Colors of the Rainbow!

Hey everyone! I'm back with another blog post/video for you this week! Something really cool happened in my life. At the beginning of the month, I attended Generation Beauty, and while meandering through the booths, I ran into SecretLifeOfABioNerd (also known as K.L.). Of course I told her that I love her videos, and her sweet little heart subscribed to my channel! I felt super duper awesome pretty much all day because of that. Well, a couple weeks ago, she tagged me in her Colors of the Rainbow tag! How freaking stoked am I?! Here's my version of colorful rainbow goodness:

If you guys don't know about K.L.'s YouTube channel, then you really should. She does lots of DIY stuff (my personal favorite is the makeup brush cleaner!). Please subscribe and tell her that I sent you! :)

Now for Honey Life News:

For about 2 months, I was on the job hunt. And let me tell you, job hunting is hard! Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I have pretty good references, qualifications, and experience and it was NOT easy finding a job! Anywho, I finally found one a couple weeks ago (thank gooooooodness!) and I will be working a lot more. I also start summer school on July 8th for 6 weeks, so my videos may be published a little less often. Just wanted to give you guys a heads-up! I post on Instagram, like, way too much, so if you want to get more daily doses of my nerdiness, find me with the username: honey_lea.

Thanks so much for reading/watching! You guys rock!

Update & GenBeauty!

Hi virtual friends! I wanted to take a moment and explain what has been going on and why you haven't seen any new videos up in the last few weeks. Well, its a frustrating tale to tell! I currently have several videos shot and awaiting editing. For all my videos, I have been using an older version of Windows Live Movie Maker to edit. This version was too simple and I wanted to try and get some snazzy editing stuff. So I updated Movie Maker and while I prefer its new options, it won't let me import my footage because it can't read the format. So, I tried several converters, only to have my footage turn all wonky. Then I tried new editing software and then my computer overheated and shut off without saving my work (which happened to be an hour long video cut down to under 20 mins!). So that brings me to today. Honey 0, technology 3. 

I am working on upgrading my camera to an HD cam, but I just lost my "real" job and have been on the hunt for the past month and a half without luck. If I can save up enough money, I will invest in a new camera and top-notch editing software! Maybe if I get more viewers, that might be possible! :)

In good news, I will be attending the Generation Beauty event this Saturday and Sunday and I am SO excited to meet my favorite YouTubers (see www.genbeauty.com)! I don't have anyone to go with, so I sure hope I can meet some friends along the way! This week, I was also lucky enough to catch up with my friend, Sam, and her lovely family and show her around my neck of the woods. I hadn't seen Phoenix since he was only a few months old! (Sam posts a daily vlog on YouTube, and she's such a joy to watch! You can find the link to the day we got to visit here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmf_ojSDJWU).

P.S. I also finished my first year at my new school with a 4.0! :)
