Loving the weekly vlogs - I’m 51 and there is so little content on UA-cam that I find relatable now. You’re a breath of fresh air and I’m really enjoying watching along. Also a curly girl and thanks so much for the refresh tips - will try that for sure!
Dreading Inauguration Day & the fires are devastating.... I agree the vibe I'm feeling is generalized anxiety. Appreciate your advice and will continue to donate and make myself settle by sticking to a nurturing routine. Thank you!
I love the curly hair, I'm always jealous of curly haired friends until I remember how much work goes in to it! I think for 2025 I'm going to need all the dog content to find my moments of zen so please give Scooby, Lenny, and Sadie some extra treats for the overtime they will be putting in.
Scooby is just the most handsome boy 🐾 ❤ I agree with you there at the end… it is a strange time. Thanks for talking about it and helping me get through it!
Our Boston Terrier, Jasmine(yes, for the Disney princess) always chased the sun up our staircase. Thanks for sharing your sweet dog enjoying the sun and pets.
I really enjoy your week in the life videos. I teared up watching you with scooby. Just taking the time out of a busy day to show love to your pet. We all need these quiet moments to breathe.
Oh my gosh Jen you had me giggling with your blow dried hair, only because my hair is exactly the same. It’s big lol I’m really trying to embrace my curls and am loving them as well 😊
Lovely video… LOVED the Scooby snuggle section… Think that should be mandatory from now on.. The new blue dress is fabulous…. I’m still de- cluttering….the grandchildren’s toy pile is taking for ever as I to decide…clean,mend,sell,or keep!! 👍🇬🇧
You and I have similarly textured hair. My curls appeared after menopause. I usually do 5-6 days! So much easier than when I used to “beat my hair into submission” with heat tools.
I enjoy making lists for all of my trips. I’m sure this says something about my personality, but for me it is almost as fun to plan a trip as it is to take the trip! 😂
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge I just deleted my Instagram account because of the censorship of your post. I am sure Meta will not miss me, but I cannot support or use a platform that operates this way.
Thanks for the Scooby moment of Zen. And, yes, take that win while luxuriating in your bathrobe! I am here for it. And trying to stay grounded. 🤞Thanks, Jen!
Love the music you chose in the beginning of the vlog when you were cleaning the kitchen! I too was cleaning my kitchen while watching and the music was chefs kiss
HNY Joy! For sure things are a little cra-cra here in the USA! Hopefully, things will get better vs “WORSE”! 🫣 Hope springs eternal! Keep those videos coming and keep the faith! 🙏🏽
Definitely feeling the chaotic, heavy energy of all that's going on in the world. I've been having to dissociate, but understand what you mean about grounding. It's a stressful time. On a lighter note, I love your curls!
That's my goal so thank you. I want to make videos that make people feel more calm. Not a lot I can contribute to the lunacy but that I feel like I can do!
Your hair curl type is same as mine: it's called "2c/3a". It's a hair type that falls somewhere between wavy (2c) and curly (3a), with loose waves that can sometimes appear more curly towards the ends, often with a defined "S" shaped curl pattern, but not as tight as a full 3a curl. To keep as much curl as possible overnight, I put mine up in a "pineapple" for bed and then refresh it in the morning with water and a touch of products. Or sometimes I'll just brush it out into loose waves.
I love the curly do. My hair is similar. I plan to try a diffuser for the first time. I usually air dry only. Hopefully, it turns out as good as yours. Your curls especially compliment the gray.
Super fun vlog! I agree that organizing and thinking through outfits and other things is the best part of packing for a trip! Especially for a magical Disney trip! I will spend so much time and redo things for weeks. I'm not hurting anyone, so who cares, right? 😉 The new hair cut looks fabulous curly too! It gave me Merida vibes at first, which is amazing because she is a kick butt princess! Have a great week!
I am searching for things to do next week to keep my mind from spiraling. The pantry will be a good start , and a major closet destash after that. Thanks for the inspiration!
As a Canadian I am also concerned about Monday. So I did an entire kitchen reset today as having a stress free home is something that I can control. Loved the video.
Hi Everyone 😊 This is in regard to the hair dryer: For those of you who may not wish the Dyson price point, I have a similar Shark (speed styler) and it leaves my hair looking like I just came out of the salon (I have similar curls as Jen). After much review work, the Dyson appears moderately superior, but for the price point, you can get close to the Dyson with the Shark. My hairdresser agreed. Still a might pricey but an alternative to look at, if you wish.
Will not be watching any inauguration programming as MLK jr day and will be watching documentaries on a truly great man. Excellent on your CostCo haul! Costco is a super store! Live your channel Jen! Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Rachel! Honestly when we are at Disney I like to at least have some that are more like shorts because of climbing in and out of rides and things but I hear what you're saying!
I wake every morning with a feeling of dread. I fear the cruelty that is about to be unleashed. I thought I would try “detachment” as my coping mechanism, but I just can’t ignore the human suffering that is coming in trump’s america.

Oh I love reading that, Miki! Thank you!
Jen, you are my sanity right now. Thank you for your light 💙
And you all are mine!! Thank you, Alexis. We will get through this.
When you were with your dog i cried. When I see this is reminds me of all the lost lovies in my life.
That's hard but YES to bringing back the good memories!
Dreading Inauguration Day & the fires are devastating.... I agree the vibe I'm feeling is generalized anxiety. Appreciate your advice and will continue to donate and make myself settle by sticking to a nurturing routine. Thank you!
We can get through this. We have to! Hang in there and I will too!
I totally agree! Hang in there. Appreciate reading your comment. Have a reflective MLK Day. Thanks for donating!😎🌴
I request that the puppy intermissions become a regular thing please 😍🥰

YES I'm just grateful they haven't formed a union yet ;)
I’m with you! I’ve worked for 45 years (still going) and if I want to sit and do nothing, I will! 😂😂😂
I’m saying! This exactly.
I'm loving the weekly vlog series. Excited to get to keep just hanging out with you each week as you do your thing. 😆
Oh I'm so glad! Thank you, Ashley!
Scooby is just the most handsome boy 🐾 ❤

Your rescue dogs won the lottery when they were adopted by you. But I'm sure there are times when you feel as if they rescued you. Love wins❤
We just feel so blessed to have them!!!!
You and I have similarly textured hair. My curls appeared after menopause. I usually do 5-6 days! So much easier than when I used to “beat my hair into submission” with heat tools.
And even then half the time it didn't work - and God forbid there be a sudden rainstorm!
I enjoy making lists for all of my trips. I’m sure this says something about my personality, but for me it is almost as fun to plan a trip as it is to take the trip! 😂
Lisa I do entire youtube videos about it over and over and over and it's not just for you all . . . love it!

TRULY THE BEST
Agree 👍

Listen, a little frantic cello always makes me work better and faster!
yes naturally curly hair and when someone asks me what I do or how I part my hair, my answer is "I don't anger the beast". lol
SHE DOES WHAT SHE WANTS, Shannon. It's not for me to say . . .
Love seeing Sadie laying on the couch ❤
She is usually super camera shy!
I really enjoyed this video! Make more of these.
Every Saturday that's the plan! Thanks, Barbara!
Jen, I love how you're fur babies love you.
ME TOO! THANK YOU, Debra.
athleta is a great go to for travel. stylish and it really holds up. it is worth the $.
your dogs are just the sweetest little souls
Right? We are so lucky!
You can guide curly hair. But yes mind of its own!another curly girl here
Looks different every day! I'm OK with that but yeah.
HNY Joy! For sure things are a little cra-cra here in the USA! Hopefully, things will get better vs “WORSE”! 🫣 Hope springs eternal! Keep those videos coming and keep the faith! 🙏🏽
Honestly I am so grateful for this little space on the internet. Y'all remind me of all the good!!!!
Enjoyed your vlog. Love seeing the daily antics of your day. Helps me to organize mine as well. 🙏🏽❤️
Oh I love to hear that!
Definitely feeling the chaotic, heavy energy of all that's going on in the world. I've been having to dissociate, but understand what you mean about grounding. It's a stressful time. On a lighter note, I love your curls!
I mean if we have to go through this particular hellscape of a timeline at least we can have fun hair? LOL seriously, thank you!!!
We love to stuff pecans in the Annie's Cinnamon rolls before baking. So good.
Um what?! Will be trying!!
These are so relaxing. Also, Scooby and s such a love!
That's my goal so thank you. I want to make videos that make people feel more calm. Not a lot I can contribute to the lunacy but that I feel like I can do!
Skip the shape wear!! You look great, embrace yourself as you are ❤
honestly it is way more comfy without!
Great vlog sweet doggies 😊❤😊
It was a crazy week! I think it was the full moon that made everything hectic.
Your hair curl type is same as mine: it's called "2c/3a". It's a hair type that falls somewhere between wavy (2c) and curly (3a), with loose waves that can sometimes appear more curly towards the ends, often with a defined "S" shaped curl pattern, but not as tight as a full 3a curl.

Thank you! I knew there was a 2 and a 3 in there:).
Nice to spend ‘online’ time with you Jen. Xx
Oh thank you, Julia!
Scooby’s eye color is beautiful!
Isn’t it? He’s magical.
I love the curly do. My hair is similar. I plan to try a diffuser for the first time. I usually air dry only. Hopefully, it turns out as good as yours. Your curls especially compliment the gray.

The new hair cut looks fabulous curly too! It gave me Merida vibes at first, which is amazing because she is a kick butt princess! Have a great week!
LOVE Merida! And yes, she and I have very similar hair!
I have the same rule about not cooking when I go to Costco. We either eat there or grab a rotisserie chicken and salad.
Doing the shopping and then putting it all away is ENOUGH for one day!
I love my Dyson too❤
I mean, did I NEED it? Nope. Not at all. Do I LOVE it and does it make me happy when I use it? Decidedly yes.
Love your new cut. My hair is curly and so hard to handle. I have it up all the time because it doesn’t suit my face when it’s down.
It took me YEARS to learn how to style it a way I felt comfortable with. I get this!
The dress looks great on you. I would get this if it had more shoulder and set in short sleeve perhaps my arms are not toned at all 😂
Still could work as a layering piece though?
I am searching for things to do next week to keep my mind from spiraling. The pantry will be a good start , and a major closet destash after that. Thanks for the inspiration!
Listen, whatever helps do that!
As a Canadian I am also concerned about Monday. So I did an entire kitchen reset today as having a stress free home is something that I can control. Loved the video.
I am definitely doing some stress organizing over here!!

YES I have heard this, Michelle! Great comment!
At my age, I’m thinking I don’t want to go out if the temperatures are much OVER my age! 🥵
😂Fair enough!
I’m feeling like we are finally moving in a positive direction. I love your channel!
Thank you, Karen!
Will not be watching any inauguration programming as MLK jr day and will be watching documentaries on a truly great man. Excellent on your CostCo haul! Costco is a super store! Live your channel Jen! Keep up the good work!
Such a fabulous way to mark the day!!!!
The shape wear is completely unnecessary AND if wearing it makes you feel good, do it!

We can't and shouldn't ignore it. And at the same time we can find our moments of peace and joy. I'm right there with you, Susan.
