A Kinda Chaotic Week | November Vlog

[@imjennim]

Been scrambling around this month and whew! Finally a moment to take a breather on my private island. 😅How many of you guys have your own island? Hehehehe.

[@mikepiccolo32]

None of us Jenn. You are doing so much better than the rest of us

[@jennbren11]

I do. it's called nah island! What is your island called Jenn?

[@alexis_bryn]

I have one and i have it to relax too! Took me forever to get one this year. Like everyone was on the same boat! What’s your island code??

[@juanpedro4083]

I have schizophrenia and I would like to smoke marijuana? What to do? Can you help me?

I legit thought she was having a Kim K moment when she said 'I booked a ticket to a private island' loool

[@sophiachang]

WAOWWW you looked incredible at your shoot! Also, YASSS to your Nintendo partnership!! How freakin cool Jegg!!!

[@imjennim]

Eeee ty Sof! n_n

@@imjennim what's acid reflux, Jenn? Just explain it to me straight away.

[@shristib]

I love the fact that she earns her living through social media yet she promotes digital minimalism. I love the consistency and creativity to stay offline.

[@nimagooy762]

Jenn: I booked a ticket to a private island... Me: Wow rich!! Jenn: .. on Animal Crossing Me: OH! lol

[@imjennim]

Plot twist~

[@MaralMary]

“I booked a trip to a private island to destress... it’s my animal crossing island” LOL Also thanks Jenn for inspiring me to create my own videos 🥰

[@imjennim]

Eee yes! You gotta start!

[@MaralMary]

@@imjennim I did! And girl let me just say you make it look so easy😅

[@lindsaymac2913]

I'm glad you talked about the New Yorker's writing style being hard to understand. There's still a bit of a misunderstanding today that using floral language and sophisticated words is considered good writing. But good writing is simple and understandable. It's a subtle "art" of learning how to construct sentences that flow together and using words at appropriate times. You use words to make an impact on the readers, and you can't do that if all you write is a confusing mess of thesaurus words in an attempt to sound smart.

[@glynvee]

the editing of this video is *IMMACULATE* 🥺 I can only wish to have this level of perfection for my videos 🥰

[@ciuncinmarin985]

Just keep practicing. I am sure you ll be great😊

WAAAAAAT!? NINTENDO!? Ugh I’ve been following you for ages, Jen. I genuinely care for you and appreciate that you have remained so real through this whole KZbin journey. Nintendo is huge and I feel so happy for you 🤗✨

omg when you said you booked a ticket to private island LOL

[@silkymilk5018]

I really like when you break down things you’ve read and include them in your vlogs :) it’s like a fun little tid bit

[@charisquejada9888]

Your weekly Sunday uploads help me with getting over the "sunday scaries"and the mid-day Sunday depression. Thank you Jenn ❤️

[@CherryWallflower]

Jen recommending us the best underwear and providing examples is so wholesome LOL

[@imjennim]

Hahaha. Here with the wholesome content baby!

[@jiyeonlee5452]

Jenn something that personally helped me a lot with keeping up with the news is just subscribing to morning briefings (like for NYT, WSJ, etc.)! It's a nice routine for me to just spend a few minutes each morning getting caught up :)

[@imjennim]

Ooo I'm happy to hear that's working for you. n_n

[@annettedoodles]

LOVING the styling and the clothes for the shoot. gives me more OG jenn alternative/rock style that i first was introduced and obsessed with!

[@forthecurlies6513]

Jenn is my absolute favorite KZbinr. Her content is so versatile and entertaining. I am never bored when watching Jenn. She is so creative and passionate.

[@niche_acads]

Jenn Im is my mood for November! Been watching her videos and her vibes are so powerful, inspires me to be productive

[@dig2341]

I agree completely with you, Jenn about consuming fast media. I find even when I read news online from websites like NY Times, I find I get distracted and can’t read to remember, with intent but jump around not finishing reading a whole article. I was inspired by your advice and decided to get a couple print subscriptions to magazines too. Long form journalism is really the way to go.

[@imjennim]

Yess! I can't really concentrate on reading articles online either. What print subscriptions do you have?

[@dig2341]

@@imjennim I subscribed to The Atlantic and being Canadian I also subscribed to The Walrus, which is very similar to The Atlantic. I literally subscribed to both after watching your video! I was also tempted to get National Geographic but I don’t want to get ahead of myself, hehe. Probably like you, my book to-read list is long enough too.

[@valerialezcano9405]

I love how you gave a little insight on how you’re consuming media. I would love to know more on how you are educating yourself more in that realm & also about the podcasts you listen to! You give so many good recommendations I would love to know! Anyway, great vlog as alwaysss Jenn! UwU

[@jclark8337]

Jenn I’ve had a pretty rough month and so my “good” schedule I had created this year; sleeping early and getting up to workout in the morning, enriching my mind (listening to podcasts/reading books), cleaning my space, eating healthy, etc. was thrown to the wayside. Seeing you keeping on top of your life + constantly striving for improvement has inspired me to get back on track for myself. Thank you for reminding me this with your vlogs! I usually find your content really well-made and inspiring, but I just wanted to let you know 🤗

[@iluvsushix03]

THE WIGGGGGG tyler the creator would be immensely flattered

[@amandabracero-torres9590]

I’m at 6:33. I TOTALLY feel you on the hopeful happy vibes in the day and despair feelings when the sun goes down. I have no clue what to do about it either, maybe evening yoga??

[@gigit4884]

I adore Nailbox! The people there are so sweet and gentle, and the quality is amazing. Worth every penny.

[@A.l.e.x.e.a]

To chime in to your conversation about overly-processed media: I'm reading a great book called This Idea is Brilliant (talking to professionals in different fields about ideas they don't think get enough attention) and a psychologist spoke about how it's our modern habit of only reading headlines (or incredibly simplified infographics on IG) that has created our current state of political extremism-- Because you read a straightforward headline and it feels black or white, you agree or disagree, and we don't take the time to read the article and learn the angles that develop a grey area/space to compromise. I just thought that was super interesting and relevant to your conversation Xx

[@aadxy]

This is soooooo interesting! It makes me think about why I had to unplug myself from social media. I noticed that I became so quick to judge everything and stand on a side of a topic because it seemed logical or like the right way to think but i wasn’t thinking about how I really felt or the reality of adding a certain view point to my life and relationships. Def gonna check this out!

[@nikoletamarinkovic8241]

the part where you were folding your laundry was so pure and real I appreciated that angle

[@emitrajkovska]

On the topic of gut health, my dad is a doctor and always tells me not to drink a freshly squeezed juice at once. He's like "Would you eat 2 oranges in a matter of seconds?" :D Apparently is not good for your stomach P.S. always enjoying your vlogs :)

[@rwwar]

I've been watching Jenn off and on over the last many years and recently - Jenn - everything has been on point. I've soo been enjoying all the new videos!

[@luckksy]

Thanks for sharing your slow journalism experience ♡ I so totally agree with what you said about the internet not being able to provide you with the comprehensive stories!

[@Roziemusicofzoow]

Ah I've been so torn on finally getting the switch and Animal Crossing, so I think this video came as a sign from above!! Your video's always make me feel calm and inspired, thanks for doing what you do!

[@annagu6605]

I love how you always casually drop the biggest news on us, it makes us feel like real friends and family

[@NatalieBarbu]

YOUR SHOOT. THE WIG. Perfection.

[@jkyuro]

I had a phase last 2017 when I also read more New Yorker than any social media and I agree: it was absolutely a better experience, not to mention that I felt sharper than ever (helped me widen my perspectives AND MY VOCABULARY). Great vid Jenn!

[@mikaelakim602]

your vlogs always leave me feeling so calm and refreshed. I'll never get tired of them!

[@TheVideoFotografia]

Your dedication inspires me so much, you make me want to keep cultivating myself 💕

[@acheu2]

Hey Jenn! I completely agree with your perspective on slow journalism and highly processed media! I feel like so many people on social media are trying to share information (often bite-sized), but sometimes out of context and like you said, not the full story. I work in data journalism in an editorial team and honestly see the pros and cons of what you've brought up on a daily basis. I've also started to read more from The New Yorker and The Economist!! Always love your videos :)

[@gina_jean]

That’s so cool! My sister designed the inside of nail box before their grand opening :)

[@yafavegirljas]

The shoot looked like so much fun omg can't wait to see how the pictures turned out

[@imjennim]

Thanks Jas! n_n Everything comes out on Thursday~

[@louisa5171]

I find it soooo interesting that you view news in the form of magazines more reliable and giving a fuller picture than the news you access on social media. I tend to think the opposite, that the number of editors may manipulate it to fit a certain narrative or the more people that you put in between what's happening and the finished story, the more diluted the story gets whereas the media you can access on social media may come from more first person experiences. I'm still a big reader of all forms of news but just thought that was interesting! Loved the vlog as always :)

[@ninadias5811]

You'd think it's pretty obvious to treat employees with respect but a LOT of companies, do not. So in the grand scale of things, I do believe that does need to be repeated and reminded. Just speaking on my own experience of not being treated with respect in the work place. Love your reading recommendations!

[@thebookbujo]

LOVED THIS ONE. Ugh your vlogs are literally saving me during the quarantine. But oh yeah my island is looking fine as hell. Well I just build my first bridge so that's me being happy with my island LOL

[@SomeStuffSaidAndDone]

Hey Jenn! Just to clarify, we actually just ended Daylight Savings time and we’re in standard time now. That’s why there is actually less light now during the day since we’re not technically “saving” the daylight. Anyway, LOVED your video!!

[@imjennim]

Ahhh! Thanks for clarifying that for me.

[@katelynhoffland7198]

This is my personal hill to die on 😂 we love daylight savings, we hate standard time

[@inmothlight]

Hahaha yes! I came to say this! It's a common misconception!

[@lyviaray8819]

Yay!! A new monthly vlog from Jenn! Loved the music you chose for the shoot!!! Amazing vibes -- Also warning to any New Yorker newbies - It is incredibly frustrating trying to cancel your subscription and the student discount only applies to schools in the US -- Personally prefer to use all of the free newsletters different news sources offer!!

[@yosoyk1n]

Ahhhh! The struggle to take a break from coffee is so real. I made the switch from coffee to matcha a few months ago, and it honestly one of the HARDEST things I had to do! But I did notice that I no longer experience that crash most people get in the afternoon. And I no longer get headaches if I happen to skip coffee for whatever reason. It definitely took some time but I personally think it’s worth it. I also use an app called Brief that sorts out unbiased news information & they use a time line to tell you how a particular story unfolded up until a certain point!

[@lianunez415]

loved being a part of the curl up club discussion so much! meeting you and everyone there is definitely one of the highlights of my year ❤️

Hello, Jenn! I am your Filipino fan and it is my first time to comment on your videos but Iven been enjoying your contents for a long time. You influence me a lot specially on book reading because I also love novels and your recommendations are really amazing. Your choice of words are also unique and you always explain in a concise manner which I think is helpful for international fans. Continue to inspire many women! You are an empowered one. Take care! ❤️

I’ve been having the same problem with coffee recently so I just decided to cut caffeine as a whole for a while. Anyway, I always enjoy your videos and you are so inspiring! Take care!

Loved your little run through about the chemicals in our brains! And your "current reads" discussion.

[@hiNoodlesXD]

Jenn, we are in standard time now!!! Daylight savings' purpose was to save lights & electricity that people use during everyday. There's more sunlight throughout the day and therefore we would use less electricity. That means you DO LIKE daylight savings!! So vote to keep daylight savings!!

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

Your hair color cut everything is so flattering on you! Beautiful 🥰

ahh yes!! growing up i realized that it’s magazines like the new yorker, the atlantic, reader’s digest, etc. and just non-fic in general that i was really drawn to and i didn’t really get it as i am from a lower middle class family in southeast asia. but seeing you jenn get excited over your subscriptions just makes me inspired again to get to that point in my life when i can get subscriptions of my own haha 😅

Congratulations on the collection, the photoshoot was amazing! 🎊🎉💖👑 Also well done on tackling the 'nooks and crannies' I am sure you will 'Marie Kondo - Konmari' those spots in no time 👏🏾 Agree with your points on vetted journalism. I love how you share your thoughts and perspective on what you are reading, as they say you learn better when you teach and share what you have learnt yourself. I certainly have noticed your growth in using your own authentic voice over the years. You certainly had a busy week/month 😊 Stay safe and well x

omg the egg chairs/decor in your animal crossing house made me think of Eggie, how fitting! :D love you jenn!

[@arwaeissa2013]

I had the same problem and that is because, I used to drink coffee on an empty stomach. My advice is to refrain from drinking any caffine on an empty stomach because on the long run, it might cause stomach ulcer.

[@elise7892]

jenn i relate sooo hard on the magazine thing!!!! it’s my preferred way to get news because of all the background and context. but like you i feel so much pressure being behind on books 🤦🏼‍♀️ i could never keep up with the new yorker unfortunately but i find TIME magazine to be a happy medium between full blown long articles and fast media! looking forward to another update on the atlantic and maybe i’ll subscribe there next

daylight saving is for having more light in the morning! So pushing an hour forward during winter time means you have more light in de morning. In the summer you return an hour to not have daylight at 3/4 o'clock.
