A Week At Home | April Vlog

Hang out with me at the house. We chat about a lot of topics in this one. How's everyone spending their time?

No pranks here on this year’s April fools. We just stayed home. Marvel movies marathon and eat. One of the great things about these quarantine days is we shared more time with our family. I love this long video Jenn 😍 Stay safe and sane 😘😘

I feel like we should be able to let ourselves gain weight during this pandemic- our minds and bodies are going through a lot of stress so I think we should not be too hard on ourselves weight wise

[@marilyngarcia9246]

When people said “this is the “x” I didn’t know I needed” I rolled my eyes. But, when you were laughing i was unexpectedly laughing, too. The harder you laughed, The harder I laughed. I really needed that, and I didn’t know it. I won’t roll my eyes at that statement anymore.

[@lotushaus]

Omg I died when Ben was talking about your shoes and said “well wHiCh oNe iS iT??” Also I couldn’t stop laughing when u were laughing 😂

[@shrutipalikhe4480]

All of us have been gaining. It’s okay.

[@ds-to5ui]

Tbh, I think it's fine to gain a little weight during this time and be kind to yourself and others who are also gaining the '15'. Don't be so hard on yourself! Obviously we're not going to be in the best shape... it's a global pandemic so allow yourself to relax a little.

[@imjennim]

Thank you for this. It's a reminder that I needed.

[@Inucat9]

Jenn you and Ben are so cute! That last clip was just the icing on top. And I’ve loved how during this quarantine you’ve just talked to us and really opened up. And I like how you weren’t going to berate yourself for gaining weight during this time. Just wear comfy pants and keep it moving. I’ve been trying to have grace for myself during this time and allowing myself to do that has really helped with my mental health. Thank you Jenn for just being a bright star in my life for so many years. Happy Easter and I hope you’re healthy and staying safe!!💕💕

[@sahmommamang]

The way he looked at every makeup details on your face got me dying because he noticed it so much 😂

[@laurenoberlin582]

your whole dialogue on dancing and insecurity resonated with me soooooo hard. I felt that way in high school, through college... and still now! At 23 I still refuse to dance in front of 99.9% of people. I feel like I never hear anyone else say that so I got a funny satisfaction out of hearing you open up about it. ❤️

[@imjennim]

We aren't aloooone!

[@hannahbrown5995]

@@imjennim I used to feel this way about sports- I'm pretty bad at most team sports, so it made me intimidated to go to the gym! I'm also not the greatest dancer, but I'm definitely better at dance and exercise because I found that Zumba classes were really helpful. Good classes are encouraging and do loads of different dance styles, so you can figure out what you like best. I found that it helps you use that bit of your brain that helps you learn a routine, and keeps you present because you really can't think about much else!

[@AmbreenK]

I love how Ben kept looking at your face when you were pranking him and he didnt say anything and just kept looking. Your laugh was soo contagious too. 😂

You’re beautiful no matter what Jenn! I saw a great quote yesterday -something along the lines of “if weight gain is the worst thing we have to worry about how lucky are we, and if we come out of his heavier and softer, at least we came out of it at all”

[@chamkimhangshing2982]

omg jenn, i laughed sooooo hard when you were filming the rapid-fire prank with Ben, so that he could notice your make-up. HAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHA i laughed way too much with you. the fact that he didn't really say anything about it but you were in anticipation that he would hahahha, soo cute love you both so muchhh.

[@kaitlinyau6094]

thank you for sharing your story about your discomfort with dancing!! as i’ve grown older, i’ve realized that too much discomfort, self-doubt, and wallowing in the negativity and anxiety create a self-fulfilling prophecy. it’s so easy to have these thoughts, and like you said - it’s all about inspiring confidence in yourself and being intentional about your thoughts and choices.

[@tamnguyen6357]

"I was so afraid of failure." That was so me growing up too! I don't know if it had to do with growing up in an Asian household, but I said no to many opportunities because I was so afraid of not being good at it the first time around or not "looking good" while I tried it out. Definitely got way too in my head about caring what other people think. Also Jenn, don't be so hard on yourself about the weight gain! Some of the things my therapist told me when I was especially self-deprecating was re-framing my thoughts into something positive. So while you may think about gaining 15 lbs, you could also think that you're fortunate to even have the opportunity to gain weight or "damn, that was some good banana bread" and think of it as a momento of all the great baking you've done :D

[@nataliesoutlet]

“Tik tok is hard” LOL same girl it makes me feel like I have two left feet lol

[@TruthOrClaire]

"Do you want to sit here?" "Yes, please." Ben is so polite! My fiancé and I were eating green tea ice cream at a restaurant, and I tried to prank him by switching his spoon with a spoon that had wasabi on it instead. I kept laughing though and I ended up giving myself away. 😂

[@katalinachung]

I lost it at “Tiktok is hard.” It was so sincere 😂😂

[@Paulina-ki7ds]

It's so interesting hearing you talking about dancing and how you always struggled with it. I oftentimes don't feel comfortable inside my body but whenever I am dancing all of these negative thoughts go away. I am not a professional dance by any means nor do I think I am especially good but whenever I dance I just let loose. It's a form of meditation for me and it brings me so much joy and happiness. I am glad that you are gradually finding you way and dealing with your fear of dancing.

[@wonderrlandalice]

I honestly feel like this time was given to us to we can: 1. learn more about ourselves 2. learn more about our family/loved ones 3. spend more time with family/loved ones 4. be true to who we actually are with no distractions of the outside world defining who we THINK we are (our artificial self) 5. learn about everyone else's qualities both good and bad 6. learn who are your true friends and foes 7. meditate / detox your mind body and soul 8. love yourself the way you want to love others 9. discover flaws and talents about yourselves 10. spread positivity and support through this hard time we all are going through that helps connect us in a more positive way We can do this. The more we all do our best the faster this will be over --- stay safe, strong, and humble.

obsessed with your editing. And that banana bread looks incredible.

[@winemouth4742]

First off! No matter what, gaining weight is not an inherently bad thing. I think that’s really important in the way we talk about ourselves. ❣️ Secondly, given the current situation, the LAST thing anyone should be worried about is their weight! We are all so incredibly stressed and we need to allow ourselves to deal with it however we can - whether you're feeling more or less active, productive, eating healthier or not. It doesn’t matter as long as you’re able to keep your mind healthy first.

[@null8104]

Your vlogs are so relaxing and satisfying. Just what I need on a chill quarantine day 💕

Everyone: being healthy/ productive Me: waking up at 12 sit on the couch and go on tik tok/ youtube watching other people being productive

[@BethanyChan]

As a dancer and perfectionist, I totally resonated with your talk on being too scared to do something because of the fear of failing. In terms of dancing, I think the most important part truly is (as you said) confidence and finding what the song or meaning of the movement is for you. Because yes you could be the most flexible or nail all the hardest moves, but if you don't move with your heart, soul, and meaning, it becomes just dance moves and not a fun thing to do or in other ways a language to communicate what you are feeling. ✨

Hi Jenn! Just wanna let you know that as an experienced dancer, I’ve always seen dance as an outlet to let loose and set myself free.

Everyone is probably gaining a bit of weight atm but u know what, it’s ok! Everything is already hard enough, so having people complaining about their “waistline” really doesn’t help with everyone else’s self esteem atm, like we really needed something else to think about atm.

[@darcyreadssometimes3904]

thiiiiiiis. I do wanna come from a compassionate place though. Jenn, I hope you will give yourself (and your viewers) a break.

[@ds-to5ui]

10000% agree. It's literally a global pandemic... we need to relax and stop thinking that gaining a few pounds is a bad thing. Weight gain is not a good or bad thing-- it's simply what it is. We need to be healthy, but there is a fine line between stigmatizing it and being aware in order to make healthy choices when possible. We're human, let's be kind and focus on what is truly important.

omg I completely relate with your dancing fear!! I was so so shy. I remember my first dance, the 8th grade dance lolol, I didn’t dance at least 80% of the night. I was mainly sitting and wandering around. I don’t know remember what made me start to move my body, but I do remember I realized that no one was staring at me, and that wasn’t like a dance contest I imagined it to be. I think that was the night I broke my shell, and to this day I’ve been to every dance in high school and even performed on stage. :))

[@ardenyeh9523]

Hi Jenn! Thanks again for the amazing video. I love how you are always so relatable by being upfront about your insecurities and challenges in your life. I have also been baking a lot of banana bread. If there was such thing as "the fruit of the year", bananas should definitely be THE fruit of 2020. With that said, I have also been struggling with insecurities regarding weight gain. I just want to say that you still look amazing as always! Prior to the pandemic I used to get my lashes done every fortnight; I wish I could pull off the no falsies look the way you do! In terms of dancing, your reflection on deep-rooted insecurities make a lot of sense. I think that a big part of dancing is the flow of movements, and that flow comes with being comfortable enough to let loose. I also think it's important to realise that a lot of really good dancers have struggled with the same insecurities that inhibited them from achieving that flow. But remember, practice makes perfect! I have recently started playing this online card game again, one that I used to be really good at. There's a competition going on that qualifies players for world championships, and I kept losing and losing. I told a friend about how frustrating it was to see other competitors win effortlessly, and my friend kindly reminded me that a lot of them have been playing for a lot longer than I have. My friend also reminded me of to not forget to have fun. I think his advice may be relevant to your situation with dancing. I am confident that you will achieve anything you put your mind to! xx
