vlog // decluttering, new makeup play-time, pregnancy updates!

[@jjennyj77]

Would love to see a video of “products I use every day” like how you talked about the eyelash separater. Could be makeup or random things that you find yourself using every day! Could be a fun video

[@Dragonflyathena]

Second this.

[@robinborgione8707]

Super important question: has Tyler started hoarding beans yet?! 🤣🥫🥫🥫🥫

[@alicewilliams____]

This 😂

[@krysdf]

The beans.. Biggest first/sec trimester craving when I was peegnant with my daughter! Bet your having a girl.. ;)

[@KAH211]

Came to the comments to ask the same thing!! 😂

[@DocfayeZA]

What about frozen meatloaf? 🤭

[@marylouconnolly9628]

[@meganbell1316]

I always think it's funny when KZbinrs are surprised that people finish their videos. I literally always finish videos by my regular KZbinrs.

[@karennicholson4167]

I feel like we are friends, too! You are just so "real" and relatable. I have been praying for you all and love watching your videos giving life updates. All the best to the Braun Family!!!

[@alliemay6076]

I love vlogs like this where it’s spread over a few days, and it’s just random clips of real life stuff. It always seems like forced than day in the life type vlogs

[@pinky7400]

When you said your daughter was 3 and a half my jaw dropped... I can't believe how long I've been watching your videos. ❤❤

[@mommasglamtoo]

Same! My daughter is now 6 and I’ve seen my kids and the KZbinrs I follow have their babies and now having their second baby.

[@suzinaccache]

Same!!!!

[@mackenziesanssouci9840]

PLEASE!! use distilled water or boiled tap water for the sinus rinse. My husband got a terrible sinus infection from using well water doing that. He had to have surgery to clear it up.

[@noraclaire14]

Yes and let's not forget those poor people in Louisiana several years back that died from using tap water that wasn't boiled in their sinus rinses. The bacteria ate...their brain. 😳

[@mackenziesanssouci9840]

@@noraclaire14 absolutely true and terrifying

[@karlysalad5280]

@@noraclaire14 OMG!!!!!!! I knew you had to use distilled but .... wow

[@amandabrennan8291]

It means a lot that you are open about pregnancy struggles too. My son is about Gigi's age, and my pregnancy was AWFUL (in and out of the hospital, preeclampsia, was touch and go for a while, he was premature, had postpartum as well, but we are all good now). I think it's so important to be real about parenthood; it's REAL, not all rainbows and unicorns, but if course it's rewarding as well. I would love to see you do a reflection video of one of your older videos when you talked about your pregnancy and reflect on how you felt then and how you feel now. Thank you for being you☺️

[@DidasRoom]

Be gentle on yourself. We’re always organizing, cleaning having so much to do. Take some time to just enjoy your growing baby and be in the moment. All the things will get done ✔️ congratulations 😍

[@asmrsue2440]

The room behind you isn’t messy, it’s real and I’m sure a lot of us appreciate that, rather than the always on point room, we all have days like that..

[@KendraClendineng]

For those who want the Doona car seat/ stroller but can’t get it because of price the Chicco car seat and Caddy car seat stroller frame is really a good substitute. The caddy isn’t as large as a stroller (since it’s only meant for the car seat and just clicks in) and it’s only 11 lbs. I use it for doctor visits and quick trips all the time!

[@KendraClendineng]

Also, I’ve used it for all 3 of my kids and it has held up really well!

[@jessicaarteaga6985]

5 kids 8 and under and I have severe chronic pain. My mantra is “it always seems impossible until it’s done.” It’s so true and you will get it done and be on the other side of it with a new tiny soon! 💗

[@Mrsnataliedeleon]

“I wasn’t talking to you honey” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jessica makes me literally lol 🥰

[@Michelle-il2cf]

I am so happy for you to be adding to your family!! We have been dealing with infertility for years, and I'm so excited to experience what you're experiencing, I learn a lot through videos like this about what (might hopefully) come for us

[@whitajeman]

Remember not everything has to be done before baby arrives! The first weeks at home can be so overwhelming that it can be nice to have little projects to give yourself a second purpose other than newborn schedule. And not sure how close your sisters live but one of my gifts to my sisters and SIL is to help organize all the baby closets, dressers etc. Its my favorite and they have all asked me to do it again on their 2nd, 3rd etc babies.

[@Sadimc_beauty]

I could not relate to this vlog more! Felt like I was catching up with another mom friend. So great to have you be so real and honest about busy parenthood Jess! You got this 👍🏻

[@chiknlittle]

I ran my first marathon on Oct 31st and I’m so proud hearing you talk about Tyler doing it! Congrats to Tyler!

[@moniquetibble2309]

I love the L’Oréal foundation with a brush first and then use a sponge. I find I get the coverage I want then the sponge blends it in for a smoother appearance.

[@hannah66612]

no jess, we’re definitely friends! i’ve been following you for years…like since you were sitting on the floor in your parents house LOL. wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy and delivery ❤️

[@perfectlypriced4980]

I agree with comments saying we do feel like your “friends” too. When I am referencing a video of yours I sometimes call you my friend out of conversational habit and correct it to “a KZbinr I follow”. We have a 2yo girl and you’re in my prayers for women I know who are expecting and ones who are TTC. Love sharing the journey. We also can’t get through winter without saline nasal rinse either! Hope the camping is/was a blast!

[@jiuzgirlbeauty619]

Been super sick all night, and this video was up next. I've already seen it, and thought I'd find something else. Then when I was looking for something else, I realized I just needed some Jessica positivity. Thank you for being amazing and calming and entertaining and lovely. So happy for this new adventure!

[@oliviagulino8309]

The teacher and Sicilian in me feels compelled to tell you that spaghetti and meatballs is actually an American invention!

[@melaniebillings4190]

That Doona was the best purchase we made. Our second daughter is now using it. It lasted us about a year before our first outgrew ir. It is so handy. I would recommend getting the sun shade and storage bag for it. They sell off brand ones if you don’t want to spend as much. You have to remove the storage bag prior to collapsing the stroller, but it’s super easy.

[@jessicasopolis3904]

Huge neti pot addict here! I love the original pot format n i have a beautiful ceramic pot too! Looks like a work of art . haven't had a sinus infection in over a decade! Love you, Jess!

[@betsybabf748]

I had a space between pregnancies #3 & #4. I was working in a corporate office with #4 so spent a fortune in maternity clothing. When he was 2 months, we had pregnancy #5, which we planned, but we didn't plan twins. With that surprise, I left my job so needed all new maternity clothes since I wasn't going to wear business suits at home. I bought a lot of casual stuff, then because they were twins, unexpectedly my belly outgrew it all by 6 months so needed a 3rd maternity purchasing spree in a year. I had lots of maternity hand-me-downs to give to friends.

[@jacquelynwarmbir1006]

Omg your outro music….. my heart just fluttered and it felt like CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎅🤶🎁

[@brittanyschulman2609]

I had my daughter in 2016 and my son in 2018. And my cousin had her baby in 2020. The upgrades and differences in what gadgets and gizmos, even in that short amount of time, is mindblowing. I love the zip up zip down jammies and there were so few for my kids, but I was able to find so many for my cousin. They were a game changer for sure.

[@sheilanelson7057]

I bet you can't believe our age difference i'm 72 and I don't know how old you are. I love to watch you every day. Thank you for being on you tube I love your family and Tyler and of course we can't forget Genavea. Bless all of you

[@angelablack7946]

I completely understand why you waited on sharing your pregnancy. I went through two miscarriages 17 years ago, but as soon as I found out I was pregnant with my oldest daughter I shared immediately. I just knew I would be able to keep the pregnancy. I did the same with her sister as well.

[@hollz77]

Nasal rinses are life. They’re the only way I don’t have multiple sinus infections every winter. Apparently they’re super common in new mums!

[@rachelelwin450]

So nice to ‘know’ you Jessica. You are a REAL person and that is refreshing in amongst so much fake noise, false facial features and even worse, put on personality for the camera. Much appreciated.

[@airwavesintheair]

You are totally my friend, Jess! But also like a sage older sister who has a lot of knowledge that's hard to find in my everyday life. Love you!

[@itsinhercode]

On top of sinus sprays, to help with sinus pressure and drainage while I'm in a hot bath I'll massage my nose area, neck, and chest. I'll cough along the way and actually feel the drainage and clear up, kind of gross however so relieving!

[@cccook1037]

The neti pot/nasal rinse is an essential for me. In over 15 years I have only had one sinus infection because of this! I had an allergy situation once after gardening and went inside to use this and you would not believe the dirt coming out! A true lifesaver product. I know you have to do exact or water actually gets up in your head/brain, but do it correctly and do it often!

[@NatalieYTFoster]

Currently 32 weeks pregnant with my second and love that we are both on our 2nd pregnancy journey together. I have forgotten everything from my first pregnancy so you are no alone!

[@staysta13]

I use the stila highlighter as a eyeshadow topper…like the makeup by Mario that you like! I do that with any highlighter that I feel is too glittery to elevate my eye look!

[@morggylynn]

I used that pore minimizer primer from smashbox since 2018.. the only primer I had open and it's finally going to be done here in the next week. So I hope you love it and you'll get a ton of use out of it!

[@shawnabbeautiful6771]

Awww. You are sooo sweet. Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us. The caring and sharing is real. Again, thanks a bunch!

[@lorrainefoster7000]

I'm done having kids, but I still love to listen to other people's pregnancy stories!

[@marianneharms5836]

That Smashbox pore minimizer primer is my holy grail!! I buy the mini size because I use such a small amount!

[@abriellemistretta]

When you said “I wish you guys could try this” I was so excited cause I have that HelloFresh meal in my fridge right now!! Gonna have it for dinner tomorrow! Xoxo

Looking forward to the pregnancy update video. I watch as many videos as I can look forward to them actually. I pray for a healthy pregnancy and baby.

[@dconway5166]

Had you in this morning and my toddler says “is she talking to us?” Sorta but it’s not live Toddler ignores me and starts talking to you in the tv A testament to how good you are at talking to the viewer through the camera.

[@emmaliz5484]

I’ve been watching you since you and Tyler were only dating. It’s been so fun to watch your life journey from then to now. Second baby, personal growth and the beautiful life you both have built.

[@AlaaMohamed-jw1gf]

OMG when you said 3.5 years ago I just realized I’ve started watching your videos way before pregnant with Gigi , before I actually moved to the states , man time does fly, I hope you have a healthy pregnancy this time and to have a healthy beautiful baby

[@madisonwise5483]

I tried the loreal serum foundation on my oily skin and let me tell you, i love it!!! I have been using it every day for a month! It has become my favorite “foundation” of all time! But the skin prep before hand is definitely important before using this product! But, to me, it has been life changing!!!!

[@DanielleAmelia]

Thank you for sharing getting overwhelmed with things to do. I have been the same lately. I’m 24 weeks 5 days. Last week I ended up having my first panic attack in years. I know I have time and have since managed to clear half my to do list but it still feels like you’ll never get it all done.

[@oldernotinvisable5505]

Having had “issues” during my second pregnancy that I’m still not over, I fully understand waiting to announce your happy news.

[@TheBandmom4ever]

I think it’s so great that you are comfortable sharing your life with all of us. I found you before you had your first, like you were still in your apartment.

[@debrairvin9776]

I’m so glad you’re feeling well. Enjoy this special time. You’re bringing back memories. My son and daughter are almost exactly 4 years apart. I remember moving my sons room etc… it was so much work but now it seems as if it went by in a flash. Congratulations!! 💗

[@jessicadraper645]

Girl we are totally friends!! That doesn’t sound weird at all! I definitely feel like I know you through your videos and I always look forward to them! Hope you have a safe and smooth pregnancy!! 💞💞

[@ashl3yth0mas]

If you’re wanting a good pair of jeans that you can wear during pregnancy AND after I highly recommend looking into the brand Democracy! I wear a size 6 normally and I am 23 weeks pregnant with twins and I can still wear them! They have a button and zipper but the front is stretchy at the same time lol they’re amazing!!!

[@LivyRivy]

Ok I have really bad PMS rn and the part with you saying hi to Tyler during the marathon made me cry lol. Love you guys!! ❤️ Also yes I feel like we're friends too!

[@ceciliagonzalez605]

When casual or pj pants I wear are long, I pinch some of the hem area into kind of a mini fabric ponytail and fasten them with a ponytail rubber band enough to lift the length...Pinch and fasten...it works great!

[@tinayoes6505]

Jess there is no way to explain how much we love you!!!

[@mokachick]

Loved this video! I found you when Gigi was around 2 years old so I'm excited that I can come along with you on your pregnancy journey this time round! You seem to be doing great with your preparations! 😍❤️

[@jennifershank5622]

You have that pregnancy glow ☺☺☺ and I'm here for the entire ride!! I can imagine what Gigi thinks about being a big sister 💗💙💗💙💗

Oh my gosh Jess thank you for the Neil med thing! I was just thinking my poor nose is struggling!!

[@Lovesmakeup4772]

I love the Smashbox oil and shine control primer with my oily skin. It is the only primer I use in the summer.

You’re just absolutely stunning. Inside and out. I’ve been watching you for years and you continue to flourish. Congrats on baby #2! I can’t wait to be along for the journey!

I tried it with a cushion sponge like the ones that come with cushion foundations and it was beautiful! I sprayed the cushion maybe once or twice and went in to apply, got the nicest coverage and it looked beautiful on my skin!

[@baileyacord-becker9150]

My brother is just shy of 4 years older than me and it’s perfect. We’ve been best friends (when we weren’t trying to kill each other as kids 😂) our whole lives and I’m so thankful. I love that your kids will have that too!

[@maryjean9236]

I love your vlogs. We truly do care about you and your family. 🌸

[@Saxophrenic25]

Watching you explain about the stroller made me laugh because I bought a cat stroller over the summer (I wanted to do some enrichment for my cats and get myself out of the house for walks as well), and the one I picked, I picked for the same reasons you picked yours. It can be a normal stroller, but the area where the cat goes can come off and be a regular carrier. It can also convert into a backpack, a car carrier, and it came with an apparatus so you can pull the carrier along like a piece of luggage. My cats are my babies

[@dizzlecookie]

It's crazy to me that I've been watching your videos for so many years! I remember before Genevieve, then you had her, then I had my baby girl this January. And now baby number two is coming and I'm so excited for y'all!!! I totally felt like one of my besties told me she's expecting, I knew what was happening as soon as I saw the thumbnail. How time flies! Congratulations again! 🎉💞

[@sandybeach9903]

These are my favorite videos. I always get that warm cozy feeling when I watch them 🥰🥰

[@gabriellanisselius9692]

Hello fresh would be such a great gift for someone that just had a baby too! It’s so hard to shop and cook long meals after delivering.

[@krysdf]

I'm always more active during the day when I take the time to get ready with makeup and everything.. And I find I wanna get out the house more as well!

[@panini4200]

Please make sure you use distilled water in the nasal rinse!!! There can be amoebas that live in other filtered waters and can get into your sinus cavity. I used to use a Neti pot about 10 years ago when someone died from the amoebas and then people kinda stopped doing nasal rinses. Now they're becoming more popular and I've been seeing a lot of people using them, just please make sure it's distilled water. The odds are so low but it's not worth the risk. I'm also not trying to assume that you're not using distilled water but since it wasn't explicitly said I wanna make sure you know 💜

[@nancyramos2327]

I love applying the Loreal with my fingers. One side at a time. Goes on great that way!

[@YukinoMayazawa]

Apparently that foundation is the same as the giorgio armani luminous silk foundation! Like same formula and everything! I haven't tried, so I can't tell for sure, but it makes sense bc l'oreal owns both

[@RAE.ofSunshine]

[@fridacontreras2780]

I’m so excited for you guys! I’m also due in April (first pregnancy) and I totally understand you, I only told my parents I was expecting and I didn’t wanna tell nobody else because I know the first trimester can be a little risky and I definitely felt guilty not telling the rest of my family, but the secret is finally out! Lol I’m now 19 weeks with our baby girl! 💗

[@ariasaless3679]

OMG I just bought the Charlotte tilbury mascara and I’m so obsessed with it it literally looks like false lashes and totally gives a liner illusion!!

[@jenniferhernandez7084]

I ordered a pump from Amazon for the L’Oréal serum foundation. So much easier and not as messy.

[@EvePavlova]

That Celine solution that you once recommended - I picked up and it is a lifesaver for me. Especially in seasonal allergy season and winter, when my nose gets super dry. But I also tried the one that you mentioned in this video a while back and that stuff actually really works. It’s pretty nasty and uncomfortable to use at first but it is really affective. Thank you for talking about day-to-day stuff like this it’s actually very helpful. Love your videos.

[@Tbabyy29]

If you haven't found Sarah Lavonne here on KZbin, you need to! She is the best pregnancy/doula/birth coach KZbin EVER! 10/10 recommend. I still watch her videos occasionally and my kid is 16 months 🤣

Feel like we're friends?? Definitely NOT weird at all, because we ARE friends!! (For me even more than that because of how much you remind me of my actual sister, but I've told you that before). I truly love how open you are about your life, your family, your good days, your bad days... I can never click fast enough when you or Taylor Wynn make a video! I have a pretty short list of KZbin "favorites" and you are definitely on it, my friend!

[@stephb3321]

The Neil Med sinus rinses have literally prevented me from countless sinus infections, I’m not kidding. I used to do them twice a day, but I only need to do a rinse once a day. They are so effective, if you can get past the weird water-up-the-nose feeling. 😁
