Who else is watching Felicity in the background while Jessica is trying on makeup? That baby is so cute!!!
OMG. Yes🤣🤣. And she is Tyler.💕
Lol😂 I stop listening to Jess.
I was just waiting for her to start crawling! 😆👶
So adorable
Lol I fully admit I had stopped paying attention and watched Felicity!
Jessica is over there spilling her heart out about this blush and highlighter and we are all just like BUT LOOK AT THAT CUTIE IN THE BACKGROUND!! We love you Jess!!
😂😂😂
Girl, groove book! It’s an app, you upload pics every month, you get a little printed book. It’s cheap and easy and the books are so cute!
I use my journal as a Bible journal as well starting during the pandemic. It was interesting to see my thoughts/journaling and the Bible verses that kept me going Thru that particular time ☀️☀️
I wish you knew how much you do for us just by simply being you and posting videos. I am having a pretty rough day, anxiety super high, I have court tomorrow. Your videos always help lower my anxiety and get me out of my head if only for a few minutes 💕💕
This means so much to me!! Thank you for sharing this and praying court goes well tomorrow!!
@@itsjessicabraun What a small world! I am watching this to make my day better after court went horribly for me today. Sometimes being an attorney is literally the worst. Yay for vlogs!
Just so you know, that long winded thing about the journaling… youre speaking to my soul.
Felicity stole the show! So much cuteness, put a smile on my face! ❤
regarding your photo album idea - I have to recommend Chatbooks!! it's super affordable, the app is easy to use, you can print monthly books, go back in time, do current months, etc. it's SO EASY and I feel like I finally use all of the photos that just end up sitting on my phone! not to mention, once you get a collection going - it looks great on a shelf. honestly you would LOVE IT!!
The whole journal part totally spoke to me! trying to write a journal for years. I am 48 and I finally figured out. Just write it ….put it all in. It’s funny, how many roadblocks that we put up for our own selves just don’t need to be there❤️ I also like your thoughts about why you’re using a writing journal versus computer and I have often wondered which form and I think the writing is so wonderful because many of us to spend so much time online. It’s a good way to break that up for us to get away from screens.
Hey Jess! I love the idea of doing physical photo albums, so I do one every year too! I always use Pinhole Press because I LOVE the quality, it has thick paper, your photos are nicely printed, and you can choose what color fabric binding you want. I feel like an ad, but I really do love them lol
Jessica- I hope you enjoyed this little jaunt into some new makeup!
Me having been watching adorable little Felicity the entire time: 😳👀 *rewinds*
G09
Thank you so much for the snow footage - native Floridian & don't get to see it very often.
Precious Felicity in background was a true bonus! I love your birthday purse so much, I ordered one for my birthday as well - it's on sale & also running a special with an additional 25% off! Thank you Jessica!
I needed to hear what you were saying about journaling and getting out of the house when needed! Please remember that your thoughts and feelings are valid. 💙
Ah, journaling. My thoughts-no rules, no guidelines, no restrictions, any thought goes. Don’t overthink it. Whatever you’re thinking or feeling at that moment, jot it down. Circling back to it later in life may give you an “ah ha” moment, a giggle or an insight as to what brought you to where you are in the present/future. Enjoy!
I love the idea of doing a photo book for each year. I have a 9 year old who loves looking at pictures and I think he would love having them. I love this vlog, it's like just sitting and having a conversation with you, because in real life conversations are random and move from topic to topic. ❤️
We do the same thing for family photos, one book per year of all the favorites printed out. I call it the family yearbook!
What a precious little baby! Enjoyed seeing her!
I do the yearly photo book thing! I use Chatbooks because it's a little less overwhelming than Shutterfly. I do one page spread for each month & will add pages for any other very special occasions. It really is so special to look back on those memories!
Yes I came to comment this too!! Love our Chatbooks yearbook!
I was going to recommend this too. Especially because it can be automated.
literally just commented this - LOVE chatbooks!!
How do you fit a whole months worth of pictures in only one page?
For the photo idea - my family started making a calendar via Shutterfly where we go through each month of photos on our phones and make a collage for each month. We still use a traditional wall calendar, plus it makes a wonderful gift for other members of our family.
The kiddos are getting so big! I couldn’t find the link for the exercise video you were doing at the beginning.
I love making basically a modern commonplace book--a catchall for journaling, writing the book passages and lyrics I love, writing ideas, and anything that catches my fancy. Its become a low stakes way to capture my life and is a good reference for when I need to look for certain quotes or ideas. Its like bullet journaling without the stress of making perfect layouts--just a book of everything that matters to me at the point of writing it down (and helps me plan out my book annotations)
I LOVE this journaling conversation! You put into words the things I couldn’t figure out as to why I struggle keeping up with journaling. Thank you!!
I used to have a long silky leopard dress that color blue in high school took a trip down memory lane
I adore the season of life you are in and I’m excited to watch your take on new things mixed with your mom life. Thanks for posting. Love your style.
My god that Magic Keyboard/ iPad combo was my best purchase of 2022!!! It was pricey but life changing. I use it everyday! Im a FT student now and the notes I take and how I work in general has improved 1000%. If anyone is considering it, don’t walk…RUN. You will have no regrets. (I also have my digital planner on it, really all-in-one device for organizing your life.) 🎉
What digital planner do you use?
@@itsjessicabraun It’s called Planning To Prosper. There is every combination of planner layout you can imagine. All hyperlinked also. Owner is Stephanie Anne and she has a great channel here on YT and a fabulous Etsy shop. (Both under PlanningToProsper) ua-cam.com/video/CD3ynXAiNas/v-deo.html
Great idea. I've been stressed about this photo thing too!
Yes!! Loving the elf foundation, might be a holy grail for me! And I NEVER like drugstore foundation, just wowed
The pink sweater Jess! We need the link for the pink sweater 💗
Yes we do!! It’s so cute 💗
@@erinhoyt1671 I've been looking! Did she ever say??
Chatbooks is the best for photo albums that you want to be clean and simple. The app is a game changer. You can upload straight from your phone! Been doing a family yearbook for 4+ years and for special vacations/moments. 😊
Regarding photos : you could also do that system quarterly or according to seasons 🤗
I love how Felicity is listening to you as you talk at certain points ❤🥹 loved this video!
The vlog had a good flow! ❤️ No worries Honey, we love all your content no matter what!! 😘
Loved this video ! Also would you be able to maybe do a video on how you organize your makeup ! I love how organized all your makeup drawers are 😍
I have a “journal” I don’t really write in it but I guess a more scrapbook with it. And I have a lot of pictures from cd booklets, the dvd cases of movies, magazines, etc and it gives me a way to actually enjoy having these pictures and being able to be creative and showcase them somewhere. Because most of the time I just stash away my cds and stuff and so I can’t really look through everything and enjoy the photos. I also do the same with cute makeup packaging
Hey Jess!
Chatbooks has a really fun monthly subscription - for $15 a month, I upload 30 pics for the month and chatbooks puts it together and sends it. I'm SO happy I've been thought this, my kids (5&3 years old) LOVE going through all the pictures! Totally recommend
Your Journaling rant spoke volumes to me. Up until this year I always had rules and separate journals. One for day to day, one for reflection and goals, one for prompted journal entries and this year I finally started just using a very nice journal to put in all of it because like you said, nobody else is reading it. It has turned out to be quite freeing. Just thought I'd let you know I resonate with how you feel about journals
I would love to see a video featuring how you and Tyler set up and organize your new bookshelves in the basement. I follow so many of your book recommendations, and it would be fun to see a bookshelf tour!
I journal daily and it's such a great release of any of the things on your mind that you don't know what to do with. Thanks for sharing about your method, and I hope the decorative cover brings you joy!!
when you showed that make up bag I AUDIBLY gasped out loud. ordered immediately
If there was ever a Vlog that I wished was a conversation with you, it was this one! I just bought those exact notebooks, I just had the same Epiphany about getting projects done that will only take about five minutes, but you keep putting them off, and I also just started doing the same thing with my photos. I do print them and put them in a book myself as sometimes I think for a digital book takes longer than just printing the pictures and putting them on the page. I used to scrapbook, but now I’ve just made it much simpler.
We do a Shutterfly book for every calendar year. Shutterfly usually does a sale in January for unlimited pages and it’s super simple!
I loved your story about your hand being sore after summer break & I neeeeeeed that makeup bag asap!
I bought the purse😂 Its so cute!! I love your channel it’s one of the best!
Ooh, I like the purse and strap - I wonder if it comes in a bigger size?!
I like to hand write my journal too, but I don’t always carry my journal around with me. I always have my iPad with me, so I started to hand write on my iPad. Get the pencil to use with your iPad. It magnetizes to the iPad. I like to use the Good Notes app and I also use One Note. I use those for work (I’m a teacher) and I use it at home. I have the Magic Keyboard as well, and I’ve been loving all of it!! Should have switched a long time ago!
Spring is a good time to set goals...never in the winter 🙂
I suffer from cystic acne and I have STRUGGLED with my skin care and confidence and I can tell you that watching your videos and trying some of your makeup and skin care recs have changed my life. It's given me the confidence to branch out and try new things! I love your videos and I love seeing that sweet little babe in the background! ❤️
Just a fellow cystic sufferer here to recommend Caroline Hirons, if you aren't already watching her. She really helped me to figure out my skin
Two things: I have done a family yearbook for the last few years and love it! I also do separate ones for vacations. (I find Snapfish to be the most user-friendly.) We love pulling them out to look at, and I’ll generally have a few out on the coffee table when we have family over because they enjoy looking at them too. Also, I recently got a digital picture frame. I like to change out our framed photos seasonally (beach pictures during the summer, etc.) but it gets old! 😂 So I’ve created digital albums and I just seasonally change that and keep the regular framed photos “season-neutral” if you will.
Periwinkle! Yes! I love your office references, ALWAYS!
Love seeing baby girl rolling around she looks so much like her daddy ,love your channel from Arizona stay safe stay healthy stay cool 😎
I loved when you talked about journaling, so thank you for sharing! I need the discipline to write in my journal. I love the thought of decorating the cover as well bc I have so many stickers that I’ve just kind of kept, waiting to be used. 😅
Saw Sutton Foster in the Music Man with Hugh Jackman. Her “Til there was you” made me cry!
You and your videos are so comforting!! I rarely comment but I just thought I would to tell you that. I've been watching your vids for yearrsss and you're so genuinely sweet and kind, we don't see that too often on YT and in this world. It's kinda rare.
xoxo
Love that pink sweater you’re wearing in the makeup try on portion. Also, happy birthday and love the journaling ideas.
Hahaha, you are so right! The little one did take all my attention.
Love your videos!
Take care
Happy belated Birthday! One hint on the pork bimbimbap~I add an overeasy egg on top of the bowl & adds that protein creaminess to the sauce. Yum!
Wasn't even watching you put on make up. My eyes were GLUED ON FELICITY!😂😂😂 In love with heeeerrrrrrrr❤❤❤ SO KYOOOT!
I got the Lawless Forget the Filler lip mask in Birthday Cake. You are right-its awesome!
Yes! Love the photo album idea! My mom makes a family calendar every year of all the photos from the year before and it's the gift I look forward to every Christmas! Shutterfly is amazing for making it easy to memory keep❤️❤️
Watching baby Felicity in the corner of the video 💕💕 She's so precious!
I love your little photo printing rant....I started this in 2017. Every Chrisrmas break when my kids and I are off school (I homeschool them), I collect all photos from mine and my hubby's phones, from anywhere else, organize them into folders on our external hard drive and then make a photobook for that year. It takes work, but let me tell you, every one of my kids pulls out the books to look at them, extended family loves to when they come over. Time well spent! You will never regret!
My daughter just had my first grand baby on the 24th. At the beginning of her pregnancy I was able to give her the journal I started the day I found out I was pregnant with HER. She followed along, reading it as her pregnancy progressed at the corresponding weeks. It prompted her to start one for her sweet baby girl too! Maybe someday she’ll be able to give both of them to her daughter. 🥰. Oh, and I started a grandmother’s journal for my granddaughter from the day we found out my daughter was pregnant. I’m going to record all our sweet adventures.
Jess inspired me to start a journal for my three month old son just now. I’m going to fill it with all the precious things I say to him that make me cry. I’m going to ask others to add to it, like a guest book. I like the vision board idea. Spiral bound notebooks are great for putting the clippings on the front, and printed pictures on the back showing how you fulfilled those visions, or the other way around. Congratulations on your first grandchild!
@@cathyc7069 Aww, that’s wonderful! Congratulations on your sweet baby boy! I hope you fill that journal with beautiful, precious memories! 🥰
Try a pencil box/pouch for traveling with brushes. Game changer for me
I agree, I do the same thing 🙌
Lissy stole the vlog on this one. 💜 I was cheering her on to crawl...lol🥰
Decorating your journal is ARTISTIC not juvenile 😉 I'm 32 and I scrapbook journal and play with pretty paper and stickers 😂 load that baby up with all the decor you want girl!!!
I am working on a scrapbook for my daughter. She's 25. That's how long it took me to get around to it. LOL but she's gonna love it when she finally sees it.
I impulse bought the Magic Keyboard when I bought my iPad. Absolutely zero regrets. I treat this thing like a laptop. I especially love responding to texts (I wish it was all texts, not just other iPhone users) by typing rather than doing it on my phone.
Hi, you can receive messages and calls from non iPhone users. go into settings on iPad and click send and receive option and you can modify it.
When you started talking about photos, I thought about this start up that was on Shark Tank...Groove Book. Turns out they were acquired by Shutterfly. They had a monthly service where you could send photos & they'd put together books for you. Going to check it out now.
Have also been thinking of getting one of those photo printers that works with your cell phone....just wasn't sure of quality of the photos.
I used to print photos @ the self service kiosks at Target but they closed them all down (at least where I live) after the pandemic.
Awww I love watching your family vlogs!! We also had a baby girl in April and have so many of the same shoes, bows, etc. as Felicity. It’s so fun watching her grow and feeling like we’re family friends!!
Jessica I LOVE the idea of doing a yearly photo book! My fiance and I are getting married this december and it seems like this year is the perfect time to start really being intentional about our memories and keepsakes for the future :) Thank you!
Cvs has an app for photo printing, i save some favorites every month. I go through and i pick my few favorites, like any special events? Or just a really cute picture captured !
I’ve used chat books for years. One book for every month, 4x6 paper books. You upload every month, 30 pictures from your phone. Theyn they send you a little book. They aren’t archival quality- but they get them off my phone and out where we can enjoy them. Idk how it happened, but each album cover is a nature photo I’ve taken. Love love love Chatbooks!!
**Our vacations/ travels have their own small printed book.
I’m a high school English teacher- in my English education class, our professor told us to have our students (anyone) decorate the first page of their writers notebook with pictures, stickers, photographs, etc. something to make it more personal and enjoyable when you open it. She made us all make our own and it’s the only journal I ever consistently wrote in!! I have my students do it too. There’s something about personalizing the notebook that makes you return back to it ❤
She also is the one who told us WRITE ANYTHING! It can be a specific prompt, a vent session, poetry, one day some doodles, if you are writing a story to brainstorm, etc. they’re meant for all type of writing.
Yes!! I was taught this for my elementary education degree for teaching students writing and so my students always decorated their notebooks too!!
I always do our photo printing around Mother’s Day. It’s perfect timing to make gifts for the occasion as well. I’d recommend looking into a service like Chatbooks or similar for all those photos on your phones that you mention
I have a friend that does a yearbook. Mix of her family and friends and fun things they did that year. Such a cute idea!
I been thinking the sameJess about making yearly photo books yearly. You motivated me to get started sooner then later.
I do yearly Shutterfly books and my kids LOVE looking at them!
Felicity in the background is too cute! 🥰
I would love to hear more about what you decided to do with the photo album. Which site you go with and how you like it.
Inbox me on 👉telegram to claim your valentine gift 🎁🎁
What I do with all my photos is back them up on my computer and then put them on flash drives. We even have a small fireproof safe we keep them in (among other important documents).
As someone who also works from home in front of a screen all day and does influencer stuff online, I love physically writing by hand in journals. I love it anyway no matter what though. I have several different types of journals.
18:05 "I'm over explaining! Are you guys still there?" 😅 Yes!! 💜🥰
I've been journaling since middle school and it's such an invaluable tool. I make lists in mine all the time, in between writing out thoughts and feelings. It really doesn't have rules, and I'm glad you're finding your way into that mindset. 💓
Our mac is almost 10 years old so it’s about time for an upgrade. That ipad and keyboard combo is making me want to upgrade to an ipad!
I have an iPad and a MacBook- I use the iPad the most. Don’t really need the MacBook
I too love that Elf foundation. I have been wearing it a lot! I'm so glad you talked about journaling. I have been a writer for thirty years. The amount of empty journals in my house is crazy, because when I was younger people gave them to me as gifts. It took me awhile to realize after writing or editing or creating all day the last thing I wanted to do was write more!! Lol. So, there you go.
28:20 I had to rewind to hear what you said because I was having that same exact thought!! 😂 I couldn't keep my eyes off of Felicity 😍
Her little head in the bottom left corner is so darling. ❤
14:31 I am the exact same way about having separate journals and doing that really prohibited me from sticking with it!!! I might try again
I’ve been journaling every day since the beginning of Covid. I’ve included cartoons, sayings, pictures, etc. along with the entries. When you mentioned the collage on the front it reminded me of when I did one on my reading journal when I taught. I had my students do one to that told about themselves.
Oh, you know us well, all I could focus on while you were applying the makeup was cute little Felicity rolling around❤
28:21 TOTALLY!!! I was thought we might catch her first time crawling lol.
I’ve had my Magic Keyboard a couple of years and it’s totally paid for itself! Def worth!
My sister does a yearly photo book - they travel a lot as well and it’s such a great way to create memorabilia
I just got a digital photo frame so I can see my favorite pics all the time! We do the yearly Shutterfly books too and love them so much!
So much fun watching Felicity rolling around in the background!
Jess the baby just crawled out of the camera view!!!! Yay!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
I do shutterfly photo books for this very reason! I call them our family yearbooks! They are so pretty on a shelf, and I hope my kids enjoy them over the years and even into their adulthood!
Your photo books would be perfect Valentines for your girls, too! ❤
I do a yearly photo project too, except it's not an album. Instead I make a calendar so we can see all that we did in that particular month a year ago. It's my fun scrapbook project but I also use it as an opportunity to clear out a bunch of pictures from the cloud! I've been doing it for a few years now and I like it because it's functional too! But you do need to be pretty selective in the pictures you want to add.
I have a blank book every year and put in cards I like, write down fun things I did during the month. It is great.
You talking about the snow made me think of Lorelei in Gilmore Girls!
