Whoaaa I didn't even realise your editor started on your videos! Your videos still feel like you're doing them which means she is doing an AMAZING job. Congrats editor, you've captured the same vibes of Jessie that we always had 💜

[@sara31773]

Love your vlogs. I miss Gigi but respect your wish to keep her off camera. You’re doing the right thing. Also my daughter did the same when she transitioned to a big girl bed. She was afraid to get up on her own so she would call when she wanted to get up.

[@Jenn-715]

Just said the same. I should read first 😂

[@lisaluft520]

As an oily skin girl, I am always fascinated watching people love the dewy look. It's what I fight all day. Lol. Not that I want full on matte, but not grease ball. Just give me some skin finish.

[@CocosMama100]

I was having an off morning… just feeling somewhere between sad and anxious. I immediately started feeling better 5 minutes into this video. You are smart, friendly, entertaining…. and your expressive nature is comforting. Thank you for sharing your life with us and making my day 💓

[@patrices8861]

I’m glad that you were able to get an editor to give you some time back for other things. Your editor did a great job at making this video feel cohesive to past videos.

[@MariaCristina-zb1gh]

The Matte & Poreless was my favorite for YEARS. The best part was it was like $5 something at target and I went through sooo many bottles of it. It was never matte on me, much more satin-like. I even got my mom on it and she still uses it to this day!

[@tammyherrera7262]

Now that u r working outside of ur home, has chores become this daunting task u have to do? Do u miss being at home and getting things done around the house? Or has being away from home has u looking forward going back to it at the end of the day?

[@tiffp323]

I use Maybelline matte and poreless on my t-zone almost every time I wear foundation. L’Oréal pro glow everywhere else is my go to. That combo never lets me down.

[@shellyneedham3947]

Gigi's little bed with all her toys in it made my heart happy❤️

[@shelbybell6207]

yess parks and rec is such a good show, honestly very underrated. I actually did my personality psychology final on a character analysis of Leslie Knope haha, it was so fun to do!

[@hafsamoiz7014]

I did mine on cersei lannister from GOT🤣

[@mokachick]

Omg I'd love to read that!! Love Leslie 💖

[@daniellereid01]

Your vlogs are some of my absolute favorites. They're right up there with Tyler's, lol. You may have already done this, but I'd love to know your favourite Autumn lipsticks and nail colours as you always look so polished and the colours are exactly what I want for myself. Lots of love to you all xox

[@katrozeboom]

Your hair looked so gorgeous in that half pinned back and curled section!

[@LizzaLee]

My oldest daughter waited for permission to get out of the bed when we moved her up to the big girl bed, too. It was adorable.

[@heathergraff6740]

My oldest daughter did the same thing… she used to call to me and ask if she could get out of bed until she was 7! I cherish the memory of her calling to me each morning..especially since her younger brother was an expert escape artist at 18 months! 😂

[@mandiexo]

You guys have the cutest most laid back relationship 🥰

[@kelly82485]

Yes I absolutely LOVE them! I love both of them so I absolutely love their joint vlogs and I miss them SO SO much!

[@karennicholson4167]

I am so glad you got an editor for your videos. You look so much more relaxed and happy. Love your videos!

[@jessicapeterson8832]

Just wanted to say I'm loving watching all of your vlogs! I love that you have been doing them more now.

[@rdnck7wmn]

So freaking jealous. Hopefully Gigi continues chilling and waiting for you. My darling three year old has repeatedly said he “loves getting up in the dark time”. 🤦‍♀️ 6 am that kid is up and out of his bed, tromping down the hall ready to loudly start his important day. I miss the crib. 🤪

[@kayladocter6081]

On Maybelline’s website/Amazon they sell the foundation in a squeezy pouch, like Gigi’s yogurt. For me I feel like that would be easier especially for traveling.

[@donnaregan5252]

My son is almost 30 and I remember how proud he was of his toddler bed. Scary how they suddenly have access to everything. Thanks for a fun video!

[@coopernat1]

Omg that’s precious that Gigi was staying in bed because she thought she was supposed to until she hears otherwise 🥰 I just saw the part with aaaaaalll her toys in her bed, she sure did figure that one out!

[@basicmom3219]

My go to foundation everyday!!! Mix it with covergirl olay advance radiance, it adds a tiny bit of glow and a little more coverage.

[@champagenroses]

I was surprised to see all of Gigi's favorite toys in her bed, Lol She has a lovely personality ♥ Glad to see Tyler as well.. always smiling. Take care everyone

[@elizabethgoltiao6507]

LOVE that you have an editor to make your life better! We appreciate you, new editor!

[@signcancer623]

I totally LOL’d when you ever showed how many toys were in Gigi’s bed!!😂🤣

[@joannawarrens5117]

Me too

[@PrincessCelESF]

Blues Clues..l was a teenager and I loved all the characters and the mail song. LOL No younger siblings, I am an only child, I genuinely watched it by myself. 🤣

[@Patti-1962]

OH MY GOODNESS, Jessica... I JUST ordered this foundation and it arrives tomorrow😲 How did you do that??? I won't list all the products I own because of your recommendations, but it's a LOT!!❣️❣️

[@kimscott7269]

Blues Clues was great when it started. My oldest loved it, and he’s 20 now!! It’s not what it used to be, but same with Sesame Street and all the old kids shows that are like 25 and older. I’m glad we watched them back then.

[@kcaudill23456]

I love your vlogs, you always talk about you tubers that are just comforting to watch and that’s your channel for me. My job can be pretty stressful and I really have been enjoying watching some old vlogmas videos on your channel while I work.

[@jLo4sho]

I LIVED to watch Blues Clues between classes in college. I dont know why but it was my jam!

[@ginamartin5426]

SO Happy for you, for getting the editor🙌🏻. As always, we love the vlogs!! ❤️

[@michelleb5184]

I recently picked up the Maybelline Fit Me again and I’m in love. Perfect shade match, lasts all day, and looks very natural. So pretty.

[@marilynsouthwick6807]

We finally got hello fresh and we had the spinach tomato gnocchi you had. Ummmmmm yes. I always kind of wondered could the food really be that good. I love it as do my 4 kiddos. My hubby gets purple carrot (vegan meal plan). The mental relief and waste of food is gone! Thank you for the awesome suggestion!

[@stephaniemontgomery1997]

That foundation is my GO TO!!!! I’ve even gotten my momma wearing it. I’ve had a cousin complement it. It’s so good!! My mom and I are oily gals and she messed up once and bought the dewy kind (I think the writing is orange) and she said you definitely have to get the blue one!!!

[@corriesites2431]

I loved hello fresh, but I had to cut carbs. They have a sister company called Green Chef that has paleo,keto and gluten free meals. I am enjoying it too.

[@stephhernandez7772]

Ooo good to know!

[@measbeauty]

Hello fresh has all of those to now

[@tabathaowens4140]

Girl your lashes and brows are looking great. That serum you use is seriously working!!!

[@maryjojaggar9254]

Love seeing Tyler too! 😂 Miss our Gigi moments, but we get some glimpses here and there!

[@janetwilliams4475]

I miss the entire family vlogs. I don't watch as much as I use to. Which is odd because I'm not a kid person. I understand leaving gigi out, though.

[@alicecumba6024]

I always need to watch any video of yours with a cup of coffee ❤🍂 feels like home

[@becm963]

I agree with you on the color match. If my foundation matches perfectly, I automatically gravitate back to that foundation. I can manipulate the coverage and finish. I can add moisturizer to make it a tinted moisturizer. I can sheer it out with a sponge. I can use different primers.

[@justynawisniewska1213]

You should look into either getting foundation mixers (they come in darkening, lightening and even some that give foundations more of an olive tone) or just mixing foundations - 2 different ones or having 2 shades of your favourite formula. The latter is what I do most of the time. I have 2 shades of the Missha BB cream in mini bottles and just mix them accordingly. That way when I get a tan I don't even need to buy anything new, I just switch proportions.

[@becm963]

@@justynawisniewska1213 I have not found an olive toned mixer. What brand? I tried mixing blue into my foundation, but it never looks right. Then, I put more yellow and brown…. I am terrible at this process, but I keep trying. 😀

[@justynawisniewska1213]

@@becm963 Nyx used to have one, I'm using one by a brand local to me so can't really recommend. My mistake I did not know NYX had discontinued the line in which they carried the olive one unfortunately :(

[@becm963]

@@justynawisniewska1213 Thanks for getting back with me. We olive gals are left out once again. 🙁

[@justynawisniewska1213]

@@becm963 Yeah unfortunately, they have a new range now that comes in a dropper but it comes in white, dark, warm and cool. The warm one is definitely more of a yellow tone.

[@jocelynsloan7801]

I’ve found for the HG blushes I like a brush where I can buff it on. So stiff enough to pick up color, but moveable enough to move it around my face. The MAC 129 works well for me.

[@cherylhoneycutt7553]

I heard you mention Shop Miss A. I would love to hear what you have purchased from there and how you liked them. Thanks!

[@paulinej24]

They have the BEST "Beauty Blenders" The pink ones are so bouncy and I love how it Blendes my foundation!

[@kateeemclaughlin]

Carting while intoxicated 😂😂 I always love your vlogs. I know sometimes people aren’t the biggest fans but I love them❤️

[@johnniethompson5591]

I’ve used that foundation for YEARS. I try others and go immediately back to this one.

[@allyandtysmom9410]

Love your vlogs and it’s so nice to have an upbeat video to watch with so much heaviness in the world right now. Thanks for making me smile today!!

[@somewherenorth4092]

I own the series (Parks and Rec) on DVD, and I just pulled them all out to put in a storage case. I discovered the set was missing one of the discs! 😭 Eta: I loved that story about Gigi and her new bed. So sweet.

[@MadelineDellaMora]

Love Gigi‘s morning routine, how adorable!

[@lupeduran2106]

Amazon sells pumps for the glass bottle and sells pouches for matte and poreless.

[@tammyherrera7262]

I have to say ur editor is doing a great job! The videos look extremely similar to urs!👍

[@hannahjacobs3416]

Also for anyone who’s needing a similar blush brush to really pack on colour, but would still prefer the angled brush shape check out the sephora pro angled brush..it had the shape of angled brush but a similar density to the Laura mercier brush Jessica’s using here…you can get that same colour intensity but the shape also really hugs the cheek bones just right so that blush almost acts as a natural contour and really helps to define the cheek bones in a very subtle way

[@carolinewatts1985]

You explaining the GiGi new bed story was beyond precious!! Made my mom heart swell! Kids are so stinking cute!! So glad your editor is working out. So happy for you.

[@taycharlese]

Your makeup looks super good in this video!

[@maritzacamero1221]

Gigi’s sweet little voice and then you turn on the light and see what she’d been up to 😆 that was priceless.

[@anneblank592]

Pinocchio “I like it”. I burst out laughing.

[@ashleytune1598]

i just had to share that the hellofresh sesame beef tacos were on the menu for this week and im sooo excited to try them!

[@alisonrichard624]

I have a super distinct memory of when I realized I could get out of bed whenever I wanted. I think I was around 4 years old and I couldn’t sleep one night so I decided I was going to play with my toys. I only lasted about 5 minutes because I knew I wasn’t supposed to be doing it 😂 I laughed so hard seeing all those toys in Gigi’s bed 😂 sweet girl ❤️

[@fleminga0106]

Noggin is the bomb. I wish my kids were still that age and I could watch those cute shows! 😆 Man I miss Moose and Zee! The candy corn song. So many memories!!!

[@KenzieRaee27]

I missed Tyler’s summer vlogs with the garden and cooking!!!! Tell him to start feeling it again!!! Lol

[@KenzieRaee27]

Also stripes looks so dang good on you and it’s not even fair!!!

[@katie3750]

Love watching your vlogs and seeing glimpses of home. I'm from the west side of Indy and miss seeing home sometimes 🙂

[@autumnbailey381]

One of my absolute best parenting decisions was getting convertible cribs for both of my kiddos. They start at crib and can go to toddler bed to twin to full. I love it!! I’ve got one in toddler mode now and it’s been so nice.

[@raeana_mari]

The way I laughed after she said “I put all of them in there” and saw the next clip 🤣🤣

[@sarahjo6807]

I'm 43 now and I remember watching Blue's Clues when I was 23 with my firstborn and I enjoyed it then.

[@jackie_jrml]

Same. I’m 42 and recall being about 20 and babysitting and I loved it. The cutest!!!

[@michelleaustin5448]

So glad you hired an editor! You look so much happier!

[@CherylFord1]

Paw Paw sponges are THE BEST!

[@rachelwinberry1271]

All Gigi’s toys in her little bed! And her sweet little voice! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@angiec8784]

I love the Maybelline fit me dewy and they do sell a pump on Amazon for it for cheap. I had the fit me dewy and the fit me matte and the pumps on Amazon I got was a two-pack for $8. Easy

[@Agmahak]

The fit me foundation actually comes with a pump in india!! Btw your hair looked amazing throughout the whole video 😍😍❤️

[@milivanilli1979]

Your hair looks beautiful half up and half down when you’re talking about Hello Fresh!! So pretty

[@ShopwithSarah]

I could not tell someone else edited your video. They did a fantastic job!

[@cristinitaandco]

Love all the recommendations and Pinochio .

[@shaynaleann1054]

Maybelline matte & poreless is my go to foundation when I need something that I know is going to look great😊

[@MGH776]

How is the coverage on that one I have combo skin 💓

[@dheredia2789]

On your suggestion I bought 2 of the l'oreal ultimate shine lip glosses. Love them. But also love the color lips you have on today too!

[@ltejle]

Same thing happened to me with Bath & BodyWorks...placed an online order and the next day got a great coupon, ahhh! Always enjoy these vlogs

[@elenamarie272]

When our boys were toddlers (they are now 20 and 19), Noggin was free and they absolutely loved it! Great choice!!

[@jadefamily6577]

My 3 year old too, it’s the cutest! “Mommy, I’m awake!” Hahaha ❤️

[@daralynnhale1565]

thank you for all the toddler tips on eating and play time things!!! We have twin grandsons just fixing to turn 2 and some of the breakfast or lunch suggestions for my picky eaters have really helped when you mention what Gigi loves!!!!! You have no idea!!!!!

[@stephaniejewell7568]

I just Tryed blue clues for my 3 year old and she was so cute answering him thanks for reminding me

[@melanistar]

We used a toddler alarm clock, the light turns green and they know they can get up. You set it for any time.

[@carriegarrett1340]

Having a pretty good day and it just got better!

[@NatalieYTFoster]

Thanks for the hourglass blush tip. I have a brush like that but nothing to use it for and don’t reach for my hourglass blush because it’s not as pigmented.

[@liz54321]

I completely agree about foundation color affecting how much you like it. I have one that feels like it have so much silicone in it. But, it matches my skin perfectly, so that is what I buy.

[@jenfarina1892]

This vlog made me so happy! So glad your liking having an editor and love Gigis toy hoarding in her bed. Lol Might have to grab the Matte & Poreless foundation again. I remember getting compliments on it when I used to have it years ago but going to try to work through some things I have first.

[@leahwhite115]

Jessica, my daughter works for The TSA, she said that the sensory packs are so small, with so little fluid, that they would pass through security just fine! Just thought you would like to know!

[@amaizeingndn]

I randomly bought that hourglass blush last week and it is hands down the best blush I’ve ever owned 🥰

[@sanavijay8430]

Girl I love that blush on you!!!!! When you were doing the dinner portion the blush is still in your face and looks flawless and love the makeup overall, looks very natural and you look very pretty 😍. I am gonna snag the foundation, love the natural look!!!

[@valeriexoxo]

🤫Never say you’ll pay any amount Jess! They’re listening💛Btw, I’m so glad you eat carbs too!!

[@christyboyle2570]

Gorgeous blush on you! Love your excitement

[@Lynsi325]

Fun toddler thing for winter. Bring snow inside in a bowl or on a cookie sheet. Use the play doh toys to make mini snowmen. My kids LOVED “mr. Potato head snowballs” ☺️

[@clairekennedy8767]

I just bought that physicians formula blush. So excited to try it. I love the loreal age perfect concealer so I should try the serum foundation... fit me is still one of my favorite foundations 😋

[@millylarz]

I remember blues clues as I started babysitting, let me tell you it was a life saver and it was actually fun to do with the kids too. Jeez that means I was 11 or 12😭, why am I olding so hard this year🥺🤦‍♀️🤣.

[@c.b.7669]

Fit me is my OG fav!!!! 🥰

[@tuniemert]

Oh, and you can get the fit me foundation in a plastic squeeze pouch that uses less plastic than the cap on the glass bottle!

[@toriholliday]

loooovw this style vlog, and super cute video Jess!!💛

[@chandachism]

I love Blue Clues. I stopped watching when Steve left the show. And btw I was in high school when I watched this. I just really liked the interaction with the audience as well as the mail song. Also, I watched Nora the Explorer with my littl cousins while in college.

[@clairekennedy8767]

Omg I have those hourglass blushes too and it’s so pretty in the pan but I never use it 😂

[@melodygoad9146]

My favorite triscuit flavor is the balsamic vinegar. So good!

[@alycakes_23]

I LIVEEEE for your vlogs, they’re so calming. It feels like I’m just hanging out with y’all 😂

[@BrwnEydGrl878]

Parks and Rec is the best! I can’t even believe how many times a week I reference that show. Hahaha that and the office (obviously).

[@emilylanglois1806]

The maybeline fit me smooth and dewy has been my go-to for years! Buttttt you just convinced me to try that matte formula!

[@Karen-DeMars]

I just started re-watching Parks and Recreation too! BTW, Rob Lowe and show writer Alan Yang just started a Parks rewatch podcast called Parks and Recollection … really enjoyable! 😊
