#stayhome
- [Emma] Hi, I'm EmmaChamberlain, I'm a Youtuber,and this is how I work it.I'm gonna take you through24 hours of my beautyand wellness routine.Over the course of three years,I've created almost 250 YouTube videos.I started YouTube when Iwas 16, I'm now almost 19.In addition to YouTube, I also am presenton every social media platform.Instagram, Snapchat, Tik Tok, Twitter.Any social media, I'm probably on there.I also have a Podcast, andI have a coffee company.That's about all I do.I would say the hardestpart about doing what I dois the constant judgment.Also, the lack of privacy,but that is also what yousign up for.So, I'm not complaining, butit is one of the worst parts.And, the haters.Hate to say it.Hate to even give them a little shout out.But the best part is theconnection I have with the peoplethat watch my videos and enjoy my content.We've created a great community,and that's a beautifulthing, and that'sdefinitely my favorite part.It's really, really special.Good morning.It is --What time is it?I think it's ten a.m.Recently, I've been waking upat eight and then going backto sleep because I havenothing to do at eightin the morning right now.I wish that I could tell youthat I wake up earlier thanten a.m., but I don't.It's like I can't, I --What am I gonna do ateight in the morning?Like, there's really noreason for that right now.It's not like I could go for a run, or --Oh, I could, but I'm not going to so --Anyway.Since we've been stayinghome, my job actually hasn'treally changed a lot.I created the majorityof my content insideof my house anyway.Hi![calm music]So, it's been pretty smooth.I'm really, really gratefulthat what I do is mainlyhouse-based, so I've been really lucky.The second that I wake up, Iwalk downstairs and it's coffeetime every single morning with no fail.Every morning I'm in a bad mood.I don't normally wake up this early.That's why I seem like I'm abrick with no brain right now.'Kay?It's just anger, like I'mjust running around to, like,get my coffee.Every morning I make myown coffee that I createdwhich is weird.It's not weird, but it'sweird to say to me stillto this day.Today we're making my favoriteChamberlain Coffee cold brew.I make cold brew every night.600 milliliters of waterin a large mason jar,three coffee bags, mixit, and then you cold brewfor, like, three days.I put some ice, put some coldbrew, put some almond milk,take some of my favoritevegan creamer to make ita little more creamy.I over filled it.But I will drink probablyfour of those in one day.Delicious.Make my coffee, take my Acutane.Acne medicine!You're supposed to takeit with a form of fat.I always like to eat nutbutter, but I ran out.So, I have to eat a peanut butter cup.What a shame!That is my morning routine.I wish that I was one ofthe people that, you know,meditated, did yoga, exercisedearly in the morning.Ow.I'm just not that type of gal.Today I'm gonna be recording a podcast.You know what's greatabout recording a podcast?I can look exactly likethis and nobody will know.I tend to be really eager inthe morning, so I want to usethat, you know?Instead of just throwingout that eagernesswhen I'm, like, washing my face.I feel like that's thebest way to wake me up.It's like getting hit inthe face with cold water,except I'm working.I wanna just get as manythings done as I canbefore I, like, do mywhole morning routineand all of that stuff.Can you guys stop?My cats are fighting outside of that door.Stop.[claps]I normally record my podcast in a studioand now I'm recording it at home.I record my podcast on the floorin my closet now.But, I've actually reallyenjoyed that shift.I have this little mobile kitthat's pretty easy to use.You literally just power it on.Why did it not turn on?Oh, there it goes.And I talk into it in this room, actuallybecause there's all these, like, clothesso there's less echo inthis room than there isin my other rooms in my house.So, I'm gonna get started recording.Welcome back to "Anything Goes."I'm Emma.You guys know the drill.Usually if I have workearly in the morning,it's either a call, a meeting --Not right now, though.A Zoom meeting.Recording a podcast, scheduling things,going through emails.That's a big one.I'm so bad at email.I try to read them, butthen I forget to respondand it's a mess.It's like, how am I supposedto sift through that?I'm busyplaying Fortnite.I've been playing Fortniteto unwind in the morningonce I'm done with myfirst few work things.Oh, guess what time it is?I'm not a gamer.Actually, I am.I don't know what I'm talking about.The fact that, like, this isa part of my daily routine.Some people are doing yoga.And, it's embarrassing, but I love it.Oh!I'm done with Fortnite!So, I've been doing that.I should not be this good!There is no way I should be this good!So, let's get into mymorning routine once I'm donewith my first few items ofwork and I'm ready to kind ofmaybe feel presentable, maybejust take care of my skin.When it comes to skincare, I switch it up.Whatever products I havein my drawer at the moment,that's what I'm using.I have been using CeraVeHydrating Facial Cleanser.Super affordable and amazing.I try to keep it reallysimple with my skin carebecause I used to do a bunchof stuff, and it never worked.Right now, I'm using,like, a sensitive skin oil.Face oils, I've just noticed,help your skin stay hydratedfor longer.I'm on Acutane, which is an acne medicine.It makes my skin super dry.I've never been shy about my acne.This zit won't pop.I tried to pop it, andnow it just looks ugly.I just really wanted clearskin, and nothing was workingand my dermatologisttold me to go on Acutane.And I was like, I'll doanything at this point.It's not for everybody.It causes a little bit ofback pain, and you break outpretty bad in the beginning.But, you know, my skin's really dry.I'm always carrying aroundAquaphor everywhere, literally,because my lips are always dry.I read online that thisstuff, Lanolin Cream, is greatfor your lips.It is nipple creambut I use it on my lips.This has cured my lips during Acutane.Oh, I also need to brush my teeth.I forgot, so let's get right into it.I really do not have a strict routinein any way, shape, or form.I'm not gonna act like Ihave some sort of elaborateplan every day.Okay, 'cause I don't.I'm prolly gonna go layback in bed and relaxfor a little bit longeruntil I can figure out whatI wanna do with my day.See you guys soon!So I did just lay in bed fora few hours, and it was great.I decided I'm going to film avideo today, but number one,I need coffee.The content of the videodetermines the type of prepthat I need to do to film.Although, I feel likefilming videos for meis, like, very low prep.Just 'cause everything Ipost is very raw and realso I just turn on my cameraand film what's going on.[passing gas]Oh my god, I almost peed myself.But, sometimes I like to puton a little bit of makeup.Sometimes I want to put on makeup to film.Sometimes I don't.Sometimes I wanna just puton makeup for no reason.I don't really like the lookor the feel of wearing a lotof makeup.I mean, it can be funmaybe, like, twice a year.I like to do my makeup in,like, under 15 minutes.I am not a pro at makeup.I am completely the opposite.So, let's get started.I'm a big fan of really light foundationsor light BB creams, CC creams.Recently, I've been usingthe Kosas tinted skin oil.It is so nice and thin and light.To be completely honest,if it was up to me,I'd never wear makeup again.I do like it, though,but I hate the feeling.I'm torn.I've always been tornon my makeup opinion.I like putting it on.I'm just super lazy about it,so it doesn't usually come outas well as it should.That looks good enough.Next, I will be taking some concealer.I recently have beenliking this Chanel oneto cover my blemishes.Oh my god, I have a huge zit right here.That's nice and big.And then I use this Kosasone for my under eyes'cause it's a littlebit of a lighter color.So, it kind of highlights my face.Look at me, acting like I knowwhat the I'm talking about.Then, we just blend it all in.Everyone looks differenton camera and in person.Everybody.It's so bizarre.Like, when I look in themirror versus when I lookin the, like, whatever that's called.The flip-out screen.Like, I look different.My makeup looks really odd on camera.I promise you it doesn't lookthat weird in the mirror.Although, I don't knowwhich is more accuratethe camera or my mirror.Could be either.I don't know what I look like anyway'cause I don't --I've never seen myselffrom another point of view.Oh my god, I just kindof thought about that.That's something to thinkabout in the shower later.I will save it.Sorry.The main thing when I'mfilming is making sure that Iput a lot of setting powderon because it's really easyto look shiny on camera.And not even baking your facebut just lightly brushingpowder all over your face before you film.It solves all the problems,so I make sure to powder it upa little bit, especiallyunder my eyes, too.And, that's that.This is the Marc Jacobs bronzerthat I broke the first dayI got it.Just lightly bronze.That was not very light, actually.Around the rim of my --I literally don't know what I'm doing.Buff it out a little bit, so it looksa little bit less harsh.After that, I add my bronzeronto my lid just to kind of addsome definition to my lid.Make it pop a little bit more.And, I think it's nice to usea little extra highlight, too,because I feel like highlightlooks really, really niceon camera.This Milani highlighterthat I got so long ago.Prolly four years ago.Actually, no, not four years ago.Maybe three years ago.That's better.I highlight my nose and my lipa little bit, under my brows,in my inner corner, and thenright above whatever this is.Cheek bone.Then, I take my favoriteMaybelline Great Lashand I do my eyebrows.I don't really color them in or anything.I just lightly comb them justso they stick in place all daybut I don't really do much to them.Next, I'm gonna take thisBeautycounter eyeshadow palate.It has some nice, neutral colors.I will take a short, littleangled brush, and I will drawkind of, like, eyeliner onmy upper and lower lash line.I think this just really makes my eyes popbecause my eyes are blue,and this is, like, orangeand those are complementary colors, so --Doing, like, eyeliner witheyeshadow is, like, one of thebest hacks I ever learned.It's just so much easier,and there's so much more roomfor mistakes, which is great for mebecause I make a lot of mistakes.Cool.All right, now I'm gonna takethis really shimmery, whitecolor and put that in my inner corner'cause I really like tohave a bright inner corner.I'm not really in themood to do blush todaybecause my complexion hasbeen looking a little bit redso I feel like that rednessshows through my makeupand actually makes me looklike I already have blush on.So, I'm not gonna add to that storm.My lips are extremely dry right nowand I need to exfoliate them.But, I did forget.So, we're just gonna usemy hoodie to wipe them,which is gross, but, like,this hoodie's gonna goin the wash when I change.So, can we all relax?Thank you.Daily, I use the Too FacedLip Injections Lip Gloss.It makes your lips look soplump and full naturally.I'm gonna try out thisBenefit Roller Lash.I've never tried it.This actually is reallygreat mascara so far.And also doing extra mascarabecause mascara just disappearson camera, so I put extra.Make it extra thick.Wow, that really mademy eyelashes look long.This might be a new favorite.Ow, I just poked myself in the eye!I'm gonna be using theKosas hyaluronic lip balm.Just put this over mylip gloss a little bitto add some color.So, here's my makeup.Final makeup.Thoughts?I think it looks pretty good today.[trumpet playing]And then, if I'm not wearingmakeup, I just try not to putoil on before I film becausethen my skin will look oily.And that's that.Anyway, I'm gonna go --Actually, my food is almost here.Oh, my food is here.Hold on.More on this in a second.Okay, it's time to eat.So, I've actually never tried this.It's like a vegan protein bowl.Looks quite healthy.Let's give it a little try.Oh, that's great.So, I'm gonna eat this, andthen I'm gonna film a video.And then, I will see you guysafter, and we'll see whatI end up doing.Peace.For my nails, I normallyhave gel acrylic nails.Not too long, but, you know,just a little bit added.Sadly, right now, my nails fell offand I don't really have any nail polish'cause I normally go to the salon.So, I ordered a gel nailkit, so that I can do my owngel nails.The LED light thing.Really excited about that.We'll keep you guys posted on that.I miss my long nails.I don't feel like abad bitch without them.When it comes to, like,immediately before filming,I do like to have a coffee just'cause an excuse to have a coffee.I don't think it actuallyaffects my performance.I think it's just 'cause I want an excuseto have another one.Sorry, I had to burp.I think the thing about methat's a little bit different,maybe, than other Youtubersis that I really, genuinelyroll with it.I'm literally about totorture myself for 24 hours.Like, I don't know why I'm doing thisbut, like, I really want tobecause I feel like it'd be fun.It's so random, and it'sso like, spontaneousand that's why I like it.Um, I might be doingsomething kind of stupid.I don't have to plan anything.I get an idea, sometimes at 11 p.m.,and I'm like, I'm just gonna film it now.Oh, I needed this.Sometimes I plan a video for a few weeksand I have to, like, shop for a few thingsor, like, write down, like,a layout about how I'mgonna do it.But, that's pretty rare, and even then,it's still very spontaneous.That's why I think my entireYouTube career has just been megoing with it and notreally strategizing anythingwhich some people have judgedme for in this community.But, it's what works for me, so whatever.One of my favorite beautyrelated, if you will, videosthat I've ever made was mepreparing for Coachella.It's Coachella season, baby.I love Coachella.I love to talk about itevery opportunity I get.I don't know why, but I'm kindof embarrassed about how muchI care about it.But, at least I'm, like, self awareand I know that it's stupidthat I care this much about itso it's, like, fine, right?And, there is a lot of prepthat goes into Coachellaand last year I did abunch of weird stuff.Okay, I have no idea what colorI'm getting my nails done.It's just a lot on my plate right now.It's kind of pathetic, andthat's why I like to share it.So, obviously Coachellawas canceled this year.Very sad, but it had to be done.But I love making YouTubecontent around Coachellabecause I just think it's so funand also because I like to watch it.And this year there's noCoachella videos for me to watchand that made me sad.So, I got the idea.I was like I'm gonnamake Coachella at home.Right now would've beenday three of Coachella.Why not throw my own littleCoachella at my house?It's gonna be kind of stupid.This is Homechella, and Ican kind of wear whateverI want because nobody's gonna see it.But, that's exactly whyit's gonna be great.Coachella's amazing!I think the way to createcontent during this time isnumber one, to be honest,but also not to be negative.I'm gonna be showing you allof the outfits I'd be wearingif I was not stuck at home.Roll the clip!There's so many negativeemotions going around right nowand I don't wanna add to that.But, I also don't wanna ignoreit because it's somethingthat we're all dealing with.Thinking of you all andpraying for you all, always,but especially right now.I just think that beingpositive and making the mostof every single situation in lifeis the only way to get through somethingso that's what I'mtrying to put out there.I would hope it's alittle bit helpful, maybe,and if not, I'll just keep on trying.I feel like the people that maybe connectand can relate to me themost are girls my agejust because we have a lot in common.Being a teenager is reallymentally tough in generalI'm not too obsessivewhen it comes to commentsunless it's like extremelyextremely positiveor extremely extremely negative.Let's just see what we have here.Jesus, she's annoying.Okay.I try my best to look pastthese and only pay attentionto the nice onesand those ones reallypull at my heart strings.So, I don't really readmuch of my commentsjust because it can be really toxic for meand take me away from what really matterswhich is just making content that I enjoyand having fun with it.And I always get really good responsesfrom my cooking videos.All I really know howto do right now is cookbecause there's not alot of other activitiesto participate in, so we're cooking again!I like to film cooking videos,but I always feel likethey might be boring.You don't need to makesomething super complicated.Like, just make something that's funbut in healthy and good for youand, or maybe not.I don't know.But, you know, sometimesit's good to be --I don't care, just cook something.I'm not giving a tutorial.I'm just hanging out with the cameraand I love that, but I alwayssike myself out about that.Why can I not cook?'Cause I'm like, do peoplewanna hang out with me?And then, sometimes people do.That feels really great,and sometimes people don't.That's cool, too.I film everything myself.I do not edit by myself anymore, though.I have found an editor.He's amazing.His name is Anderson.I think that he capturesa different side of methat I wasn't able to do myself.I think I didn't evenrealize how much work it isto do every element of aproduction: filming, editing,being the personality on camera.Doing all of that, it'snot sustainable mentallybecause you can't continueto do that forever.On a day that I'm filming,I could be in the processof filming anywherebetween two and six hours.Sometimes multiple days, but,like, I have usually, like,an hour of footage just 'causeI don't like to over film.I only like to turn on thecamera when it's necessary.It's hard for me to know howsimilar my real personalityis to my on camera personalitybut according to everybody I've ever met,says I'm exactly the same.I would like to think that's true.I'm not gonna make aconscious effort to change mypersonality for the camera.That's not always been thecase, but for the past, prolly,two years, it's been that way.Okay, a lot of people miss the old me.I feel like I like myself betternow because I'm more myselfthan I've ever been.What you see is what you get.When it comes to creatingcontent for other platforms,I wing it.Like, TikTok is random.Twitter is random.I just have fun with it.I like taking Instagram photosbecause I like wearing fun outfits.Express myself with my fashionor just, like, post random shit.Like, those otherplatforms, it's more, like,of a fun activity than itis, like, anything else.I usually like to workout in the evenings.I don't wanna do this!Normally, I do cycling classesbut 'cause we're locked at home, I can't.So, recently, what I've beendoing is I will do jump rope.Watch my tricks!Ooh!I'm trying to be, like, efficient.Like, I don't like to waste any timeunless I'm playing Fortnite.Then, I am, in fact, wasting timebut that was also planned!You know what I mean?As long as I get everything done.I am a huge advocate ofusing a planner, though.Everything is written in my plannerso there is, like, anelement of organization.But, when it comes to an actual routine,I don't got it.I've never analyzed my day like thisand now it's making methink I'm psychotic.'Cause I'm like, why doI live the way that I do?I don't know why thisinterview is giving me allthese shower thoughts for later.Okay, guys, I am finallydone recording my video.It is now 11:30.Sometimes this happens.The day will get away from me.We need to start the nighttime routine.So, I'm gonna take a shower tonight.I like to get my makeupcompletely off before I getinto the shower just because --so that I can even get a better cleanwhen I'm in the shower.I use different makeupwipes literally every week.It just depends on whatI'm feeling that daybut recently I've beenusing the Simple ones.Okay, so, once I get mostof my face makeup off,I feel like it's astruggle to get my eyes offso I have an eye makeupremover that I specificallyuse for my eyeballs.Neutrogena oil free eye makeup remover.My mom has used this since I was youngerand when I got older andneeded an eye makeup remover,this was in my house.And, it's amazing.So.Now that all my makeupis off, it's time to getinto the shower!I love showering before bed.It's a nice treat.I love getting intobed feeling super cleanand, like, having my hair wet.I weirdly like to sleep with my hair wet.Feels nice, although I don'twash my hair every nightbecause I dye the underneathpart of my hair blondeand I don't wanna bestripping it of its oilsevery single day.So, I use this.When it comes to hair, Idon't really do much to it.I mean, dry shampoo.I use the Dry Bar dry shampoo.It's great.I use Function of Beauty'sshampoo and conditionerbut right now I'm using onecalled, like, I have no idea.It's Sweedish.I like the Function of Beauty Hair Serum.Put that on after the shower,brush it with a Wet Brush, done.I really, really don't do much to my hair.I can't curl my hair,so I don't ever curl it.But, I will straighten it occasionallybut I like it air dried andkind of just tossled around.And now it's time to shower.Obviously I'm wearing clothes right now.Those will be coming off inthe shower, very obviously.Oh.Okay, see you in a sec.I definitely know and am awareof my responsibility to besending out the right messages.All you can do is be agood person in real lifeand be a good person on cameraand I do believe that ifyou're doing your best to bea good person, like, there'sa lot that can be avoidedthrough that.A lot.I'm not saying everything,but I'm just saying a lotcan be avoided from trulyliving a life where you'rebeing a good person.Because I think that somepeople aren't being honestabout that, and I wouldreally hope that I am.I'm doing my absolute best to do that.Oh my --We have a visitor!He literally just proppedup in the most perfect way!This was literally his little sign to me.Okay, I'm about of the shower.Now it's time for skincare.So, I washed my face in theshower with the same face washthat I did earlier, which is this one,and then I put on the same faceoil that I did this morning.I'm a creature of habit if you can't tell.Rub this all overand then I use this Kiehl'sCreamy Eye Treatmentunder my eyeballs.Just a little bit.And then I brush my teeth,and then I go to bed.Throughout the day, I'mthinking or working, or thinkingsome more, even in my dreams.Sometimes I'll dream about somethingand I'll literally wake up and be likeoh that's a great idea!The last few nights I'vebeen doing really good.Going to sleep at midnight.The other night I went to bed at 11:30.I was actually worried about myself.I was like, that is so abnormal.Are you okay?You know?But last night I went to bed at three.So, it just depends.It depends on how much coffee I drinkand there's just no predicting it.It's just one big organized mess.All right, guys, that was my day.I'm exhausted, so I need to go to sleep.But, thank you all for watching.Thank you all for comingalong on this journey with me,and thank you, Allure, for having me.And, that's all she wrote!Goodbye, everyone!Good night!
