I really hope this doesn’t sound weird but every time you post a video it reminds me how similar we are! I have been climbing for years. Love snow and ice settings, love books, am mostly plant based, love asmr etc etc.
it is just nice to see someone who is like me. I often feel so alone where I currently live. All my friends are in different states.
Just thank you for being you.
Just as I was thinking how alone and low this day has been, your video popped up and made it a little better... I always look forward to your vlogs, sending love❤🫶🏼
ah I'm sorry to hear that lovely, I hope it only gets better
Thank you for sharing about your acne. I also struggle with my skin and it‘s always nice to meet a fellow sufferer. Sometimes I feel really alone with those issues.
I too struggle with acne, but I’ve made my peace with it because it’s so hard to control. But you still look vibrant and beautiful as ever, ik you might not be looking for validation but it’s a nice reminder to know that our beauty still shines through even with some red circles on our faces 🤍
Grendel purring is the best. You know how there are music boxes - you open them and they play a tune. Well wouldn't it be cool if there were musical bookmarks, but when you open your book, the bookmark plays Grendel purring.
I live in the town that Small Things Like These is set in, so naturally I avoided reading it for ages. But Emma, Claire Keegan’s work is so STUNNING in the sparseness of her use of language. I hope you love her work. As an added bonus, they’ve made a film of the book starring Cillian Murphy which should be released later this year 💛
It’s so amazing to see how many people love your channel and your videos bring them as much comfort as they bring to me. You truly have a special talent or maybe it’s magic! 🌼
I'm on my second reading of Middlemarch, and my biggest advice would be to really focus in on Eliot's observational powers. Neither time round have I really felt any need to be 'invested' in any of the characters, because the thing that keeps me going is just how much Eliot saw in humans. I'm not sure there's another novelist or novel which has captured how people think and behave, and why, with such acuity. I see myself in every single character (yes, even Casaubon!). The novel is far more about how humans act, and how all our lives are shaped by the lives of those around us than it is about any of the individual characters' arcs. There are so many lines in Middlemarch that take my breath away with just how *true* they are. I really don't think there are many other artists of any kind who have done that on the level that Eliot does in Middlemarch. That said, good luck with all the eary 19th century politics, you're going to know more about the 1832 reform act than you could ever possibly have wanted to know by the time you're done 😂
p.s. Just a word of advice about stuff like facials - generally they'll get a commission for everything they sell, so it's always worth going and doing your own research on products before spending money (although you should wear sunscreen daily, regardless of the weather!) I have so much sympathy about the acne though, I have the exact same issue and it sucks 😭
Your advice on middlemarch was put beautifully! I'm of the loving it camp lol. I think mainly because I loove psychology so the focus being on the characters and how well Eliot has written them is so beautiful to me. Books are centered around looking at human nature are my favorite. I love that you said you can see yourself in everyone, I feel the same way! It takes some serious talent to be able to do that with so many characters. I'm in the last 200 pages and am anxious to see how things wrap up for everyone. I think it'll be hard putting it down once I've finished.
As a person who went through acne issues in my younger days (like a million years ago), I can imagine how tough it is for you. Probably you already talked about this at the spa or with some specialists, but I always recommend those who suffer from acne to deal with it from inside your body. Acne is more like inner body issues, and there's only so much you can do on the superficial level. It's always better to consult with your gynecologist if your hormonal balance is ok and go see your dermatologist. Seeing a nutritionist is also a good option, because you may have some sensitivity or intolerance with some type of food, which can cause chronic inflammation or harm the gut health. Sleeping well is also important as eating well, because it affects your hormonal function. Exercising, specially strength training, is so beneficial to your body and mind, so you're on the right track. Take good care of yourself, dear.
I have come to adore your channel, I love the calmness and serenity of how you edit your videos, it's such a contrast to the over-the-top editing of most channels nowadays (not that there's anything wrong with that, but a break from it is nice). Thank you for getting me back into literature and inspiring me to delve deeper into my reading :) love from Florida ❤
I really recommend the UA-cam channel 'Unintentional ASMR- Book Cleaning & Repairing'. OMG this guy just cleans mostly vintage Penguin books and chats in such a soothing voice and it's so satisfying to watch. Can't get enough lol
I feel you, girl! Sometimes my face is like on fire when acne strikes. 😢
i really love your lifestyle/"everything" vlogs, they're so motivational and just feel like home
You should try Korean sunscreen - so affordable and effective. There are Korean skin care stores at the Eaton Centre
God, I love it when I look for something to watch and then BOOM an Emmie video 💕
That's how it happens 😂
Your videos are so calming, the way you talk about books inspires me to expand my horizons and read more
The purring power of that cat!! 😻
I have been a ASMR Twix subscriber for a few years now. The tingly feeling and slowly falling asleep did wonders for my sleeping habits.
Absolutely loved this vlog. Sending good vibes for your next nest. ❤
Your reading updates always motivate me to read more! 😍
small things like these is such an incredible little book! i can’t wait for you to read it
Lifestyle vlogs are my favorite!! :) love to see you doing your routines and chatting with your cats
it's so nice that u are going to the gym!! I personally love it! wishing u the best
I’m so happy to hear you’re moving!! Are you moving with your partner or are they staying in the city?
I really appreciated the Grendel ASMR and one of my cats was like “who dat”
Sending you lots of love 💜
Love the little Horned Grebe interlude. I've never been that close to one. I usually have to look at them through a spotting scope from hundreds of yards away, in the freezing cold.
Thank you for posting this, I was needing some much needed comfort 🤍
damn girl your shoulders are looking STRONG 🔥🔥 keep it up💪
I don't comment very often if at all but I've been watching your videos for years and they're such a comfort, hope things start to look up for you, you deserve it ❤
OMG I can see so much progress in your muscle definition! I'm on my own journey of getting back into weight lifting (last time I did it was as a college athlete), and it's so inspiring to see how far you've come!
I HAVENT EVEN FULLY WATCHED BC I GOT SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU CLIMB?!!!!!? OMG!!! I love seeing other people loving the sport I love this is so cool. Been following you for a long time now and I just love seeing this!!
One time I got a facial and the lady also told me my skin was oily but dehydrated haha. I realized it was because I was stripping away my skin's moisture barrier by using cleansers that were too harsh and not moisturizing enough. My acne did become much more manageable when I started working on that. But I wanted to tell you the EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 is my ride-or-die sunscreen! Lightly moisturizing, nice texture, and doesn't smell bad! Anyways you look lovely with or without acne!
Thank you for opening up about your acne! I also struggle with hormonal acne and I feel so alone.
Yes Emma! Bouldering changed my wellness and connected me with all my new favorite people!
Loving the Grendle Growl! Not only because I have a soft spot for alliteration, but the sound feels like it would be calming if I were lying beside it. Enjoy your videos. Thank you!
i love getting your notification💝 i'm glad you've been enjoying exercising so much, you look really strong. please don't forget to get enough sleep while being so active.
Thank you for all your videos, they always feel like a warm hug!! Sending lots of good vibes your way so you can find the perfect place to move very soon
Can relate, I am also having skin problems recently and it truly sucks - I just have the added bonus of an extended (if fairly relaxing) reading slump so that's fun
Thank you for being so candid about your skin journey, I have the same issue 😅
Love these lifestyle type of vlogs 🥰
loving these long vlogs 🧡
Emma you look great! now straight to "one upon a broken heart" I swear I started it a week ago, I couldn't stop and finish the entire trilogy in 3, 4 days. The writing and structure improves greatly in the second book. You're going to love it. I haven't been able to read anything else because I'm still smiling at the beautiful and easy trilogy tat is. 💖💖
Emmie.... thank you for existing 💚💚💚
Wishing you good luck on finding a location to live that you’ll feel comfortable! Nice to see you getting back into fitness - it’s good for the mental state of mind for sure 😊
Hi Emma, this was such a nice vlog! :) As someone who’s really into bouldering, it’s nice to see you enjoy and talk about it as well! Actually watched this video on the way home from the bouldering gym. It was really comforting. Hope you have a good day :) Best wishes from Austria
i desperately need a part 2 day in the life of calcifer video now that grendel has joined the routine
omgg "beauty is a wound" is one of my favorite book 🥰🥰 It really is a standout classic. It's always a pleasant surprise to find someone else who appreciates literature from Indonesian writers.
I love livestyle videos and I love your cats! Such great videos thank you so much
Im 22 and my acne is really bad, red and painful and i feel so insecure about it and also it sucks to hurt yk but seeing you talking about it really helps. ❤
How awful what's happened with your shelves! Hope everything gets ok soon. The cats playing together is the world to me! Grendel's purrs are music! Sending love to you, darling Emma! ❤️
After a long and exhausting day, perfect timing ❤ also, love that you have mentioned another fave here in YT aka Chandler
this was a beautiful vlog thank u
I loved this vlog! I like the lifestyle insertions. Sending you well wishes and positive vibes. Your next home is waiting for you and will be there when you need it most, I trust.
I love the idea of Copilot! Thank you
I've been having a few rough days; my depression's been hitting hard. It was so nice to watch your new video, especially seeing Grendel's love towards you; he's such a loving buddy. Wishing you the best on your apartment hunting; I know it can be difficult and stressful. Greetings from Uruguay
The ASMR channel I have been binge watching is alwaysslightlysleepy, she’s so funny but relaxing
Hi Emma! I was so happy to see your video when I sat down with my coffee this morning. I'm glad to see you getting so strong and fit and being assertive about your health. I wish I had that going on. I have a video suggestion: a Spoilers AMA, where people could ask you questions about the books you've read - with spoilers - and about your life. I have some questions about A Wild Sheep Chase, for example, but they would definitely be spoilers if I asked them in regular comments.
You look so toned and strong. Even though i have been working out for so long, it is only recently i have been focusing on building strength and endurance. i am nowhere near my first pull-up but working on it in my nearby park cuz I dont go to gym. Also picked up on cycling after so long. Am obsessed now. Murakami's memoir on running was one of the reasons for my love for running and as a fitness lover am sure you will love it.
Emma, your travel photos hung in the background are wonderful. 😊
I had a friend who also struggled with this acne cycle and acutane fixed it all for her!!
Yes to more lifestyle content, yes to any content you decide to put out, honestly :)
the purring and the headbutting ;AAA;
so excited you're reading once upon a broken heart! it's such a fun series (even if you're right and evangeline is bland and a dumb) the second book in the series is just so good! (not going to talk about the last one tbh i didn't enjoy it)
sending you all the good vibes so that you can soon find a place that you feel comfortable in!
Two things of the many I love are skincare and books.
Affordable Sunscreen recs. Haruharu wonder airy fit (orange one), skin 1004 sunscreen (blue), shisedo sunscreen (blue bottle) and scinic sunscreen (blue). These are affordable and very good quality products!
Books: Prisoner of night and fog series by Anne Blankman and The Red Palace by June Hur. Great books.❤
Also, btw, I really like the Summer Fridays mineral sunscreen. It’s super light and it feels so nice on the skin. ❤
Grendel's antics are very familiar to me lol. I adopted a rescued one-eyed siamese cat that will never grow to his full size due to being severy malnourished as a kitten so he is tiny yet he has managed to wreck half of my bookshelves! Love the vlogs, keep 'em coming! 💜
Skeptical Pickle is my favorite asmr channel ever!!!!
Love your channel and everything you share. Never miss an episode. Your cats are so precious. Now I want to go ride my bike 💖
OH MY GOD IM SO EXCITED TO YOU WILL READ BEAUTY IS A WOUND!!!!!
Alexandria ASMR is the queeen I love her videos so much
This week has been a little rough so I’m excited to watch this video, I hope you’re having a good week!
Finalllly! I've missed you 💕
Great vlog 📚☕
❤❤❤the cat!🐱 great vlog always love your weekend/ weekly vlogs🤗📚☕
Thank you for the video!
Loooove Twix! Totally feel you with the acne problems and really appreciate your transparency with it. Btw I have found that Korean and Japanese sunscreens have much better formulas than Western brands and they're quite affordable. I order from YesStyle.
omg! you're reading beauty is a wound. i only read half of it in 2021 cos i sunddenly got dengue fever and when i was heal i was in a mood for something else. glad that there's a new motivation for me to read it. though i'm obviously gonna read it in bahasa indonesia.
also about acne, i had acne problems too during my teenage years and what help me resolve it was finding out what my skin needed. like the reason i had acnes were cos my skin lacks hydration and i also never exfoliate back then. so i use products that focus on hydration (products from korea/japan are good recommendations). and also exfoliate like once per week. thankfully it did well for me. and i hope you will find what suits your skin soon too!❤
24:53 highly recommend finding some book ends and it’s okay to have them two rows deep for a bit. Books like to be vertical, it’s better for their spines than horizontal stackage. Bookends will also help you kind of lock them together so it’ll be harder for furry friends to knock them off.
Omg I missed this as i was ready "beauty is a wound"
Emma, I love your hair long with your bangs grown out. It looks terrific! PS. Woodswoman is such a good book. I've actually read it twice.
Amazing vlog as ever❤
I'm sure you've already considered it plenty, but accutane is the only thing I would consider as a cure to acne. You can have the perfect diet, the perfect lifestyle, the perfect skincare and still break out like crazy due to genetics. When I was younger I had acne probably 5x worse (no exaggeration). Accutane for a few months straight up cured it, and 10 years since when I still don't get acne. People get hung up on side-effects, but the vast majority of people will experience dry skin while on the treatment and that's about it.
OMG YOU ALSO LOVE TWIX!! I love her channel too 😍
You ooze inspiration emma 💞
I love my bouldering gym membership. It's somehow both really fun and healthy.
I can absolutley recommend Amy Kay Asmr and Sarah Lavender Asmr, they are both so heartwarming and creative people, and Amy also does some fantasy themed asmr. 🧡 And 'Bookshop of Wonders' by Moonlight Cottage Asmr is just so cozy, never fails to put me to sleep. :)
hi Emma, just wanted to let you know that i also started having cystic acne when i started living in Paris and it was awful - especially since I was already an adult. i know what you mean about it hurting so much - and in France we kiss cheeks so it hurt a lot when i had to do it. i got on antibiotics for three years and switched up my diet, etc. I never wanted to go on roaccutane so i made changes from within after those three years of medecine. i almost stopped smoking, started cooking and eating healthy AND making sure i dont have digestion problems anymore (which i used to have as a vegan sadly). my best rec for digestion problems is to eat slowly & avoid wheat as much as possible or completely (i know that many americans cannot eat it bc of how poisoned it is in the states, maybe that's also the case in Canada?) & avoid refined sugar. i know that for some people it sounds like a very restrictive diet but if you learn to cook based on what works best for your digestion and your skin, you might end up loving what you eat! good luck Emma 👏
p.s. obviously if it gets worse in big cities, i would recommend moving elsewhere but i know it's easier said than done in some cases. ive noticed that when i spend 1-2weeks in a big city, I get a bit of acne, my throat gets easily sore and my hair becomes greasy and i get lots of dandruff. some of us have bodies that tell us how bad the environment is in big cities, it's a curse and a blessing at the same time.
p.s. ok i got further into the video and i wish you to find the perfect home outside of toronto!! 💃
I haven't watched one of your videos in a while, but I'm so glad I clicked on this one. It's definitely making the rough day better!! If you need a read from Sri Lanka, I highly recommend Funny Boy-a terrific coming-of-age book i just finished!!
I can’t recommend the combination of tretinoin and Spironolactone for acne issues! It radically changed my skin.
It is a struggle and is painful when you are having breakouts ❤️
Love your vlogs, Emma!!🥰 You should try putting Grendel in one of those baby wrap carriers😅
I was laughing how that duck or goose seemed to be swimming in circles. They seemed unsure of where they wanted to go.
I can't believe that Middlemarch isn't doing it for you, this is a wonderful classic novel and I've read it a number of times since my teenage years. I think four times now, I've always loved Dorothy and her story also the lives of those around her. I'm looking forward to reading this again soon. I'm glad that you are getting into the book now! I like Will too, he's super and wonderful character. I find in classics that lots of characters seem to be normal for those writers and very descriptive, too. Characterization important. I love Grendel and Cal, how long have you had Grendel now?
Have you been to a Dermatologist about your skin care Em, a Dermatologist might be able to help, I don't know. I feel for you about this, it's really debilitating for lots of people.
Thanks Emma❤
🧡🧡
Okay I read middlemarch with the audiobook and in the last 4 hours it became better! I hated it and wanted to find the snooze fest but I’d already dedicated too much time, then I got a migraine and listened to it in my dark room and it slowly got better until it was actually pretty good! 3.75 ✨
the vlogs come at the times I need them the most, I don't know how you do it
this happened to my bookshelves as well, had to put my own screws from the outer side all the way in to fix them
Heart of a Dog is great! I enjoyed it one summer long ago. Small Things Like These is very atmospheric. I also saved it for winter. I've yet to read Keegan's Antarctica...Thanks for another cozy video!
Hii Emmie, I really enjoy watching ur videos, it helps me uplift myself, with the vibes and all. Lately I was just thinking to watch ur video and here it comes. ❤😊
quick rec for sunscreen: Bondi sans is great! and cheap
As an acne sufferer myself, what worked for me when I was diligent about it was eating lots of broccoli, taking vitamin A supplements, and steaming my face to open my pores and then washing my face after. Not saying it will work for you, just saying, it actually worked and I was shocked! I feel ya! It is rough. Hang in there!
(Edit to say it was hormonal as well)
Hi Emma!
As a fellow cystic acne victim (?), I feel so seen! I switched up my birth control a few months back and had the worst breakout. It has taken me 6 months to get my skin looking half clear and this routine seems to work.
If it helps, this is what my skin care routine looks like right now:
1. Lemon & tea tree oil facewash
2. Salicylic Acid serum immediately after wash
3. Once that's dry, I use a light moisturizer (preferably dermatologist recommended)
4. Sun screen
And if I can feel acne coming on, I use a salicylic acid and niacinamide spot corrector which helps to dry the acne out before it ripens (for lack of a better word)
PS: I've got oily / combination skin for reference.
Good luck on finding your new home.
That reading chair is everything, Emma! Where is it from please? 😍
I've had terrible hormonal acne for about two years on and off, and finally succumbed to going to a derm where they gave me doxycycline. no joke, went away within a week. it's an antibiotic so if you're iffy about that I understand, but I took it for the full cycle (30 days) and it helped soooooo much. especially with that pain that feels like it's deep in your muscles.
You have the most civilized channel on UA-cam. Always a pleasure to visit it. Please keep doing what you're doing. 🙂
