I think its always nice knowing we all are in the same boat right now. Thats the only thing keeping me floating right now. There will come a time when things are better. Thanks for being honest. I think its important for people to know we aren't all sunshine all the time. Sending lots of love to you and your family. 🌻💛
To answer your question, we do have advent calendars in the U.S, but not as many. Also, so sorry about the lockdown. I live in New York and March - May were some of the worst months of my life. I feel you and stay strong! :)
I too have been in a rut as of lately. Just remember that tomorrow is a new day and that it's ok to just take a day off from life and just do whatever you want
I watched your vlog with my girls and we all feel the same way you do. It is hard to put into words but it is a daily struggle to remain positive with so much going on that is out of our control. Your family is in our thoughts and we look forward to much brighter times ahead xx
I completely feel you on not feeling yourself lately. We will get through this and hopefully the world starts getting better soon. I was fine during the first lockdown when everyone was in the same boat but this weird second stage of people being in different tiers meaning that I can go to work and nothing else has really got to me. We're all in this together :)
thank you for being so open and honest - know that you're not alone & there's an army of people out here who care and understand. probably better than you think. sending you lots of hugs x
Can i just say how happy your video’s make me feel. I feel like you and the people you surround yourself with radiate positivity and joy (even when you’re about to cry 😉) so thank you because when I have a bad day this channel is where i come first. Thing’s are horrible at the moment but know that at the very least you’ve helped me get through a lot these last few months!
Thank you for talking about this! I’ve done so well mentally all of quarantine. I was hopeful, happy and motivated. Suddenly last week I realized I did not feel myself and I did not have my typical optimistic outlook.. I have been low-key sad, angry and feeling lost. I’ve tried to snap myself out of it, it hasn’t work yet, so I just decided I am going to have to feel this one out, have a cry and be patient. Wishing you the best em 💙
You've got this Emily, we all have. It's so frustrating here in the UK, but know that you have good friends, family, and your online family (subscribers) supporting you. xoxo, good things will come again!
When Emily teases about merch:😭😍😱 It’s understandable with not being in a good mental state. This year went way off the rails and we have no clue when it’ll be back to normal. Especially since so many people have to work from home and/or aren’t allowed to leave their place because of restrictions/fear of contracting the virus, it just feels like we can’t truly relax because now we’re just doing all the mundane work without some type of payoff to burn off the mindset or luxury to do something spontaneous.
You are not alone, I’ve had some really rough days during this whole thing. I am so over it and I let that get the better of my emotions at times and it can get very dark. Praying for peace for all of us.
Good for you for having a self care day, we all need them sometimes. COVID restrictions are painful, I get you, it’s natural to be affected by it at points, I definitely have been!
Cannot wait to do my shop Disney Christmas order, it’s definitely the perfect cure for the COVID blues. Sending lots of love and hope you had a lovely self care day❤️
Hi Emily-understand how you’re feeling, after doing so well over the summer here, restrictions are tightening too. I envy that you guys decorate for Christmas at the beginning of November. Although stores may have Xmas decs up-home decorating doesn’t start until after Thanksgiving here...and Advent Calendars are not that big here, you might see a few, but nothing like you have-I wish we had more, it’s such a nice festive thing-and who doesn’t like a little treat each day.
I’m sorry you’ve not been feeling yourself lately! I think you’re so right when you say that we’re all feeling it. I’ve recently started a teaching qualification course after graduating uni this year and I’ve found it really tough with online learning and living in a new city alone with no way of making friends. Coronavirus basically wrecked all my career plans so I didn’t have many options other than to begin this course, or be unemployed! I guess I just wanted to say that I’m with you and am also finding life tough right now and can relate to how you feel. But I feel like if anyone has the positive mentality to get through this, it’s you! I’ve enjoyed all of your videos and vlogs so much through all the difficult periods I’ve faced this year and appreciate your content so much :-) I truly hope you feel better soon, sending lots of love your way X
I really enjoyed the Christmas vibes in this video. It's so depressing that we're facing harsher lockdown restrictions so Christmas starting early is needed! Looking forward to any other Christmas videos from you, would love to see you vlog making the Christmas cookies!
Thank you so much this vlog really was so useful. It made me feel normal in a way because I've also been feeling this way and it's so cool to hear someone as sweet and positive as you talk about it. Everyone has been expecting me to be so positive and happy but I just can't. Also thanks for showing some ideas for a mental health day! Seriously very useful. That being said I am sorry you are feeling this way just remember you are certainly not alone. Sending hugs!! :)
Start your day with saying out loud I’m thankful I’m alive. If it’s beautiful outside say out loud I’m thankful it’s so beautiful outside. Get a routine and stick to it. If you have a hobby enjoy it. You’re gonna be fine.
Thank you for such an honest vlog, it was so reassuring to know that you’re going through similar things to me. It made my day a bit brighter, and I am so thankful for that! All of your videos (especially your vlogs) mean a lot to me. Also, that vegan cookie looked delightful!
i loved this vlog, living in bournemouth for my first year of uni right now an away from my family as well as COVID restrictions has been ... interesting lol. my worst fear is going into those higher restrictions again, i really feel for you and hope you're feeling a bit better, self care absolutely lifts my mood too. i feel like there's a lot of pressure to stay positive and although in some cases, yes, it has been so nice to hear your honest thoughts and feelings about what's going on, because it is so shit!! sending love and hugs xxx
Sorry to hear that covid is getting more rough in the UK. Was feeling this way until they opened the parks back up. Now, thankfully, we have a new normal (which doesn't feel too much different than the old normal). Hoping that you find your happy place.
Speaking of prints?? Oooh, super exciting! And you’re so right! Friends and family are just the most wonderful people that can always brighten your day :) I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been struggling and finding it tough. I think every other comment is emphasising this also but you are not alone. I’ve had many days where I’ve struggled and definitely ones where I have cried also and been hit hard by this. But talking about it, recognising when you need time and doing things for yourself is so important and so positive and I’m so happy you’re doing that and looking after yourself. Stay strong, sending all the love and support in the world and here always - your videos always put such a smile on my face and I love seeing the posts! So thank you for all you do for my wellbeing and happiness, I hope messages like this can help you with yours also! You are a beautiful soul inside and outside :) x
Really appreciated your honesty in this video. I definitely agree with it being really hard not having anything to look forward to right now. It’s tough but we’ll get through it ❤️
We don't have that many advent calendars, usually they're a generic Christmas design like Santa and his reindeer or a gingerbread man and gingerbread house and they're almost all milk chocolate, I've never seen a white chocolate advent calendar like you showed but I'd love to get that instead of a milk chocolate one. I think the longer quarantine goes on the easier it is to slip up mentally, I have been down the last few weeks in particular too just being overwhelmed by all the problems in the world on top of still being in quarantine with seemingly no end in sight here in the US. Thanks for talking about how you're doing, it's important to have an outlet to express how you're feeling, especially during these tough times. I'll have to take your advice, I've fallen out of getting any sort of exercise for a while now and need to work at fixing my bad habits I've been developing. I hope you feel like your old self again soon! Your videos and your optimistic / enthusiastic attitude always cheer me up!
This video helped me feel better! Thank you for sharing how you've been doing. I haven't really felt like myself either and I think it's important to take care of yourself and focus on the good. You and your friends always help me feel a lot happier!
Also, if I ever miss videos from Alice and your channels its just because when I have rough patches, I cant keep up on anything. I always try to get back to them eventually though because you both are just so sweet and deserve support on your channels. (:
It feels to me like every year we prepare to be indoors in the colder months, but this year it's being forced upon us (of course for good reason). We just had some warmer months with some lifted restrictions, but we're unsure when this will happen again. It's like not knowing if you'll ever laugh again. ANYWAY...great vlog! Your vlogs give me a similar feeling to when I watch Gilmore Girls or Jessica Braun or TimTracker here on TH-cam.
Thank you for this Emily. I have really been having a tough time lately. Here in Ireland, Level 5 restrictions (the highest level) come into effect from midnight tomorrow. I have been so emotional all day today, have been feeling really upset, angry and frustrated. I was awake until about 3am this morning, I just couldn't sleep as I was feeling so anxious and overwhelmed about the whole situation, rising cases, lockdown, restrictions etc. I actually decided today to turn data/internet off on my phone for a few days and to take a break from whatsapp groups while I try to get my mental health back on track. To help with anxiety and add some fun to these days, I've been carving pumpkins, creating an autumnal scene in our porch and I'm going to bake pie and gingerbread men this weekend...oh and also watch Hocus Pocus :) We will all get through this..."This too shall pass"
This sounds difficult Saoirse! I hope you’re okay and are surviving and feeling happy! Sending love and support your way also, your wellbeing plans sound awesome!
Seasonal depression is a real thing, and I'm very concerned about how people affected by that will be handling lockdown protocols. I hope people know they're not alone & can find some joy this holiday season ❄
It's hard, but I'm also trying to find small things I can do everyday to look forward too. Would you recommend that face mask? I've also been buying a few new Christmas ornaments in anticipation of getting my tree up. Might have to do it in November this year! Hope you're feeling more like yourself again soon x
you're amazing. sorry you're feeling like this:( literally same sometimes. It feels like the UK was getting better for a second in like Sep, but now it feels so much worse. So thankful for Jesus getting me through lol! Love you girl xxxxx you got this!
I feel ya girl, it's been bad again here in Canada (at least in Montreal we're back on full lockdown) and it's been really hard :/ but I'm glad we can talk about this and know we're not alone!!! Also um yall have malteser advent calendars????? And we don't??? I'm offended
A problem shared is a problem halved after all!! Weird how this thing is keeping everyone apart but also uniting us 😂 and we have CHEESE advent calendars so maltesers are nothing
Stay safe Emily. ❤️🥰 I live in Melbourne Victoria Australia. 🇦🇺 Tell you what I love Disney so much a massive fan too. 🥰 It’s disappointing your back in lockdown if you don’t mind me asking what happened?
I was likewise confused by the Mulan prints... not even interesting pictures. But to lift your spirits... ShopDisney have just put up the Beauty and the Beast replica Journal.

It’s literally the last couple weeks it’s HIT!!! And everyone around me is feeling it. Sending love to you - let yourself cry when you need to! 💛

Feel exactly the same. Had a weepy meltdown the other day and still not feeling great. Trying to keep positive.
Chin up! Sending a hug!! ✨
Good for you for having a self care day, we all need them sometimes. COVID restrictions are painful, I get you, it’s natural to be affected by it at points, I definitely have been!
1:27 SO TRUE!!! All I wanna do is countdown the days to the most wonderful time of the year 🥺🎄
12 days to go !!!
Cannot wait to do my shop Disney Christmas order, it’s definitely the perfect cure for the COVID blues. Sending lots of love and hope you had a lovely self care day❤️

It’s flipped over from “fall” then 😏 sad for your poor calendar selection!! Sending love your way!

I just hope we can still have a proper Christmas 🥺 but all the seasonal content will be coming!! 💛
This video brightened up my day so much! And as an American, I confirm that we have advent calendars and they are essential to the Christmas spirit
A relief to know!!!

Yes for sure from Superdrug! And I definitely approve of an early Christmas tree!! Thank you 💛
I don't mean to insult the rest of the video, but that closing message alone is worth a like

It’s disappointing your back in lockdown if you don’t mind me asking what happened?
The government screwed us over 🤪
I was likewise confused by the Mulan prints... not even interesting pictures. But to lift your spirits... ShopDisney have just put up the Beauty and the Beast replica Journal.
Well 👀
You showing the Mulan prints looked like someone so bored during a presentation 😂 Hope you start to feel better!
I meeeann...😂 thank you 💛
It's loony tunes the situations of the world
