I would love an Etsy finds video! A great way to support small businesses and have really neat, original products!

[@Michelle-pd2fr]

Yessss!

[@AmandaJMontes]

Agreed! I would much rather support small businesses over Amazon!

[@ezrasgrl]

Absolutely agree!

[@anniesh1955]

Me too!

[@traci222]

I agree with you all too. I'm not that familiar with Etsy so I'd love to see a video about it. 😊

[@triciag7040]

Seeing the glimpse of Tyler was like seeing an old friend. Thank you again for sharing your lives with us. Can't wait to start giving some love to Tyler's channel again! BTW, ordered the sweatshirt...can never have enough...comfy + Harry Potter = magic!

[@lisaanderson2900]

Yes!!

[@mariamaldonado3879]

So great to see Tyler- I miss your weekly vlogs! Your glasses are adorable too!!!

[@DisneyLissy]

Their vlogs were my favorite! I feel lost without them 😭

[@skylarblannin2026]

I totally miss their banter, but I get their instinct to not want to become “family vloggers.” For sure.

Same! It’s not the same 😭

Agreed! I miss Tyler and the interactions between you two. But understand the decisions you make to do what is right for you.

[@LaLaDances7]

I miss Tyler and you in your vlogs i still tune in for ones i am interested in but those were my favorite you were like a cute little sitcom also loved your book review one maybe this summer you guys could do another one of those st least

[@gabrielapalma2734]

Why did she decided to stop doing them? I really dont know! Somebody update me!

[@kelseybaker9839]

I will say I truly appreciate the research you do on products you use. It is so frustrating when a youtuber mentions a product and says I don’t know how much it is or if it is still available. Your extra work is seen and it is valued!! 💕

[@eschrad]

Tyler’s only been out of the blogs for a few months and he’s already like “what do I say?!” 😂😂 There’s always “welcome to the cutting board!”

[@lisaanderson2900]

When he popped up, I said (out loud to no one) Tyler! lol

[@sarahjo6807]

I miss the bread journey!!!!

[@tinakaminsky3477]

What about watching the garden grow. We need to know

[@eschrad]

I miss his home improvement projects… I really wanted to know about those flat disk pot lights for the 4th bedroom/his old home office! I’m invested here! 😂

I feel like I’m mourning the loss of your old channel. I totally understand but it’s funny how emotionally invested I can be to “strangers” XO💛

It’s changed so much from when it was JamBeauty 89 🥺

[@stephaniepowers-tanguay6346]

I had my daughter in part-time daycare from 6 months old so she could socialize, but I still cried when she finally went off to kindergarten at the “big kids’ school”. It’s so emotional when they reach these milestones! Now she’s 11 going on 16, and I cherish every moment with her.

[@chellecopley67]

oh Jess, I love ALL of your videos but your vlogs are my absolute faves. I truly feel like I am getting to hang with my good friend for the day and it just feels great to see this side of you and Tyler too!

[@heatherchase8935]

Can I just say, I really appreciate that captions are available on your videos right away. Some people don’t enable captions for a while after they have uploaded.

[@caylincarter7934]

Definitely interested in the Etsy video!

[@raeana_mari]

Loved getting to see Tyler and Gigi in this vlog! I’ve missed the whole family 😊

[@helenkelly272]

I swear Jessica, I'm 55 years old ( so I have quite a few years of coffee drinking on you! ) but every morning I can, (3-4 days a week) I roll out of bed and fast walk in my neighborhood for 1 hour in the morning. Usually by 5:30 am. I do have coffee when I get home, but my body doesn't "need" it at that point. Don't give up on AM exercise. Those days I get out for my walk, are my most productive low calorie days. It just sets the tone for me. Love your channel! 😘

[@martinmendoza2085]

Ughh I’m jealous of Jessicas posture while at the computer. My back could never haha 😆❤️

[@whisperitza7912]

soo great seeing the whole family again 🌺 makes me want to re watch old december vlogs

[@DisneyLissy]

I’ve been 🤣

[@Gardnertino]

I have a 20 yr old, and a 7 year old. I cried so hard for both of their first days of preschool. It’s the best thing for them tho ❤️

[@caitlinbjorgan8752]

Please do an Etsy video! There are so many unique finds on that site

[@Vanessa199005]

Rose hip oil is my holy grail for skincare.. its helped my skin so much. I have rosacea and had some scarring. It really has been a game changer for me.

[@stephmizner7387]

It would be SO AMAZING if you did a Etsy makeup try-on! I’ve tried a bunch of *faves* ANDDD you’re spreading the word to support small businesses, too! (Blushed Gold from Tracy’s Powder Room is.... epic.)

[@perfectlyimperfect2368]

My parents were the same in regards to preschool. My grandma lives next door so she kept us when both parents had to work. But they wanted to have us get social interaction and prepare for kindergarten so I went to preschool at 4 or 5 but it wasn't everyday then the following year started kindergarten. Like you said once the school hamster wheel starts you're on it for awhile so my parents actually wanted to hold off on sending us to any kind of school setting and enjoy time at home/grandma's.

[@mariaculotta6993]

I always feel bad just watching your decluttering/cleaning videos while just lazily laying on my couch. So tonight I cleaned my brushes so I felt productive 😆 place looks great!

[@reneflorimonte4283]

Yes!! Would love to see the Etsy finds vlog. I also love the rose hip oil. I feel it also does good things to my face!

[@p3nny4nn]

I think having a new office/work space that is NOT at home would encourage me to work out at home (like your basement situation) more often. You once said you thrive on routine, and this one looks great on you! Love and light, Jess!

[@shelbysmith8655]

Love your sweatshirt, nice to see Tyler, I miss you both vlogging

[@RAE.ofSunshine]

Jessica I adore your videos especially DITL. KZbin doesn't show me your videos in my main feed and I don't know why. The only good thing about that is when I check your channel once a week I get to watch 3 entire videos from you 😍😍😍 have a great day Braun fam

[@JulesandJax]

Love the raw preschool moment! Made my childless self cry with you.

[@MountainPearls]

Jessica, do you have a crave brush to use in the shower (and after)? They are absolutely amazing and you don’t have to use a de-tangler at all! I am able to just use an oil (away from the roots for hair health and shine). They are amazing!

[@jamiemaxcold9325]

I workout in the morning it sucks really bad at first, but it gets better. Get yourself some pre-workout. Ghost is my favorite

[@Beautyjunkiesheena]

I absolutely love the revlon hair dryer brush

[@mlane95126]

I think it was super smart to get an apartment instead of an office space especially since it’s just the two of you and you’ll likely have your daughter some times!

[@debrabritt1581]

Would you consider putting covers on the back and side blue couch pillows? I think it would look brighter and not so blue gray. Navy would make a lux background for your beauty.

[@maryboucher9699]

Love your vlogs Jessica! I watch your videos when I’m dreading getting out of bed. You help motivate me to get out of bed and start the day. ☀️

[@evanhoge2065]

I literally saved this video to watch during my daughters nap. That’s how much I love you and your channel. Like hanging out with a friend!

[@ambermullins6158]

Ooooo yessss!!! Would LOVE to see an Etsy inspired video! 💜

[@kristenodowd2058]

Literally been checking KZbin all afternoon for your Tuesday vid! 😂. How about a Q&A video with you and Tyler?! Much love! 💕 💕

[@magicinmichigan]

Spent this whole video just going "Yep. Yes! YES!!" I get overwhelmed when I'm overloaded and just randomly clean out sections of my house all year. Love that you did that for your daughter and in your new office space. I'm also like your daughter and can easily just do part of a snack or treat and save the rest for later - good trait to have in an overindulgent world! Oh, and then your HP sweatshirt and zooming with Oreos. We're always well stocked with Oreos. I would love to see your Etsy finds in a video. People are so creative and I love to see the random things that might just be a perfect something.

[@celestial_peace]

That Harry Potter sweater is everything

[@SerRena01]

I always buy my gifts from Etsy! The quality is always so good and I love being able to support smaller businesses.

[@ThruTheLukingGlass17]

I’m OBSESSED w the Kopari Birthday Suit balm. It’s so pretty and it smells so good and feels so great on the lips. Best lip product I’ve tried to date!

[@llvluis]

I am a morning person and I enjoy working out at morning, but I know is difficult for many people, but the BEST is just get rid of it early and your are good to go!! At the afternoon, after work for me is almost impossible, always something to do

[@Megan_0215]

I use to dislike vlogs... now they are my FAV!! Miss the cutting board. Yes to Etsy buys!!!!

Welcome to the morning workout crew! I workout at 5am every day! It gets your heart pumping!

[@crumbcake9101]

Life is really putting me through the ringer right now and I'm basically binge watching all your videos because it's somehow therapeutic. I actually look forward to waking up in the morning so I can grab some coffee and sit down to do some makeup while watching literally any of your videos that my feed will show me 💕

[@irrac6]

I have the Revlon One-Step hair dryer and love it. I agree I find it best to let my air dry about 75% dry before using it. I then just touch it up, mostly around my face, with a curling iron or straightener. It's so fast I won't use anything else.

[@ashleyfarrell1478]

Is it just me, or does everything EVA NYC make for hair smell incredible??? Love the 3-in-1 spray as well as the dry shampoo. Need to try this leave-in cream 😍

[@barbarawright9123]

This was so much fun! Memoirs and "day in the life" gigs are absolutely my jam. Thanks for the makeup mess, Jess! Love that type of disarray!

[@SophieKavanaghStyle]

Hey Jess just thought I’d mention to be careful and check your lease if the people you rented from arent already aware you’re doing your business out of there. Not sure how it is in the US but here in Ireland they’re super strict that you can’t use residential property when renting to us as a place for your business as it would’not be fit for purpose. As I said they’re just super strict over here so just wanted to make you aware to be careful in case it’s the same☺️

[@jennlynn212]

They technically aren’t doing any business out of there (no customers/advertising the address as a business) they’re just filming videos and editing/office type work so it wouldn’t be a problem :)

[@SophieKavanaghStyle]

@@jennlynn212 as they're using it as office space primarily that would be considered commercial not residential over here in Ireland because buildings are classified in a use class (residential, retail, office etc) obvs I dont know what its like in the US but just wanted to make sure Jess was covered in case it was the same. It affects building insurance and stuff if a property isnt being used for its purpose, lots of boring legal stuff 🙈😂 but it was just a heads up cause most people wouldn't know that would still be classed as a business

[@coreyplumley5268]

Girl. I’m so proud and impressed that you gathered all the tiny pieces to the toys 😂😂 that is a TASK

[@amandaengastra1496]

YES it is!! I need to do that again.....might need a glass of wine and the Office to watch.....

[@rhiannon4081]

With the Revlon hair dryer/brush I use a micro fiber hair towel first (straight from the shower), I have fine hair but a lot of it and after 15 mins in the hair towel I can dry my hair with it in 5 mins. I just do my skin care and quick makeup while my hair is the towel to save time.

[@imscanon]

Jess, take the Pipcorn and pour some into a short glass. "Drink" them so you don't have to pick them up and get your hands cheezy and touching your keyboard. Best tip I was ever told. LOL

[@itsjessicabraun]

Wait THIS IS GENIUS

[@bluesoldierette]

@@itsjessicabraun I messaged you on IG about the blow dryer brush and the hair breakage it causes! Sorry to comment here but I wanted you to see this bc I’d hate for you to ruin your beautiful hair!

[@ariellalevine289]

So i loved this vlog but i really needed to come on here to say how much i loved the alaskan cruise vlogs on tyler’s channel. Comments are turned off, but the videos are getting me super hyped for my own trip on Norwegian Bliss and i just wanted to say thank you to both you and tyler

[@skylarblannin2026]

We had an Alaskan cruise canceled last year due to Covid, so I loved living vicariously through the vlogs. We are also inspired to do an Eastern seaboard car tour after watching those vlogs!

[@ariellalevine289]

Same! We were supposed to go last year for my birthday but covid had different plans. We just rebooked on Norwegian this time, and the vlogs are helping me get back into the travel mood (not that i needed much help)

[@debbyd5729]

When she said the workspace is an apartment, who else thought of the Michael Scott Paper Company from the Office? Also, the one-and-done type brush-hairdryers work best when the hair is at least ~80% dry. (I prefer the Hot Tools bc the bristles on the side of my Revlon bent with the heat). I strongly recommend towel drying with an Aquis towel. Pricy but worth it if your hair holds on to moisture and takes forever to dry like mine. 💜

[@wendymiller1494]

Love working out in the AM. It totally sets the tone for the day.

[@morgantaylor325]

YES to the Etsy finds video!!!

Hi Jess! I love ❤️ watching your Vlog videos!! They’re my favorite! Not going to lie, I miss Gigi & Tyler so much!! It’s just different w/ out them! :( I loved ❤️ the whole family package!!

[@shelley9263]

Love your new work space, Jessica! I didn’t cry when I put my Boys in Preschool, but Kindergarten, High School, and especially College, I cried a lot then!! Enjoy your precious time with GiGi, she’s so cute! Also, Preschool is so good for them to interact with their peers. 💞🌟

[@amandawilliams1380]

As I’m sitting here in the middle of eating my 3 pack of pipcorn cheese balls from Amazon….thank you. They are amazing. Love all your videos. 💕

[@itsjessicabraun]

😂😂😂 glad you love them too!!!

[@kellyrodriguez6160]

For the revlon styler, I don’t use it as my hair dryer and it does take some time (I have a lot of hair too) but I find small sections work best and I skip the cool setting - takes about the same time I’d take actually blow dryer my hair

[@monicatapia3903]

I would definitely love to watch an Etsy finds video. Most people don't think to do that. That's such a great idea. This is why I love your channel!!

Rose hip oil: Eden’s Garden. Big bottle and affordable enough to use on your body. Leaves my legs so hydrated!

[@debbieburkett99]

I love the Revlon dryer. My hair is thicker than what yours looks like and I let it dry in a towel for about 15 minutes and then I only use that dryer. It is amazing! ❤️

[@MomNTraining]

We just started our little girl in a Montessori school. They recommended that keeping the schedule the same everyday. So if we wanted to go part time, they recommended goin every morning or afternoon. But to go every day. We dove in and did full time and when we toured the school I BAWLED the entire time lol

[@melanieglover4779]

I have so many feelings on this video. First. Hi Jessie girl. Love you as always. Secondly. Hi Tyler. We miss you desperately and all your cooking and gardening and hubby around the house vlogs. But we know you wouldn’t be withholding yourself from us if you didn’t need it. Thirdly. The more I see the workspace and less of your family it is bittersweet. My bf and I just had this conversation the other Day. for a long time in our relationship we shared everything online like every trip we took, every meal we made, every date night we went on, every movie and show we watched; and it was just a lot. And we aren’t even big-time KZbinrs like you guys LOL. We realize that we were so consumed and sharing everything that we weren’t leaving anything for ourselves and it was such an eye-opening experience when we realized that on our own and withdrew from that a little bit. then when we realized it together that we had each done this on our own separately how much it meant that we weren’t sharing every single moment of our day and life in our relationship online. So it makes me happy that you guys are finding separation and you guys are finding individuality in a sense with work and home, but said Bc you feel like my family and I miss you guys lol. Fourthly (that might not be right lol) YOU GO GIRL WORKING OUT IN THE MORNING! I recently found out I was pregnant and I am active duty military but I don’t want the military to know I’m pregnant yet. If you know how this works you know if you don’t it’s OK. But, I know that until I am identified as pregnant with the military I still need to be in shape and maintain my weight and I would work out in the afternoons because most mornings I am up and getting ready for work by five have to be there by 5:45 so it just didn’t work for me. But I also know it’s 7:00 PM and I’m just now getting home from work, so after work doesn’t work either. I’ve come to the realization if I don’t work out in the morning 9.5 times out of 10 I won’t work out in the afternoon either. Therefore, not reaching my fitness goals. So I definitely feel your pain Lastly, you know what’s best for Gigi. You’ve shown that time and time again when people try to give you parenting advice and it just didn’t jive with you and Tyler‘s wants as parents. And even more so, the decision not to show her, definitely shows that you know what’s best for her. And especially being a teacher I know you know the benefits of putting her in preschool or something similar. And she’s so smart! She would thrive Love you both. Thanks for letting me leave this novel of a comment.

[@amber_leigh05]

I was crying with you when you was talking about preschool. My boy is one and has a ways to go before I start down that path but it makes me blubber up regardless! I dread the day 😩 It’s good for them but is so hard on momma.

New subscriber, and this is the first vlog I’ve seen. When my kids were little I worked out at nap time, or right when my husband got him. I homeschooled, and could never give up morning prep time, my mind was distracted with all the to do’s. This was the first time I watched a blog, and super fun following you. Thanks for sharing.

[@blackhawks8368]

I have been working out in the morning for the last few years. If I don't at that time I don't get it done. I also have two kids and I'm up before them and get a little bit of time to myself before the craziness of the day begins. If you keep at it you'll adjust. I also drink Amino Energy (watermelon tastes like watermelon jolly ranchers!) It helps get my energy going!

[@andreahayes8400]

I'm a slow motion morning person too I like to sit with my cup of coffee and "come to" I guess.

[@BubblyViolin11]

Awww I LOVE working out in the morning. It energizes me for the rest of the day and leaves the whole day open for other things to do 😊 Also for toys and other donations, if there's a women's shelter near where you live, those are great places to drop stuff off. The need for goods at those shelters is higher so they're less likely to send most of their donations to the dump like Goodwill does.

[@juxtaposition_and_dogs]

I am SO glad to see GiGi still! I support you in any choice you make for your family, but I was absolutely a little bummed to hear you wanting to limit access (my job also makes me thoroughly understand it on every level). I love to still see her as I feel a bit like an aunt from afar! 🤗🖤 Love your content long time! 🙃

How lovely to see a glimpse of Tyler! I miss the vlogs, though I totally get why it was too much. I can’t believe Gigi is getting so big. I have a 4 and a 2 year old and even though the days can be long, time just flies by!! 😭
