Hey Jenn - Sibling relationships are an interesting one and it's great when you get to have a close relationship. I have not visited America yet but would love to plan a few trips in the future so hence why I enjoy travel vlogs and seeing some of things to do whilst at these different places. 'Seeing is Believing' - There has been a lot of discussion about this nowadays which is great, when it comes to seeing role models that we can identify with is so important. As much as it is down to our own drive and choices, it helps when we have others that we can relate to whether it be mentors, peers, people in the public eye or mainstream media etc as it helps inspire and encourage us. Love to see Eggie expanding and growing the shoot looked like fun - a lot of hard work - but fun! Growth is about getting outside of your comfort zone and having fun! Also love seeing you all together and having fun with the gang!

[@krisityyy92]

You have to do a "what we got for Christmas" video of you and Ben's presents!

[@quaintleaf1208]

Visiting family in Taiwan....and also eating a hella lot of good food there!!!!

[@chloekang698]

Your smile is so contagious!! We love you Jenn thank for everything as always❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@prisiv]

That's so nice to hear your relationship with your brother. I can relate a lot personally to it.

[@Shuuuky]

I had a terrible day... I cried for most of it, actually. Your video made me forget about everything that is wrong in my life right now. I felt good for 20 minutes. Thank you so much Jenn ..

[@imjennim]

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that you've a tough day. I promise things will lift soon. Keep your chin up.

[@Jessica-gg2in]

I hope you feel better son..so sorry to hear that..

[@alliebens4263]

Try to feel better, You’re not alone! Whatever it is, it will pass and you will be stronger

[@anh_truong]

I love that you talked about visibility! It's one of those things people neglect because representation is something that seems so simple to interpret. But in reality, there is a connection between POC in media and how it shapes the future of those who look for people who look like them. There's comfort in representation, and I'm so happy that someone like you has contributed to shaping that first wave of Asian American creators. Barriers are being broken every day!

[@imjennim]

Aww thank you so much for this comment. n_n

[@TheLemaquillage]

Anh Truong what a well written and intelligent comment! I totally agree with what you said but you said it so eloquently. I couldn’t put it better!

[@sirrylot]

jenn, i love you so much. seeing another asian american woman succeed in what she does and loves is so inspirational, and you make me feel like i can do anything with enough passion and hard work. thank you so much for everything you do. ❤️

[@HoneyMitsu55]

Jenn, I know that being a vlogger is not your first « job » on KZbin but I must say that you have the vlogs that I love watching the most ! You always have awesome content, so artistically pleasing and you’re such a wonderful person, I just love listening to you. You’re so true to yourself, you’re not hiding your real identity and thoughts just to please people or what the society expect us to be, and just for this you’re such a big inspiration !

[@roplusmiu]

You’re so bubbly and just radiate positivity! We couldn’t resist to mention you in our 2017 favorites 💞✨

[@anni613]

Jenngle bells jenngle bells, jenngle alllll the way!!!

[@imjennim]

Jenngling all the way till Xmas!

[@mabsbaby8182]

OMG IM STILL NOT OVER THE FACT THAT YOU SAW EPIK HIGH!!!

[@KPOPFreakify]

Watching this before heading off to an internship interview, totally worth my time because watching your video makes me want to work even harder and I feel a little more confident! I don't know why but I just feel the need to let you know. Love you 💕

[@imjennim]

Good luck on your interview! You got this!!

[@MidnightMelodie]

There's a moment when your brother makes a certain face that makes him look so much like your dad. It's really funny and sweet. Also the black & white blouse you had on in the car is very pretty. Merry Christmas to you, Ben, and Chippo!

[@abena7907]

That was so refreshing, I always feel a lot calmer after I watch your videos Jenn x I love that this vlog so much more interactive, that you invited us into your creative process today, really refreshing, I love how raw this was :)

[@annafleur_]

Girl, you look gorgeous with that middle parted bangs!! Plus, you and Ben are lovely! My boyfriend and I also have been doing long distance for years and it’s always nice to see other couples who made it through ❤️ love youuu, xx

[@imjennim]

Aww thank you, Anna! Yes, you guys are also part of the LDR club!

[@TheVideowatcher777]

I love how honest and authentic your videos are!

[@baohannguyen6180]

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS GOT TO SEE KINJAS AND EPIK HIGH?!? That's awesome

[@katiegillettartist]

Jen, loved hearing you talking about your brother. Mine lives in another country and we hardly see each other so I miss him a bunch. It's a funny relationship, isn't it? Glad you got that bonding time!!

[@puppetboymiguel9459]

[@feliciashane]

[@imjennim]

Awww, this makes me so happy!

[@feliciashane]

I always wish the best for you and PLEASEE visit toronto again!!

[@micacuyco]

your relationship with your brother is very similar to my brother and I's. we used to be really close when we were younger but we just stopped talking and we're still in the "not talking to each other" phase 😓 I'm so happy to hear about you and your brother being on good terms now, I hope the same for my brother and I. :)

[@imjennim]

There is definitely hope!

[@emush93]

Jenn your happy face when you eat something yummy is the best!!! Also please put a warning at the start of the video bc of the lasers and strobing from 17:47 - 18:16.

[@yoshikomiller4557]

Girl! I’m so happy you, James, and Ben came down to NOLA!!! Glad that y’all had a good time! Lots of luvvv to you and your family during the holidays 😘

[@hleebyon]

Jenn and Ben - wishing you guys the best of 2018 - and if you haven't heard it enough... Many blessings for your upcoming wedding and love on your families and friends!

[@squirrelsongs]

New Orleans is an amazing city! And the food is delish!

[@christyl]

the opening plane sunset/sunrise was so beautiful and soothing festive ~mood~

[@lollytatryana2486]

Never skipped any ads in your vid just because it is just the only way to express my love for Jenn LOL

[@OptimalLivingDaily]

So excited that you’re narrating on the podcast! 🎉🎊🎈

[@SRKanai1]

I love everything Jenn does, but her vlogs are my favorite! Loved this!

[@monetkumazawa183]

YES. Your thoughts about Asian-American figures in media & visibility, yes Jenn, yes!!!

[@princesscarolyn3445]

Can I just mention how good-looking you and your brother are? I know it's weird to mention but it's true ♥♥ and I somehow just realized Ben reminds me much of Hugh Laurie, which I found amazing tbh cause I love them both. Love you Jenn!

[@mariale5262]

Omg I love OLD podcast!! I listen to it every morning. I can’t wait to listen to your episode! 😍

[@roystonang3436]

Absolutely love your videos jenn!!! I totally relate to your relationship with your brother, like right now I'm at that stage where we don't talk at all & seeing how close you are with your brother now, really gives me hope :) keep doing what ü do!!!!

[@kaileyk9183]

Your vlogs are always my favorite

[@thespilledmilk]

I went to New Orleans January of this year and Acme Oyster House was the best! We ate there like 3 times because it was so good. The food in New Orleans was great, so was the architecture and music

[@ngminhha]

OMGGGG!!! I listen to OLD every single day and it is my favorite podcast. Do tell us when you episode releases, I definitely won't miss it!!!

[@davinatjoa]

so excited for more jennglebell videos!!! 💕💕

[@imjennim]

Yess! Get ready!

[@lovehskx3]

I'm obsessed with the greatest baking show too!! :)

[@KakatheStrange]

You're the only youtuber I'm still watching since 2010 (i think?). Very impressed with your motivation and all the high quality vlogging?? How do you even do that. Woah good job, Jenn!

[@imjennim]

Awww thanks for sticking around this long, Kara!

[@Mariannemaisy]

Yesss stardew valley!!! I played 120 hours on my laptop but so tempted to start again on my switch! Totally agree that it’s the perfect game to relax with 💫

[@Brundeeh]

I can relate to the relationship with your brother. My younger brother and I were so close when we were younger, we were my mum's little comedians. Then maybe when I was just starting secondary school, we just started separating. Especially when he later started secondary school. And we are getting a tiny bit closer but in general we just don't talk to each other. I'm finishing university next year, so I hope a similar thing will happen with my brother. I miss talking to him, especially since it's only us two. I'm glad you and your brother are close, gives me hope for me and my brother. 💛

[@imjennim]

I feel like a lot of sister/brother relationships are this way. I promise it'll get better as you guys get older. n_n Just keep trying to reach out. Sending all my love your way!

[@Aspiritedpanda21]

Cant wait for the the eggie drop and im in love with Star Dew Valley. Great vlog Jenn!!

[@jessicaong8459]

What a beautiful person and soul, Jenn!

[@SincerelyKimmy]

New Orleans is one of my absolute favorite places to visit. So glad you got a chance to visit it. The spirit and energy of that city is insane!

[@stllfrhh]

Sunday is not a real sunday without a Jenn's video. Looking forward your Jennglebells serie ! Love you. ♡

[@imjennim]

Very true! n_n Thanks Stell!

[@taradrienne]

i've always wanted to visit new orleans!! i also had a similar relationship with my brother, who is a year older than me. i remember we didn't talk to each other at all growing up until like maybe after high school, i'd say now we're the closest we've ever been. i've been thinking of going on a trip with him as well! love you jenn!

[@avneetkaur4616]

OMG I love this !!! I love how your so happy and positive all the time !!!

[@imnicolevilla]

Meeting you was one of the best experiences I had so much fun with you! it’s so great to see you had just as much fun in New Orleans as we did! You’re the best 💕

[@balletshark0101]

You’re my inspiration in every aspect Jenn. You have such a beautiful light and are so lovely all around

[@Mist3rChing]

Jen, I love your content even with the fact that I'm not really a fashionista sort of person. You basically have it all. You're so humble, outgoing and always positive, which is why you have a fantastic connection with your fans/subscribers. However, I'm here for a suggestion! Since you have fantastic connection with your fans, what about add a 'fan of the week/day' at the end of your videos to be more closer with your fans using a simple addition to your videos. So whether its someone praising you, someone commenting on something they enjoyed in one of your videos, just simply screenshot it and add it at the end of your videos. Hope you have a fantastic build-up to the Xmas/festive period, Mister Rools

[@아보-y2j]

Jen's blog makes me happy😀

[@talia5462]

Ah!! I love Stardew Valley!!! I'm so glad you love it too 😊

[@dreamzspark]

love you and your energy so much , everytime i see your vlogs i think maybe life's worth living

[@chunsatoki88]

Hey! I love seeing Ben cook for you. It gives me ideas since I am so busy. More videos of ben's recipes please!

[@Kukxi]

Your vlogs are one of my FAVES! 😍😍❤️❤️

[@clairejung8982]

yay for the optimal living daily reading!!! I have been OBSESSED with it since you mentioned it in a previous blog. It has helped me so so much - especially on those slightly depressing Monday train rides into work. Love everything that you do! Keep it up onni!

[@imjennim]

Ahh! I'm so happy you love OLD as well. Wishing you a great Monday!

[@OptimalLivingDaily]

This is so nice! Thank you for listening, Claire!

[@clairejung8982]

honestly been such an awesome way to start the day, an amazing pick me up :)

[@jennycui9539]

Omg it was such a nice surprise to hear you on OLD today! I found about the podcast through u and I’ve been listening to it everyday

[@wawafrog4778]

Jenn u r so wonderful and positive! extremely love your smiling face :)

[@anditspaganpoetry]

Damn you really touched me with your story about you and your brother. I'm the same with my older brother, we used to be very close until he went off to middle school. I'm still in that phase of not really talking to him... we only get together when my dad plans for us to have family events. When we do get together we have a nice dynamic, and laugh at a lot of the same things. But we've lost that closeness, and I can't imagine hanging out like that again. Hopefully it can happen though.

[@dimpledbeauty6673]

So glad you got the opportunity to check out New Orleans. My brother lives there and I live in lake Charles, La. ❤️❤️❤️

[@DeliaX]

Loved loved this recap! Can't wait for the next one :)

[@tabichaaaa]

I've been super stressed with life at the moment and your videos always have such a calming effect on me. You're an absolute gem, never forget that! 💕

[@KellyLira]

OMG JENN I loved hearing you talk about Stardew Valley 🙈 I can tell how much you love playing that game just by how you talk about it! so cute!

[@Doni-doni-d]

The edit is on pointttt♡ I like how Ben climbs onto the back of one of the fellas and someone other than you is vlogging it XD So relaxed and fun to watch!

[@mckennacalderon5725]

Omg! Jenn! It is my absolute dream to go there! I love the history and voodoo and food from there! I want to try it all lol! Maybe not the voodoo. My fave football team is there too! Seeing you there made me so so happy!

[@Raychowww]

OMGOSHHH! Ben should definitely do videos on his recipes!!! his food always looks so darn amazing!

[@violentbadger6401]

Jenn I'm so glad you love Stardew Valley! I love playing it after a long day, it's soooo relaxing and chill c:

[@minimarieke1302]

Yeessss what a great end to a stressful day! 😊😍 Watching you videos always feels like having a meet-up with a best friend, I love catching up with you and the ones you love!

[@imjennim]

Aww, this makes me so happy! Thank you for tuning in!

[@ohnoitsaaaaa]

omg jenn your middle part makes you look so elegant (not that you didn't already)!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕

[@AIkeychul]

The game in your switch is like harvest moon! 💖

[@dhanielz08]

You talking about bein asian american crossing boundaries, doing what you want is so inspiring as always. 😍😍 (I dont comment, never i think but been a subscriber since 2009 or 2010 😁)

[@Rachelfishk33]

I was in New Orleans just a few weeks after you! If you ever go back you have to go to Jimmy J's and get the Crab Cakes Benedict! It was out of this world!

[@livamherst9095]

This was such a fun video to watch!! Can't wait 'till the next Jennglebells!

[@runwaychick7]

I lived close to NOLA and you definitely did the right things and ate the right stuff!!

[@imjennim]

Yay! :D

[@ma.roxannecharismaloya2634]

So excited for the podcast and lookbook!!! 😍😍😍

[@HannaYoon]

I've just entered my 20s so I guess I'm not that much of a dongseng, but you are still one of my role models. I don't mean it in a way to put you on a pedestal, but you honestly provide that visibility for me. I am also short, less than 5'2", and Korean American and even though height and facial features are such superficial feature, it's just so empowering and reassuring to see someone with similar features as me being a public figure and being recognized for it. I've been away at college on the east coast and I miss my Asian American community so much. Watching your videos really inspires me and keeps me going sometimes, because your content feels so relatable -- not in a "my life is exactly like yours" way, but in a way that you talk about really human themes, morals, etc. So there's my little confession... (I'll be graduating next May and hope I'll be settling back home in LA for a while! Just gotta find myself a job first! LOL)

[@rabiatulxx]

Ive got a twin brother and we went through the exact same phase you and your brother went through...Last week he took me to the Midnight screening for The Last Jedi and it was so nice to just hang out with him =)

[@rtchemp]

GURL!!! I LIVE IN NEW ORLEANS!!!!!! WELCOME TO THE BIG EASY!!!

[@WildxSnow]

Watching ur vlog make me feel happy. Thank you!!! Merry Christmas 🎄🎄

[@hillaryk4795]

Jenngle Bells! Best time of the year! Can you please tell me again where you got your plates? I need them in my life. xoxo

[@jessjess8055]

OMG i love Stardew and I love that you love it too!!! There's so many secret things on there that you should look up if you need spoilers!

[@sophiachen2633]

Your life is what I always dream about❤️ love u Jenn

[@lilianafuentes197]

Omg most of the places you went to go eat is where I went too when I was down there !! Even the cafe w the powered sugar pastry was good! ☺️☺️☺️ I love your vlogs keep it coming girl!!

[@BrightCradle]

be sure to make use of sprinklers in stardew valley when u can get them~ its so much easier if u dont have to water ur plants so much

[@Lienguyen25]

Being a New Orleanian, you went to some really great spots that many tourists don’t know about! Would love to have recommended more places for you to check out!

[@vivian8130]

Aw went to the same beignet café when I was there a couple months ago!

[@ChristineCeline]

aw! your vacation looked so nice and much needed! i really loved watching your adventures! i can't wait for the eggie drop! you're seriously hot fire flames these days babe! much love as always, Jenn!

[@andreaampig3262]

[@imjennim]

Aww thank you, Ayu!

[@ellieg96]

I'm going to NOLA next year and this made me so excited!

[@peachinthepines]

Your New Orleans trip looked really fun! ^_^ Sorry you were suffering from the sniffles though, probably because of change in climate and being in the swamp. I live in the swamp of southeast Georgia and until you're used to it your allergies and sinuses will go crazy!

[@lily.lavender]

I didn’t expect to see Epikhigh in your video, what a surprise

[@darrbow]

Thanks for a great year of streaming and merry xmass to you and all your fans

[@arlevsanico8582]
