hi everyone! i just wanted to share something big. i just quit the healthcare program i was in to pursue a degree in english and art to teach. i’m really excited and i feel like i’m finally doing something right. i remember watching Emmies video about an English major and it just relieved some of the fears I had and helped me take the risk to quit the program I was in. I wanted to share this big change in my life with all your, hopefully this goes good!

Love the new hairstyle😍 I recently finished a book which I think would be right up your alley! It's called "Ankomst" (Arrival) by Norwegian writer Gohril Gabrielsen, and it's about a scientist who moves to a remote abandoned fisherman's hut in the north of Norway to study seabird populations. It has gorgeous writng and explores her life in total solitude as she reflects on her life back home, the nature around her and the people who lived in this remote place before she did. I really recommend it!

I’ve finally got back into the art of reading, starting off with the Shinning from my man, Stephen King. I’ve always been a huge book worm my whole life but over the past couple of years I found myself barely reading or not even reading at all due to school, work, moving various times, getting involved in relationships that did nothing but drain my energy. But somehow I came across your channel and have been hooked ever since. I’ve made it my goal to read more this year and spend less time on my phone and binge watching shows. Now I’ve finished my third book for 2023 and have started my fourth and fifth novels. (3 of them are Stephen king) I’ve quit watching tv pretty much all together unless I’m folding and putting away laundry I watch an episode of shark tank. I’ve made it my goal to focus on myself and doing things I love. Reading has finally made its way back into my life. I just wanted to say how comforting you YT channel is. It’s like a nice big hug while being swaddled in your favorite sweater or blanket. You give off such cozy vibes and I’ve found your voice to be soothing, like a pilot giving the announcement about to land safely to your destination. I’ve really enjoyed all the content you create and the thought, effort, time, and energy you put into making this. I’m glad I came across your work. Much love from Colorado. 🫶🏻💕

If you're interested in how beauty flows into decadence /decay / illness / death...Thomas Mann is the best writer. He's elaborate and playful with language (and some people hate that) but The Magic Mountain and Buddenbrooks are two of his books that I return to constantly. I'll spare you any more evangelizing and just leave a quote from the Magic Mountain here: “And life? Life itself? Was it perhaps only an infection, a sickening of matter? Was that which one might call the original procreation of matter only a disease, a growth produced by morbid stimulation of the immaterial? The first step toward evil, toward desire and death, was taken precisely then, when there took place that first increase in the density of the spiritual, that pathologically luxuriant morbid growth, produced by the irritant of some unknown infiltration; this, in part pleasurable, in part a motion of self-defense, was the primeval stage of matter, the transition from the insubstantial to the substance. This was the Fall.”

hi Emma, i don't usually comment, but i recently picked up this novel by a finnish author Malin Kivelä called “Du eller Aldrig” which, if im not wrong, translates to “you or never”, and i thought it would be basically perfect to add to your winter books collection, as well as to read for your around the world challenge! i have also read another book by her called “Hjärtat”/“heart”, which is a short but fascinating read about a mother dealing with the new reality of her hewborn child being diagnosed with heart deficiency. both of these i read in translation to my native language btw! i think she has such an interesting between-the-lines style of writing, you feel what she's telling you rather than see it. it would be lovely to hear your thoughts on her work someday, though i have no idea if there are english translations of her books 🥲

Psst, here's my cheapskate hair trick: in terms of the Ouai detox shampoo, if you decide you like the results, but don't want to keep paying a lot of $$$ for the shampoo a dyi apple cider rinse works well. Get a bottle of apple cider vinegar from the grocery store (like $5 or $10), and then dilute 1 part vinegar to 9 parts water in a bottle, massage it into your hair and rinse. Do once every week or 10 days. I saw other people suggesting this on the internet and it works really well for me and is soooooo much cheaper.

In the case of you liking Thomas Mann you should probably check out Confessions of Felix Krull and the Magic Mountain. Confessions of Felix Krull is partially set in a hotel and the Magic Mountain in a sanatorium which is a hotel nowadays. I can't understand all the hate Thomas Mann gets. He is great (also a bit too rambly in some parts). Death in Venice is my favourite work of his that I read :)
