what's your go-to skincare routine for the AM?

Only just starting the vlog, and let me just say, I appreciate you giving us a little update on the items that may end up being sponsors! It feels a lot more real, and it's nice to see you test them beforehand. I know you mention you test things for a good while but seeing it is even better! I love how genuine you are 💜

Oh my word, $166 for pajamas, that’s just crazy!

where's my notification squad?!?!?

Hey Jess! There’s an app called Picture This- Plant Identifier that you can get that tells you exactly what plant/flower you’re looking at through your camera. It also tells you how much water it needs, where it comes from, and the health of the plant too!! It is subscription based but it’s worth it if you’re invested in plant care ☺️ also loved the vlog!! ❤

Hey Jess!! I used to have over 200 houseplants 😂 I’m 99% sure your no ID plant is a Kalanchoe. They’re a super cute and delicate type of succulent! They’re also known as “Widows Thrill.” Just a heads up that they are toxic to dogs and cats ◡̈

The container store has a three tiered cart that’s perfect for organizing art supplies. My daughter was so excited to see all her art supplies out and easily accessible. She can roll it into whatever room she wants to do her projects.

The sausage & peppers recipe is an italian classic. Every italian household makes this & it is always sold at street fairs in italian neighborhoods, especially in New York, New jersey & Pennsylvania. You can add tomato sauce while cooking it as a variation, and it is good on pasta that way. Typically, it is eaten on crusty italian bread as a sandwich. Bon appitito!

I think blush lasting all day really depends on each person's skin. My skin isn't even oily and it seems to eat 90% of blushes within a few hours 😅 the amazonian clay blushes do last on me though!

It looks like your plant could be a Kalanchoe, they are so cute!

When Gigi said,”I lot of them are so good!” She sounded SO much like Tyler

Yessssssss beam is the best. I’ve worked my way up to a full scoop now but im also a wimp with the tingles 😂 apparently as you have more you do build a tolerance so the tingles won’t be nearly as bad. That’s why I always say start with the half scoop to see how it affects you. Killing girl. Plz come do my make up for me at some point 😂❤

The plant looks like a Kalanchoe variety. There are a lot of different types/flower colors. I have one that is orange and one that is yellow. They are super easy to propagate.

The new elf contour is AMAZING. I have fair skin and have a hard time finding something cool toned but not too grey. It’s perfect! I ended up returning the blush because it’s way too glittery sadly. I had high hopes for it 😭

You might already know by now, but Too Faced just announced they are discontinuing the peach palette forever. It is half priced right now.... So if you really really love that shade you may want to order a backup palette

One of our regular meals is roasted sausages, onions, bell peppers and potatoes! Sometimes I add mushrooms. It is soooo good! And easy with minimal dishes.

I recommend roasting your sausage and peppers with potatoes, all in one pan, in the oven! Season everything with olive oil and your favorite seasoning! Easy and delicious!

I used my bags to put all my games in. I got rid of the boxes, I labeled each game bag and I will be putting them in a plastic container. I can’t tell you how much better it is. I also have them for art supplies. I’m going to buy the assorted sizes but they are awesome to organize all things of different sizes. I’m loving your videos!

I highly recommend Skinfix for barrier support!! It is my saving grace in the cold dry months. I'm currently using the gel cream (with the hotter humid months I'm more oily) and I haven't even been getting super oily or breaking out like I normally would. In the winter i use the regular tripple lipid barrier cream. Super good! Worth the price. I live in northern Ohio BTW P.S. use your eye cream all along the whole orbital bone! Under the eyes, between the brows and on/over the brows. Use the remainder on ear lobes and smile lines 😊 (I'm an esthetician and I do this I'm the treatment room)

hi jess! always love your transparency with your sponsorships! i love the look of the waffle set you have from tommy john but i was super bummed to see they don’t really have inclusive sizing. just thought i’d mention it, in case it’s something you think about when endorsing products with a spon deal! love your vlogs. thanks for this one. 🤍

Jess, thank you for being such a joy to watch (the whole family too!). You’re genuine, honest and truly a good person - it feels like I’ve known you for years girl. So, thanks again for always lifting my spirits and making me smile 🤗! Have a wonderful rest of your week🌻!

Field Roast sausage is really good! I always use it when I make lasagna. The smoked apple sage is my favorite but they have a really good Italian one, too. It freezes really well and then you just pull it out and put the links in hot water (in the plastic outer wrapping) and they thaw very quickly.

Hey @itsjessicabraun could you do a video where you pick your top three makeup in every category ? Everything that works for you works for me and you’re the only person who hasn’t posted one yet pleaseeee

I have the same lip mask and mine is a bit grainy too! Plus I feel like it slides around a lot and doesn't stay in place as well as other lip masks that I've tried. A little too easy for it to end up inside my mouth when I rub my lips together. Also, for the acne, try the Zitstika patches! Either the regular or microdart are great. I also like The Inkey List succinc acid spot treatment.

We keep better than bouillon in the fridge and add it to rice when cooking to add more flavor to the grain than just salt.

I felt like way back when tarte blushes were all the rage powder blush really was the first product to go. However, that was probably mostly for people with oily/combo skin or hot/humid weather and it wasn’t trendy to wear a lot of blush then. Now we really layer up our blush and emphasize that part of our routine. People put powder on top of creams for it to last longer. Years ago you could get away with skipping blush bc it was just barely there and not so heavily applied and so of course it would fade quicker since less product was used. I feel like the trend was higher coverage foundation removing redness/ natural blush paired with bronzer. Now it’s also about lighter coverage. So I think there’s multiple factors besides the tarte blush being a great formula.

I use those mesh bags for "reading bags" for my first graders to take their readers back and forth from home to school. They hold up really well!

Girl even before you said anything about what your were wearing I was thinking I love that color and it looks so comfortable and then BOOM 💥 you go and say you might be doing a brand deal!!! Love this

I’m just loving your videos lately, a mix of makeup, family and chatting with a friend.

Jessie bringing back that 2000s head band vibe 😂 I love it 🥰

I use those bags to keep puzzles together (yep, the wooden ones and even the regular kind). Saves so much room and we haven’t lost a piece yet!

Would love to see a make-up look or tips for glasses wearers!

I get so excited and happy when you upload!!

I use those big zipper bags for puzzles also. I just cut the picture of the box off and place inside the bag with all the pieces. It’s saved us a lot of space

Could you link the shirt you are wearing when styling your hair and going over your morning skincare routine? So cute!

I already have those Amazon pouches (multi-size pack) and they are great! For the big size, another use is for packing baby clothes. They kept everything organized and I labeled them so that everyone on the trip knew where to put the clean baby clothes!

The best when Jess uploads!!! Love getting that notification!

Jessica their is an app you can down load called picture this and you can take a picture of the plant and it will tell you what the plant is and how to care for it

I love that pj set!! It looks so comfy and cozy!

That headband just made me think of the stories TaylorWynn tells of her headband obsession in high school!!

For breakouts I swear by the Inkey List succinic acid breakout treatment. It’s so affordable and works really well.

Random question…what color paint is on your wall? I’m in search of colors and love yours!

That light blue shirt looks so good on you! You look so youthful and your skin really pops in that color!

I find the opposite about Blushes. They tend to disappear first on the face🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️except for the tarte ones..lol

The price of the pjs 😅

Your plant is a kalanchoe. They do well in a sunny window, like you have it. It is a succulent, so only water it when you can fold the leaves like a taco. I hope that helps!

I agree Kalanchoe for the plant judging by the leaves. For your breakout use those hero patches. They are amazing.

It’s also good to rub leftover moisturizer on the back of your hands. I learned that from Angie Hot and Flashy! 🙂

That’s my fav hairspray too and I often find it at TJ Maxx and Marshall’s usually for 1/2 off! The headband looked cute 🫶🏼 on you!

I soooo needed this vlog to watch during my lunch break 🤗

Cook your grains in chicken broth! Easy way to punch up the flavor :)

A dupe for Two Faced Luscious is MAC All That Glitters. Worth checking it out.

You should do a packing video the next time you go on a trip! I love packing videos

For chapstick/lip mask, have you tried Lanolin (yes the nipple cream)? Its a life saver and you'll never go back. I remember having it handy when my 5 year old was nursing, and forgot all about it until I saw the hype around Lano-Lips and had an AH-HA moment. Anyways, buy a giant tube for $8, you wont regret it.

Those bags are the best! I de-boxed all my board games and put them in individual bags so it was easier to store in my closet! Highly recommend. 😊

I felt the same about the marzipan shade from the original chocolate pallette. So shade when I finished it.

We’re in MI, hope you have the best time ❤ nothing like mi in summer and fall

Hi Jess! I think the eye shadow from Mac - all that glitters is a very good match to the Too faced single eye shadow you like! ❤

Jess do you have any Father’s Day gift ideas?

We do a sausage and pepper meal all the time (and it’s on our meal plan menu tonight)! It gets better with left overs too when all the flavors mix. I like to make rice with it and mix it all together in a bowl. It’s almost a comfort food for me.

The Sephora Collection eyeliner - game changer! Thank you 😊

Take a photo of the plant on your phone and then you can use the info feature which should tell you what the plant is!xx

I love that yellow nail polish you have on. Also I’m from Michigan and love it here. Especially the west side on Lake Michigan, Traverse City, and Mackinaw. Have a safe and fun trip!

Google Lens is great for identifying plants, I use it all the time for that and it's very accurate! Pretty sure that's a succulent, although I don't know which kind.

Current daytime routine: Paula’s choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant La Roche-Posay Rosaliac AR Serum Whatever moisturizer I’m feeling (currently Tula 24-7 Day and Night Moisturizer) Soopergoop Glowscreen for SPF.

i wonder why your elf dries up so fast? i’ve had mine for a year. either way it’s a ride or die!

We do sausage and peppers, usually in a red sauce, sometimes including cherry peppers for some heat. It can be served on a long roll, over pasta, or on its own! 😊

Saw the thumbnail and RAN to the description box, clicked the link for the lounge set. Gaht me choking on my coffee. Ay yi yi

Totally agree about the luscious eye shadow!!

The amazon zipper packs are fabulous! I love them for pencil pouches in my classroom.

The Essence powder blushes last all day for sure.

Try Sydney Grace eyeshadow. You can reach out to them and see if they have a similar color.

I LOVE those zip bags. I use them a lot for traveling. Crayons and coloring books in one. His cars in one…then they stand up in his backpack. Love them. Just started to use them for other things. Car snack bag, home school supplies, games.

Y’all save your money on that Murad cream and get the believe beauty eye cream for $5. I should say I’m 24 so I don’t have a ton of wrinkles but I get a lot of lines under my eyes and in the crows feet area from squinting and I swear this cream has been the best for them. I can’t even explain how much I love it and it’s really good to wear under makeup. At first I didn’t notice a difference in the darkness under my eyes, which is why I bought it and was surprised at how well it handled my lines, but now that I’ve used it longer I think it has improved that so I don’t need as much concealer. Best dollar general find, hands down ❤

I have said the same thing about “luscious” for years! It is perfect!

My CosRx lip mask is also a little grainy!! I think that’s normal for the product, I usually apply at night because when I apply it before makeup in the morning it makes my lip products apply funny.

Those headbands I use during my skincare to pull the hair away from my face. And…I have those zipper bags. I use them for board games/games. The boxes of games were taking up SO much space in my home, so I cut the covers out/saved the instructions and placed those with the game pieces/game boards in the bag, and…. Wallah…instant space now:). I LOVE those.

Want to add on to the shoutout to lawless brow gel. It’s so good! It’s not fussy, has medium hold and one tube has lasted me months with daily use.

Soooo many teachers at my school use those mesh bags with their kids! Each kid has one and it has all their morning activities in it.

We do the onions, sausage and peppers by itself, but I loved the rice blend idea, maybe over dirty rice or a Cajun type seasonings???

Love the head band on you!

Jessica first of all I love watching your videos. I wanted to say that those zippered pouches are amazing, I just got mine too and the way I use those is also for wet swimming suits/trunks for the kids. Great for the beach for packing stuff like cellphone, keys, wallet and swimming stuff. Just another idea on how you can use them. Have a great weekend. 🥰

Girl as an Italian y’all better put those sausage and peppers on a good roll with provolone!

I have the pack with all the different sizes and I use them for puzzles or board game pieces as well as art!! No more boxes!

I never missed one vlog you are wholesome Jess I hope you know this 🫶

Where is that checkered top from? It’s so cute!

I just made lunch, perfect timing ❤😂 I keep my skin care pretty basic/simple for daytime. I like a lightweight serum & moisturizer under my sunscreen and that's about it 😅 spf tends to dry out my skin no matter what so I always use a separate moisturizer.

Those bags are great to store board games too!! Makes it so much more compact!!

You better buy that sweet peach pallet now, they have announced that it’s fine and they are on sale.

If u want the TF peach pallet u better buy it now it's being retired and soon it won't be sold anymore , just found out yesterday.

Jess! I'm in Michigan! I grew up in the thumb, but am more central now-hope you have a great time!

Drugstore blushes usually don’t last all day on me and I have more or oily skin. So one of the first things I learned when I first started doing makeup was blushes (and eyeshadows) were pricier for a reason 😅

I LOVE those mesh bags! I have a variety pack and use the small one in my purse for lip gloss stuff, pens, charging cord. So much easier than having the floating around at the bottom of my purse.

You can reverse google images search that plant. Add seasoning like knorr when you cook your rice, quinoa or whatever

I thought the same thing with that cosrx lip mask! The gritty however does go away on the lips almost like it melts.

Hey Jess!! This was a wonderful video!! I love spending this time with you! On the Peppers & Onions, I make them 2 different ways. First I make it with potatoes in it, and you just add cut potatoes. 2nd way is to add Marinara Sauce to the Sausage, Peppers & Onions, and then serve it over pasta, of any kind. Delicious!! Have a wonderful day!! ❤ Xx

Hey Jessica! Did you ever use that loreal age perfect tinted balm? Curious what you thought?

Jess I love that moisturizer. I have been loving the versed baby cheeks hydrating milk. I just got over a cold with dry flakey skin and it fixed my skin so quickly.

The colour of the pajamas is sooooo lovely!!!

I have ordered the Too faced sweet peach eyeshadow palette. It looked so nice. Was so inspired by you. haven't been able to stop thinking about this palette since I saw your video a while ago. It will be fun to test it.🙂😄💛🧡
