Decluttering my small wardrobe & an honest chat about body confidence
I have exact same hair like you waves (hair texture) and colour❤...You look so beautiful and will love to see your journey❤...i have also started my wavy hair journey recently
ahh thank you so much! hope you enjoy the journey with it too!! 🥰
Hello! To mute your tamagotchi press the first button and then the third button at the same time! Then to add the sound back do the same thing!😊
I get very sick from the covid vaccine.... but I still get it. My sister got Guillain barre syndrome from her flu shot maybe 14 yrs ago, so I'm scared to get it. But I love watching your vlogs❤
Ahhhh! RF5! How are you liking it so far?!?! Also, I love that you and Michael go on these little trips together. So lovely and cute! Those are very cute pumpkins, by the bye. You definitely win the spooky gingerbread house contest. 😂 Would LOVE to hear what you think of the chair~ Thanks so much for the video Emma!
i'm loving RF5! the main drawback i'm agreeing on that a lot of people say is that the map does feel quite large/overly spaced out/empty in some places, but the gameplay is fun, and there's lots for me to explore/figure out! and thank you so much for the support on both channels! 💕
I always enjoy your vlogs. 😊 I have made gingerbread houses from kits and have bought them for my kids. One year, it busted, so my son added a toy dinosaur to it as if he smashed it. The kids usually eat it afterward, but it's not very tasty. It's more of an experience and decoration. Then trash. They might freeze, but otherwise, just invite bugs. As for me, I don't celebrate Halloween, but I love fall decorations.
Thank you! and oh my gosh the dino addition is *genius*!
One of us! One of us!
I've got a flu vaccine through work the Thursday after next. No covid though. Fingers crossed I have some immunity left from last years dose!
Hi, I've tried those 2 apps and obtained the same results as you, cool summer on style dna, and cool winter (mostly) on colorwise. Tried colorwise multiple times, with mostly cool or true winter in winter and cool or true summer in summer (I loose some of my contrast when I tan) So, I am probably in between. Though the intensity and and contrast might be right , the color temperature is way too cool for me. So, I decided to drape myself with colored papers I find around the house and bought some textile samples on amazon. The results on my skin were quite obvious. I cut a small part of those papers and textiles that make me look my best. I punch a hole in each of them and attached them to a key ring. And voilà, my own personal color palette, unique to myself My own personal palette doesn't correspond to any season, I need the intensity and contrast of cool winter but the hue is a lot more neutral like a deep or bright winter or deep autumn .
I am currently running 3. The 3 remakes of Gen1, Gen2 and the Connections. Really loving it, but I managed to raise darlings who doesn't fuss much, so checking them once an hour or so and it's all good :D
When your tama started shouting, I immediately checked my own xD Even if I just put them to bed lol
my little sister has the pink sparkles (she is turning seven in December 2024)
I made the most of the L&Y jeans sale too and ended up with exactly the same first pair in exactly the same size (38r Addison's in midwash blue!) 😅 I also got them in light wash. I think the shape of them is really complimentary for bellies and thighs. I love the patterned ones too! So glad you had such a successful trip. There's nothing worse than a dud clothes shopping trip.
I love this! twins! aren't they so comfy?!
There’s something that feels so good about putting on clothes that are “you”. I got a cardigan from Lucy and Yak’s sensory friendly collection this summer that I truly love.
I have the exact same issue with my tummy area, but the second pair were flattering! And the green pair were even more flattering! I'm glad you grabbed them both. I currently only have one pair of jeans that I like myself in, and I can not find any other ones that make me feel ok.
Finding 2 pairs of trousers is 100% a big win 😂 WHY ARE JEANS SO DIFFICULT
HONESTLY! Especially ones that are comfy and going to last 😆😭
@@emmalutionIRL for real! 😭
For clothes i pretty much only can shop at Yours clothing. their sizes are made for plus size, the fabrics are always very comfortable and soft, and they even do extra wide shoes which is amazing for me! they have a lot of very nice dresses (:
OH i forgot they existed! i need to have a look in there again, thank you!
@@emmalutionIRL i got some dunagrees from them a while back and the denim is actually pretty nice, so you might have luck :D <3
Fluctuating in size is so annoying! Like, I can't afford a whole new wardrobe, nor do I have the energy or skill to alter my clothes. 😮💨 I found that (not too tight) shape-wear can help a bit but it is such a faff so I don't wear them often. 😅 The new jeans look great! I especially like the ones with flowers! 😍 The green dungarees are also a 10/10 for me!
I like your new jeans.
I have the same tama, just different logo.
I found two of my childhood tamagotchis back in january and it sparked an urge to start collecting in me too. So far I’ve gone from having 2 to having 22 lol
YESSS I LOVE THIS!
Hi Emma, I did watch till the end :) Btw, the "baking works better with grams than cups" thing is probably because, over here in the good ol' US of A, a cup is 237ml. If that sounds wrong to you that's because a cup is 250ml in the literal rest of the world that utilizes the vastly superior metric system. Our gallon and I think fluid ounce is also different than the 'imperial' versions for some reason? I grew up in a country that uses metric and I still have a hard time with it. Anyway, if you're baking something really finicky like a souffle, or if you're doubling or tripling a recipe, this difference can ruin the recipe; however it shouldn't be a problem for simple small-batch home baked goods. I also wanted to share a really amazing easy/lazy 'healthy' breakfast - no pressure to actually try it, I just think it's amazing and more people should know about it. (Credit for the original recipe goes to Blogilates.) 1 smashed banana mixed with one cup of traditional rolled oats. Make them into 2-4 cookie shapes and bake on 350F/180C for 15 minutes. The 'dough' is really weird and you think it wouldn't work, but it totally makes a cookie! Not like, a delicious cookie to satisfy your cookie cravings, but still something relatively cookie-esq. Plus it's gluten free and vegan and low sugar and it provides a good amount of slow energy (as opposed to a sugar rush followed by a crash). I do think the recipe is kinda boring though, so through years of testing I've come up with the following: 4 smashed bananas 4 cups of oats 50ml neutral oil (canola or sunflower) 50ml brown sugar 100ml cocoa powder (I really don't like bananas and this masks the taste lol) Obviously the size of bananas differ quite a bit, so if it looks too dry or too wet, add some oatmilk or oats, respectively. It should be relatively wet but it should stick together. Shape them into cookie shapes and bake for 15 min on 350F/180C. Note - there's no rising agent so they won't get bigger or spread out, make them as big and thick as you want the end product to be. I bake a batch of these over the weekend and they yield 10-12 pretty big cookies that freeze quite well. They make for an excellent easy breakfast or lunch after nuking them in the microwave for a bit. Someone in my family is allergic to like, all the things, and 2 cookies for lunch is perfect to tide them over until dinner.
ahh thank you! and also thank you for becoming a member of the berry basket on the main channel! that makes a lot of sense! i think it's also because my brain probably wont hold the "best practice" for measuring in cups either (e.g. what if the flour is more compacted on a certain day, or for one person vs another, then it would be more flour than if i just weighed it, so i dont always remember if i should pack it in there or just swipe it off at the top etc), so it wouldnt even make sense in my head to even convert them in case of that inconsistency! oh and thank you for reminding me about the banana oat cookies!! completely forgot those existed! I also made something like this a few times but quite literally just bananas and oats and nothing else! the additions from that recipe will def add a lot of yummy flavour, so i might have to give these ones a go as well!👀
If you don't get along with the CeraVe Spf moisturiser I recommend Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun or La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Oil Control SPF50+. They're really nice spf/moisturisers. I love CeraVe face washes, my skin always feels so nice and clean, and it manages my acne well. For their moisturises my skin tends to break out or get really oily when I use their moisturisers on my face. It depends on your skin type so if it works for you that's great! The way I always hear CeraVe said is Se - Rah - Vee. And OMG that cookie sandwich/burger! The fact it tastes good is kind of shocking to me but I'm really curious now! All that sandwich talk is so relevant now.
loved the 1 hour vlog, cant get enough of the IRL content 💖 PS. Your hair is so lovely and thick ✨
if you're looking for a funner name for your scrambled banana eggs - the scrambled pancake dish Kaiserschmarrn could be some inspo!
oh that's WAY more fun!!!
❗️I came to this Video because you appeared in a BBC News article I was reading. I never had a proper Tamagotchi but did have two Virtual Pets in mid-1997, a cheapo £10 one I saw in a TV Guide and then the clear yellow Cat Giga Pets (m.th-cam.com/video/VQi_YrCUNrg/w-d-xo.html). I was kinda tempted to get one for old times sake but Pokémon Sword and Go! kinda fill that need of looking after-ish digital creatures. PS: I love the Wii music in the background.
❤
Family and Consumer Science (Home Economics) teacher here. Brown sugar does not expire. The date on the package is a best before date, meaning it might clump more after that date. I love your curls and I'm still watching. 😊
that's really good to know! thank you! and appreciate you so very much as always!
The tracking on the camera makes this feel like Im a kid sat on the counter watching you bake 🤣🤣 or like an unskippable cutscene lmao. the new camera looks great tho!
ALSO! I've tried the CeraVe moisturizer with sunblock, and I really dislike it. You can feel it on your face, and it feels heavy. I want to take it off right after. The night time CeraVe is ok. But I would see if you could maybe get samples of it, first. I've even tried using less, and I just really don't like it lol. But it could work for your skin! I'd just hate to have you waste money on something you didn't like
oh gosh! did you also get the spf30 version? I saw a 50 and a 30 and got the 30 because it was more easily available when I ordered it and it seems pretty nice and light for me! definitely know that some sunblock moisturizers can be SUPER oily though, and I do usually avoid that feel!
@emmalutionIRL I got the 30 SPF and it just stuck. If that makes sense? Almost tacky lol I hope it works better for you, though!
I'm loving this!!! I'm gonna make the cookie recipe... did you just make regular burgers for the rest of that recipe? Keep up the great work 🥰🥰
the cookies were SO good! definitely still gotta make them again, lemme know what you think! definitely won't be rolling in extra sugar next time though. yes! I just got whatever was available at Lidl at the time! but what I REALLY would have wanted to use is jalapeño burgers because I think that would be awesome (and burgers with jalapeño in are just my favourite!) and thank you!
I’m the same with food, I can’t eat it hot
Ask your hairdresser to thin your hair out rather than cutting layers. It sounds like that might be what you want.
oh it could be actually! but i do like having my thick hair, it's more that i'd like some of the dimension back
an hour long vlog!!!! what a treat 🤩
Why is mimitchi no longer the best to get on uni mimitchi is my favorite but it makes me sad that she is no longer the best
Much love to you on the difficult life adjustment <3. Glad that the mobility aids are of help to you, and absolutely however you need them and they're of most help. (Though I understand feeling anxious about it a bit, feelings will be felt and there is ableism, so apprehensiveness about confrontation isn't unreasonable. Rest assured, it is absolutely reasonable to use them in the best way to aid your mobility though, of course.) Also, good on you for giving in to the brain gremlins! Such a tempting box.
Is it possible to change the language?
You have to find the right case for your Tamagotchi Pix.. the first silicone case I ordered for it did that because it was made too tight of a fit.. I bought one from another company and the case is larger and doesn’t rest on the camera shutter at all and allows it to sit exactly the same as if it didn’t have a case on. 😊
ahh i might have another look then, thank you!
16.99 pounds is around 23 US dollars?
I didn’t know Tamagotchis while growing up, the one I had was an Nano pet. Then after 2000s I found out about tamas.
❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Emma! Firstly, I want to thank you for sharing. Being open and vulnerable is hard under the best of circumstances! Straight up, you've inspired me today! Not sure if you'll read my entire letter, it gets long lol, so wanted to say that first. Also regarding your pets: I want to commend you for doing the right thing. It is absolutely NOT A FAILURE ON YOUR PART to realize you can't give them what they need right now!! Too many people treat having a pet as though they're getting a potted plant or something, and when it gets inconvenient they get angry at the pet. Your careful consideration and genuine caring for their wellbeing makes me respect you 100X more. Now for the unnecessary long rant: I was diagnosed with RA (rheumatoid arthritis) at the ripe ol' age of 15. I'm in my mid-30s now. I know how infuriating it can be to be bombarded with 'advice' from total strangers, but here's my two cents: Most importantly, the psychology of 'chronic' vs 'acute'. So here's the thing: most people will suffer from pain, tiredness, even the common POTS symptoms, sometime in their lives. Even often! But the thing is, no matter how bad it gets for non-chronic folks, they KNOW IT WILL GET BETTER. This is such a big deal that people just do not understand. You stub your toe, or break a bone, whatever; you get a prognosis of "it'll be bad for 6 weeks but you'll do rehab and you'll recover". Having a chronic condition means there is no "sometime it'll be better". Which is HUGE. Us chronic folks don't get to say that. We have to wake up day after day asking "HOW bad is it going to be today" instead of "just 2 more weeks then I'm back to normal!". And having a condition that isn't "gasp omg you have cancer" or something that's physically visible (NOT that I'm trying to say those folks don't deserver all the love and care etc.) but having an 'invisible' illness makes it worse sometimes. I've basically divided the people I meet into three categories: people who see me and immediately doubt me because "there's clearly nothing 'wrong' with you" (f*** those guys), people who go "omg are you OK?! you know, my mom's friend tried this thing and it..... (well meaning but can you please just stop); and honestly my personal fav: "oh, sorry to hear that. so, did you see that sports thing last night or whatever ---". Maybe that's overly cynical. I know I've probably over-engineered my own life around my (lack of) day-to-day functionality. I sometimes feel that I'm stopping myself from living my own life by not wanting to plan for anything, because I simply don't know if I'll be able to do it... But that's the reality I guess? I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer here, but I think people underestimate the mental health impact of that. I get somewhat (*incredibly*) angry at my friends for complaining about back pain when I know they hunch over their laptops for 8 hours straight, never taking breaks, they never stretch or anything; and I'm like, 'really?? you do everything wrong and you have a twinge in your shoulder?? My ENTIRE BODY, all 100+ freaking joints, hurts because it's 10degrees hotter today. Anyway, again THANK YOU for sharing. Love your content, I hope you keep doing what you do!! I also have trouble sleeping or getting through house chores and your long-form content really helps with that!
Sending you so much love and support! I've been going through similar issues, dealing with POTS, ADHD, Autism, PTSD, and potentially EDS. Once you were describing your heart racing I immediatedly thought of POTS, it's so rough to constantly feel panicked and on edge. I've seen improvement with compression socks, increased salt and fluid, and medication, so i really hope you can get proper help for it soon. It's truly such a strugggle to get over the internalized abelism when you have to confront that your ability level is less than it used to be and that you can't live your life how you thought you would. Realizing I probably can never work and need daily help to get out of bed or make food took a lot of adjusting, being kind to yourself is the best way through it. Plus the pet loss on top of it all. :,( Hope things ease up some time soon, and wishing you the best. <3
I'm sorry you are dealing with so much, but it is super important to prioritize ones health. I have PTSD so bad that I am legally considered disabled. It's really hard to come to terms with my lowered functionality so I understand some of what you are going through. It's not easy. I wish you the best in navigating this difficult time.
Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your struggles. I've been observing some similar feelings of imposter syndrome with my asthma and my back pain recently - when it's very bad (and the former has been that way sometimes since I had covid) it becomes evident to others, but I feel as though I need to push through when I seem more okay. It's really hard to feel okay after making hard decisions, even when they're the best options. Good on you for deciding to use the wheelchair when it wasn't what you anticipated at this stage of your life - I hope it helps you do the things you want to and not be exhausted or crashing after. I hope you're able to eventually feel better about saying goodbye to the pup. Your relaxing voice is a great help to me when I'm not well, so I'm glad you've got a long back catalogue I can listen to. :) Take care
Love you, thank you for sharing.
As someone who is chronically ill, you are valid. I also struggle with that, imposter syndrome sucks ass. It also doesn’t help that people who don’t experience chronic health issues similar understand. A lot of my family say ableist things to me because they don’t have my struggles. Plus internalized ableism just seriously doesn’t help. I hope what I’m trying to say is making sense I am on day two of a migraine. I am a new subscriber to your main channel, I’m not even sure a month. I have been binge watching your videos because it is really comforting. You are so comforting to me. We struggle with a lot of the same issues. I have long Covid, trying to get tested for POTS, chronic fatigue, struggling with getting a wheelchair, severe ADHD. I’m sure a lot more. I just turned 23 at the end of June, and I don’t know how to admit to myself or my family that I think I need to get a wheelchair for bad flares. They won’t understand. For example I have severe chronic pain and I have an extremely high pain tolerance. There are days I can’t move in bed because I’m in so much pain. My grandma is one of the people who don’t understand the most and believes I’m just trying not to get better. She thinks I’m going to be “cured” if I walk at least 2 miles everyday because she walks 4-5 miles everyday. Being an ambulatory mobility aid user is valid. The only thing I’ll say about your pet losses is I’m sorry. My fiancée and I have a dog. He was originally hers but he has decided that I’m his person instead. When we moved into our apartment he moved in with us from her parents. I feel very guilty that I can’t give him the best life he deserves when I’m flaring up. I’m on the top floor and can’t take him out as much when in a flare. I can’t take him on long walks. There was one point that we were considering having to move him in with my family for a while during a really bad flare, that was extremely hard to think about. Especially since we couldn’t let him stay with her parents, we are no contact with a couple people who live in that house. During that time it was also hard because he was showing some signs of depression, I just wanted him to see his dog best friend…but we can’t go to that house because of people being terrible human beings (Happy side note we did meet someone and became friends, we are trying to make Lincoln and her dog Evie be dog bffs. It is still very new but we are having a doggie sleepover tonight actually lol) You made the best choice for everyone in your household…not just you, or your husband, but also your dog. Everyone loves their pets. They are our babies. You knew that it wasn’t functioning anymore and that’s a big loss. You made the best adult decision for everyone. I hope the heart ache will hurt less and less. Maybe one day you can stay in contact and get pics of him. Even go visit him for an hour or two one day, once the hurt is lighten. Possibly even if they need someone to watch him overnight just babysitting would be ok. BUT ALSO if for your own mental health to not stay in contact to hear how he is doing…COMPLETELY VALID! I truly hope things get better for you. I’m sending many positive thoughts towards you. This hasn’t been my year at all. It has been completely shit for so many reasons. I have a feeling that it will get better for both of us ❤ You are such a ray of sunshine in my life. I hope everyone in the comments only say very kind things about this video. You have such kind eyes. Short story long my wonderfully amazing fiancée Eve I meet on a dating app, I swiped right because I’m a sucker for kind eyes. She has a very comforting safe energy. Anyways I relate a lot to you but you comfort me in a way she calms me down when she hugs me. Ily hun hope you have a good week (sorry for the insane rambling I can not help it)
i'm sorry you're also going through a rough time! i hope you're able to work out getting the mobility aids you need! it's rough when there are a lot of opinions on what people think will "fix it". it's like i also said in the video, it's so easy to sit and say to someone "who cares what they think?" until they have to deal, face to face, with what the people around you might think, but i hope they can find a way to see these things helping you! thank you so much for your kindness and sending lots of love!
Sending so much love ❤️❤️❤️
❤ sending love through hard times
I really wanna get one now but I don’t know what version 😆
i will never not recommend a uni! reasonably easy to care for, they get software updates, and the events are fun!
I'm so sorry to hear about the puppo, I know that couldn't have been an easy decision to make but sometimes you gotta put you first. Hearing your experience with the wheelchair is actually super inspiring to me. I haven't been able to bring myself to use a motor cart in the grocery store even though I know I could genuinely use it, so seeing you take this step for yourself is encouraging. I know some people online can be really rude to ambulatory wheelchair users, just know if you get any rude comment online or irl, they know nothing about you or your situation, and they have no grounds so speak about it. I've absolutely loved being a part of your community for the past six months, but please never feel guilty about missing streams if you need some time to rest and recover, we'll still be there when you get back. Whoops I'm rambling, anyway, I'm sending hugs and thoughts your way 🥰
