted up inside. We don’t get enough time w them. I follow a bunch of animals on Twitter and it makes me feel better.
Spending evenings together as the default is NOT weird! Keep it in your routine so you don’t grow apart. (And maybe plan a weekly date night, but don’t forget to make a date night for yourself! Self care and nurturing relationships are both so important!)
I really appreciate how open and candid you are about everything including your mental health. So often we see TH-camrs and the "perfect" life they show on the internet and we start wondering why we can't be perfect like them. But when people are open and honest it really allows us to see that we're all the same with the same worries and fears and anxieties. It makes me (at least) not feel so alone! Enjoy your little mini break and don't sweat it, we'll be here when you come back
In the times that we’re currently living in, I don’t think you ever need to explain burnout or why you need to take time off for yourself and your family. I admire you for acknowledging it and your true followers on here will understand. Have a wonderful and restful downtime. We’ll all be here when you come back. ❤️
You say you need a break from the anxiety of this. BUT YOU RELIEVE my anxiety. Your voice and conversations literally put me to sleep sometimes. It's such a relief to just listen to normal stuff and not worry about the pandemic or other worries of the day.
Love how open you are about what you need to do for yourself. Recognizing that u r close to a burnout..n backing away for a bit is such healthy thinking. We are always gonna be here when u come back…refreshed 💖
As much as I love your content and look forward to them every week, take a break Jess!! you absolutely need and deserve it, I can't imagine filming and editing for 3 videos every week! We will all be here when you do decide to come back, rest ❤️ + also i don't understand why people get annoyed when you have sponsorships, i don't have any problems with them...on the contrary i’m very happy you're getting these sponsored deals !! tyler's hair looks like steve rogers' hair in avengers endgame lol (looks good!)
Jessica, I am so glad you are putting yourself first! I have lived with panic attacks for over 30 years, it is not FUN. I really love your channel, take care of yourself and your lovely family!!
Yes, Tyler’s editing is amazing. His travel videos are legit travel channel quality. They need to give him his own show. The Alaska cruise videos were mind blowing. I hate that we can’t compliment him on his own channel so I’ll do it here!
Omg! I HATE that we can't comment on his videos SO SO much! It drives me bonkers! I love commenting lol idk why but I do! And I know he says go to his IG and comment under the pic he posts for the vlog but it's not the same! I usually leave a couple comments as I'm actually watching the video so that doesn't work for me unfortunately! I also forget what I wanted to say 2 seconds later too. 🤪
@@elizabethleddy973 they said it was because YT dubbed it a "family channel" or something like that because they were showing Gigi a lot so I guess they turn off comments when there are children being shown a lot.
@@kelly82485 ohh I see. That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation! When I upload TH-cam videos for teaching, it always asks me if the content is “geared towards children” because that changes a lot of the settings.
Omg you have been SUCH a bright ray of sunshine for so many of us over this dark last year PLEASE take even more time off you deserve it. You’re an Angel and even angels need a break sometimes! 😇
People in a traditional 8-5 job take time away from work! EVERYONE deserves time away for themselves! You are very supported and I will be here when you get back! Much love from Southern Minnesota!
Jessica you don't need to apologize to people because you're taking time off from YT. Never justify things to other people as long as your ok with it yourself. You're an awesome person, love all your videos!! ❤❤❤
I just want you to know that your video brightened my day. My cat is dying and I’m pregnant and my anxiety is through the roof so I’m an emotional disaster. I’ve never experienced a pet dying before. She’s a member of the family and I never imagined it being so hard to get through. I might be crazy, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way about their pet. Thank you for your uplifting videos. ❤️
You’re definitely not alone in feeling that way about your cat. I’m so sorry you’re going through that. I’ve had to deal with the death of my animals over the years and it’s never easy. Just remember you loved them the best you could and gave them a good life. Pets are definitely family ❤️
Read the poem The Rainbow Bridge. It helped me when I lost my 18 year old kitty. I am sorry you are going through this pain. Praying for a healthy and safe pregnancy for you. It sounds like you gave your cat an amazing life with so much love.
The Rainbow 🌈 Bridge Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together....
I know a lot of people are already saying to take a break but I also think I'll add that I know that for myself, I love to workout. Working out and going to the gym and being outdoors is my escape... but sometimes that's overwhelming to fit in every single day. So I take off and (mostly) guilt-free will just live my life for two solid weeks without my gym/working out. And by the time those two weeks are over I'm so freaking excited to get back to it. Hopefully that will be the case for you! I love your content and I will still be here when you get back from whatever you decide to do with your time! Lots of love to you and your family!
@@stevie9202 I was thinking the same thing, who is this man with her with great hair and clean shaven and a button down shirt. Perfect for a commercial
Jess, you’re amazing. Over the last 1,5 year, you’ve become my number one person to watch on TH-cam. You and your family brought so much joy to me during this difficult time. You take all the time you need, we’ll be there to celebrate with you when you come back. We love you! Greetings from Greece ❤️
Jessica, just wanted to let you know... Your Aveeno Skin Relief Bodywash recommendation was spot on. My husband has dry itchy skin and no body wash seems to work well for his skin, it always feels dry and tight and itchy after showering. But he said that bodywash was the best one he'd ever used! And he wants to keep using it from now on! Yay!!! Thanks for the recommendation!
Added note: My husband says that not only is it the best bodywash he's ever used, he's never enjoyed a shower more because he felt cleaner and not at all itchy. Lol! His words, not mine.
I love your honesty!! I suffer from panic and anxiety attacks so I completely understand where you’re coming from!! Take care of yourself and enjoy your week off!! Love you Jessica!
@@EvelynSanchez463 I'm SO ready for Fall and Winter. I love it my husband on the other hand, really dislikes the cold. I'm in Ohio so it can get pretty cold 🥶
Jessica I’m thrilled that you are taking care of yourself. Enjoy your time to just be. Burnout and anxiety is real. Your viewers will be here whenever you decide to return. I appreciate your honesty. I’m sending you positive energy. Take care of you.
Jessica, I’m not saying this to be mean or rude, but in the beginning of this vlog I thought to myself that you looked a little worn out, and then during your last portion of the video you mentioned taking a little break. You take your time, don’t worry about uploading, I for one believe in taking time off to recharge and spend family time together, your mental health and well-being comes first. Xxxx
We all support you needing a break!!! Know that I am not a makeup wearer but watch EVERY video you make just feel like I’m spending time with my friend. Love your family and your stories…..will miss you this week and will be back when you are ready!!!!
Honestly, I’m surprised you don’t take (at least) a couple of weeks off every year and shut down YT & social media for that time. In most other jobs you’d be able to but I understand that’s harder when you’re self employed. Take whatever time you need even if you need to drop to one video a week for a few weeks. You have to do what’s best for you! 💜
I think it’s so great that creators are taking breaks from social media. So many of you guys have really been there for us through this hard time and I personally appreciate it. Take your time to regroup and refresh yourself, we’ll be here when you get back! 🤗 💕
My husband and I just hang with each other. I feel like in some ways it’s how I know I met my true best friend in my partner. I love it! I love how relatable you are. I’m about to take a week off work just to focus on my brain/mental health. You should too. It’s important. Thank you for sharing your family!! Feel like we’re friends. 🤗
I’m glad you took time off!!! You definitely don’t ever need to explain or give anyone a heads up, but I understand wanting to as well. Hope you had a great week 🥰🥰
Jess I have had cervical herniated disc issues since November. At one point they were completely unbearable. 24 hours a day, 10 days a week, non stop excruciating pain. I bought the pillow you recommended a few vids back and woah. Between my new chiro and that pillow I can sleep again. So much less pain. Thank you for that! ❤️
It's good to take time for yourself. I burnt myself out this last year. I ended needing to take a 3 month medical leave to just decompress. Enjoy your time.
Jessica! I love your Vlogs and everything you create. Make sure you take as much time as you need. You can't be the awesome YOU that we love without taking breaks and taking care of yourself! YOU are number one in your life and should go before everything.
I really appreciate you sharing that you are taking some time off. When TH-camrs just disappear I get worried😂. Enjoy your time off! We will always still be here!
Everybody needs a break every now and then, so you don't need to apologize or feel bad because you need one too. Take your time Jessica, we're here and not going anywhere. Sending you much love ❤
Thank you so sharing this with us. I have watched your videos and thought, “this person’s life is so perfect and better than mines.” I thought that you don’t have problems, but in the end, your just trying. We all are. I think we all need to be reminded that we need to reassess where we are at, and how we are feeling.
Jessica you DESERVE a break!! Your vlogs are my favorite and all your videos are helping me through postpartum right now. Take care of yourself and we will be here when you come back!
Front doors are shockingly expensive! I got one a few months ago and was floored by the price. But it makes an instant upgrade to the house so it’s worth it 😊
Jessica, good for you for listening to your body and mind. Take ALL the time you need girl! I got teary eyed at the end, overwhelmed with empathy. I feel ya, I FEEL YA🙏 We'll be here when you're well and ready to post stuff again. Health comes first, always ❤️ Sending lots of love and positive vibes xxxx
Hey Jess, I used to get headaches when I put my hair in a pony however using the ties that look like telephone cable stopped all that and i have extremely thick and butt length hair :) xx
It's amazingly generous that you share pieces of your life. Beautiful family! Also want to say how much I appreciate and enjoy your Disney trips. Thank you for sharing! You are very sweet. 💕 Pinnochio is so sweet. Reminds me of my Buddy. ❤
I’m so glad you’re taking some time for yourself. It’s important that you find some balance- this is part of that. You’ll feel energized and refreshed when you come back. 🥰 Your new door is gorgeous!! Definitely gives me some inspiration for my home
Ok, ok, LMAO! When you held up that shirt for Tyler in "salmon" the first thing that popped into my mind was the Friends episode where Ross wears a "salmon" shirt and everyone tells him it's pink. LOL! (And pink is 100% GREAT for boys and men, by the way, to be CLEAR.) :)
Proud of you for taking care of yourself! I also don’t do super well without structure (lets the depression in, you know?) so when I know I need to get away for a bit, I schedule activities to do that keep me away from my phone and all of that and are truly distracting. It helps SO much, truly. Proud of you, love you, have a good break!!! 💜💜
As always l love your vlogs so much! I hope you have a nice, relaxing time away. I think its good that you recognize when you need it...id rather be without your videos for a week or two than you pushing yourself too far and being unhappy or leaving altogether.
Yes, please take time off! It’s so important and needed and you deserve it! Don’t worry about us, we will still be here for you when you are ready to come back! Have a wonderful break! 😊
I so much love your honesty about your mental health, it's refreshing to not feel alone when you feel you need a break. I will be praying for you to be able to relax and feel better. Taking care of yourself is so healthy if that makes sense. Love you too 😘❤❤
I love that when you start talking about taking some time off I'm like mentally "yeah girl a month two weeks take what you need you work so hard" and then you're like" less than a week" hahahaha if you need longer take it! We was so much rather have a refreshed Jessica than a struggling one . Mental health is one of those things that you can usually help yourself more in the beginning before you go down a more burned-out path. So do whatever you need to do we support you and we love you (hugs from afar)
I’ve been watching through some old vlogs and I miss seeing Gigi grow up. My little girl is a year younger than Gigi and I see a lot of them in each other. I totally get why you’ve stopped showing her in vlogs but I have to admit, I do miss her. Xx
@@trishamurphy3357 yes, she mentioned in a previous vlog, maybe a few months ago. She said she would not be showing her as much. I completely understand her reasoning though. My little one is not on any of my socials. Xx
I’m glad you’re taking some time! Burnout is real & can look like depression, anxiety & other illnesses and can take a long time to recover from. I’m still trying to dig myself out of the hole from burnout. It’s a struggle, but getting better with time. Thank you for all you do! Hope you have a good time with your family, & get some real rest! 🤍
Juicyjas just came back from a 2 week break and she looks relaxed and genuinely happy. Everyone needs a break at some point. I mean with regular jobs you can take a vacation and get vacation days. At the end of the day, you make your own hours and schedule and it’s important to make room in your schedule for YOURSELF and your mental health. Take a break girl!! And come back whenever you feel like you’re ready to. We’ll be here 🙌🏻❤️
For the past couple years I’ve had a favorite color of the season I’m drawn to. For example, I’m loving shades of green for fall. Does anyone else do that?
I do the same! Two years ago mine was dark red for fall, then last year burnt orange, then spring this year I loved sage green and summer it was peach!
Dear Jessica - I've watched you over the years & can honestly say I love your honest fun & how much you're grown as a YTer. As I type this, I just completed my order for your fall merch & am wearing my "It is what it is" hat that I covet. I love this hat, wear it daily at work & on the weekends gardening & love that I can toss it in the wash! Girl, take your breaks, just like other 9-5ers, you have EARNED that vacation & your mental health is very important! So you & we'll all be here whenever you get back. Also, I received an Elf order with items your recommended in your last Elf video! Love you girl, your family is adorable & I love watching you & Tyler together! My bf & I (friends 7yrs, now dating 2yrs counting) spent time after work together & go to bed at the same time. We're also working on finding our first apt together, SO EXCITING! Watching your growth & inspiration & loving relationship inspired me to not settle for less & to keep growing & learning & loving!! 💖 💖 💖
I feel like the Essence palette might be a good alternative for combo Divine Skies/Faded Clementine palettes. Aka my dream mini palette. Thanks so much for sharing!
Jessica! You’re the sweetest sweetheart in the world. I’m 68 but I love hearing about you and your lovely family. I was a school psychologist my son has a doctorate in special education my daughter-in-law is a school psychologist and my daughter teaches special education so we have those kind of hearts like yours. You are funny and engaging and honest.You don’t have to explain that you need time off because everyone does. No matter what they do. It’s OK! See you soon. XOXO
When you make your return I hope we get a Braun Book Review soon! I’ve been needing some new reads and love all the books you recommend. I just finished “The invisible life of addie larue” and the whole time I kept thinking you would love it if you haven’t read it already! P.s. Enjoy your bit of respite! ☺️
Jessica enjoy your break💕💕💕 Your videos are such a great vibe and they always leave me in a great mood and help me feel better when I'm having a "bad day" Take time for your mental health, well be here when u get back🤍
Jessica THANK YOU for shouting out my channel! I have been subscribed to you for over 5 years and always felt so connected to you from our mutual love of Disney! Thank you endlessly!!
Always grateful to see TH-camrs I love talk transparently about taking care of themselves. Enjoy your break, we’ll be here when you feel ready to come back ❤️
Take more than that sweet lady! You can’t give out if you don’t put into yourself. Give yourself permission to just enjoy your life. I have really enjoyed a peak into your life. I love your transparency.

Omg I was in college in 1992.😁
Omg @Angela Maria….. me too! Totally! Lol! I thought…Oh yeah….the 70’s! 🤣
Hahaha I thought the 70s too and didn't even realise my mistake until I read your comment 😂 oh man time flies so fast!
Hahah yea, I was born 90 and was like oh...their house isn't that old 😆
Yes girl please take care of you!!!! I’ve been watching you for YEARS and feel like you’re my BFF so please take care of you and take all the time you need!!!!!!!!!

So I take off and (mostly) guilt-free will just live my life for two solid weeks without my gym/working out. And by the time those two weeks are over I'm so freaking excited to get back to it. Hopefully that will be the case for you! I love your content and I will still be here when you get back from whatever you decide to do with your time! Lots of love to you and your family!
I'm only a couple minutes in, but are we not going to discuss how great Tyler's hair looks? It is so voluminous lol.
It is so voluminous and bouncy!
It's very Steve Rogers-y. Especially in the first movie.
I was just thinking that. Got that primetime commercial hair going.
@@stevie9202 I was thinking the same thing, who is this man with her with great hair and clean shaven and a button down shirt. Perfect for a commercial
I totally thought that too!
Your hair in the clip where your hauling the stuff you got, SO PRETTTTTTY OMG it looks soooooo good
Jess, you’re amazing. Over the last 1,5 year, you’ve become my number one person to watch on TH-cam. You and your family brought so much joy to me during this difficult time. You take all the time you need, we’ll be there to celebrate with you when you come back. We love you! Greetings from Greece ❤️
Jessica, just wanted to let you know... Your Aveeno Skin Relief Bodywash recommendation was spot on. My husband has dry itchy skin and no body wash seems to work well for his skin, it always feels dry and tight and itchy after showering. But he said that bodywash was the best one he'd ever used! And he wants to keep using it from now on! Yay!!! Thanks for the recommendation!
Added note: My husband says that not only is it the best bodywash he's ever used, he's never enjoyed a shower more because he felt cleaner and not at all itchy. Lol! His words, not mine.
Took my first medical school exams today… I needed this! ❤️
have my cardiology exam tomorrow! this was a much needed break
Good Luck Mary!💐
I love your honesty!! I suffer from panic and anxiety attacks so I completely understand where you’re coming from!! Take care of yourself and enjoy your week off!! Love you Jessica!
I think I’m one of the few who loves winter, I love the cold cozy weather.
I prefer winter as well! ❄️ ⛄️
I love winter but I’m in California and we don’t get “real” winters 😆
@@EvelynSanchez463 oh yeah I’m in NYC and we GET winters lol
@@EvelynSanchez463 I'm SO ready for Fall and Winter. I love it my husband on the other hand, really dislikes the cold. I'm in Ohio so it can get pretty cold 🥶
I’m in Indiana and am so looking forward to the cooler Fall weather! I love winter too! Snow makes me happy but I hate ice!
Jessica I’m thrilled that you are taking care of yourself. Enjoy your time to just be. Burnout and anxiety is real. Your viewers will be here whenever you decide to return. I appreciate your honesty. I’m sending you positive energy. Take care of you.
Jessica, I’m not saying this to be mean or rude, but in the beginning of this vlog I thought to myself that you looked a little worn out, and then during your last portion of the video you mentioned taking a little break. You take your time, don’t worry about uploading, I for one believe in taking time off to recharge and spend family time together, your mental health and well-being comes first. Xxxx
Hi Tracy
We all support you needing a break!!! Know that I am not a makeup wearer but watch EVERY video you make just feel like I’m spending time with my friend. Love your family and your stories…..will miss you this week and will be back when you are ready!!!!
Honestly, I’m surprised you don’t take (at least) a couple of weeks off every year and shut down YT & social media for that time. In most other jobs you’d be able to but I understand that’s harder when you’re self employed.
Take whatever time you need even if you need to drop to one video a week for a few weeks. You have to do what’s best for you! 💜
Exactly! TH-cam is a job and people who have jobs are entitled to time off work!
I think it’s so great that creators are taking breaks from social media. So many of you guys have really been there for us through this hard time and I personally appreciate it. Take your time to regroup and refresh yourself, we’ll be here when you get back! 🤗 💕
My husband and I just hang with each other. I feel like in some ways it’s how I know I met my true best friend in my partner. I love it! I love how relatable you are. I’m about to take a week off work just to focus on my brain/mental health. You should too. It’s important. Thank you for sharing your family!! Feel like we’re friends. 🤗
Hello Lisa
I’m glad you took time off!!! You definitely don’t ever need to explain or give anyone a heads up, but I understand wanting to as well. Hope you had a great week 🥰🥰
YES! Taking time for yourself is so important. Glad that you can do this, as well as shed light on the importance of doing so. 👏🏼👏🏼
Jess I have had cervical herniated disc issues since November. At one point they were completely unbearable. 24 hours a day, 10 days a week, non stop excruciating pain. I bought the pillow you recommended a few vids back and woah. Between my new chiro and that pillow I can sleep again. So much less pain. Thank you for that! ❤️
Tyler is giving heavy dad vibes in this vlog haha love it!
It's good to take time for yourself. I burnt myself out this last year. I ended needing to take a 3 month medical leave to just decompress. Enjoy your time.
You know you’re an adult when going to Home Depot is exciting 😂 …and thoroughly enjoying watching you guys go 😂😂
Jessica! I love your Vlogs and everything you create. Make sure you take as much time as you need. You can't be the awesome YOU that we love without taking breaks and taking care of yourself! YOU are number one in your life and should go before everything.
I really appreciate you sharing that you are taking some time off. When TH-camrs just disappear I get worried😂. Enjoy your time off! We will always still be here!
Hello how are you doing my friend
Everybody needs a break every now and then, so you don't need to apologize or feel bad because you need one too. Take your time Jessica, we're here and not going anywhere. Sending you much love ❤
Thank you so sharing this with us. I have watched your videos and thought, “this person’s life is so perfect and better than mines.” I thought that you don’t have problems, but in the end, your just trying. We all are.
I think we all need to be reminded that we need to reassess where we are at, and how we are feeling.
Jessica you DESERVE a break!! Your vlogs are my favorite and all your videos are helping me through postpartum right now. Take care of yourself and we will be here when you come back!
Front doors are shockingly expensive! I got one a few months ago and was floored by the price. But it makes an instant upgrade to the house so it’s worth it 😊
Truth. I replaced my front and back door last year and had sticker shock
Love you, Jessica. You take care of you and know that you have our support and prayers. Thank you for being honest and relatable. You are the best!
My hatred of summer runs deep. BRING ON FALL
Hello 👋
Jessica, good for you for listening to your body and mind. Take ALL the time you need girl! I got teary eyed at the end, overwhelmed with empathy. I feel ya, I FEEL YA🙏 We'll be here when you're well and ready to post stuff again. Health comes first, always ❤️ Sending lots of love and positive vibes xxxx
Hey Jess, I used to get headaches when I put my hair in a pony however using the ties that look like telephone cable stopped all that and i have extremely thick and butt length hair :) xx
Good to know! I've had the headache issue from ponytails issue since I was little, I have thick and long hair. I'll try those ties out!
It's amazingly generous that you share pieces of your life. Beautiful family! Also want to say how much I appreciate and enjoy your Disney trips. Thank you for sharing! You are very sweet. 💕 Pinnochio is so sweet. Reminds me of my Buddy. ❤
Be well darling, take good care of yourself, we understand! Proud of you and praying for a refreshing time of calm and restoration! xoxo
Hi Susan
I’m so glad you’re taking some time for yourself. It’s important that you find some balance- this is part of that. You’ll feel energized and refreshed when you come back. 🥰
Your new door is gorgeous!! Definitely gives me some inspiration for my home
Hi how are you doing my friend
Ok, ok, LMAO! When you held up that shirt for Tyler in "salmon" the first thing that popped into my mind was the Friends episode where Ross wears a "salmon" shirt and everyone tells him it's pink. LOL! (And pink is 100% GREAT for boys and men, by the way, to be CLEAR.) :)
Hahah 💯
Love that you are speaking up and looking out for your mental health!! I needed to hear that myself❤️
You go girl! Take some time for yourself and recharge! We will be here when you get back!
Take this time! So many people are feeling this way. Take the time you need to relax and re-energize. ❤️❤️
Good for you for taking time for YOU! Take all the time you need. We will wait for you!!
Proud of you for taking care of yourself! I also don’t do super well without structure (lets the depression in, you know?) so when I know I need to get away for a bit, I schedule activities to do that keep me away from my phone and all of that and are truly distracting. It helps SO much, truly. Proud of you, love you, have a good break!!! 💜💜
As always l love your vlogs so much! I hope you have a nice, relaxing time away. I think its good that you recognize when you need it...id rather be without your videos for a week or two than you pushing yourself too far and being unhappy or leaving altogether.
Jessica take the time you need, don’t be hard on yourself. Give yourself space and do what feels better for you
Love seeing you take time for yourself. You’ve earned it, and it’s SO important!
Yes, please take time off! It’s so important and needed and you deserve it! Don’t worry about us, we will still be here for you when you are ready to come back! Have a wonderful break! 😊
The fact that you have a beagle makes me love you even more. I love my beagle girl Sophie. Beagles are the coolest dogs .
I so much love your honesty about your mental health, it's refreshing to not feel alone when you feel you need a break. I will be praying for you to be able to relax and feel better. Taking care of yourself is so healthy if that makes sense. Love you too 😘❤❤
Actually I do not enjoy summer. I hate heat. I sweat horribly and it's just miserable to be hot. I would be happy if it was fall and spring all year.
Ditto! I’m fro. Texas where it’s like 1,000 degrees! Fall is my fave!
That tan color actually looks STUNNING on you!! I think neutrals look beautiful on your hair color and complexion
Cracked me up when you said: “my hair is done, makeup is done, because… I’m going to target” 😂💕
I love that when you start talking about taking some time off I'm like mentally "yeah girl a month two weeks take what you need you work so hard" and then you're like" less than a week" hahahaha if you need longer take it! We was so much rather have a refreshed Jessica than a struggling one . Mental health is one of those things that you can usually help yourself more in the beginning before you go down a more burned-out path. So do whatever you need to do we support you and we love you (hugs from afar)
Gonna miss you, but glad you are taking some time fir yourself! It’s important! So no worries! We will be here when you (and the family) return.
Thank you for your honesty Jess 🤗 Mental health is important so glad you are listening to yourself and taking a break 💖
I’ve been watching through some old vlogs and I miss seeing Gigi grow up. My little girl is a year younger than Gigi and I see a lot of them in each other. I totally get why you’ve stopped showing her in vlogs but I have to admit, I do miss her. Xx
Did she discuss not showing Gigi anymore? If so, I missed it. Thanks!
@@trishamurphy3357 yes, she mentioned in a previous vlog, maybe a few months ago. She said she would not be showing her as much. I completely understand her reasoning though. My little one is not on any of my socials. Xx
I’m glad you’re taking some time! Burnout is real & can look like depression, anxiety & other illnesses and can take a long time to recover from. I’m still trying to dig myself out of the hole from burnout. It’s a struggle, but getting better with time. Thank you for all you do! Hope you have a good time with your family, & get some real rest! 🤍
can we get a count of how many times Jess says "cute" at target? 😂🤣😂🤣
Juicyjas just came back from a 2 week break and she looks relaxed and genuinely happy. Everyone needs a break at some point. I mean with regular jobs you can take a vacation and get vacation days. At the end of the day, you make your own hours and schedule and it’s important to make room in your schedule for YOURSELF and your mental health. Take a break girl!! And come back whenever you feel like you’re ready to. We’ll be here 🙌🏻❤️
For the past couple years I’ve had a favorite color of the season I’m drawn to. For example, I’m loving shades of green for fall. Does anyone else do that?
Yes!!! Last year it was mustard yellow and this year it is olive green. I thought it was just me!
I do the same! Two years ago mine was dark red for fall, then last year burnt orange, then spring this year I loved sage green and summer it was peach!
Your hair looks great in the part where you were wearing the blue dress talking about your Target finds!
I love that you light up when you talk about Tyler and Gigi.
Girl! Take your time!! & 3 videos is crazy. 1 is fantastic even & not worth getting burnt out. I hope you get to enjoy time off 💕
I want merch that says something like "weirdly excited " lol
Hello Amanda
Dear Jessica - I've watched you over the years & can honestly say I love your honest fun & how much you're grown as a YTer. As I type this, I just completed my order for your fall merch & am wearing my "It is what it is" hat that I covet. I love this hat, wear it daily at work & on the weekends gardening & love that I can toss it in the wash! Girl, take your breaks, just like other 9-5ers, you have EARNED that vacation & your mental health is very important! So you & we'll all be here whenever you get back. Also, I received an Elf order with items your recommended in your last Elf video! Love you girl, your family is adorable & I love watching you & Tyler together! My bf & I (friends 7yrs, now dating 2yrs counting) spent time after work together & go to bed at the same time. We're also working on finding our first apt together, SO EXCITING! Watching your growth & inspiration & loving relationship inspired me to not settle for less & to keep growing & learning & loving!! 💖 💖 💖
I feel like the Essence palette might be a good alternative for combo Divine Skies/Faded Clementine palettes. Aka my dream mini palette. Thanks so much for sharing!
You should have a seasonal color analysis done to find out your season! It’s really fun! I love your channel, glad you’re taking a break!
What lip color are you wearing in the car? It’s beautiful.
Hi
I love your honesty. Mental health is beyond important. Take your time off girl!!
My husband and I spend our evenings together and go to bed together too. So I understand when you decide to do something different.
Jessica! You’re the sweetest sweetheart in the world. I’m 68 but I love hearing about you and your lovely family. I was a school psychologist my son has a doctorate in special education my daughter-in-law is a school psychologist and my daughter teaches special education so we have those kind of hearts like yours. You are funny and engaging and honest.You don’t have to explain that you need time off because everyone does. No matter what they do. It’s OK! See you soon. XOXO
When you make your return I hope we get a Braun Book Review soon! I’ve been needing some new reads and love all the books you recommend. I just finished “The invisible life of addie larue” and the whole time I kept thinking you would love it if you haven’t read it already! P.s. Enjoy your bit of respite! ☺️
I loved that book!
No doors are expensive. That door looks amazing 😍. Take time off. Recharge, get re-energized and panic attacks suck. Love you too 💗
Where did you get your robe that you were wearing in this Vlog and what brand is it? Love it!
Hello Sarah
A break is very much needed! Enjoy your time off Jessica! Love your content :)
In the words of the late great Eliza Hamilton, “Take a break!”
Jessica enjoy your break💕💕💕 Your videos are such a great vibe and they always leave me in a great mood and help me feel better when I'm having a "bad day" Take time for your mental health, well be here when u get back🤍
Thanks Jessica for expressing what a lot of us are feeling.
Jessica THANK YOU for shouting out my channel! I have been subscribed to you for over 5 years and always felt so connected to you from our mutual love of Disney! Thank you endlessly!!
Always grateful to see TH-camrs I love talk transparently about taking care of themselves.
Enjoy your break, we’ll be here when you feel ready to come back ❤️
Take more than that sweet lady! You can’t give out if you don’t put into yourself. Give yourself permission to just enjoy your life. I have really enjoyed a peak into your life. I love your transparency.
