It's that time again, time for me to sit down

and share with you all a list of some things that I like right now.

Call this a list of current favorites.

Call this a list of current obsessions.

Call it whatever you want.

But today, that's what I'm gonna be sharing with you all.

And I do this pretty frequently because I'm the type of person that will become obsessed with something for like two months, and then I'll ultimately discard it and replace it with something else.

And it's not because I don't like the thing that I became obsessed with and then discarded anymore.

It's just that I've probably found something that's more exciting to me.

I like to keep my life spicy.

I'm somebody who definitely sticks to a routine.

And so I rely on switching little elements of my routine up to keep my life dynamic and exciting.

I'm not the type of person to eat the same breakfast every single day for 10 years.

I'm the type of person to eat the same breakfast every day for two months and then switch it up.

This is just who I am.

And I do feel like I go through really intense phases with things where I become obsessed

and then I ultimately discard it.

So that's why I'm able to make these episodes as frequently as I do.

So without further ado, this is a list of some of the things that I like right now.

I briefly interrupt this episode to let you know that this episode is presented by Volkswagen.

Don't get me wrong.

Sometimes I love to be a passenger.

Growing up, I loved sitting passenger seat in my dad's old Volkswagen.

Wind in my hair, listening to music.

There was something magical and carefree about it.

But once I got my driver's license, I've loved being in the driver's seat ever since.

Not just in the car, but in my life as well.

This is from me, from Volkswagen, and all the other drivers out there. Do it.

Grab the wheel.

Get in the driver's seat of life.

Now back to the episode.

Starting with a quiet, mindful morning routine.

Okay.

I feel like for a long time, I didn't really think too much about my morning routine.

Like I would just wake up and then kind of do whatever.

I mean, there were certain things that were consistent, right?

Like make my coffee, get to work in whatever way I needed to get to work that particular morning.

You know, I'd go to the bathroom.

I've had phases where I've exercised in the mornings.

I'm not currently in a phase like that right now.

I exercise in the afternoons right You know, it's kind of my vibe, but I don't know.

Like I've never thought too much about my morning routine or like, how do I put this?

I have thought about it, but not from a mental health way, in more of like a technical way.

I've looked at my morning routine in the past from like a productivity perspective.

And recently I had an experience where I kind of girl bossed myself to death, I think.

And it led me to an extreme exhaustion that, well, if you want to know all about that, listen to my last episode about, I think I titled it something like,

I finally learned how to rest or whatever.

And I took a week to just rest and do it effectively.

And during that week of pure, good quality rest, I got into the habit of a slow morning, a quiet morning, and it stuck.

Now I'm back to work.

I'm not resting anymore.

And this has stuck.

And it's so wonderful.

I've been waking up a little earlier to do it, but it's been so worth it.

The quiet morning routine for me is as follows.

I wake up, I go downstairs, I make my coffee.

And first thing I do is I journal immediately.

Just brain dump into the journal.

But I don't force myself to do it if it doesn't feel right for me, right?

Like there have been phases in my life where I've been really into journaling

and then phases where I've sort of let it go because I haven't needed it as much.

But recently, I need it.

And so it's been great.

I sit down and I journal anywhere between one page to like four pages, depending on what I need to get out.

And what I journal about is usually what's going on in my life

and an analysis of what's going on in my life, basically.

I try to balance documentation of what's going on in my life with an analysis of what's going on in my life.

And that seems to be the perfect balance for me

because there have been times in my life where I've kind

of forced myself to journal just to sort of document what's going on in my life.

And that's not useful enough to me to get me into the habit of it.

I think the analysis element is what makes it so valuable and it's incredibly peaceful and incredibly grounding.

And then after that, I go for a morning walk outside.

I prefer to do this in complete silence.

No headphones in, no music, no nothing.

Just the birds chirping, the crisp air on the face alone.

I will make an exception if there's someone to catch up with on the phone

and like that's the only time that we'll be able to chat or there's something really pressing like, oh, I really want to tell.

Then maybe I'll call someone, but I would say four to five times I'm walking in silence

and taking the first 30 minutes to an hour of the day to be silent

and calm and to reflect and to think just keeps me chill for the rest of the day.

Because I feel like I used to wake up and immediately just boom, boom, boom, start doing shit immediately, boom, boom, boom.

And then the rest of the day was just chaotic and high energy and ugh.

And so it's been really wonderful.

Okay, moving on.

Another thing I've really been enjoying is going grocery shopping at night.

There's something about the energy at the grocery store at night that is magical to me.

For a long time, I would grocery shop after my workout class in the afternoon, which was fine.

It was kind of like habit stacking, if you will, as they call it.

Like you combine two habits.

And that was great.

That was fine.

That was productive.

And I still do that sometimes, but I'm in a phase of my life right now where I'm single.

Let's put it how it is.

I'm single for the first time in many years for an extended period of time.

And it's very easy for me to just like never leave the house except for to go to my workout.

And so I've been sort of trying to find ways to get out of the house more, especially during the week.

100

And so there are times when I feel a bit restless in the evenings, especially because I think when nightfall comes, the thoughts start to get a bit sadder.

101

And so it can be nice to kind of get out and get some fresh air.

102

But I don't want to go on a walk at night because that's kind of scary.

103

But going to the grocery store at night where it's well lit when there's people around, love that.

104

And the vibe is incredible.

105

There's just something peaceful about it.

106

It's quiet.

107

There's not a lot of people there usually.

108

You can really just roam the aisles as though time doesn't exist

109

because the lack of people in there just kind of makes the energy more calm.

110

You don't feel this rush.

111

There's something about the fluorescent lights when it's dark out at night.

112

I don't know.

113

There's something weirdly invigorating about it.

114

Also too, for me living in Los Angeles, there's no traffic.

115

I don't know.

116

There's just something kind of magical about the energy.

117

I can't quite put a finger on it.

118

You just have to experience it for yourself.

119

Actually, you probably have experienced it for yourself.

120

You know what I'm talking about?

121

That nighttime grocery store magic.

122

I just, I don't know.

123

Okay, next, reading before bed.

124

I know what you're thinking.

125

Emma, why are all the things that you're talking about not that fun?

126

It's like, okay, first, I love just having a slow morning.

127

Then I love going to the grocery store at night.

128

It's so peaceful.

129

It's like, Emma, these are boring things.

130

Talk about something fun.

131

Those things are coming later.

132

I just had to get this stuff out of the way first.

133

I have gone through various phases of reading in my life, and I fell out of it for probably a year, honestly.

134

I just could not get into it.

135

Like I can't even tell you how many times I tried to get back into reading and it just did not work.

136

And in retrospect, it's because I was overworking myself unnecessarily in my work life.

137

It made me so exhausted that by the end of the day, I could not, I could not focus on a book.

138

Like my brain couldn't do it.

139

And it was my fault.

140

Like it was unnecessary.

141

And as I mentioned earlier, I recently sort of had a reset of sorts.

142

I'm not overdoing it like I was before.

143

I'm not beating myself up.

144

And it's allowed me this mental space to read again.

145

Because I started reading during my week of rest because I had nothing better to do.

146

And I really enjoyed it.

147

And then I've been able to bring it into my routine, thankfully, because it's so nice, particularly reading before bed.

148

For a long time, I would watch some sort of content before bed because as I said, I was too exhausted.

149

I was too exhausted.

150

I couldn't open a book, you know?

151

I had just overused my brain all day and stressed myself out

152

so bad that I didn't have any energy left to do anything remotely challenging.

153

And reading is a little challenging.

154

It requires a bit of discipline to crack open a book, especially when there's easy content being fed to us all the time.

155

So luckily I've taken a load off enough in my life to be able to read before bed.

156

And it's great because it's so much more peaceful, but it's so hard to get into it.

157

It's so hard to get into it.

158

You have to have like the perfect homeostasis in your life to have the energy to read these days.

159

It's, but it's taken me shifting other elements of my life so that I have the mental space to read.

160

But now that I'm reading at the end of the day, I feel like I sleep so much better.

161

I'm also doing something that's good for my brain before bed.

162

Um, so I'm loving it.

163

Okay.

164

Let's, let's move on to fun stuff now.

165

That was all so boring.

166

You guys, ew, why did I start with all that boring stuff.

167

Next, playing charades.

168

Okay.

169

Over the holidays, my friends and I went on a little trip and honestly,

170

I don't think it's exaggerating to say we played charades the whole trip and I became obsessed with charades.

171

Okay.

172

There are many different ways you can play charades, but the particular way that we were playing charades was basically somebody would be the,

173

let's say the host, and then the rest of the people would split off into groups, perhaps two or three groups, And all the teams are competing against each other.

174

Now, oh my God, this is so complicated.

175

Do you care?

176

Do I need to explain this?

177

Whatever.

178

I'm going to explain it just in case you, it's called running charades.

179

Long story short, I'm going to keep it short because you can Google it if you really want to play this.

180

Basically, the idea is that the host has a list of things to act out

181

and the team sends one representative up to start and get the first word.

182

let's say it's taylor swift that's a person um as you know no

183

but let's say the first yeah the first person the first

184

charade is taylor swift they'll get the word taylor swift

185

and then run back to their group and act out taylor swift

186

and then whoever guesses it runs back to the host

187

and says what's the next word then they'll go back

188

and act it out

189

and whatever team finishes the list first wins i'm obsessed with this game you have to get

190

so creative to act out certain things

191

because like how do you act out the band cage the

192

elephant it's hard you have to get creative like you know

193

next thing you know you're like okay four words okay fourth word uh

194

and then you're like pretending that you're an elephant everybody's like elephant

195

and then you're like okay but it's also a band

196

and you're like mimicking a band it's like so chaotic

197

but it is kind of amazing how creative everybody gets

198

and then when you like guess one and it was so hard to get but somehow

199

you were able to almost speak telepathically with people on your team.

200

And oh, it's so good.

201

You guys have to play this with your friends, have a game night and play running charades.

202

You won't regret it.

203

It's just the best fucking game.

204

It's the best game.

205

And it's all I've been thinking about ever since the holidays.

206

And I've not seen my friends since the holidays.

207

Everyone's busy.

208

Okay.

209

Everyone has stuff to do.

210

I need to play running charades.

211

I'm freaking out.

212

Anyway.

213

Okay moving on to subtle nail art.

214

I know when you think of nail art, you think of someone getting excited to go to the Wicked movie and getting Glinda and Alphaba portraits painted onto their nails.

215

And you think of somebody's birthday set of nails, having candles and cakes drawn all over the nails, a nail set that took four hours to complete.

216

I know this is what you think of when you think of nail art, because for a long time, this is what I thought of.

217

Well, open your mind to subtle nail art.

218

Listen, this is not a new concept.

219

We all know what subtle nail art is, but I feel like the nail art trend got

220

so extreme for a minute there where everyone was getting the most detailed sets of nails.

221

It was like, whoa.

222

And then it sort of became, at least for me, this thing where I was like, oh, I can't even think about this anymore.

223

Like the pressure for me, it got so overwhelming.

224

I was like, I can't participate in this anymore.

225

I never really did because I've never had the patience to sit down for nail art that would take that long.

226

But I don't know, I was so exposed to it on the internet and stuff that I just, I ended up kind of ditching nail art altogether.

227

Also too, I was like, it doesn't match with anything.

228

It's just, I don't know.

229

I just was kind of put off by it in a way.

230

And I was getting honestly just plain red nails for a long time.

231

It always looks good.

232

And it's still my favorite plain polish color.

233

But I recently was like, you know what?

234

I think I'm ready to get back into nail art a little bit.

235

Nail art is cool because it's temporary.

236

It's a temporary accessory.

237

Like if you buy a pair of sunglasses, you're committing to that style of sunglass because you purchased an item, you know what I mean?

238

When you're buying jewelry, you're committing to that style of jewelry.

239

And that's an item that you ideally want to have and utilize for as long as possible.

240

The cool thing about nail art is that it inevitably will come off your fingers.

241

Yes, there is a financial commitment, but there's not like a material commitment.

242

And I think now more than ever,

243

that is a cool idea because trends have sort of taken Gen Z in a chokehold.

244

Everybody is obsessed with purchasing whatever the next trend is and participating in the next trend, usually spawned through TikTok

245

and I think it's leaving a lot of people with a lot of things in their closet

246

that maybe they don't love enough.

247

And I think a lot of people have become sort of addicted to participating in the trends

248

because there's dopamine involved and we're also social creatures and we like to emulate one another and it's gotten a bit toxic.

249

And I think the idea of nail art is kind of the perfect way to participate in trends

250

in a way that doesn't leave you with this material responsibility.

251

And so I sort of had this epiphany about nail art and I was like, I should be doing nail art.

252

Yes, it takes a little bit of extra time, but it's kind of the most flexible accessory that there is.

253

And so the key for me was figuring out how do I do nail art enough where it feels exciting to me, but not to the point where it doesn't match anything.

254

And that's been sort of a fun challenge.

255

and I've found so many cool, subtle, neutral nail art designs.

256

Mismatched sets of like a bunch of neutral colors with like blobs and swirls of color on them.

257

Like just simple, neutral designs.

258

I will say the design I have right now is not really very simple or neutral.

259

I have like colorful stripes going on, but they're not so overpowering that they're like clashing with any outfits.

260

So I'm back into nail art.

261

But I feel like for me, in order for them to feel like an accessory, the art can't be too detailed.

262

I want it to almost feel like fabric or something, like an extension of the clothes, not like detailed painted stuff on the nails.

263

Does this make sense?

264

Anyway, moving on.

265

Styling hoodies in a fashionable way, okay?

266

Hoodies are known as a comfortable piece of clothing we think of hoodies

267

and we think of going to the grocery store late at

268

night as i mentioned earlier trying to like stay low-key about

269

it hoping you don't run into anyone you know wearing sweatpants

270

with it like we think of hoodies as being casual i

271

don't think we we often associate hoodies with fashion you know putting together a fit

272

if you will well recently my perspective on hoodies has changed.

273

For a long time, if I wanted a warm outer garment that was lighter than a coat, I would wear a sweater.

274

Recently, I'm getting into styling the hoodie in a way that feels elevated.

275

Like I went to a birthday party and it was at a bar

276

and it was definitely more of a formal evening and I styled a hoodie and I felt perfectly dressed for the occasion.

277

I didn't feel underdressed.

278

I styled it up until it felt elevated, you know?

279

I wore a hoodie with a long skirt,

280

actually a matching skirt, with a black leather jacket over it and pointy black leather boots in a black leather bag.

281

Simple, comfortable, but it felt, it did feel elevated, you know?

282

For more casual days, I've been grabbing hoodies like almost daily with jeans, with like any sort of casual pant, but styling it with like,

283

you know, having a cool belt on and like wearing a cool shoe

284

and like having a cool bag and like really just building it up.

285

I don't know.

286

I'm just loving a hoodie.

287

I love the way it feels, but for some reason I've just been liking the way it looks too.

288

But I also think it helps that I've found quite a few hoodies over the last few months.

289

Like I've slowly but surely developed a collection of really cool hoodies that don't feel as athletic.

290

They feel a little bit more fashion-y, if you will.

291

And I think that's where this love is coming from.

292

Because if you're wearing like a hoodie, like a Nike hoodie, and it's made out of like a sweat wicking material, that's a hard thing.

293

Like you can't, that's a hard thing to style for like a night out, but like a simple, classic gray, cottony hoodie with a really good fit.

294

Oh yeah, you could style that thing up.

295

A hoodie made out of maybe an unconventional material, like some sort of knit material or something like that, that could be styled up.

296

I think slowly but surely collecting a few hoodies like

297

that made me realize not only is this a comfortable item of clothing, but it can also be a chic item of clothing.

298

So I'm enjoying styling hoodies in a fashionable way.

299

Moving on, classic square shaped black glasses.

300

I know what you're thinking, Emma, why are you not wearing those right now?

301

If you're watching the video version of this episode, I'm wearing round, very round glasses.

302

I lost my favorite pair of square shaped black glasses.

303

have no fear I ordered a replacement because I was very upset

304

but for right now I don't have any square black reading

305

glasses it's it's hard for me it's been hard it's been really hard

306

but you know what they say you don't know what you got till it's gone

307

and I honestly don't even think I would have realized how

308

much I love this shape of eyeglass frame right now had I not lost them because it's been a loss.

309

Like I can't tell you how often I reach for these, not just for like reading, but also I like styling them and going out in them.

310

Luckily, I did not lose my square shaped black sunglasses, just my reading glasses.

311

Oh, it's been hard because I rarely like to leave the house without glasses for some reason.

312

It just, it weirdly is like a shield for me.

313

It's like a protector for me.

314

I can't explain it.

315

It's psychological.

316

I don't know why.

317

Also, a lot of times I feel like the attitude that a pair of glasses adds to an outfit is very valuable.

318

And so sometimes I'll put together an outfit and be like, ugh, something's missing.

319

And then a lot of times I'll put on a pair of glasses and I'm like, that's what was missing.

320

And during the day, it's much easier because sunglasses, you know, functional and cute.

321

But in the evenings, it's more tough because can't wear sunglasses.

322

It's kind of douchey vibes.

323

Hey, I've done it.

324

I've done it many times, but I don't like love doing it.

325

I had a little phase where I love doing it and then it very quickly got old for me because I'm like, I actually can't see.

326

So I've gotten into the routine of wearing, reading glasses out at night to add a little bit of spice to an outfit.

327

And I cannot tell you how hard it's been without my square frames because honestly, I would say for the last month and a half,

328

maybe two months, nine out of 10 times that I'm grabbing a glass,

329

sunglass or optical, I have been grabbing my square shaped black glasses, classic square shape.

330

You know it.

331

You love it.

332

You don't even need to be watching the video version of this episode to know what I'm talking about.

333

You know what I'm talking about?

334

Square shaped, square, kind of maybe rectangle, I guess, but kind of square, boxy shaped, classic sunglass shape.

335

You imagine what a sunglass is shaped like?

336

Boom.

337

You imagine what a pair of reading glasses is shaped like?

338

Boom, you know what I mean?

339

It's just like the classic shape.

340

I don't know, there's something just cool about it.

341

I feel cool when I'm wearing that shape.

342

Not that I'm like trying to be cool.

343

And cool is maybe the wrong word

344

because the least cool thing you can do is make a conscious choice to be cool.

345

So that's not the right way of putting it.

346

It's like, I feel like that shape of glass feels, you know what it feels like actually?

347

It feels powerful in a weird way.

348

There's something about like a rounded frame that feels a bit softer.

349

There's something weirdly powerful about like a square shaped sunglass or reading glass.

350

Like it just feels sharp and it feels kind of smart.

351

There's something about the energy that I like.

352

I like right now and I'm craving right now.

353

So I briefly interrupt this episode to let you know that this episode is brought to you by Too Good & Co.

354

I've actually got Too Good Creamers right here in my studio today and let me tell you, this should be the latest upgrade to your coffee game.

355

They're made with farm fresh cream, real milk, and contain three grams of sugar per serving.

356

That's 40% less than the five grams per serving in leading traditional coffee creamers.

357

Two good creamers are available in sweet cream, roasted vanilla, and lavender.

358

All you gotta do is pick one.

359

Find them all at your local retailer in the creamer aisle.

360

Now back to the episode.

361

Okay, next, cute bralettes, okay?

362

think like vintage inspired silk bralettes gorgeous almost sort of lingerie

363

but not like super sexy super like super sexy sexy sexy

364

bralette think more like maybe a little bit more understated maybe

365

a little bit more classic I have a lot of sheer shirts a lot of sheer shirts for some reason.

366

Like I weirdly over the years have collected a lot of sheer shirts and they're great for layering,

367

but something I haven't really been able to do is wear like a bralette under my sheer shirts.

368

Why?

369

Because I haven't found, I hadn't found the right ones, but I also hadn't really looked that hard because I've never really been into lingerie.

370

So it's never really been my thing.

371

I've always preferred comfort in my undergarments.

372

And my thought has always been like, if somebody's taking the clothes off, take the undie off with the pants.

373

You know what I mean?

374

Like, I don't care.

375

Like, let's just get, like, if we're going there, like, I don't need to, like, this doesn't need to be a show.

376

You know what I mean?

377

So I've just never really looked, and thus I've never really developed a collection of cute bralettes.

378

And this has been sort of upsetting to me in some ways

379

because there have been moments where I've been getting dressed and I've been like, oh, it'd be so cute if I wore, like, if I had a cute bralette to go under this top that's sheer,

380

but it's sort of been this thing where it's been like a gap in my wardrobe.

381

And the only time I've really ever thought about it is when I need it.

382

Well, I don't need it.

383

I don't really need anything, but it's like when I've wanted it and it hasn't been there, but then it's not like when I've been out shopping, I've been like, Oh, you know,

384

I really do need to find some cute like bralettes

385

that perhaps I could wear underneath sheer clothing as sort of like a fun element.

386

Because again, as I said, I'm not somebody who really cares about lingerie.

387

So like if I'm wearing a shirt where you can't see the bra through it, I'm wearing whatever the most comfortable bra is.

388

Same thing goes for underwear.

389

And listen, I might end up unlocking my lingerie era one day. Who knows?

390

I actually feel like it's impending.

391

Like I actually feel like it might happen soon.

392

As my prefrontal cortex develops, little things become of interest to me that weren't interesting before.

393

And I do think that there's a chance that lingerie is coming for me, you know, no pun intended, not really a pun.

394

It wasn't really a good pun, but you know, coming.

395

So, you know, whatever.

396

But I do feel like there's a chance that like, I might get into that a little, but it's gotta be comfortable.

397

Cause I'm, I'm very picky about my bras and underwear because I'm very particular about being very comfortable.

398

Anywho, I mean, so the bralette thing for me is more of like, if the bra is going to be seen, I want it to be cute.

399

Right.

400

and I just never had any cute ones and slowly

401

but surely I've started to develop a collection of them

402

because I really did start looking and I've been finding some

403

and you know it is a really like it's a fun

404

way to layer it's a fun sexy way to layer to

405

have like a gorgeous you know bralette underneath a shirt

406

and it be seen it's kind of like a shirt it takes an undergarment

407

and makes it fun

408

and I know what you're thinking it's like Emma yeah we've

409

all known this for years well listen I'm a little behind okay because I've just never been into it.

410

If you're somebody who's into lingerie, you already have bralettes.

411

You already have a cute little silk little bralette to wear under your gorgeous sheer button up top.

412

You already have that.

413

And you like feeling cute under your clothes.

414

Well, guess what?

415

I don't care about feeling cute under my clothes.

416

I care about wearing granny panties that feel good on my butt and everywhere else.

417

I care about wearing a bra that I barely can feel because I hate the feeling of a bra.

418

It's really hard to find undergarments that are functional and cute.

419

Hey, I'm not saying that they're not out there.

420

They definitely are.

421

But it's not an easy feat.

422

And sometimes the most comfortable is a little ugly, you know?

423

I've been on this journey to finding cute, comfortable bralettes that also look cute under clothes.

424

And you know, I'm in a phase in my life now where I take my time with the shopping.

425

So it's taken a bit of time.

426

But now I have all the neutral colors I need.

427

A nude one, a black one, a cream one.

428

I'm good.

429

So it's a vibe.

430

Okay, next.

431

This is very random.

432

So stick with me here.

433

This is a very specific item.

434

I cannot express to you how specific it is.

435

But I actually will proceed to express to you how specific it is.

436

So I will tell you about this item through a story.

437

Okay.

438

A year or so ago, I bought this bag, a vintage bag.

439

It's green.

440

It has pockets on the front.

441

Kind of feels like if a pair of cargo pants were a bag.

442

There's like two pockets on the front with like fold over pockets and buckles.

443

It's a boxy sort of bag.

444

I love it.

445

Recently, I had this idea to take my entire, I kid you not, my entire collection of buttons and pins,

446

cute little ones that say funny little things, have funny little pictures on them, and put it all over the back.

447

Something came over me and I was like, I feel like if this green bag had some colorful little details on it, it would really make my outfit right now.

448

And it worked because the bag is fabric, right?

449

So I could just poke it right through.

450

Ever since I did this with the bag, put the buttons all over it, I have used that bag like every day.

451

I kid you not.

452

It's become my go-to bag.

453

It was my, like, I loved that bag before and I used it all the time.

454

But I put all the buttons on it.

455

That has become my go-to bag.

456

All the colors on it, the fact that it's so dynamic, I am now obsessed with that bag.

457

It's the only bag I want to take around with me because it's the most interesting one.

458

But at the same time, what's great about it is that at any point I can take all of those buttons off, all those pins off, and I have my simple green bag again.

459

Sometimes really taking something that you love

460

and really putting effort into it to spice it up can

461

make you fall in love with it in a way you never even knew possible.

462

You know, it's become sort of a trend to personalize your bag, put a bunch of key chains on it, you know, attach jewelry to it, put stickers on it, like whatever,

463

like it became a trend to sort of beat up your purse and give it personality.

464

Perhaps this idea subconsciously came from that.

465

But I think the reason why I love it so much is because I've collected the pins over time.

466

Half of them are ones that I found online that I thought were funny and like matched my personality.

467

The other half, random vintage ones that I found at like flea markets and stuff like that.

468

But they all do feel personal to me.

469

And I think that's what makes this sort of version of personalizing my bag feel kind of genuine, I guess, to me.

470

Like it doesn't feel like I forced it.

471

People were buying things that they didn't maybe even like that much to follow that trend.

472

They were buying things that weren't personal to them.

473

Key chains and clips and little like dangly things to add onto the bag.

474

I always try to inspire

475

myself and others to participate in trends only

476

if it feels super honest to oneself in one's sense of style like

477

if a trend pops up

478

and it feels you great you know you probably already have the stuff then to participate in the trend

479

because if it's so you you know you might already have it

480

and if not you know i think an extra step of thought

481

and due diligence is necessary in order to ensure

482

that the trend is not being participated in just

483

because it's simply a trend um not that i need to defend myself

484

but i think the reason why this worked out so well was because i already had all those pins

485

I already had that bag.

486

And that I think is proof, at least to me, that it's like, okay, this is not following a trend wrongfully.

487

This was just, I don't know.

488

I think I'm making it a little bit deeper than it needs to be, I fear.

489

I fear that I'm having a spiral about this and that I don't need to be.

490

So let's move forward because I'm going off on a tangent that is so unnecessary, really unnecessary.

491

Let's move on.

492

Oh my God.

493

The next thing I'm about to talk about might be my favorite thing on this whole list.

494

Okay.

495

It's a food item, a concoction that I came up with.

496

Now, did I invent it?

497

Probably not.

498

I could probably find this sort of recipe online.

499

It probably already exists, but I didn't see it online.

500

Like I invented it.

501

And so I feel like I invented it.

502

So like, let me believe that I invented it.

503

Okay.

504

Let me explain it to you.

505

You need green apples.

506

You need vanilla flavored Greek yogurt.

507

Okay.

508

Or any sort of yogurt of choice

509

but vanilla flavor is ideal i don't know is there caramel flavored yogurt

510

that could work um okay you need peanut butter powder pb2

511

you know peanut butter powder it's like you know what peanut butter powder is it's it's peanut butter

512

but but turned into powder okay you need flaky salt and optional

513

if you want to find this very niche random product you

514

need peanut butter extract okay yes i somehow found peanut butter extract don't ask me how i found

515

that don't ask me how i know that

516

that exists don't ask me why it's in my pantry

517

but it is it's definitely an optional ingredient but i do think it adds a little bit

518

of extra peanut flavor to this okay now there's a few ways

519

that you can assemble this

520

but the most important element is this peanut butter yogurt okay

521

i take probably like anywhere between a half cup two-thirds cup

522

of yogurt you want it sweet like don't do unsweetened this

523

will not taste good i put in i kid you not

524

a fourth cup of peanut butter powder okay dumping it in

525

dumping it in a little bit of the peanut butter extract

526

flaky salt a little bit of water you need to put a a little bit of water in there.

527

It's too thick to just mix the peanut butter powder into the yogurt.

528

You need to add a little bit of water to help it mix.

529

Okay.

530

Now cut up that granny Smith apple or two.

531

Okay.

532

If you want to make a yogurt bowl, cut the apples into chunks.

533

If you want to dip your apple slices into this yogurt, peanut butter mixture, be my guest.

534

Uh, when I first started making this bowl, I was cutting into chunks.

535

Then I realized, you know what?

536

There's something about eating cubes of apples over and over

537

and over and over and over again in a yogurt bowl that's hurting my mouth.

538

It's like cutting up the roof of my mouth.

539

I'm going to start doing slices.

540

So now I'm doing slices.

541

Just get that green apple into that yogurt and enjoy.

542

I mean, it is so good.

543

I don't, this is my snack of the moment.

544

Like I look forward to this snack.

545

It is so good.

546

And I'm telling you the flaky sea salt makes it.

547

And you might even want to take the flaky sea salt to the table with you

548

while you're eating because you might want to add a little bit more as you go.

549

It's so good.

550

Special shout out to my apple slicer, a very unnecessary kitchen gadget that I'm not sure why I have.

551

I don't even know when I bought it, when it came into my life, but I have it and I do use it every time I cut an apple because it makes it a lot easier.

552

I mean, cutting an apple is not that hard.

553

I'll tell you, it's really not.

554

But to just be able to push down and have like a bunch of big slices, I mean, you still got to do a little bit of grooming of the apple slices after that, right?

555

It's not like they're fully complete.

556

Cut them a little thinner, you know, cut off any little bits that maybe you didn't want in your slice, but definitely cuts the time down.

557

So if you have one, show some love to it.

558

If you don't have one, you don't need one.

559

I don't know why I have it.

560

It's so bizarre.

561

I don't know where it came from, but I use it.

562

It's my favorite snack.

563

Just give it a try.

564

It's delicious.

565

It's fun to eat.

566

Like it's just such a joy.

567

I wonder how long this snack fixation will last.

568

To be honest, it might be years.

569

I could see this one going on years.

570

I had a phase with this one smoothie.

571

I was so obsessed with this one smoothie.

572

It was so good.

573

I think I drank it every day for over a year and then it got replaced by this snack, this apple peanut butter yogurt snack.

574

And I have a feeling I'm going to be on this one for a while.

575

You won't hear about me replacing the snack for a while.

576

This is like one of the best snacks I've ever made.

577

I mentioned flaky salt.

578

And my next favorite thing is flaky salt.

579

I love flaky salt.

580

I like having a little dish of flaky salt out while I'm eating.

581

And I like to be able to add flaky salt as I'm eating.

582

Like, for example, I've been recently making a lot of soups.

583

And listen, my soup is salty, but like I try not to make my foods too salty

584

because it kind of scares me because like you can't take away salt, right?

585

You can only add it.

586

So I always, when cooking, under salt a little because I'm like, I can salt to taste in the moment.

587

And there's something about just digging into the little salt, the little salt thing, digging in there, pinching some salt, sprinkling it on your food, mixing it up, eating it.

588

Like there's something about the experience of like pinching the salt and crushing it in your fingers into your food

589

that's so satisfying and fun.

590

And it just adds to the experience while you're eating.

591

Like instead of taking a salt shaker and just whatever, hey, why not have a little dish out with some flaky salt?

592

It's fun.

593

A little extra, but I don't know.

594

Sometimes the little things like that can be weirdly satisfying and kind of fun.

595

Okay, next, another food item.

596

Let me tell you something about golden kiwis, okay?

597

Take everything you know about a normal kiwi.

598

What do you know about it?

599

Well, it's brown and fuzzy on the outside.

600

It's green on the inside.

601

It's tart.

602

It's a little sweet.

603

Okay, now imagine a kiwi that's the same, except when you cut it open, instead of it being green, it's golden.

604

And when you take a serrated spoon, if you have one, yes, I have those, so random, but so helpful for eating kiwis,

605

a spoon with like sharp edges for eating grapefruit or kiwi, anyway, very helpful.

606

Maybe that should be on this list as well.

607

Well, consider it added.

608

Okay, imagine taking your serrated spoon or your normal spoon, digging it into your kiwi and taking a bite and imagine taking a bite of the best kiwi you've ever had.

609

That is what a golden kiwi tastes like.

610

I didn't believe it.

611

Okay.

612

My dad started talking to me about golden Kiwis a few months ago.

613

He was like, Oh, have you tried golden Kiwis?

614

I was like, no, or maybe what is that?

615

He's like, it's like a Kiwi, but it's like better.

616

And I was like, come on.

617

Like Kiwis are already really good.

618

Like how could they get better?

619

And I kind of just didn't believe him, which is really rude in retrospect.

620

I couldn't imagine a Kiwi would be like that good.

621

And I couldn't imagine how like different, you know, a different breed of kiwi could be.

622

I was like, I don't know.

623

Anyway, over the holidays, when I was home for Thanksgiving specifically, my dad was like, get into a golden kiwi.

624

And I was like, all right, sure.

625

I tried it and I was like, oh, I totally get it.

626

The flavor is just a little bit sweeter, but also just a little bit tartar.

627

That's not a word than a regular kiwi.

628

It's like the flavors are turned up a notch, but also the texture is better.

629

The texture is a bit less grainy.

630

Like a kiwi is often very, is a bit grainy.

631

Well, let me tell you about a golden kiwi.

632

Smooth, a bit more buttery.

633

I don't know.

634

They are better.

635

So if you see golden kiwis at your local grocery store, pick them up and give them a try.

636

I actually just talking about them makes me want to have a golden kiwi right now.

637

So after I'm finished recording this episode, I'm going to go eat at least four of them.

638

And let me tell you, they go down easy.

639

I can eat so many golden kiwis in one sitting and they probably help you poop.

640

I bet I poop amazingly after I eat them.

641

I don't know for sure, but I can imagine that it's not hurting.

642

Next, another food item.

643

We have sesame anything.

644

I've always loved sesame.

645

It's been a flavor profile that I've loved for many years, but recently I'm just really into it.

646

I'm gravitating towards it.

647

I'm like putting sesame seeds on everything.

648

Okay.

649

If I can add sesame seeds to something, I will.

650

If it remotely makes sense from a flavor profile perspective, I am adding sesame seeds.

651

I went to an ice cream shop.

652

They had a sesame flavor ice cream.

653

I got it.

654

It was delicious.

655

Very recently, actually, I went to a coffee shop.

656

I wanted to get a drink.

657

I wanted to get something to sip on, but I couldn't do caffeine.

658

It was too late in the day.

659

I just couldn't do it.

660

And so I got a sesame latte.

661

Okay.

662

If you don't know what a sesame latte is,

663

it's basically like sesame paste mixed with water and then milk is added to it. So good. So good.

664

Now I'm obsessed with sesame lattes.

665

Delicious.

666

Add a little bit of honey to it.

667

Yum.

668

Yum.

669

Yum.

670

Yum.

671

Yum.

672

There's just something about it.

673

Sesame oil.

674

Oh my God.

675

To like, if you cook anything in sesame oil, it'll taste good.

676

I'm craving sesame right now.

677

It's all I want.

678

Moving on.

679

Weird dessert fixation I've been having lately.

680

All I want to do is eat a brownie or a chocolate cake.

681

A dense chocolate dessert is what I want right now.

682

Now this is weird because I normally don't care for, I mean, I always love a brownie.

683

I always love a chocolate cake. Who doesn't?

684

There's probably a few people out there, but they're few and far between.

685

That's obviously a delicious dessert.

686

Like obviously duh.

687

And if it's in front of me, like, yes, but I feel like there was a long period of time

688

there where I'd probably choose something else before I choose a brownie or a chocolate cake.

689

But for some reason right now, I am craving that a dense,

690

chocolatey, super rich, chocolatey, chocolatey, chocolatey baked dessert.

691

That's just what I want.

692

And I did make brownies a week ago and it was very fun to make.

693

It was very fun to eat.

694

But that's just my dessert craving right now.

695

I used to be more of like a chocolate chip cookie cinnamon roll.

696

I don't know kind of girl, but like a brownie with ice cream to me right now, that is perfect to me right now.

697

And last but not least, for the list of things that I like right now, I like what I can't have.

698

Ooh, there's just something about it.

699

There's something about what I can't have right now that I like.

700

If I can't have something right now, I like it.

701

I really like it.

702

Yeah.

703

And we'll end on that note.

704

So that's all.

705

That's all for today.

706

I will check back in with you soon on more things that I like, but we have to let time pass because that is how the list forms.

707

So if you enjoy this episode, stay tuned.

708

There'll be another one.

709

I can't tell you when because I can't force the list to be finished, right?

710

It just, it happens when it does.

711

But until then, new episodes every Thursday about a lot of different topics.

712

If you wanna watch video episodes, see fun pictures on screen sometimes, that's on YouTube and Spotify.

713

If you wanna just listen, you can listen anywhere.

714

Anything Goes is on social media at Anything Goes.

715

I'm on the internet at Emma Chamberlain and my coffee company exists and it's called Chamberlain Coffee.

716

Thank you all for listening and hanging out. As always, it's a joy to psychoanalyze things with you to the point

717

where I start to feel my sense of reality sort of escaping me, to be honest.

718

Perhaps that's just who I am as a person.

719

And I'm grateful if you made it to this point in the episode that you can tolerate me that long.

720

So that's a blessing.

721

And I'm very grateful for you.

722

Thank you for listening.

723

Thank you for hanging out.

724

I love you.

725

And I'll talk to you soon.

726

Bye.

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण

वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:

संरचना	वीडियो में
Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — पहले शुरू हुआ काम जो अब भी जारी है	I've been waking · I've really been enjoying · I've been thinking
Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है	I've probably found · I've loved · I've had
Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है	is presented · being fed · are known
Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी	somebody who definitely · afternoon, which was · somebody who really

ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण

वक्ता 262 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे I'm, don't, I've। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।

“th” की ध्वनियाँ: smoothie /ˈsmuːði/, underneath /ˌʌndɚˈniθ/
“sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: charade /ʃəˈɹeɪd/, sheer /ʃɪɚ/, lingerie /ˌlɑn.ʒəˈɹeɪ/, casual /ˈkæʒ(u)əl/, fixation /fɪksˈeɪʃən/
लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: unnecessary /ʌnˈnɛs.əˌsɛɹ.i/, accessory /əkˈsɛs.(ə.)ɹi/, undergarment /ˈʌndɚˌɡɑɹmənt/, psychological /ˌsaɪ.kəˈlɑː.d͡ʒɪ.kl̩/

हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:

/v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: kiwi /ˈkiːwi/, flavor /ˈfleɪvə/, weirdly /ˈwɪə(ɹ)dli/, craving /ˈkɹeɪ.vɪŋ/, swift /swɪft/
/z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: dessert /dɪˈzɝt/, exhaust /ɪɡˈzɔst/
शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: snack /snæk/, slice /slaɪs/, spoon /spuːn/, swift /swɪft/, smoothie /ˈsmuːði/

इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें

पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर nail, kiwi, sesame जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
