thank you for your patience this week 💕a work from home day in my life is next up, so make sure you're subscribed! i loved spending the week with you 💕

Congrats, Jenna!! Well deserved 👏🏽 I got promoted back in May and it feels great to be recognized for our hard work ✨️

Congrats on the promotion!🎉 side note, I used to get acrylic nails all the time.. but I felt like it was a waste of money because the techs would rush and not do a good job. I have been using the press on nails and I’ve received more compliments with them than I ever did when I got them professionally done. The press nails are about $8 and last a week or two. I’ve used the “impress” brand but I’m looking into other brands. I love the idea of a gel kit but I personally have no patience😅.

Congratulations on getting promoted!

Congrats on your promotion! I do my own gels nails and I love them! Always looking at our nails at the office it feels like a must for me. To avoid the chipping I like doing tip fade rather than a solid coat of polish. I find it grows out better! Thanks for sharing! ❤

Congrats on the promotion! That makes the 9-5 grind more worth it I think! (Hopefully! ❤❤

I love your “Work to Live” series, it’s a great way to look at things. I just love your videos so much!

And loved the outside of the apartment vlogging! So fun

Hi Jenna! I have always done my nails, so I have been through, acrylics, pink/white powder, gels, dip, and now I've moved to hard gel - also referred to as "builder" gel, and Russian manicures. They last 4-5 weeks for me and the hard gel doesn't seem as thick as dip. There is a good technician at The Beauty Clarendon. They just moved locations - I think across the street from where they were, but still in Arlington. Not many salons do the "builder" gel, but Rockville also has a place called Wisteria Beauty Studio - which I go to because it's closer, but ...plan to spend a couple of hours at Wisteria. The Clarendon tech is much faster.

CONGRATSSSSS on the promotion babe. You are soooo so deserving of this!!! Your hard work is paying off ❤ loved the vlog, your baking skills are on point too hehe

Hugee congrats on your promotion!! 🥳 It's an honor to see you grow in your professional career! I used to get gel nails at the salon but I bought an At-Home kit from Amazon about a year ago and haven't gone back! I love it cause I feel like its less harmful on my nails so I can change colors every week 😍

Low FODMAP for us IBS girlies 💀!! It’s less acidic, lighter on your tummy

Congratulations on your promotion! Watching your vlogs, we all know how hard you work and you deserve it😍 I love the video quality! Really amazing content as always❤️

Hey Jenna! Just found your channel and subscribed immediately 💕. I work in tech consulting full time while also teaching meditation on the side, so really love hearing your approach to balance and making time for yourself throughout your work week. Can't wait to see more from you!

Congratulations on the promotion I am not surprised at all, for my nail routine I went from doing regular nail polish weekly to gel polish almost biweekly. But because I only plan for 1 day of self-care after work each week, I changed to press on's so that I may complete more self-care tasks in that day.

Congrats Jenna on the promotion. Love your content!

Congratulations on getting promoted, you deserve it! Will you be leading the team in the upcoming year or will it be more of an individual contributor's position to manage the process? Can't wait to hear more about your new role and how you feel about it after a couple of months :) Take care, Jenna!

Congrats on your promotion! You are such an inspiration!

Love your work to live diaries! You and Selena inspire me to do youtube even if I do work fulltime. I found u on her channel and I'm so glad I did.

Hey gurl! Congrats on the promotion. Hair is looking fab!

Congratulations Jenna! Thanks for spending the week with us. Love the Work to Live Diaries

I love it when asians speak English fluently with US accent ❤(I m Asian as well)

for nails, an easy solution is press ons. there are so many options for designs and you can use either glue or stickers. they can last pretty long depending on the glue/sticker.

I was doing dip every 4 weeks. Took them off and gave my nails a break for 6 weeks. I just started going the glue on nail route. $8 for a kit that has two sets in it. Kiss is a good brand to pick up and try. Plan on changing them every 10 days or so. I’m 5 days in and so far so good. I carry the tiny kit with me (I popped off one opening a can) for repairs.

Congrats on your promotion, Jenna! Love watching your work to live diaries every week!

i found you a year ago through Rachel Vinn and I love your content I’ve been binge watching all your videos thank you for your creation and sharing with us

So excited about your promotion! Congrats

Good morning Jenna happy Wednesday morning and I just wanted to say that you are amazing Supporter congrats to you

Gel kits at home are so easy! Especially for your toes. I use gel for my toenails and they last so much longer compared to regular nail polish! If anything, I hear the press-on's are pretty easy and nice too (I have heard great things about glamnetic press ons)

I do my gel nails at home. They generally last about a week to a week and a half before I have to redo them, but that’s bc my nails are naturally paper thin and that caused the gel to lift at the end. The only issue I have is removal- you definitely need an electric file kit, plus a pretty harsh chemical- and the combination of those things has damaged my already super thin nails. If your nails are naturally nice and thick it shouldn’t be an issue. But if they’re super brittle and flaky like mine, even the most gentle removal is still going to affect them. Cost wise though, It’s okay- you just make the up front investment which is probably about the same as one or two manicures in the salon. Other than that, you need a good hour or so periodically to remove and reapply- it’s definitely time consuming, but if you have the time it’s worth it.

YAY congrats on the promotion!!! so happy for ya

On the nail topic, I got the Red Carpet Nails kit from Ulta about a year and a half ago. I'm just now running out of the products that came with the kit and I've bought several extra polishes, but my nails have been consistently done the whole time and it's so much cheaper!

CONGRATULATIONS 🎈🎉🎊 ❤ YOU DESERVE IT I’AM so HAPPY & PROUD OF YOU

Is this healthy? No. It’s not supposed to be. 😂 So relatable!

Beast- precious!!! 🐾🐾❤️

This is the video I needed after a long day on campus :) happy Friday EVE

Congratulations!!🎉 So obsessed with the movie feel of your videos ❤

I bought all the supplies to do my own nails because I didn't want to keep paying to get it done. It takes some time to get the hang of everything but I treat it like a creative time and me-time. I know others prefer the ease of going in to get it done though so it just depends!

Congratulations on your promotion ❤ Beast is getting so handsome !

The editing is fire🔥

OMG! Congratulations on your promotion! Beast looks so cute and has the longest eyelashes! I do my nails and my lashes at home. For my nails, I using Dashing Diva. Highly recommend! I totally understand frustration with editing your footage in 4k. You inspired me to film my vlogs in 4k going forward since we film with the same camera. Your vlogs are so crisp and the quality is amazing!

I'm so glad I found you! Also a corp galie at a consulting firm so this is motivating :) I've been wanting to start vlogging but trying to find that balance

Congrats on getting the promotion!! And I do my own nails-get my nail polish from the beauty store/dollar store or target, and also from the beauty store get this red can called nail enamel dryer. My nails last longer and I do get complients almost all the time

Congratulations on the promo!! 🥳🎉🍾 Beast is THE CUTEST!! It’s been so hot here too; summer is going out with a bang 🥵

Congrats on the promotion!!! Love love love your videos!

You can do a short apres gelx. I do the long length and they last me at least 5 weeks. Yesterday I did a soak off I could have went 6 weeks they were still looking good with no lifting. But I find that any kind of overlays are susceptible to chipping.

Congratulations!! What an achievement!! love your vlogs ❤

For nails, I feel like no matter what it's expensive. I try and push my nails to once a month, or every 6 weeks, which can be difficult with the grow out. I also have my own gel nail kit, if you don't have longer nails, or want a special shape it's worth it, only thing is you don't have the colour range and have to invest in the colour's otherwise it really is good and lasts for at least 2 weeks.

Congratulations on your promotion!!!!! 🎉🎉❤

Congrats!! You deserve the promotion 💓💓

I do my own dip nails at home, super easy! 😊 congrats on your promotion!

Congrats on the promotion! I'm the same - when I have a late start to my mornings it messes with my mentality of getting my workout in and I end up psyching myself out to being lazy 😭 Also not to get you to spend money lol, but the latest macbook pros with the new M1/2 chips edit 4k like a breeze. No need to do proxy or anything and smooth as butter! And not sure if you're doing this but in FCP, you can leave files in place so they don't copy over the files when importing (basically so you don't have two copies of the media taking space on your computer). BUT if you do have an m chip MacBook Pro - I was having issues with editing 4k when I bought it and my heart sank because I was like no way I spent this much and it's so laggy... bug did some digging and found this: "Make sure to grant Final Cut Pro "Full Disk Access" in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy. Without it, the application can't access external drives." After I did that, editing became so satisfying!

congrats on the promotion you bada**!!! love you from CA!

I literally bought a gel kit this morning from the store!!!

Aww congratulations Jenna!🥳🩵

Loved !! Beast looks adorable

Get the Beetles Gel kit! That's what I use and it's SO EASY

Congrats 🍾 a well deserved drink is a must 😊

I do dip(which is basically a type of acrylic) every 3 weeks. My brother came up with this budget for me and his wife as felt 2 weeks was too much. My nails grow out fast so have to do it every 3 weeks but I know people who can last to 4. I justify this because I don't spend more than $250 on makeup/beauty/hair care products etc. monthly and in general I rarely spend the full $250. The drawback is I do spend about $100 monthly on the. service alone because my shop is expensive. Other than that I think keeping the nails is important.

Congratulations 🎊 on your promotion❤❤

I live a little north of you and can confirm it's been soooo humid until this week. Randomly feeling like fall is coming. I'm not falling for it though, our second summer is still coming lol.

When I lived in JAX, fl I would get my nails on every other paycheck. So I was paid biweekly, I would get my nails done which at the time was $30 for a gel set and I tipped $5. I would then skip next paycheck and get it the paycheck after that one. So I was getting my nails done every 6 weeks. They were almost on their last leg, but I work with my hands and just the amount of layers and care they would take, made them last long. I feel if I have to go the nail shop every two weeks, I’m not getting my money’s worth. Granted now it $55 almost $60 for nails.

Congrats on the promotion!!!

Hi girl! Just found your channel and I love how chill your content is so +1 subscriber

Congratulations on the promotion Jenna!! 🥳❤️ Btw I might have missed this but what lens did you end up keeping for the Sony ZV-E10?

late to watch - your video quality in this video!! >>>>>>>

Get gel x you can do it yourself and I find it’s easy.

i paint my nails at home with essie sugar daddy pink. it has a nice gloss but still looks natural so when it peels it does not show too much. i gave up on salon manicures lol $$$$$

Love how tired they are the day after hehehehe

Congratulations on the promotion!

Hi Jenna! I don’t know if you’ve already mentioned this but what camera are you using for your videos? The quality looks amazing 😻

Hi Jenna. New subbie here👋🏽 I found you through Selena’s channel. This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and when you mentioned that you filmed xyz in another video I went to check your channel and was ASTONISHED at how many videos you output. I’m not sure if you do Q&As but I’d love to know more about your content strategy. It must be difficult to keep all the concepts of each video in your head while filming in between your work day. I also work a 9-5 but would love to post more than 1 long form video a week. Any advice you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing your light! ❤️ -Taryn

Congrats on your promotion, Jenna.

Congrats on the promotion 🎉 😊 What mouse do you use? It looks amazing, I could definitely use an upgrade 😂

Hi Jenna congrats on the promotion! What type/model of mouse do you use for work need a new one and yours looks very comfortable. Thank you!

Nice video! What type of camera do you use ? Do you use an lens ? Do you color grade in post editing. ? A lot of questions haha, but your video quality is dope!

What is your filming set up? how is this like a 14mm 1.8 or something???? how is the view so wide with such shallow dof... also.... how much data did you capture to create a 33 minutes video in 4k SIXTY??? lmao

Congratulations Jenna!! May I ask what camera you use pls? ✨
