New Year Same Routine | January Vlog

[@imjennim]

Happy Friday, folks! It may be 2021, but my routine has been consistent. Ben and I keep things spicy though, especially in the kitchen. Whose fries would you want to try? n_n

i find it so important to adhere to your non negotiables!!! Journaling + meditation are my non negotiables! It becomes like a slippery slope when you give yourself slack for not doing it one day because at least for me, then I make the same excuse the next couple days and then all of a sudden I stop doing things that were a part of my routine

[@imjennim]

Aww thanks Cristina! I'm so glad they make you feel that way!

[@natalieang2588]

For cleaning your pan, it's better to make your baking soda "paste" very thick and cake it onto the stains, and leave them on for an hour or so. And then spray some vinegar on it, it'll create a chemical reaction, then you can just wipe it and it should be clean! I use this to deep clean the oven! :)

[@coconutpanda]

omg the strawberry sando reaction - so cute, so wholesome.

[@twxcpnay]

For your pans!! Don't know if this works for your type of pots and pans, but my mom told me to use EASY-OFF oven cleaner for my pots and pans. Works like a charm. I spray, leave over night then wash and sponge off all the greasy grime and they look shiny and brand new.

[@CatchyCravings]

For the pan use vinegar and baking soda, make a paste and coat the pan. Let it did and then scrub 😍😍😍 saved my oven! Love your videos! So inspiring!❤

[@lenajlassi1462]

Hi Jenn! Regarding the pan 'grease', what I do is put quite a bit of baking soda in the pan with some water (like the paste you made) and then put it on the stove to heat up. As the water-baking soda mixture evaporates the baking soda 'sticks' to the grease. Leave it on the stove until most of it has evaporated and the baking soda forms a crust. Then take it to the sink and scrub it out (I use gloves for this because the pan is still hot). If you need add a bit of water as you scrub and it should be good to go! At least it works for me :) Good luck :)

[@deedL3]

your videos always feel like a warm hug. i feel like i've grown up with you. any other old veteran subs here?

[@tatmolenda]

JENN I just love you!! Your creativity and the journey you’ve been on this past year has inspired me so much! Also that strawberry sandwich looks 😋 🧡

[@imjennim]

Aww I'm so glad to have been a part of your year!

[@esthersentosa5822]

what I usually do is sprinkle in baking soda on a barely wet surface just so the powder sticks and then going in with vinegar and soap when scrubbing. I've used it on all sorts of really tough grime and works super well.

[@sydneycroucher749]

The amount of motivation I get from watching your videos is astronomical... I am laying here hung over as shit on a Saturday and look at me now, I’m getting up to do my laundry because of you LOL! Love your videos!

[@karmen1265]

I like the cute little giggle you inserted while you were watching TV, seriously I love seeing other people happy, it makes my heart happy :)

[@kaylajasmine824]

Jen, combine the two methods: baking soda and vinegar. Cleans ovens/stove tops beautifully too!

[@itslizzabeth]

basically the same things as baking soda and water... :/ the baking soda causes a chemical reaction that actually cancels out any acidity and just becomes neutral. Just a helpful tip since not a lot of people know the chemistry part! I used to do baking soda and vinegar as a clean up and was so sad to learn it was all a lie lol

[@deeshadansingh6995]

Bicarb + vinegar might also strip the non-stick from the pan. So that greasy stuff is basically the same seasoning as when you season a cast iron pan, it's not terrible. Annoying to clean.

[@joannasabik9508]

Hello Jen! Try baking soda and vinegar together and let it sit in the pen for 30 min. Do it in the sink as it will mousse a lot😁 lots of love for you and your family!!

I miss taking walks in the morning! I live on the East Coast and it’s been so cold, especially this week.

Consider yourself lucky with the warm weather year round Jenn! 😭

Jenn, I’ve been watching you for years, I love your content so much. I’m detoxing my social media intake but allowing myself a few KZbin videos a week. Needless to say, I’m looking forward to your Friday content, your vlogs are some of few I watch all the way through x

[@limecottage]

cleaning things with baking soda secrets - if you want to just use it with water you have to use very little water so that it's more a paste. if you dissolve the baking soda then it's not as abrasive! you could also sprinkle baking soda on the affected areas, then apply a bit of vinegar, let it bubble up for about 5 minutes, and then rinse off! :)

[@TheMuseTree]

I mix baking soda and dish soap into a paste and let it sit on the greasy surface for as long as I can stand, at least 5 minutes. It’s super effective and gentle

[@jenwong5494]

Little tip for cutting the sandwich:leave the cling film on when you cut it, it’s much easier and less messy!

[@ceceria860]

For the cleaning portion, try to use the Dawn Dish Spray along with spraying a mixture of distilled vinegar and water solution. Just buy an empty bottle from the cleaning aisle and filled up with a couple of splashes of vinegar and filled up the rest of the bottle with water. I haven't use it on stained pans like yours, but cleans off stains easily from my stove top. I have heard from this cleaning lady from tik tok that she uses it for almost anything. I would give it try next with using those two products. Spray your pan both with the Dawn dish spray and spray with the diluted vinegar solution, then let it sit for like 5 minutes then wipe it off. At least try to do that.. in case that doesn't work, you can use it as a way to clean your stove and other cleaning areas lol

[@natashabernadette]

At this point, Jenn can talk whatever she wants and I'm here for it! Her voice has become so therapeutic to meee

[@michellelu5745]

[@Dreamyvinini]

I actually prefer uploads on Fridays than on Sundays! Because then I can enjoy watching it during the weekend, rather than on Sundays evenings (I'm in CET timezone) before going back to work... :)

[@haseena1001]

Hey Jenn 😊 I think shifting your upload day to Friday (and Tuesday) makes sense and it is fabulous that you are doing what is right for you. Lol 🤣 at when you stretched out before making your sandwich and yes the struggle with clingfilm is very real. That rooftop is an amazing hidden haven, maybe you can create a space up there. Have you watched the film 'Just like Heaven'? - the rooftop transformation is gorgeous and goes to show how amazing it can be. On a more personal note it was awesome being part of the curl up club discussion this month, it was wonderful to hear everyone's thoughts, opinions and perspective, I hope to be able to contribute my thoughts in the next one x 😊💖👑

[@alittlepieceofem]

ok the baking part was the best part by far, I have to say “hello beautiful” to my berries now

[@melissalim4883]

Mix the baking soda with lemon juice! The baking soda turns foamy-ish when the juice touches it and you can use the lemon wedge as a scrub :) Works every time!

[@moniqueb2095]

Your happy dance behind your sando was the purest form of joy I’ve ever seen! 😭

[@zakcooked325]

Welp, this is new, I'm crying tears of joy and sadness at the same time. How do you manage to make all of these videos so cute and funny, yet sentimental and meaningful at the same time?

[@imjennim]

Aww thank you! I just film the parts of my life that I want to share with ya'll. I'm touched they make you feel that way. T__T

[@rosebonnie7444]

Boil the baking soda with water and keep it covered for at least 20minutes. Also if you get a plastic scraper my mom uses that to get in the corners without ruining her non stick pan.

[@eunikehermawan1397]

[@JPFlySolo]

For that pot you were cleaning, usually I just use a put it in warm water and then put some soap in it and clean it with blue sponge (abrasive/non-abrasive). I know they say cleaning with soap isn't good for pots but I do it for that one so it doesn't stain. Not sure if you want to give it a try but it worked for me. Hopefully it does for you if you do try it out!

[@yeoboocouple4692]

Jenn! Would you be up for posting an updated version of how you edit your videos these days? LOVE your stories, the way you tell your stories, and how you share them💛

[@CocoaHerBeansness]

baking soda, white vinegar and a little soap works best for really mucky pans. apply the baking soda dry, scrub it in, then pour on the vinegar - it'll fizz the stuff off. then add soap to remove the grease.

[@withlovevicky]

There’s something so therapeutic about watching these vlogs 🥺✨

[@haleighen]

I’m here for the friday schedule! I only watch youtube during my lunch breaks on week days so it means I can watch on release rather than waiting a day :)

[@9Fashionista411]

For my non stick pan, I EXFOLIATE the pan with the baking soda. Get some rubber gloves, put some baking soda directly in the pan, and a LITTLE bit of water to make a paste and exfoliate it like you would exfoliate your body or something lol. Using the brush here would help too I guess but having a concentrated baking soda paste to scrub with is key. After exfoliating add some white vinegar, it’ll bubble, and then wash as you normally would with dish soap, hopefully this helps!!

[@jamseylau]

I CAN'T WAIT FOR LIFE TO GO BACK TO NORMAL!!!

[@anonymoussoda]

This video is hitting all the spots! I'm glad I waited to watch this when I'm all relaxed.

[@kroh6418]

With the baking soda method, you want to create a thicker paste- almost like toothpaste. And you cover up all the grime and let it sit overnight. In the morning, you should be able to just wipe everything clean! It worked on my oven/stovetop :)

[@seesuhleesuh]

Hi Jenn, I’m a longtime viewer of yours and I know I could have easily just skipped the ad segment but I hope to provide some feedback and explain why I share some of the disappointment in the comments. First the product was introduced rather abruptly; sitting down to get “candid” with us and immediately pushing a product that you just received in the mail felt disingenuous. It could have been helpful to share more of your personal finance journey and tips before recommending your audience open an account with a financial institution, which can be a big decision for much of your younger viewers. I felt a disconnect in your messaging about using their app to meet personal finance goals - it looks to be not so much a personal finance app but a mobile banking app. I would have been interested to get your perspective on why you partnered with Porte specifically and what unique value they have compared to similar banking solutions, given that I do have similar savings goals as yours. Overall I hope more thought can be put into partnerships particularly with financial products & institutions that can have a broader, long-term impact on your audience.

[@popcorn10124]

As someone who views pretty much every piece of content Jenn puts out on all of her social media I just disagree and so want to share (and to your point, if she could have delivered this better I might as well try to help folks scrolling thru the comments with more context in this moment): I think she might already be planning on doing some of what you suggested - a few weeks ago on her instagram stories she asked folks to share financial mistakes they made in their twenties, she's mentioned before how she's feeling financially after buying her parents a house, and she really typically doesn't leave things with just one video when she shares that it's one of her goals (what she shared about wanting to getting back on track with her savings). I also think we could give a bit more credit to younger viewers - all of the information is right there in what Jenn shared - Porte offers a mobile banking app and savings account offering budgeting/insight tools and as 3% annual yield with no monthly fees, respectively. I honestly think this sponsorship is way less concerning for her younger viewers, especially with her hinting that she's wanting to share more with us about her financial life, than her sponsorships with extremely expensive brands that barely do anything for your skin like La Mer and SKII.

[@popcorn10124]

@@lisaquein1404 you're the one who thinks she was advertising a credit card because you saw those words in a screenshot for the Debt Calculator part of the app and you're replying to me saying "so dumb" please

[@seesuhleesuh]

@@popcorn10124 appreciate the reply and I do agree with your point about giving more credit to younger viewers. I was thinking back to my own experience opening high yield savings accounts in my early 20s, I had to do a ton of research on my own to understand which institution would be the best fit for me and could see how being presented with another option by an “influencer” I admire could have affected that. I understand that responsibility to explain every detail doesn’t fall entirely on Jenn but again do feel the message could have been conveyed differently, and less abruptly. I think it was immediately off-putting to see (what initially looked like a) credit card ad which really contradicts the messaging about paying off debts. Appreciate you sharing about what other content she might be planning and hope there are future opportunities to discuss these topics outside of a sponsored video :)

[@allstarperson]

was just going to comment this.. I agree!

[@andieandbeatrice]

but advertisements are a way she makes money. i think that people have to accept that this is their job and sometimes it may come off as a little fake, but maybe they weren't contacted by a company they like 100%. think of salesmen. do you think they have the car they are promoting? 100% love the company they work for? have some understanding for them. if you don't like their ads, ignore them
