  • After three years of being "online friends," I flew to Canada to visit ‪@emmiereads‬ It was one of the best weeks ever, and I'm so glad I get to share it with you! :)
    Hi friends,
    I hope you're all doing very well!
    This may be my favorite vlog I've ever put together, because it feels less like a vlog and more like a diary entry (or a time capsule for the future)!
    I hope you enjoy coming on these adventures with us!
    Also, for the many people who have asked me, my curly hair routine has finally been revealed in this vlog! I'd be happy to answer any curly hair questions you may have, so please feel free to ask!
    Emma, thank you for such a memorable week!!!
    Most importantly, thank you for being my best friend!
    Unit the next time!
    Best wishes,
    Carolyn Marie :)

      You made me both cry 😢 like Emma said and Carolyn agreed on I must say that even for me, a stranger to you two except for the old book « Dog Of Flanders » that I sent to Emma from the States as the antique versions over there are much nicer and in better shape than the old ones you find in Antwerp, Belgium 🇧🇪. Emma, I hope you didn’t throw it away for your move to Toronto…. Anyway thank you for this wonderful video and hope to see you soon. 😢😊❤ Have a nice weekend!

    Early twenties are such a good time. When joy bubbles around, it is a blessing, yet natural. I had a dream of a woman, and her head hollow like a little clean attic or a cupboard, and there was a book in it. Then I watched your videos meeting each other - fun. Thankyou.

    This convergence was destined to be wonderful. Laughter and tears. An emotional high, and shared with us as a gift. May this become a regular event, at least yearly.

    You two are growing my TBR!!! I may not live long enough to get to them all (I may die trying). I would ask you to stop, but who am I kidding. I am loving the love and the contrasts in taste. You complement each other beautifully. Keep them coming.

    Ohh, 'Melancholy' is a good pick-up. Hope you enjoy it, Emma.
    The day I finished it I came right home and wrote a song.
    Carolyn, the joy in these Toronto videos is REAL.
    Thanks for sharing your travels with us.
    Edit:
    And that hair routine should've been an ASMR video!

    These past few years have been a pleasure getting to know you two. This way seems so much better than it was when I was in my 20s. Then there were so many other things going on whenever I met young women it was impossible to see them for who they are [were].

    I love your videos!!!😍🤩 Your videos are relaxing and while watching I love to study. ✨You have great friendship, hope it lasts forever🥰. Before I started watching your videos, I thought no one likes to smell books. I'm glad I'm not the only one lol. Because of you and Emma I got into reading classics, just started so I can't wait to get into it more
    So much love and kisses to both of you 😘❤️

    So glad Emma picked up a Moravia novel. He's one of the pillars of 20th century italian literature. He was also the husband of Elsa Morante, an author you should both check out, if you like My brilliant friend by Elena Ferrante, since Ferrante is heavily inspired by Morante's work. Lots of love from Italy🥰

    this vlog is sooo sweet!!
    omg one time on a random girl's hair styling video I commented how it looks like she has a natural wave/curl pattern with the way her hair looked. And I said something about how the pattern looked disrupted and became frizzy as if she "brushed her hair when it was dry or when it was wet." And people were like _ummm, when is she supposed to brush it?_ So I had to clarify that I only brush my hair in the shower because otherwise it gets poofy. But I didn't realize how odd that sounded until people replied confused.
