It's actually a really beautiful day in Florida. The sun in shining... I watered my plants. Checked on my baby palm trees AND smeared dirty on my face.... Check it all out in the video below.


What I learned today?

  • I need to look at my face BEFORE I record.

  • Even thought my videos have mistakes, they are more "real".

  • Long sleeve shirts do look nicer than gym tank tops when I'm inside. I think this is definitely a "still" photography but I do think it applies in video as well even though I personally prefer to wear tanks tops.



Homework

  • Before you record, that a look at your face. >>EVERY TIME<< I will be joining in on this piece of homework going forward.

  • Share a moment you learned from (yours or someone else's).

  • Watch 3 videos from other creators on Youtube. What did you like about their video? Is there someone that they do, that you could do?

Today should technically be Day 4 BUT yesterday I was kinda busy.


What you didn't see?

Did you know that I took 12 videos before I took this one? That happened! I told the "running out of gas" story a few different ways and this one was by far the best because I remembered all the little details. I was definitely more genuine in this take as well.


What did I learn today?

  • When you laugh, stumble on your words or do some weird hand gesture, I'd more real and you. Trying to be perfect doesn't really work for me.

  • It's ok to give yourself some grace. I didn't post day 3 on the "right" day but as long as I'm keeping with it - I'm ok with that.

  • I like natural lighting inside on a cloudy day.

Homework

  • Tell a story about something weird that happened to you or someone you know.

  • Talk about work or your business in a way that educates your audience.

  • Pick up the phone and call someone you know. Chat about your project.

New Hair Style

Today started off great. I styled my hair in a side braid to experiment with a different look for the camera. Then shot a quick video on the way to the Mall.


Day 2 Video 1



Picked up a few cute outfits while out and about then BAM...... I heard a song from my childhood and I seriously started to tear up. Why?


It kinda hurts ...to remember being a kids on a bike, riding to the corner story to buy Matt's Chocolate Chip Cookies and a Jolt with the money my grandma gave me the last time I saw her. She always slipped me 5 bucks. In her words.. "It's a little bit of pocket change". She knew my situation at home & knew I would use it wisely... on delicious treats. :) I really miss her.


I didn't have snacks at my house. Granola cereal or a cream cheese bagel were the junkiest foods you'd find.


Totally Upset << This happened.

So the music/memories hit me pretty hard AND a few tough things have happened over the last few months. My afternoon was just looking a little bleak.


I attempted to record some footage while being upset.

After recording myself over 20 times, I just stopped. It wasn't working so I messaged a friend. This is her jam so I knew she would understand. Watch the video below to find out what happened & hear her advice.


Day 2 Video 2



What did I learn on Day 2?

  • You are not going to be happy and ready for recording everyday.

  • If you're not happy = (1) Take a moment for yourself and do something else. (2) Reach out to a friend. (3) Delay the recording. (4) If this is something LIVE schedule for a certain time/day, give yourself some space before the big event. Tell your loved ones that you just can't chat about things before that.


Homework

  • When you have an off day or moment, try to record something. Try some of the techniques above and work through it.

  • Try a new hairstyle and have fun with your wardrobe. Find a style you love and one that represents you.


See you tomorrow!!!
