The Weekly List: Emma's Autumn Pleasures
Every week, our founder Emma Unckel shares the things currently on her radar.
This week's list comes from when Emma joined Emilia de Poret on the podcast In Bed with Emilia. She shares four autumn pleasures that bring her out of her head and back into her body, from soft loungewear and evening rituals to dressing up and dancing for hours. Listen to the episode here (linked).

1. Stylish loungewear and sleeping naked, Soft lounge sleep set, SKIMS.
I just want to feel completely free.
The first thing I do when I get home is change into something soft. I love beautiful, comfortable loungewear, especially from Skims. Traditionally sexy lingerie, however, can easily make me feel as though I am dressed up as someone else. I actually feel much sexier naked.
I always sleep naked. Partly because it feels sexy, but mostly because I am incredibly sensitive to anything twisting, itching or digging into my skin. I just want to feel completely free.
2. The evening shower, Elemis Frangipani Monoi Body Oil.
It is my way of washing off the day and beginning again.
I am very much an evening-shower person. For me, it is about rinsing away the day's stress, impressions and general grime, then starting again.
I finish by applying Elemis Frangipani Monoi Body Oil while my skin is still damp. It is such a simple ritual, but the warm scent and silky oil instantly make me feel cared for, present and more connected to my body.
3. Getting properly dressed up, Color Riche lipstick, Tender Rose, L'oreal Paris.
The entire ritual changes my energy.
I almost always feel my sexiest when I am dressed up and have really taken the time to get ready. The clothes, hair, makeup and fragrance all do something to my energy.
I still love making an effort for Nils. Not because he expects it, but because I like that we continue to make an effort for each other.
I also much prefer going out together with Nils than without him. I adore my female friends, but I have never understood why every social occasion needs to be divided into girls' and boys' dinners. To me, a mix of women and men almost always makes the evening more fun and dynamic.
4. Dancing until I forget myself- in comfy heels, SANIA D'MINA, Carla7, Purple Satin.
"Dancing is one of the purest forms of pleasure I know."
I feel incredibly alive when I dance. The other night, I danced nonstop for several hours and realised that it is one of the purest forms of pleasure for me.
It is that moment when you stop thinking about how you look and simply exist in your body. Possibly with a little help from a couple of tequila shots.
Looking at my list, I realise that pleasure, for me, is often about getting out of my head and back into my body, through soft clothes, nakedness, warm water, body oil, dressing up or dancing until I lose track of time. My dancing partner: heels!
