[@NickaLah]

@@krisr3612 I just wish they'd make sure all essential workers have gotten their shots first... my hubby is one, only gets one day off a week and spends 6 days a week in contact with the public... he JUST got his first shot last Thursday and somehow I got in the same day even though I'm less at risk, I don't get it? On the plus side, I didn't have any side effects other than a sore arm temporarily. Thankfully, it went easy for him, too, and he typically doesn't react well to vaccines.

[@patriarchparamour]

Hey Emily, I just want to say I respect you so much for keeping your channel sponsor-free. You are proof that it's possible to achieve success while staying true to yourself and keeping your credibility. It really sets you apart from the rest! 💖

I love how you started this video! I do this thing where if the morning starts out with some setbacks, I say to myself ok that’s not how the the rest of the day is going to go and I change my perspective. It works every time! Gratitude changes so much and makes me much happier. Thank you for always projecting love and positivity! And thank you for adding to my happiness this morning! 🥰💜

[@blondieb6946]

Thank you for being a safe place here on KZbin Emily. Thank you! 19:45 You have a great smile Emily! It’s contagious. Seeing the photo made me smile. 😊 Loved Bitty’s Wizard of Oz line. She is adorable!! Classic movie, love it! My son is 20. I breastfed him for 16 months. We had latch issues and I pumped and fed for 16 months. I remember beating myself up for such a long time. Feeling inadequate and less than. It was a difficult time. The most important thing was that he got the benefit of breast milk. Formula would have also been perfectly ok too. It is a very emotional subject for sure. It’s so sad that other moms with shame others for their decisions if they are different. The most important thing is that our children are growing and thriving.

[@hudasoliman5258]

When Emily describes her channel as a happy place for comfort and feeling like home: LITERALLY my exact feeling before even clicking on the video ❤️

[@lizhernandezmajumder1083]

Is there anything better than watching Emily delight in the application of her blush?! Nothing better!

[@snazzyz8886]

I completely trust your recommendations because I completely know that you are 100% authentic and honest. I appreciate you Emily, 90% of my makeup is from your recommendations.

[@LisaS-ul6vx]

It's been over 20 years since my youngest weaned, and I still teared up when you were talking about Bubba weaning. Extra emotional when it's your last and you've spent so many years nursing multiple children. Of course lots of other emotional milestones that lie ahead!

[@jacquiwinter6282]

@LisaS, such a sweet, encouraging message! I teared up too despite my youngest now being 24 and remembering her last nursing that concluded with a painful, bruising bite! *chomp* (OK, my darling. You’re done.) When Emily mentioned Little Bubba’s nursing frustration I applauded her listening to the message he was sending! Bittersweet time, yes, but no physical pain! 💕 Be well

[@sheldap]

I really appreciate that you don't do sponsorships on your channel, I find myself tuning out from a lot of my favourite you tubers because I often feel like I am watching an infomercial. I understand why they do it, it is just really hard to always feel like you are watching a commercial for something you don't really need. I enjoy how you show us how to use the product and not just tell us to go buy it. Keep doing what you do, you are fantastic!

[@Dana_Keith]

Describing your channel as a safe place was spot on for me. I came here at 2 AM to calm from anxiety. Thank you for creating this space! 💜

[@skylilly1]

Special memories nursing our children. We have 9 full months of pregnancy, then childbirth, sleep deprivation...but the feeling of love we get as we nourish our babies and stroke their little arms and heads, as they nod off to sleep is priceless. It stays with you forever! It's emotional when it's over. Have a wonderful Easter with your family!

[@rachellenauta]

So thankful to start out my day with your positive light! I’ve been watching you since your apartment days and feel like I’m watching a friend!

All the milestones as we raise our children are so special. Thank you for sharing your story, it took me back to boys being small (they are 15yrs & very soon 18yrs).

[@flosolano9965]

I know what you mean about ending breastfeeding. I cried both times my children stopped nursing. For me, it was the final separation of my child from being a physical part of my body. I am so thankful that I got to experience it. ❤️

[@jojofanella7937]

I always look forward to your positivity! Thank you for staying true to you and delivering wonderful, happy content. You are so appreciated 💕

[@napamoonlight9997]

LOVED your truth on sponsorship. Shining a light on how it changes a channel and the influencer and stating your personal mission on what you try to bring to your viewers is a breath of fresh air. I, for one, come to you for a specific compromised free experience.

Thanks Emily for keeping our space simple, real, and sponsorship free xD

You're extremely blessed to not only be able to forgo as sponsorships but also to be a stay at home mom. I think other KZbinrs who do sponsorships aren't in that position.

[@TheStitchWitchPodcast]

Yup, I think bashing those who use YT as a job are incredibly uninformed as to what goes into working on YT

[@corinne31905]

Hi Emily! Wanted to say the same thing everyone else is saying about you not doing sponsorships - I absolutely LOVE that your channel has remained sponsorship free!! I understand why people do them (I mean, if I were on KZbin and getting endless sponsorship opportunities, I would have a really hard time turning them down!!), but it cheapens the whole experience for me. No matter how much someone says “I genuinely like this” or “I only take sponsorships for products I actually love”, it still has that stigma of “OK, but you’re only making this video because they’re paying you X dollars.” It always just puts that bad taste in my mouth, even if I like the brand! So thank you so much for staying true to yourself over all these years!! You’re my favorite person on KZbin and the only one where I consistently watch every single video and thumbs up every one 💜

[@LishLuvsDub]

I’ve been bingeing your playlists for peaceful, informative content. I’ve even been falling asleep with a playlist on, instead of letting a random selection of subscribed content play. Idk.. with winter nearing an end (and the weather being very bi-polar still) I’ve really been needing to feel the constant good vibes and genuine community that you provide.

[@danielled5883]

I am feeling you on the beauty blender for sure. I have tried others, but I just keep going back. It is just so much lighter and soft. I love it.

[@angelaw886]

You cheer me up so much. I have been too sick to work and feeling like a failure. I needed your bright light to help me to focus on better things in life and gratitude. This is why I watch.

[@Allyson6C]

Emily that feeling of calm contentment you spoke of is what I refer to as a feeling of bliss or being in harmony. That feeling is a very clear indication of being in alignment with YOUR truth, your life purpose & your body is showing you that you’re flowing in perfect harmony in that moment. It’s not uncommon to feel this most in the early morning - I’d get into why I think that is, but it’s too complex to text lol. But there’s nothing feels better inside than that, so thank you for sharing it w/us & continue to stay blessed - hugs from Connecticut 💜💚

[@jbbb7418]

Emily you have NO IDEA how much I value that you do not do sponsored videos!!! I get so upset when creators do not disclose when a video is sponsored until five or more minutes into the video. I always feel tricked, manipulated. I watch beauty videos for technique and someones true opinions, also I really like to see what you and others choose to spend your hard earned money on, those things that make it home with you from the store. The things that really peaked your attention. In my very humble opinion, sponsored videos are both a paid commercial, and not necessarily the KZbinrs pure opinion. How can it be?? If I click on a video and it is sponsored, I stop watching, and remove from my watch history, I always feel a wee bit betrayed 😢

[@JuliasBBeauty]

Is a total different feeling when you know you've breastfeed your last child for the last time. The idea of getting over that is heartbreaking. I needed couple of months to recover. I totally understand you ❤

Oh, I remember that last time my youngest nursed. A real milestone. And also something I will always miss in some way. And yes, a very personal decision for mom and baby. btw, Thanks for being part of getting me through this past tough year. 🤍

[@BFAEmporium]

Honesty is the best policy!! I’ve went on a journey to support small brands this year. Women who have really just decided they’re going to put their heart and soul into their own brand and they send me PR. The feeling of them so happy when I do love something it’s fantastic and they’ve all been very understanding when I’m honest and I say what I really think. And I appreciate that about them! The heart heart and the soul of people who are just authentic and genuine and really just love what they do. That’s what I like! Just like you!

You're like the mom of beauty YT and I mean that in the best way. Your intro reminded me of my own amazing mom ...so calming and positive 🥰

[@kirsteencampbell6489]

I remember my Sister In Law nursing my nephew for the last time, and I’m pretty sure she felt the same as you. I think for the last few months it was just as much about that chance to just have a moment of closeness right before bed as it was about nutrition. It is a turning point. I love that your corner of KZbin is so honest, open, vulnerable, genuine and positive. Even though you’ve never met most of your viewers, I know I feel like I’ve gotten to know you, and respect you very much.

It feels so good to have Emily over giving reviews & everything else & knowing for a FACT we can trust her because she is NOT being motivated by money, or being "told" what she HAS to say & saying it because the Brand is paying her to say it. Most times I'm watching a youtuber & the video is sponsored I'll either click off or I just DO NOT believe what they are saying about that product, especially if they HAVEN'T even TRIED to product! There's more & more doing sponsorship's WITHOUT even trying the product first, & then their sitting saying how much they "like/love" this product, OF COURSE you love it, The Brand if FREAKING PAYING you to say that you do!...smdh Okay enough of my rant, all that to say............

It has a special texture that doesn’t hold onto product and it cleans in just a couple minutes. I don’t waste as much soap, water, or time.
