[@ateramino]

I have NEVER watched a single one of your videos and thought, “wow the lighting looks bad” Don’t stress so much about it!

[@redrope022]

I’ve been a photographer for over 20 yrs, I’ve almost never given a second thought to your lighting. I think you’re doing much better than you feel you are and also you’re filming in your home like it shouldn’t look like perfect studio lighting. It’s supposed to feel like we’re just friends hanging out and chatting. That’s just my thought on it.

[@AdventureswithAmirah]

I agree!🌟 Jess is like the little sister I never had!

[@sandraray7274]

I’ve read every Kristen Hannah book and my NEW favourite is The Women. Absolutely a page turner and I believe,for me, her best book ever.

[@taradevito6751]

Oooo I don’t think I have read this one adding to my list!

[@peaceonearth2364]

I’ve read every one of her books also and The Women was definitely a favorite! Her books are just the best!

[@rachelrobertson3402]

The Women was amazing.

[@simplyellenxo95]

Hi Jessica, in case no one’s said this to you, I appreciate everything you do for all of us and keep posting consistently and on top of that it’s long form content…😊

[@momzillainnova]

The nightingale is literally one of my favorite books of all time. If you liked her other books The nighingale will BLOW YOU AWAY!

[@lucybarrington4634]

I read The Nightingale years ago and it still haunts me. An unforgettable book.

[@14lorema]

For crimping hair, if you flip the barrel upside down it takes care of the top section because the first wave looks more like volume at the roots

[@gigi2k326]

Yes!

[@LisyCO]

Well, hello there. FYI, Aldi sells Ketchup chips. I've recently come to the decision where I'm going to purge about 75% of my makeup, skincare, clothes etc. Want to simplify my space. I will only purchase when I need to. The luxury of "I want that" has reached its end for me. Work hours cut and rent increase is hurting, not just me, but many of us (still I am grateful for my job and home don't misunderstand me). But I can help myself by minimizing my expense. I will continue to watch, though. Blessings to all out there in YT land. 💐

[@katia_gabriella]

😅 I've been trying to figure out my relationship with KZbin because of all of this. While I like to hear banter (Beauty News, Theresa is Dead, Samantha March), I'm over everyone spending or getting sent free items. And then saving face by decluttering. This is everyone overall. I'm getting help from family to even have groceries. So while I'm not bitter, I'm trying to be entertained, and depending on how the person behaves, either I'll feel like it really is a friend or it's an influencer. KZbin more and more feels like influencing b.s.

[@spacecookiesvlog]

I’d sell some of it on a marketplaces to get some extra cash 💰

[@romana-yn1fr]

​@@katia_gabriellaIt's their job to consume more and more stuff. 90% of products influencers try become their favorite for us to buy from their link.

[@LindaMC96]

I have been decluttering so much makeup too through past few months. I still have a lot and going to continue to declutter more. My life has changed so much after a life event, I’m caring a lot less for things now. I stopped buying all the time like before. It got so overwhelming and not everything gets used. It was wasteful having them sit here.

[@LisyCO]

@LindaMC96 I completely understand. I hope whatever you're going through works out in your favor.💐

[@Pamela-B]

Kristin Hannah is one of my favorite authors. I’ve just finished her recent book, The Women. Fantastic. You really can’t go wrong with any of her books. They’re the kind of stories that stick with you. You’ll love The Great Alone.

[@haileyy_f]

Could not agree more. The Great Alone was amazing. The Nightingale.. also amazing. The Women is my next book and I’m very excited!!

[@KelseyMorris]

I don't know why I am so shocked that you had only been in a World Market once before! I feel like this would be one of you and Tyler's favorite stores considering how much you both adore travel and they have so much food from around the world. My husband moved here from the UK when we got married and I stop by World Market often to get British items and we'll host British nights at our house - so fun and friends get to try things they've never had before! If you guys went again and got some groceries to cook some international meals (obviously at the cutting board), I know so many of us would totally watch those videos and absolutely love them! 😊

[@ericazimmer5343]

If your tailbone keeps bothering you, you must try acupuncture. I broke my tailbone giving birth to my first child and suffered for 9 months and after trying everything my specialist recommended except surgery, I tried acupuncture. Within 2 months I was totally healed ( it was getting better and better each week). So many doctors and MRIs and money. It makes sense the body can heal itself if you can get enough blood flow to the injury. I'm so happy I chose that option otherwise my other option was to kill the nerve and have weird numbness for the rest of my life.

[@julienolan5695]

I love when Tylers on. I feel like im just hanging out with friends. Love love your vlogs❤

[@jaymeelizabeth5574]

You need to go back to World Market at Christmas time! So fun and magical - so many great gifts too!

[@somewherenorth4092]

Yes! So pretty and such fun stocking stuffers!

[@sarahreiman251]

The Nightingale is my favorite book EVER. It's a must read.

[@DannaAnn128]

The Nightingale is hands down my fave from Kristin Hannah, you’ll love it!

[@BriannaWoodbine]

Tyler would LOVE the international food section! I can imagine a week of "welcome to the cutting board" with so many fun international foods, it's Cory and I's favorite store ever as world travelers and at Christmas?!?! the best

[@TheresaReedNYCBeautyGirl]

Love these weekly vlogs. Thanks so much for bringing us along on your daily journeys.

[@pattyjensen7393]

I grew up in Northern Maine. Parents were Canadian. Ketchup chips were a staple of my childhood when we’d visit relatives in Canada. When we got older, we’d go to Canada to specifically buy their flavored chips. Best flavor - Roast Chicken. Ketchup chips though….🥰. Those trips are long over as I’m now in Iowa.

[@cassielawyer87]

The Nightingale is soooooo good!!! My fave by her.

[@madisonklawrence]

The Women by Kristin Hannah is the best book I've read in 2024. I STILL think about it. So good!

[@laurenslaughter2440]

I don’t generally gravitate towards historical/historical fiction books, but they always end up being my favorites! The one I just finished was called The Queen’s Fortune. It’s about the first woman Napoleon was engaged to, who later ended up being the queen of Sweden. It was fasicinating!

[@Meredith_ann]

The nightingale is amazing. You are reading in a good order. After the nightingale you must read the women. ❤❤❤

[@rebeccapatterson8049]

Book recommendation: the invisible life of Addie LaRue. If you have not read that, it is a very very special book. I finished it sometime ago and still can’t stop thinking about it.

[@katybroyles2805]

There are books on studio lighting, but what you probably need most is just a big white diffuser light. It gives soft, even, beautiful light that looks like sunlight reflecting off a white wall.

[@carolesimmons1]

The Women was a book choice in my sorority book club - so good! We read Nightingale last year. We liked The Women best but that takes place in Vietnam which was during our college days so great pick for a sorority book club.

[@camillablasingame7540]

The NIGHTINGALE im nearing the end of and its been enjoyable. I read the four winds because of you! SO good!

[@Reiliferei]

I love world market. I never remember them being affordable though. Nice to see you two in a vlog together.

[@kass1736]

can confirm the 3 barrel waver works amazing on short hair, especially if you want volume, also great for half up styles

[@SpellBoundWriter2]

I know I’m pre to the comment party but KH is one of my all time favs and she wrote Firefly Lane and it’s sequel! Only two books that have ever made me cry. Ever.

[@katealonis7512]

My all time favorite books

[@alicepirola7077]

Your Vlogs are my special "me" time. You always are so lovely and inspiring ❤

[@AlaynaMWilson]

Definitely read the nightingale next! Literally my favorite book to this day and also didn’t think I’d be so intrigued about a historical fiction book taking place during WWII but it’s that good

[@shellycupp4062]

Oh my goodness I had an inflamed coccyx several years ago and it was so painful and uncomfortable. They ended up treating it with steroids and anti-inflammatories never really knew the cause. But I haven't had it since so that's good. Hopefully yours will resolve soon.❤

[@jgheart3018]

Oh, you have to read/ listen to Kristin Hannah's book The Women - it's about nurses during the Vietnam War...SOOO good!

[@itsjessicabraun]

definitely a recent addition to my list too!!

[@michellearseneau8119]

Ohhhhh I need to read that book..thank you

[@thepurplepiano21]

Yes! The Nightingales is beautifully heart wrenching ❤

[@nancyford3707]

Kristin Hannah is one of my favorite authors. I have read most of her books. She has a way of writing that makes everything interesting.

[@ashlinalley9615]

The Nightingale is one of my all time favorite books I highly recommend it!! Kristin Hannah’s newest book The Women is about nurses in Vietnam, it is also insanely good! Magic Hour is a shorter one and not historical fiction but it’s also a really good read! She is my favorite author, I love her writing so much!

[@susanjeffries5108]

World Market is so fun! Absolutely love going there during the holiday season. Lots of fun giftable things and decorations. Fun to put together international food and goodie baskets for people as gifts! A very fun store to hang out in, with foods you don't find elsewhere.

[@TheBlueSkiesOfTexas]

"The nightingale" book is amazing get ready to cry I did❤😘

[@Annie-nz7yu]

omg i LOOOOOOVE the nightingale. top 3 fav books of all time

[@kristin.o.cooper]

The Nightingale was the book that got me back into reading as an adult! I want to read so many of her other books!

[@lisagauvreau3358]

Yes!!! Read the Nightingale!!! One of my favorites!!

[@NIEVESWRIGHT]

The Winter Garden by Kristen Hannah is my FAVORITE book by her. Historical fiction. Family. Drama. Love love love this book!!!

[@amyd4444]

22:43 awww!! my dad, who passed when i was in my 20’s, used to only get after 8’s for new years when i was a kid- mostly because of the name 😂, but they are soooo good! Now my husband tries to find them for me for new years ❤

[@FavouriteMercy0]

Watching you talk about after eights is so funny. They are such a routine buy for us. Soft yummy mint chocolate. A favourite!

[@ashleighcoles06]

Ayeee team notifications! You’re saving me while I wait for my car oil to be changed! Love you and your content Jess!! ❤

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

I love the book chats! 🙌🏻💜🌻

[@taradevito6751]

I have broken my tailbone (coccyx) 8-10 week recovery! I still have residual pain! ESO when running or lifting too heavy. I say go for a cray you never know. Not that you can do much it’s just rest. I also have to avoid recliners abs certain seating position. Physio helped tremendously

[@jenreviewsbooks]

The Nightingale is one of the most amazing books I’ve read. It was easily a five star for me.

[@AbigailPearson9116]

Girl purple is your color!!!!!

[@mymyluvsya]

I looooove Cost Plus World Market! So sad when they closed the one near my house years ago. Used to get all sorts of fancy snacks from all over the world, and fun gifts. They’re not exactly a bargain spot, but their items are unique.

[@chiknlittle]

Im currently reading The Measure by Nikki Erlick. It’s about everyone in the world getting a box with a string & that string correlates to the length of your life (longer string = longer life). It’s not the most well-written book, but the topic is fascinating because it brings up so many different aspects of knowing how long your life would be. I definitely enjoy the depth of thought the book provokes. I think it would be a great book club book, too, because there’s so many different topics you could discuss.

[@ekayburke]

I recently bought a waver (BedHead) and I love it! So quick and easy. The waves stay, too. I have thick, long hair.

[@lindsaydenney1666]

The Great Alone is one of my favorite books of all time. I still think about it years later! I loved the Nightingale just as much.

[@first5times]

All of those Kristin Hannah books are excellent (The Four Winds was my favorite), but my favorite from her is The Women. I could not put it down. ❤

[@amywells83]

Kristin Hannah, the Women, favorite book this year!! ❤

[@carimichelle]

Kristen Hannah is in my top 5 faves!! Nightingale was the first book I read from her. Exceptional!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@xxwaitingmyturnxx]

I absolutely LOVE your hair styled that way Mrs.Jessica!! ❤

[@erinhoyt1671]

Great vlog!! I love World Market and am surprised you don’t usually go there as it seems like your vibe. I live in a tiny tiny town (300 ppl) so I’m always super jealous but love the vlogs when you go to stores like that. I can live vicariously through your shopping! PS - I saw a comment recommending The Women and I agree! I have read many Kristin Hannah books, mostly 5⭐️, but that one was a favorite for sure!

[@kristinraeee]

For top layer of your hair, try flipping your hair waver upside down! It helps with the creasing and helps your front pieces lay correctly 😃

[@jennicox928]

I love Kristen Hannah and the nightingale is one of my favs!

[@sarah33schafer14]

I am half way into The Nightingale and it's really good! I love your vlogs!

[@jillymac0613]

The Women by Kristen Hannah was so good. Also Home Front by her was excellent! She is def a new favorite author for me!

[@macynoelle]

I don't read a tremendous amount of books but I will always read Kristin Hannah. All of her books are phenomenal. Firefly Lane was definitely a favorite!!

[@Liljmonster]

22:46 my mom always had after eights in the house too! It was a little treat we would get right before bed

[@RTCPhotoWork]

The lighting at the end of the video looks pretty good. If you're going for the look of window light, you pretty well nailed it. The main sign it's artificial light is only the key lights in your eyes. If you're going for an even broader lighting look, put a reflector on your desk, slightly angled up toward you but mostly flat. What you have here is very pretty, though. I'd look into a warmer light bulb if you're feeling picky about that. (It's giving a blue cast of light on the front of your face--the main areas around your nose.)

[@MegaFuzzy10]

The Great Alone is a fantastic book! The Nightingale is the next book on my list.

[@abbybennett5193]

Get the kettle corn torani syrup!! It’s the salty sweet taste that you NEED in your coffee

[@lauraklein8501]

I love your vanity, it’s so functional. I have a small vanity but the drawers are super small & only has 4 of them. So I had to get a cabinet to put next to it to hold my makeup & brushes & skin care. I’m sorry if you have told us before but where did you get the vanity from please ?

[@wboyd4330]

The Nightingale is a must! Also loved The Women.

[@melindacallaghan5367]

I loooooove World Market! I bought kitchen chairs, art , pots , kitchen items. They have great lighting. Its a fun store to roam around and just look. My husband always finds snacks!

[@katrinam2309]

Hahaha the ketchup chips bit got me 😂 I’m Canadian and I love ketchup chips (Lays), but they’re one of those love-them-or-hate-them flavours. I feel like a kid at a birthday party whenever I have them 🥳

[@samantha312314]

I fell down some steps years ago (like 25 years ago) The pain gradually got worse of a course of a few days. Ended up with a chipped tailbone I hope you are feeling better

[@hollyoberhansly2303]

I think I have read all of Kristin Hannah’s books, Nightingale is my favorite and I also LOVE the Night Road.

[@shaeden77]

Andes mint cookies 1 devils food chocolate cake mix 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 eggs 30 Andes mint candies Mix cake mix, oil and eggs. Roll into 1 inch balls and bake on 350 degrees for 8-9 minutes. When cookies come out immediately set an Andes mint candy on top. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then take the back of a spoon and spread the melted chocolate over top of the cookies. Let cool and enjoy. These. Are. Amazing!

[@clareosullivan6017]

After Eights and Chocolate Orange, that’s just British Christmas 😂

[@JadedGen]

The nightingale is amazing. Favorite book of mine!

[@candiceminks5786]

The Nightengale is SO wonderful!!!

[@msmks9249]

Love this 3 you mentioned and really loved her new one the women. So good.

[@jennifersmith9344]

I have read all those Kristen Hanna books. All great. The Nightingale is great, but I love WW2 time period!

[@Terroreyez]

I have a similar hair tool (and shorter hair) and I absolutely love it! I don't do my hair very often, but since I purchased my waver, I do it ALL the time! Obsessed!

[@bernieh643]

The nightingale is brilliant. I read it a few years ago. I would recommend her new one- The women. It’s all about women’s roles in the Vietnam War. Kirsten Hannah researched this for 20 years before writing the book. It’s really very good. X❤

[@Elly.Kelly526]

Love Kristin Hannah!! The Nightingale is my favorite 😍

[@laurenhester9557]

The great alone is so good! I loved the four winds as well❤and the nightingale is my favorite from KH. If you like twisty thriller type books, rock paper scissors is good!

[@clairenix1108]

The Nightingale is good but The Women is SO good! I read it in less than 24 hours! I read The Great Alone this past summer while on an Alaskan cruise, so that was a neat circumstance. I enjoyed it. Kristin Hannah does tend to just draw you in.

[@meaganwilliams6826]

I’m halfway into year 26, and this is the second time I’ve noticed my skin changing! I’ve always been acne prone, but different acne treatments start and stop working for me. I think the current “wave” is coming to an end hahaha

[@kelseybogle7902]

Kristin Hannah is probably my fav author! I loved the Women!

[@jodij6280]

I just finished reading a book called Painting Celia. It's about a relationship between two damaged people who are changed by getting to know each other. It's by a first time author, Maya Bairey, and it's the best book I've read in years.

[@HeatherGraff-jc4pk]

Absolutely love your vlogs!! 💜💗💜 You are just so genuine!

[@taradevito6751]

Nightingale is one of my top books I’ve read! Def pick it up!

[@nclementson]

The Nightingale is in my top 5 favorite reads ever! Also read The Winter Garden by Kirsten Hannah is AMAZING! In the realm of historical fiction as well, I just read The Briar Club by Kate Quinn. That was so so good too!

[@jeannettefranco5487]

Yay! I saw you posted this 1 minute ago! Hahaha excited to see this video!

[@hello_danielle]

My husband and I enjoy World Market since they sell unique and specialty stuff. I don't even remember them being more on the affordable end since we started shopping there years ago. They got some cute stuff tho!

[@sstriepeck]

Looove Kristin Hannah - The Nightingale is a must along with Winter Garden and The Women. Home Front was also really good. Haven’t read Four Winds - adding it to my list now!

[@lindavonkreisler9645]

The Nightingale is one of the best books I’ve read! Highly recommend!

[@jesscarol929]

I've read The Nightingale and I loved it so much! I highly recommend it! Another book I read of hers which I also loved is called Firefly Lane. I've also noticed my skin get oily when there's a heat wave.

[@kaileynorris8903]

The Nightingale is one of my all-time faves! I also recommend The Women - Kristin Hannah’s newest book. 📖❤️

[@jennifergough295]

Oh The Woman....one of the best books I've ever read. As a nurse myself, with a husband who was in combat (not in Vietnam), wow does it get you in the feels.

[@angeladesilva7913]

I’ve read all three of those books you mentioned I love her writing next one I’ll be reading is The Women. You’re so pretty!❤😊

[@courtneyungechauer3764]

The nightingale is one of my favorites. I'm about to start frozen river, which i heard was great too

[@ashlielink4608]

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah is in my top 5 books I’ve read. I recently reread it because it was such a great book!

[@laurasweeney5593]

The Nightingale is incredible, in my top 3 books of all time.
