Emollient's Corner

Hey there! My name is Emily, and I don't know about you, but living through a global pandemic has kind of sucked. My days have seen a 48% increase in existential dread and general disillusionment, so I decided to take things into my own hands. On March 16, 2020, I created an Instagram account called @emilydoesthing in hopes of, well, doing things. Technically, we're always "doing things." The more nuanced goal of @emilydoesthing is to challenge myself to seek out new things to do to add meaning to my life--things that don't fall under the pre-approved lists I'm used to following to get into college or get a job or generally Do The Right Things. Through this account, I've discovered a love for cooking and baking, spending time and effort to create something I can share with and nourish my loved ones.
