I just wanted to provide a few announcements. I would have just posted them here and left it at that but I know many of my followers only follow YouTube and may not see this post.
That being said, I'll not only do a video, but talk more in depth on my blog.
ANNOUNCEMENT #1
I've joined Twitter!
I am officially obsessed with it. I'm on it more than I am on Facebook and Instagram. If you'd like to follow me, the link is on the side-bar to the right, or you can search for me @brainstobeauty.
I would have done my full screen name to keep consistency, but the Twitter handles are limited to 15 characters.
ANNOUNCEMENT #2
I got a new camcorder!!
If you have already started following me on Twitter (or Facebook), you know I was at Best Buy this weekend with my hubby looking for an all-purpose camcorder. For nails, I was using our Sony Cybershot, for hair I was using our Canon PowerShot and for face-to-face videos, I was using my Samsung Android phone. Although it worked, all of them had their downfalls.... autofocusing, scratchy noises, poor audio, weird color correcting, and low-quality. I wanted to get something I could use for everything, and we did. We got the Canon Vixia hf r300. There are a lot of negative reviews regarding the battery, but as for everything else, it got amazing reviews on quality to include audio, video, formatting, outdoor, indoor, low-light, you name it!
As far as the battery, I film at home, and on our new tripod (no more stacked boxes), that I don't need to film with the battery. We can just keep it plugged into the wall and never have to worry about it. If we choose to start vlogging and travelling, we'll buy a new extended battery, which is not a big deal.
I look forward to making videos with the new camcorder and I hope you guys enjoy and start seeing more consistency with my videos.
ANNOUNCEMENT #3
New Video Schedule
So, if you 've been following me on YouTube, you know I have been randomly posting new videos as new ideas come along. Although I've been loving it and get excitement out of sharing new stuff, it has left me with little free time! I have become addicted to filming and creating that I wasn't leaving time for anything else.
That being said, I need to dedicate time to other things outside of blogging and video making... to include my husband, family and friends.
I will now have a set schedule for posting! Rather than wondering when the next video will be posted, I am going to make an honest attempt to post 1 new video per week, every wednesday or thursday.
The only time I may have multiple videos in the same week, and not on a wed/thur, is when I get my monthly subscriptions, as I like to post those the same day I receive them.
Also, instead of doing two videos for the same subscription that month (e.g. MyGlam and Birchbox), I will only be doing videos on the unboxing/haul, and I will be posting my written reviews for the products on this blog.
If anything comes up and I won't be posting or if something is late, I'll let you know on Twitter and/or Facebook! Luckily the two accounts are linked, so if I post to one, it should show up on the other, in case you don't have both.
LAST NOTE!!
I'm not sure what you guys enjoying watching, but would love to hear any suggestions or recommendations on how to make my channel and blog better!
