Which shade are you using in the skin tint? Did you try a few or just the one? I'm similar shade to you 😊

[@JasminLu]

Hey Jessica, speaking as a dentist from the UK here - we don't recommend flossing kids teeth, and actually I don't know of any child who would happily let their parents do this! Cavities form with a combination of 3 things: bacteria, sugar, and time. Brushing helps with reducing bacteria, but no amount of brushing will stop cavities forming if there is too much sugar in the diet. I honestly think this is the issue, especially with hidden sugars these days. I'd recommend try keeping sugary snacks to mealtimes, and always drink some plain water to wash the sugar down afterwards. Hope this gets to you and helps!

[@meganjackson4967]

Sugary bevs and snacks for sure. RDH here 🦷 If she is sipping on something besides water for “long” periods between meals that is probably the issue. Only water between meals. 😉 Don’t beat yourself up. All we can do is move forward.

[@trishamurphy3357]

Interesting, bc I'm in the US and our children's dentist had us flossing their teeth from the first visit there when they were 1.5 years old.

[@nickiedoyle1731]

​@@trishamurphy3357right I was just gonna say this . They stress flossing

[@vanessanicholson9260]

Is it true that genetics play a big role? Seems like some people take excellent care of their teeth and get cavities and some people do “all the wrong things” and never get them!! 🤪

[@stephanievelez8320]

I believe this too! My daughter has never been a sweets person and very seldom would crave sugar. She hasn’t had a cavity at 21!! Meanwhile I’ve had so many in my life and yes I’m a big sugar person 😞

[@abbieleighdoesmakeup8140]

Hey Jessica, I just wanna warn you about the flat top Blackstone grill because my dad has one and we’ve had this issue- if you don’t season it with oil and heat it up every so often, it will rust and can be hard to clean. If it rusts, don’t throw it away but just get a cleaning kit and scrape it etc. there are KZbin videos for cleaning them if they rust. Just don’t want y’all to panic if you see rust like we did!

[@mkel858]

I've seen on a video somewhere that when they build grills no matter what brand they run it thru a thin line of paint that just barely covers the grill so when we bought ours you can get high heat spray paint and we painted it before use and it lasted much longer .

[@abbieleighdoesmakeup8140]

@@mkel858 that’s interesting! Thanks for sharing

[@raywils901]

We love our Blackstone. Have had it for two years, and have had no problems with rust. Making sure you get a good season on it, and keeping it well oiled it’s key. Much like a cast iron. Also, maybe having a nice grill cover helps.

[@abbieleighdoesmakeup8140]

@@raywils901 yeah like I said- it just needs to be well seasoned and oiled, especially if it isn’t used consistently. It’s definitely like a cast iron skillet.

[@raywils901]

@@abbieleighdoesmakeup8140 gotcha. I guess I read the “don’t throw it away” as kind of a negative and ridiculous statement considering it’s a $600+ grill lol

[@Romaniuk530]

Jess don’t feel bad about Genevieve’s cavities. My mom was a dental hygienist and did all the things and I still had many cavities. Genes and hereditary is a thing. Your such a great mom ❤

[@jenniferlyons4150]

Its awesome both parents can attend kids schools and pre school. I missed my sons first day of school, twice, because of work. So did my husband. What a blessing to be able to take time off whenever you want for your kids' appointments and school events. That's how life should be but the reality is different! 😊

[@smurfmonster]

I just HAD to mention that whatever your skin care routine is at the moment, keep doing it!!! I know you’d started back on the Tretinoin after the little one was born and goodness me you can REALLY see it paying off. Your skin looks like a baby’s new skin, all flawless and even and not a wrinkle in sight!!

[@sueblaisdell2430]

When my daughter was young she had to have a filling. Our pediatric dentist took the anxiety out of the event for her by calling it a "princess tooth". She's thirty now and still talks about how it made her feel less anxious.

[@ambermullins6158]

Watching Felicity walk brought me to tears!! 🥲 She is so precious... 🩷

[@bobbiewilliams5101]

Jess, just gotta say, I just ordered the laptop riser. I often watch on or use my iPad. Lol, stacking it on my library books to avoid looking down! Hoping that this will work, it looks like a great idea to help with posture. Thanks for the recommendation! I do love your videos and I am 71. So know that you reach a lot of people of all ages who enjoy your content, your contagious joy of life and you honesty. Thanks for all of your great content, beauty, recipes,…life!💕🌻

4 children. They each had their own color. Red/pink, blue, yellow,green. Toothbrushes, cups, Christmas wrapping paper, whatever. Their in their 30s an 40s now. It really worked. I thought someone would get tired of their color but it was never an issue. 😅

[@Creellh]

Can I just say I love how you split the vlog into different chapters/sections!!!

[@ivyshocklee]

Coming to say that they have giant coloring posters on amazon! I bet Miss Genevieve would love them if she liked the matress box :)

[@VirginiaCowan-z8g]

Thank you for the tip with the replacement headphone pads! Mine and my husband's look exactly like Jessica's and we had no idea it was so simple and cheap to replace.

[@n1h1L1s7ka]

You are my comfort English speaking youtuber I adore how positive and funny you are every time And I got a pretty good laugh again with that video Thank you for sharing your life and laughter with us! 💜 P.S.: Also, your brows with that product - WOW! Emphasized, but still natural! Love this tattoo brow styling gel!

[@millylarz]

For Celsius, the sparkling ones that are fizzy like Lacroix are way better than the vibe ones. They are energy drinks so just treat them like a red bull. Learned my lesson, I didn't realize they were so caffeineted and I had 2 in one day😭 I felt like I was a bumble bee learning how to fly😂, yikes!

[@samanthafierro6477]

My husband and I have been sleeping on a Helix "big kid bed" 😅 for the past 3 years and we LOVE it!

[@spookybard]

When I had my wisdom teeth removed, the things that made me absolutely insane was the gauze that they had packed into my mouth to help with the bleeding. I literally spat it out the second I was home and felt the the bleeding had calmed. It was a sensory nightmare. I guess I am saying, I get why Gigi lost her mind, that’s the part that would make me cry too. I hope her next one is easier on everyone. Thanks for the blog Jess, always nice to connect with my internet friend!

[@womanofacertainage5892]

"So stop distracting me!" OK, Jess, ok! p.s. I only drink decaf coffee and I love the taste of coffee so so much! I drink a venti decaf iced Americano 95% of the time -- with a splash of heavy cream or half and half -- far lower in calories than other Starbucks drinks and no sugar! Love it.

[@debbydunc]

I drink the exact same thing! Coffee twins!

[@ayoangelc]

Perfect timing! Starting to cook dinner and I like to watch videos while doing so. 🩷🫶🏻

Boxes to color: depending on your brand preference for diapers, we used Disney themed pull ups for potty training and the inside of the box is an entire coloring scene!

“ stop distracting me “ !! Literally made me laugh out loud !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’d love an updated skin care routine video, your skin looks so healthy and glowing lately ❤

[@snacknnap]

31:57 "STRETCHY💪😠" cracked me up idk why

[@EMILY4DAYS]

Gigi is so sweet. My youngest gets sedated because he's an whole entire wreck at the dentist, and it was just building. Now he doesn't mind or have anxiety. My older never had any issues... like, I could tell he looked a bit nervous, but stoicism kicked in. 😅 Me, I like to be gassed. 😊 The people coming towards my face is just over-the-top for me. Her free toothbrush request is adorable. Also, look at Felicity's baby feet curled up on the bed and her wide walking stance. 😍😍 Sooooo sweet! I tried the puff pastry pizza with zucchini and it was delish!

[@JennRobHall]

Vlog!!!! just got home from work, and sat down to do relax for a bit. Perfect timing!

[@AMDG_-nk2dp]

Ahhh Felicity is sooo cute and adorable. She was walking so good !!! So great 👍🌞

[@nicoletinsley7354]

I know exactly what you mean with the labels Jess! I have the unicorn ones for daughter and gamer ones for my son. Love all your videos and content.

[@kizgold85]

It could be sensory issues. My son was fine with things I thought would be painful & too much for him, but anything put in his mouth with any texture or stickiness & he would lose it.

[@vavavath]

You are NOT a bad parent- my kids had lots of cavities one time, the dentist said those baby teeth are really susceptible to citric acid, so juice,gummy things,etc. I started using ProBiora probiotics for me and the kids and the next two times we went- NO CAVITIES! I think it really helped because we’re still horrible about flossing the kids😬

[@marisabarci6683]

[@aimerscat]

yesss i love when you post right as baby goes down for a nap and its time to do dishes/laundry 👏🏻

[@amyr4944]

Yesss to laughing gas! 🙌🏼 Also what helped my girls when they were little is that there were so many of their favorite shows that had a dentist/filling episode. So I’d always have them watch them before we went to the dentist. And then just explained everything again. Gigi seems like the type that likes to have allll the details, so maybe it would help to go step by step through it all. Then when the dentist or hygienist is doing something different you can tell her “ok Gigi this is the part where they are going to put the cotton ball in your cheek to keep everything clean and dry from spit. And next they are going to put the special princess tooth filler in your tooth.” Whatever works am I right lol. It is so hard going through these things but you’re doing great♥️

[@imscanon]

Once again rocking the glowy beautiful, even w/o makeup. You're turning the clock back over there.

[@elizabethsproles3923]

Jessica, I've got a tip about the Maybelline skin tint. Don't use any type of glowy primer. I tried it that way and it too broke apart on my nose but without, it's been great.

[@Danielle-uw5df]

Color Box- We got one for our kids at Christmas a couple years ago and they LOVED it. It was a surprise Christmas morning with two boxes of jumbo crayons. Awesome wow factor on Christmas morning for $30ish.

WOW I really love the way your skin loves in that skin tint! You have such beautiful skin! Too bad the product separates throughout the day though. I can totally relate. I don’t have oily skin but anything too hydrated doesn’t late in me.

[@Reiliferei]

whatever mascara you been wearing looks amazing. I have that exact computer stand, it's great.

[@jessicabyars3412]

As someone that works as a dental assistant, that’s usually when kids lose it! It’s either the cotton in their mouth or the taste of the materials were using. Laughing gas will definitely help.

The earrings you had on when outside are so cute. They look like a flower. Where are they from? Thank you

[@Lesh004]

My son had to go under for cavities. Flossing was what got us as well! The pediatric dentist chose to do 7 caps because he said that ensures fillings don’t fall out. Our son occasionally grinds his teeth so that was a worry. Not to mention it was the only person in a 3 hr radius who would work on our then 3yr old. It was a very expensive mistake on our part. I also don’t remember ever flossing as a kid either. And I barely had any cavities until adulthood. So apparently kids must have a lot more hidden sugars in their diet now days. 🤷‍♀️

[@amandakesterson224]

Something my dentist told us was kids used to drink more tap water. There is fluoride in tap water but so many people have switched over to purified water which has no fluoride that more and more children are having cavities.

[@relavelmakeupbags]

Your videos are not only entertaining but also educational and have given me the joy of growing up.

oh yes!! it's going to be a great day :) i love you bestie, it is been a minute and we miss you :)

[@libbytissicino]

We love our blackstone- I can’t believe y’all have gone this long without one! Especially since you already cook with cast iron so you’re used to having to season and maintain it. We love doing pancakes, eggs and bacon- it’s so easy!

What earrings are you wearing at the beginning of the video when you are talking about the drugstore makeup? They are so cute!

[@karennicholson4167]

I like the skin tint but I mix it with my BB cream and it is great! Lasts through my workout, not too matte or too glowy, and stays all day. I use one pump of the skin tint and two small pumps of the BB cream. My husband just got the Blackstone 4 burner and he loves it! Plus it doesn't heat up the house in the summer.

[@gretchennarvaez4225]

Blackstone also has an indoor version that I love especially during the winter

Hi Jess!! Such a wonderful vlog!! It was so great seeing all of your precious family!! Seeing Felicity walking was amazing, and so precious! It brought back memories of my 3 Sons taking their first steps. They're all in their 30's now. 😢 Gigi's such a big girl now, with her big girl bed! Time goes by so fast! God bless you and your beautiful family, Jess!! Take care! ❤

[@stephb3321]

I was a fairly heavy weight lifter up until about last Christmas, when I experienced a wrist injury. Since then, I’ve had to dial back on the amount of weight. My PT suggested experimenting with more reps, less weight. Holy cow, talk about a challenge! Where I used to do 20 lb bicep curls, 12 reps, I now do 15 reps with 12 lb. Still a challenge, but easier on the joints. You’re doing it right!

[@fosterk45]

Iced americano with a pump or two of white chocolate is so good too!!

[@amandakesterson224]

Something you may need to consider, Gigi may metabolize anesthetic at a faster rate. I metabolize anesthetic at TRIPLE the rate of the average person. No one ever believes me, dentists, anesthesiologists, nurses. Finally a dentist believed me and gave me double the anesthetic and decreased the scope of work per session. The little paper thing they have you bite on hit my nerve in a way that sent lightening and numbness through my jaw. I was too young to describe it when it first happened.

[@girliegirlbuffy6139]
