Here is their link www.shopbeam.com/jenniferscott and code JENNIFER gives up to 35% off the original price. Thank you for watching today. I hope you are all doing well. Love, Jennifer

[@darlar.9043]

Is there a way to change the flavor with the subscription for the Beam products or are you locked into one?

Hey I heard you got a new mattress what is the website you got it from?

[@pinewoodcastle]

When I was in grad school, renting the upstairs apartment in a home, the domestic sounds of a neighboring residence filled my heart for the longing for a family. The clinking of dishes, violin practice, and "It's a Girl!" sign in the front yard brought me to tears. What a blessing it has been to be married for 25 years and have five children of my own, all who play an instrument - and help with dishes!

[@janeburkhart4051]

I also am an introvert and I completely agree with Thoreau. I need time alone to recharge even after enjoyable events. When I was a child I was labeled as 'shy' and felt bad about it. As an adult I understand that I've always been an introvert and I embrace it. Thank you for another lovely video, Jennifer. Praying that God is comforting you and your family.

[@kimgordon3695]

Amen 🙏

[@denisebiendarra5996]

Me too

[@ShelleB]

I, too, am an introvert and, at age 62, have learned to accept and embrace that part of myself. I don’t have social anxiety per se, but being around people in a social setting for longer than 2 hours starts to stress me out. I need my alone time to recharge my battery and I’m okay with that.

[@taniacummings9207]

​@@ShelleBSimilar for me. I just feel drained, I can feel the energy being sucked downwards out of me and I can start to feel irritable.

[@cindyamos4588]

I have never been an introvert! However, I work as a waitress, and I now do agree with the Thoreau quote after a day's work (and can now TRULY appreciate the quiet time)! I enjoyed listening to you playing the piano. I wish I still had my piano.

[@jmsl_910]

jennifer, in these crazy days domestically & internationally, your channel is a respite from the crazy. thank you

[@melaniedaniels228]

I couldn't agree more! I've been paying WAY too much attention to politics etc. lately and Jennifer's videos are a reminder that there is beauty in many things, especially the seemingly mundane daily tasks, we just have to find it!

As a fellow introvert, I completely relate to Thoreau’s words. ❤️

[@CFW1]

Same here

[@scotland99]

Ditto. I was raised with a lot of hard work on a farm and there was little time for fun. Whenever I'm around others, after an hour, i want to leave, and go home and scrub floors, etc.

[@amandalynch9567]

I so enjoy time alone. Sadly I am watching this video in the car on a long road trip with my husband and five kids. 😆 How I long for solitude!

[@taniacummings9207]

​@@scotland99Look, you can bring your scrubbing brush to my place and I'll go out and leave you to it. Deal?

[@heatheravery1421]

Hi Jennifer, you have been in my prayers since I saw your check in video. I know you will come through grief though I have no wise words. I wish I could give back all the pleasure and calm I take from your videos over the years. Please know that myself and the others who follow your videos are thinking of you and asking the Lord to hold you close to His heart.

[@sarahburke8955]

Beautiful, cozy, and relaxing... I love these quiet homemaking videos of yours, Jennifer! I also love that you're making time for piano; it harkens back to earlier times when families entertained themselves with music and reading after dinner!

[@Miriam-qb4cr]

I love this moment of mondays. I have a cup of cofee as I watch it, and I adore it. Thank you Jennifer. I hope you feel a little better. Sending hope and hugs 💕

[@kellieliacopoulos8005]

I save my breakfast every Monday to have with Jennifer, right after an hour yoga class...heaven!! :)

[@kimgordon3695]

Us too 🐺🙋💫

[@lynnrosser8620]

I have fond memories of my Dad playing the piano at night, whilst my Mom and we girls did dishes.

[@martybontumasi5058]

And......you are also appreciated, dear Jennifer, more than you will ever know. 🥰

[@reginasemenenko148]

I used to be ashamed of being an introvert, but I've learned to accept it and find the joy in it. Not everyone can be an extrovert and are they actually happier? It's still not cold enough here for our heavy bedding, but maybe in another week or two.

[@christinamo7]

I love the quote. I am also quite introverted, which bemuses those who know me - as I do enjoy the best of company when I am with my friends. I just can't maintain it for a long time! ha. I also have a large family, although grown now.

[@charlavinyard4203]

I, too, learned to appreciate alone time when I found myself single after a longtime marriage, and during that ten years, found it to be recharging and healing. Now that I’m married again, my soul knows I need a balance of family time and alone time. Happy life is always a struggle and a balance, isn’t it? Love your video, Jennifer! ♥️

[@rebeccaaddison9171]

This was very relaxing today. I’ve been cleaning out cabinets and organizing this week while my kids are on their fall break. I’ve been enjoying their little chatter as I clean and listening to all the homemaking sounds too Sometimes it’s good to just enjoy life. 😊

[@brischmick]

Ooh what a treat to hear your beautiful piano playing… I had to go listen through the rest of the Moonlight Sonata after enjoying your start of it! And that version of Walden will be going on my list for Santa. Thanks, as always, Jennifer.

[@luba-healthywithluba6866]

Jennifer, you are such an inspiration. Thank you. Frozen vegetables are such healthy time savers in the kitchen.

[@melaniedaniels228]

I didn't know there even was such a thing as frozen vegetables made for stew! I looked at my online grocery store and sure enough, there they were! 😀 Definitely going to try those out next time I make stew!

[@juliecarns]

Hi Jennifer, Yes, solitaire helps me recharge. In grief of loosing my father, I found being thankful for the shirt time we shared together while he was in hospice along with a lifetime of memories; shifting my focus helped me heal in my grieving process. Sending hugs and prayers, Julie 💐

[@nancyferrier8609]

I call myself a functioning introvert. I enjoy socializing and then sort of hit a wall. If I have a very active social day I usually need to follow up with a quiet day.

[@joannmoon949]

I have been a Beam fan since your first introduction of it. It works for me and I find it is worth the cost to have good sleep.

[@texasstardust6010]

..do you actually need a " Frother " to mix this (?) That seems a shame if so.

[@susan-sn7jg]

I relate to finding time to play the piano. Life is so full which makes it hard to find time for playing, Thanks for a reminder to make the time.

[@sukispencer9804]

Another beautiful and thought provoking video Jennifer! Thank you!

[@ofoneheart5824]

Moonlight Sonata is one of my favorites- very beautiful!

[@madelinekimbro2440]

Fellow introvert 😊loved that quote.

[@lissetsanchez5316]

I love being alone. It is how I recharge. I have a big family (7 siblings) and they don't understand how solitude really helps me. Thank you Jennifer for mentioning it in this video. We have more in common than I thought.

[@valchica7]

The bed looks beautiful and crisp and cozy with the quilt.

[@lionesss06]

Each time I watch your video, the desire to become a housewife/homemaker arises in me. Unfortunately, I'm just a single woman in 40s working and can only dream of this life 😢

[@AddieV1984]

Also, I very much appreciate that you do videos that are not all about specific holidays!! 💕

[@SarahKiel-v3m]

What a treat to watch this cozy video while drinking a cup of tea after a lovely, chilly fall walk! As a fellow introvert, I completely understand Thoreau's words. It's refreshing to hear you say them and makes me feel less alone and a lot less crazy! 😆Sending love to you and your family from Massachusetts. ♥

[@ysk1729]

Ok the words on weariness……😭 thank you!! Much needed message

[@StephenieWith3Es]

“It’s so good for me” (when you were describing playing the piano). I don’t think I’ve ever said that about anything. I am going to ponder on that…💜

[@thepaintedlady7653]

I also used to have the habit of playing piano after dinner as a child. Now I play violin. I completely agree that the focus on the music sweeps you away briefly and is so relaxing.

[@kimberlyitatiharo5888]

I have you and your loved ones in my prayers, Jennifer. You are not alone. Unfortunately hard times are part of living here on earth, but I hope you find some comfort in the community that you have made here, and, of course, in Our Father in Heaven. I think that Thoreau’s words really resonate with me. I think that’s why I feel so overwhelmed when my children are on top of me all day. I love to have moments with myself and God. I don’t have that enough right now that my children are small. But it’s nice to know that it’s not ungratefulness. I love my children and my husband. I don’t take any of it for granted, but I get overwhelmed. Anyways, much love Jennifer. Thank you for the video ❤ Also, I forgot to comment on your recent video of your morning routine that I follow The Bible Recap reading plan. It’s a “read the Bible in a year” reading plan. You download the plan from the YouVersion Bible app and then on KZbin or podcast you listen to the commentary of what you just read. It has changed my life. I hope you try it ❤

[@jjesseeliza0527]

I love your perspective and quote about introverts. I agree with all of it ❤

[@moniquelacroix1706]

What a calming and inspiring video to listen to on a Monday morning! Enjoying a cup of coffee while watching your video, I let myself be taken away in your world. I really like the atmosphere, the world you create in your videos! You have a distinctive style, and I love it! What a good idea to be present to the familiar sounds of homemaking, and trying to enjoy them. I will try it today and see how my attitude can change in order to avoid falling in the negative homemaking traps you talked about in your last video! 😊 I too am an introvert, and I can relate to Thoreau’s quote. I do appreciate and deeply love my friends and family members, but solitude, I must say, is my best friend! Thank you so much for your kind words at the end of the video! You remain in my prayers! Hoping you are feeling better, little by little. Grief is really a process, as you already know! May God’s love accompany you and give you strength! 🙏💕🌸

[@DansonforJoy]

It’s lovely to see that playing the piano is part of your evening routine! 🎶 I relate to being distracted when I try to read! 😆📖

[@mayuvalladolid5429]

Coincidentally this morning I wrote about the city sounds I was hearing just then. Sounds which I decided to listen to kindly as opposed to my usual habit of finding them jarring-drilling, and traffic, and such. An effort to change my mindset as they are inevitable as I’m a city dweller. Later on I ordered a copy of Walden which I found on an instagram image on Feldman’s Bookstore feed! Synchronicity?

[@katiestevenson8920]

[@nancyfelkner9782]

I truly enjoyed this video. I also am an introvert. I welcomed you comments on the subject. I have recently been trying to be better at listening - to my surroundings, others, “dishes, pot, &pans!

Would the coffee with heavy cream and cinnamon be something you can drink before the 8 hour fast starts?

[@agnesdp1855]

Your videos are a breath of fresh air. But I've been wondering for a while, Jennifer, why you are making so much more work for yourself by fully washing the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. You know, the machine that washes the dishes 😉 Anyway, I always enjoy watching one of your videos after work. It helps me unwind before the evening. Hope you are getting all the rest and support you need during these difficult times.

[@ShelleB]

I recently have been reading about dishwashers and the detergents they use and it was recommended that you scrape the dishes and then put them in the dishwasher. Dishwasher detergents have enzymes that are designed to break down the food particles on the dishes. If you pre rinse your dishes it doesn’t give the enzymes anything to do and that can result in etching on glassware. I can understand wanting to get the major particles of food off of your dishes so you aren’t cleaning the dishwasher filter all the time but, yes, rinsing your dishes clean and then putting them in your dishwasher seems like double work.

[@orangejammies6679]

I've thought deeply about this supposed introvert - extrovert divide and it came to me rather suddenly that there's more to this than just personality traits. It's about how we prefer to regulate our nervous system and what brings us back to our ventral state of regulation. For some, it could mean co-regulating with other people, and those people are labeled extroverts. For others, it could mean regulating by themselves, with nature, or with materials like books and music, rather than human company. Those people tend to be labeled introverts. Then there's our different attachment styles to consider. We are really complex creatures, and there's no one "good" or "bad" way to be, although as an extrovert, I have frequently felt like friendship with an introverted person is like pulling teeth. 😝

[@RosieJ7223]

Very good points, I enjoyed your comment. I always feel like I’m bulldozing introverts, so they make me nervous 😂 But I’ve learned that I do need to “tone it down” a little to give others a chance to “tone it up.” It’s hard when two people are on different “wavelengths” about the length of pauses in conversation, right? I also wonder how much people change over time. I’m definitely an extrovert, but I need MUCH more alone time now at 37 than I ever did before. I feel like I have an “inner introvert” now and I never felt like that in my 20s. Humans are curious creatures 😁

[@orangejammies6679]

I hear you! I frequently feel I have to tone it down too. 😁 Now I just "am", and if the vibe works, that's great, if it sends them running for cover, so be it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm not everyone's cup of tea and that's okay!

[@kimgordon3695]

[@laurawolf9613]

🥰

[@candecarro]

At 3:00 I absolutely cannot tolerate video “shorts” that accentuate sounds, in partcular recipes with just cutting, chopping, water running, sizzling, boiling. Natural sounds are nice. But I will turn off the sound or just turn off my phone when a videographer chooses that method. It grates on my psyche. So I won’t be watching any more of this video. However, I typically enjoy your videos.

[@Rositasparks]

You missed a gorgeous video .. too bad for you! ❤

[@sodonewithit4370]

Yup. The sounds lasted just a moment. The rest of the video was just as Jennifer usually makes them. You did miss a good video.

[@marielouiseaxiaq3219]

Yes, unfortunately you did miss an amazingly good video. Also your comment was not kind or classy.

[@candecarro]

@@Rositasparks Thank you. I’ll go back and just skip a bit. I appreciate you mentioning this. I was afraid the rest of the video would just be sounds.

[@candecarro]

Yes, I agree! That was the first time I had recorded my music. I started learning to play during the pandemic. Hopefully I’ve improved. I have no other excuse. I should confine my playing and singing to my own property. Sometimes I play in the park near my house (no singing!) and once a little child (about 6yrs old) came up to me and said, “that’s real pretty.”

[@TG81]

Lovely video! I’m planning to put a duvet on my bed next week as its finally supposed to cool off then. Have a wonderful week! I’m thinking of you all. 🙏🏻
