Thank you for such a refreshing video and speaking up for your friend. There are some terrible humans out there. I found you yesterday and will continue watching. Your content is so informative and practical.
Well said, Jen…..frightening times we live in and therefore, reminders and examples of kindness and grace are needed, now more than ever….”evil prevails when good people say nothing”…. Hoping I have the strength of character to speak up when needed, the older I get, the more I am thinking I do……
Oh Jen - I too have felt so much sorrow and anger this week for more than one reason. The world is a heavy place these days. Thank you for speaking out and so openly sharing your heart. Also a runner (57 years old) who used to run at least a couple half’s a year and trying to get back to it… yup. Those mental health benefits are REAL!
Jen, sorry to hear about your friend’s experience. Hopefully the next generation gets things right when it comes to being decent and caring to all. Based on my 2 young adult sons’ behaviour and interactions, I believe they will! Do enjoy your vacay! Everyone deserves some private downtime. Cheers!
Good luck on the running. I was an avid runner and ran many marathons UNTIL severe leg pain which was a pinched nerve in my back requiring two surgeries. After 18 months off I am also slowly starting again, I have really missed it.
Matthew Shepard’s mother, Judy, getting the Medal Of Freedom should be a reminder to all of us of the horrific pain she endured losing her son to a heinous crime of hatred. We are or should be better than this!
My husband works for Fords Theater and Matthew Shepherds mom came to the opening performance of Laramie Project that the theater did a few years back. Across the street from the opening was the westborro Baptist church protesting and the things their signs said were so heinous. This woman lost her son in a brutal, terrible way, and people feel the need to hold these signs in front of her about how he deserved to die like that. The things that woman has had to endure, truly breaks my heart.
I am a volunteer at a charity shop near where I live in England and so appreciate what you say about not taking your rubbish to the donation center. We do get lots of stuff that is totally unsaleable and goes straight into our trash container. We do, of course, also get a great deal of lovely, previously loved items.
We are commanded to love, not hate or judge or demean others. I am sorry that your friend had that experience but I'm glad he had you to call. I'm glad that you're that person. Now go enjoy your vacation!
Love Swedish death cleaning. Currently trying to empty a house from my parents who have been there for 68 years, just so much stuff. Also trying to declutter my stuff.
You are a kind and wonderful person. You’re very inspirational. Also I really appreciate all your travel advice and your suggestions for things to get that will help with Travel. Thanks.
Just back from a vaycay and watching this late. I love this video for the inspiration to purge, your humour (pretend I run faster) and your heartfelt and very well articulated response to a very upsetting and unacceptable incident that happened to a friend. What a vlog!
I know of the incident you were referring to as I am a follower of that individual on socials, and it upset me greatly as well - especially as someone extremely near and dear to me is a member of LGBTQ community. I appreciate that you speak out against hatred in all forms, and I aspire to do the same myself in whatever way that I can. Thanks so much for using your platform to share a kind, accepting perspective that is so badly needed in the world today.
I love your packing videos. My favorite place to rehome travel items is my local foster care organization. Many of the children they serve move from place to place in garbage bags. Not judging where you donate, just letting people know about an option
I still can’t believe that situation happened. It’s ridiculous. And the fact that it’s getting worse and occurring more and more. It’s sickening. Anyway, I hope that run helped and going on vacation. Love you, Jen, and everything you stand for! 💛
What you said about where you donated resonated with me. I have a few ways I like to do it myself, depending on what it is and if I am attached in a way that makes me want to know the item keeps living its best life. It’s sobering how much hate foments and surfaces these days. 😢
After seeing your vids pop up in my feed over recent times, I finally decided to subscribe in the first few minutes of this video - even though the content is mainly US based, it’s fun to watch and it can still be relevant for general international travel. Also, I love packing videos. But anyway, just minutes after I’d subscribed, your caring comments as an ally came up and I was so glad that I’d already subscribed. I have constant anxiety for my loved ones just going about their daily lives, so it’s always heartening to see some niceness and kindness x Thanks and best wishes for a great next trip!
I’m so sorry your friend had to go through that:(. You are so right, we have to do better! I am a very proud Mom/ally to my beautiful daughter who is part of the lgbtq community & I recently became the chairperson for our local pflag organization. There is no space for hate, everyone belongs no matter who you are or who you love🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ I hope you get some much deserved downtime & need to let u know even though I don’t often comment, I love how real & authentic you are & you always make me giggle:) have an amazing trip!!:) thank you for being you!
We just cancelled ours with this last trip but if you go down at least a couple times a year and especially if you have kids you travel with can make sense! We are only going once a year or so now and I no longer felt it served us
I love that reset rule, I feel like I get discouraged about my organizing but remembering it's a continuous task and should be maintained not perfect is helpful. I hope you had a marvelous trip.
Your bedroom is just beautiful! The style and elegance of it are such a reflection of you and your classiness. And of course, the blue and white ha ha.💖
Sometimes I pretend I’m you and doing a day in the life video. 😂. It keeps me focused. I loved everything about this video except about your dear friend. I saw the post you’re referring to and I still feel upset about it. I’m glad he’s surrounded by good people like you. ❤. He’s such a gentle soul and that was heartbreaking. Now on to my pretend Day In The Life video!
I pretend I'm the babysitter at my house when I'm cleaning. 😂 When I was a sitter, I'd clean and think about how cool it would be to be the adult that owns all this awesomeness.
Ok...I just have to tell you that I am on the hunt for a new carry on and have been watching reviews and reading reviews of various brands and my husband said "you should get whatever Jen Lefforge uses!" 😀😀
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge it’s about to end as my daughter is on her way home from school 🤣 it’s a Bank Holiday weekend here though so lots of time to watch. Oh by the way, am loving Adam’s vlogs from your last Disney cruise. You always look so elegant and seem so fun to be around🥰 love your vlogs together xxxx
Enjoyed another informative and inspirational video. I could see how upset you were and I'm so sorry for your friends experience. Thanks for sharing positive thoughts on how people can make a difference. As a gay man I just want to live and let live with everyone I encounter in my life. For the most part everything has been positive. Hope you have an awesome vacation. 👍💕😋👬🌈
I love packing videos, find them so therapeutic (but also make me wish I was packing for a trip). I may have missed it but Jen, what about shoes? I didn't see you pack any. Do you just have one trusty pair that you live in?
I’m new, but of the videos I’ve watched and scrolled by, seems like you are always on vacation somewhere lol what do you do that you’re able to live so freely? I know from your Tumi, your husband is a pilot.
I am a travel vlogger! I make videos about my travels and I get paid from TH-cam (google adsense) as well as from affiliate marketing and my patrons who support the business side of things. It’s a whole thing and I’m super thankful that this is my actual job!
I was just at Disneyworld.!! a solo trip last week for my birthday! Would have loved to have met you. But alas no star alignment. Hope you had a wonderful trip.
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge I also saw the video you mentioned since I consider him family(even though I have never met him). Been following for ages. I was heart broken.
Love this type of vlog Jen! So sorry to hear your friend had such a horrible thing happened to him...hope he's doing okay. For merino wool shirts, do you like Unbound or Wood& more? Unbound seems a little more expensive but not sure what their big differences are if they are both merino wool? Also, do you have any recommendations for comfy wide leg pants that's good for travel? One last thing, your Burberry trench coat purchase "inspired" me to get one! I thought about it before a few times but still wasn't sure if it's worth it, and it's very helpful to hear someone that doesn't chase designer items and say, "yes it's a lot more money but worth it!". So thank you for doing that video! Going to Europe soon so I'm hoping to get mine at the airport as well!
So I really like both brands and yes both have merino wool although check the blend - wool and has a lot of pieces with nylon which isn’t a bad thing and can help with wear but just check that part. My dresses from Wooland are some of my favorite pieces but form basic tshirts I would go with Unbound Merino. And for wide leg pants definitely check Spanx and JJill - they have some good quality options

Kindly, Sharlot ☺️🌻🌱✨🧚
Right with you with the “getting back into running” 2020 me picked it up and was doing 15-20km three times a week with a friend. We both dropped off when real life resumed. I managed 6km on monday and today and only kind of wish for death- goals :D
It makes me so sad when I hear of people receiving hate for being who they want (and need) to be. Breaks my heart. And I agree with you, if we don’t say or do anything about it, then we are part of the problem too. I hope you were able to put this ugliness to the side and you were still able to enjoy your vacation Jen. You deserve a nice self pampering vacation! 🤗
Thank you so much for your allyship for LGBTQ community. I just discovered you and your videos and I love them. Thank you for sharing your experiences and advice.
I don't know what happened, but I have someone I love in LGBTQ, and this scares the hell out of me (it would even if I didn't......but it hits so close to home now). On another note--- I love day in the life videos. Thank you!
I'm so sorry your friend had to endure that kind of abuse. And you're right, as LGBTQ+ allies, we need to do better in calling out bigotry and supporting LGBT organisations when we can 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
So glad you mentioned the homophobic incident, when I saw his post on the day it happened I was so upset for him it was awful and I totally agree with what you said. 😘 I would love a walk in wardrobe ( closet) but in our smallish home here in the UK I only have a small freestanding wardrobe and a 3 drawer chest of drawers and it’s all full to the limit! Most of the clothes hangers in my wardrobe have at least 2 items on! I do find it hard to let go of things but I know I would totally benefit from it and feel much more organised! Do a bit now & then when I’m ‘in the mood’ 😂 xx
So on point. I'm picky about where I donate and only donate things that I feel I would still use but for whatever reason don't any more. As far as the hate, preach it sister. My son's sister (not my daughter and no longer my step-daughter but very much my child still) was married for years to a man, had a child and later in life after her divorce fell in love with a woman. We live in Georgia like you do, so they could not legally marry here but did go up north and got married there. Her father refuses to even speak to her, which she has learned to live with since she and her wife have a very good life without him. My son was married to a woman of color for a few years and their father didn't speak to him then either. After my son divorced and now has a beautiful 3 year old little girl by his current partner, his dad wants to get back in with him. Both he (my son) and his sister are just fine not having someone like that in their lives.
Thank you for such a refreshing video and speaking up for your friend. There are some terrible humans out there. I found you yesterday and will continue watching. Your content is so informative and practical.
Well said, Jen…..frightening times we live in and therefore, reminders and examples of kindness and grace are needed, now more than ever….”evil prevails when good people say nothing”…. Hoping I have the strength of character to speak up when needed, the older I get, the more I am thinking I do……
Just what I needed as I was looking for a body-doubling video for closet cleaning today and I love some Jen in my day! 💕
Oh hurray! I love that!

“Let’s pretend I’m faster” Ha! 😂 Jen, you’re a hoot!😂
The intro was a whole mood and scene! Nothing like gently turning the house on and waking it up with you in the morning.
Yeah I'll be honest not EVERY day starts out that peacefully but it IS the goal!
You are a kind and wonderful person. You’re very inspirational. Also I really appreciate all your travel advice and your suggestions for things to get that will help with Travel. Thanks.
I'm just normal but doing my best in an unjust world! Thank you!

Love the rolling technique! Are they wrinkle free when you get to your destination?
And I think your message was beautifully said… ❤
Yes if you roll carefully generally things come out with very few wrinkles!
I love packing videos, find them so therapeutic (but also make me wish I was packing for a trip).
I may have missed it but Jen, what about shoes? I didn't see you pack any. Do you just have one trusty pair that you live in?
I was wearing my main pair on the airplane and I have flip flops in my owners locker for the pool 🥰

So sorry to hear your friend had such a horrible thing happened to him...hope he's doing okay.
For merino wool shirts, do you like Unbound or Wood& more? Unbound seems a little more expensive but not sure what their big differences are if they are both merino wool? Also, do you have any recommendations for comfy wide leg pants that's good for travel?
One last thing, your Burberry trench coat purchase "inspired" me to get one! I thought about it before a few times but still wasn't sure if it's worth it, and it's very helpful to hear someone that doesn't chase designer items and say, "yes it's a lot more money but worth it!". So thank you for doing that video! Going to Europe soon so I'm hoping to get mine at the airport as well!
So I really like both brands and yes both have merino wool although check the blend - wool and has a lot of pieces with nylon which isn’t a bad thing and can help with wear but just check that part. My dresses from Wooland are some of my favorite pieces but form basic tshirts I would go with Unbound Merino. And for wide leg pants definitely check Spanx and JJill - they have some good quality options
Thank you!
Hi there Jen, My name is Sharlot, and I am a newbie to your channel.
Firstly, it so lovely to see and listen to a woman on TH-cam who is in my generation, yay! I felt very touched by what you said in this Vlog.
Here in Australia, we see, hear and read a lot about extremist bigoted views that are hate filled towards all strands of difference, mind you we have our fair share of that here too!
However, in my ‘bubble’, along with the own backyard hatred (Middle White Australians) we hear, read and see a lot of the same coming from a collective group of American people, who are known as, ‘Middle White Americans’ there are a lot of reports of hate speech, and the banning of books, school lessons around Gender and Pronouns, along with general shootings in schools!
Amongst all that darkness, there is always light, and you are one of those light bringers, so thank you for being you and doing what you can to speak out and walk your talk.
As a privileged person, like me, you are doing your best to be self aware and insightful, working on prejudices that we all have been taught, and have learned, such as Racism.
I know that I am late to the party, but I hope that your friend who had the hateful homophobia lashed out at them, are bouncing back after some time and maybe Counselling, as a space to express their sadness and grief, and or anger.
Also, as a member of the LGBTIQA+ community myself, for almost half my life, it is very heart warming to hear you say the things around equality that you expressed so well in this Vlog, moreover, speaking your truths about it all!
I would also like to thank you for the approach that you have in this regard, speaking out when you see or hear hate, voting for those political candidates, who are most likely to look after all, and not discriminate based on difference!
Despite my being a member of the LGBTIQA+ community, I acknowledge that I too am immensely privileged, in that I
am a Cis-gendered woman of Anglo-Celtic background, living in a colonilised country. I would like to think that I walk my talk too.
It is so refreshing to hear that your views on this are similar to my own, thank you for sharing your truths and using your platform for good, and the betterment of your community, with the intersection of, our community as a global one where acceptance, kindness and compassion are base values that connect us all!
I have also loved watching you share packing videos, I am a chronic over packer, of the ‘just in case’ variety, but am learning a lot, thank you!
Lastly, am really enjoying watching you have a lot of fun bringing out your inner child to play, also with your companions when you Cruise along - thanks for sharing.
Am very glad that you kept this one for yourself though, it must have felt very different to be fully immersed in your holiday without feeling like you needed to document it for public consumption - great boundaries there!😃
Take care, be well and happy!
Kindly,
Sharlot ☺️🌻🌱✨🧚
Sharlot thank you so much! What a kind comment and things I definitely aspire to so it means a lot that you took the time to tell me it matters.🥰
I started watching your channel because of Adam. Disney trips that you share are great but so is this real life stuff.
I almost wished I enjoyed running, as it would be amazing to do on those days that I'm spitting mad at the world 😂
I fully support you NOT working but if you want a drink buddy, I got you! ❤ I’ll be checking in at the Boardwalk tomorrow 💕
I would love that but sadly this trip happened LAST week and I'm now back home:(. Have a wonderful time!
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge I hope you had such a great time! 💕💕💕
Great message! I had to unfriend my cousin on facebook after letting him know how unhappy I was about his outspoken bigotry.
Right with you with the “getting back into running” 2020 me picked it up and was doing 15-20km three times a week with a friend. We both dropped off when real life resumed. I managed 6km on monday and today and only kind of wish for death- goals :D

The part I struggle with the most when clearing out things is getting them out of the house!! 🥴
Yes! That’s why going immediately is my only hope!!
I saw his post! The fact that people still do this is horrifying
Thank you so much for your allyship for LGBTQ community. I just discovered you and your videos and I love them. Thank you for sharing your experiences and advice.
Oh welcome, Rita and thank you for the kind words!!
Thanks for using your sphere of influence for good. Roll, fold, shove, whatever....just continue to spread kindness. Joy trumps hate.
I don't know what happened, but I have someone I love in LGBTQ, and this scares the hell out of me (it would even if I didn't......but it hits so close to home now). On another note--- I love day in the life videos. Thank you!
Yeah same and it scares me too. And I’m glad you like them - not as much travel this summer so there will be lots of them
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge So upsetting. Awesome about the day and the life videos though!!!!
I'm so sorry your friend had to endure that kind of abuse. And you're right, as LGBTQ+ allies, we need to do better in calling out bigotry and supporting LGBT organisations when we can 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Thank you, Jen 🏳🌈

So glad you mentioned the homophobic incident, when I saw his post on the day it happened I was so upset for him it was awful and I totally agree with what you said. 😘
I would love a walk in wardrobe ( closet) but in our smallish home here in the UK I only have a small freestanding wardrobe and a 3 drawer chest of drawers and it’s all full to the limit! Most of the clothes hangers in my wardrobe have at least 2 items on! I do find it hard to let go of things but I know I would totally benefit from it and feel much more organised! Do a bit now & then when I’m ‘in the mood’ 😂 xx
YES we've had homes where I had essentially zero closet space and ironically I was HORRIBLE about not getting rid of stuff back then! I get this!
So on point. I'm picky about where I donate and only donate things that I feel I would still use but for whatever reason don't any more. As far as the hate, preach it sister. My son's sister (not my daughter and no longer my step-daughter but very much my child still) was married for years to a man, had a child and later in life after her divorce fell in love with a woman. We live in Georgia like you do, so they could not legally marry here but did go up north and got married there. Her father refuses to even speak to her, which she has learned to live with since she and her wife have a very good life without him. My son was married to a woman of color for a few years and their father didn't speak to him then either. After my son divorced and now has a beautiful 3 year old little girl by his current partner, his dad wants to get back in with him. Both he (my son) and his sister are just fine not having someone like that in their lives.
