Turning A Bad Day Into A Good One | JENNGLEBELLS #3

[Music] good morning guys it is Sunday yesterday I didn't leave the house I stayed in I saw the entire season of America's Next Top Model season 17 I ordered a very small pizza to myself I got mushrooms and spinach I think I was like emotionally eating I was like trying to fill in some sort of void yesterday I don't know I've just not been myself the past two days but I'm gonna try my best to break out of it today I'm gonna try and have a good day it's the week before my period and I'm really happy I'm keeping track of it now because it kind of makes sense I don't want to use that as an excuse but I do feel a lot more sensitive and delicate the week before so I am learning about my body so Ben's been gone for five days now and I think it's been a little bit of an adjustment the first few days were completely fine but now it's started to sink in on living by my lonesome and something that I always have to readjust you I hit up my friend crystal and we're gonna go grocery shopping because we're gonna have dinner and then have a nice lunch in Koreatown and just making those plans and reaching out has already made me feel a little bit better I think I've had enough alone time and I've wasted too much of my life watching that goddamn show I did get some cool like modeling tips so Coco Rocha was on one of the episodes and she basically gave some tips on how to pose with your face and you basically do like different vowels with your mouth so you go a/e I owe you but just seeing the amount of poses you can do in 30 seconds was very inspiring tis the eve of Christmas Eve and it doesn't feel very festive at all I think it's because I didn't do any decorations around the house we didn't even set up the tree this year so maybe it's something I I should do today because tomorrow for Christmas Eve my Perry and my brother are coming over and they're gonna sleep over and it's gonna be nice so crystal and Kelly are my childhood friends I've known them literally since I was born growing up my parents were very religious they're still very religious right now there are Presbyterian Christians and so every Sunday we would drag our butts out of the house and go to church and at the time I was like oh like why like I felt like I never had a freaking day off because you know we had school Monday through Friday and then Saturday at Korean school and then Sunday I did go to church so I was like like I just want to watch Pokemon at home now looking back I'm really happy that they did that because it was nice to have like a routine and traditions and a lot of my moral and ethic values I learned from church so that's good and crystal and Kelly were the two people that I was the closest to every Sunday so even though I was dreading it I would still want to go because I would want to see my friends it's nice to be around people that have seen you in all phases of your life and so sometimes it's really nice not having to explain anything about yourself and just them understanding alrighty guys I am all dressed and on makeups on I went for like an easy peachy look my friend Crystal's here hello she is putting on some eyeliner she is finishing up her makeup and then we're gonna go to the Koreatown Plaza for some lunch it is my favorite Plaza my dad was highly recommending it when we were coming back from Santa Barbara is like this is the Rodeo Drive of Koreatown and I was like really okay and I go there and I could see why it was so popular in its heyday but now it's just like a time capsule of like the late 80s early 90s and I'm obsessed with decor and the food court is bomb there I'm gonna show you guys my favorite spot the famous Koreatown Plaza look at the floors Wow but some live music but a pianist and a vocalist but the festive Christmas tree and the decorations getting some grub first at the food court so this is a confessor how elusive and we got the fish cutlet highly recommend that what are your thoughts and feelings of the Koreatown closet so far very vintage looking people yeah like honestly a it gets a little overwhelming at first time when I first came here I was like I had to go to all the boots individually to make my own choices but I just like eating most of Ben's food when you went to the dopest house that's all right here I bet the tongue gets on that the plaza house and it was okay well maybe I were did the wrong thing - here it is this is basically a deep-fried fish with some rice and some macaroni is like for one person let's go over there and yet like [Music] so we just got back from the Korean town plaza and they also have a market there so we decided to get ingredients for hotpot I'm gonna put the stuff away and then we're gonna I guess prep for dinner even though we feel like we just did eat not tomorrow open and then crystal has graciously offered to help me put up our Christmas tree literally two days before Christmas I think it'll help me get more into the holiday spirit set up the hotspot / shabu station crystal and I have cut up all the green and washed them we've got some bok choy we've got some fish balls and oyster mushrooms dude the excitement we've done this all by ourselves I truly feel so freakin blessed for this day this has been the most memorable eve of Christmas Eve it's just really nice to spend time with your loved ones [Music] all right hot pot for Christmas Eve wha-hey round too late logic a the Melissa you go up you want time for presents as you can see my family we are not too big on presents okay up us homework ego no Oh Merry Christmas Wow oh my god check out the freaking rainbow a delay so Enoch but to keep up that my mom made she also put up some pears apples and persimmons today we're just hanging out with the puck today hello Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Merry Christmas aha they're always come on a Korean spot to be open on Christmas Day I don't know if I can finish all this [Music] everyone has left the house I am officially alone I spent the rest of the day just kind of organizing things and starting to write my plans in my bullet journal for tomorrow oh sorry I'm always scared chip D I'm sorry but yeah everyone's gone and geez I had an amazing Christmas with my family it was a point in the morning where I was getting ready and I could feel myself like dip into this pessimistic mood and I had to just kind of snap myself out of it because I did not want to allow myself to feel that way during Christmas and so I just thought like okay this is a really amazing day because I've got my entire family here everyone's healthy and I started to get a little bit more realistic with a sad undertone I bet I basically thought that in the future there will be a Christmas where my dad won't be here and my mom will be here and like God forbid something on James but basically I just wanted to appreciate the day that we have right now because life is so fragile and so delicate this year a lot of my friends have opened up to me about losses that they've had in the past whether it's a friend or a parent and I've never experienced deep loss like that ever and to be honest I do feel grateful and blessed that I have never experienced such deep pain on that level but I do know that it's something that I'm gonna have to prepare for so that like reality check just kind of snapped me out of it I just forced myself to kind of pick things up and it worked and then we went to the park and I'm reading daring greatly right now and I'm also reading another book I think lot like panchenko or something it's a it's a it's a book based off like three generations of Korean history and I'm like I'm trying to get into it but I'm still adjusting to the writers style but I think I just need to get used to the flow and I want to train myself to be a little bit more patient and try to understand from the writers perspective because I mean it's got really good I know I think two people have recommended it in the comments down below so I think I just gotta keep going in case it's like a it's a grower instead of a showers Ben and I called today and he said he's having such a good time with his family he does say he's a little bit burnt out socially because it's just like constant being around people and like meeting up with friends and family that hasn't seen throughout the year so I'm really happy that I asked that time to do that but I I don't know I [ __ ] miss him it's just weird okay still sleep on this side of the bed it's so crazy even though I like all this room but it just feels comfortable to be on the left side it's so funny I do have an affinity to the left like this is my good side I feel like I'm virtually unrecognizable for my right side if you notice a lot of my photos are just like the left because something about this right side I don't even know dude even when I go to hotel rooms I have to sleep on the left side or when we travel around the world like oh then we'll sit on the right side and I'll sleep on the left and if I try to sleep on the right side I am literally tossing and turning you know be sometimes right I don't even realize that I'm sleeping on the right side but then like 15 minutes in I'll be like babe like can I can we switch and then right when we switch and I'm back on the correct side I fall asleep like like that hi guys it is the day after Christmas I got all my work done a lot sooner than I planned so I'm really excited about that turned everything in I still want to do some like I don't know I still kind of want to write out my thoughts especially for my 2019 or my 2018 review video that's gonna come up and I really want to like flesh out a couple of treatments but I've noticed that my brain is a lot more active at night especially when I'm being more reflective and writing down thoughts so I thought today I would go to the Korean spa it's a big deal for me because it's been a long time since I've been to the Korean spa I think I've only been there a total of two times and that was both when I was in middle school with my mom and the only reason I went was because my dad had decided to renovate our bathrooms and so we weren't able to shower our cell so we had to go to the Korean spa and I just remember it being a horrific experience I hated my body I was so insecure and just being around a bunch of naked Korean itemize just was torture but I feel like now that you know I'm older I am the most confident I've ever been with my body and I'm trying to get over just I don't know just like nudity like ah and it takes baby steps so I'm gonna go out of my comfort zone and go to the Korean spa I was doing some research on what to bring to you a Korean spa and they said to bring your own like skin care products if you are more particular on what you put on your face so I think I'll do just that and I'll show you guys what I've got so I have grabbed all my things in this nice clear bag first up I've got my Moroccan body oil this is what I want to put on my body after I get scrubbed down this is a nice body serum and I know it says night body serum but does it really matter if I were in the day of the night I've got this it's a 10 miracle leave-in product for my hair I kind of want to have a little bit of a leave-in conditioner because my hair I could always use a little extra moisture then for my face I've got the Loreal pure sugar scrub and that's gonna exfoliate my face and then first serum I've got the sq2 RNA power just for a little you know retinol action I've got an eye cream which I'm trying it's the Rodan and fields I just started using this this week and then since in the daytime I'm gonna use my lemare reparative face Sun lotion with SPF 30 and then for my face wash I just threw in one Olay Daly facials they're dry so you can just like pop it right in and then it lathers up when you are using it with water and lastly a pair of underwear rolled up and yeah we're good to go guys holy crap I am [Music] all right let's go pick up Kelly by the way I am taking my friend Kelly because she is very very comfortable in her body like she's totally fine with nudity and I totally respect that I thought that she would be like the best person to go to the sauna with so yeah gonna go with her all right guys we have part this is Kelly and now we are in our very comfortable clothes I'm actually wearing an eggy yeah they do those a prototype all right here we are crystal spa entering you guys I am the most relaxed I've ever been experience it's been incredible I just got my entire body scrub by lovely clean agile and then I put my body serum we just got of the Himalayan salt room which is nice and hot now we're gonna wear some food so think of banging day so far yeah makes sense you know okay so we're making chickpea at Tinga tacos yeah and we are creating vegetable minestrone soup which is already finished oh I actually I don't know all these milder by hellofresh and today Bambi is helping me cook all these and we're gonna make dinner for our friends this is so spontaneous yeah it is nobody though so this is like not sponsored at all I just love Hello fresh and I have a subscription so I thought I would use it on you know a little bit alone now is there going out for dinner all the time I just wanted to cook it was like this is fun and it's kind of cool to see how our cooking styles are because like I would clean while I'm cooking and they're like you're multitasking wants like good tips oh my gosh guys look have we done well okay so I should be the minestrone but the soup actually totally was absorbed by the pasta so now we just have a pasta we've got the chickpea taco base got some Monterey cheese Monterey Jack cheese I'm sorry some tomatoes and some Isla Fenians yay Joey's here Thank You fan b.o.b forget jack yeah I'm like trying to do some boob tube again cuz it's like I'm sorry club boobs cube but I love it hi guys today's Thursday I am out and about with my friends got boo and iris a lot look how dirty my lenses Wow it immediately this but right now we're just gonna have lunch we're both good they have really great hotdogs I'm going to probably try the veggie one and then their french fries are also phenomenal they have all these dipping sauces I feel like this vlog is a lot of food but hey you got to eat three times a day sometimes four but before we eat I have to take a picture of my Daniel lunch and watch that I would kill two birds with one stone and your friends get some work done it's a good time iris what B are you drinking it is the inclusion carries it's a nice Belgian beer guru food is here such a well-done fries and I got the veggie hot dog very tiny [Music] hello I am back at home and I'm about to eat one of these rice krispies treats that Neutrogena sent I love when brands like to send me snacks and foods huh remember these tasting a lot better when I was a kid but I want to like kind of fill you guys in on the Korean spa experience because I wanted to talk about it I'm so freaking pumped that I went it's something that I want to do every month because just the way the Korean lady like scrubs your whole body it's so insane to see all that dirt and that dead skin on the table and you're just freaking naked and she just she has like these scrubbers on each hands and she just freakin goes at you it every nook and cranny she's got like my armpit this side she like in between like my thighs like she didn't go up the you know vagina but she or the lips or the labia she didn't go near there but like she got pretty damn close and I was like wow there's still like stuff coming out after my skin like it feels so freakin soft and I feel like just a snake that's shed its skin it was so liberating and then after like she washed my hair and she washed my face and it was just a very great experience because after we had washed ourselves we would go in the different types of like they call like kingi or bombs they have all these rooms where you can like lay out there's like a clay room there is a Himalayan salt room and then there's like a coal slash wood room it's just a very pleasant and calming experience I felt so zenned out afterwards and I'm really proud that I went to the Korean spa it's just something that I would thought to do with my mom I know my mom it's like a Korean woman thing but they go to these balls all the time with their girlfriends and it's just completely normal it was really healthy for me to see all these different types of bodies because I feel like I've almost been just programmed to think that the perfect body is you know that waif like Twiggy figure with you know like abs and like thighs that don't touch like I I it was nice to see like bodies that are just in different shapes and sizes and all walks of life got some grandma's bust for kids like it's just it was very very healthy for me to see that because it made me just realize like yeah like everyone's got a body and I'm healthy and that's all that matters and it's just kind of normalized the whole situation for me so I was really happy about that and I just felt like you know I went outside my comfort zone and I was rewarded with baby soft skin and something and that I want to do maybe like once a month just as part of like my whole like self-care routine because when you go there you can also get like a massage and get acupuncture you get a facial so I definitely want to start using like some of those amenities there so yeah I guess this is it for now for this vlog I want to thank you guys so much for watching and I will see you guys in the next one bye mwah you
