WEEKLY VLOG 01: THIS WAS OLIVIA'S IDEA| NIGEL, MUCH YAP, COOKING, BAKING, LIVING [CC]

[@dang_cats]

I love this video format!! So glad Olivia pressured you into it, hope you enjoy it and continue!

[@JessOwens]

Thank you 😊

[@JFPennywise]

I'm with you on the commutable, walkable city. I don't wanna drive anymore!

[@JessOwens]

It’s what we deserve!!

[@ravenwingedwolf13]

110% in agreement! I feel like we would do better as a society for having more walkable cities and towns.

[@awarmlite]

Thank you Olivia!!! I love more super long vlogs from people I already love!

[@JessOwens]

🥰🥰

[@self_appointed_wisdom]

Your vlogs are always entertaining, Jess! ❤ it's just nice to see you and Ni-ni 😊😁

[@JessOwens]

🥰🥰

[@danichiong6727]

love a weekly vlog 😊

[@MrRorosuri]

Thanks, Olivia 😊

[@JessOwens]

😂😂

[@veronicag.6205]

Love the weekly vlogs! I also feel like I need the recipes for pretty much everything you make. 🙂

[@JessOwens]

I’ll start trying to link them! Sometimes I just make shit up 😂

[@Jax-jx5uu]

"i will put on a bra for our family!!" oh, jess. you always make me laugh

[@JessOwens]

I do what I can 😂

[@Jax-jx5uu]

i'm only at the opening scene with nigel and his plushie donut and i'm cackling 😂

[@JessOwens]

🤣

[@fishbowlwoman]

Peach yogurt is truly the best, and honestly, so is taking breaks from reading when we need it. I took a ten-day hiatus from audiobooks this month, and it was exactly what I needed. I suspect the next break will be longer.

[@JessOwens]

Yessss, reading breaks are needed. And peach yogurt is amazing, I can’t believe I’ve been missing out

[@BookmarkChronicles]

I like to think the coffee clips are just for me 🥰

[@BookmarkChronicles]

That cake would be so good….. without the pumpkin

[@JessOwens]

Yes, yes they are. And the PUMPKIN cake is delish!!

[@borahaechan]

Loved this weekly vlog! You’re so relatable, which makes you content really enjoyable to watch.

[@cuppa.books.]

Love this - thanks Olivia 😂 I also request a song list in the description for all future vlogs 😁

[@LoveLeighReading]

I'm on a journey to increase my protein and fiber. Just bought hemp hearts and they are pretty good to add to random dishes for more protein. Chickpeas are also pretty high in both if you like them. I just bought some dry to try making them to avoid all the salt in canned

[@heymer4274]

Taking a serving of pre workout dry but not being able to handle Greek yogurt is so funny but also relatable.

[@JessOwens]

HAHAHAHA I know it’s weird

[@librarianlirael]

Olivia is a smart person! We love a weekly yap session!! 💜 (also she should read the comments here everyone agrees lol) This was fun!! thank you!

[@JessOwens]

Oh she read the comments and told me about it 😂

[@brandim1230]

I get being with Nigel all the time. MY fur sister Sadie has to see me. Or she isn't happy she always keeps her eye on me or my dad. Great vlog

[@pumpkinschannel777]

Only a few minutes in, but I really appreciate that you're masking in public! We love a COVID conscious queen! 🙏😌

[@JessOwens]

A MUST!!!

[@MaryJoHeadrick]

I feel you on the “sometimes I want to do something else” thing. I go through phases with reading where sometimes I wanna read 98% of the time and other times I wanna watch 2 movies a night!

[@JessOwens]

Yes, sometimes we need a break!

[@mcflylover890]

in olivia we trust

[@blippity.]

I enjoy your Booktube videos but I've recently found your vlogs and I find them so relaxing. I'm not sure what it is but I can put them on and be in a good mood.

[@JessOwens]

I’m so glad 🥰😘

[@balletbookworm]

Here for this Nigel content! (omg, sunning himself with his donut

[@JessOwens]

Nigel will always get his vitamin D!

[@amandabeeeeee]

this vlog is getting me so hype for my workday

[@JessOwens]

🥰

[@theresetatlow5605]

Loved the weekly vlog! I don’t like those oikos yogurts either, I think they taste like artificial sweetener. I prefer plain Greek yogurt with honey to sweeten it and some fruit, granola, dark chocolate - it definitely needs toppings to help with the texture problem haha. I also can relate to the unexplainable rage in traffic! 😖

[@hdestiny95]

I’m one of those who reads like 400 a year, BUT most of those are audio books I listen to at 2x speed at my boring a** job, driving, chores, and my other hobbies that require less brain power. And of the other half I would say a majority are manga or graphic novels.

[@RobinReads]

So what you’re saying is we need Olivia to put the pressure on you always? Got it. And we’re reading Mad Ship in 2024 🙂‍↕️

[@JessOwens]

No no no, don’t get Olivia involved!!

[@_jazzylocs]

Ahh not us discovering the mini creme brulee from Aldi on the same day!! It's not disappointing when you torch the top. Really enjoyed this

[@JessOwens]

Dang it I need a torch!

[@shundrikasmith2476]

I'm LOCKED IN!

[@sophiecarbone4977]

They don’t happen often, but I LOVE your vlogs! 😅

[@olangericmvelazquezmunoz2081]

I love the Kroger brand yogurts in the containers you can sip like a drink. I dont normally like yogurt either.

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Spectacular, give me 14 of them right now 🤭

[@JessOwens]

🤣

[@Sophie_Milagros]

I love your vlogs 🥰🥰🥰

[@JessOwens]

Thank yewww

[@blegghhh]

hey jess we can still hear you with your mask on, pls dont risk covid, etc for youtube videos 💕

[@readingforfun7957]

Hello! I enjoy your vlogs. What type of ice machine do you have? Could you also tell me the brand of your water pitcher?

[@JessOwens]

My water pitcher came attached to my fridge. The ice maker is a GE Opal

[@jenniferbrambila8547]

That bean salad looked so good. 🤤 could you share the recipe?

[@JessOwens]

It's from tiktok. I tried to get the link from her substack but it's behind a paywall. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFk6MmKE/

[@ambrjetathome]

What's the name/recipe of that salad? It looked so good!

[@JessOwens]

I made a steak chimichurri dense bean salad www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFrdkrvV/

[@leahharlann]

I don't like Greek yogurt, so I've switched to Icelandic yogurt! The taste is much better in my opinion, though I suppose the texture is similar so it might not be an improvement for you. The smoothies/drinkable yogurts seem like a great solution though!

[@Chrissy213]

Love your vlogs!

[@JessOwens]

Thank you!

[@kaotic_fabel]

For yogurt. Theres a drink you might want to try. Im not sure what its called, but its yogurt mixed with sparkling water and mint. It gets rid of the texture.

[@JessOwens]

That sounds so interesting 🤔

[@Durogic]

❤

[@Kaitydid_Krixtur]

Is there something bad about Alani? I recently just bought 10 diff flavors for the first time to try and just finished them

[@librarianlirael]

I hope not I drink one pretty much every day

[@librarianlirael]

I looked and apparently the owners are q-anon crazies 😭

[@Kaitydid_Krixtur]

@@librarianlirael boo 👎🏼 I wasn’t sure if it was health related or something like that

[@librarianlirael]

@Kaitydid_Krixtur only thing I could find health related is that it's higher in caffeine than other energy drinks, but that's why I liked them lol

[@JessOwens]

I used to follow one of the co owners when she was a fitness influencer and I’ve just kept up with her and her husband and they’re awful.

[@kes22]

I know it's not the same calories to protein ratio, but full fat yogurt is actually good. Fat free yogurt also makes me gag even though it's "fine" flavor wise. If you don't like that, maybe yogurt isn't your protein solution.

[@JessOwens]

I haven’t tried full fat yogurt yet, so I need to

[@Gigi-nc4vc]

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

[@Cyberlifewithash]

Jess, I’m binge watching your channel this weekend (fellow frenchie mom of 2)🐾May I ask, why do you not support Alani Nu anymore? I would love to get informed because my husband and I are consumers but if it’s not a good brand, I’d like to also be an informed consumer and switch! ❤

[@Marie45610]

I started The Way of Kings in January, I finally made it to around 300ish pages before I decided to throw in the towel. I can't do it. I'm so bored. There's so much sitting around and talking. It's taken me 9 months to read 300 pages.

[@JessOwens]

I’m glad you put yourself first!

[@Alewo2735]

Oh my God, Jess! WHY are you forcing yourself to eat something that is literally making you gag?! There's hundreds of protein sources that are not yogurt! Choose joy! You never have to eat yogurt again, I swear. Nuts, beans, lentils, bone broth, etc. 😅 You're killing me!

[@JessOwens]

I’m so picky, so a lot of other protein sources don’t work for me. I have been adding in more beans though lol

[@chellyfishing]

Only $3 for a loaf of bread??? I’ve been paying $6!!!!

[@JessOwens]

SIX AMERICAN DOLLARS!?!?!?!?

[@chellyfishing]

@@JessOwens SIX AMERICAN DOLLARS. I live in California 😔

[@Dasha-pv1xk]

omg isn't Love is Blind UK better than USA
