Let's catch uppppp, Team Long Form! ❤❤ Also, don't forget to turn on the subtitles in case you're hard of hearing or if you just like knowing every word that's uttered. LOL!

[@rizkirahmadania]

I LOVE THAT YOU PUT THE SUBTITLE❤❤ thank you jen, i learned English better because of u!!

[@Dino13]

Thank you for including subtitles! My adhd makes it really hard to focus on videos when they don't have captions. I love creators that go the extra step for accessibility 💖

[@niamhwatson]

11:09 omg, what happened to Anna's and Jesse's channel, I used to watch them all the time, do they still do youtube?

[@carleencastro1957]

i hate the ads they create suspense

[@cyberbacon9023]

Please continue to make long form content!! I really appreciate you sticking around. I listen to you while I'm eating, while I'm folding laundry etc! I honestly think if you and Ben decide to create your own podcast, you guys would be successful at it.

[@imjennim]

I appreciate YOU sticking around. Long form content will always be my favorite to create and watch!

[@potatoesandtomatoes6817]

Yes me too pls continue to make long form content!!!

[@maffcia4121]

I second the motion! 😁 If this podcast exist, i won't miss an episode. 🙏

[@robyn8221]

I prefer long form content. Your vlogs are a pleasure to watch and I love the way you look at life.

[@danyanghou1935]

Yes!!! I’ve been following Jenn for 8 years. Watching her videos is like a part of my life. ❤❤❤I’m absolutely an introverted, but Jenn is this friend that I can always check on whenever and genuinely enjoy the online hangout time😁😁

[@Wra8h]

Please never stop long form. Short form is when you're doom scrolling, long form when you're actually present and enjoying the content. They are not nearly the same.

[@EllieHawkes]

Yes that’s such a good way of putting it! Exactly. Long form I’m actually watching! Short form is totally doom scrolling vibes, yuck

[@arriannamartin2317]

so true!

[@danie6247]

the way youve both worked out how to enjoy travel while supporting each other solo travel is so smart and heart warming!

[@seanjenson5784]

It's great but it's not easy to do without money (i.e. to pay for a nanny)

[@imjennim]

Aww thank you! I feel incredibly blessed!

[@rmmr1168]

Amen to speaking on “mom guilt”, loved the points that you made. I once heard a child psychologist say “It is better to be away from your child for 2 hours to come home and spend 1 hour, or even 30 minutes, with them totally mindfully instead of 3 hours feeling depleted.”

[@imjennim]

Ooof, I completely agree with that sentiment.

[@tUiDo4]

Jenn in all the years I've been a subscriber to you, I LOVE this version of you most. I'm now 28 and the idea of my twenties coming to an end an a new era of my 30's soon to begin in 2yrs I'm anxious for it, but also excited for it because of YOU. You've took this negative stigma of getting older, tossed it out, and said "It's a blessing to get older and wiser, but it doesn't mean you have to take your youth away from all of who you are"!🙏🏼👏🏼💪🏼 You've gotten so much MORE chic, beautiful, wise, and calm❤ You've always been such an amazing inspiration to me. I love your videos, PLEASE don't EVER stop making long form content. I love my 15+ minute long videos with you😭👍🏻

[@moonshinershonor202]

Hello fellow 28 year old here, 🤠 it is a positive thing to be wiser due to our age and we are blessed for it. I got my old strength, decades of conditioning, going for me and I find myself enjoying being a bit more experienced more oft than not. Not to mention the 2000s were lit for us younguns!

[@moonrise987]

i absolutely love your long form content!!! I AM LIVING FOR IT. i especially love your sit down conversations - you are such an insightful, enlightening human being

[@imjennim]

Eeep! I'm so happy you love it because I love creating it! ❤

[@bridgetmorrissey1026]

$50 for eyebrows at home is definitely a luxury! If you go to your local salon, you can normally get a wax for between $8-12 (depending on your location) + a few dollars for a tip :)

[@alixcervantes3495]

I have been watching you since I was 14, I’m now 26! I love hearing how your perspectives and outlook on everything has changed as you’ve grown and love seeing that in your 30’s you’re still having as much fun if not more! keep on the long form content! 🫶🫶

[@MaryLeighLear]

I've been watching her since I was 16 and I'm 29!!! Jenn gang forever

[@KH-rn3yp]

I’ve only started not drinking alcohol at events for the first time in 14 years because I was preparing for getting pregnant, and now I am with child! It’s been really interesting being sober around everyone else who’s drunk or tipsy at events and clubbing - and I’ve surprised myself with managing to still enjoy myself all the way until the end of the night, and feeling amazing the next morning by just feeling tired but not feeling hungover or anxious!! No one noticed at all that I wasn’t drinking, and I remember everything that happened in the night… it’s a new way of life, and I’m here living for it!

[@lori_li]

There’s usually a moment in a video that compels me to like it- in this one it’s at 4:43 when she triumphantly celebrates her finished outfit- soooo freaking cute!!

[@residabiba]

I don't have the time to watch your videos as soon as they are released, but I make sure I always watch every single one of them. You Jenn are one of the fewest that I continiously follow for years now, because you've showed so much dimension of yourself , your authenticity and you are a real one. Love you and please keep on going cause we need spirits like you ❤

[@cy24]

You hit the nail on the head in regards to mom guilt. People are so quick to judge and mom shame others and yet think it's ok to do it. As a mom myself, I agree with you that we need our me time to recharge ourselves and be present for our child, husband and others.

[@JOY-gv2uq]

Jen, absolutely GOOD to hear you talk about abstaining from alcohol and the reasons behind your decision. So appreciate you sharing your honesty. Thanks.

[@tiachu]

your videos are alwaysss a breath of fresh air, I’ve grown up watching you and it’s always like watching a big sister!!! 💗💗💗

[@imjennim]

Eep! Thank you so much, Tia! I never grew up with sisters, so it's sweet to have this community! n_n

[@martufg]

Jenn ive been watching you for almost 9 years and I hope you create any form of content as long as you want! You’re always inspiring 🫶🏻

[@imjennim]

WOW! We're coming to our 10 year anniversary soon! Hahaha! x

[@Xtine728]

You’re like the big sister I’ve never had. Thank you for continuing to make these long form videos.

[@aminated7027]

On the eyebrows, I learned how to pluck them myself and it's fantastic. No extra cost except for tweezers and eyebrow scissors, and you have very fine control over the exact shape you want them to be. Also very therapeutic to do!

[@jenniferkawaguchi4310]

Jenn, after watching you for what seems like.. 10 or so years now? I've looooved the evolution and growth over the past decade of your videos (content and form!) and continuing to live my life alongside you sharing yours.

[@zomgeleana]

Long form content is my fave! I love hearing people talk for a while it gives me time to really think about what they are saying and reflect. Much love from FL!! 🫶🏽

[@93dscdsc]

Hi Jenn! You just reminded me that we all go through seasons, and seeing and hearing you saying that you are flourishing is wonderful! God bless!

[@chelseaajoyy]

I’ve been watching you since the clothesencounters days and whether if it’s short form or long form videos, I’ve always looked forward to watch whatever pops up on your channel! I’ve loved and have been inspired watching you grow as a person Jenn! Your talking bits in your videos are so good, you are so intelligent and have such a way with words! ❤️You are so relatable in many ways and thank you for always staying true to yourself! You are one of my favorite OG KZbinrs ❤️😂

[@diary.of.Marusia]

In my experience sobriety was very hard, since I’m a very socially awkward to say at least, I was using alcohol to fit in. I was never a life of a party sober, but I surely was one under the influence and I liked it. I felt safe and maybe a little less judged in my mind for talking louder and being passionate. I’m now redefining myself and for some odd (for me) reason people are way more likely to befriend me, I finally see the light after years and years of pretty much solo life with no real friendships. I was’t alone drinking, but I sure was super lonely, anxious and terrified of sober talk. And, Jenn, thank you for being my comfort person😌 much love from Russia

[@TheCiamarie]

Over a year zero proof over here. For me, it's been a radical act of self love ❤️

[@imjennim]

Wow! Congratulations!! I love that for you! n_n

[@hannahcomia]

thank you for being open with your journey with sobriety. i'm about to hit 1 year without alcohol and i've thought a lot about the things you mentioned, especially about how I view my sober self and loving that version of me in social situations.

[@fengyaxin8259]

Gosh my dear Jenn You can't understand my eager to see your update and my euphorism whenever I really do see you updating! I love your longer content but probably just you because I feel like I am connected to you emotionally. I've watched and witnessed your progress which actually reassures me that my life will always turn out for the better. Please don't ditch this channel cause I look forward to meeting my dear Jenn every week. You can make up my day or thr whole week. I love you my friend

[@georgiejanee]

I hope long form is still in the future for you, I don't think I'll survive without your long videos to inspire me and enlighten me 😭❤

[@mslynnchen]

JENN! 1. Your brows look great as is (I gave up on threading/waxing a while ago after years of having them done professionally - my 2 cents) 2. Pins!!!! So smart for flair! 3. It was so great to meet you in person at Bobby's party. I'm beyond thrilled I made the party footage (I look nuts) and I've been sober for over two decades so I just drank Diet Coke too 4. I've been wanting to see that Keith Haring exhibit (I grew up during the AIDS epidemic in the 80's) and cannot believe you went out after that party. STAMINA. 5. I have the same tripod! 6. Please don't stop making long form content. You're one of the few I've watched this long.

[@imjennim]

Aww it was lovely meeting you too, Lynn!! I love that we were both on that Diet Coke wave. Hahahah! I hope to see you around soon! n_n ❤

[@clow3214]

You are so well spoken Jen! Thank you for always sharing your thoughts. You speak what our minds are thinking, but in such a profound and detailed manner. I'm sure the podcasts and reading has helped with this! I also love those thrifted jeans! The colour and denim print to the rip and cut type is so perfect on you! You are right that proportions mean everything in fashion!

[@NiolaVianni]

I love how you are so eloquent in expressing your thoughts and ideas. I wish I can be like you more. You are really an inspiration 💓

[@graciaaaaaa]

Jenn, i am always loving your vlogs! I really find comfort and joy watching them ❤️ thank you for letting us be part of your life!! ✌🏼

[@imjennim]

Thank you so much for watching, Gracia! ❤❤

[@LiuMelendez]

Jenn I’ve been watching you for years and you have always been an inspiration for me, it really amazes me how organize and disciplined you are.. I mean even with having a kid it looks like you have so much time and can do everything! You’re amazing 🤍 I’d really love to see a video about time management or how do you organize your daily life in general. Lots of love 💌

[@R0CK0Nbaby]

Whatever type of content you decide to do, I have no doubt it'll be phenomenal! You're such a creative genius and I hope you don't shy away from being experimental with whatever you do b/c you're always upleveling in what you do and expanding yourself ^_^ What I love most about your long form is that there's always a cohesion to your vlogs, as random as all the clips may seem, somehow you're able to tie it all together to give a beautiful life lesson and/or inspiring message, which I really admire about you! I have no doubt you're a fantastic mom and I hope you never let anyone make you think differently. Love you Jenn and fam

[@imjennim]

Aww shucksss! This is such a sweet comment. T__T My heart feels so full!

[@dianagutierrez9113]

I love you for not giving up long term content. I have been watching you for so long now. And you bring me so much comfort and joy. Love you so much.

[@Chemoni7090]

Jenn, thank you always for sharing your thoughts. It’s very important topics we have been facing and struggling with. I remember when you found you were pregnant and crying saying that you don’t know whether or not you can love your child and become a good mum. At that time, your news made me think about lots of my life and I went for 10km running for a while. But I knew you would go through any your life stages strongly. I’m 31 and single, we’re in amazing and lovely 30s. With my all heart Jenn❤

[@sdmajesty]

ill forever love long form content. thank you Jenn!

[@imjennim]

Me toooO! ❤

[@user-vu2vk4up6u]

Oh Jenn I learned a lot and a lot from you 😊 I feel grateful for your existence ❤ Thank you

[@EllieHawkes]

Never stop doing long form Jen! It’s the best! ❤

[@gabrielarodrigues7455]

Still my favorite channel, over 10 years later. Thanks for the great content Jenn 😘

[@ClassyAddiction]

Another great video Jenn 💕 I love the part about sharing your thoughts about alcohol and how you are spreading awareness about its effects.

[@Maiseevang]

Those jacket pins just wraps the whole look!! Now, I’m going to keep and eye out for pins!

[@user-pn9td6rn8p]

Hi Jenn! I cant say how much I love your videos. they are so comforting

[@krystalx214]

can consider investing in EYEBROW EMBROIDERY instead, Jenn!! omo it's more worth it than to wax monthly cuz u just have to pay a lump sum n it can last at least a year! ofc u gotta do annual touch-up to maintain ur embroidered brows, but u'll no longer have to spend time drawing them in the mornings nor worry about overplucking anymore!❤ i did it and it's like life changing, beb😍 my facial features look accentuated even without any makeup~~ i did the korean misty eyebrow embroidery for asian ladies which is quite natural~

[@puruen]

Thanks for talking about mom guilt. These are the bits of reality that really help me know im not alone. Jenn ur experiences and sharing is so helpful to everyone who watches your channel. ❤

[@aileen_lai]

this video feels like a summer breeze in LA afternoon :) Aesthetic and theraputic. I love your social tips and thoughs on being human, simply. Thanks for sharing and express your love to LA which makes me appreciate more about living here🥰

[@amandacheung31]

I noticed one one of the NewJeans members wore the black birthday cake minidress in their music video for their song ETA. I was like omg, I know I've seen that on Jen's channel!! So funny how a whimsical cool mom/birthday party outfit could be the perfect outfit for a Gen Z music video 😆Thanks for sharing your haul with us!

[@marisapanzarella1777]

Jen, I've been absolutelyLOVING your outfits in your vlogs as a of late. The whole reason I started following you almost 10 years ago

[@heidiho23]

You're such a seasoned vlogger Jenn. Always time well spent on your channel!

[@xoxsiemee]

i love your long form videos!!! ❤️ the topics discussed and the edits all mesh will together and i enjoy it a lot.

[@iheartjunkfood]

Long live long form content!!!! Love the way your storytelling is evolving Jenn!!!!

[@adventuresofmissrao]

Jenn's videos brighten my day! 💗

[@MeziahRuby]

I am so happy that you continue to share your life with us in long form content 💖💖💖

[@maizerelli]

Friday mornings are my favorite because of your videos!

[@imjennim]

Thank you for joining me this Friday! n_n

[@mandychin]

Always love to see you talk about Radom stuff in your life❤ every type of guilt is really just what we put in our own head

[@imjennim]

Exactly! Thanks Mandy! x

[@soccerbabez45]

I personally never drink (never have either), but I’ve never felt like I didn’t get the most out of my fun at social events and parties! It’s a great great feeling to go out have fun and not feel the need to drink and have hangovers. I’m really glad you’re enjoying this lifestyle too!! All the best to you ❤

[@alexmcginness8859]

Always happy when you post. I’m a long form girlie too and will always support my long form queens!

[@funkychilli7086]

Your channel is literally so calming, ill be binge watching all the videos right from the beginning this summer n liking every one of them ofc

[@schiziotic]

I love that idea of adding pins. I've been thinking of doing patches but can't make the commitment but it also takes more effort. Thank you for that idea. I love your sense of fashion and that its still in you. You're so good at it!

[@imjennim]

Yes! You can start a pin collection! Heheh!

[@adriennehilll]

Omg your sobriety chat!!! I made the choice to stop drinking (for the foreseeable future) just over a week ago. A week sober sounds silly for me to say but i went from drinking every weekend and a few times a week to none at all, and it feels so different but in the best way possible now. “Hangxiety” is exactly what i had!!! Sooo much anxiety the night before worrying about my future hangover. I loved your little chat about how you manage to have a great time without it. Soooo happy for you and your journey Jenn ❤

[@kimaguregu2487]

I’ve been watching your channel for about a decade now and one of the only channel I’ve been following this long! I feel like I can always look up to you because you never stop growing as a person and I feel like I can grow with yoi❤

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

YESSS! It's always a good day when Jenn uploads a new video 😄❤

[@nadeska816]

I don’t always have the time to watch your videos when you upload them but when I do I watch several in a row. It’s like a little treat to myself ☺️ loved the long format btw

[@iz3297]

So refreshing to hear your thoughts on alcohol-free-curiosity! And always absolutely enjoy your vlogs so thank you 💟

[@leebeks]

Your communication, storytelling, and processing flows sooo well - I hope you write a book someday! I feel like it would be a wonderful/relatable read!

[@babiioffgun1835]

Thank you so much for talking time to do this videos, love you

[@maia-roll]

Omg Jenn I can’t believe you’ve never had your brows professionally done until recently! I was in the same boat but at 23 years old decided to get mine waxed and I literally showed my lady photos of you saying I wanted brows like you do!! Loved watching your video as always. I really enjoy your long form videos and have for years. Wishing you all the best! 😊

[@crazybotches236]

jenn i would love to see a whole video about all the self-care/beauty things you do!! Like your teeth, facials etc!

[@katelee1782]

Jennn can you please do an update on your makeup routine? I love how flawless, youthful and natural it looks! xoxo

[@celinepope]

Hope you're doing well, Jenn. Been doing summer classes for a degree in environmental science and let me say.. it's rough. Spent the morning doing chores I rarely fall behind on but have from classes. Thanks for the video to keep me company!

[@imjennim]

Let me just say how proud I am of you for studying environmental science! You got this!

[@reneerolls]

I love your long form content! It makes me so happy 🥰

[@kariannajohnson1985]

Love you Jen!! I have had a weird relationship with alcohol most of my 20s and early 30s now (we're the same age! :) ) Thank you for this safe space to speak on this and normalizing sober evenings that are incredibly fun! xoxo

[@natlovesjb143]

i love your long form content! it's so much more enjoyable to watch long form when the creator makes it interesting like you do. it seems like some people stick to short form because they don't know how to make long form content creative and exciting anymore

[@alicebubest]

loving them new browssss

[@ajuu5573]

I love this Jenn! Missed watching you ❤ but also, LONG FORM still

[@bymillie]

Your vlogs are some of the best! The editing and content is just amazing and so wholesome 🥰❤

[@rei__tv]

Wow. I watched this video in its entirety. Very entertaining. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@dorothytran2926]

That outfit you put together is SO CUTE. Omg been watching your vids since your college days and I love your style.

[@LuciaOrnelas]

You are so inspiring ❤ I love your chats too!

[@carolynchen317]

love the long form content! really appreciate you sticking to it; i've really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on everything as you grow :)

[@imjennim]

Aww thanks Carolyn! n_n

[@binasaur3221]

I'm living for these longer vlogs Jen

[@deeb8733]

Love the long vlogs only!!!! I so relate to your alcohol thoughts and actions. Kids deserve moms who aren't hungover! 😊 We can have a blast without harming our bodies. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!

[@marieobligacion8226]

Yay balancing non-alcoholic events and alcoholic events! I feel the same way too, but sometime even though no one is pressuring me to drink at events/gathering, there is this internal pressure to drink. It's more of a habit I suppose! When I don't feel like having a drink I go for soda water, lemon, lime and a hint of salt! It's satiating and refreshing. *Not sponsored* LOL but if I feel like having some wine, really love Dry Farm wines, it's a subscription but love the selections they have. It doesn't leave me feeling hungover or anxious the next day.

[@imjennim]

Oooo, I'll have to try your drink. That sounds incredible!! x

[@LilFiliii]

big sis posted again 💖 luv you!

[@whatwouldsallydo]

pleaaase keep making your long form content 😭🫶 i loved the little talk at the end you are so honest ❤ kinda felt like a podcast almost

[@ensignquinones8300]

YES 18 minutes long!

[@maffcia4121]

I think it's first time seeing Michelle phan with you in your vlog 😍 two of my fave youtubers❣️ 🤩

[@lumentia6576]

I really enjoy your videos and I hope you continue making long form content 💕

[@danielavictoriareyescortes7051]

Ughh! Cant wait to visit LA! I am in the same mindset with alcohol, thanks for showing that way of having fun!

[@imjennim]

Yesss, LA is absolutely worth visiting! I'm thinking about doing an LA guide soon!

[@rizkirahmadania]

I always felt anxious every time I went to a party. But I'll try your tips, Jen! wish me good luck! And anyway, thank you Jen for showing me there are a bunch of fun things to do when we go out💛❤

[@squizzleful]

this vlog made me so happy! missed seeing the pre-mom Jenn a bit :') and please never end the long form content!!!

[@malasadah]

Thoroughly enjoyed this blog. Team Long Form! Deeply related to your insight at the end ❤

"Yuh-lang yuh-lang." Love videos like this! ❤

[@chessareponte9851]

I always learn a lot from your vlog jenn ❤

[@imjennim]

I'm so glad you can take something from them! ❤

[@Amanda-hw3zj]

Amazing socializing tips! I’m a Virgo too and this helps a a lot. I went to a party a few weeks ago and wished I’d given myself that grace period getting aquatinted with everything and everyone. I ended up having a great time. I’m currently reading Stolen Focus! Thanks for that too haha

[@celia1790]

Forever obsessed with anything you wear

[@marccolomayt82094]

Love your cool L.A. experience and lifestyle vlog!!! ❤

[@ajponiente810]

Thank you, love this video so much 😢❤

[@beanzburg888]

omg I've been watching you since I was in middle school, when you were still clothes encounters, and you are still my comfort to watch
