[@ilovepie314]

I got 14 seconds into the video and I just have to say something: You don't need to apologize for not posting. Jenna used to apologize about things like that all the time and I always wanted to tell her I'm thankful for whatever she shares with the world, no expectations. And I feel the same way for you. Thank you for sharing yourself with us whenever it happens. I'll be glad to see you when I see you.

[@albean3030]

One of the Jenna videos I appreciated the most was when she just took a nap. At that point it was so obvious she was burned out and it was nice to see her partially stop stressing about content for that week, even though she sadly still felt the pressure to upload something.

There’s probably something to be said for his access to gluten free and vegan items based on location, you’re doing the best you can!

[@gabbyyak2080]

@emilyburney2224 Even in my hometown of less than 1000 people in the middle of absolutely nowhere, there is access to gluten free items. If you have Celiac for real, you need to stay away from it, not just "do your best." Your life literally depends on it. Celiac Disease can kill you if you don't stay away from gluten.

Hi Julian! this is just a little message to say thank you for always making videos that make me smile (as well as Jenna’s old content of course, I hope she’s well ❤️) I start watching Jenna’s videos about 6 years ago which then led me to yours. I live in Australia and I’m 23 now, but both of your videos have always felt like a big hug, they’ve made me laugh and been a source of comfort through high school, break ups and this week I submitted my last assignment of my university degree, i was so stressed that I went back and have been watching old videos to help me sleep. Watching your content has always come in waves of when I need it most but it’s always been there through so many stages of my life. So I just wanted to say thank you to the both of you for being you, and I’m sure you’ll continue to help me through so many things to come ❤️

If you think about it, a sieve is just something that strains out the things you dont want but keeps all the things you do want. So really calling you a sieve isnt an insult.

Julien. Celiac here. I've used those tortillas often, so 2 things: 1) it helps to get them slightly wet before you cook them. Like if you have a very misty spray bottle or I just get my hand a little wet & rub it on a little on one side. It's way better; and 2) the size seems awkward but since they break a bit easier then the gluten tortillas you want a little wiggle room. I also don't mind a white corn soft tortilla.
