This video is why I’ve been watching this channel for about 15 years. I can’t think of any other channel I’ve watched this long. Her personality is the best!!! She is more than just makeup. I also keep a gratitude journal and agree that it’s powerful. It’s amazing all the big and small things we can find in our daily lives to be thankful for.
Agreed. You don't need talking points. Your natural free-flow approach is more like listening and talking to a friend and that's what people appreciate about you. Even without kids, our relationship has taken some strain in the past couple years - death of family members, uncertainty in job stability, family illness or dealing with chronic medical conditions - all in the middle of a bizarre change in lifestyle and social conditions. Our down time is less rejuvenating because sticking around the house more has created a kind of stifling feeling. So recently we decided to mix it up with some silly games and stuff...indoor and outdoor Cornhole, learning to play poker, finding a way to do less serious things has helped to balance the stress and feeling of "same $&#*, different day." ❤️
After almost 42 years of marriage I am finally learning that our relationship is NOT all about me...!!! I have also learned that my happiness is up to me in every way. I find that the better care I take of myself, the happier I am in my relationship. Sitting around moaning and nagging is not the way to change things...I have learned to roll on no matter what...!!! I have learned to let my husband be himself and not even attempt to change him...after all...I appreciate the same from him...I don’t respond well to criticism so I make every effort not to criticize others.
Great advice! I was too busy taking care of my guys (hubby and son) that I forgot to take care of me. I would forego the things I wanted to do because the boys didn't want to go or do something. Feeling that way wears you down so quickly.
Emily... if you had any idea how badly I needed to hear so much of what you said today. I so wish I knew you in real life, you always have the best advice on life!
One more comment: I would cry for DAYS if you left RUclips 😭 your presence on here is so valuable and needed. I watch every single video. My favorite videos of yours is seriously all of them because I just love watching and listening to you talk 💗🤗 love that you share your joy and light with all of us!
I almost lost my husband to a heart attack, a little over a year into our marriage, I've continued to be grateful to have him every single day since. Whenever things get hard I just think about that day, and the fact that I almost lost him, and try to remember how lucky we were and still are. Marriage is difficult, but losing him would have been impossible.
My dad died of a heart attack when I was 12. He had his first heart attack when I was on the way. I'm the youngest, so they were looking forward to reconnecting as a couple when they had an empty nest and doing a lot of traveling. She never remarried. After I was grown, I kind of hoped she would so she could have someone to do those things with.
@@redneckgirl3326 I'm so sorry to hear that. My husband's heart attack happened almost 13 years ago, and at the time he was only 33 and had always been healthy. Shook me to my core to realize just how close I came to losing him, especially so young and so soon after we married. Luckily for us with lots of care and wonderful doctors he's been healthy since, although any time he's sick I get super paranoid and worried.
@@donnabrown6006 My mom was the same way after Dad's first heart attack. If he was working in his shop too long, she'd send me out to check on him. I remember once going out there and he said, "Did your mother send you?" I said she had. He said. "Tell her I had a fart attack." He was a joker.
I did lose my husband of 22 years to a heart attack 13 years ago... He was only 46 and me 42.... I was left with 3 kids... One in college, one in HS, and one in 3rd grade...😥 THE WORST TIME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE that lasted 6 years of non stop grief....
I'm a covid ICU nurse and I actually sobbed and cried when you talked about keeping your parents safe😭😭 if only everyone could be so aware and thoughtful. You're a true gem! I've always known that, though!🥰
Katie Carpenter….Thank you, as a fellow ICU/CVICU RN for over 40 years, for caring for this very challenging new crisis ! I had to retire due to me losing most my eyesight (overnight). Hazards of the job…. I LOVE Emily’s advice as it works for ALL of us, married or not, relationship or not. I’ve had to change my makeup routine drastically due to my eyesight issues but it’s just a matter of priorities. I’ve been vaxed with the Pfizer no muss, no fuss! Wiss my parents were still alive! However, the selfish part of me, wants them here but the realistically part of me is glad they didn’t have to live through the hell of Covid. I sooo wish I could be nursing right now and doing whatever I can to help during this pandemic but realistically I can’t with my eyesight. But thank you for being there for your patients & your parents! Stay safe & healthy! I pray for my fellow healthcare workers & you too my dear!
I saw a post recently that said "It's nice when someone does something without asking but it's also nice when someone does something BECAUSE you asked." I was always of the prior school but that hit me hard that day. Someone doing something just because you made a request is pretty powerful. I never really thought of it like that.
One of the best advice I give people when it comes to relationships is this: Make time for just the two of you. It doesn’t matter what it is. It could be cuddling 30 minutes before bed. It could be drinking Sunday coffee on the porch together. It could be making breakfast together. It doesn’t matter what it is as long as it’s at least 30 minutes of you two together.
A fun thing we do in our family to get our kids talking about their day is to ask them: “what is your ‘sunny’ of the day?” (ie. something good, fun that happened in the day), “what is your ‘stormy’?” (Maybe something that made you sad, upset, etc), and “what is your ‘rainbow’?” (Something you’re looking forward to). It’s so cute and they love to talk about it.
girl. as a 40 year old who was married for 17 years and went to *many* marriage retreats, i can honestly say that that was some of the best relationship advice i have ever heard. truly.
This is why I love your channel so much. I’m a single women without children but will bank this advice for the future. You truly invite us into your life and home; that makes your content exponentially special. 💜
Finally early enough to make this request! For your "if I was a (blank) again" series: of I was a CHEERLEADER again! You could do sweat-proof and team colors!
Emily you should seriously do this in to a series. So many of us love hearing you talk and give advice or share some of your wife/mother life it’s so useful. Thank you for this video.❤️
Em, your ability to be honest but also maintaining joy in your life and outlook with life with 3 young kids just spoke to me so deeply this morning. I am also a mom with 3 littles under 5. I really needed the companionship of the "real talk" this morning. Thanks for speaking joy into my life this morning. You are so much more than a makeup channel, and that's why I am a long time subscriber ❤️
I’ve been married for 33 years. We have three kids with families of their own. Your advice I’d both godly and good! I’m living it. It’s true! ❤️ It shows that you love it. We love you!
I feel during this pandemic my hubby and I have bonded more. We do puzzles together on his days off. Just the quality time together and chatting a bit has been nice. We also have done house projects together. We do have family movie nights which is fun. Some days he has come in and I can tell it’s been a rough day. I let him just unwind before we chat about whatever. Yes we do have are moments like anyone else. I love to get up early. Have always got up before my kiddos. I felt it was my time. Just get up do makeup and hair while watching the news in my phone. Then to go down stairs have the quiet time reading while drinking my coffee is nice. I do get a work out in some days too.
One thing my husband and I have come to realize and has really helped us is that feelings are valid...sometimes it can be easy to say "I don't know what the big deal is" when the other is upset. But even if you don't agree with their reasons, those feelings are valid and it is important to listen, recognize how they are feeling, and try to understand where they are coming from.
I just started teaching and when I'm asked about how I have the patience to deal with teenagers issues and emotions this is my answer! Emotions are valid and happy and joy are not the only two emotions people are suppose to have. I love having Emily and her community to learn from!
❤️ I’m sitting here feeling wow, I’m not the only one. Listening to you and reading a lot of comments shows me we all have good and bad days. I’m 49 and have always tried to focus on gratitude and counting my blessings. Sitting on my porch at 5 am drinking my coffee is something I never take for granted. Focusing on the positive definitely helps my day go much more smoothly. I was a waitress for 20 plus years raising 4 children and now I’m so blessed to be able to be a stay at home Mimi and help out with my beautiful grandchildren. 💕
I’ve been married for 7 years and have a step daughter. We have our ups and downs but I can’t imagine life without the two of them. Your advice is appreciated and much needed! I love your channel!
Step parents are so under rated. Hang in there even when it’s hard. The kids grow up and those hard stages are great to look back on with great pride that you both made it.
The best life lesson I learned for relationships is to never ever assume the other person knows what you are feeling or what you want. I learned quickly that my husband is not a mind reader nor should he be. If I need something, want something, or am thinking something then I tell him, and he is then more than willing to do what he can to give me what I need. Also, I think expectations of a long term relationship are unrealistic for many people. Relationships change continually and that's ok. It's good. So what when the hyper romanticism and tingly excitement ends. What replaces that is a more profound love and respect for each other. Being comfortable with someone feels good. Knowing my husband has got my back makes me feel loved. Not whether he remembers our anniversary and brings me flowers or having date nights. You mentioned knowing when to hold your tongue. I think for many women it's the opposite. All of my friends who are unhappy with their marriage is because they don't communicate with their husbands because they don't want to "nag" or stress their husbands. Or they expect their husbands to know what they want/need. I think women are raised to be meek and let our wants/needs go unmet so we aren't perceived as "too hostile, pushy, naggy" My early morning routine is exercise. So many women ask me how I find time for exercise especially when my kids were younger. I don't "find" the time, I make the time. If you want to do something, you have to make the time. That's why I get up early.
Emily,your words of wisdom on marriage and relationships are so right on. I’ve been happily married for 52 yrs to My husband who is similar in personality and character as Bub. And at 81 I’m probably your oldest fan.❤️💚💜💙
Coming from someone that's been married 32 years; that was great advice on marriage/relationships. I wish someone had told me all of that early on in my marriage. Also, I bought one of those raw amber necklaces because of you. I was having terrible headaches and head and neck pain from occipital neuralgia and a ruptured disk in my neck. It worked so well that I bought another one and I still wear two to this day. After about 7 months, however, the effects seemed to be wearing off, so I purchased two more and started getting the same relief again. So thank you so much for talking about the amber necklaces!!
The thing about knowing when to shut up is so true! Also the thing about criticizing. I'm a teacher and part of my job is to always try to get the best out of my students. I realized that I sometimes have to actively shut that part off at home because I don't need to optimize my partner. You're a wise woman :)
Rest assured you're advice on marriage is so valuable and I felt like you were a friend just speaking straight to me. This is why I watch and like every single video of yours, no matter the topic. You're so genuine, positive and kind while still acknowledging your flaws and not taking yourself too seriously. My favorite you tuber hands down❤ Thank you for your time and effort in making these videos and spreading the positivity!
I watch your videos religiously, you are part of my me time. When my husband n kids hear your voice on they know they need to leave me alone at that moment. Your Saturdays video are our to go for breakfast my kids and I watch you together! It’s been over a couple of years I have been watching you and honestly I don’t see myself not watching you ever! Thank you for all that you do! 💜💜
My husband and I are nearing our 16 year wedding anniversary and around 24 years since we started dating and my best advice is to be best friends. Passion is important but can fizzle over time, friendship gets stronger. Just what works for us.
Such great and wise advice, Em! We always hear about communication but sometimes even more important is knowing when to shut up! Not everything needs to be hashed to death.
This is soooo good! Total perfection. I would like to add that we have so many demands on our time these days that we take our family for granted. Take one day a week that will be for your family. No phones! Everyone must share and everyone must listen. See how well you still know each other. Have fun on this day...play games, watch a Disney movie, don’t make it about spending money. You’re the best and such a giver!! I love you Emily. Thank you for always keeping it real!
What a great video!! I consider myself extremely fortunate to have the husband I have. We too were married a while (6 years) before our daughter was born. During that 6 years we literally grew up together, we married at 18 and 19 years old. We learned to respect each other and make our marriage a union. Many of our friends wonder how we've managed to stay together for so long, one reason, love is everlasting and never fails. Thank you again for your wonderful channel, I always watch them all. I'll close with cherish you marriage as you cherish everything good, tomorrow May 2 we will celebrate our 57th wedding anniversary ❤️
I've been married 42 years. We had 4 children during our first 11 years of marriage. I totally agree with you on your ideas of how to make it work. I do have to say that probably the first 12 years were the toughest because we both were working jobs, trying to raise our kids, keep up with it all. I learned communication was the key. We wrote a lot of notes to each other because there were days we didn't even see each other when our work schedules were so hectic. I finally worked only part time to be home more with the kids. Pick and choose your battles. If something is really still bothering you the next day, then address the issue calmer.
I loved your relationship talk... After 24 years together , 3 kids, and all of the ups and downs that life brings... Your talk made so much sense and is so applicable to life.
I didnt have any trouble with my second shot, slight sore arm, I am getting ready for my booster now. I look at it this way, the more medicine learns the more our children and grandchildren benefit. BTW hubby and I just celebrated our 43rd anniversary 10/26, marriage is always learning about each other. Have a blessed day.
I love getting up early and having all that time by myself before the craziness starts. I get up at 4 during the week, and have all that calm, meditation while doing my makeup before going to work. I totally get it! And then about 6 on the weekends. Uh, so nice!
I think you hit the head on the nail about relationships Emily. So much truth said here. Things i needed reminding of. I’ve seen so many relationships go their separate ways during the pandemic. It’s wild. It’s been a test for relationships and what really matters in life. Another random thing I noticed- many people lost their pets.
27 year old and single... Just watched a 30 min long video on marriage advice 😂 I love you Emily! I've been subbed to you since I was 17/18! It's like having another older sister!
I so enjoyed your experience and input on relationships. I've been married for almost 28 years and you were definitely on point. When I focus on the positive in my partner, positivity increases and same applies if I focus on the negative. Your videos are my FAVORITE of all the other RUclipsrs I subscribe to. Be healthy, well and thrive, Emily! Hugs!🤗
I’m at a bit of a lonely place in my life and you are a blessing for me! I’ve been regularly watching all of your videos for 5 years and I’m so happy to have *you* to look forward to ❤️
I have a gratitude jar... I write on separate little pieces of paper three things I am grateful for each day and on those days that I am feeling like there is absolutely nothing that I can be grateful for or am just having a bad day, I will pull a piece of paper from that jar and whatever it reads I really think about what and how I was feeling when I wrote it.. That usually will lead to pep in my step or at the very least a smile..
Emily...I’m not one to comment on videos very often, but...WOW, just WOW! I’ve watched you for years...found your channel during a rough patch in my life. You are truly a diamond in the rough...such a warm and humble soul!
1000% agree with the nonverbal signs. My partner has BPD, so this is very common. I'm pretty in tune with those signs but we also have a great foundation of communication. 4.5 years, not married. Living together for 3.5 years. I feel like the pandemic has made us more in tune with each other's needs and made us appreciate each others presence more. We were on opposite schedules before my partners work shut down and I started working from home.
I’m married 40 years snd I will tell you. You are wise Emily. Be what you want Genius. We’ve been through good times and truly horrendous tragic things snd while we weren’t always happy together it brought us closer. At 62 we know each other so well snd appreciate each other so much and laugh a lot and have conversation and are just so happy. But you are spot on. Ask yourself do I need to spill all the crap on him today. And yes please and thank you!!! Thank you for cooking it was so good. Thank you for handling that etc. Bless you Emily
I feel your pain with the migraines! They can be miserable and can really take control of your life. I’m happy that you have them under control! I had severe migraines about your age too a frequent trigger was hormone related usually during that time of the month. I imagine your bout with migraines could be hormonal too with recovering from childbirth and nursing. Your food and water intake can also be crucial because of nursing and can put a strain on your body if your not replenishing sufficiently. I also still get the aura but no headache now and I’m 74 years old. Even though I don’t get the headache the aura still plays a roll and can cause me to have bouts of dizziness off and on. You are a fantastic mother, wife and human being and really have your stuff together. You gave some excellent advice today and have a really good head on your shoulders. I have been watching your Chanel off and on for a very long time. I love makeup too. I just have to say if I watch your videos first thing in the morning it starts my day off in a positive note! Not only does it help you but it helps all of us. Thank you for doing this…you make my day.! You are beautiful and have a darling family and a positive attitude! Thank you so much!
My love language is words of affirmation and my husband is acts of service. When I accepted that he was not going to compliment me and talk deeply with me as much as I want and I started focusing on all the other ways he shows love (acts of service and others) it made a huge difference for the better. I appreciate the way he does things so much more and we are much happier.
My husband and I have lived by the advice, “ Don’t marry someone you can live with, marry someone you can’t live without.” My husband also likes to tell people “Happy wife, happy life” LOL. Thanks for this video, it’s so great to have this morning! ❤️
Hello Emily! I work in California as a Fitness Trainer and I listen to people talk ALOT about their issues pertaining to relationships. ( If I would of known I would of gone into Psychology, the money is WAY better! ) Your advice on relationships is SPOT ON! The need to say out loud much of what we think is an indulgence that lacks self awareness, knowing how what we say affects the way others perceive us seems to be a lost art. Lets face it, if we ask ourselves if saying it is going to be a TURN OFF or TURN ON, many would zip it! ( I love that you use "zip it" so short yet concise!) I started watching you during the shut down, I don't wear much makeup in my profession but have enjoyed your content, I guess I am living vicariously through you in a cosmetic sense! Thank you for entertaining me all these months, you keep it real and it is appreciated.
I'm 1.5 years into marraige and needed to hear ALL of this. There have been SO many life changes over the past year and it's a shame how easy it is to let that cause a rift.
This is great and much needed!! My husband and I are entering a new chapter in our lives. We are slowly becoming empty nesters. Our three oldest are all out on their own and our youngest 11 y/o is the only kiddo at home now. For so many years is been all about the kids and their schedules. We both are Executive Chefs with demanding jobs. People always say I can’t wait for the kids to be grown but after so many years of it being all about the kids we are literally having to learn to just be “us” again!!
I spent all day yesterday checking for a video. I even started worrying that something might be wrong. It wasn’t until almost bedtime I realized it was Friday. Jeez, lately I don’t even know what day it is! So thankful for your positivity and I always look forward to your content.
Learning more about my all time favorite RUclipsr/ContentCreator/Beauty Guru?? YES PLEASE!!! I am here for this!!! 😃🥰 I buy cute comfy tops from Old Navy and Maurice’s. I know what you mean about not spending a lot due to the small humans and their loving stains 😄 Thank you so much for my Saturday morning happiness and hope you and your family have the best weekend! 💗
My niece’s husband is in the Marines and deployed and she has an 18 month old and a three month old who was born after he went on deployment. She is incredible but I know she misses him and I’m super thankful for FaceTime as they can see each other often. On Easter morning, she came in the dining room while I was feeding Teddy and he looked at her and said, “Oh, pretty!” She cried, I cried and her Mom cried. He was not even 17 months old at the time. I’m still amazed at how sensitive and smart he is.
My husband and I went to marriage counseling once we were empty nesters, to simply learn how to be a husband and wife again. We concentrated on being parents so strongly, that we forgot how to be only a husband and wife towards one another. It is honestly the best thing we could of ever done. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it truly does help.🥰🙏🏼❤️
I’m not married and I don’t have a significant other, but everything you said today is applicable to friendships and family relationships as well. Thank you for sharing your experience, strength and hope with us Emily
Only cow, Em. That advice on gratitude is definitely what the Lord wanted me to hear. My dad is always telling me to count my blessings whenever I’m feeling sad, anxious, or frustrated. I’m stubborn so I haven’t really been listening, but I think this is another sign for me to start writing my daily gratitude again. Also, the quiet time with Bitty is exactly how my dad calms down my brother. My brother has autism so he gets frustrated easily, so whenever he has his fits my dad just holds him and tells him that he loves him. That has worked so much better than just yelling and arguing back. Thank you so much for sharing this advice! Your Christ-like love and positive energy is why I’ve been watching your videos for years. Love you! ❤️
I love your focus on Positive. I have always believed people are Negative Nancy's or Positive Polly's. Love that you're encouraging ALL to be positive.
I have chronic lyme disease and its nice to not feel alone. I have so many things that have happened to my body that I'm constantly in a state of anxiety wondering what will happen today that I wonder if I bring it on. The mind is such A powerful thing. Good to know I'm not crazy!!! I feel like it sometimes🤯
Just listening to you talk about gratitude literally turned my bad mood around Emily! I needed this reminder today. Feeling that “in a funk feeling” coming on and trying to change my mindset! Love your ideas around getting up earlier and setting the day up to start positive. 👍💜
*Relationship advice = speak KINDLY to each other and listen well. Those two things can go a very long way. Even if you're arguing, just be kind and NEVER call names. Words aren't something you can take back. People fight. People argue. There's just no reason to call each other names.*
wow, that color and coverage in your foundation is perfection! And, as far as your "rambling" - I am almost 68 years old and even I had an AHA moment in your dialog as far as even when I know I'm right, there may be no value in pointing that out, so I need to learn when to be quiet! Me? overbearing? controlling? oh the things I need to work on... and thank you for reminding me of how awesome my hubby also is at speaking his appreciation for the things I do to make our lives better and his easier. I am fortunate to know and hear that I am loved. And, when you talked about gratitude and what you're thankful for, it reminded me of my new mantra - Stop focusing on how stressed you are and remember how blessed you are. I absolutely loved this video! Thanks Emily - Sincerely, Jennie
Sometimes your significant other needs to hear that you love them and are proud of them and all the things that you need to hear as well. And by making sure those things are said aloud is a good way to get them to communicate the things you are needing to hear back to you.
I really needed to hear this marriage/relationship advice. My husband and I have been married 13 years and been together almost 16 years. I would love to just come sit on the porch with you, drink coffee, and just chat about anything and everything! Thank you so much for being who you are! 💖
That relationship advice was so spot on! My husband and I have been together for 10 years with 2 kids and I totally get all of that! I’m so glad you decided to share that here with us today! 🙂♥️
I think you’re totally right about HOW to communicate with your spouse. Timing is everything and I think knowing how to do this has saved my marriage over and over!
I dont know about anyone else but im gonna need more relationship talks bc i related so much and i need more now... its like talking to a friend and a friend calling outbur bullshit in a nice way... i love it
Your comments on a long term relationship 💯. My spouse and I will celebrate our 25th anniversary one month from today, have been together for 31 yrs. We have two amazing kids, a 20 yr old daughter and a 14 yr old son, who have made us better humans and have been so gentle with us as parents. The comfort, the knowing, the support found in being connected to your person for the long haul make it worth the difficult times, absolutely agree.
Gratitude is a game changer. I heard someone say, how would you feel if the things you aren't grateful for, would disappear tomorrow? You start to realize how much you have to be grateful for! I expressed thankfulness for my washing machine hoses once, because without them, I'd be up a creek! The lugnuts on your vehicle tires, super over looked, super important and something to be grateful for! You start to realize how much there is to appreciate in life when you consider if you lost everything you aren't thankful for.
💕 I *needed* to hear this relationship advice. My relationship needed it. My life needed it. Thank you. Going to save this and watch it often. Literally took notes. Thank you.
The relationship advice is on point. We both try to make a point to check in with each other and sometimes pushing each other to take “me time”. We also are in the thick of small kids. They are 7, 4, and 2. I’m a SAHM. We both will keep things to ourselves if it’s just an annoyance that won’t end in a productive conversation. Especially, if which ever one of us is in our feelings. That can make for saying things you don’t mean or letting a discussion go too far. If it’s something that is forgotten in a short period of time, then it wasn’t worth starting a fight. We’ve been married since 2010.
Thank you so so much for your discussing your vaccination and the relief that can bring. It’s incredibly meaningful to me as an immunologist, with my spouse being a critical care doc who has cared for Covid patients since the very earliest cases here in the US. Being on the frontline, and being parents to a 3 year old... this has been a heartbreaking and stressful time for us. Thank you for your videos and being such a calm and meaningful voice through this time.
Children is a huge game changer , its something you can’t prepare for and I’ve learned to take each day as it comes . Some days I just take it hour by hour , even minute by minute . Your husband is wonderful Emily it’s always been clear you are a great team ❤️
Just finished watching and this has warmed my heart so much. You are such a light and at the same time authentic and keep it real. Thank you for being here and giving us your time 💕💕💕 keep sharing your nuggets of wisdom, they are def valuable 😘😘😘🤗
Emily I love how normal and everyday you are like the rest of us...thank you for this....I’ll be married 20 yrs this May and the things you are saying are so true and honest!!! Thank you !
Literally the only youtuber that I’m excited for a Q&A because I know I will hear bits that shift my mindset to gratitude and joy for the life I’m living. What an amazing space you’ve created for us here on the internet Emily ❤️
I don't even wear makeup but I've been hooked on your videos for quite some time. You are such a great speaker (you were not rambling AT ALL in this video!) and between your voice and your personality, you just seem so grounded and it grounds me! And I love what you had to say in this one. 'm happy tp hear you will not be leaving RUclips any time soon!
VIDEO REQUEST: Would you do a video(s) using the Lorac mini pro palettes? I bought both the Sparkling and Simmering after your review and I love them! Such good quality 👌

This video is why I’ve been watching this channel for about 15 years. I can’t think of any other channel I’ve watched this long. Her personality is the best!!! She is more than just makeup. I also keep a gratitude journal and agree that it’s powerful. It’s amazing all the big and small things we can find in our daily lives to be thankful for.
Same! Not quite 15 years for me but maybe 11? Love her.
The relationship advice was NOT “rambly”-it was just what I needed to hear this morning! Thank you!!
ok thank you so much!!
Agreed. You don't need talking points. Your natural free-flow approach is more like listening and talking to a friend and that's what people appreciate about you. Even without kids, our relationship has taken some strain in the past couple years - death of family members, uncertainty in job stability, family illness or dealing with chronic medical conditions - all in the middle of a bizarre change in lifestyle and social conditions. Our down time is less rejuvenating because sticking around the house more has created a kind of stifling feeling. So recently we decided to mix it up with some silly games and stuff...indoor and outdoor Cornhole, learning to play poker, finding a way to do less serious things has helped to balance the stress and feeling of "same $&#*, different day." ❤️
Yes omg it felt like the advice was directed towards me, like the universe put this message on my plate ❤️ thank you Emily :)
After almost 42 years of marriage I am finally learning that our relationship is NOT all about me...!!! I have also learned that my happiness is up to me in every way. I find that the better care I take of myself, the happier I am in my relationship. Sitting around moaning and nagging is not the way to change things...I have learned to roll on no matter what...!!! I have learned to let my husband be himself and not even attempt to change him...after all...I appreciate the same from him...I don’t respond well to criticism so I make every effort not to criticize others.
My boss once told me it took him three wives to figure out that he could be right or he could be happy.
That is all so true. ❤️
THIS SO MUCH!!!
Great advice! I was too busy taking care of my guys (hubby and son) that I forgot to take care of me. I would forego the things I wanted to do because the boys didn't want to go or do something. Feeling that way wears you down so quickly.
Emily... if you had any idea how badly I needed to hear so much of what you said today. I so wish I knew you in real life, you always have the best advice on life!
Adore you both!
My sentiments exactly!
aw!! Thanks Jess, you are amazing!
Sweet 😊❤
OH MY GOSH....MY 2 FAVORITES IN THE SAME PLACE!! And yes I yelled that in pure elation..love you both so dearly🙏😘💛
At the risk of sounding really mushy... sometimes, “Emily’s positive energy” is on my morning gratitude list. Thank you!
One more comment: I would cry for DAYS if you left RUclips 😭 your presence on here is so valuable and needed. I watch every single video. My favorite videos of yours is seriously all of them because I just love watching and listening to you talk 💗🤗 love that you share your joy and light with all of us!
I almost lost my husband to a heart attack, a little over a year into our marriage, I've continued to be grateful to have him every single day since. Whenever things get hard I just think about that day, and the fact that I almost lost him, and try to remember how lucky we were and still are. Marriage is difficult, but losing him would have been impossible.
My dad died of a heart attack when I was 12. He had his first heart attack when I was on the way. I'm the youngest, so they were looking forward to reconnecting as a couple when they had an empty nest and doing a lot of traveling. She never remarried. After I was grown, I kind of hoped she would so she could have someone to do those things with.
@@redneckgirl3326 I'm so sorry to hear that. My husband's heart attack happened almost 13 years ago, and at the time he was only 33 and had always been healthy. Shook me to my core to realize just how close I came to losing him, especially so young and so soon after we married. Luckily for us with lots of care and wonderful doctors he's been healthy since, although any time he's sick I get super paranoid and worried.
@@donnabrown6006 My mom was the same way after Dad's first heart attack. If he was working in his shop too long, she'd send me out to check on him. I remember once going out there and he said, "Did your mother send you?" I said she had. He said. "Tell her I had a fart attack." He was a joker.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Praise God he is still here. It truly does put things into perspective, big time.
I did lose my husband of 22 years to a heart attack 13 years ago... He was only 46 and me 42.... I was left with 3 kids... One in college, one in HS, and one in 3rd grade...😥 THE WORST TIME IN MY ENTIRE LIFE that lasted 6 years of non stop grief....
I'm a covid ICU nurse and I actually sobbed and cried when you talked about keeping your parents safe😭😭 if only everyone could be so aware and thoughtful. You're a true gem! I've always known that, though!🥰
You sound like a gem yourself. Thank you for being a caring nurse in this most awful time of Covid.
Katie Carpenter….Thank you, as a fellow ICU/CVICU RN for over 40 years, for caring for this very challenging new crisis !
I had to retire due to me losing most my eyesight (overnight). Hazards of the job….
I LOVE Emily’s advice as it works for ALL of us, married or not, relationship or not.
I’ve had to change my makeup routine drastically due to my eyesight issues but it’s just a matter of priorities.
I’ve been vaxed with the Pfizer no muss, no fuss!
Wiss my parents were still alive! However, the selfish part of me, wants them here but the realistically part of me is glad they didn’t have to live through the hell of Covid. I sooo wish I could be nursing right now and doing whatever I can to help during this pandemic but realistically I can’t with my eyesight.
But thank you for being there for your patients & your parents! Stay safe & healthy!
I pray for my fellow healthcare workers & you too my dear!
I’m 33 but Emily is who I wanna be when I grow up! She’s so smart and knowledgeable. A great mom, person, spouse perfect everything
I’m 49 and Emily is whom I want to be when I grow up!
41 - Emily is mom and wife goals for me too!
I love that she is married to her high school sweetheart!
@@karinal7804 me too!! 👍🧡
I saw a post recently that said "It's nice when someone does something without asking but it's also nice when someone does something BECAUSE you asked." I was always of the prior school but that hit me hard that day. Someone doing something just because you made a request is pretty powerful. I never really thought of it like that.
Yes! This hit me different today. Good point.
One of the best advice I give people when it comes to relationships is this:
Make time for just the two of you. It doesn’t matter what it is. It could be cuddling 30 minutes before bed. It could be drinking Sunday coffee on the porch together. It could be making breakfast together. It doesn’t matter what it is as long as it’s at least 30 minutes of you two together.
love it!!
A fun thing we do in our family to get our kids talking about their day is to ask them: “what is your ‘sunny’ of the day?” (ie. something good, fun that happened in the day), “what is your ‘stormy’?” (Maybe something that made you sad, upset, etc), and “what is your ‘rainbow’?” (Something you’re looking forward to). It’s so cute and they love to talk about it.
girl. as a 40 year old who was married for 17 years and went to *many* marriage retreats, i can honestly say that that was some of the best relationship advice i have ever heard. truly.
This is why I love your channel so much. I’m a single women without children but will bank this advice for the future. You truly invite us into your life and home; that makes your content exponentially special. 💜
Finally early enough to make this request! For your "if I was a (blank) again" series: of I was a CHEERLEADER again! You could do sweat-proof and team colors!
YES YES YES
Emily you should seriously do this in to a series. So many of us love hearing you talk and give advice or share some of your wife/mother life it’s so useful. Thank you for this video.❤️
Em, your ability to be honest but also maintaining joy in your life and outlook with life with 3 young kids just spoke to me so deeply this morning. I am also a mom with 3 littles under 5. I really needed the companionship of the "real talk" this morning. Thanks for speaking joy into my life this morning. You are so much more than a makeup channel, and that's why I am a long time subscriber ❤️
I’ve been married for 33 years. We have three kids with families of their own. Your advice I’d both godly and good! I’m living it. It’s true! ❤️
It shows that you love it. We love you!
I’ve been married for 28 years and 👍🏻👍🏻 to your relationship advice! Yes to all of your points. 💯
I feel during this pandemic my hubby and I have bonded more. We do puzzles together on his days off. Just the quality time together and chatting a bit has been nice. We also have done house projects together. We do have family movie nights which is fun. Some days he has come in and I can tell it’s been a rough day. I let him just unwind before we chat about whatever. Yes we do have are moments like anyone else.
I love to get up early. Have always got up before my kiddos. I felt it was my time. Just get up do makeup and hair while watching the news in my phone. Then to go down stairs have the quiet time reading while drinking my coffee is nice. I do get a work out in some days too.
One thing my husband and I have come to realize and has really helped us is that feelings are valid...sometimes it can be easy to say "I don't know what the big deal is" when the other is upset. But even if you don't agree with their reasons, those feelings are valid and it is important to listen, recognize how they are feeling, and try to understand where they are coming from.
I just started teaching and when I'm asked about how I have the patience to deal with teenagers issues and emotions this is my answer! Emotions are valid and happy and joy are not the only two emotions people are suppose to have. I love having Emily and her community to learn from!
❤️ I’m sitting here feeling wow, I’m not the only one. Listening to you and reading a lot of comments shows me we all have good and bad days. I’m 49 and have always tried to focus on gratitude and counting my blessings. Sitting on my porch at 5 am drinking my coffee is something I never take for granted. Focusing on the positive definitely helps my day go much more smoothly. I was a waitress for 20 plus years raising 4 children and now I’m so blessed to be able to be a stay at home Mimi and help out with my beautiful grandchildren. 💕
I’ve been married for 7 years and have a step daughter. We have our ups and downs but I can’t imagine life without the two of them. Your advice is appreciated and much needed! I love your channel!
Step parents are so under rated. Hang in there even when it’s hard. The kids grow up and those hard stages are great to look back on with great pride that you both made it.
The best life lesson I learned for relationships is to never ever assume the other person knows what you are feeling or what you want. I learned quickly that my husband is not a mind reader nor should he be. If I need something, want something, or am thinking something then I tell him, and he is then more than willing to do what he can to give me what I need. Also, I think expectations of a long term relationship are unrealistic for many people. Relationships change continually and that's ok. It's good. So what when the hyper romanticism and tingly excitement ends. What replaces that is a more profound love and respect for each other. Being comfortable with someone feels good. Knowing my husband has got my back makes me feel loved. Not whether he remembers our anniversary and brings me flowers or having date nights.
You mentioned knowing when to hold your tongue. I think for many women it's the opposite. All of my friends who are unhappy with their marriage is because they don't communicate with their husbands because they don't want to "nag" or stress their husbands. Or they expect their husbands to know what they want/need. I think women are raised to be meek and let our wants/needs go unmet so we aren't perceived as "too hostile, pushy, naggy"
My early morning routine is exercise. So many women ask me how I find time for exercise especially when my kids were younger. I don't "find" the time, I make the time. If you want to do something, you have to make the time. That's why I get up early.
Emily,your words of wisdom on marriage and relationships are so right on. I’ve been happily married for 52 yrs to
My husband who is similar in personality and character as Bub. And at 81 I’m probably your oldest fan.❤️💚💜💙
Coming from someone that's been married 32 years; that was great advice on marriage/relationships. I wish someone had told me all of that early on in my marriage. Also, I bought one of those raw amber necklaces because of you. I was having terrible headaches and head and neck pain from occipital neuralgia and a ruptured disk in my neck. It worked so well that I bought another one and I still wear two to this day. After about 7 months, however, the effects seemed to be wearing off, so I purchased two more and started getting the same relief again. So thank you so much for talking about the amber necklaces!!
The thing about knowing when to shut up is so true! Also the thing about criticizing. I'm a teacher and part of my job is to always try to get the best out of my students. I realized that I sometimes have to actively shut that part off at home because I don't need to optimize my partner.
You're a wise woman :)
Literally nothing but 35 min of one of the most genuine people on RUclips. So real, so wholesome, so positive. Literally an angel.
Rest assured you're advice on marriage is so valuable and I felt like you were a friend just speaking straight to me. This is why I watch and like every single video of yours, no matter the topic. You're so genuine, positive and kind while still acknowledging your flaws and not taking yourself too seriously. My favorite you tuber hands down❤ Thank you for your time and effort in making these videos and spreading the positivity!
I watch your videos religiously, you are part of my me time. When my husband n kids hear your voice on they know they need to leave me alone at that moment. Your Saturdays video are our to go for breakfast my kids and I watch you together! It’s been over a couple of years I have been watching you and honestly I don’t see myself not watching you ever! Thank you for all that you do! 💜💜
My husband and I are nearing our 16 year wedding anniversary and around 24 years since we started dating and my best advice is to be best friends. Passion is important but can fizzle over time, friendship gets stronger. Just what works for us.
Such great and wise advice, Em! We always hear about communication but sometimes even more important is knowing when to shut up! Not everything needs to be hashed to death.
“Just need to know when to shut it”.... yes. I needed to hear this. It is so true and I’m not good at it! Have to practice the pause!
This is soooo good! Total perfection. I would like to add that we have so many demands on our time these days that we take our family for granted. Take one day a week that will be for your family. No phones! Everyone must share and everyone must listen. See how well you still know each other. Have fun on this day...play games, watch a Disney movie, don’t make it about spending money. You’re the best and such a giver!! I love you Emily. Thank you for always keeping it real!
What a great video!! I consider myself extremely fortunate to have the husband I have. We too were married a while (6 years) before our daughter was born. During that 6 years we literally grew up together, we married at 18 and 19 years old. We learned to respect each other and make our marriage a union. Many of our friends wonder how we've managed to stay together for so long, one reason, love is everlasting and never fails. Thank you again for your wonderful channel, I always watch them all. I'll close with cherish you marriage as you cherish everything good, tomorrow May 2 we will celebrate our 57th wedding anniversary ❤️
I've been married 42 years. We had 4 children during our first 11 years of marriage. I totally agree with you on your ideas of how to make it work. I do have to say that probably the first 12 years were the toughest because we both were working jobs, trying to raise our kids, keep up with it all. I learned communication was the key. We wrote a lot of notes to each other because there were days we didn't even see each other when our work schedules were so hectic. I finally worked only part time to be home more with the kids. Pick and choose your battles. If something is really still bothering you the next day, then address the issue calmer.
I loved your relationship talk... After 24 years together , 3 kids, and all of the ups and downs that life brings... Your talk made so much sense and is so applicable to life.
I didnt have any trouble with my second shot, slight sore arm, I am getting ready for my booster now. I look at it this way, the more medicine learns the more our children and grandchildren benefit. BTW hubby and I just celebrated our 43rd anniversary 10/26, marriage is always learning about each other. Have a blessed day.
I love getting up early and having all that time by myself before the craziness starts. I get up at 4 during the week, and have all that calm, meditation while doing my makeup before going to work. I totally get it! And then about 6 on the weekends. Uh, so nice!
Same here. I get up at 4 am every weekday so I can have that me time. My husband doesn’t understand but that’s okay. 😊
@@kimberlymickan7825 lol who cares what they think anyways! 😆
I think you hit the head on the nail about relationships Emily. So much truth said here. Things i needed reminding of. I’ve seen so many relationships go their separate ways during the pandemic. It’s wild. It’s been a test for relationships and what really matters in life. Another random thing I noticed- many people lost their pets.
27 year old and single... Just watched a 30 min long video on marriage advice 😂 I love you Emily! I've been subbed to you since I was 17/18! It's like having another older sister!
I so enjoyed your experience and input on relationships. I've been married for almost 28 years and you were definitely on point. When I focus on the positive in my partner, positivity increases and same applies if I focus on the negative.
Your videos are my FAVORITE of all the other RUclipsrs I subscribe to. Be healthy, well and thrive, Emily! Hugs!🤗
I’m at a bit of a lonely place in my life and you are a blessing for me! I’ve been regularly watching all of your videos for 5 years and I’m so happy to have *you* to look forward to ❤️
I have a gratitude jar... I write on separate little pieces of paper three things I am grateful for each day and on those days that I am feeling like there is absolutely nothing that I can be grateful for or am just having a bad day, I will pull a piece of paper from that jar and whatever it reads I really think about what and how I was feeling when I wrote it.. That usually will lead to pep in my step or at the very least a smile..
Emily...I’m not one to comment on videos very often, but...WOW, just WOW! I’ve watched you for years...found your channel during a rough patch in my life. You are truly a diamond in the rough...such a warm and humble soul!
1000% agree with the nonverbal signs. My partner has BPD, so this is very common. I'm pretty in tune with those signs but we also have a great foundation of communication. 4.5 years, not married. Living together for 3.5 years. I feel like the pandemic has made us more in tune with each other's needs and made us appreciate each others presence more. We were on opposite schedules before my partners work shut down and I started working from home.
I’m married 40 years snd I will tell you. You are wise Emily. Be what you want Genius. We’ve been through good times and truly horrendous tragic things snd while we weren’t always happy together it brought us closer. At 62 we know each other so well snd appreciate each other so much and laugh a lot and have conversation and are just so happy. But you are spot on. Ask yourself do I need to spill all the crap on him today. And yes please and thank you!!! Thank you for cooking it was so good. Thank you for handling that etc. Bless you Emily
I feel your pain with the migraines! They can be miserable and can really take control of your life. I’m happy that you have them under control! I had severe migraines about your age too a frequent trigger was hormone related usually during that time of the month. I imagine your bout with migraines could be hormonal too with recovering from childbirth and nursing. Your food and water intake can also be crucial because of nursing and can put a strain on your body if your not replenishing sufficiently. I also still get the aura but no headache now and I’m 74 years old. Even though I don’t get the headache the aura still plays a roll and can cause me to have bouts of dizziness off and on. You are a fantastic mother, wife and human being and really have your stuff together. You gave some excellent advice today and have a really good head on your shoulders. I have been watching your Chanel off and on for a very long time. I love makeup too. I just have to say if I watch your videos first thing in the morning it starts my day off in a positive note! Not only does it help you but it helps all of us. Thank you for doing this…you make my day.! You are beautiful and have a darling family and a positive attitude! Thank you so much!
I feel like we need more of these GRWM Ted talks. Always love your videos and you for being so real ❤❤
My love language is words of affirmation and my husband is acts of service. When I accepted that he was not going to compliment me and talk deeply with me as much as I want and I started focusing on all the other ways he shows love (acts of service and others) it made a huge difference for the better. I appreciate the way he does things so much more and we are much happier.
My husband and I have lived by the advice, “ Don’t marry someone you can live with, marry someone you can’t live without.” My husband also likes to tell people “Happy wife, happy life” LOL. Thanks for this video, it’s so great to have this morning! ❤️
We say "happy spouse, happy house" 😁
Hello Emily! I work in California as a Fitness Trainer and I listen to people talk ALOT about their issues pertaining to relationships. ( If I would of known I would of gone into Psychology, the money is WAY better! ) Your advice on relationships is SPOT ON! The need to say out loud much of what we think is an indulgence that lacks self awareness, knowing how what we say affects the way others perceive us seems to be a lost art. Lets face it, if we ask ourselves if saying it is going to be a TURN OFF or TURN ON, many would zip it! ( I love that you use "zip it" so short yet concise!) I started watching you during the shut down, I don't wear much makeup in my profession but have enjoyed your content, I guess I am living vicariously through you in a cosmetic sense! Thank you for entertaining me all these months, you keep it real and it is appreciated.
I’m grateful for this video today. Just a reminder that the world is still full of good people.❤️
Your marriage advice was so helpful, you were not rambling, I was so taken with your words!!! Thank you!! 🤍
I'm 1.5 years into marraige and needed to hear ALL of this. There have been SO many life changes over the past year and it's a shame how easy it is to let that cause a rift.
This is great and much needed!! My husband and I are entering a new chapter in our lives. We are slowly becoming empty nesters. Our three oldest are all out on their own and our youngest 11 y/o is the only kiddo at home now. For so many years is been all about the kids and their schedules. We both are Executive Chefs with demanding jobs. People always say I can’t wait for the kids to be grown but after so many years of it being all about the kids we are literally having to learn to just be “us” again!!
I spent all day yesterday checking for a video. I even started worrying that something might be wrong. It wasn’t until almost bedtime I realized it was Friday. Jeez, lately I don’t even know what day it is! So thankful for your positivity and I always look forward to your content.
Yes communication is everything but there are multiple ways to communicate and being quiet is one of them.
Learning more about my all time favorite RUclipsr/ContentCreator/Beauty Guru?? YES PLEASE!!! I am here for this!!! 😃🥰 I buy cute comfy tops from Old Navy and Maurice’s. I know what you mean about not spending a lot due to the small humans and their loving stains 😄 Thank you so much for my Saturday morning happiness and hope you and your family have the best weekend! 💗
Thank you for the suggestions!! I'm so glad you enjoy spending Saturday mornings here! :D have a great one!!
You are authentic, honest and real. Love every video. Thank you Emily!
My niece’s husband is in the Marines and deployed and she has an 18 month old and a three month old who was born after he went on deployment. She is incredible but I know she misses him and I’m super thankful for FaceTime as they can see each other often. On Easter morning, she came in the dining room while I was feeding Teddy and he looked at her and said, “Oh, pretty!” She cried, I cried and her Mom cried. He was not even 17 months old at the time. I’m still amazed at how sensitive and smart he is.
My husband and I went to marriage counseling once we were empty nesters, to simply learn how to be a husband and wife again. We concentrated on being parents so strongly, that we forgot how to be only a husband and wife towards one another. It is honestly the best thing we could of ever done. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it truly does help.🥰🙏🏼❤️
I’m not married and I don’t have a significant other, but everything you said today is applicable to friendships and family relationships as well. Thank you for sharing your experience, strength and hope with us Emily
Only cow, Em. That advice on gratitude is definitely what the Lord wanted me to hear. My dad is always telling me to count my blessings whenever I’m feeling sad, anxious, or frustrated. I’m stubborn so I haven’t really been listening, but I think this is another sign for me to start writing my daily gratitude again. Also, the quiet time with Bitty is exactly how my dad calms down my brother. My brother has autism so he gets frustrated easily, so whenever he has his fits my dad just holds him and tells him that he loves him. That has worked so much better than just yelling and arguing back. Thank you so much for sharing this advice! Your Christ-like love and positive energy is why I’ve been watching your videos for years. Love you! ❤️
I’m crying as I hear you talk about being grateful and positive. I say this with love, it’s okay not to be productive too!❤️
Some of the best advice my therapist ever gave me was “it’s ok to be and not do.” Hit me hard!
I love your focus on Positive.
I have always believed people are Negative Nancy's or Positive Polly's.
Love that you're encouraging ALL to be positive.
I’m getting married today, and I’m starting my morning with some Emily! Love your channel
CONGRATULATIONS praying you have a beautiful day!
Congratulations
Congrats
I have chronic lyme disease and its nice to not feel alone. I have so many things that have happened to my body that I'm constantly in a state of anxiety wondering what will happen today that I wonder if I bring it on. The mind is such A powerful thing. Good to know I'm not crazy!!! I feel like it sometimes🤯
I cannot tell you how much I needed the relationship advice this afternoon. You just fill me up with positivity ♥️♥️♥️
Just listening to you talk about gratitude literally turned my bad mood around Emily! I needed this reminder today. Feeling that “in a funk feeling” coming on and trying to change my mindset! Love your ideas around getting up earlier and setting the day up to start positive. 👍💜
*Relationship advice = speak KINDLY to each other and listen well. Those two things can go a very long way. Even if you're arguing, just be kind and NEVER call names. Words aren't something you can take back. People fight. People argue. There's just no reason to call each other names.*
Completely agree! My husband and I made a commitment to maintain respect of each other, even when we are fighting/disagreeing
wow, that color and coverage in your foundation is perfection! And, as far as your "rambling" - I am almost 68 years old and even I had an AHA moment in your dialog as far as even when I know I'm right, there may be no value in pointing that out, so I need to learn when to be quiet! Me? overbearing? controlling? oh the things I need to work on... and thank you for reminding me of how awesome my hubby also is at speaking his appreciation for the things I do to make our lives better and his easier. I am fortunate to know and hear that I am loved. And, when you talked about gratitude and what you're thankful for, it reminded me of my new mantra - Stop focusing on how stressed you are and remember how blessed you are. I absolutely loved this video! Thanks Emily - Sincerely, Jennie
Sometimes your significant other needs to hear that you love them and are proud of them and all the things that you need to hear as well. And by making sure those things are said aloud is a good way to get them to communicate the things you are needing to hear back to you.
I really needed to hear this marriage/relationship advice. My husband and I have been married 13 years and been together almost 16 years. I would love to just come sit on the porch with you, drink coffee, and just chat about anything and everything! Thank you so much for being who you are! 💖
I just want to say, I’ve watched you for 10 years now, I feel like I’ve grown up with your makeup and life advice!
Thank you for this video-I love watching you anyways, but this made you seem so normal like the rest of us! I truly and grateful for you! 💗
That relationship advice was so spot on! My husband and I have been together for 10 years with 2 kids and I totally get all of that! I’m so glad you decided to share that here with us today! 🙂♥️
I think you’re totally right about HOW to communicate with your spouse. Timing is everything and I think knowing how to do this has saved my marriage over and over!
I dont know about anyone else but im gonna need more relationship talks bc i related so much and i need more now... its like talking to a friend and a friend calling outbur bullshit in a nice way... i love it
Your comments on a long term relationship 💯. My spouse and I will celebrate our 25th anniversary one month from today, have been together for 31 yrs. We have two amazing kids, a 20 yr old daughter and a 14 yr old son, who have made us better humans and have been so gentle with us as parents. The comfort, the knowing, the support found in being connected to your person for the long haul make it worth the difficult times, absolutely agree.
Saturday video !!! Yey!!! How I spend my Saturday to the absolute best for the past 4 years!!!!
Love having you here, Cristina!!
Gratitude is a game changer. I heard someone say, how would you feel if the things you aren't grateful for, would disappear tomorrow? You start to realize how much you have to be grateful for! I expressed thankfulness for my washing machine hoses once, because without them, I'd be up a creek! The lugnuts on your vehicle tires, super over looked, super important and something to be grateful for! You start to realize how much there is to appreciate in life when you consider if you lost everything you aren't thankful for.
Saturday mornings with a new Emily video are THE BEST 💜
thank you!!
So true!!!
Very true! You attract what you are...especially true for my husband and I. You can’t demand what you want, you have to give to receive.
You may feel rambly but what i am hearing is verbal communication and body language is HUGE in keeping a relationship together.
I'm grateful I found you 3+ years ago! 💕 I love watching your videos and this one was helpful, you have some lovely tips. 💕 Thank you Emily! 🥰
💕 I *needed* to hear this relationship advice. My relationship needed it. My life needed it. Thank you. Going to save this and watch it often. Literally took notes. Thank you.
The relationship advice is on point. We both try to make a point to check in with each other and sometimes pushing each other to take “me time”. We also are in the thick of small kids. They are 7, 4, and 2. I’m a SAHM. We both will keep things to ourselves if it’s just an annoyance that won’t end in a productive conversation. Especially, if which ever one of us is in our feelings. That can make for saying things you don’t mean or letting a discussion go too far. If it’s something that is forgotten in a short period of time, then it wasn’t worth starting a fight. We’ve been married since 2010.
Thank you so so much for your discussing your vaccination and the relief that can bring. It’s incredibly meaningful to me as an immunologist, with my spouse being a critical care doc who has cared for Covid patients since the very earliest cases here in the US. Being on the frontline, and being parents to a 3 year old... this has been a heartbreaking and stressful time for us. Thank you for your videos and being such a calm and meaningful voice through this time.
Children is a huge game changer , its something you can’t prepare for and I’ve learned to take each day as it comes . Some days I just take it hour by hour , even minute by minute .
Your husband is wonderful Emily it’s always been clear you are a great team ❤️
Just finished watching and this has warmed my heart so much. You are such a light and at the same time authentic and keep it real. Thank you for being here and giving us your time 💕💕💕 keep sharing your nuggets of wisdom, they are def valuable 😘😘😘🤗
Emily I love how normal and everyday you are like the rest of us...thank you for this....I’ll be married 20 yrs this May and the things you are saying are so true and honest!!! Thank you !
Everything around the 29 min mark are *chef’s kiss*. Thanks for sharing and encouraging positivity! You’re a gem!
Literally the only youtuber that I’m excited for a Q&A because I know I will hear bits that shift my mindset to gratitude and joy for the life I’m living. What an amazing space you’ve created for us here on the internet Emily ❤️
You are just the personification of pure sunshine 🌞 I'm always in a better mood after watching your videos. Thank you! ❤
Love these kind of videos of yours! Please never leave RUclips!
Wow...this is a side of you that needed to surface. It makes you more relatable. Not that you aren't, but I love when you share like this.
I don't even wear makeup but I've been hooked on your videos for quite some time. You are such a great speaker (you were not rambling AT ALL in this video!) and between your voice and your personality, you just seem so grounded and it grounds me! And I love what you had to say in this one. 'm happy tp hear you will not be leaving RUclips any time soon!
VIDEO REQUEST: Would you do a video(s) using the Lorac mini pro palettes? I bought both the Sparkling and Simmering after your review and I love them! Such good quality 👌
I love life lessons with Emily. It may have taken me 3 days to watch this video but I'm so happy thankful that I finally finished it.
