(light music)
- [Jenn] We're just editing, I think.
- Wow the lighting's so good.
Yes (laughs).
- [Jenn] I have just purchased The Book of Awakening.
This was recommended by Amy.
And so yeah, I've got all the books on my Kindle now.
- Cheeki knows when mommy leaves now,
'cause suitcases come out.
- [Jenn] I know.
- And she gets a bit confused.
And a little bit worried.
But at least Daddy's here.
At least the better one's here.
(Jenn laughs) - Hey, hey, now.
- We're gonna have a good time, yeah.
I'm gonna miss you.
- I'm gonna miss you.
(both laugh)
- Cheeki's in charge.
All right then, Cheeki, you're off to New York.
- Bye.
("Sunset at 3PM" by Ozoh)
Hello. I know you.
- I got a little amenities bag, pretty cute.
- [Jenn] Super cute.
- Yay, ready for what's inside?
Let's start out off with the bulky items.
- [Jenn] Ooh, socks!
- Green socks, St. Patrick's Day was just here
- [Jenn] I know. (laughs)
- Ear plugs, toothpaste, lemon towelette
Mints, I bet there's a pen in here
and a toothbrush. What do you think?
Damn. - Yes.
- Called it.
- (Both cheer) Girl trip!
(lively jazz music)
- [Jenn] Stephanie in her element.
Alright, we're getting some Chinese food right now,
I got the hot and sour soup.
- [Stephanie] I got egg drop.
- [Jenn] That looks tasty. Ooh!
(laughing)
- It's really snowing.
Aw man, Jenn, are you okay?
- Look at my face it's covered in snow!
- We got pizza, though.
Hopefully it's not cold by the time we get back
to our room. - It will definitely be cold.
- [Jenn] We went outside and we got our Joe's pizza.
My face is such a wreck. (laughs)
Oh my gosh, actually it's not that bad.
It looked a lot worse before
I wiped it off, but, this mascara is not waterproof.
Worth it!
(upbeat smooth funk music)
- All done! - And we're done, thank you!
- Alright, I think it's so cute.
- [Stephanie] How you feel? How you feeling?
- It's very manageable.
I would do this again, sometime.
- [Stephanie] Which you are going to do, cause now he's
going to do another time, so. - I'm addicted. (laughs)
(upbeat smooth funk music)
Oh my god. Oh, so cute. - Damn dude!
- Everything's okay?
- I hate it.
(Jenn laughs) (JonBoy gasps)
Dude, look at the little, tiny details.
This is beautiful. Thank you so much.
- [JonBoy] Thank you.
- Ah, I love it.
- [Stephanie] Show the girls!
(girls cheering)
- Oh, it's so cute. - Oh my god, wow!
- Oh my god, it's so pretty!
(upbeat smooth funk music)
- Alright, off to Barry's.
- [Jenn] Okay, time for my morning smoothie.
My morning smoothie is pretty simple.
All I do is get some unsweetened almond milk,
I put eight ounces of that.
Ooh, okay that's cutting it real close.
One and a half handfuls of spinach,
a banana,
and I'll just spray some chia seeds,
a scoop of protein, and a handful of ice.
(blender grinding)
Yum, ah, it's so good.
Alright guys, let us catch up.
I went to New York recently.
A company flew me out for a conference,
and so that was really cool.
Got tattoos, we got a wild lavender sprig.
We got this done by JonBoy and I love it.
Do not mind the dirty edges.
It's because when we first got it tattooed,
he had to slap this on to make it heal faster,
and we're supposed to leave it on for five days.
And so it's actually on it's fifth day now.
So I should probably peel it off
and wash it and then moisturize.
But yeah, I just got home from Barry's.
It is my favorite workout of all time.
It's like the hour goes by like that.
And like, the music's awesome.
Today was legs and butt day.
Ben is currently out of town,
he is in San Jose for a work trip.
And so I've got the house to myself.
It's nice, I like to, you know, yesterday night
I slept at like 10:30, it was lovely,
and then I woke up at seven.
So yeah, I'm just going to continue to work.
Today I am going to film my March favorites.
And so, I got to just compile the list right now.
Alright, so I just put my makeup on,
washed my hair, and I'm about to film, but,
I just took off that cellophane thing
off in the shower, and it's like my first time
seeing this tattoo without that wrap,
and, oh my god, it is stunning.
Wow, look how fine the lines are.
So I'm pretty sure a lot of you guys are gonna
be wondering what the meaning of this tattoo is,
and basically, it means wild lavender,
which is me and Stephanie's friendship name.
It was coined maybe four or five years ago.
Stephanie and I were out in Oakland at a bar
and there was this live band playing,
and I remember when we walked in,
I saw this sign and it said wild something.
And so, when we were listening to the band
I was like, "What's this band's name?
"Like, Wild Lavender?"
And it ended up not being the band's name
but me and Stephanie loved it so much
that we said that if we were to start a band,
we would be called Wild Lavender.
But first, I would have to learn an instrument.
Cause, I do not sing, I do not play any instruments.
I played the flute and the piano back in the day
but I don't remember anything.
Instead of a band name we just became like our
hash tag, friendship name, and now we got it
solidified on our bodies, and I think it's so cute.
I think every time I look at it, I think of her.
It just makes me so happy.
So I just uploaded this photo on Instagram.
And a bunch of people are asking,
"Oh my gosh, what did Omma say?"
And honestly,
she was not happy, once again.
It's so crazy that I'm like 27 years old
and like, still terrified of what my mom thinks.
But you know what, I just had to get it.
I don't know, I think this is when
the cultural differences are so apparent
because in America, tattoos are just accepted.
I feel like back in the day when people had tattoos,
for her it meant that you were in a gang.
And, I don't know, I don't know.
And I told her on the phone, like if this
is the only thing that is upsetting you about my life,
I think you have it pretty good.
Cause I feel like all the other categories
I've done to make her happy, like, you know,
go to college, you know, get a job, buy a home,
I mean, I feel like I'm allowed to get something.
- Oh no, Okay.
So, Cheeki got stung by a bee on her nose.
And so, I had to wash her nose
and then I just ended up giving her a whole bath.
But it's been twenty minutes now, and I'm trying to see.
It doesn't look like she's having a reaction
to the sting, so that's good.
She seems to be in good spirits.
She's just acting like her normal self.
Her tail wagging.
You okay?
Wow, that freaking scared me though.
I was throwing the ball out in the yard for her,
and I guess she was sniffing something,
and then I was too late. But it doesn't look like
she has a reaction and I don't think there is
a need to take her to the vet if she's fine.
You know, those vet bills really add up.
And most of the time they just say,
"Just wait for it to clear up."
- My salad arrived, I got an Asian salad, Ooh yeah
Okay I'm going to put the wonton's here.
Don't need these guys.
I feel like I should take you guys
to a different location so it looks like I've moved.
Okay here, how's this, how's this for a change?
I just finished filming my March favorites.
I'm just going to edit that and then
Stephanie and I are meeting up to go to an event.
We are going to the MyLifeAsEva ColourPop collaboration.
It's at Bungalow, so that should be very exciting.
It's like a really hip and happenin'
bar slash
lounge club in Santa Monica.
(salad jostling)
Grab some chicken, some lettuce.
Oh my god it's so good, Oh god, yes.
(upbeat funk music)
What's up guys, I am in the car.
Today is a day filled with errands.
But fun errands, like it's just going to showrooms
and I'm going to my second one right now.
I'm gonna pick up Amy along the way
because she has a meeting in downtown,
so I'm just going to scoop her up.
And then we're going to head to the showroom
and then she's gonna help me take some pics
for my Instagram, so, I'm really excited.
I love when Amy takes photos for me
because she's so good.
She is one of those shooters that it's like
(shutter sounds)
like it's like rapid fire.
So she'll just get you in the moment
and she also makes you feel really comfortable.
So it's always nice shooting with her.
I'm making sure everything is done
because tomorrow is my Eggie event.
I'm super excited, this is for our festival drop.
So, if you guys haven't seen that collection,
I will leave a link in the description box.
We are on the fourth drop, baby!
(electronic beat music) (Jenn laughs)
- [Jenn] Long time, no see! Hello!
- [Amy] Hello, hello!
(upbeat funk music)
- [Jenn] Who's back?
- Hey! I've missed my girls.
- [Jenn] Look who's back.
- It's lovely to be back.
- [Jenn] How was Cupertino?
- It was good, it was nice.
Went around Silicon Valley.
Saw like Google, Facebook.
- [Jenn] Yeah, your stories were crazy.
- Yeah, but it was nice, It was only a couple of days.
Very nice and relaxing, good people.
And now I'm back with my wonderful angels.
- [Jenn] Oh I know, she missed dad.
- You poor girl,
got stung by a bee. - She missed daddy.
- [Jenn] I know! She got stung in the nose.
- Poor thing.
- She is so resilient.
Look at her, it's like nothing happened,
she's like la la la la.
- You're a trooper, aren't you Cheeki?
- How can we both get comfy?
- I'm already in my comfies the second I got home.
Straight into sweatpants.
- Oh god, Cheeki actually gets jealous when we cuddle.
- She does.
- She's like, me too, me too.
You know, a lot of people were asking about you.
Asking if like, you were still here.
Because you weren't in my last March vlog.
They're like, "Where's Ben?"
- Where was I?
- I just didn't film you.
(laughing)
- For the best, she's understanding now that
everyone's like "Why is he always in there?"
- This is your air time.
- I'm back, this is my time, this is my moment.
- I know. Yeah, back by popular demand.
- Right, what can I talk about?
(both laughing)
(upbeat funk music)
- [Jenn] Oh my god, thank you so much, Ermela.
- Of course.
- [Jenn] Damn.
- [Ermela] Anytime you want to come over,
I'll make you food.
- [Jenn] Thank you, dinner with a view.
(both laugh) This view!
I think this is a sign.

(group chattering)
Hello everybody, it is the next day and holy shit. (sigh)
I literally can't believe that happened yesterday.
And I am just floored and overwhelmed with love.
I feel like it's all pouring out
because so much was poured in yesterday.
But, it's so surreal, I can't believe that was our event.
And I feel so grateful that I have
such an amazing team with me.
Everyone at Eggie,
everyone at Rare Global, and you guys,
for supporting and making this all happen.
It was so sick seeing all the guests rocking Eggie
in their own way,
and it just made me feel so full and I'm so happy.
Today I am back to reality, and I made myself
a bowl of kimchi-jjigae.
I made it myself, guys.
Check it out, there is a lot of soft tofu
because that's my favorite.
I have green onion,
and this kimchi is from my auntie, so, thank you!
Hello, different day, same damn shirt.
Just here to close out the vlog
because I am finishing up putting in
all the clips and I want to say goodbye.
I want to thank you guys so much for watching!
And I'll see you guys in the next one.
Bye! (kiss)
