When Jess said that her house was built 30ish years ago I was thinking oh wow so like 1970? And then I stopped and thought about it and realized that her house was probably built around 1990 and I was born in 1992 and I’m not okay. 🥲

[@spacecase8791]

I was born in 92 as well and still can't come to terms with the fact I'm almost 30 😂

[@vetgmacatmomfl2055]

Omg I was in college in 1992.😁

[@ttjoon1225]

Omg @Angela Maria….. me too! Totally! Lol! I thought…Oh yeah….the 70’s! 🤣

[@mokachick]

Hahaha I thought the 70s too and didn't even realise my mistake until I read your comment 😂 oh man time flies so fast!

[@stephhernandez7772]

Hahah yea, I was born 90 and was like oh...their house isn't that old 😆

[@perfectlyimperfect2368]

My parents were always together. Drove to and from work together(worked at the same place which is also how they met)spent evenings together. Went to the grocery store and church together. They just enjoyed being together and family has always been the most important thing to them. They did that for 32 years and were just so content and happy. Sadly my dad passed away going on 3 years ago in his mid 50s. I know my mom is so glad they did spend so much time together since they won't get to grow old together. And I'm so blessed that I had parents who put us and each other above everything.

[@debbyd5729]

That’s adorable! My parents are the same. Dad (a physician) had a small private practice and mom was his office manager. They didn’t drive together but once I was in junior high they worked together for the next 25 years. They do everything and go everywhere together. It’s sweet! 🥰 I’m so sorry about the loss of your dad. It sounds like he was a good man.

[@cinnamonlehto4292]

I’m so sorry for your loss. It sounds like your parents had many happy years together! ❤️

I am a puddle of tears now 😣 we had to put down our beagle on Friday. One of the things I've always enjoyed about your vlogs is getting to see Pinocchio. Somehow I did not expect to be so overwhelmed. It hurt, but seeing you love on your beagle boy gave me all the feels.

Oh girl, I work as a nanny for 2 and I also take care of their dog Willie. Been w the family for 7 years!!! Willie was also a part of my family. He’s been here while they went on vacations. I loved him w everything in me. He was a Pittie/boxer. They had to put him down last week. My heart hurts!!! Their house is sad w/o him around. He’s not tripping me on the steps. He’s not in my way while I make the kids beds. No begging for treats. May he be always in the sun and catching the squirrels. I am all busted up inside. We don’t get enough time w them. I follow a bunch of animals on Twitter and it makes me feel better.

[@kzottarelli]

I'm so sorry, my heart breaks for you. We had to put down our pittie of 12 yrs and just hearing when someone has to do that brings me to tears.

[@laisha6318]

As much as I love your content and look forward to them every week, take a break Jess!! you absolutely need and deserve it, I can't imagine filming and editing for 3 videos every week! We will all be here when you do decide to come back, rest ❤️ + also i don't understand why people get annoyed when you have sponsorships, i don't have any problems with them...on the contrary i’m very happy you're getting these sponsored deals !! tyler's hair looks like steve rogers' hair in avengers endgame lol (looks good!)

[@At0micAllison]

Spending evenings together as the default is NOT weird! Keep it in your routine so you don’t grow apart. (And maybe plan a weekly date night, but don’t forget to make a date night for yourself! Self care and nurturing relationships are both so important!)

[@wynter_skye7969]

I really appreciate how open and candid you are about everything including your mental health. So often we see KZbinrs and the "perfect" life they show on the internet and we start wondering why we can't be perfect like them. But when people are open and honest it really allows us to see that we're all the same with the same worries and fears and anxieties. It makes me (at least) not feel so alone! Enjoy your little mini break and don't sweat it, we'll be here when you come back

[@katerinarose880]

EVERYONE needs time off from work for their mental health. Enjoy time with your family Jess. 💜

[@christiandavidsonlamore6301]

Hello how are you doing my friend

[@stephb3321]

In the times that we’re currently living in, I don’t think you ever need to explain burnout or why you need to take time off for yourself and your family. I admire you for acknowledging it and your true followers on here will understand. Have a wonderful and restful downtime. We’ll all be here when you come back. ❤️

Yes, Tyler’s editing is amazing. His travel videos are legit travel channel quality. They need to give him his own show. The Alaska cruise videos were mind blowing. I hate that we can’t compliment him on his own channel so I’ll do it here!

[@kelly82485]

Omg! I HATE that we can't comment on his videos SO SO much! It drives me bonkers! I love commenting lol idk why but I do! And I know he says go to his IG and comment under the pic he posts for the vlog but it's not the same! I usually leave a couple comments as I'm actually watching the video so that doesn't work for me unfortunately! I also forget what I wanted to say 2 seconds later too. 🤪

[@elizabethleddy973]

I’ ve always wondered why we can’t comment on his vlogs!! I miss it too! Does anybody know why we can’t?

[@kelly82485]

@@elizabethleddy973 they said it was because YT dubbed it a "family channel" or something like that because they were showing Gigi a lot so I guess they turn off comments when there are children being shown a lot.

[@elizabethleddy973]

@@kelly82485 ohh I see. That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation! When I upload KZbin videos for teaching, it always asks me if the content is “geared towards children” because that changes a lot of the settings.

[@itsmariaalex]

Jess, you’re amazing. Over the last 1,5 year, you’ve become my number one person to watch on KZbin. You and your family brought so much joy to me during this difficult time. You take all the time you need, we’ll be there to celebrate with you when you come back. We love you! Greetings from Greece ❤️

[@CelesteSeeker]

Jessica, just wanted to let you know... Your Aveeno Skin Relief Bodywash recommendation was spot on. My husband has dry itchy skin and no body wash seems to work well for his skin, it always feels dry and tight and itchy after showering. But he said that bodywash was the best one he'd ever used! And he wants to keep using it from now on! Yay!!! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@CelesteSeeker]

Added note: My husband says that not only is it the best bodywash he's ever used, he's never enjoyed a shower more because he felt cleaner and not at all itchy. Lol! His words, not mine.

Hi Cathy

[@woddlesrules]

Your hair in the clip where your hauling the stuff you got, SO PRETTTTTTY OMG it looks soooooo good

[@JSmith-fb1sz]

I just want you to know that your video brightened my day. My cat is dying and I’m pregnant and my anxiety is through the roof so I’m an emotional disaster. I’ve never experienced a pet dying before. She’s a member of the family and I never imagined it being so hard to get through. I might be crazy, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way about their pet. Thank you for your uplifting videos. ❤️

[@brandiclark4082]

You’re definitely not alone in feeling that way about your cat. I’m so sorry you’re going through that. I’ve had to deal with the death of my animals over the years and it’s never easy. Just remember you loved them the best you could and gave them a good life. Pets are definitely family ❤️

[@janetjung770]

Pets are totally family. Sending you some prayers!

[@ashleys4652]

Read the poem The Rainbow Bridge. It helped me when I lost my 18 year old kitty. I am sorry you are going through this pain. Praying for a healthy and safe pregnancy for you. It sounds like you gave your cat an amazing life with so much love.

[@BlingyBea]

The Rainbow 🌈 Bridge Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together....

[@warrenshaw9396]

Jessica, I’m not saying this to be mean or rude, but in the beginning of this vlog I thought to myself that you looked a little worn out, and then during your last portion of the video you mentioned taking a little break. You take your time, don’t worry about uploading, I for one believe in taking time off to recharge and spend family time together, your mental health and well-being comes first. Xxxx

[@christiandavidsonlamore6301]

Hi Tracy

[@wandasingley2213]

Jessica, I am so glad you are putting yourself first! I have lived with panic attacks for over 30 years, it is not FUN. I really love your channel, take care of yourself and your lovely family!!

[@jennicav1397]

You say you need a break from the anxiety of this. BUT YOU RELIEVE my anxiety. Your voice and conversations literally put me to sleep sometimes. It's such a relief to just listen to normal stuff and not worry about the pandemic or other worries of the day.

[@debbyd5729]

Honestly, I’m surprised you don’t take (at least) a couple of weeks off every year and shut down YT & social media for that time. In most other jobs you’d be able to but I understand that’s harder when you’re self employed. Take whatever time you need even if you need to drop to one video a week for a few weeks. You have to do what’s best for you! 💜

[@marroosh9771]

Exactly! KZbin is a job and people who have jobs are entitled to time off work!

Tyler is giving heavy dad vibes in this vlog haha love it!

[@kelsigammon8328]

You and your family are just the cutest. Your puppy voice always cracks me up 🤣 my boyfriend and I spend most of our evenings together, including getting in bed at the same time and watching silly KZbin videos until we get sleepy. I say it’s like having a slumber party with my best friend every night!

[@Gardnertino]

Jess I have had cervical herniated disc issues since November. At one point they were completely unbearable. 24 hours a day, 10 days a week, non stop excruciating pain. I bought the pillow you recommended a few vids back and woah. Between my new chiro and that pillow I can sleep again. So much less pain. Thank you for that! ❤️

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Ok, ok, LMAO! When you held up that shirt for Tyler in "salmon" the first thing that popped into my mind was the Friends episode where Ross wears a "salmon" shirt and everyone tells him it's pink. LOL! (And pink is 100% GREAT for boys and men, by the way, to be CLEAR.) :)

Hello how are you doing my friend

[@Sarah-Bouma16]

I know a lot of people are already saying to take a break but I also think I'll add that I know that for myself, I love to workout. Working out and going to the gym and being outdoors is my escape... but sometimes that's overwhelming to fit in every single day. So I take off and (mostly) guilt-free will just live my life for two solid weeks without my gym/working out. And by the time those two weeks are over I'm so freaking excited to get back to it. Hopefully that will be the case for you! I love your content and I will still be here when you get back from whatever you decide to do with your time! Lots of love to you and your family!

Dear Jessica - I've watched you over the years & can honestly say I love your honest fun & how much you're grown as a YTer. As I type this, I just completed my order for your fall merch & am wearing my "It is what it is" hat that I covet. I love this hat, wear it daily at work & on the weekends gardening & love that I can toss it in the wash! Girl, take your breaks, just like other 9-5ers, you have EARNED that vacation & your mental health is very important! So you & we'll all be here whenever you get back. Also, I received an Elf order with items your recommended in your last Elf video! Love you girl, your family is adorable & I love watching you & Tyler together! My bf & I (friends 7yrs, now dating 2yrs counting) spent time after work together & go to bed at the same time. We're also working on finding our first apt together, SO EXCITING! Watching your growth & inspiration & loving relationship inspired me to not settle for less & to keep growing & learning & loving!! 💖 💖 💖

Did she discuss not showing Gigi anymore? If so, I missed it. Thanks!

[@beckiemareemiller1157]

@@trishamurphy3357 yes, she mentioned in a previous vlog, maybe a few months ago. She said she would not be showing her as much. I completely understand her reasoning though. My little one is not on any of my socials. Xx

I feel like the Essence palette might be a good alternative for combo Divine Skies/Faded Clementine palettes. Aka my dream mini palette. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@karennicholson4167]

Love you, Jessica. You take care of you and know that you have our support and prayers. Thank you for being honest and relatable. You are the best!

[@donnashaelene335]

Yes, please take time off! It’s so important and needed and you deserve it! Don’t worry about us, we will still be here for you when you are ready to come back! Have a wonderful break! 😊

[@Amanda_Trott]

I want merch that says something like "weirdly excited " lol

Hello Amanda

[@redstar97219]

What lip color are you wearing in the car? It’s beautiful.

Hi

[@betsybabf748]

With fall, it usually changes when you have kids in school, and then you go either way...can't wait for them to start school or dread the busy schedule starting. I always have preferred summer because having a large family, fall means early mornings, lots of activities, homework, deadlines and stress, with a long time until it subsides again.

[@annetteysquierdo]

Enjoy your time off! When you aren’t enjoying something (for example for me, it’s lifting weights) one week off is a good call. When you get back at it, you will have fresh eyes and soul and you will be ready to tackle what you have to. That’s not a bad thing, but a human thing. We all need breaks. 💕

[@angelicaw]

When you make your return I hope we get a Braun Book Review soon! I’ve been needing some new reads and love all the books you recommend. I just finished “The invisible life of addie larue” and the whole time I kept thinking you would love it if you haven’t read it already! P.s. Enjoy your bit of respite! ☺️

[@danastrickland8811]

I loved that book!

[@emilyhabermann4220]

My husband and I spend our evenings together and go to bed together too. So I understand when you decide to do something different.

[@christinamarie9249]

Juicyjas just came back from a 2 week break and she looks relaxed and genuinely happy. Everyone needs a break at some point. I mean with regular jobs you can take a vacation and get vacation days. At the end of the day, you make your own hours and schedule and it’s important to make room in your schedule for YOURSELF and your mental health. Take a break girl!! And come back whenever you feel like you’re ready to. We’ll be here 🙌🏻❤️

[@WSUSiren]

I’m so glad you’re taking some time for yourself. It’s important that you find some balance- this is part of that. You’ll feel energized and refreshed when you come back. 🥰 Your new door is gorgeous!! Definitely gives me some inspiration for my home

[@christiandavidsonlamore6301]

Hi how are you doing my friend

[@bethanatorrr]

In the words of the late great Eliza Hamilton, “Take a break!”

[@bridgetjones6973]

It’s crazy how you tubers are always making videos, no breaks, when us ‘regular’ people have 2-4 weeks vacation per year … you *need* breaks! Enjoyyyy! Real Life is off social media, come back when/if you’re ready. I’ll be re watching all your fall videos lol ❤️

[@janetwilliams4475]

2 to 4 vacations a yr? How I wish that were true.

[@lucindajones2892]

You are so correct about mental health, and I am very glad that you are taking some much deserved “me” time. Spend time relaxing and playing with Gigi. We will be here when you are ready to come back.💐

[@briannagandersen]

You should have a seasonal color analysis done to find out your season! It’s really fun! I love your channel, glad you’re taking a break!

[@sarahhernandez2956]

Where did you get your robe that you were wearing in this Vlog and what brand is it? Love it!

[@christiandavidsonlamore6301]

Hello Sarah

[@jaclyndepre5557]

We refer to our dog as our kids' puppy brother too! And he is SO the middle child, but I still adore him too. 💕 🐾

[@CindyFavorites]

Take more than that sweet lady! You can’t give out if you don’t put into yourself. Give yourself permission to just enjoy your life. I have really enjoyed a peak into your life. I love your transparency.

[@dcnunez100]

Thank you for your honesty Jess 🤗 Mental health is important so glad you are listening to yourself and taking a break 💖

[@carolinewatts1985]

I love your honesty. Mental health is beyond important. Take your time off girl!!

[@karenprinz5987]

I grabbed one of those book bins for our library books. I keep them all in there so we don’t lose them! Total game changer.

[@erinmeadows14]

Our default is evenings together. We have some partial evenings where we do different things because my husband has a side business. So when he needs to work on that that’s when I work out but we have a rule that generally speaking unless we talk about it a portion of the evening is together regardless.

[@RAE.ofSunshine]

I've felt burnout as well and vitamin D3 has helped alot. I always forget that and then once I'm in a routine of taking it, all the sadness in my brain starts to disolve

[@ACM327]

Omg you have been SUCH a bright ray of sunshine for so many of us over this dark last year PLEASE take even more time off you deserve it. You’re an Angel and even angels need a break sometimes! 😇

[@sarahlaboyalmodovar7460]

Everybody needs a break every now and then, so you don't need to apologize or feel bad because you need one too. Take your time Jessica, we're here and not going anywhere. Sending you much love ❤

[@TheBeautyExpert]

My husband and I are the same way, if we are home we are together lol it’s the way we’ve always been. He’s just my best friend and I feel like it’s the same for you guys. Glad you are taking some time when you need it. We will all be here no matter what, don’t stress about it. Do what you need ❤️

[@erine7453]

I notice when you don't have new videos! But that's because you're my favorite channel to watch. I'm glad you're taking some time for yourself. I totally get it. I had to do that too with my etsy shop and honestly it's been months and haven't gone back yet because my mental health was a lot worse than I realized.
