- Happy new year.

- Happy new year, guys.

- Happy 2018.

- Yeah, we did it.

- We did it.

- Feeling a little bit delicate today.

- Oh yeah.

- Off to the family's place today.

Have some nice food.

We have a special guest, Angel.

- Cheeky.

This is gonna be really fun.

We play a lot of games like bingo

and yunnori (korean new years game).

- Yeah.

- My mom and Ben were in the champions--

- The finals.

- Yeah, the finals.

- I had no idea how to play the game.

Completely beginner's luck,

but I'm gonna try to do the same today

and actually win it.

- What's your tactic this year?

- Just to try and remember how to play it

and then that's about it.

- Honestly I don't know how to play either.

My dad re-explains how to play the game every year

and that's how it works.

- Yep.

(upbeat music)

- [Jennifer] So here is ddeok-kuk.

This is my favorite soup.

This is basically just a rice cake soup

with dumplings, some meat, seaweed, egg

My aunt

did an amazing job with the spread.

We've got some egg, some sausage,

some kimchi, japchae.

- This is all mine.

- [Jennifer] This is all yours.

This is your portion.

Happy new year, appa (Korean for dad).

- Happy new year.

(Best wishes for a Happy New Year!)

Same to you.

- [Jennifer] Thank you. )

thanks for the meal!

- Oh my god.

So tasty.

00:01:41,010 --> 00:01:41,843 - So good.

- One, two, three.

(Best wishes for a New Year!)

- You guys, look at this old photo of all of us.

I think this was my grandpa's birthday.

Grandfather looks great.

He's wearing the same hanbok (traditional Korean garments) today.

Wow.

I can't do any of these.

Oh, wait.

- Ooh. - Oh.

Oh my god.

Easy.

- [Group] Oh.

(laughing)

(cheering)

- Oh my goodness.

Oh my god.

You did it.

- [Jennifer] You did it, oh my god.

Yeah, you got it.

- [Dad] Oh my god.

(cheering)

- [Jennifer] Wow, this is strategy.

Wow.

(cheering)

And of course, you can't forget about dinner.

(Thanks for the meal!)

Thank you.

I (Dad) made it.

[Jenn] Dad, you made it?

Wow.

Chef (Dad).

- I (Dad) chef,

good chef, though.

(random Korean)

(upbeat music)

- Hello everybody.

It is Tuesday and I am freshly showered.

I feel so amazing.

This is probably one of my favorite things

is clean hair, clean body after a hard workout.

The comfort and joy you seek is waiting

and all you need to do is pay attention to it.

(chimes)

Wow.

- [Man] You just listened to the post

titled A Little Guide For More Comfort and Joy

by Courtney Carver of bemarvelous.com,

narrated by Jenn Im.

(upbeat music)

- [Friends] Yay.

Happy new year, happy new year.

Yay.

- How was Redbird?

- [Friend] It was so chill, guys.

- What kind of music did they play?

- [Friend] They were playing hip hop.

- [Jennifer] Dressy ass shoes, I know.

(laughing)

That must feel so weird

- [Amy] It is weird.

- [Jennifer] Have your toes out.

- [Amy] Yeah.

- Oh my gosh.

Good morning, it is Wednesday.

Amy and I are heading into Pilates.

It's gonna be really cold in the studio

and it's locked.

- [Amy] Go ahead.

- [Jennifer] Thanks.

- [Instructor] Punch punch punch punch,

15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10.

Nine, eight, seven, six, five.

- I would rather have this be tighter and fitted.

Cheeky has a visitor.

They're so happy.

As you saw, I had the Eggie team

come over to my house for a fitting.

This is for our fourth drop

which is gonna happen around music festival season,

so I am so excited to show you guys the pieces.

A lot of the stuff needs some work,

so I can't for everything to be perfect.

I didn't get the vlog Angela and Leona

but I work with them all the time,

Angela especially, so...

Leona is the lovely lady at Eggie

who makes sure all the measurements are correct

and she sends it over to the manufacturers

so that they can produce a correct fitting prototype,

and then we have Angela, of course,

and she is my right hand woman.

She helps me design everything for Eggie,

and I freaking love her.

She just gets me.

As you guys know, I didn't go to fashion school

or I don't know how to sew or anything,

so we work really closely together

to create these designs for you guys.

I'm heading out to Thailand tomorrow,

so I'm gonna start packing.

I don't have anything done,

and then I'm gonna have dinner with my friend Crystal

and then we're gonna watch our friend Kelly perform

so quite a jam packed night.

I'm gonna get some water.

But first, I'm gonna pack.

(upbeat music)

Hello everybody, happy Monday.

I am back in LA and it feels so amazing.

I just got back from Thailand

and I was gone for nine days,

so it feels just, I don't know.

I love traveling and I love being out

but nothing feels as good as coming home.

Right now I am on my way to the dentist.

I'm gonna get my teeth cleaned.

It has officially been six months

since my last teeth cleaning so going back

and hopefully there's nothing wrong.

Last time I got x-rays and I didn't have any cavities,

so the Sonicare is really working out for me.

If you guys don't have an electric toothbrush by now,

I highly recommend it.

I haven't had a cavity since that.

Before, every time, I would always go in to the dentist

with at least something that they had to fix,

so yeah, after lunch.

My mom is coming over with me.

She volunteered to clean my house,

and I'm gonna help her, obviously.

I don't know if this is just an Asian parent thing,

but every time my parents come over,

they are dying to vacuum, mop the floors,

and all that stuff and it's one of the perks, you know?

Let me know in the comments down below

if that's what your parents do when they come visit you?

But yeah, she has the day off.

Today is Martin Luther King day,

and I'm so happy it's being recognized.

Martin Luther King did so much for America,

especially for freedom.

He really paved the way for all minorities,

and if he didn't speak up or if he didn't

have that dream and he didn't speak up,

then we definitely would not be here where we are now.

(crowd chattering)

Hi, Emma.

Hi, Belle.

I know, hi.

Having lunch with eomma (mom)

and imo! (aunt)

All right, so we just got back from lunch.

My mom is over, helping me clean the entire house.

What did I do to deserve such an amazing mom?

Right now, Sam and Ben are at a cafe working.

Ben is currently working on my Jenn goes to Phuket vlog

and I'm so grateful because that day

or that trip was a lot of footage,

so there's a lot to get started on that,

and I wanna have that done as soon as possible.

So yeah, while he's working on that,

I'm gonna work on the house.

I normally don't like to call out the state

of my office, but I wanted to show you guys

the before so...

Here it is.

It has not been this messy in such a long time.

But yeah, my luggage is still here.

I gotta put everything away.

I gotta open some packages,

clean this desk up,

and right now I'm waiting

for my vacuum to finish recharging,

but yeah, cleaning day!

So the first rule that my mom has when she's cleaning

the house is that she likes to open all the windows

to get a good circulation in the house,

so that is what I'm gonna do first.

So I like to just take out all the stuff

out of my luggage first and then put my luggage away,

so that way I have no choice but to clean up

everything on my floor

or else it'll bother me like crazy.

So now I like to put everything in their little piles,

so right now I've got products.

We've got dirty clothes.

I don't know why I put this right in front of you guys.

I got shoes.

Clothes I wanna hang.

Bathing suits

and it just helps me keep organized

when I put everything away,

'cause then I'll know exactly where everything is.

(speaking foreign language)

(vacuum running)

I love this salad.

Hello.

It is the next day.

My office and the entire house are completely clean.

I wanted to show you guys the space.

Look at all this floor.

I love it.

Oh yeah.

I just feel so much more amazing

when my place is clean

because when my place is clean,

my mind is clean.

Who would have thought?

But anyway, last night was so much fun.

It was some good family bonding time.

We had dinner at Fig At 7th,

which is one of my favorite shopping places

in downtown LA.

They've got an H&M, a Zara.

They got a Bath and Body Works, Victoria Secret, Target,

but anyway, needless to say, I went shopping.

I got my mom a couple sweaters,

and I got myself a couple of things,

because it's been a minute

since I feel like I've shopped, but...

They had this crazy sale everywhere,

so first up at Nordstrom Rack,
