Emily's Life Plan for the Week
October 10th, 2021
Welcome back to Emily’s Life Plan for the Week, a weekly newsletter where I share my personal notes and recap every little detail from my previous week’s videos (follow me on tiktok, youtube, instagram, and twitter @emilymariko)!
You can expect a new email in your inbox every Sunday at 6am PST! The posts will start with my weekly overview and get more and more specific as you scroll down. Anything underlined is a link. If you’re looking for something in particular, chances are it will be all the way at the bottom in the FAQ section!
This past week was a little different than usual - Matt and I got engaged!!! Thank you all so so much for the love and congratulations. I’ve never felt so happy and full, and I’ve basically been crying for 24 hours straight. Matt and I have been together for over 6 years, and he’s actually the one who nudged me to start creating content back in 2015 when we met. At that time I had posted a few YouTube videos years before in college, but had stopped since. He saw how much I loved documenting my life and watching other creators and has been my #1 fan ever since.
It’s insane how within the last month, everything has felt like it’s fallen into place. Everything makes sense. I’m so full of love I could explode. Thank you all so much for finding me and joining along in the journey. How fun will this next year be!!! WE’RE GETTING MARRIED!!!
One last note - I hear you about including workouts, cleaning, and other routines into these weekly recaps. I’ll slowly start to incorporate more and more starting next week!
