This is my husband, Ben.
We've been together for eight years.
This is our fur baby, Cheeki.
And our son, Lennon.
He's almost a year old now,
and now that he's here,
we've transformed into a genuine family.
Yay! - Yay!
- My 30s have easily been my favorite decade so far.
I mean, granted I'm only two years in,
but I highly recommend this chapter for everyone.
You still feel youthful,
but you have all the wisdom,
that you've gathered in your 20s.
You're more financially stable,
you know what's working for you,
what's not.
You just feel more confident in yourself,
because you just care less about trivial things.
Whenever I'm having like an off day,
I just remember,
that I have been spending my entire life,
wanting everything that I have right now.
And if I'm being honest,
it's even better than what I imagined.
(soothing music)
We're a lot more stocked in the pantry than I thought.
But today is farmer's market day,
it's Tuesday.
So I feel like I should get some fresh produce.
Stuff in the pantry's looking good,
but maybe the fridge is a different story.
All right, all right.
I can get some bits and bobs.
I'm just gonna quickly make a little list
of the things that I should get at the farmer's market,
and then I'll be on my way.
(upbeat music)
There's actually one thing,
that I'm just dying to try right now,
which is this roasted garlic.
The woman said that
this is essentially just like a garlic sauce,
that you could pour on anything.
I also have some boiled pasta from the other night.
Mm, this is just next level.
I think there's Parmesan in here.
Oh!
(tap water jetting)
(soothing music)
Have you ever tried a purple cauliflower before?
Really?
- [Norma] Yeah.
- [Jenn] Oh, I haven't tried it before.
(soothing music continues)
(Lennon fussing)
- [Nanny] He grabbed the dirt.
- Yeah.
- [Nanny] He don't like running.
- Mm-mm, he just wants to walk.
He wants to walk.
(Lennon crying)
Are you excited for your dinner?
Today on menu,
we have chicken,
potatoes,
boiled papas.
Bye, thank you so much.
- [Norma] You're welcome.
- [Jenn] You're amazing.
- Goodbye Lennon. (kissing Lennon)
Bye, Cheeki,
bye, Jenn,
have a good night.
- [Jenn] Bye, Norma!
(Jenn speaking a foreign language)
- [Norma] You're getting good, Jenn (indistinct).
- [Jenn] I'm practicing,
I'm practicing everyday.
- [Norma] You're smart.
- More watermelon?
Very good.
Yes, you got it.
Good job, left, right.
(Lennon babbling)
Very good!
(upbeat music)
(plastic lid cracking open)
(gentle upbeat music continues)
Ben has dinner plans tonight,
so I've got the whole house to myself.
Baby's down for his deep slumber,
and I am treating myself to
this delicious bowl of mushroom ravioli,
smothered in roasted garlic sauce.
Does life get any better than this?
And the cherry on top is,
I have the new season of "Love Island" in front of me.
I'm on episode 28.
Let's try some ravioli.
I'm very excited for the "Casa Amor" episode.
That's what I'm waiting for.
- [Man On TV] Oh my God.
- [Woman On TV] How cute?
- [Man On TV] I couldn't sleep last night,
hold on for a second.
- [Narrator On TV] The wait is over.
- "Casa Amor."
Yes!
- [Narrator On TV] "Casa Amor."
- (clapping) Oh, I have to watch this tonight,
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna watch another episode.
I was gonna edit this vlog,
but that's not happening.
It's not happening.

On my way to West Hollywood.
I'm about to get my seasonal facial.
It is, oh my God,
it's about to be the end of summer.
No, we still got a whole month,
it's still August.
It's only August.
Ideally, I would like to get four facials a year.
One each season just for maintenance.
I personally haven't done any procedures yet.
I think if I were to do one,
it might be Botox,
but I don't know,
I think I'm chilling.
I think I'm chilling for now.
I do have like lines on my forehead,
but is that strange that I'm not really bothered by them?
I feel like I used to be more hung up on them,
when I was in like my mid-20s,
where I was like, "Oh my gosh,
"I have smile lines.
"I have crow's feet."
And I thought that I should get Botox,
but it was one of those things
where I just kept on like putting it off,
'cause I was scared.
And now that I'm 31,
and my lines are even,
I guess, more exaggerated,
I just,
I don't care.
I'm afraid of what it would feel like,
to just have my face feel frozen.
But, I don't know.
I feel like it's just such a common procedure.
I don't know.
No shame to anyone who's done it.
I'm also waiting to see,
well, like the long-term side effects are,
of just consistent Botox.
'Cause it just feels like such a short-term thing.
You get it done,
and then you have to get it redone,
every three to four months.
I'm like, "Is that something I wanna add to my routine?"
But for now, I think facials will do.
(soothing music)
- Yeah, I feel like your skin is hydrating enough.
Very nice, but there's stiffing in the T-zone area.
(soothing music continues)
(switch flicking)
(soothing music continues)
- Yay, thanks to you!
- [Shinobu] Oh, thank you so much.
- Thank you!
Oh my goodness.
That was the best.
Thank you! - Thank you!
Thank you Shinobu!
You're the best!
(both laughing)
Freshly extracted,
freshly massaged,
freshly sculpted.
It's everything, I love it.
Oh my goodness.
(soothing music)
(Cheeki howling)
(both laughing)
(woman singing in a foreign language)
(Jenn's mom speaking in a foreign language)
(Grandpa kissing Lennon) (everyone clapping)
- Yay!
- My parents just left to go to church.
And yeah they spent the weekend with us.
It was so, so lovely.
I feel like this is a time in my life,
where I truly cherish my parents.
There's no resentment,
no animosity,
or like, I don't know,
I feel like like parents and family,
they have the potential
to be able to trigger you very, very quickly.
What's that Ram Dass quote?
Like, "You know when you're enlightened,
"when you can spend a weekend with your parents."
I've always been really close with my mom,
but now I can really safely say
that me and my dad are so close.
I don't know what changed,
or actually I do know what changed.
To be honest,
I think it's just like my perspective
has changed a lot on people,
where it's easier for me to let people just be.
I think in my 20s,
I was in full like diagnosis and fix mode.
And it's like,
a lot of times,
things don't need to be fixed,
especially people.
You can't fix people.
And truthfully,
when I got into my self-development phase,
when I was 25,
that was one of the best things that happened to me.
But also,
I think I got a little carried away.
I just wanted to fix everything.
Just everything about me,
my personality,
just like, healing as fast as I could.
But yeah,
I think because I was so like critical of myself,
it just made me examine everyone,
in this like, "What do we need to fix you?"
Now that I'm in this mode
of just like radical self-acceptance,
it's just so much more easy to be around other people,
and accept them as they are.
Especially, it's always the people closest to you,
like your family.
So, yeah.
I feel like my relationship with my parents,
have never been better.
And I think that I'm just so incredibly fortunate,
to have both of them alive,
healthy,
still married.
I think it's just easier for me to see
the gifts that I have in my life right now.
I ordered my mom Chinese food yesterday.
She didn't eat the fortune cookie,
so let's see what the fortune says.
(fortune cookie cracking)
"A pleasant surprise is in store for you."
This is a nice, vague fortune.
(upbeat music)
Wait, is this the right place even?
- [Ben] Not the right building?
- It's not the right building.
- [Ben] All right, good.
- It's across the street.
So today,
we are going to our management's office warming party.
- Yay! - It's really exciting, yeah.
I've been on YouTube for 12 years.
I've only been with one management company,
Rare.
Rare genuinely feels like being in a family.
I'm so close with everyone involved,
and I love that they take out the time,
to make these special moments for us,
to connect with other creators and our team.
I want you to meet my manager, Ashley.
- I feel like I was a lot more wild,
in that I had energy in my 20s,
and now I feel a lot more settled.
Look at what we've created.
- [Jenn] I know, the office is so cool!
- I'm very proud of our office.
- [Jenn] And this is Vanan.
What are you looking forward to in your 30s?
- Just doing more,
and having more,
and being able to support the people in my life more.
In your 30s, you have more means to do what you want.
And that's really exciting.
You can live with more intention.
- [Jenn] How's your 30s been, Ben?
- Oh, my 30s.
I've been here for a little while, in my 30s.
They have been the best decade of my life, easily.
Obviously, Jenn, baby, all that stuff.
And the wisdom that comes with old age,
I think it's fantastic.
And having,
like Vanan said,
more intention,
more love, more gratitude,
and being able to do things as a community,
working together.
So when you see things like this,
this is what happens in your 30s.
People come together,
full love, gratitude.
It's beautiful.
- [Jenn] Okay, where's your office?
- This is my new office.
Gotta protect the back.
- [Jenn] Yes!
What is this, Jessica?
- It's really good mochi from Little Tokyo.
- [Jenn] Wait, that's you as a mochi.
If you were a mochi,
that would literally be you.
- You like filling or no filling?
- I like red bean.
- Okay, the red bean's actually really good.
Here. - Okay.
- This one. - This one?
This one looks so plain.
I'm sure it's like a party.
- I hope it's more red.
- Ooh!
- [Woman] One of the best red beans, right (indistinct)?
- Oh my gosh.
- Let it pick you.
- No!
I know what I want.
It's right here.
- No, try your intuition.
