Your Job Is To Like Yourself | May Vlog 

Happy Sunday everyone! We've got another vlog for yall. Let's catch up!

Funny enough, I only loved reading and writing too after I graduated. There’s something about not being forced to do it and learning to love it myself that makes me want to keep doing it. Lesson is that it’s never too late to start anything and actually love it!

Because of the quarantine, I had more time to be with my biggest critic, myself. I’ve created tiny habits like journaling at night, meditating for a few minutes, working out. Anything to keep my spirits up and put me in a better mood. Life becomes easier if we become good friends with ourselves ✨

Jenn is really keeping me going this quarantine. Her videos are very therapeutic, very calming, very chill, and it's what I need or what we all need. 💓 Once again, thank you Jenn. Stay safe and healthy 🤗

Oh yes! Writing without pressure keeps the passion. I thought I loved writing and went to write for a marketing department of a global hotel chain, the deadlines just suck out all the creativity and it's no longer an art or passion that I loved. So, I've learnt that not all passions should be turned into a job 😊

my parents used to use the library as a “day care” too! i remember spending HOURS there every single school day to the point where i knew the librarians by first name haha + bailey school kids was my favorite series in elementary school too!

Hey everyone, just a daily reminder to love yourself through the act of perseverance and self healing. I truly hope everyone single one of you have a great day! Oh and remember...stay hydrated

a notification from Jenn Im gives me a heart fluttering feeling 💛

The reason why I like your channel is that I can see how you enjoy your life🥰

Jenn, your personality is literally a ray of light! Thank you for continuing to post such uplifting, quality content for so many years. Your hard work definitely does not go unnoticed

I want you to know Jenn that this type of content keeps me fulfilled during self-quarantine.... thank you

EId Moubarak to everyone celebrating! Thank you Jenn for uploading and being consistent during this quarantine xx

Yea exactly!! I can't be the only one who's been watching korean cafe vlogs????? Idk how one day youtube suggested those videos to me and i am now hooked

She's such a genuine, sweet and intellectual woman. Glad I stumbled through her channel. Sending you lots of love, Jenn!

I love when you tell us about your self love and how journaling has helped you on that journey ❤️ a lot of us have been avid watchers and subscribers since the beginning, and as your viewers, hearing about that growth and reflection that you’re having with yourself from 2018 is nostalgic bc we all feel those feelings with you and have watched you during your highs and lows ✨💕 I love this!

Happy Birthday to your dad!! I had no idea he’s 60, he seriously looks like 40!! And I commented this on your IG photo and guess what!! Your dad liked my comment!!! That makes me happy haha!💛💛💛

She said, “.. just relax, and be a blob,” and I really felt that. Lol

Your video title and thumbnails are so warm they just make my heart melt (especially today’s’!)🥰😍

9:27 Primary school? Ben must be influencing you a lot 😂

Jenn has no idea how much she has helped me, a few months ago I started therapy but seeing her tips and what works for her has helped me a lot, is like getting a guide on how I can work on myself, I forgot completely of her and I was like omg i havent seen Jenn wtf. and her glow up from some years ago when I was watching her WOW is really inspiring and I love how much she is into mental health. We all need to work on ourselves before I asked for help I would wake up and be like, now what. I don't wanna eat, go out, like what's the point. Eating for me was like omg I have to eat, my friends and family would have to tell me EAT and put the plate in front of me, then I would be like oh yeah I'm hungry lol I would forget to eat cuz I just wasn't hungry, just that, I was as dead inside, I was the type of person who would sing in the shower, car, doing something, dancing, being silly..... suddenly I stopped. I also didn't want to see anyone, stopped painting. having no money to be able to buy material made it worse so I stop. After last year I finally asked for help after an overdose, moved to another city and started to get help from my mom, went to therapy, started meds, after a few months suddenly I woke up SO HUNGRY and so early when to the kitchen all HAPPY making myself breakfast ME I hated doing breakfast, I started to feel a little love for myself making the breakfast for myself making it look nice for me, my mom hugs me every sec cuz she is is so glad seeing my progress. I still have a lot of trauma and things to work on but now I can actually see the light at the of the tunnel and that for me is everything, is what I need to keep going cuz every time was harder to recover. just wanted to share this, ps English is no my first language

If you like the loose wave look, I'm a big fan of braiding your hair when it's barely damp and then letting it air dry. Has been my go-to when I'm lazy :)

love watching other influencers get influenced so relatable.

“Just put me to sleep! I can’t deal with this!” Lol Virgo energy. Thanks for the reminder I could fill my evenings with things I enjoy that I normally wouldn’t allocate the time to do. Every time I need grounding I bump into your videos. I appreciate you!

I love how Alisha and Jenn cue each other in their vlogs! I remember watching a vlog where Alisha mentioned seeing Jenn's headband, and now Jenn's using the egg cooker!

I really needed to hear this 🥺 I woke up today in such a bad mood, hating how I looked in the mirror. It was a reminder that I’m so hard on myself and give myself affirmations every once in a while. Thank you Jenn!

Thank you, as a almost 50 yrold woman and a mom, I have inly started to realized that it is my job to loe myself eventhough i have given lots of loe to everyone else. Coming from an abusive asian family to be told you are useless, etc..,i forgot that I am a precious human being that my kids and hubby always tell me. Tq this totally hit home

You are so inspiring! I have been having a hard time mentally and have been learning a lot about myself and watching your videos truly make me happy and make me want to do better for myself. Thank you for being you ❤️

Please don't stop uploading Jenn, you're such a huge inspiration and soul food to all of us who are wandering and feeling lost out there.

what i love jenn is that she really being herself even in front of the camera and never pretend💛

LOVEEEE your vlogs! Your videos are a huge inspiration for my channel! Thank you💕

the video title: your job is to like yourself my insecure ass: *I KNOW IT‘S NOT THAT EASY THO*

I loved this! Been watching since your OG room tour / what’s in my bag when you were at college. Have been such a fan since then. This felt honest and cozy and true Jenn content, thank you ❤️

memory is the foundation of identity. 🥰 My Korean husband told me that the first half of life is about creating memories, and the second half is to reminisce. I think they link ! Thank you Jenn.

I have cycled through so many youtubers I watch but Jenn, you have been one I’ve been subscribed to and watching for years now, since you were going to Davis. I appreciate and admire so much how you’re constantly looking to better yourself and challenging yourself to continually learn, even though there is zero pressure for you to do so. You’re truly an inspiration 🥺

Hey Jenn, I love the idea that your only job is to like yourself, and to do things for yourself that like yknow, make you feel good about yourself, and loved and taken care of. Loving the positivity and insightfulness

You know Jenn is genuine when she puts no ads on the video. Thanks Jenn if you see this!

OMG!! Jenn, I love when you talk about how you feel and how you have overcome that through the years, you make me feel inspired to take care of my mental health! You should do a podcast!!!

Hey Jenn, I’ve only got through 7 minutes of the video so far but your thoughts on journaling resonates with me a lot. I have been journaling since I was in primary school but they always got read by my parents and that was scary for me. Now that I’m older I can finally trust my parents not to read my private thoughts but over the past 3 years, about 5 journals including the one I have now have all been repetitive on negative thoughts dumping on page after page. It’s not healthy and I’ve noticed even though a something happens to me, I always end up writing up to a point where I blame myself and my conduct just me. I always write out crazy to do lists for myself which I never get done because after all that dumping I need a million and 1 things to get done to make myself feel better. I still journal that way but I think it’s important to be kind to yourself. I’ll write down some silly affirmations as I am towards the end of this journal 😋 hopefully it’ll get better. I think I should write my pages in the morning rather than the evening as well as I tend to do that. I manage to start my day well, but by the middle of it I’m pressuring myself to get too much done it just depresses me into writing what a failure I am. And these are all repetitive even from 2/3 years ago, my negative thoughts are word for word the same somehow. Thank you for your thoughts on this as I can’t afford therapy right now and journaling helps contain my emotions. Okay now I’ll watch the rest 😌🥰

You girl! Jen loving these uploads from you. It’s Eid here and we’re stuck at home. So, your video made my Eid extra good. Love ya!

Always when I'm feeling down, I watch or rewatch your videos! They always bring me to a better place 💛 They are so calming, and you are so real. It really helps, thank you Jenn 🌸

You are literally such a role model. Such a beautiful, intelligent soul that always strives to improve herself. You're so relatable and grounded! I love you so much and appreciate these videos that you post. Where you're vulnerable and sharing flaws with us, motivating your viewers to change for the better as well

I can't wait for the day I can buy a book written by Jenn

I love your positivity but at the same time how relatable you are! Always showing us that you are not perfect either, like when you were impatient with the baking paper. So cute!

I am such a big fan of you and all you do, Jenn. I started my own channel all about Afghan food inspired by you and it gives me so much joy! Any other Afghans here? Say hi 🙋‍♀️

Thank you just being you Jenn!! Your authenticity and vulnerability is such a light during these times. I hope even in your darkest moments, you remember how great of a human being you are. Not because you do things perfectly or because of your success, but because of your resilience and beautiful heart. Thanks again for always being genuine and open with us; you provide such a safe space to connect, learn, and grow. I'm eternally grateful for you! Sending you lots of love and positive energy your way during these times

This is so timely for my birtbday today. I've been way too anxious lately and watching your videos helped me ease my anxieties and remind myself that I'm good enough. So thank you, Jen! You've been such an inspiration to me ever since. 😊

I really loved the idea of affirming myself. I really don't do that often and it's something that I really need to start doing.

This video could not have come at a better time. These past few days I've come to the striking revelation that a lot of my depression and anxiety stems from self-loathing. I need to forgive myself for the mistakes I've made in the past and learn to love myself more.

Idk why but when I see you I just feel much better and relaxed and happy 🐰🌼❤️

Sunday’s are the best😌 thank you for the reminder to be kinder to ourselves-it’s often hard to remember.

Jenn, I’ve watched you for years and at this point your videos feel like catching up with an old friend. I especially appreciate it now that we’re all social distancing. Much love! ❤️

Jenn, it’s always great catching up with you. I used to journal pretty much everyday in my teens and that’s stopped in my 20s. I guess life gets so busy. Lately, I’ve been struggling with remembering simple things. You reminded me that writing does help the memory, even just to brain dump can improve retention.

Happy 60th bday papa im!! Thank you for bringing jenn into our lives ^^

Jenn I respect you so much. You really try to improve yourself in so many aspects and I look up to that growth mentality.

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR DAD!!

Jenn, I literally don't understand why you don't have a podcast!!! You make such great, positive and thought-provoking points that generally make my day!

Your videos are always so calming. Feels like I‘m talking to the wise older sister I‘ve always wanted

Jenn getting excited abt her boiled eggs is so cuteee

Am I the only one thinking that Jenn is just glowing in this vlog ? Like girl you radiate positive energy ☀️

The reason why I kept watching Jenn’s vlog since a long time until now because everything that she says is very THERAPEUTIC and she’s a very positive person which inspires me. If there’s a chance, I would like to meet her and I wanna let her give me some advise about life, and encouragement.💜

OMG!!!!!!! I was completely obsessed with both of those series also! Read them all in a flash back in third and fourth grade. NOSTALGIA!!!

I spent almost like an hour finding this video/channel because I forgot your name and I needed it🥺 I'm glad I found it again!!

Oh my gosh. Junie B. Jones was a part of my childhood too.

sleepover outfit is the cutest ohmy

You're so wise and positive and this video is honestly ALL i need during quarantine!

This video feels like catching up with a sister that I never had ❤️

Watching your videos is so refreshing and enlightening

everything you said about your high school writing and reading struggles is EXACTLY how i feel rn. you voiced what i was feeling SO WELL

Wowww,her videos always gives me motivation 🤍.

I saw it I clicked on it I’m just at the beginning of the vlog but I’m already happy to see you 🥰💗 Your videos always boost my joy in a day 🌸🌸

I honestly love watching Jenn's vlogs, they're so calming and she's so inspiring in every aspect of life

Love this, Jenn! Thanks for all the quarantine content. Your videos are always so chill and calming. Stay safe 🤍

please keep bringing the cozy content - these are the best and most comforting lately! :)

jenn, i really really appreciate you so much❤️ you are always such an inspiration, i have always been learning so much from you✨ Seeing how much you have grown so much through these past few years, it makes me so proud and happy! 💗Thank you for being such an encouragement!🙆🏻‍♀️ Thank you for being REAL❤️ love you so much🥰

Been binge watching ur vlogs! They’re so therapeutic🥰

Jenn, you are such an inspiration! I have been struggling with personal growth and watching you grow, motivates me to try harder 😊

I so need one of these giant transparent mugs for the liters of tea I drink!! I love getting inspo from your videos! Happy belated birthday to your Dad! May was also a big milestone for mine, as he turned 80. While I couldn't be in France to celebrate, I edited eight fan videos on some of his favorite movies and songs, and I could watch his reaction live on Skype, so we made it work despite the distance! Your discussion of fashion reminded me how much I want some new summer tops!

You speaking of the library just reminded me of all the time I would spend at the library or bookstore with my grandmother. She really got me into reading and as a young kid (before I could really read) she would always read to me or my mom would. My grandmother would always bring me around books, though. She also got me really interested in Asian culture and food, and got me hooked on anime. Oh sweet memories ❤️

I love your excitement towards the egg steamer! I grew up with one so it was normal to me but everyone was flabbergasted when they had eggs at our place. Some thought it was lazy, others thought it was mind blowing 😄💕

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, your positivity. Mean a lot to me. You're an inspiration Jenn. Thank you to be you. Love you🍀❤

Ah Jenn! It’s always so nice to see your growth on here - thank you for being so open and honest. It’s not easy putting ourselves out there, and I see you!!! 💖

I love the idea of having a space to just record a stream of consciousness, and I LOVE Margaret Atwood so I'll be looking for her masterclass!

Hey Jenn, I have been following you for 7 years and I'm 25 now, I liked you at first because i feel like your personality, likes and dislikes are similar to mine like books, fashion and films too so you are kinda like the friend\older sister I always wanted to have, all through these years we were always around the same age group and going the same 20-something age struggles and your videos and advice and even seeing how even you are trying to figure it out sometimes made me take thing a bit easier on myself. Thank you for being you and sharing parts of your life with us. PS: I love the way you think and choose your words when you talk, English is not my first language and that too helped me learn it outside of school and express myself better in it, I truly admire you and will always support you, sending you virtual big hugs & hot Cheetos haha.

Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know what to do with the evenings. Thanks for some ideas of stuff to do!

Absolutely love this Jenn, been a while since i've been this motivated :)

Jenn’s big smile always motivate me to be happier and be optimistic!

ms.jenn your TITLE is what i need

Happy 60th Birthday to your day, Jenn! Also, I totally agree that you should make it a daily goal to like yourself; It's so easy to hate yourself and it takes so much strength and emotions to really like myself.

As someone who struggles with forgetfulness, I’ve definitely been getting into the habit of writing down my moments and feelings. Super helpful!

Thank you Jenn for such great subject, I love watching ur videos, that helps me to improve my english. And I agree with you about trusting and loving ourself!

jenn is such an amazing person inside & out!! also love your tik toks, the fashion cartoon character was my fav!! ☺💕

Your story about your experience with the library in your youth is so relatable- it was a haven for reading and studying but definitely a love/hate relationship 😅

BAILEY SCHOOL KIDS!!! Mermaids don't ride motorcycles, cupids don't flip hamburgers, wow... memories

I love that the egg cooker made you so excited because it is probably the most impressive thing I’ve seen ever!!!

I can’t explain how much I needed this vlog. Love the flow of your vlog 💫.

I find myself writing when I am stressed or upset so I never go back to read it because it’s such a negative mindset. It just helps me get all the negativity out. I am trying to remember to also write during positive mindsets so I can go back and enjoy reading those.

i really wanna try that cake now!!! and thats so true jenn we are and should be our biggest advocates!! i used to think that my life is only worth living if others think so and give me the validation. i was wrong! validation from others even if they can be encouraging can never be and will never be enough for us to live contented lives, it really is the self love that matters the most and what makes us better humans be it a better daughter, friend or lover and also what ultimately gives us the biggest drive to truly live and not just survive!!

I LOVE these kind of videos. Jenn you're making this hard time so beautiful and positive . Thank you ❤️

LOL! That egg thing! I can't make space for just an egg gadget but how cool with the stabbing and no cracks/leaks!

Hi Jenn Im! You are my biggest inspiration ever since I found your channel when you were clothesencounters. I admire your style and your tiktok on cartoon outfits is by far my favorite of all the ones I’ve seen. Your word choice is inspiring! And I found your videos to have so much value from your recommendations on products and books, to your advice based on your experiences! I genuinely love watching your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and your voice with us. You’ve made a positive impact in my life! Much love, A supporter, Ashley. ♥️
