and she's back ladies and gentlemen. Seriously though, it's crazy to see just how differently you come across in this video compared to the videos from the last two years. I'm super happy for you Emma. I hope this new chapter brings you a ton of light, joy, and good books. 💚
So happy for you! I loved you in your beginning videos, and loved you in your Toronto videos, and I still love you. But I'm happy to feel such rejuvenation coming from your videos. I'm curious why you chose not to move back to London? ❤
My cat died this week and for what it's worth, the cozy vibe of this video and seeing your kitties comforted me in a way I wouldn't have imagined 💛 I'm also really glad you found a new place you like better 🌱
I have the tomato flushing too! Exactly everything you described. Putting a cold face mask on or even rubbing an ice cube on the face helps. A cold shower and drinking ice cold water after exercise helps too. But, the best thing that helped was when I stopped giving a F what other people think about it!! 🥵
I get extremely red while exercising too, and I also am part Scottish, and I also was made fun of for looking super red after running the mile in elementary school. It takes hours to go away after I push my cardiovascular system running, hiking, etc. I’m at peace with it now though.
Also any sensible normal human being shouldn't care how other peoples'faces look. I for once never cared that some people just get more red than others. People who make fun or comment on other peoples appearance for fun or ridicule always gave me the ick and i am glad as an adult i dont have to listen to that and avoid these people altogether 😊
I’m so happy for you!!! The bookshelves were absolutely meant to be! Honestly as someone who’s been subscribed for years and has heard you talking about the apartment, how you missed nature and quiet and how in the last few months you’ve been waiting for the perfect place so you could buy the right bookshelf, this video made me cry. Idk I feel like things (at least the ones in the video) are finally falling into place and yeah you just seem so much happier and lighter💗
Emmie you're radiating happines!! The apartment and bookshelves are gorgeous, it'll be so cosy when it rains. I'm so happy for this new chapter of your life.
I have the same flushing issue! My dermatologist said it was “transient erythema” due to blood vessels being so close to the skin. I always try to have something cold to hold on to, especially before a big presentation or after working out. I have had similar comments from others over the years, but have tried to just embrace it. Sending lots of good thoughts ♥️
Same here! Felt so seen when Emma mentioned this. I turn bright red when i flush or get hot and especially when i do cardio. Im a runner too, so i do relate to being embarrassed about it from time to time, cause i dont see alot of people with the same problem.
@@ester797 Guys you might have rosacea. It's a genetic condition and pretty common. There are prescription creams for it but I also found Azelaic Acid works well, applied twice per day (in the morning and evening) after any serums you might use and before moisturising (wait a few minutes to stop it piling!)
Hi Emma, I thought I’d mention it because it happened to me : maybe get some curtains for the window next to your bookshelves if the sun hits the books directly. I had a similar situation and most of my books were discoloured… 😢
@@myriam8190 I've had this happen too. I live in a place where the sun is INTENSE! Yea, it'll bleach your books over time. In the summer, I can sanitize and help brighten my whites in the sun 😂 🌞
You could consider getting sheets of clear UV film to put on the nearest windows -- from what i understand most of the sunning damage to book spines, etc. is from the UV radiation in the direct sunlight. Clear UV film will go onto your windows like wallpaper -- make sure no air bubbles! Happy reading.
Emma you look so much happier and seeing your new oasis with a view over trees,the sky,and the light flooding in (soo happy for you!!!)... Sending you warm hugs all the way from Sweden🐿🦇🦇🍁🍂🫖🥧🍵☕🎃🕯📓🖋📚
love seeing Calcifer and Grendel having such a jolly time in your new home. And your happiness truly shines through the screen. The view of the clouds in your home was stunning!
I am also a fellow red-face haver when I do literally anything. Speaking for 2 minutes in a work meeting? completely red and hot. I also get overheated really easily and it really cuts down on my ability to do outdoor activities in the summer. I live for fall and winter! Love the new apartment and so glad you are in a more nature filled place!
I know we havent actually met but i have been watching for such a long time this genuinely feels like watching a friend start a new, much happier chapter. I cant wait to watch you talk about books in your new home ❤
I'm from southern Ontario origianlly, the willows, the water, the GREENESS of everything on your walk made me ridicously nostalgic for Ontario. Enjoy it!
I never realized how important nature was to my mental health until I moved from michigan to california. I am in an area nowhere near water, there are barely any trees and the grass is yellow and dead like hay. I totally get how it effected you living in a place where you didnt really have access to nature. I am glad you finally are somewhere you want to be.
You got such an amazing view from the new house! I would honestly grab every opportunity to read looking out the window or (even better) out by the trees 😍🍁
This is such a throwback to 2021 when I first started watching you. Walking through the woods, the squirrels and the geese! I’m so happy for you Emma, you’ve found your little nook🌻 51:54
So glad to meet a fellow whisker collector! I think the fact that your books fit so perfectly on the new shelves is a sign that you are where you are meant to be!
I have the exact same thing about going red, especially soooo red when I run. You’re not alone. And yeah, I struggled so much in my teenage years because of it. But I have no idea what to do about it. I just learned to live with it. And I don’t really care anymore. But omg so nice to know others also have this issue, especially my favourite youtuber ❤❤❤
@@emmiereads Guys you might have rosacea. It's a genetic condition and pretty common. I'm Irish so might be a Celtic thing :) There are prescription creams for it but I also found Azelaic Acid works well, applied twice per day (in the morning and evening) after any serums you might use and before moisturising (wait a few minutes to stop it piling!)
I have watched since the construction apartment and I've rarely commented, mostly because what can I say that is of any importance? However, I just want to say that it makes my heart happy to see that you are thriving in your new space.
the vibes of this apartment feel like the apartment you were in when i found you three or four years ago. it’s like meeting an old friend again and the nostalgia i get from the vibes might make me cry!
i got sooo emotional when you finally put the final book on the shelves, i literally cried :,) it all fitted perfectly onto place, like it was always meant to be and it looks so damn beautiful and in the right place :,)) i'm so happy for you emma, may you always glow with this happiness. i love you
Strangely, this is the 3rd time you've taken us through something in your life at the same time I am going through something very similar where your words and watching your process has been incredibly helpful and comforting for me on a personal level. Oddly, its often been with a move. Might be a weird thing to mention since I know I am just a random person on the interwebs, but this is the third time its happened so I thought worth mentioning. At a certain point things aren't coincidental for me. I truly feel I found your corner of the internet for a reason. Thank you
Im a little tomato too!! I get so red and i cant control it, especially in the summer but i blush everytime i get embarrassed, which makes me more embarrassed. Thank you for talking about it, makes me feel less alone. (And my dads side is from Scottish origins too!)
I have it specifically when I run or do more intense exercise only thankfully, but running is really the worst for it. It’s the only time I become a full on tomato
OMG I am loving these videos! I recently moved and have been feeling lonely so these moving vlogs make me feel all cozy and warm. With them I feel like I can do it without breaking down every 5 minutes!
Emmaaa this is fantastic, i lso moved out 2 days ago! And I'm living a similar experience. I've yet to bring my cat with me and arrange my bookshelves ugh your videos are just like my fantasy: yoga with cat around, beautiful bookshelves, alone in an apartment. Just great, love you bye
Popping by to say two things: 1) it makes me so happy and brightens my day so so much to see you in a new space and new place that suits you so much better - so happy for you, and 2) fantastic mr fox… man, it’s my favourite movie of all time and the random snippets of it and the soundtrack in this doubly made my day thank you off to watch it again tonight 😂 Hope you have a gorgeous gorgeous day!!!!
i also recently moved into an apartment with my boyfriend after living with my parents (it had always been bad but the last few years were the worst) and i am so much happier. i relate to you so much when watching these videos especially your last vlog when you talked about feeling trapped in an environment that wasn’t for you and not knowing when you’d get out of it. we’ve both made it out!! we got sick with covid after moving so unpacking has been a slow process, but already my apartment feels like the coziest place on the planet. i’m surrounded by love in a place i’m building for myself with my partner and my cats. i hope that you feel all the love and remember just how many people are rooting for you :)) congratulations emma i am truly so happy for you and excited to see your place come together over time
been keeping up with your videos for a few years now; i like your taste in books and think you're so sweet, i'm really glad you're so happy now and that things are going well for you!
this apartment deff looks like one of your earlier ones! almost same layout! also an emmie moving vlog in the fall? the vibe is unmatched, so happy to see you happy and with all your books having a home
Hey Emma, you're looking so much happier and it's lovely to see. These bookshelves look amazing! About the redness, I'd look into rosacea if I were you, there are treatments for that (you won't be able to get rid of it, if it's that, but you'll be able to tone it down). Take care!
about the overheating: my boyfriend's family has this as well, and they found that putting a wet towel around their neck helps :) apparently temperature doesn't even matter, it just has to be wet. Maybe that works for you as well!
Ohh Emma, this new apartment reminds me of the last one you lived in before moving to Toronto. This one is obviously bigger and there's more light but I don't know... also this kind of vlog... with you making coffee in a big kitchen, having a walk and seeing all the animals... It's like going back but into new things. The new bookshelves look really nice but you know very well that it's not gonna last because new books will definitely arrive 😂
I have the same problem with red face! It also happens when my feet are really cold. I have not a solution, but it helps a bit to take a breath and wash my face with cold water (or put a pair of socks), I think we just have to live with it.
So so so happy for you Emma, never been happier for a person i've never met but it feels like i know you forever since i've been loving your love for reading for so many years now. Wish you nothing but happiness in your new home, thanks for a long video :) 🥰🥰
I moved as well at the ending of september and I feel so refreshed. In my case, the people I was living with drained me out. Almost a year of life sucking out of me. But I'm happy now, I feel like myself again. I dont feel lost. I can only imagine how you must be feeling with a place and solitude as beautiful as this❤
Actually this is the 3rd move I've seen you make. If you can build a computer you can build a shelf. Oh the variety of trees ! The weeping willow seriously made me weep, I live in a pine forest. I'm reading East of Eden so I'm already emotional. Shelves look great. Nice to see you happy😉😃🤗
46:29 I’m the same! Bright red face whenever I do any form of exercise or embarrassing, to the point that people ask if I’m ok. I’ve no idea how to stop it, I’m 51 yo and it still happens (no really the embarrassment side only the exercise) AND my family are Scottish, so maybe that’s it? 😊
I have Scottish heritage and I go red like this too!! It takes so long to calm down and I used to get teased at school too- I don’t think you can change it because it’s just how close your capillaries are to the surface of your skin so when you exercise and you get hot the blood comes closer to the surface to cool down faster. It’s proof you used your body and raised your body temp - it’s a healthy little glow from a Celtic warrior 😂
I have a similar problem with being easily flushed. I am NOT built for the heat, yet I live in the Southern U.S. I have a strong Irish heritage, so I am super pale, burn easily, and blush at the slightest physical activity. My feet also get so red after running. I would love tips lol. There's many reasons I love fall. I am so glad that you are doing better mentally since you have moved! Also good luck with your Masters! I am currently trying to complete mine in History. I really recommend finding a community at school because that will go a long way to helping with your mental health. It becomes a harder mental battle the higher you go in education. And there is absolutely NO shame in taking the time you need to graduate.
You always make the most charming and relaxing vlogs. I hate to see them end. Your new apartment looks great. I love all of the windows and all of the sunlight streaming in. The bookshelves are awesome. It looks like the kitties will enjoy climbing on them too. 😊
emma I turn red and hot in the sun as well and I’m literally brown and live in one of the most tropical areas in the world! I was told that it’s just our body trying to protect us by adjusting the temperature so I guess it’s fine? your new bookshelves are so beautiful and I loveee your energy in this video ❤️
For the redness: drinking cold water to keep you cool, cold compress afterwards. Maybe try a moisturizer that has aloe or something that is calming/says its for redness. Can also try an ice roller
I’ve never ever heard of anyone having the same issue with going bright red all the time and I feel so seen🥺 I wore heavy makeup through school because I was so self conscious, would never contribute in lessons as I’d always go red etc. I’ve grown to accept it more now but it’s still there niggling whenever I do anything, but you’re definitely not the only one!!❤ on another note, you already seem so much happier! While obviously we only see a snapshot of your life, you seem a lot brighter in yourself, which is lovely to see❤
face going red after you run- it happened to me when I first started running, I would go bright red and my face would pulsate and I would have a hacking cough after but the more I ran the better I felt after. You just need to give your cardiovascular system time to adjust, the longer you keep at it the better it'll be. Now I feel fine after a run. I'm glad you're getting into running, it's lovely to see people discovering the joy of it. Good luck for the half marathon!
I ADORE the big windows, the amount of light is fantastic and it's a perfect reading area! Also, love the shelves. I'm planning to turn our spare room into a library room I've been looking at a similar open-back shelf with metal rails like that, I like how they look :)
Good luck with the running! I’ve been running 15/20 miles a week for around 6 years now! It’s an extremely rewarding hobby once you hit a decent level of fitness (and get over those annoyingly frequent early injuries). It’s all about conditioning, your body will get there in time!
i wish i could post a photo of my library. i just moved recently and i used my grandmothers crusty brown vintage bookshelves and gave them a new life and it makes me so happy to keep her spirit alive in this way. they’re ofc unique to me and free of charge 🤣
Hi Emmie, does Grendel have daily access to grass/cat grass? Cats need grass/greenery for digestion and trace minerals/vitamins - some graze more than others. He may be eating your plants because he doesn't have an alternative. If he does have greenery, try another type until you find something appropriate. I'm lucky to live in rural England and my cats have free access to the outdoors. The first thing they do when they go out every morning is chew off some grass. Also be careful with housepkants, as you likely know, some are poisonous to cats - essential oils too (their liver is unable to metabolize them. Your new apartment looks great, I'm so happy you've found somewhere you feel more comfortable, I wish you all the very best in your new home. P.S. I read Sipsworth after hearing you recommend it. What a lovely, heartwarming story! I was very surprised at who the " old lady" turned out to be. I guess you just never know. X❤X
Found you in april of this year when I was having a really bad time with uni. You brought back my love for reading and hearing you talk about your struggles really helped me overcome my own and for that I am extremely grateful. Really glad that you are feeling happier in your new home and that the cats seem to be adapting well to their new enviornment!
Love your new bookshelves! I think the open back is perfect - it lets light in and makes the space light! Love seeing your collection get their spot in your library :) So happy to see you settling in so well :)
I’m so excited you’re reading the vampire lestat!! I’m not much of a re-reader, but I return to that book over and over again ❤️ It’s my favorite in the vampire chronicles.
I found one of these shelves on FB marketplace! I quickly realized one was NOT enough and ordered one on Wayfair as well to add to the other side of the living room. I love how they look!
Hi Emma! I hardly ever comment on you tube videos but seeing you be so happy and at peace with a quiet neighborhood motivates me to have this one day! I live in Southern California specifically in the LA area so you can imagine how much noise I hear on a daily and I have people calling me a loner because I prefer peace and quiet but I still manifest a peaceful life for myself one day ! 🙏🏽 keep going Emma! ❤
Love the way the shelves turned out. Perfection! I have also always turned beet red with ANYTHING I do….sweeping, mowing…..but I sweat a lot so I am not overheating 🙅🏻♀️. And I do get embarrassed when anyone sees me and comments.
Fellow tomato here 😂 I'm very sensitive to temperature changes, so my face just goes full red whenever it's a but warm inside, especially if I'm coming in from being in the cold. I'm not talking cute red cheeks, I'm talking full blown red face to the point where people ask if I'm OK. Also happens when I do cardio, but that usually goes away after I cool down and drink some cold water. I've learned to live with it, I just wish people would stop asking if I'm OK when I go red, that makes me feel embarrassed so I go even more red 🥲 You're not alone!
I'm really happy for you, Emma! You look so happy. 🥰 I saw your Bookshelf Tour from 2020, and I've been a fan ever since! Thanks for helping me discover the joy of reading. ❤️
This is the fourth apartment I’ve seen you live in and this is the happiest you’ve ever looked ❤
:') you've been here for so long
@@emmiereads 😁

I've had similar experiences in the past, and just have sensitive skin in general, I find that not eating refined sugars tends to help.
Same! I can feel my chest and neck getting hot and red.

I moved two years ago and the loneliness is still hitting hard. This vlog makes me wonder if I should just go back home to my family haha
We definitely need an updated classics collection!! ❤

You already look so much happier! I hope the new place is going to bring you so so much joy. 🧡
Seems so much more peaceful. Hope you and the cats are happy and well, Emma.
So happy to see you amongst nature again 😊
Popping by to say two things:

Hey Emma, you're looking so much happier and it's lovely to see. These bookshelves look amazing!
About the redness, I'd look into rosacea if I were you, there are treatments for that (you won't be able to get rid of it, if it's that, but you'll be able to tone it down). Take care!
A typical Emma's cozy vlog! Loved it! Emma, wish you all the happiness of the world in your new home! ❤☺️😚
Nice! I'm really looking forward to seeing how the new apartment is coming together! I hope it's everything you wanted it to be. 😊
Leonie, Emma, Desiree, Jack and Cari all five of them moving out this year is what I didn't see coming😮
about the overheating: my boyfriend's family has this as well, and they found that putting a wet towel around their neck helps :) apparently temperature doesn't even matter, it just has to be wet. Maybe that works for you as well!
You can use the stand in the balcony for plants or make it a cat furniture 3:17 you can add it to the bathroom as well for towels etc
Ohh Emma, this new apartment reminds me of the last one you lived in before moving to Toronto. This one is obviously bigger and there's more light but I don't know... also this kind of vlog... with you making coffee in a big kitchen, having a walk and seeing all the animals... It's like going back but into new things.
The new bookshelves look really nice but you know very well that it's not gonna last because new books will definitely arrive 😂
okay i just started watching and i'm already smiling from ear to ear! i'm so happy you're happy with your new home!!
I have the same problem with red face! It also happens when my feet are really cold. I have not a solution, but it helps a bit to take a breath and wash my face with cold water (or put a pair of socks), I think we just have to live with it.
it makes me so glad to see how fresh and vibrant the new place and area are, and how renewed and vibrant you seem in them ❤ happy housewarming
So so so happy for you Emma, never been happier for a person i've never met but it feels like i know you forever since i've been loving your love for reading for so many years now. Wish you nothing but happiness in your new home, thanks for a long video :) 🥰🥰
this made my day, thank you:) sending waves of happiness back your way
I moved as well at the ending of september and I feel so refreshed. In my case, the people I was living with drained me out. Almost a year of life sucking out of me. But I'm happy now, I feel like myself again. I dont feel lost. I can only imagine how you must be feeling with a place and solitude as beautiful as this❤
Actually this is the 3rd move I've seen you make. If you can build a computer you can build a shelf. Oh the variety of trees ! The weeping willow seriously made me weep, I live in a pine forest. I'm reading East of Eden so I'm already emotional. Shelves look great. Nice to see you happy😉😃🤗
46:29 I’m the same! Bright red face whenever I do any form of exercise or embarrassing, to the point that people ask if I’m ok. I’ve no idea how to stop it, I’m 51 yo and it still happens (no really the embarrassment side only the exercise) AND my family are Scottish, so maybe that’s it? 😊
I have Scottish heritage and I go red like this too!! It takes so long to calm down and I used to get teased at school too- I don’t think you can change it because it’s just how close your capillaries are to the surface of your skin so when you exercise and you get hot the blood comes closer to the surface to cool down faster. It’s proof you used your body and raised your body temp - it’s a healthy little glow from a Celtic warrior 😂
I have a similar problem with being easily flushed. I am NOT built for the heat, yet I live in the Southern U.S. I have a strong Irish heritage, so I am super pale, burn easily, and blush at the slightest physical activity. My feet also get so red after running. I would love tips lol. There's many reasons I love fall.
I am so glad that you are doing better mentally since you have moved! Also good luck with your Masters! I am currently trying to complete mine in History. I really recommend finding a community at school because that will go a long way to helping with your mental health. It becomes a harder mental battle the higher you go in education. And there is absolutely NO shame in taking the time you need to graduate.
Love your vlogs emmie! It’s so healing to be surrounded by nature, i’m very happy for you 🎉
I LOVE A LONG VLOG FROM YOU EMMIE !
You always make the most charming and relaxing vlogs. I hate to see them end. Your new apartment looks great. I love all of the windows and all of the sunlight streaming in. The bookshelves are awesome. It looks like the kitties will enjoy climbing on them too. 😊
syrofoam = great for when your things to not get damaged when travelling, but LITERALLY crumbles to pieces and gets everywhere when you unpack
The motivation kicked back in by watching this. Hopefully someday i can also move to my dream home one day. So happy for you!
emma I turn red and hot in the sun as well and I’m literally brown and live in one of the most tropical areas in the world! I was told that it’s just our body trying to protect us by adjusting the temperature so I guess it’s fine? your new bookshelves are so beautiful and I loveee your energy in this video ❤️
You look and sound so HAPPY!!! I could not be happier for YOU!!! Love your content!!! So glad to see this change ❤
For the redness: drinking cold water to keep you cool, cold compress afterwards. Maybe try a moisturizer that has aloe or something that is calming/says its for redness. Can also try an ice roller
I’ve never ever heard of anyone having the same issue with going bright red all the time and I feel so seen🥺 I wore heavy makeup through school because I was so self conscious, would never contribute in lessons as I’d always go red etc. I’ve grown to accept it more now but it’s still there niggling whenever I do anything, but you’re definitely not the only one!!❤ on another note, you already seem so much happier! While obviously we only see a snapshot of your life, you seem a lot brighter in yourself, which is lovely to see❤
face going red after you run- it happened to me when I first started running, I would go bright red and my face would pulsate and I would have a hacking cough after but the more I ran the better I felt after. You just need to give your cardiovascular system time to adjust, the longer you keep at it the better it'll be. Now I feel fine after a run. I'm glad you're getting into running, it's lovely to see people discovering the joy of it. Good luck for the half marathon!
I ADORE the big windows, the amount of light is fantastic and it's a perfect reading area! Also, love the shelves. I'm planning to turn our spare room into a library room I've been looking at a similar open-back shelf with metal rails like that, I like how they look :)
Omg, I collect my cat's fallen whiskers too. They're such a cute keepsake haha. I get a lot of blush from both heat and cold, especially the latter.
You do look so happy Emmie. Con grats on recent move. Blessings, luv and good 📚!
Good luck with the running! I’ve been running 15/20 miles a week for around 6 years now! It’s an extremely rewarding hobby once you hit a decent level of fitness (and get over those annoyingly frequent early injuries). It’s all about conditioning, your body will get there in time!
The Vampire Lestat! Wow! I used to read that when I was in high school, and I feel like I want to read it again. 😍
i wish i could post a photo of my library. i just moved recently and i used my grandmothers crusty brown vintage bookshelves and gave them a new life and it makes me so happy to keep her spirit alive in this way. they’re ofc unique to me and free of charge 🤣
That shot of you doing yoga and the impossibly blue sky behind you is just 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Hi Emmie, does Grendel have daily access to grass/cat grass? Cats need grass/greenery for digestion and trace minerals/vitamins - some graze more than others. He may be eating your plants because he doesn't have an alternative. If he does have greenery, try another type until you find something appropriate. I'm lucky to live in rural England and my cats have free access to the outdoors. The first thing they do when they go out every morning is chew off some grass. Also be careful with housepkants, as you likely know, some are poisonous to cats - essential oils too (their liver is unable to metabolize them. Your new apartment looks great, I'm so happy you've found somewhere you feel more comfortable, I wish you all the very best in your new home. P.S. I read Sipsworth after hearing you recommend it. What a lovely, heartwarming story! I was very surprised at who the " old lady" turned out to be. I guess you just never know. X❤X
The windows!!! I would love to live in a place with so much light. You seem so happy too! 😊
Found you in april of this year when I was having a really bad time with uni. You brought back my love for reading and hearing you talk about your struggles really helped me overcome my own and for that I am extremely grateful.
Really glad that you are feeling happier in your new home and that the cats seem to be adapting well to their new enviornment!
Love your new bookshelves! I think the open back is perfect - it lets light in and makes the space light! Love seeing your collection get their spot in your library :) So happy to see you settling in so well :)
I’m so excited you’re reading the vampire lestat!! I’m not much of a re-reader, but I return to that book over and over again ❤️ It’s my favorite in the vampire chronicles.
seeing you so happy and simply loving life in this vlog is so heartwarming, esp when you said everything is where it needs to be and so are you :')
this has to be one of my fav videos so far. it's very nice to see you smile with that bright eyes again
27:40 yes!! I would love to see all your classics
Great job assembling the bookshelves together, Emma 😄👏🧡 They look amazing and perfectly situated 👌 and they give a really unique look at the end 🤩
I found one of these shelves on FB marketplace! I quickly realized one was NOT enough and ordered one on Wayfair as well to add to the other side of the living room. I love how they look!
Your new place has so many beautiful windows! So happy for you!
Hi Emma! I hardly ever comment on you tube videos but seeing you be so happy and at peace with a quiet neighborhood motivates me to have this one day! I live in Southern California specifically in the LA area so you can imagine how much noise I hear on a daily and I have people calling me a loner because I prefer peace and quiet but I still manifest a peaceful life for myself one day ! 🙏🏽 keep going Emma! ❤
That swan trying to fly is a visual representation of me trying to get through life fr 😂 Congrats Emma! All the best 🍀
best.comment.ever! 😂🙏🏼
never give up ~ one day you'll take flight and soar. 🎈💫💚
😂
Oh boy was that satisfying ! Such a stunning library Emmie !❤❤❤
I so enjoyed this video.! You did a great job assembling the bookshelves and organizing your books. I really like your new apartment!
Love your new place, so happy for you! Seeing you slide the last book onto the shelf….perfection!
It's so nice to see you happy again with your family of cats and books ❤
It's finally happening!! You're moving to a place that makes you happy AND you're reading The Vampire Lestat!!! I'm so happy and excited for you ❤❤❤
Love the way the shelves turned out. Perfection! I have also always turned beet red with ANYTHING I do….sweeping, mowing…..but I sweat a lot so I am not overheating 🙅🏻♀️. And I do get embarrassed when anyone sees me and comments.
Fellow tomato here 😂 I'm very sensitive to temperature changes, so my face just goes full red whenever it's a but warm inside, especially if I'm coming in from being in the cold. I'm not talking cute red cheeks, I'm talking full blown red face to the point where people ask if I'm OK. Also happens when I do cardio, but that usually goes away after I cool down and drink some cold water. I've learned to live with it, I just wish people would stop asking if I'm OK when I go red, that makes me feel embarrassed so I go even more red 🥲 You're not alone!
I'm really happy for you, Emma! You look so happy. 🥰
I saw your Bookshelf Tour from 2020, and I've been a fan ever since! Thanks for helping me discover the joy of reading. ❤️
