    Hugs to you for having to feel like you need to defend yourself for half a video over your grocery habits or drinking more wine or taking more baths. You do you boo! It’s ok and don’t feel like you have to defend yourself. People are horrible and you are so far above them that you DO NOT NEED TO EXPLAIN! Once again hugs mama

    You do not have to explain anything. Not one single thing.
    People that have said mean things to you or judge you, they need to worry about themselves, not you.
    Never let them get to you Jen, never.
    You are wonderful....keep doing you.

    I hope if people judge you for this video, they judge you positively. I feel like you shopped so responsibly during those times: Only going every 10-14 days, going to only one store, and going alone to reduce the crowds (especially going without your children!). A lot of people are not respecting those guidelines right now!

  • @alishiainsane13
    @alishiainsane13 4 ปีที่แล้ว +34

    I would just like to say that in the present time, buying the overpriced options of food and other necessary items is actually extremely helpful to less privileged people, because it leaves the cheap and affordable things on the shelf longer. I have been in the stores trying to find my normal necessities, and while the shelves aren't completely empty, they might as well be when the only options left are $18 fancy peanut butter and $20 chocolates. (yes, I consider chocolate essential) XD So it doesn't bother me at all to see this kind of haul.

    May I remind you, how many people you have helped daily over the years with organising, decorating, planning, lifestyle and fitness.
    You are a BLESSING to all of us and no one should judge you EVER !!! Not only is this a difficult time for all of us but for you especially with what is happening in your life , which I was truly sorry to hear about. Jen...."YOU" take care of "YOU" ....PLEASE, because at any moment anyone of us could lose our minds. We will get passed this and things will be back to normal very soon. I enjoy your daily vlogs and anything you are willing to put out. Please remember, "Don't be so hard on yourself" We need you, your kids and parents need you too. Much love and hugs to you.

    Thank you for continuing to post videos, especially during this time. It really does give us a little break just to watch someone else for a bit. And a chance to connect with the outside world. I think we all need a few of those non-essentials to get us by as well. I don’t think there is any shame in self-care. Nor does anyone have to feel bad about their feelings during these difficult days. All of our routines are turned upside down and we are living in ways we never have before. That’s a lot to handle, and if chocolate makes it a little easier, then by all means eat the chocolate. Again, thanks for sharing. It does help.

    I'm a nurse, and so have been really stressing at work, so I have been spending a bit extra on self care this last few weeks, including a few extra bottles of my favourite sangria, a few too many orders from Lush (which i justify by saying they need financial support) and like you (just a few) to many containers of my favourite ice-cream haha. Yes, you are privileged as am I, but people have a way of making others feel guilty for being so, which is ridiculous. I love your vlogs and seeing how you and the kids are handling the quarantine, which includes a whole foods haul. And to be honest its good people who are more privileged continue to show at a bit more pricer stores so that the shelves at the other stores have a bit more stock for people who can't afford to go to whole foods. Thanks, for sharing your life, and giving a tired nurse something to watch after a long shift. Take care!

    OMG you are the best mom ever that is an incredible food haul and I'm impressed you found so much available. I agree you don't need to apologize for having wine and comforts. A mom needs to self-care and now more than ever. If you are happy and looking after yourself then your kids will appreciate it (since you won't be stressed with them!). If you only have a little wine at a time, they make some good boxed wines. I do that and sometimes have just a half glass (ha ha let's be honest, it's a glass and a half !). Take care and these videos help a lot since it's nice to know that other people are all going through the same thing and we're here for each other (virtually).

Our Prime Minister says we can go out to get what we need and if that's chocolate, wine, puzzles, games, newspapers to get us through then that's what we need. We're all in this together and we will all get through it. Stay safe and thank you for continuing to post, we're all thinking about you all! Yes, we've got toilet paper now too!! Woohoo!!

It's totally ok to have it in moderation. 🍷 Hope you have a great week!

    Thanks for sharing Jen! Fresh flowers 💐 and enjoying my nicer bottles of wine have been little luxuries that make my home happy during this time.

    I've been buying new PJs that I love and a couple new little spring things which make going for walks with my significant other a little more fun! New outfits make me feel better

    I went out to purchase myself a birthday cake. I wasn’t going to do it- but you only turn 40 once and even though the world is crazy right now, I wanted a ice cream cake for my bday. So we went through the Dairy Queen drive thru to get one🎂 it ended up being a good day home with my family ❤️

    I bought a couple bags of party sized chips to last a couple weeks. We ate them within a few days 🤦‍♀️.... Stress eating has been a real issue but it is what it is right now.

    Jen, you are one of my favorite if not very favorite content creators. I've watched you for a long time. I'm sorry people judge you. It's ridiculous!!! You are a wonderful mom, friend, daughter, etc....... No one should judge you. I wish I was as disciplined as you are with workouts, food choices & all. Keep doing you, that's who we all fell in love with. Stay safe. 😘

    Girl, I love grocery hauls!!! Show us your foodies! People should have no say in what you buy that feeds your bodies and your soul. People judge no matter what. I just love seeing what other people buy!

    For some reason those diamond painting kits are my splurge. I don't know why but sticking dots to canvas is sooooo soothing when I get off work. Most mornings I can still hear all the monitor alarms from the ER in my head and can't sleep yet lol

    Jen, I’ve been your subscriber honestly for about 7 or 8 or 9 years now and I’ve seen you go through a lot. If you want wine, chocolate, ice cream, or even to scream at the top of your lungs just do it without caring about what people think. Do you, find time for you because if you don’t you’ll stress even more. Let it all out when the kids go away so you can be good when they get back and then just do it all over again. You know why you need to be selfish once in a while??? Because you ARE going through a lot girl. You are doing it all and you are doing a great job but remember just take a step back and breathe 🙂 love you baby girl.

    We went to Whole Foods because it was empty and I'd rather spend 3x the amount on food then catch that nasty virus. I'm a nursing student (graduate in 9 weeks with my BSN) and I see what this virus is doing to people and it has me scared to death. Everyone PLEASE take this seriously and thank you Jen for sharing and using your platform to reach more people and hopefully make something click in someone's head. THIS IS SERIOUS. Also, we did a food run for 2 weeks because we're hitting our peak in late April..early May and I'm trying not to shop often. Great haul and no judgement here!

We know you appreciate what you have and you are the most humble person I know on TH-cam - that is why I have followed you for over 10 years!

    From one Mama to another- you drink your wine and let’s clink our glasses- mine is a bourbon and Diet Coke. As a poor, projects girl then homeless- didn’t go to high school- to wife of banker and comfortable in life as an adult- I still feel guilty over my comfortable life. Then I get angry for feeling that way. We’ve worked hard to get here and I never forget where I came from. Stay humble Jen! I’ve been with you since the early days of what’s in my purse at your kitchen table! 💖 Love your channel, thanks for sharing. It’s comforting to feel like I’m not alone in this. 😊

    I always have wine or ice cream for those moments. Some times chocolate cake.

    Jen, My life is turned upside down and I am grateful to you for sharing. Not one item you brought is questionable or should be judged. I am working from home and 2020 has been the toughest year and it’s only March. Please ignore the trollers who are miserable. Love you and your babies loads. My 23 month old gives me joy along with some wine 😉

    I don't comment or post much here, but I want you to know how that I love getting to watch your vlogs and check in with you. Your content inspires me and helps me feel less alone. I love hearing about your meals and am often inspired by your plant based choices (I eat a vegan diet). Thank you for sharing yourself and your life with us. My non-essential luxury has been to occasionally order take out from my favorite local vegan cafe. The owner pivoted her business model to be able to offer order ahead options with contactless pick up. In addition to getting treats for me and my family, I like being able to support her.

    I've been watching since 2014 with a few breaks here and there and don't think I've ever commented, but I have to say that you are becoming more and more real and down to earth. I really like seeing your self consciousness peel away like a tight pair of shoes.

  • @myhappyplace718
    @myhappyplace718 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Jen, you are the first youtuber that I ever started to follow on you tube. I remember seeing your office and organisation videos and getting sooooo inspired. I still remember trying to set up a filofax just like yours - If I am not mistaken it was an A5 purple filofax you had and I went on to purchase a finsbury raspberry just because you were an inspiration to me. You are the first reason I started loving all organisation videos and stuff. I love your videos and right now I feel so near you because my experience is similar to yours. I know the struggle of people being judgemental (for this reason I disable comments), but from my point of view I am thinking that you do not need to give any explanations to anyone for buying extra food, not now not ever. It's your life, your money, you earned them legally and decently and so as an adult you have every right to use them as you please (as long as it is legal :) ) Whoever does not like it, can just go onto another channel. As a mom you have every right to think about your family and you have to do it in the right way as you believe. No one is better than any other. We are different and we all have our opinions. It doesn't mean that one opinion is better than another. Everyone seems to be all the time offended by everything. In a time when there is so much uncertainty no one should judge because it comes natural that we try to survive in the way we best can. Jen, never let anyone meddle in your confidence or make you doubt your choices for you and your family. You are a good person, a good mom and I am sure you are a good wife (no matter your status now). Stay strong, you encourage me and you inspire me. Love XOXO Sonia
