closet cleanout, packing for the east coast, finishing a few books 🪺 WEEKLY VLOG

[@red.carnation]

I've been living and studying abroad for five months now but next month I'm finally going back home, italy's countryside is at it's most beautiful during the warmer seasons and I've truly been feeling nature's fingertips brushing my heart lately, i can't wait

[@Madi_Str]

I love how supportive your brother is

[@CatherineLambert-fz7pd]

He's a cutie

[@PatrikOrjes]

This brother and sister duo going golfing is the content I didn't know I needed. And as always, I'm loving the Grendel content. ❤

[@juliandherbooks1]

those cozy slice of life vlogs are my favorites!! (that‘s why I started doing them myself … :D)

[@sj3530]

Oh the old aesthetic of yours! The nature, flowers, Evie, books and the fullness of it all. I love it. Just so heartwarming and relaxing. I get your excitement and not wanting to film Emma. It's the best when enjoyed fully without any worries of capturing. I missed this so much. I mean, I love to listen you talking about books, but I'm forever stuck in your older videos and the vibes of it.

[@NadiaAbdulrahman-]

Brother-sister golfing at its bestest!! 😂❤ p.s.(This feels like such a period of change, and I love that.)

[@seolylee]

Emma, I never comment but hearing you talk about cormorants, I think you would love birding. All you need is a good pair of binoculars (not really cheap ones) and you will see so many beautiful birds right around you. When I watch your nature montage I can hear all kinds of birds. Unless you’re already a birder and I just don’t know! Just an idea that occurred to me when you mentioned your obsession with cormorants… ❤❤❤

[@Kim-poet]

It just makes me happy to see you happy, Emma; you just light up your corner of the world. I especially loved the golfing with Ben. I can't wait to see what you and your Mom got up to on your trip.

[@kimbarbeaureads]

I think you are secretly a Spring girlie. The winter thing is just positive thinking. I'm on to you. Lol

[@elizabethr.2491]

Been missing nature so so much and seeing these beautiful clips was sooo healing ❤ Can't wait to leave the city lol

[@incandescent.glow.]

AHHHH 30 MINUTES OF EMMA

[@InkInsight15]

Your walk in the luxuriant grass reminds me of a paragraph from Norwegian Wood! Nature is surreal

[@myriam8190]

Nature is just so incredible. It feels like a minute ago we were buried in snow. ❤

[@Bassynater2500]

Love these vlogs, man. So calming and chill it’s like just chilling with the homie gush about loving life and having a good time. We need more conversations that are just about the good things, not all the venting sessions. I’m the therapist friend so I just crave good news and updates. Thanks for the positivity recharge 😌

[@nevel-luna5070]

Always happy to see Emma posting a new video!

[@Pursuitsofmybookishheart]

The first time I went whaling, I cried my eyes out and started a whale obsession 😅 I am so happy that you get to go to Newfoundland and explore. You seem so alive when you are in nature and in movement. It’s contagious ❤️ Thank you for this slice of life vlog.

[@sophiam03]

In Persuasion one of the plots is a vacation to Bath where they spend a lot of time by the sea (and it also has some characters who are sailors) so I don’t think it’s actually that far off theme haha. It’s very different from Austen’s other work but I love it :)

[@monikamiroslava4074]

Dress tip: for the ones that are too snug up top, can't zip up, etc - add loops (easy to hand stitch ) and ties at the back or on both sides

[@moonstonepearl21]

I love seeing baby animals in the springtime too

[@rebeccaxo2232]

You suit dark colours!! That plum vest and navy jumper really work well for you!

[@brendhacaldas4396]

You look so happy, Emma! 💛

[@celiboud]

Girl you need to move to the west end of the city - so much more nature!

[@Sarahsreadingjournal]

Love it when the weather gets warm enough that you can actually spend time doing activities outside! Also, I hate the pressure of packing books for a holiday. I always get so indecisive!

[@halapyrolock7210]

So happy to see a new video out! 😃💕 The whole slice-of-life video is sooo sweet, the golf montage and the rest are so cute and funny 😂 Love to see you looking so happy and excited 😄🌸

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Gotta love the spring/summer nature aesthetic. I decluttered my closet twice this year lol. Think im satisfied with my result.📚🧋🧚🍄🌈🌷

[@circleofleaves2676]

I adore cormorants too! I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, and we have 5 types of cormorant: Pied Cormorant, Little Pied Cormorant, Little Black Cormorant, Great Cormorant, Black-faced Cormorant. My favourites are the Little Pied and the Black-faced (the second one is exclusive/endemic to Australia). You would love the animals here Emma! I lost it at your facial expressions over the "nearly headless nick" shirt. Nearly choked on my rice. Your disdain towards button up shirts that are too tight under the arms and fail what we call the "bicycle pose" test matches my own (the bicycle pose test being when you put arms out in front of you and the long sleeves go halfway up the forearm). I'm glad you're taking Lighthousekeeping to Newfoundland! Weathering With You is my favourite Makoto Shinkai film, but I haven't read the book. The way he does water and light in his films is so, so beautiful.

[@miriam2526]

Beautiful nature clips! I'm so happy that you get to experience that. I've moved to a farm a couple of years ago and the gardens we have make it feel like I'm actually working in paradise every single day! There's no way back into the city for me.

[@bookswithcoffees_]

Hope you have the best time on your trip! I’ve been loving the lord of the rings too!

[@Macaroniambi999]

Yess start a depop and do more clothing/styling vids if you want!! im loving this side of you! 😊

[@rhapsodyinbleu]

Honestly you deserve all the happiness in the world. I also love nature and thrive being outside but lately it’s been so hot outside it feels like stepping into hell 😭 so I’m living vicariously through you. Also you have such good taste in clothes. That red coat and the bouldering pants are so cool… love functional clothing like that.

[@anitas5817]

I’m in south Louisiana. The cormorants are here in the winter. And the loons. And a zillion other migratory birds. I love them all so much. Our seasons are reversed - the summer is impossibly hot here and everyone stays inside. We have about 8 months of good weather here.

[@miraintheforest]

I lived in a nature filled area my whole life and since covid I have lived in an apartment. I long for the day i can afford to buy a house in the woods. We will get there, Emma💜

[@chloanthite]

Emma have you read Braiding Sweetgrass? It's actually one of my favorite books of all time, maybe you'd like it if you like plants and birds and such. Never really connected with Mary Oliver and stuff like that, but Braiding Sweetgrass I love

[@Edenbotbyl]

The absolute serotonin this video brought me omg🥹🫶🏻

[@lavan6298]

12:49 "i look like Nearly Headless Nick" WHY IS THAT SO ACCURATE 😭😭

[@1ive1augh1ove8128]

I just finished Moby Dick and Herman Melville is instantly one of my favorite authors. You should read it after your whaling journey! I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did but it really did something to me.

[@milaces1323]

This vlog has been such a delightful treat, as all your vlogs. Welcome back! 😊

[@myrme5198]

Love the nature shots, really wanna go to Canada one day!! ❤

[@xabsoshaafi6430]

Never left a comment this early! Love you Emma from Kenya ❤

[@lasaves3207]

My mom and I are obsessed with cormorants too! They're so amazing and I love when they sit with their wings spread to let them dry hahah. They're basically birdfish XD

[@moitree8482]

emma i borrowed fellowship of the ring from the library and im gonna start it because of you!!! heeh i cant wait since i never read this series!!

[@hyemiyah]

your little feet on the grass and then the camera revealing you're at your parents's house made me so emotional for some reason 😭❤

[@brendq_m]

your dresses are sooo cute, i want all of them for me. 💕💕

[@ReadingNymph]

That red coat is STUNNING 😍 I hope you have a lovely time in New Finland

[@rachitgupta1819]

30 minutes of absolute bliss🤌🏻✨

[@PaulinaReadsss]

I saw cormorants for the first time in Florida two summers ago and I couldn’t believe that a bird could both fly and swim!!! When I got home after my summer in Florida I told everyone about these beautiful birds but never found out their names! I even went to Barnes and noble and perused book about birds but couldn’t find it😭 I think they are my favorite birds as well as the sula nebouxii (or blue footed booby) 🩵🩵

[@jasmin5246]

So good to see you so happy, Emma! Enjoy your trip! 💞

[@taylorbarrett13]

in newfoundland i highly recommend visiting salmonier nature park if you haven’t heard of it already! it’s a nice long walking trail where some animals like moose and owls live! it’s super cool, and it seems like it might be right up your alley!

[@magda_mf]

Oh yeah me too I absolutely love being on the water and I always book a boat tour wherever I go 🥰🫶

[@gennybadillonightraid]

I think your hometown is one of the most bueatiful sights I've ever seen I these videos I live in virginia and all there is is forests and grass and trees and buildings all around us it is also bueatiful but we are glad that you are home ms.emme

[@TrishaBarua2913]

I love all your videos and all your content, but this feels like an old Emma video and I LOVE IT

[@creid976]

I recommend going to Middle Cove out by St Johns, beautiful rocks and cliffs!

[@saranshnegi6535]

Much needed video. ✨ Also, looking super pretty in the pink 🌸 Much love.❤ Take care.

[@pendragon2012]

Love seeing a new video! Hope you are doing well--still enjoying the book club!

[@briantyndall3541]

Nearly Headless Nick! I laughed so hard I almost choked! The jeans jacket was so cute! I haven't even finished the video yet but had to comment immediately 😊 Love the NATURE ❤ Enjoy your trip 😊❤

[@Rods_road]

The polar bear sweater is so cute!

[@chlo1948]

literally want all your clothessss

[@rondoflicflac]

What a beautiful vlog Emmie thanks for sharing ❤

[@finsfables]

do you have a link to the shop where you got the adorable polar bear sweater? I would love to get something that is also donating proceeds to conservation efforts!!!

[@annamattos8627]

Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen, just read it!

[@fahdahsulaiman]

Aw Emma I've missed you so much! Thank you for making my birthday even more perfect by posting a new video

[@lia_tabea]

Wishing you a very happy birthday!

[@fahdahsulaiman]

@@lia_tabea Thank you so much, Lia!

[@meganvr1228]

I haven’t swam in Lake Ontario for 20 years! 😂 We always joked that if you do, you come out with gills, since Burlington (where I live) is right across from Stelco. 😅😅 My cat had to have the expensive Hypoallergenic cat food, since he had an allergy to most proteins, so I understand the pain of that expense. 😂 I went to Newfoundland for a cousins wedding back in 2013 and it was sooo mild and lovely~ I hope you enjoy it there. 😎👍🏻

[@elizabethr.2491]

Also I'd be so interested in a depop or Poshmark!!!

[@haerhawk]

You look so happy in nature Also so glad you mentioned baby animals cus we have a bunch of puppies running around in my street

[@xnoname223]

Every time i watch your vlogs, i cried. Knowing you live a privileged life that most people dream about. Free country, free speech, beautiful nature. I keep on watching because i long for the idea of friendship and life i would never experience till the day i die. We are the same age but i will rot alone here because of oppression. Keep living your beautiful life

[@cjdj1406]

What a great vlog Emma!! Thank you so much!!!

[@haerhawk]

Omg you uploaded just when I was uploading my first video it's certainly an amateur one no doubt but im so happy to finally be uploading my first video

[@CarrieBarrieintheDesert]

Love your vlogs, always bring joy to my day. Man, you look so happy and amazing. Something is different, maybe a change? It's nice to see you so happy 😊 Sometime in my life I want to see Puffins! We have Quail here. Idk if you have them there, but man, you'd LOVE those birds. They are my favorite! Their little quail babies follow them around and make the cutest little squeaky noise. The best!

[@theleafyknitter]

I was just in Newfoundland! and it was sooo beautiful you are going to have such an amazing time

[@nanimaonovi2528]

Use spray starch and hang your dress on the door of the bathroom when you have a hot shower to steam the wrinkles out.

[@caitlin1008]

I really loved the anime movie of Weathering with you, highly recommend!

[@leep.9808]

definitely down for a depop! i LOVE depop so much lol

[@uhafi]

have a great trip emma ❤

[@asavagegarden]

the cut to putting on the clothes that fit weird SENT me everytime.

[@chaymae_3]

I love your vlogs and I love you much 💗

[@mattkean1128]

You should always be in the mood for Persuasion. My favorite Austen ❤. Wizard's Guide to Defense Baking was cute. It kind of lost steam in the third act; I wish it remained a smaller story, but it was quite charming.

[@EnDoubleJay3309]

Cormorants are always a win.

[@Cubehead27]

You have reminded me that I haven't started walking (for fun) again this year, which is sad because it means I mostly only ever walk to and from downtown so maybe today I will take Lord of the Rings outside 🙂

[@stephaniegomez9497]

Hi Emmie! Where did you get your map? I love it!!

[@Heartonmysleeve-gj1kp]

Excellent vlog as always!❤

[@Willy_Potter]

Nearly Headless Nick took me out. I was thinking 17th Century Surgeon, but Sir Nick is spot on 😂

[@titusdaughtry5618]

Last summer you did a rec video for summer reads. If you are into that whole dystopian sci-fi stuff again, you should check out The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury :) Just read it to kick off my Texas summer and really enjoyed it

[@Olivia4448]

Cormorants! What an auspicious sign!

[@ivanacastillon3465]

Emmie, you should come to México! You would love nature, the flora and fauna, and our diverse ecosystems.

[@yashashvichaudhary3495]

Hii emmie ❤

[@doaadikrallah]

OH MY GAAAWSSH THE ORANGE CORSET! ARE YOU GONNA SEE THE F1 RACE IN CANADA?!??

[@melissanorrbom4734]

The black tank over the white baby tee is very 90’s clueless era 😂

[@sunglasses2130]

I don’t know if you’re much of a movie person, but I feel like you would love the movie Perfect Days.

[@moniquebaham]

I really needed an Emma video today so thank you! Your energy in this video is wonderful and infectious! 😊❤

[@stefanejoyce]

your videos are like a studio ghibli movie

[@budiardjo6610]

12:13 i could hear this for 24 hours

[@joelle48]

YOURE COMING TO NEWFOUNDLAND WHATTTT girl u have to go to my hometown in gros morne ill cry

[@AfternuneReads]

I've hard been having a similar itch in wanting to leave the city

[@joelle48]

u have to do western brook pond boat tour im so serious

[@soopfm]

Very random but I have the same pair of yellow, black and white fuzzy socks - had to back up the video to that part to play it over and was like "I recognize that!" haha

[@saburonobunaga6191]

I 'm so delighted to meet you❤

[@katiechen9788]

I’m so early!

[@Mariak82]

Great video. ❤ watching from the UK. 🇬🇧

[@kiyotaka-vl4xb]
