It took me a minute to get this first vlog up for Jennglebells, but here we are! I start the month off with my bullet journal spread, a trip to the Korean market and get candid with Ben about our relationship with our parents. How would you change your relationship with your parents now?

Hey Jenn - I recommend the 'Calm Body' section on the Calm app. They have super short stretch routines that you can do morning or night. Think of it as a moving meditation for your stretches. :)

I find it super interesting when you talked about adjusting your makeup look when filming your "booktube" videos. Honestly, intelligence and vanity should be independent of each other. What's wrong with an incredibly smart woman who happens to take the extra time to dress-up and play with makeup? It sucks how women still have to deal with this standard. Just do whatever you want Jenn, I fully support the full glam book videos!

I thought the same thing, but I think it's important to keep in mind that mainly/only the very good parts of relationships make their way into a KZread Video, understandably so. It's okay for real life to not be as "perfect" as that.

It just struck me that I NEVER had a deep conversation with my parents.... Also, as I grow up, I'm starting to see my parents as people/ individuals rather than as "my parents". This realization has helped me accept their flaws and shortcomings. I'd have to say, my parents are in many ways an example in terms of what not to do rather than what to do lmao but ayyy, I'm grateful for that still.

I love your relationship with Ben. That conversation during dinner was so wholesome.

I love seeing such a successful youtuber pronouncing Asian food with full confidence and discussing the flavors in such an everyday way. I grew up feeling like my Japanese lunches were so “exotic” and weird to others when to me, they were comfortable and normal. I used to think I never fit into the beauty or cultural standards until I found KZread and saw Asian style influencers that looked like me and ate like me. I love seeing it 💕

Oh Jenn ✨ I loved the talk about how you appreciate and speak with your parents. I haven't seen my father since I was 9 and my mom recently passed away in July. Being parent-less at 23 has been so heart wrenching, I wish I had learned that lesson earlier too. But your videos have been a great source of inspiration on getting everything back together after it all fell apart this year.

ok i know Jenn's makeup always is spot on but there's something about her make-up during her hmart haul and the car ride that is just so different (?) but in the best way possible!!! esp with the mini gold earrings it has a very chic minimal/natural, but slightly smokey vibe and i LOVE IT

Love that you actually used the outro template that you showed in your earlier video. It is really beautiful and creative 🥰

the way ben was listening to you talking about the book club 🥺

Gosh I can’t tell you how much the dinner conversation is my absolutely favorite part of this vlog.

Thank you for such soothing and comforting videos. It always helps me get through the rough days. Hope all is well with you Jenn!

I kid you not half an hour ago I was notified I got the lowest grade, in my class, on my 23 page capstone essay and my grade dropped from an A to a B.

I love your relationship with Ben. You can tell you guys are actually friends and lovers and it’s lovely to watch two people enjoy each other so much ❤️

I feel like I got to know Ben a little bit more, thanks for sharing your engaging dinner talks! Twas interesting!

,,just looking at it brings me so much joy“ honestly that was the sweetest thing 🥺

I'm so happy Jennglebells is back! Always look forward to these every December :)

Every video I think I couldn’t love you and Ben as a couple more and then bam, you guys do it again! Sometimes it can be hard to be single (especially during a global pandemic!) but seeing you guys together reminds me of the kind of beautiful, nurturing and wholesome relationship that is worth waiting around for so thank you. 💞

Idk why I’ve never seen the calendar log/journal. This would help so much going into the new year for me. Meditation and reading a book is on my list already. thanks!!

I love the relationship you have with Ben. I’ve been binge watching last year’s Jenngle Bell vlogs and ahhhh, it makes my heart so warm. Also, I love how much you implement your love for reading, business, cooking, and fashion all into one. Truly a well-rounded, independent boss of a woman. I’ve been really working on finding hobbies because I didn’t see how disconnected with myself I was. I think reading may be my first stop. Love the content and love the ending photo you chose to close out the video! ❤️

YESSSS JENN we were all waiting for this ahhhh

YESSSS JENNGLEBELLS makes me smile!!!! we can all use a smile right now :)

lol the fact that both of you guys "mmmm" when you taste something good is soo cute

I've been binge-watching your recent videos today and I have an exam tomorrow. I have no regrets. Watching this makes me feel so excited to give myself some love after exam season. You make me want to pursue what makes me happy. Your editing is stunning, your content is stunning and YOU are stunning. Love you Jenn

i love your vlogs so much Jenn, speaking of making a conscious effort to vocalise appreciation - thank you for doing them :)

11:26 when a dog's plate is fancier than yours 😭

Yess jennglebells, here for it! Your hair looks so good too 💁🏻‍♀️

Glad to see a Jennglebells ❤️🥰 They’re always my favorite!

Hey jenn I love watching your vlogs but this time I really loved that you and Ben were eating and having a deeper conversation and shared it with us. Thank you! Maybe you could do more videos like this❤️

omgg the graphic design for this video😍 (also yay for the return of Jennglebells!)

This was so wholesome. I really appreciated you keeping in your conversation with Ben, it was beautiful 🥰

I love the quality time you get to spend with Ben and how you guys give each other your undivided attention during those times and listen to each other. So sweet to see! Also the small gestures such as Jenn putting sauce condiment into Ben's bowl without him even requesting for it and the look you guys gave each other when Jenn shared some of her nice cream. Warms my soul!!! Also thankful you guys are comfortable with sharing your open thoughts about your family and parents with us. It's insightful!

Loved the conversation at the end. I think there’s room for us all to be more gracious with our parents.

Incredible. I love everything about your vlogs, and I appreciate you letting us see a snippet of such an intimate conversation with Ben!

I was literally rewatching your old vlogs this morning then saw this!! It’s always a better day when Jenn uploads 😍

YAAAAAY favorite time of the week ! Love me some JenngleBells ✨

I truly love how comforting Jenn's vlogs are :' ) Nothing too over the top and so relaxing to follow. Thank you 언니 ❤️

Jenn, you are great. Watched some of your previous videos about being a boss, about being asian american, about your experiences into maturity. They all resonated with me and inspired me. It helps to know there are people out there who made it through the tough times and come out on the other side :)

I love how Ben did the perfect transition for Jen to talk about the jelly thing.^^

Jenn and Ben's random " mmm's " are soo precious 😭😂♥️♥️

I really loved your convo about parents💕 you guys should talk more about this kinda stuff in your videos 👌

i love seeing your bullet journal! i’d love if u show us your spread when you vlog at the start of each month! btw i’m so excited for jennglebells!! hehe

Hey, Jenn.. I hope you know how much your content and just you as a person has helped me in life, I feel like I have found a friend, and I know I don’t know you personally so it’s strange to say. But thank you, Jenn, you are great 😊

Your videos are so meaningful, I learn a lot and motivate my self to be a better version of me 💕

i love how u and ben always react the same to the first bite of food

Really needed the "parent talk" towards the end. Thanks Jenn and Benn♥️

i loved your conversation with ben about what you would change about your relationship with your parents, recently i’ve been reflecting on that aswell and i loved the points you both made

i really love how ben and jenn will eat together and then their eyes will go wide, say "hmmmm", look at each other, and then point at their plate

watching your videos is such a breath of fresh air and your relationship with Ben is so pure and so sweet. aw, Jenn you contiously inspire me and honestly it's even in the little things you do.

I have had a really difficult day today but watching your video took my mind off everything and made me so cheerful (as usual). Thank you for what you do!! ❤️❤️

OMG YES SO EXCITED FOR THIS 😭❤️

yayyy!! thank you for posting, I love watching your videos so much 🥺♥️

Loveeeeed when you two were holding hands while waiting for the elevator 🥰 btw I always watch both the book videos as well the as the vlog ones

You and Ben are soooo cute together! I laughed pretty hard when you were unpacking the tree and the ornaments were packed with it ahah thats pretty smart

I love your videos so much!!! Merry Christmas everyone

Christmas isnt Christmas without JENNGLEBELLS heh. Loving all the details you're sharing w us Jenn, might start on my own bullet journal! Always inspired by ya xo

Ugh, actually burst out in tear when Ben said "that's very nice of you" just cos Jenn gave him some nice cream. Esp after all that emotional family talk.. Havent been able to see my family since the beginning of this year too and we rarely missed christmas together, so this year has been especially hard, knowing how close (in distance) yet far apart we are.

This is so random but I'm admiring how perfect those tomatoes are!! They look so perfect!!

I LOVE Jennglebells! I’ve watched every single year & sometimes I’ll rewatch it when it isn’t the holidays! So glad you’re doing it again, Jenn! ☺️ Also California Market is my FAVORITE Korean market 😍

ahhh nothing like jennglebells to really get in the holiday spirit

I was lowkey scared there would be no seasonal content from you so I'm glad it's finally here ! 💖

I WAS SMILING THE WHOLE TIME IM WATCHING THIS. WHY.

I love hearing your dinner talks with Ben 🤗 it's great seeing the similarities between the relationships with our parents and pushing to have those difficult conversations. This is something that I'm definitely striving to change so thank you 💕

I just love that I come to these vlogs for a sense of peace, calm and inspiration and I leave feeling emotional, grateful and always with something new to think about. Thank you for always giving us more than just your laughs and your makeup and your fun activities but your thoughts and your sweet heart and for making me remember my love for my family and how much they mean to me. Please never stop making vlogs!

Omg I've been waiting for Jennglebells!! Your Christmas videos always put me in the holiday spirit 💗

Ahhh we need more of you & Ben at dinner having real conversations

I watch both of your vlogs and book videos and i also read the silent patient and i really liked it so thank you jenn🤍

Loved this video so much! First jennglebell (?) I watch! For me, specially the part where Ben talked about how you don’t really tell your parents how grateful you are for them when you’re young had me almost tearing up. My dad passed away five years ago and then my mom was sick for a bit and when you lose one parent you cherish the other one twice more - and, kinda in a way become their parent, specially if you emigrated and don’t have any other family but your parent, so for me, I actually do make an effort to tell my mom everyday how grateful I am to have her, to be able to spend time with her, to help her achieve whatever she dreams of. Can’t take for granted how long she’ll be by my side so we make the best with each day we have

i love your videos so much jenn. it gives me such big sister vibes. i learn sooo much from you everytime. i hope you and your family have a great holiday ❤️

Aah I've been waiting for this year's Jenngle Bells! And the intro is so cute 🎄😊

Ugh Jenn and Ben, couple goals!! I love the way he looks into your eyes :')

Jenn! i'm so glad you're still bullet journaling! i'd love more videos including it, i've committed to bullet journaling for 2021! loved this video 😊

So happy that you highlighted The Best We Could Do, it’s a super great book and really gives a good job at describing inter generational trauma and the SE Asian experience!

loooved your grocery haul!! gives me inspo for my meals and hope to see more in the future!

Can never get enough of you and ben's mmm after every bite 😂

I was so sad bc I thought Jenn wasn’t doing Jennglebells this year💞 also your outtro made me felt so emo 😭

You and Ben are honestly couple goals. Love how authentic and raw your videos are and how open you are with us every week. ❤️ merry Christmas!

That wholesome conversation during dinner time is everything we needed to hear! Thank you for sharing that moment with us all.. It was so comforting to hear and for us to ponder and reflect.. Best episode to date!
