@ Every English-speaker knows what given means. This new invention “gifted” just sounds incorrect. Also it is similar to “grifter” which is not the intention I’m sure! It seems perfectly reasonable to me to be given a product to try and then give an opinion privately or publicly. The audience will never know whether the opinion is genuine or not. We know it’s advertising. All quite neutral. Using the word gifted seems to be trying to make a distinction, why I wonder? Sorry for the long answer.
Agree, I’m not a native English speaker but I always think that using the word “gifted” is more of a marketing tactic. A gift is something nice by default in everyone’ s imagination, using it for promotion already implies positivity about the product and the brand that will be presented.
No don’t apologise. I’ve been around doing this since 2008 so I’ve seen all the ways things can change and how different words have been used. When “gifting” first became a thing no one, myself included, would say it had been gifted because it was so early on, numbers weren’t as vast and I suppose we didn’t see ourselves as advertisers back then. But now it’s a whole different ball game and for the last 7 or 8 years I’ve always wanted to be very clear on what’s been given to me and what’s been paid for as an AD. I’m always curious to see it from an audience perspective x
Please share your favourite homeware items of 2024. You mentioned bedlinen and a purifier. But a whole video would be brilliant featuring a full list of favourites
I feel the same way about the dyson, but never ended purchasing it. I've seen a lot of people selling it later on, saying that it takes time to learn how to use it. I would love if you can talk more about it. I also share the love for linen and the adidas spezial (they're soooo beautiful)
I would really like to watch a vlog on your regrets Emma! I love my Le Pilage bags too and also my brushed cotton sheets! I could quite happily stay in bed all winter wrapped up in these! I shared your earlier vlog on the Uniqlo bra tops with my daughter and she has the winter versions and loves them. I've also shared today's vlog with her so she can take a look at the air purifier, which might come in handy for her in her bedroom as she suffers from dust allergies. Happy Sunday to you, Simon and the Bs. Xxxx
Emma, I've had a UFO for years and LOVE it. Instead of throwing out the mask when done with my face, I like to either do another round or use it on my hands.
Loved these! I bought the M&S linen trousers on your recommendation and they were my most worn outfit last summer. I have my eye on the adidas trainers this year. The label maker is so cute!
Hi Emma. I think you look amazing for your 4th decade ( well, nearly! ) You always look so natural and it’s really refreshing to see a You Tuber who isn’t smothered in makeup. I always enjoy listening to your very honest opinions and really trust your advice. X❤️🥰
That’s because I’m terrible at make up, I just don’t have the patience for it. I want to be and out of the bathroom when getting ready 🙊 I also find that I don’t want to wear much as I get older because it sits in the wrinkles and creases. Less is more as you get older but that’s just my personal preference 🙊
Great video!! I will definitely be on the lookout this year for those linen pants and the label maker!! You have some good favorites packed in here. I wish our theatre offered deals like that but I do get a lot of gift cards during my birthday and Christmas for movies! I would like to see your 2024 regrets as I am trying not this year to negate some of my own 😂... Thank you for sharing!!
Hey! I’m a massive fan of Uniqlo bra tops too but I’m short waisted and not terribly tall so the cropped bra tops aren’t very cropped on me. Having said this, we were vacationing in Japan last year and Uniqlo Japan sells the same bra tops but full length!!! I bought a few 😃👍🏻
It's only January and I already know that one of my best purchases from 2025 will be the beanie from Arket that you recommended in your practical winter essentials video! I always thought I wasn't a hat person but this beanie has quickly become the best thing in my winter wardrobe. 😍
The secret to not growing old is not to think old. I’m 62, and whilst all my friends have given up wearing g strings, I haven’t, why would I when even at 62 I don’t want a VPL 🤔 it’s not as though my knickers need to support an incontinence pad, yet 🤣
Totally agree Sambas are uncomfortable. I sold mine. Purchased the Gazelles last year and after an initial breaking in of a few wears, find much more comfortable.
Hi Emma it could be great to have your feedback on the regrets list too 😉 As a french I'm a big fan of Le Pliage it's a real must for me too 😉😁I never use coconut oil on my face it's comedogenic and gives me a few spots the first time I've tried so be sure to exfoliate correctly (jojoba oil is the best for me) 😏😏 I wish you a nice Sunday 😘
Thanks for sharing. I entered my fourth decade last September 😂 Please share a video, or even in short form, on a tutorial using the Nimbot label maker. I'm very keen to try it and also enter this new era 😅
I always love your videos so much, and I've just bought a new pliage on Vinted thanks to you! I've had several in the past (I'm French) but they've become somewhat underrated now. I'll have a look at the space organiser you had mentioned in a video last summer.🥰 Enjoy a lovely Sunday by the fire! ❤🔥
I’ve enjoyed this Emma, a little different. I swear by my Adidas Gazelles, comfortable from the off, arch support, leather or suede. I’ve worn my suede ones in all sorts of weather, never cleaned them (to my shame) and they’ve been great. It’s funny to think that back in the 80’s Adidas was such a bog standard brand and cheap too! Your label maker is so stylish, love it x
It’s like how Asics were the really uncool brand that we wouldn’t have been caught dead in as kids/youths but now they’ve come back and Gen Z love them.
Similarly to you I bought Dyson under the influence of the internet 🙈 And I feel like it was the worse purchase I made ever. So would love to see you styling your hair with it! And yes we need regrets video!
Some great ideas there Emma, I love the label maker ( makes me wants to have a jar sort out lol )and air purifier, I have 2 dogs and I think it would definitely help with allergies in summer. I also have a monthly cinema pass, Iove it, I go each week with friends, my Mom or on my own, its my relaxation time and it saves so much money! Ps I also saw It ends with us twice as Ioved the styling and the flower shop but also there is so much going on it it I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything! Shame they've all fallen out now IRL.
Yeh I briefly saw something about some drama with Blake Lively on social media but I quickly exited before getting any in depth info because I didn’t want my feed to then be full of celebrity drama. The algorithms love doing that when you watch one thing 🫠
Great content, as always! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Wow 50 times to the cinema a year think only been like 10 times a year also depending what is showing. Cinema is so expensive especially evenings. I tend to buy the films the ones i collect and rewatch anyways i like collecting movies. Also more comfortable at home. That facial device everyone is using one in 2024. Suppose to be good for acne aswell. Adult acne is a nightmare. I hate wearing bras having a bralet inside clothes are great. But can be a pain after washing they move and have to reshape and fix them inside the clothes. Those bags i see so many people using them i like the navy colour one. They are great when on holidays to use. I think there are dupes versions for lesser price but quality probably not the same. I got a heated up hair brush for Christmas but doesn’t really straighten your hair. Nothing beats a hair straightener. Brush cotton bedding is so comfortable and warm. We use them every winter. But they can get those little balls if wash too much. Spring and Summer we use linen. We don’t use electric blanket or hot water bottles hear too much horror movies. But i do use them every winter hot water bottles to heat up the bed then take them out when get into the bed.
Yes the cinema is very expensive which is exactly why we got the membership so it costs less than a quarter of the price. Our cinema allows us to take our own food & drink too so we don’t often buy their snacks. It’s very cost effective and gets us out of the house, where we also work, for a little date 🙌🏼
My mind is blown you were able to get money off the airwrap with points! I thought you were only allowed to pay with points if they covered the full amount?! Have they changed it?? Will be soo happy if you can now use boots points for partial payment!
No they haven’t, I tried that, but I managed to buy a gift card with points. You shouldn’t be able to do that either but for some reason it worked for me 🙌🏼
The sambas seem to be quite a narrow model and I indeed find them less comfortable than my Adidas Campus. Plus the campus seem to have less synthetic lining which is making my feet cold in the Sambas (but it could also be that they're squishing my feet and cutting circulation off a bit). What was that made them uncomfortable for you? I ended up getting the sambas anyway because i like the cream colourway too much. But it stains so easily 😂 I'm eyeing out a pair of Onitsuka. As a millennial I wore them back when Tarantino brought them in fashion and I would mind a pair of the yellow ones from Kill Bill!
I have really narrow feet so had no issues with width but I just found them very flat, very hard and with no padding. They do not offer what I want from what’s supposed to be the most comfortable footwear we own 😕
I have now got velvet sheets very cosy with my electric blanket of course. I used to enjoy cinema but no more because of stupid air con its always freezing 😢
Love your videos Emma, lol I was the same with the Dyson (I was eyeing the hairdryer tho), I was like hell no it is that good. Then my cousin let me try hers and I was like woooow😆😅 So I got one for Christmas as a treat from my husband. The Longchamp tote is very iconic, I used to have one, and Im thinking I would like to buy one this year.
Emma! Thank you for these miscellanea, so nice to hear some good advice from different aspects of our lifestyles:) I just would like to make a comment on the Sambas. They simply are designed for slimmer feet. I personally adore them, my feet look ideal in them, so it's not that they are obviously uncomfortable by design, as for example most high heels, etc.😄 They simply are addressed to a certain type of foot. Probably a caveat would be needed. Funny thing: I had been wearing Adidas, including Sambas for years and it made me laugh when that certain year they became the it shoe sold for hundreds of euros 😂 I never buy mine for more than EUR 60. I use discounts and promotions. Lots of love to you all 💕
I have very slim feet so had no issues with tightness in width or anything like that, I actually had room to spare inside. They just felt completely flat with no arch support, hard and with no padding inside. My friend also has slim feet and finds them very uncomfortable for the same reasons. So if they’re designed for slim feet then technically they should be perfect for me but alas, they’re just not what I want from a pair of trainers 🙈
@EmmaHill Thank you for your answer 🎀! Oh, our feet are so different, I don't feel that lack of support. I just feel sort of lighter when walking 😆. Anyway, I am happy you found your perfect trainers and I will go for Spezials, too, since they have this darker sole, much more practical than the white one in, e.g. Gazelles, prone to becoming dirty and eventually yellowish 😆 (I believe Gazelles only come with white soles... Or maybe that was back in the nineties😊) Love, Emma! 🎀🌞🌹
The Miu Miu New Balance are definitely my colour scheme but I really hate when luxury brands team up with sports brands. £740 for a pair of trainers that would otherwise cost me no more than £100 (which is still a lot), nope 🤣🙈 The adidas style you mentioned aren’t my cup of tea I’m afraid x
If you head to my blog, there’s a link in the description box at the top, you’ll find all my outfits there. They’re Spring/Summer outfits so you can refine by season to make it easier x
I tried those Uniqlo tops in the store in Aus and they where too gapy under the breast area. Just unnessacery gaps. Didn’t seem well made at all and I think they were the cropped ones. Didn’t buy even though on sale.
Maybe you saw a different one. It seems like different options are being sold in different countries. I love them 🙌🏼 I’ve worn mine time after time and aside from a bit of bobbling they’re still going very strong even after washing every week. I have very small boobs so I will definitely have a different experience to those with bigger ones x
I don’t believe you can as I’ve never been able to before but I bought a gift card with my points, which you also shouldn’t be able to use points on, but I gave it a go and it worked 🙌🏼
As a German native I can confirm your Spezial pronounciation is almost perfect. You‘re just missing the i, which is pronounced like your e: Spez-i(„e“)-al 😅 PS: My Spezials are the Bermudas.
@EmmaHill like the originals. I just wear them as fashion so I am not walking a whole day in them. If I wear footwear for a whole day, they must have support like a proper shoe or boot. Thank you for answering
😆 well I have worn and washed both versions I have many, many times and aside from the bobbling shown on the Winter version they’re all still going strong 💪🏼
You’re going into your fifth decade, not your fourth. (Sorry!) But aging is a gift, and 40 is still so young, AND you look fabulous as always! I recently saw the film Conclave and loved it. You’re inspiring me to want to watch more movies in 2025. Thank you for another great video!
Haha don’t be sorry. I make jokes about getting older but I’m actually really looking forward to my 40’s 🙌🏼 I had a dramatic meltdown turning 30 but this feels so different 😃 What did you think of Conclave? We watched A Complete Unknown last week and despite neither us knowing much about Bob Dylan, not being ‘into’ his music and undecided on what we feel about Timothee Chalamet, we both really enjoyed it so would highly recommend that! We’re looking forward to September 5th as that looks really good 🙌🏼
@ Conclave was excellent! I don’t know how a movie can be simultaneously so quiet and so propulsive, but they somehow achieved exactly that. The cinematography was particularly stunning. I’m adding Complete Unknown to my list. May your 40s be your best era yet! 🎉
@@EmmaHillI'm going to watch this next week, I absolutely love Timothy, I think he's a wonderful actor of great sensitivity, his Wonka was wonderful ❤
I’m not offended by your spelling so no worries 🤣😘 We liked him in Wonka but it’s just such a specific character so wanted to see him do something else. We have never seen the Dune films so we’re a bit dubious that he’s just been overhyped. We loved the film though and both agreed that we’re more convinced by him as an actor.
Yes we did but we watched that at home as it was a Sky film so was on Sky as well as the cinema. I thought Nosferatu was different but I wouldn’t watch it again, it’s a one and done for me.
Yes would love to see your regrets 😊👍
Thank you for using the word given instead of gifted, I’ll leave it there. I love your authenticity which makes you my favourite content creator.
Thank you. Can I ask out of curiosity why you don’t like the word gifted? Do you find it misleading? x

Flannel sheets are one of the best things about Winter.
Yes please tell us the regrets, save me some headaches 😊
I love a visit to the cinema, during the daytime and on my own, particularly when the weather is bad.
I do like your vlogs, they are honest and realistic, offering options for people on all different incomes.
I LOVE the cropped Uniqlo bra tops! I lived in them this past summer!
Please share your favourite homeware items of 2024. You mentioned bedlinen and a purifier. But a whole video would be brilliant featuring a full list of favourites

I love the label maker. Makes the house looks more expensive and classy 😊
I agree the sambas ARE uncomfortable!!! Gives me blisters in the back of my feet
As a Canadian I can testify to flannel pj, sheet sets and duvet covers are a game changer in winter.
If they’re Canadian approved that’s all the evidence I need 🙌🏼😘
As always a lovely video. I would like to see one about your worst purchases, because I do value your recommendations. Enjoy your sunday!
Flannel sheets are everything
Flannel sheets are one of my fav things about winter ❄️. I also love my Spezials ❤
3:12 i have bad news…. 40s is actually 5th decade of your life, sorry.
Under 10 is first decade, and teens is the second decade, and so on.
Devastated 😭😆
Yes.. and when it’s your 40th birthday, you are starting your 41st year
@@EmmaHill 😂
Yes, 4 decades completed, entering the fifth decade. Don't feel bad; I'm entering my 8th decade!
Thank you for being the messenger 😉
Emma, I've had a UFO for years and LOVE it. Instead of throwing out the mask when done with my face, I like to either do another round or use it on my hands.
Oh I absolutely do another round 🙌🏼
U look gorgeous 😍 this hairstyle is awesome on you !
Thank you ❤️

Make more full length bra top in all colours 🎉.

I wonder why they have them in a full length version over there and not everywhere else 🫠
@@EmmaHillI believe that's the only version available in Japan as well, no ideas why. The crop version is sold everywhere else.
I love the bra top idea but they are always out of stock for my size 😢
It's only January and I already know that one of my best purchases from 2025 will be the beanie from Arket that you recommended in your practical winter essentials video! I always thought I wasn't a hat person but this beanie has quickly become the best thing in my winter wardrobe. 😍

So if they’re designed for slim feet then technically they should be perfect for me but alas, they’re just not what I want from a pair of trainers 🙈
@EmmaHill Thank you for your answer 🎀! Oh, our feet are so different, I don't feel that lack of support. I just feel sort of lighter when walking 😆. Anyway, I am happy you found your perfect trainers and I will go for Spezials, too, since they have this darker sole, much more practical than the white one in, e.g. Gazelles, prone to becoming dirty and eventually yellowish 😆 (I believe Gazelles only come with white soles... Or maybe that was back in the nineties😊) Love, Emma! 🎀🌞🌹
Would like to see the regrets. Life is sometimes about a little disappointment. You can't like everything!
Haha that is true. I don’t think I have 10 regrets but I can definitely try and gather some together for a video x
Could you do a hair styling video for us please?
I can indeed x
Yes, your hair is stunning, always but lately just perfection!
Emma i think you would love the adidas SL 72 OG in preloved brown. Or the Miu Miu by Newbalance. Please check it
The Miu Miu New Balance are definitely my colour scheme but I really hate when luxury brands team up with sports brands. £740 for a pair of trainers that would otherwise cost me no more than £100 (which is still a lot), nope 🤣🙈 The adidas style you mentioned aren’t my cup of tea I’m afraid x
Where are the sweaters from that you show in the pic with the linen trousers?
If you head to my blog, there’s a link in the description box at the top, you’ll find all my outfits there. They’re Spring/Summer outfits so you can refine by season to make it easier x
Love this ❤
Thank you for watching ❤️
I tried those Uniqlo tops in the store in Aus and they where too gapy under the breast area. Just unnessacery gaps. Didn’t seem well made at all and I think they were the cropped ones. Didn’t buy even though on sale.
Maybe you saw a different one. It seems like different options are being sold in different countries. I love them 🙌🏼 I’ve worn mine time after time and aside from a bit of bobbling they’re still going very strong even after washing every week. I have very small boobs so I will definitely have a different experience to those with bigger ones x
@ yes I figured that it may be just in the country. They look perfect on yourself. I’ll get some next time I visit U.K
I hate linen, too creased for me. I like things to look ironed.
In Summer I’m more concerned about keeping cool that looking ironed 😆
Regrets please
Wait, what?? 😅 You can now part redeem boots points on purchases? How did I not know this 😊x
I don’t believe you can as I’ve never been able to before but I bought a gift card with my points, which you also shouldn’t be able to use points on, but I gave it a go and it worked 🙌🏼
I was just scrolling the comments to see if this had been raised! It’s so annoying that they don’t let you part purchase.
Definitely want to see worse purchases video - also QVC sell great value fleece bedding in the Cozee Home range
Nice work 😊😅
Yes regrets please
One long commercial UGG
If only money just grew on trees
As a German native I can confirm your Spezial pronounciation is almost perfect. You‘re just missing the i, which is pronounced like your e: Spez-i(„e“)-al 😅 PS: My Spezials are the Bermudas.
Bravo !!!!!!!!
please Uniqlo hear our voices and make them tall version!! :))
Please tell me, do you use an insert in your Longchamp shoulder bag? If so, would you recommend one? Thank you so much Emma!
I do indeed. I found the perfect one 🙌🏼 If you head over to the review video and check the description box you’ll find it linked there x
❤❤❤❤
I wanted to love the uniqlo bra top but the cup just doesn't work on my boobs
Nooooooooo 😭 Sometimes boobs just want different things from life 😘
I'm very interested in knowing what colors you have the Longchamp bag in. White, black, blue and...¿? Thank you very much
Paper, black, navy & fawn in the large tote and an Ebony travel bag x
@@EmmaHill thank you ❤
I was going to ask the same question!
I love the Samba, for me they are comfortable. Sometimes, it is just your feet and the shape.
It’s not a shape issue necessarily it’s just that they don’t offer the comfort factor of a heavily padded New Balance with supreme arch support 😕
@EmmaHill like the originals. I just wear them as fashion so I am not walking a whole day in them. If I wear footwear for a whole day, they must have support like a proper shoe or boot. Thank you for answering
有用👍
Sorry but your lady can’t count… it’s your 5th decade but I can say I’ve just entered my 7th and it only gets better 🎉x
I think what she meant was that I’m currently in my 4th decade as I haven’t turned 40 yet. It’s me that took it the wrong way 😘
@ 4th or 5th you’re looking and sounding beautiful and happy. X
How does the bra hold up? Pun intended 😊
😆 well I have worn and washed both versions I have many, many times and aside from the bobbling shown on the Winter version they’re all still going strong 💪🏼
Wow I was shocked when you said you’re turning 40! You look like you’re in your late 20s early 30s max!!
Thank you, I’ll take that 😆😘
hate to say it... you are entering you fifth decade... sorry! however you look about 20 so age is only a number xx
I am indeed, clinging on to that 4th decade for now though 🤣 I jest, I’m actually really looking forward to my 40’s 🙌🏼
40 and onwards is the 5th decade of your life 😂
So I’ve heard 🫠
It is fifth decade of your life, not forth
So I’ve since learned 🫠
@ it is nice here in fifth decade, don’t worry a bit🤪
You’re going into your fifth decade, not your fourth. (Sorry!) But aging is a gift, and 40 is still so young, AND you look fabulous as always! I recently saw the film Conclave and loved it. You’re inspiring me to want to watch more movies in 2025. Thank you for another great video!
Haha don’t be sorry. I make jokes about getting older but I’m actually really looking forward to my 40’s 🙌🏼 I had a dramatic meltdown turning 30 but this feels so different 😃
What did you think of Conclave? We watched A Complete Unknown last week and despite neither us knowing much about Bob Dylan, not being ‘into’ his music and undecided on what we feel about Timothee Chalamet, we both really enjoyed it so would highly recommend that! We’re looking forward to September 5th as that looks really good 🙌🏼
@ Conclave was excellent! I don’t know how a movie can be simultaneously so quiet and so propulsive, but they somehow achieved exactly that. The cinematography was particularly stunning. I’m adding Complete Unknown to my list. May your 40s be your best era yet! 🎉
@@EmmaHillI'm going to watch this next week, I absolutely love Timothy, I think he's a wonderful actor of great sensitivity, his Wonka was wonderful ❤
Sorry I've spelt his name wrong, my phone auto corrects so quickly, very annoying lol
I’m not offended by your spelling so no worries 🤣😘 We liked him in Wonka but it’s just such a specific character so wanted to see him do something else. We have never seen the Dune films so we’re a bit dubious that he’s just been overhyped. We loved the film though and both agreed that we’re more convinced by him as an actor.
Hope you saw “Lee” with Kate Winslett. What did you think of Nosferatu?
Yes we did but we watched that at home as it was a Sky film so was on Sky as well as the cinema. I thought Nosferatu was different but I wouldn’t watch it again, it’s a one and done for me.
