I really appreciate you NOT doing sponsorships - I’m sure It’s hard to refuse them at times. I admire you for that. You’re one of the few channels I watch because you don’t sponsor products. It’s a question of trust and I truly trust your recommendations. I’m glad you’re not letting your injury impede your Scotland trip. Keep healing and I’m so looking forward to hearing about your trip!
Hi Jennifer!❤🎉 June birthday girl here as well! 🎉I do alot of motivational speaking and hear many agreements with your thoughts on the luxury youtubers...you are on point. I did not watch a youtuber Jerusha but have heard many say exactly what you did, they unsubscribed to her bc she became unauthentic, snobby and pretentious with all, seemingly not how she used to be😢....be PROUD of yourself for staying true to you, your followers and the reason you starred UA-cam😊....as I say in my talks, you have to genuinely love what you do with honesty and graciousness, to show true love to others ❤...keep being you! blessings always!
A huge thank you for all you do and your time. You are the only UA-camr that I would consider purchasing from your links. Not taking sponsorships or brand deals speaks of your integrity and (the loss of income) and wanting UA-cam to be fun and not stressful or a "job." All the best. Lisa
In my opinion, it depends on what you want out of your YT channel. In your case for instance, you do a variety of things like cooking (I still miss those, Jennifer!), travel, grocery shopping, life events-some good some others not so good- in addition to showing your collection of handbags, both luxury and other, as well as suggesting everyday items in the "favorites" segment. Focusing only on "luxury" had definitely an "expiration date" from the beginning. It had to happen. Keep doing what you are doing. We'll be watching and following your beautiful channel. And most importantly, keep up with your PT!! As a runner I've had all the injuries in the book, but my therapist always puts me back together. Have a fantastic summer vacation!
I am so with you on brand sponsorships Jennifer. While I accepted some products to review in the past, it did not feel genuine to have to review with specific talking points and content requirements. I prefer authenticity in the content I create and consume to product promotion, but to each their own. Have seen so many who started in our little luxury community go in the other direction, and that’s great for them, but I’m happy here in my little world of sharing with genuine people who I feel a human connection with. Enjoy your trip and I wish you all the best with your recovery! ❤
Thank you for staying true and authentic. You and Jennifer are the true OG's it's sad that Jerusha swayed away from what she used to be. Many need to learn from you both❤❤
You are one of my favorite You Tuber. Your videos are very down to earth and we have a lot of the same taste in fashion and luxury. I enjoy your recipes and your favorites are very interesting. Thank you for your hard work to make these videos. Enjoy your trip to Scotland and hope you can share some of your photos. Hope your elbow heals very soon.
Have a wonderful time in Scotland Jennifer! You will have to have some kind of a reminder not to pull or lift heavy stuff because it's a natural response to quickly move or lift luggage etc.. Perhaps just put it in a temporary sling now and then as a reminder! Thanks for another great video and I hope your arm feels better and better quickly. 😀❤
Jennifer, hoping you get a good report on your arm! Please keep us updated on the latest results. I’m sure the exercises will take time. So glad to hear that you are still enjoying the YT journey!!!! You do “influence” me to purchase from your favorites videos and I’m so grateful you share those items!!! High end or low end, it’s all fun to share information with our girlfriends. I’m excited for you and your family to go on this great vacation! This trip sounds amazing!!!! Hope everything fits into the suitcase as planned!🥰💖
So excited for you on your upcoming trip.There are only a few you tubers that seem genuine and you are at the top.I like all your content especially the decorating n travel videos.Your love for your family is so evident which is warming to the heart..I appreciate so much that you have taken the time to communicate to comments showing that you really do care about your followers.
Jennifer, I really enjoy your videos because you are real. You are a person that people can identify with and trust! Your honest reviews and favorites has steered me in the right direction a couple of times now with make up and handbags. Love it!
I just love you! I hope you and your precious family have the best trip ever. 🥰 Also, prayers for the healing of your arm. Thanks for always making my heart smile. xoxo
Awe I love you Jennifer! I LOVE not having to fast forward through ads in your videos 😂 but seriously! It definitely makes us view you as more authentic. Sponsorships definitely can be a turn off for me when selecting youtubers to faithfully watch! I'm so excited for you all going to Scotland! Have a blessed day💛
Hi Jennifer, I hope your arm heals quickly and your doctor appointment went well. I find your channel so refreshing because there isn’t sponsored content. I appreciate your honesty and the time you put into your channel. Have a good weekend! 💕
Jennifer you are such a lovely genuine person. I stopped watching you tube for a break. I got fed up of videos being sponsored etc. I now limit who I watch. Love from England. I am also visiting Scotland next week. My daughter lives in Stirling. So beautiful. xxx
I love how honest and genuine you are. Because of that I feel I can always trust your opinions. I think you are the only one that I watch that doesn’t take sponsorships and I thank-you. Have a wonderful vacation!
So good starting my day off with virtually seeing and hearing you Jennifer.....your upcoming trip sounds family wonderful....praying your arm keeps healing....hoping for good news at your appointment on it! Very sad that happened to you.
Thank you so much! I had good news at the appointment. Everything is healing as it should, and I will be starting physical therapy soon. First stretching and then strengthening. I just need to keep babying it and not overdo anything, or fall again!
I’ve watched Jerusha on/off for years. I’m glad she’s stepping back and taking a break and hope she’ll return one day. I can’t imagine how it is being on YT as a creator but I do enjoy watching y’all. PS your hair looks great and is getting so long!
Have a wonderful trip. Enjoy Scotland and England. Sounds like a great time with family. Love your rain garments. You may start a new fashion trend over there. 😊 🌨☔️
This was a funny video. Really shows your personality. I enjoy watching you, Melinda and Minnie the best bc I can tell this is not a job to push products on others. If it’s fun for you, it’s fun for us. If it’s work for you, then it’s work for us too and not fun anymore! Keep up the good fun and hope your arm feels better!
We lived in England three years back in the 90’s. I so wish I’d done archaeology there. I did a lot of archaeology work here in the U.S. back in the 80’s and part of the 90’s. We visited Scotland many times and loved it so so much. Edinburgh is one of our fav cities. Castles are some of my fav things, too. Can’t wait to see your adventures.
I always enjoy your videos (even if I don’t always comment ☺️). Love the little life updates and following along on your day to day videos. I also really appreciate that your channel is “Just Jennifer” - in the best way!! I also don’t always trust when a video is sponsored, but can also understand that temptation to do so. Stay just the way you are ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and keep the videos coming 🥰
Thanks for sharing!!! You are one of my favorite you tubers!!! I don’t even like watching sponsored videos!!! I feel like I’m chatting with my bestie when I watch your videos!!! I wish I lived closer to you!!! We’d be friends for sure!!!
Hi Jennifer! This sponsorship discussion is interesting- I love that you don’t take them on, and for that reason, I trust your recommendations implicitly! You have definitely influenced a purchase or two…. I tend to lose interest in UA-camrs who are beholden to sponsorships and fast forward through those parts of their videos. On the other hand, you should be compensated somehow for bringing in sales for these companies! It’s a bit of a conundrum, but I feel your credibility is stronger absolutely, and you have a more authentic relationship with your viewers when you’re not being paid to talk about products. Another thing I appreciate about your channel is the variety of topics you share. When UA-cam feels over saturated with luxury purchases, your videos still hold up because your channel is not just a luxury handbag channel. So thank you for being willing to share your life with us! I personally have gotten a lot out of your candid videos about your parents passing and other adult coming of age topics 🙏💕
Thanks for sharing this! I really do love your approach to you tube! It’s just so honest and fun…and relatable. That’s why I always think, in real life, you would be a good friend to go to lunch with and talk about our life, families, etc. You’re just like me. LOL. Well, not just like me, but a lot of similarities. I think we have similar values, which is hard to find on you tube. I always know when Lily Silk has a promo going, because almost every single person I follow has a video sponsored by Lily Silk and the videos are all the same. 😂 I love your genuine opinions and just seeing glimpses of your life. Keep it fun and relaxed and true to your self. I, for one, love that! Looking forward to your video on quiet luxury! I’m still perplexed about someone telling me my Hermes belts are dated since they have the H on the buckle. Apparently the Kelly belts are a better choice now. I have one of those too, but still enjoy my other belts as well. I find the whole scenario quite comical. Just wear what you like, what looks good on you, etc. 😅
Such a lovely insight into your world Jennifer. I live on a a Scottish Island. I hope you have an amazing trip. We have been having wonderful weather here. I hope you get to experience Scotland in the sunshine. You have so much to cram in . Try & go to Glasgow if you can. So many wonderful museums & historical places to see there. . Not far from Loch Lomond . Anyway keeping everything crossed that your arm is healing well my friend, much love from Bonnie Scotland 🏴Xxx
Sounds like a great trip to Scotland. Good plan to prepare for rain in Scotland and if you get sun it will be a pleasant surprise. I respect your recommendations very much and trust your opinions. No taint of influence by brand. Good health and healing for your arm.
I am very grateful that when you suggest a product or I order something you have suggested…I know you sincerely like the product. It’s like a friend suggesting things that you have found to be wonderful. I have watched UA-camrs in the past who now push endless products. Nothing is a bigger turnoff. I quickly unsubscribe. The worst is when numerous ones pitch the product within a few weeks of one another….to me that just means they all for the offer to pitch something and why in the world would I trust that opinion? Thank you for being you and sharing what you do along with glimpses of your day. It is the most appealing aspect of a channel to me.
It got to a place where it seemed so many only bought to do a video and your channel has never fallen into that. I believe every product that you show has truly worked for you.
Thank you Beverly. Yes, it sure is a difference going from hot weather wear to cold and rainy weather clothes! I'm looking forward to it though, since I don't get that kind of weather as much anymore. I hope you had a lovely trip!
I'm From Scotland - lived here all my life :) Loved this video - I totally agree that a lot of the big UA-camrs have now become untrustworthy etc as we don't know what was and wasn't send to them and if they are being paid to promote a product!
Loved this topic regarding other UA-camrs and the stress their channels has caused them. I can certainly appreciate the burnout some of them say they are experiencing. On the other hand for those of us that have followed certain UA-camrs and loved their personalities and channels and then all of a sudden see they are sucked into a vortex of being a salesperson for company X. Kudos to you for holding your ground. I’m sure being inundated with those requests and having to turn them down must take a lot of willpower and vision. It’s also disheartening when every month there’s a top 10 list of their favorite perfume or foundation and that product is never mentioned again down the road. Adding to all this stress is probably the owner of the platform themselves, telling channels with larger # of followers how many videos they must produce OR ELSE(!) they risk becoming demonetized! Jerusha, I think she will be back in less than 6 months. I did like her channel but I guess I got older and wanted to see more topics such as life challenges and growth and I didn’t watch her as much in the last couple of years, no fault of hers. You do am amazing job and I personally have purchased MANY of your recommendations :)
That’s why I like your channel; your suggestions and recommendations are good products you’ve tried and worked for you. I’m not going to miss Jerusha. She’s been toxic and rude for a very long time, but I think she’ll be back in attempt to grow her audience by being MIA for some time.
It's so interesting learning the behind the scenes of a UA-camr. I've been influenced in the past and wonder how on earth someone can give such glowing reviews on something that in reality is of low quality and overpriced. Thats why I trust and love your straightforward and honest approach when it comes to your favourites. I know I can trust your opinion. Wishing you and your family a fabulous holiday. Definitely take all the waterproof bits. I haven't worn any sandals so far this year as the temperatures have been low. Cashmere and layers is the way forward!! Durham is so pretty. You're going to have so much fun. Maybe callan should take a tiara for the photos of her surveying her land.... 😂😂 Can't wait to see your adventures. Xxxx
Thank you so much Jackie. That means the world to me! We are getting excited for the trip and I have definitely been digging out my cashmere and waterproof bits. The name of this travel game is mix and match, layers, and comfort. I like your tiara idea. Ha! Xxxx
Hello Jennifer! I knew I really admired you since the first day I came across your channel, but now after this video, my admiration for you grew exponentially. You are a hidden gem on UA-cam, especially, because nowadays everyone is interested in making money instead of providing honest product reviews to their viewers. May the Lord bless your heart and soul so that you can continue to bring us honest and sincere content that add real value to our lives. ✝️🙌🤲💜
I've been watching your channel forever and ever. I watch You Tube as an escape, and to wind down a bit in the midst of a very busy life. I do not want to watch sponsorships and brand things. I get that people need to do that to support themselves, but if there are too many in a given week, I'm out. I love your channel and especially love your favorites videos, especially what you are reading, watching, and listening to, as well as beauty goodies. :) Hope your elbow feels better soon.
If someone has the luxury ( no pun intended) to create regular content and not have a financial need to monetize it, more power to them. But, that’s not the reality for a lot of people. Creating content is very time consuming and creators, such as yourself, deserve to be compensated for providing entertainment for viewers.
Hi Jennifer, I so am with you on sponsorships. They annoy me. I do understand why UA-camrs do them so they can make money. But I hate watching them. And to be honest I don’t. As soon as they start in I fast forward. I don’t come to UA-cam for commercials and that is what they are. Hope you got good news at your appointment about stretching out your arm. Will they send you to physical therapy? Enjoy your weekend! Jackie from Indiana
Hi Jackie. Thank you! Yes, I am starting physical therapy soon and will be first focusing on the extension and then graduate to weight bearing exercises. I hope you are having a nice weekend :)
Jennifer I feel ya, I hate to be in the rain! I’d rather be in the ❄️. 😊 It really chills you to the bone. I agree Jennifer, you would probably (like Jerusha) loose the joy in doing YT. I can see why she got frustrated. Honestly she has multiple businesses & should just stop all of the “job” side of it, she may enjoy it again. 🤷🏻♀️ IMO YT is too volatile to make a sole source of income but to each their own.
Yes, this has been planned for over a year and we got it to work with both daughters’ schedules. So excited! We traveled extensively with our girls while they were growing up and we are eachother’s favorite travel companions.
Yes, I would live in hope,although the rain in Scotland in the summer is like lemonade. I was born & bred in Glasgow till I married. 19 degrees ? I now believe in climate change ! Although I always did. This confirms that truth. You’ve got the right clothes though. Clever girl. If you don’t have enough you can always buy more. ENJOY.
Jennifer.- I was just thinking how much I love your blonde hair :-). When I did UA-cam I got all those offers too but one stands out for its ridiculousness. Nivea contacted me offering me a free tube of Nivea cream if I did a dedicated video for the lotion. They wanted me to do a complete dedicated video for a $6 tube of Nivea lotion and that one product only - with no compensation. One last question - is that raincoat you bought true to size? I'm going on an Alaska cruise and need a waterproof jacket. I hope your arm heals quickly.
Hi Wendy! Thank you about my hair. It's still lighter but less one dimensional, I guess. Ha! Your Nivea story is funny. The range of products offered is amazing (room heaters, wigs, jewelry, food, skin care, car parts...) Yes, I'd say the rain coat is true to size. I'm between a small and medium and I went with medium because I knew I would be wearing sweaters under it. Still gives me room to flail my arms around (a very necessary movement for me, apparently...Ha!) I'm So excited for you on your Alaskan cruise!! That's the one cruise I want to do again! Enjoy and take in the absolutely breathtaking scenery.
@@JustJennifer Thanks Jen! I'm so excited about the Alaska cruise. Staying in Aqua Class on the Edge in July. I'm treating my sister to the cruise for her 65th birthday. It's going to be a bucket list very special trip.
I personally don't like videos with sponsorships. The youtubers have to stop in the middle of their video and talk about it for like 10- 15 mins. then the video goes back to where it pauses at. It makes me loose interest in the video and I stop watching it. I really appreciate you not doing Sponsorships. Thank you!
Hi Jennifer great video and as always I completely agree with you I just put out my first video and I went back & forth for years before I finally just did it but it’s exciting and scary at the same time if you get a chance I’d love if you could pop over and watch love you and hope your drs apt goes well and you enjoy your trip 💚💚💚
Hi Craig! I just watched your video and have to commend you for doing such a great job of it. I feel like I know you better and loved hearing your stories. I can tell you are genuinely a sweetheart and I can't wait to see more of your collection and hear more of your stories. Video suggestion: I would love to get a peek at your Himalayan Kelly!! (drool) 💚
I really appreciate you NOT doing sponsorships - I’m sure It’s hard to refuse them at times. I admire you for that. You’re one of the few channels I watch because you don’t sponsor products. It’s a question of trust and I truly trust your recommendations. I’m glad you’re not letting your injury impede your Scotland trip. Keep healing and I’m so looking forward to hearing about your trip!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. 💕
My husband just came back from a golfing trip to Scotland last week. He said it was cold and rainy everyday. He and his friends still had a good time.
We are prepared to expect almost any weather thrown at us! I’m so glad he and his friends had a good time.
Jennifer you are such a lovely genuine person. I stopped watching you tube for a break. I got fed up of videos being sponsored etc. I now limit who I watch. Love from England. I am also visiting Scotland next week. My daughter lives in Stirling. So beautiful. xxx
I love how honest and genuine you are. Because of that I feel I can always trust your opinions. I think you are the only one that I watch that doesn’t take sponsorships and I thank-you. Have a wonderful vacation!
Absolutely! Go Jennifer 🎉❤
That’s why your name works! Just Jennifer! Keep it up, you’ve become a friend and an encourager to so many of us! ❤
Thank you so much!! ♥️
I have always enjoyed your videos. You are one of my favorites and I totally appreciate and respect you take on things and sponsorships.
So good starting my day off with virtually seeing and hearing you Jennifer.....your upcoming trip sounds family wonderful....praying your arm keeps healing....hoping for good news at your appointment on it! Very sad that happened to you.
Thank you so much! I had good news at the appointment. Everything is healing as it should, and I will be starting physical therapy soon. First stretching and then strengthening. I just need to keep babying it and not overdo anything, or fall again!
@@JustJennifer Excellent news Jennifer.....so happy to hear!! Keep on healing and sooner than later this will be behind you!
I’ve watched Jerusha on/off for years. I’m glad she’s stepping back and taking a break and hope she’ll return one day. I can’t imagine how it is being on YT as a creator but I do enjoy watching y’all.
PS your hair looks great and is getting so long!
Have a wonderful trip. Enjoy Scotland and England. Sounds like a great time with family. Love your rain garments. You may start a new fashion trend over there. 😊 🌨☔️
This was a funny video. Really shows your personality. I enjoy watching you, Melinda and Minnie the best bc I can tell this is not a job to push products on others. If it’s fun for you, it’s fun for us. If it’s work for you, then it’s work for us too and not fun anymore! Keep up the good fun and hope your arm feels better!
Thank you!
100% with you! I only consider reviews if product is bought with someone’s own cash. Your integrity is refreshing! Safe travels.
Thank you so much!
Appreciate your honesty and transparency about sponsorship ❤
We lived in England three years back in the 90’s. I so wish I’d done archaeology there. I did a lot of archaeology work here in the U.S. back in the 80’s and part of the 90’s. We visited Scotland many times and loved it so so much. Edinburgh is one of our fav cities. Castles are some of my fav things, too. Can’t wait to see your adventures.
It’s not often I come across someone who has also done archaeological work! I find it fascinating as well.
@@JustJennifer mine was all amateur archaeology on my part done under the supervision of professionals. But I learned a ton and absolutely loved it.
I always enjoy your videos (even if I don’t always comment ☺️).
Love the little life updates and following along on your day to day videos.
I also really appreciate that your channel is “Just Jennifer” - in the best way!! I also don’t always trust when a video is sponsored, but can also understand that temptation to do so.

Adding to all this stress is probably the owner of the platform themselves, telling channels with larger # of followers how many videos they must produce OR ELSE(!) they risk becoming demonetized!
Jerusha, I think she will be back in less than 6 months. I did like her channel but I guess I got older and wanted to see more topics such as life challenges and growth and I didn’t watch her as much in the last couple of years, no fault of hers.
You do am amazing job and I personally have purchased MANY of your recommendations :)
LOVE your sunglasses. Can you tell me what they are?
Your rain ☔️ wardrobe is so Swedish 😂 💯 I love it. And yes I have rain pants from Sweden and used to wear them commuting to work on the bus! Haha 😂
That’s why I like your channel; your suggestions and recommendations are good products you’ve tried and worked for you. I’m not going to miss Jerusha. She’s been toxic and rude for a very long time, but I think she’ll be back in attempt to grow her audience by being MIA for some time.
Thank you
Great video Jen. Love your honesty!
Heal quickly😊
Thank you!! 😊
It's so interesting learning the behind the scenes of a UA-camr. I've been influenced in the past and wonder how on earth someone can give such glowing reviews on something that in reality is of low quality and overpriced. Thats why I trust and love your straightforward and honest approach when it comes to your favourites. I know I can trust your opinion.
Wishing you and your family a fabulous holiday. Definitely take all the waterproof bits. I haven't worn any sandals so far this year as the temperatures have been low. Cashmere and layers is the way forward!! Durham is so pretty. You're going to have so much fun. Maybe callan should take a tiara for the photos of her surveying her land.... 😂😂 Can't wait to see your adventures. Xxxx
Thank you so much Jackie. That means the world to me! We are getting excited for the trip and I have definitely been digging out my cashmere and waterproof bits. The name of this travel game is mix and match, layers, and comfort. I like your tiara idea. Ha! Xxxx
Love that your one daughter is going to school for archaeology - awesome!
You must must go to Durham Cathedral and their summer market in the square… also Lake District. Have a wonderful trip!!!😊
Yes! We will definitely go to the Durham Cathedral, and I hope we are there during the summer market in the square. That sounds delightful! Thank you
I admire you so so much!!!
I love your channel and l am so happy you are leaving it just like you are doing .😊❤

Thank you Sandy!
Hi! Do you have a link for your shirt? Good luck with your elbow!
Yes! And it's on sale. go.magik.ly/ml/22ux4/ Thank you!
Hello Jennifer! I knew I really admired you since the first day I came across your channel, but now after this video, my admiration for you grew exponentially. You are a hidden gem on UA-cam, especially, because nowadays everyone is interested in making money instead of providing honest product reviews to their viewers.
May the Lord bless your heart and soul so that you can continue to bring us honest and sincere content that add real value to our lives.
✝️🙌🤲💜
I've been watching your channel forever and ever. I watch You Tube as an escape, and to wind down a bit in the midst of a very busy life. I do not want to watch sponsorships and brand things. I get that people need to do that to support themselves, but if there are too many in a given week, I'm out. I love your channel and especially love your favorites videos, especially what you are reading, watching, and listening to, as well as beauty goodies. :) Hope your elbow feels better soon.
Thank you so much for being a long time viewer friend! Sticking with me this long through all the changes and so forth means the world to me ♥️
If someone has the luxury ( no pun intended) to create regular content and not have a financial need to monetize it, more power to them. But, that’s not the reality for a lot of people. Creating content is very time consuming and creators, such as yourself, deserve to be compensated for providing entertainment for viewers.
Hi Jennifer, I so am with you on sponsorships. They annoy me. I do understand why UA-camrs do them so they can make money. But I hate watching them. And to be honest I don’t. As soon as they start in I fast forward. I don’t come to UA-cam for commercials and that is what they are. Hope you got good news at your appointment about stretching out your arm. Will they send you to physical therapy? Enjoy your weekend! Jackie from Indiana
Hi Jackie. Thank you! Yes, I am starting physical therapy soon and will be first focusing on the extension and then graduate to weight bearing exercises. I hope you are having a nice weekend :)
Jennifer I feel ya, I hate to be in the rain! I’d rather be in the ❄️. 😊 It really chills you to the bone. I agree Jennifer, you would probably (like Jerusha) loose the joy in doing YT. I can see why she got frustrated. Honestly she has multiple businesses & should just stop all of the “job” side of it, she may enjoy it again. 🤷🏻♀️ IMO YT is too volatile to make a sole source of income but to each their own.
Completely agree.
Always enjoy all your videos / vlogs, Jennifer 😊
Scotland, so lovely. St Andrews is a great day trip from Edinburgh, check out the university there. Eat their sheep cheese.
We are very excited! Thank you for the recommendation. Sheep cheese! Will do :)
How lucky you can all go together.
Yes, this has been planned for over a year and we got it to work with both daughters’ schedules. So excited! We traveled extensively with our girls while they were growing up and we are eachother’s favorite travel companions.
Hi Jen, sending you good vibes for your Scotland trip!!!✈
Thank you!!
Currently 19 degrees here in the South Side of Glasgow. 😎
Lovely! That's what we are hoping for 😎
Yes, I would live in hope,although the rain in Scotland in the summer is like lemonade. I was born & bred in Glasgow till I married. 19 degrees ? I now believe in climate change ! Although I always did. This confirms that truth. You’ve got the right clothes though. Clever girl. If you don’t have enough you can always buy more. ENJOY.
Jennifer.- I was just thinking how much I love your blonde hair :-). When I did UA-cam I got all those offers too but one stands out for its ridiculousness. Nivea contacted me offering me a free tube of Nivea cream if I did a dedicated video for the lotion. They wanted me to do a complete dedicated video for a $6 tube of Nivea lotion and that one product only - with no compensation. One last question - is that raincoat you bought true to size? I'm going on an Alaska cruise and need a waterproof jacket. I hope your arm heals quickly.
Hi Wendy! Thank you about my hair. It's still lighter but less one dimensional, I guess. Ha! Your Nivea story is funny. The range of products offered is amazing (room heaters, wigs, jewelry, food, skin care, car parts...) Yes, I'd say the rain coat is true to size. I'm between a small and medium and I went with medium because I knew I would be wearing sweaters under it. Still gives me room to flail my arms around (a very necessary movement for me, apparently...Ha!) I'm So excited for you on your Alaskan cruise!! That's the one cruise I want to do again! Enjoy and take in the absolutely breathtaking scenery.
@@JustJennifer Thanks Jen! I'm so excited about the Alaska cruise. Staying in Aqua Class on the Edge in July. I'm treating my sister to the cruise for her 65th birthday. It's going to be a bucket list very special trip.
I personally don't like videos with sponsorships. The youtubers have to stop in the middle of their video and talk about it for like 10- 15 mins. then the video goes back to where it pauses at. It makes me loose interest in the video and I stop watching it. I really appreciate you not doing Sponsorships. Thank you!
Great chat
If I went to Costco and couldn’t push a cart and only able to hold items I want to purchase in one hand… I’d spend so much less! 😝
So true! I was able to buy 2 t-shirts for Jim, a bottle of shampoo and a bag of cashews 👍🏻
I always love your chats
And I love chatting with you!
The blonde hair looks good on you.
I love your hair!
I don't care for all the lab grown diamonds! ❤❤
Hi Jennifer great video and as always I completely agree with you I just put out my first video and I went back & forth for years before I finally just did it but it’s exciting and scary at the same time if you get a chance I’d love if you could pop over and watch love you and hope your drs apt goes well and you enjoy your trip 💚💚💚
Hi Craig! I just watched your video and have to commend you for doing such a great job of it. I feel like I know you better and loved hearing your stories. I can tell you are genuinely a sweetheart and I can't wait to see more of your collection and hear more of your stories. Video suggestion: I would love to get a peek at your Himalayan Kelly!! (drool) 💚
@@JustJennifer Yay that makes me so happy thank you for taking the time to watch means so much suggestion noted 💚💚💚💚
‘It’s a scam’ 😂 so cute
Actually, I said scheme (meaning a cute way to make money for the renovations of the castle), but "scam" kinda works, too! 😆
Hard of hearing🤣. I think that’s a great, fun fundraising scheme for both parties.
It looks like you are leaning toward being blonde? But maybe not. lol
My original intent was to lighten it up a bit. But it’s starting to get a bit lighter than I’d like.
