“Stop looking back on how it was, stop looking forward to how it could be and live now!” Whew I needed to hear this. I turn 29 in less than 2 weeks and I found myself feeling a little down because I’m single.. then I just started to give thanks for where I am now. I’m an MD, enjoying my own apartment, drawing closer to God each day.. and so much more. I’m walking into Year 29 with gratitude. Learning how to appreciate and enjoy the season that I’m in each day.
@@DrHensleyLewis omg I’m Haitian too!! And it’s so annoying the pressures they have on us cause they are so strict on dating when you’re younger, at least mine was.
I’m 32 , a year married in July, diagnosed with Breast Cancer for the 2nd time with no kids. I too am either thinking about the past and what I should’ve done or the future and what could not happen. Thank you for sharing that WORD with us it was much needed.
@amberjones8587, I was 28 when I was first diagnosed. Lost half of my breasts.. listen we speak healing over you. Right here on TH-cam. In the name of Jesus. Speaking life…❤❤❤❤❤
I was telling myself to enjoy my season of being alone because once I get married, things will be different. I am currently in a long distance relationship and this time alone has been a blessing. Not only did it grow my relationship, but God has been working soo much in my life lately and being alone has brought my blessing out. Ladies, enjoy your time alone with God because he will reveal so much to you once he have your full attention!
I can only imagine what type of PR/deals/opportunities you are going to have in the future if they’re already noticing you more after a week of consistency. I love this for you girl!! Keep going, you got this!! God gotchu!
Jess, my girl! I needed those words in the beginning because after the year I just had?! I am in a SEASONNNN 😮💨 I need to appreciate where I’ve been and how God brought me through, and be grateful for where I’m currently at, even though it isn’t where I want to be. Thank you for the reminder 💛
I think a lot of people go through this phase. What helped me is continuously saying “I am where I need to be, learning what I need to learn, to be prepared me for the blessings beyond where I am meant to be.” But don’t forget to live in the NOW! Enjoy all parts of life!
Yesss. The story of Lot’s wifeee. I was wondering why salt one day because we are also called to be the salt of the earth. I realized that too much salt causes bitterness!!! That’s a worddd. We can use our past experiences as wisdom BUT too much thought on it can cause bitternesssss ugh. Since she looked back she wasn’t going to be able to enjoy what God was doing in the now😭😭 Love how the Bible unfolds itself.
I’m a mama of two littles now and I definitely reminisce on my child free days 😂 but thank you for this Jess. I’m going through a rough season right now and sometimes I look back at what was and all the things I’ve been through and it gets me down. But the other day God reminded me that he is doing a new thing. We’re gonna miss the new thing if we keep looking circling the block on the past!!!
Girl I just turned 29 last Friday and the pressure is weighing on me. I’m NOWHERE where I thought though I would be but it’s gonna be alright. We’re gonna make it!😂
The Bible talk was such a blessing. I got a little teary eyed, because I have a tendency to keep looking back at my past, instead of living in the moment. This word, was definitely a GOD send. Thanks Jess for sharing. Also, I wanted to say, your bob is so cute, and you have the most beautiful dimples, and smile.
Words of wisdom always flow from you. I just keep thinking because you can’t get this time or this moment again. Enjoy it now. Although at 37 I even feel like I’m nowhere where I want to be… maybe it’s just a human thing to want to be and do more. May God continue to bless you Jess, great vlog as per! 💕
I am at a point where i feel I'm just worthless and have nothing to account for in my life. My era of 20's are about to end and i have no job,live with my mom which can be a pain(if you know you know),financial situation in a dumpster,depressed,not being genuinely happy for more than a day,everything seems to work against me.I am crying quietly as I write this cos it really hurts and sucks and I cant seem to do anything about it. But I needed to hear this so bad ,although I have nothing to boast or be grateful for,I may go back to depress mode after this video but I'm so glad you didnt edit that motivational part out of the video.
I have been watching you once in a blue moon starting years and yearz years ago. Then randomly your fertility pod cast came into my suggestions and I watched a bit of that then something kept telling me to look for your personal channel. I'm scrolled a bit and this video was glowing. I immediately clicked and I tell you , this is exactly what I am going through I could tell my whole story but I won't. My relationship with Christ has been weak on my part but he never fails me. He brought me to your video to hear your intro. I've been married for 10 years now with two older children 13 and 9 and I'm 32 . This was truly a blessing. Thank you.
Jess, I love Don't Become a Pillar of Salt... We must not look back!!! The other day, I found myself looking back at past mistakes and regretting some decisions. I had to remind myself of who I am in God and that today is a new day and I have new mercy...those days are old and you are a new creature in Christ..walk in who you are today with your head held up. God loves me even if no one else does...God has and is doing great things in me. This word is encouraging. Let us have more like this...Good word Jess...good word!!!!
You’re right about the being an introvert but wanting to maintain friendships thing. I’m sooo reserved and want to be home, but I also want to be out…but when a friend invites me to something, I just want to be home yet thankful for the inclusion lol. But I make the effort too and for the most part usually enjoy my time out. Being in your 30s (fellow ‘92 baby ❤) single, and living on your own (mind you paycheck to paycheck) I’m too mentally exhausted and extremely limited on funds to do all the things my friends are doing. I’m trying to be thankful for what I do have cause it could be worse….but it could also be better 😩
“Living in the answered prayer” I definitely needed to be reminded of that. I literally have a picture on my wall that says I remember when I prayed for the things I now have. Life sometimes blinds us from this!
Girl, I'll have you know i watch so much, my kids walk around singing the theme song...my 2yo stops dead in his tracks and comes to see when he hears it. Love your content!
I saw on your insta story yesterday and you were like “editing tomorrow’s vlog”, but I completely forgot that I saw that so when I opened TH-cam and saw this, my week was made☺️ 🙌🏾. Love you Jess 🫶🏾
I almost skipped the whole first part, glad I didn’t. I needed to hear this. I’m 32, married with a baby. I always wanted what I have now but I have had a lot of moments lately where I miss no kids and worrying about myself. Learning to be where my feet are ❤
I was talking to my Mom about this similar topic similar to the song that says "Don't try to live your life in one day don't go speed your time away." I have this fear that I may regret a lot of things because I am always wishing and wondering "Why am I not there or here" yet. My Mom shared that when she first got married she was very emotional because of the change and new environment and seeing her life will be changed forever. Even though she's truly happen she recognized that life happens fast and we should enjoy the moment. I LOVE this topic. I am single and I'm huffing and puffing about "The One" knowing that I enjoy my parents company. In general, it's better I enjoy myself as you said in "the now" than to count the calendar to see when God will bring something or someone in my life or wish things were different. It takes time to accept because we're human but once we began to realize a habit there's character development in the process.
Thank you for the upload, needed this!! (Lord knows). Now let me sit back for the next 53:30m, escape from my reality, and enjoy this weekly vlog. Thank you, Jess! ❤️
Great word in the beginning of the video! You are 100% right! I’ve done everything you mentioned and even now, married for 15 years with 3 kids - I often think back on the time before I had all this that I prayed for and wish I had “lived in the moment”. I would’ve definitely enjoyed it more instead of spending so much time worrying about what was next. Anyway, thanks for the reminder!❤
I'm newly 30 and learning there's beauty in every season! Getting rid of social media has helped me so much. Ive learned to live in the present too, we are living in an answered prayer every day!
yup, Get what you need! we gotta be grown ups sometimes. I appreciate you z idk if I say that enough bc I'm older than you, 36, but I find myself sulking sometimes too, have to remember to appreciate the day bc God could've taken me out already, so ty did the reminder
Jess you slayed me with the “Epsom 🧂 “ Nope no ma’am I do not 😂😂😂! Yessss this was a word!! Thank you so much for sharing! You are talented in soooo many areas and a great reminder to not look back, live in the moment and to explore your gifts !!! Now back to the vlog, had to stop and write my comment while I was in the moment 😁!
5-7mins in..Chile!!!!!!! You are speaking to me ... Thank you Lord for using Jess!!!!!!! Bless her Lord.. smh in a good way 16mins. Yes yes any ship needs mutual work.. friendship.. relationship..
Girl!!! That is a word! So so good! Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m still watching but I had to comment on this. This is so encouraging to me. Needed this word🙏🏾
I really love this season that you are in. I pray God continues to bless you more than you can ask, think, or imagine. I appreciate what you said in the beginning of the video. Personal I needed to hear it. Keep it up ma!!! Love your sister in Christ❤❤❤
I feel you girl. I’m definitely in that phase of just trying to appreciate the moment I’m in now. Life is short, I wanna take time to live in my current moment. I prayed for a new job but now that I have a new job I don’t like it there lol. So I have to realize this is something I prayed for and I need to be more appreciative of the new job…atleast until I find a new job lol again.
Your videos are speaking to me!! That beginning is what i needed to hear! I often catch myself thinking of the past and it’s not because of pictures or memories it’s like “am i ready for this?” When in fact i am and God did this for a reason! Thank you for sharing and being open! I love that about you!! Keep being amazing and blessed! Also, makeup tutorial please! 😍
I got to the point about your friends lol that’s meeee!!! And unfortunately i lost a friend and now I’m realizing i need to meet them!! It’s hard but i do enjoy and love being with them when i do! We young and poppin!! lol
Baaaaaaby I had to comment on the first 8min cause this is a WORDDDDD! God always leads us to a message when needed Thanks Jess- best believe u are doing the work , even through your unboxed type of content, keep it up ❤
It’s true enjoy where you at in life, cause when it’s gone it’s gone and then you have new blessings…this is Jess and Jonathan time cause when the blessing of children comes then your life changes to another beautiful phase
Jessssss you dropped a worddddd in the beginning and please don’t ever think youre the only one or it sounds bad to say because I’m married with two kids and I’ve had moments of looking back and wishing I was single again or back working (now a sahm) but that word was powerful and so true. Now I just remember to always be grateful for all I have and also to appreciate and make the best of the season I’m in because no season lasts forever.
Wow, a reminder that’s God’s timing is perfect! I’ve been in this back and forth space with feeling meh about being single among other things. Your message at the beginning, Jess, 16:03 was a great and firm reminder of appreciating the season I’m in now & to stop stressing myself about the past. There’s so much for me to be grateful for and I need to be appreciate the space I’m in now. Thank you Lord for sharing this message through Jess! Thank you Jess for being such a blessing and great presence on this platform! 🤎
Thanks for opening up your vlog with that message. That was a reminder for me to enjoy my single life and serve this season I’m in. I’ve been slowly taking the time to get to know myself more and exploring more of my femininity and she’s staring to grow on me. I’ve been taking the time out to get dressed more and look more appealing whatever I’m going out or staying in & I know I’m doing something right cause people always think I’ve been doing it for a man but I’m like nooo I’m a so single there’s not a man in sight or in mind 😂😂😂 so thank you again for sharing that.
been living on my own since 2019 and the thought of having to lose that peace and independence gives me serious anxiety. if i do get married (which I'm not pressed about at ALL) imma need my own room, closet & bathroom lmao
I learned from an older couple that separate bedrooms can be a good thing. It saved their marriage. It's especially good if your mate snores, but most importantly, it gives you your own space and you don't feel like you have lost that. We have done it right from the start and it is everything to us. We both sleep very differently so having our own bedrooms and bathrooms was the best solution ever.
@@agamer219 I have seen older couples suggest this as well. someone told me about a married couple that had separate houses too lmaoo, that might be extreme but I get it!
I needed this! I feel so alone in now I feel and where I’m at in life. Only appreciating things in retrospect. Appreciate now because things change everyday. I am in my second year of marriage and beeggggin God for a baby. He already sat me down on that because it’s his time not mine but I have to appreciate just having my husband and having him all to myself. I’m rambling but yeah😂❤
Trust me I feel EXACTLY what you’re saying. I had to get sat down too 😂 this time is sweet, we can’t miss it, after the kids we won’t get it back for minimum 18 years lol
Hey Girl loved the video, I just have to things to say that might be helpful with your hair keeping your silk press longer and that is the Wow Dream coat it's clutch I discovered my hair grows better while it straight so to heat train my hair that the way and a good hair serum and to try to achieve that cold foam froth up your milk while it's cold at top your Chai tea latte with it, I used to manage a Starbucks❤ see you next video😊
Jess if you had a message specifically for me you could’ve just called lol kidding… AMAZING MESSAGE!!!!!! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰 for allowing God to use you to send his message to others. Much needed
This is so relatable sis as a newlywed I am still taking it one day at a time , I can relate and understand this completely I do not want to turn into Epson salt lol. Just like there is a blessing in the next thing there is a blessing awaiting us everyday when we choose to focus on our now. Trust me, we're not missing out on anythinggggg I also have to be mindful of what I'm watching . That within itself can make matters worssssst,
God has been saying the same… Live in the moment and enjoy… We get so caught up in life whether it be situations or circumstances that we forget that life is but a vapor. I don’t want to look back on my life 20 years from now and realize that I didn’t optimize every chance and opportunity that was presented to me!
Good word!!! I have trouble with that too. I just turned 39 in January. I got married in September 2023 and now I am 23 weeks pregnant. Found myself always looking back in every stage of my life and never being content in the present. It’s just like always trying to lose weight and not appreciating the body you have now but when you look at photos from the past you see that you actually looked good! Lol..
A lot of people talk about these concepts that you mentioned at the beginning of your video. That's very true. I've once heard that you can't go forward looking back, so that's sage advice that Pappa shared with you.😊🙏🏽
I appreciate that as a person in their single phase. I do enjoy life, but sometimes I do yearn for that next season of life. I told myself that I will focus on me this year and the things that I want and God will send the man, I'm 31 by the way. Thank you for the confirmation. Oh and I agree with wax stick for the flyaways. I like the keracare one.
😅 lol I do the same thing every time they take my blood. I HATE needles 😭🙏🏾 I would definitely say get the dressers unless you can get a bedroom package deal that’s cost-efficient looks nice and fits both of your needs
🔥 first of all you definitely nailed the bday party look🎉 2ndly I feel you about not being sure of elevating your makeup anymore especially when what you do works for you and gives you the look you're pleased with bc I definitely be tryna follow along to get your quick make up technique down bc it not a whole lot and it WERKZ!! So what we doing 1. Pat primer in face 2. Do brows 3. Put concealer under eyes upper lip and under browns pat with beauty blender until blended 4. Put foundation powder ??on top of concealer areas 5. Dot of hot pink blush..then blend upward 6. Line lips w/Brown lip liner then apply juicy lip gloss Is that right jess? 😅
I don't really care how people do theur makeup. I am not them and if it suits me it means it is unique to me. To each their own really. Yiu look beautiful either way sis.
Jess! Not me being able to help YOU out! I happen to know exactly how to make the vanilla sweet cream cold foam (the one you can buy just don't taste the same.) Here's the deets: .5 oz vanilla syrup 1 oz 2% milk 1.5 oz Heavy whipping cream Blend it up. That's simplified for the imperial system. Lemme know if you want the exact measurements in metric.
Hey Jess! I really loved your opening message. I am living in my answered prayers too. Thank you for the reminder. May God continue to bless you for your obedience in sharing his word. In Jesus name, Amen.🙏🏽🙌🏽 🤎
Hey Jess! Next time you get blood drawn, ask for a butterfly needle. You barely feel them and they are less intimidating. It’s the smaller needle they have.
Hi Jess...Thanks for allowing myself and others into ur space...always enjoy ur vlogs....Enjoy life to fullest and live movement by moment..Stay blessed

“Do you want to turn into Epson salt? Hello!” Took me out😭😭
Me too 😂
I’m 32 , a year married in July, diagnosed with Breast Cancer for the 2nd time with no kids. I too am either thinking about the past and what I should’ve done or the future and what could not happen. Thank you for sharing that WORD with us it was much needed.
take care of yourself sister. always remember that everything is as it should be. testimony x2 ❤ love you
Prayers for God’s healing for you.
I’m a breast cancer survivor of 24 years.
Sis, love you! I’m assuming your name is Amber I will be praying for you by name! 🩷
Sending prayers and light to you 🙏🏿 God is working everything together for your good
@amberjones8587, I was 28 when I was first diagnosed. Lost half of my breasts.. listen we speak healing over you. Right here on TH-cam. In the name of Jesus. Speaking life…❤❤❤❤❤

Same experience❤
I can only imagine what type of PR/deals/opportunities you are going to have in the future if they’re already noticing you more after a week of consistency. I love this for you girl!! Keep going, you got this!! God gotchu!
Jess, my girl! I needed those words in the beginning because after the year I just had?! I am in a SEASONNNN 😮💨 I need to appreciate where I’ve been and how God brought me through, and be grateful for where I’m currently at, even though it isn’t where I want to be. Thank you for the reminder 💛

I am at a point where i feel I'm just worthless and have nothing to account for in my life.
My era of 20's are about to end and i have no job,live with my mom which can be a pain(if you know you know),financial situation in a dumpster,depressed,not being genuinely happy for more than a day,everything seems to work against me.I am crying quietly as I write this cos it really hurts and sucks and I cant seem to do anything about it.

Really sorry you had to go through this. Please hold on a bit longer
Your patience is amazing because over 3 hours for lashes and they’re not even full volume 😱😱 that’s crazyyy
LOOK 😂😂😂 I was like I know you lying 😭
If stretching or a walk feels better in the morning, do that! You don’t HAVE to go to the gym first thing. Have that slow morning if you can. 🌞 ❤
And yes I’m about to construct a nail kit cause I’m done with the salon!! Too expensive for nothing.

Jess, we love the extra side notes you type in. But these old eyes need a thicker font, please! 🙏🏾
Oops I’m so sorry lol
I really love this season that you are in. I pray God continues to bless you more than you can ask, think, or imagine. I appreciate what you said in the beginning of the video. Personal I needed to hear it. Keep it up ma!!! Love your sister in Christ❤❤❤
I thank God for speaking through you with that message at the beginning. Great vlog!!
I feel you girl. I’m definitely in that phase of just trying to appreciate the moment I’m in now. Life is short, I wanna take time to live in my current moment. I prayed for a new job but now that I have a new job I don’t like it there lol. So I have to realize this is something I prayed for and I need to be more appreciative of the new job…atleast until I find a new job lol again.
Whew living in the present is a word I didn't know I needed it!! Thanks for sharing that with us Jess 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Your videos are speaking to me!! That beginning is what i needed to hear! I often catch myself thinking of the past and it’s not because of pictures or memories it’s like “am i ready for this?” When in fact i am and God did this for a reason! Thank you for sharing and being open! I love that about you!! Keep being amazing and blessed!
Also, makeup tutorial please! 😍
I got to the point about your friends lol that’s meeee!!! And unfortunately i lost a friend and now I’m realizing i need to meet them!! It’s hard but i do enjoy and love being with them when i do! We young and poppin!! lol
Baaaaaaby I had to comment on the first 8min cause this is a WORDDDDD! God always leads us to a message when needed
Thanks Jess- best believe u are doing the work , even through your unboxed type of content, keep it up ❤
The best truly is yet to come! 🙏🏿♡🙌🏿✨
Yes 🙌🏾🩷
“Me and the Lord…he’s got me tested already” lol I heard that!
It’s true enjoy where you at in life, cause when it’s gone it’s gone and then you have new blessings…this is Jess and Jonathan time cause when the blessing of children comes then your life changes to another beautiful phase
The message in the beginning was so good. I needed that. I had to repent and Thank God for NOW.
Jessssss you dropped a worddddd in the beginning and please don’t ever think youre the only one or it sounds bad to say because I’m married with two kids and I’ve had moments of looking back and wishing I was single again or back working (now a sahm) but that word was powerful and so true. Now I just remember to always be grateful for all I have and also to appreciate and make the best of the season I’m in because no season lasts forever.
I use Nairobi Wrap-it Shine Foaming Lotion for my frizz without the heat. You should try it
Wow, a reminder that’s God’s timing is perfect! I’ve been in this back and forth space with feeling meh about being single among other things. Your message at the beginning, Jess, 16:03 was a great and firm reminder of appreciating the season I’m in now & to stop stressing myself about the past. There’s so much for me to be grateful for and I need to be appreciate the space I’m in now. Thank you Lord for sharing this message through Jess! Thank you Jess for being such a blessing and great presence on this platform! 🤎
That opening wordddd👏🏽...you spoke to my heart. Also 53 mins?? Yes sis!!!💕
I’m here for y’all!! lol 🩷🩷
You're doing so great Jess! Thank you for the Word, needed to hear that in this new season I'm in ❤🤗
Thank you so much! 🩷🩷
Thanks for opening up your vlog with that message. That was a reminder for me to enjoy my single life and serve this season I’m in. I’ve been slowly taking the time to get to know myself more and exploring more of my femininity and she’s staring to grow on me. I’ve been taking the time out to get dressed more and look more appealing whatever I’m going out or staying in & I know I’m doing something right cause people always think I’ve been doing it for a man but I’m like nooo I’m a so single there’s not a man in sight or in mind 😂😂😂 so thank you again for sharing that.
😂😂😂😂 I love this for you sis!! 🩷
The title!!!! A vlog I needddddeeeeddddddd to watch today. Thank you Jess
been living on my own since 2019 and the thought of having to lose that peace and independence gives me serious anxiety. if i do get married (which I'm not pressed about at ALL) imma need my own room, closet & bathroom lmao
😂😂😂😂 living on my own was such a sweet time lol and yes after being married I def suggest separate bathrooms at LEAST 😂
I learned from an older couple that separate bedrooms can be a good thing. It saved their marriage. It's especially good if your mate snores, but most importantly, it gives you your own space and you don't feel like you have lost that. We have done it right from the start and it is everything to us. We both sleep very differently so having our own bedrooms and bathrooms was the best solution ever.
@@agamer219 I have seen older couples suggest this as well. someone told me about a married couple that had separate houses too lmaoo, that might be extreme but I get it!
I don’t know if you just started doing this, but I like the indicators at the beginning of the day. Nice touch☺️
I did! Lol thank you! 🥰
I needed this! I feel so alone in now I feel and where I’m at in life. Only appreciating things in retrospect. Appreciate now because things change everyday. I am in my second year of marriage and beeggggin God for a baby. He already sat me down on that because it’s his time not mine but I have to appreciate just having my husband and having him all to myself. I’m rambling but yeah😂❤
Trust me I feel EXACTLY what you’re saying. I had to get sat down too 😂 this time is sweet, we can’t miss it, after the kids we won’t get it back for minimum 18 years lol
Thank you Jess really enjoyed watching God bless you sweetheart and I love those glass cups I’m buying them 🥰🥰😍😍
Hey Girl loved the video, I just have to things to say that might be helpful with your hair keeping your silk press longer and that is the Wow Dream coat it's clutch I discovered my hair grows better while it straight so to heat train my hair that the way and a good hair serum and to try to achieve that cold foam froth up your milk while it's cold at top your Chai tea latte with it, I used to manage a Starbucks❤ see you next video😊
Jess if you had a message specifically for me you could’ve just called lol kidding… AMAZING MESSAGE!!!!!! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰 for allowing God to use you to send his message to others. Much needed
😂😂😂 you’re welcome sis! We all needed some of that lol
This is so relatable sis as a newlywed I am still taking it one day at a time , I can relate and understand this completely I do not want to turn into Epson salt lol. Just like there is a blessing in the next thing there is a blessing awaiting us everyday when we choose to focus on our now. Trust me, we're not missing out on anythinggggg I also have to be mindful of what I'm watching . That within itself can make matters worssssst,
Yesssss 100 percent! Especially with social media, it’s been throwing me off a bit lately I had to check myself
@OnlyOneJess awareness is a big step ! Just keep staying here sis it'll get easier 😌
God has been saying the same… Live in the moment and enjoy… We get so caught up in life whether it be situations or circumstances that we forget that life is but a vapor. I don’t want to look back on my life 20 years from now and realize that I didn’t optimize every chance and opportunity that was presented to me!
Good word!!! I have trouble with that too. I just turned 39 in January. I got married in September 2023 and now I am 23 weeks pregnant. Found myself always looking back in every stage of my life and never being content in the present. It’s just like always trying to lose weight and not appreciating the body you have now but when you look at photos from the past you see that you actually looked good! Lol..
Omg yesss I be looking at my 20’s stomach and was taking weight gaining pills so I could get a booty and it only went to my stomach 😭😂😂
A lot of people talk about these concepts that you mentioned at the beginning of your video. That's very true. I've once heard that you can't go forward looking back, so that's sage advice that Pappa shared with you.😊🙏🏽
I appreciate that as a person in their single phase. I do enjoy life, but sometimes I do yearn for that next season of life. I told myself that I will focus on me this year and the things that I want and God will send the man, I'm 31 by the way. Thank you for the confirmation.
Oh and I agree with wax stick for the flyaways. I like the keracare one.
😅 lol I do the same thing every time they take my blood. I HATE needles 😭🙏🏾 I would definitely say get the dressers unless you can get a bedroom package deal that’s cost-efficient looks nice and fits both of your needs
Definitely don’t look back, enjoy your time without the little ones. It’s a different, different, world!
🔥 first of all you definitely nailed the bday party look🎉 2ndly I feel you about not being sure of elevating your makeup anymore especially when what you do works for you and gives you the look you're pleased with bc I definitely be tryna follow along to get your quick make up technique down bc it not a whole lot and it WERKZ!!
So what we doing
1. Pat primer in face
2. Do brows
3. Put concealer under eyes upper lip and under browns pat with beauty blender until blended
4. Put foundation powder ??on top of concealer areas
5. Dot of hot pink blush..then blend upward
6. Line lips w/Brown lip liner then apply juicy lip gloss
Is that right jess? 😅
I think the cold foam is just heavy cream and some sweetener that they blend until it’s thick
You can now get cold foam at the grocery store. It’s in a bottle like whipped cream in the dairy section.
Ahh thank you sissss, I will be getting that on Monday!
I don't really care how people do theur makeup. I am not them and if it suits me it means it is unique to me. To each their own really. Yiu look beautiful either way sis.
Love your content Jess. Could you put a link for those under-cupboard lights?
BOOST! lol
I love the elevation of u Jess u came so far sis I’m proud of u
Jess! Not me being able to help YOU out! I happen to know exactly how to make the vanilla sweet cream cold foam (the one you can buy just don't taste the same.)
Here's the deets:
.5 oz vanilla syrup
1 oz 2% milk
1.5 oz Heavy whipping cream
Blend it up.
That's simplified for the imperial system. Lemme know if you want the exact measurements in metric.
Hey Jess! I really loved your opening message. I am living in my answered prayers too. Thank you for the reminder. May God continue to bless you for your obedience in sharing his word. In Jesus name, Amen.🙏🏽🙌🏽 🤎
Thank you so much!! 🥹🩷🩷
@@OnlyOneJess You're very welcome, Sis. 🥰
Hey Jess! Next time you get blood drawn, ask for a butterfly needle. You barely feel them and they are less intimidating. It’s the smaller needle they have.
The opening of the Vlog was so needed! 💕
🩷🩷🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Kinda late but you can make your cold foam with heavy whipping cream and a little milk and use a frother thing lol. Learned from TikTok
Yes I saw that too! Lol gonna try it today
Definitely need that mini word….😮I’m living in my answered prayers 🙌🏾
Enjoyed the video! I can tell you been watching Mckenna..she does the tapping on everything also!
