[@itsemchannel]

Thanks Jackie. Oh god I know. Work has been frustrating I have to just get up and walk around when it’s so bad xx

[@tonimead1453]

HI Em, loved this one, great amalgamation of topics. The soundtrack when you were making the candle made me laugh. Hair is still looking great. I too have started to follow frecklesinherforties and am also taking the collagen powder in my coffee every morning. Please let us know how you get on with it. Look forward to finding out what Emma Bridgewater goodies you grabbed in the sale, I got a couple of the little mugs ❤❤

[@itsemchannel]

Ahh thank you so much. Yes Claire is so lovely so pleased you gave her a follow. I’m going to do a homeware haul soon so keep you’re eyes peeled xx

[@PaulineHanna-st7gf]

I take the collagen gummies: just incase you find the powder hard to take, they’re easy xx

[@cherylparish2232]

Hi Em, get spray magnesium for the legs, it’s awesome, for me it’s been way better than the tablets xx

[@itsemchannel]

Can I do both or is that too much? Going to get a spray too I think xx

[@cherylparish2232]

@@itsemchannel I’m honestly not sure, I did a straight swap as my research suggested that magnesium was easily absorbed through the skin. For me it was clearly better, I also use it on my hands to improve my arthritis in my fingers, seems to help with that too. Lastly I am so much happier post menopausal than I was perimenopausal, no more flushes, mood swings, sleepless nights etc, I’m a calmer more contented woman and I’m very appreciative of all life has to offer. Xx

[@Jennifer-xn8zw]

Hope the magnesium has helped with the restless legs! Was suffering as well and realised I hadn't been taking my magnesium tablets🫣, 2 days later restless legs are gone! I always find the heat makes it worse but massaging my calf muscles feels amazing.. I do it in bed with one leg bent, put calf of one leg on my bent leg knee and massage, swap around other leg.. Really helps, like scratching an itch. Hopefully this has past for you now, I'm 53 yrs and past perimenopause by a couple of years, menopause definitely seems calmer and less chaotic for me, though I'm on HRT so that helps .. Horrid time, but bit by bit you get there. Xx

[@PaulineHanna-st7gf]

Collagen’s great for aches and pains - mine have gone and my hairline and eyebrows are pretty much restored. Hope that and the magnesium helps you xx

[@fairydustofficial]

Hi, don’t know if you have seen the willpowders range. Davinia Taylor is the owner and has lots of products for health and for symptoms of perimenopause. Looks a lot at what we are eating and how it affects us. x

[@itsemchannel]

Oooh no I’ll have to check it out. Thanks xx

[@fl0wer1234]

Try the SBC leg soothing gel for your restless legs x

[@itsemchannel]

Thank you xx

[@jeanthornerry3912]

Hi Emma , I love your blogs and thank you for bring honest about your menopause. I'm smack bang in the middle of mine .Restless leg omg the worst thing ever I got magnesium and drink so much water it helps and when I go to bed I have a fan going it helps so much .. have a good week . ❤

[@zoeb6778]

Just a suggestion, as the weather is getting warmer. I bought and used a neck fan (hangs round your neck and looks like chunky headphones from a far). Mine is white. Best buy ever!! I have my hands free and keeps be so much cooler! (I get hot easily). Thought I'd mention it, as saw you fanning yourself with a hand fan.😊

[@treenindorset]

Oh I have one of these ,when my ears get cold I turn it around and the air goes down my top lol it's excellent.

[@itsemchannel]

Yes I have one of those it was down stairs though when I was filming xxx

[@elisabel176]

I love the crafting music❣️🎶👍😁

[@RcRc-mr7hc]

I love your bob Em. My hubby gets restless legs 😢 they come and go for him and he just lives with it, I really hope the magnesium helps. Xxx 💐💘🌷

[@itsemchannel]

Ahh thank you so much. The restless leg is so frustrating xx

[@cathychaplin5127]

Definitely recommend the magnesium tablets to help you sleep....altho can't stop the waking up early as also experiencing that with the perimenopause.... Magnesium spray is also good for applying straight to legs....I got some in home bargains recently..... Also recommend the kind patches X

[@itsemchannel]

Thanks. Yeah I need to try the spray will have a look around xx

[@bridgetstack]

Re. the magnesium, apparently magnesium flakes in the bath are the best way to absorb it into your body. I don't like baths though so have magnesium powder that you add to water!!

[@itsemchannel]

Oooh good shout thank you xxx

[@joanneturner4674]

Loving the flower vase. 😊 I'm a chicken balti girl every time 😊

[@itsemchannel]

Hand tan tip em - moisturise your hands, then use face tanning SPRAY - gives a much more natural look. Still LOVING your new hair 💜

Em, the best fake tan is amber soleil's clear mousse tan!! I'm constantly getting comments it's so good, never streaks and a fantastic colour, it goes out of stock in most places quickly but Amazon always has it for approx £12. It lasts for ages xxx

[@itsemchannel]

Oooh ok maybe I’ll give that a go somewhen. Thank you xx

[@sfviris5582]

Hey social butterfly, that shade of red lipstick and the periwinkle (?) dress look amazing together! 🦋🌸 P.S. Or “Purple Haze” for Jimmy Hendrix fans!

[@itsemchannel]

Ahhh thank you. That blue dress is a new favourite right now xx

[@treenindorset]

Restless legs ,I have tried everything and so far Cod liver oil caplets have worked ! At about three days in is when it hits you that your niggles have gone and pain died down ,it gets less and less as you take them ,I wish I took them earlier in the pause.

[@itsemchannel]

Yeah I should start taking those too xx

[@valerielynn3853]

I have restless legs for years,my legs are that bad I have ended up in AnE,a couple of times,it's the most irritating and painful condition ever,and trying to describe my symptoms to anyone it's just impossible, people just don't understand unless they have this condition themselves,,,it would drive you crazy,and it's no joke,

[@itsemchannel]

Oh my gosh. I can fully understand why you would have gone it’s just so painful and distressing at times xxx

[@claireholmes4713]

I’m also horrendous at putting on fake tan but have just started using Palmers cocoa butter natural bronze body lotion.. it’s fantastic!! Gives a really good tan with one application and is so easy to apply.. you can’t mess it up just whack it on like body lotion!! Xx

[@itsemchannel]

Oooh I bet that smells really good too xx

[@keepingupwiththemattisons5590]

Tonic water helps with restless legs x

[@itsemchannel]

Does it!? Shame though cause I don’t like it xxx

[@laureneweichman172]

A magnesium before bed along with rubbing Magnesium oil into where you’ve got cramps etc works really well.I also take electrolytes before bed. 😊

[@itsemchannel]

I think I’m gonna get the spray and see if that helps xx

[@laureneweichman172]

@@itsemchannelIt’s been a game changer along with the electrolytes before bed . Hopefully you’ll have success with it too. 😊

[@sapphirex27]

Hi Em, Sadly dresses from Shein are polyester and that material will make you feel hotter and sweat more. I shopped on there once, never again! I am peri meno, I need all the 100% cotton I can get🤣🤣🤣

[@itsemchannel]

Funnily enough this dress doesn’t. Maybe it’s cause it’s quite thin. Xxx

[@amblingsandramblings8542]

WOW. Blue is really your colour. You look beautiful x

[@itsemchannel]

Ahh thank you so much xxx

[@7arboreal]

Take a simple antihistamine like cetirazine each day for your itchy skin. I found it helped quite a few peri symptoms x

[@itsemchannel]

I take one anyway for Hayfever but I’m still itchy xx

[@soozlondon8080]

Em...you can also get magnesium lotion I know that helps my son with his knee x

[@itsemchannel]

I think I’m going to try the spray next if these pills are rubbish. Thank you though I didn’t know they did a lotion too xx

[@shazzer1976]

Best thing I did was start HRT. I take magnesium to help my sleep. I think it is helping but HRT was a game changer for me.

[@itsemchannel]

You’re not the person to say that xxx

[@debbiemclarnon2960]

Hi, Emma - you should try a Chasnay which is an lndian sweet & sour. It's mild & lush! 🍽 🙂👍

[@itsemchannel]

Oooh that sounds delicious. May try that next time xx

[@jodiehawks6443]

For ya legs .. drink every night a small glass of tonic water … the quinine will help ..

Just saw the little short of you flying. Probably not a good idea to express political views, subscribers may take exception and not like it. As they say never mix religion and politics. Would not like you to receive any hate responses which seems to be the norm now.

[@itsemchannel]

I’m allowed to express things that are going on right now. I don’t mention who I vote for that’s private. You’re probably not going to like the next vlog then when I go to the polling station but y’know it was part of what happened this week.
