This might sound kinda lame but I like to watch Emmy's videos when I'm feeling sad/depressed because they always seem to make me smile despite myself. The ending of this video is probably the perfect example of that feeling. 😁 Sometimes it's nice to just watch a bright positive person in fun wholesome videos.
That is not lame at all, I do the same. I have clinical depression and she helps so much. I think it’s because she has such a positive outlook to life, and she’s so goofy🤍
I used to work in a factory where we made small glass vials for things like perfume samples and cosmetics. One of the most essential tools that nearly everyone there used constantly was a large pair of tweezers, almost exactly like what Emmy shows in this video. I became so accustomed to reaching for them whenever I needed to pick up or manipulate something small that I missed having them, even when I was not at work. They are way more useful than you might think at first glance!
I’m so used to seeing Emmy try foods, my brain just expected her to say “Itadakimasu!” and take a big bite out of that plastic frog thing and now I can’t stop laughing 😭😭😭
Emmy just made me realize how simple it is to have fun, the smile on her to face when she got the bubble froge to work I could feel how elated she was.
Reusable towels have been around for yrs!!!! They call them Handi-wipes. Most stores carry them.That bubble maker would be awesome for pets who like to chase bubbles!!
Helpful tip: Used cooking oil is compostable! You can soak it up with paper towels and throw them into a compost bin/pail. You can also pour the cooled oil into a non-paper compost bag, and compost the whole bag like normal. If you have a compost bin/a compost system in your city, it's an easy way to deal with it. Alternatively, if you have a compost pile, you can pour cooled, used oil right over it and toss like normal. Great video Emmy!
Only one downside to putting cooking oil in compost pile. It brings in raccoons and opossums and even neighbors dogs/cats. They will dig through do bury it deep at first
Emmy, last year I started making my daughter very basic bento boxes to get her eat her lunch and this year I started making her actual cute bentos because I work long hours and don't get to see her much. I found it very therapeutic instead of taxing and now she has become her classmates envy. I wanted to show her in a tangible way how much I love her during each day and she is always grateful! I love the little hot dog tool and am always on the lookout for new bento gadgets!
The mouse picks for the sausage stamper are for skewering the end of the hot dog and putting it in your bento to make picking up the sausage easier and to make it look cute for your bento its usually used for kid bento lunches so they can pick it up easier. The hot dog stamper is made for bento boxes. Lots of people decorate their food to make the bentos look cute. They make seaweed stampers onigiri molds so you can shape them into cute animals etc.
its videos like this that make me really grateful of being able to enjoy the simple pleasures of life and count my blessings. Sometimes i wish everyone in the planet can experience this level of comfort, safety and general well-being as opposed to poverty-stricken individuals who worry everyday about a roof over their head or their next meal. truly blessed we are.
Thanks for the tsuyu recommendation - I can’t remember which video you mentioned it in, but I tried it in place of regular soy sauce in my stirfry and it tastes SO much better! And definitely better with sushi too!
Never knew there's a part 2. Right after the 1st one, I immediately went to Daiso to check the shop nearby (I am a long time customer and checking stocks) and they don't have anything else new but bought almost the same bubbles toy that Emmy had. My niece and nephews loved it!
I just came back from visiting my friend in Winnipeg, Manitoba and she told me they had a Japanese store. It was a giant $1 store! (Well, $3 Canadian store. Hehe) I had so much fun browsing the aisles looking at all the adorable and quirky items!
The long-lasting reusable towels I have, modeled on the Swedish ones, are thicker and made from cellulose. I rinse them and dry them on a rack. They can be machine washed too.
A restaurant up the street from me was dumping its used oil down the pipes to save money on the disposal costs, and our street got sewage backed up into our basements from the blockages that resulted. They got into real trouble for it. Never dump fat down the drain.
My grandmother used to use diatomaceous earth as a dentifrice/toothpaste. Her teeth had been badly discolored by early forms of antibiotic medicine and she felt the more abrasive nature of the "earth" powder would help her teeth look less yellowed.
Emmy, all of this. I freaking love these videos. The absolute joy you experience is one thousand percent contagious. Please, please, more. I absolutely love all of your content but these little dollar store hauls are my favorite. I miss fruity fruits too, but I'll take this in its place. Thank you so, so much for your continued joyous content, you're the absolute best. 🧡
I live in Honolulu and I bought one of those soy sauce sprayers at the Daiso to use for leave in conditioner. Works great and travels well. I also work in a vet office and we have that lil butter knife to scoop cat food. It's perfect for the lil cans. I had no idea it was supposed to be a butter knife.
Oh my goodness, Emmy, where did you get your cute, chubby little salt cellar?! I’m actually looking for one atm but I tend to be picky and want it to match my kitchen theme. If you could help, I’d appreciate it so much! And I love how happy you are that Bubbles McFroggam ended up working! 😄
The creaky door noise you added when you made the dumpling was great. 😆 Really like the idea of a spray bottle for soya sauce, i'm so clumsy i often put too much on a plate of food. The egg cooker thing & sausage stamper are more trouble than they're worth. My POV on kitchen gadgets is that they have to do something essential or be multipurpose. Otherwise, they're just one more thing to clean & find room for. When i saw diatomaceous earth spoons in the description, i was so confused. Kept thinking, 'for real, for eating, really?'. The joyful & excited experience you so often have in your videos is contagious & heartwarming. The thrill you had with the bubble machine embodies one of my favourite quotes, 'the true sign of maturity, is knowing how & when to act childish'. Thanks muchly for sharing & spreading joy. 💜☮️ Oh yeah, & thanks SOOOOO much for letting me know i can get Daiso online. (we need a sarcasm emoji) There goes my budget. 🤣😭
The first one looks exactly like an empanada press! You should try to make them! My favorites are pineapple. In my family we make the dough with AP flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and salt. And the filling is just a thick clumpy fruit jam. Fill, press, egg / milk wash, and bake. Soooo good!
For the low fat egg maker, I would recommend using a squeeze bottle to get the water in that narrow circle. The small tip would be perfect for precision placement for the water.
I used to work at a restaurant that had similar reusable paper towels. They really do work well- I could usually make one last through my entire shift, and then we'd throw them out at the end of the night. But as a home cook, I think I prefer just using dish towels.
I run a not-for-profit org that supports people with disabilities. Most of our clients survive on super tiny budgets. We hold workshops about stretching one's dollar. Last week we did a workshop on emergency preparedness on a limited budget. It's amazing how many useful items can be found at Daiso, Dollar tr, and the dollar section of Target.
I don't comment often, but I do watch every video you put out. I have to say you were adorable in this one. I love how you get joy from the small things. You totally made me smile and gave me warm fuzzys.
I've been watching video shorts of peopleccooking ANF turning their food with what looked like large tweezers. I've been wanting to know what they were because I want one. So glad you mentioned these.
I love that soy sauce sprayer.. need that haha. I wonder if cooking oil works in it as well or like oil for salad dressing. I wonder if the butter knife is better if the butter isnt right out of the fridge.. like if its room temp it would be easier? Happy Holidays.
An interesting detail is, those Daiso things I see on the video got labels also in Portuguese There's a Daiso shop near here and it's always busy and crowded 😄
I love Diaso! I've gotten beautiful origami paper and yarn from there as well as kids craft supplies that were better quality than Dollar general. I've also gotten Christmas decorations that were better quality than the dollar general. I don't mind paying that little bit more because everything is still within my price range.
Maybe have to use a turkey baster or syringe to get that there water in that diet egg cooker ring.🤣🤣🤣🥚🍳 Great vid. I love this stuff! Thanks Emmy🙏👩🏻🍳🦃🤭 Love that Guditamo thing or whatever the egg is called. Dumb. I should know. I have stickers and little boxes and stuff all over this house from Marimokko. All kinds of little things I got. Tea bag holders and dip cups lol. Very cute. Hoping I will have great grandkids soon...got 3 chances lol!🇯🇵🇺🇲 OMG Emmy! Recycled diapers for your fry pans!😈 Oh boy do I need those humidity controlling gadgets! You know they make a shower mat out of those little guys AND a dish drying màt. I really want some. Not cheap tho.😒
The frog is super cute 🐸 Some fun &/or useful things, but the oil sponges? Why are they better than paper towel to mop up a surface? For oily liquids (like soup), dip in an ice cube (or spoon from the freezer). Reusable paper towels? Why? Rags (from cloth items that have breathed their last) are free & Earth-friendly. (Btw, diatomaceous earth powder is awesome for chemical-free gardening!) 💚
Diatomaceous earth in powder form is perfect to keep crawly bugs out of your house - just sprinkle a thin line of diatomaceous earth in front of doors, windows, vents etc. If you have pets or children, make sure it's FOOD GRADE diatomaceous earth. Amazing all natural stuff.
To paraphrase something my late youngest sister said, (she was like 5 yo, my aunt was up visiting. She brought out an old time sanitary pad) "Momma, why are you using that funny diaper in your pan!?! (Originally, it was " Momma, look at this funny diaper! - Thankfully, it was unused, lol)
Hi Emmy, I use the diatomaceous earth driers. They get wet pretty quickly. Rinse the salt off and microwave for 10 seconds at 500W, let evaporate, repeat till it's dry. It will burn if you do it more.😊
I'd love to see more of these with bubble makers. The sheer joy on Emmy's face can't be denied - AND she can use the washable paper towels to clean up the bubble solution on the counter afterwards! Love it!
Part 2 was just as good as part 1. I love all the different gadgets Daiso comes out with. Most of them are just so cute and practical. I gotta find me one out here 😁💕
I went to Daiso today and saw the Diatomaceous products. I was sure what they did and came back to finish watching your video for more information. Thanks!
I suppose the oil absorbing pads have a different filling compared to a maxi pad? I'm now imagining someone getting out a package of Kotex when they have spilled oil!
What yourself done did? Had worth every Dollar of my time… Seems like you’re an Easygoing person sometimes & there isn’t nothing wrong with that. (Nevertheless, me Mr. Amos).
I think pouring your oil into a jar for disposal is more environmentally friendly than the oil absorbing pad, The pad and its packaging add to the landfill. Recycling an empty container/jar is less trash.
15:18 "So if we rip one..." Play that part with your eyes closed and the sound of the paper tearing is hilarious. Especially if you know the slang meaning of "rip one".
jsyk viewers only Americans can order from Daiso usa and have it shipped. I tried when I got home in Canada from being in the US for a Month. Tho its only for the 48 Continentail states no AK or Hawaii service sadly.
Hey Emmy. WOW! You made my day. I love the bubbles at the end of the video. I also love it, when your face lights up when the bubbles blew out of the machine. God Bless and have fun. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
