1
Hey, Dee.
2
Welcome back to my house.
3
I've changed a few things around here.
4
I'll show you around.
5
I feel like over the last few years,
6
I've been slowly but surely filling in the blanks in this house.
7
I feel like that's the only way to do it.
8
When you first move in,
9
you don't really know what you need, what should go where.
10
It's just, it's like that sort of comes to you as you live in a space.
11
And so over time, I've been sort of figuring out what I am missing.
12
For example, this little sponge holder.
13
Are you kidding?
14
This is so cute, but I didn't know I needed this when I first moved in here,
15
but I was like kind of sick of this vibe.
16
I didn't like that.
17
And a lot the pieces i've collected since moving in here
18
have been like flea market finds vintage store finds it's kind of a journey
19
and that's why i'm
20
so happy you're back like look you think this is just
21
for show there's sweet treats in there this is my sweet treat jar i like to find myself through
22
being eclectic mixing and matching i love so many different things from so many different eras 60s,
23
70s, 80s, 90s, medieval times, who knows?
24
But when I sort of tapped into that,
25
I found that it magically had a cohesion because the through line was me.
26
I do love birds.
27
Kind of like favorite category of animal, I would say.
28
I just love them.
29
I also love Granny Smith apples.
30
This is not like, oh,
31
this is here because it's cute.
32
Like I will eat all of these apples.
33
It really, that's actually true.
34
Cute little cart.
35
Close your eyes, it's a summer day.
36
And I'm pouring a glass of lemonade for you in this cute little apple cup.
37
Just imagine how you'd feel if that happened to you.
38
I think you'd enjoy it.
39
I do really like playful items.
40
I'm trying to strike a balance of beauty,
41
perhaps elegance in the home with playfulness because that's who I am as a person as well.
42
I enjoy a playfulness, but I also enjoy like,
43
yeah, maybe a little bit of elegance perhaps.
44
Hey, yeah, I'd say that, why not?
45
Another apple thing.
46
And it smells a little bit like apples,
47
as if it doesn't already smell like apples enough in here because there's,
48
I think, 200 apples in my kitchen right now.
49
This area of my house has changed so much.
50
It's random, but the entryway flow is so important.
51
Like, you need to be able to throw the keys down,
52
throw the glasses down, lightly place the glasses on a cute little pigeon glasses holder.
53
Like, you need to be able to throw the keys down throw the glasses down
54
lightly place the glasses on a cute little pigeon glasses holder
55
like there's something about just being able to walk in
56
and just throw stuff down but have it also be cute that's
57
so important also too new addition new addition a little shoe
58
bench imagine me putting my little shoes on right here on this cute little bench
59
and then there's actually nothing in this drawer right now
60
but this is a new piece for my collection with west elm it's really exciting i'm putting pieces
61
that i made into this home it's kind of a magical moment we're kind of breaking it in together
62
and to be back with you and we're here
63
and now there's pieces in my home
64
that i got to design with west dom
65
because they're way better at the actual design stuff than me i just have cute little ideas and I'm like,
66
hey, can you do that?
67
And they were like, yeah,
68
to 90% and then to 10% they were like,
69
Emma, that's like physically impossible.
70
This cutesy little pillow has a lot of little fun things on it,
71
but a lot of these things are also tattoos that I have.
72
An apple, apple, we have lighthouse,
73
there's a lighthouse, a little cottage,
74
that's the house I grew up in.
75
We have birds.
76
I have a bird.
77
They're special to me, but I think hopefully they can find meaning to others as well.
78
I also am obsessed with buttons.
79
I have a button tattooed on my arm.
80
Button inspired.
81
Button on a candle.
82
Smells exactly like buttons.
83
You won't believe it.
84
Oh my God.
85
My favorite pillow ever.
86
Button pillow.
87
Also, button tray.
88
It's like, does Emma...
89
have any other things that she likes.
90
There's also button coasters.
91
This room is particularly button-y.
92
Like I promise the buttons will sort of like phase out.
93
I have to talk about what I'm most excited about in here,
94
which is my new, wait for it,
95
wait for it, game table.
96
Boom, where was this the first time?
97
If I'm being completely honest,
98
when we were like designing this room,
99
I was like, it's gonna be really gorgeous,
100
but I'm never gonna use it.
101
This room is all about gathering, being social.
102
There's no TV in here.
103
It's interesting, like I never would have thought of putting a table in a living room.
104
It was actually my mom's idea.
105
She saw this table from the West Elm Collection and was like,
106
that needs to go in your living room and it needs to be a game table.
107
This little area has changed up a bit.
108
And to be honest, I love this piece so much,
109
but I don't necessarily have the place for it for its like intended purpose.
110
So I was like, how can I make it make sense?
111
Well, it's now my game dresser.
112
I had like a hosting phase a few years ago,
113
kind of fell out of it.
114
We're bringing it back, 2026, Emma's hosting game night.
115
This painting is actually somewhat of a family heirloom that I just received.
116
And it's of these dudes playing games.
117
And so just like all really fit.
118
Speaking of art, I finally finished my gallery wall after years,
119
actually it's not finished.
120
There's still some gaps, but this is now like a complete collection.
121
I will say though, the one piece that has been on this wall since day one and will be here probably forever,
122
This is a piece that my dad did for this wall.
123
It's just a blessing to have a dad who's an artist.
124
There is a piece I painted on this wall, and it is bad.
125
Here's a self-portrait.
126
It's not great, but there's something kind of funny about it to me.
127
And to be honest, I just needed something to hang here.
128
Otherwise, I wouldn't have hung it up because it's really not that good.
129
Aren't these cute, though?
130
My cats are in here.
131
So if you hear a little bit of meowing or hissing,
132
because they like to play.
133
Although it's like, is it playing if you guys are hissing?
134
There he is.
135
What's going on, big dog?
136
All right.
137
This room, the last time you were here,
138
I had a different couch and it was a rental couch because I didn't have this couch yet.
139
This is the couch I was always meant to have.
140
It's kind of a relief to have you here.
141
I'm like, no, you're seeing the truth.
142
This is great for like a little movie night.
143
I've played video games in here.
144
And then there's little things like this.
145
I don't know.
146
Sometimes I'll see a little thing like this and I just have to have it.
147
I also used to have a drum set in here.
148
It was right in the middle of the room,
149
as though I'm a full-time musician.
150
No, I'm not.
151
When I say I'm not very good at drums, I'm actually awful.
152
I enjoy doing it anyway.
153
There are still some guitars,
154
because one day the music will flow out of me.
155
I just don't know when.
156
So I decided to turn this space into sort of half office, half hangout space.
157
I like this room because it's very cozy and I work from home.
158
To me, I was like,
159
let's just make another spot to sit around on my laptop at.
160
The other desk I have is in my podcast recording studio,
161
which is a very boring room over there.
162
We're not even going to look at that today because it's boring.
163
And so now here's my new like real desk.
164
There is nothing I can't do here.
165
I journal, I've been journaling daily.
166
I have been known to watercolor paint.
167
You'll notice I do a lot of self portraits.
168
Huge red flag about my personality.
169
And every single time the proportions are very off.
170
Also, I did make this.
171
This is a little glasses thing.
172
So I could also make things out of clay here too.
173
It is weird how much art that I make that is just of me.
174
I don't know why I do that.
175
But anyway, if I talk to a therapist about it,
176
I'll let you know.
177
I know.
178
She hates.
179
She's not, she's more of a behind the scenes girl, you know?
180
Now we're in my bedroom.
181
So this ottoman is a new addition.
182
I wanted something soft to have at the end of my bed.
183
What I love about this piece is this little pocket.
184
You can put a book,
185
remote control for the TV.
186
Like, I love little things like that.
187
It's just this gorgeous mossy green color.
188
I feel like the energy I'm trying to cultivate in my room,
189
kind of like a soft mossy garden.
190
It makes sense to me.
191
You might look at my room and say,
192
this is not a soft mossy garden.
193
Because it's not.
194
There's like pops of red.
195
It doesn't quite feel like that.
196
But to me, I don't know.
197
It sort of feels outdoor to me.
198
I love this basket.
199
It's actually, if you look at it, it's another apple.
200
So this I love.
201
This is my new vanity.
202
I am so excited about this.
203
This is like the vanity that I wish I had when I was a kid.
204
I have another vanity that has like all my makeup and all that stuff.
205
This is more so my vanity for like,
206
I want to sit down and I want to enjoy doing my skincare.
207
I just want to soak it up.
208
I want to enjoy it.
209
I want to put on my little headband
210
and I want to open all my little drawers and get out all my little skincare.
211
And I want to do all my little things.
212
I want to take out my earrings for the day,
213
put them in this little tray.
214
That's the energy.
215
This is like, I actually have to put my earring back in.
216
Because like, you know, okay, now we're back.
217
Before, this area had a little tree and it had like a little table for a little while.
218
Like it was more of just kind of a visual moment.
219
And now this is such a special little corner for me.
220
The home is sort of always a work in progress.
221
in a way, it really is a relationship where over time you're learning how to work together.
222
It's kind of the same thing with a home.
223
You know, you're figuring out where you like to spend the most time,
224
at what time the light shines through what window,
225
and where it makes sense to have a desk or where it doesn't.
226
Are you going to play the drums or was that just something you did when you were bored during COVID?
227
You know, and then you figure these things out.
228
Kind of letting the home grow with you.
229
I think that's the sentiment.
230
Well, thank you for stopping by.
231
It was a joy to have you back.
232
You're welcome anytime, but I don't think things are gonna change for a while.
233
So maybe I'll see you in like three years.
234
Cheers.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
