Wedding Series: Part 3! And more!

Hi friends! I took a little hiatus, if you didn't notice. I went home for a solid month and spent lots of time with family. I got tons of wedding planning done and I "tried" to learn the new iMovie (still a work in progress!). I kept off the webs after my giveaway to have some much needed down time! I'm nearing the end of my 7th year in college so I am getting really burned out. Just know that if I am absent, that's probably the reason. ;)

I uploaded a new video today! I hope you guys enjoy it! I show how I made my save the dates and invitations and I also give some planning advice. Hope I don't bore you too much!

My next video is going to introduce a new series on my channel! Make sure you're subscribed so you know when that will be uploaded! I filmed it today and I am super excited about it! :)

Thanks so much for watching! Sending lots of love and light!

Update for Here's the Deal

Hi everyone! I apologize for being absent from my blog and YouTube. I mentioned previously on Facebook that my Nana has been very sick in the hospital for over a month. On August 31st, my family said goodbye to our wonderful Nana for the last time. It's been a hard week on us, but we're all comforted to know that she is in a better place and is finally without pain. 

I want to thank you for being patient and supportive of me during this absence. My schedule has been rather difficult. I just started up fall semester at school and I am currently working 2 "real" jobs outside of YouTube. Having time for videos hasn't been easy, let me tell you! 

Despite all that, I have many videos planned and intend to continue with filming and editing. My videos may be randomly uploaded, so please make sure you've subscribed to my channel to make sure you get notified ASAP! :) Click here to subscribe!

I also want to personally thank all those who have recently subscribed to my channel since watching my appearance on The Schuerman Show. I now have 448 subscribers! Holy cow! Thank you! If you didn't get the chance to see it, Sam went with my mom and I to shop for my wedding dress. We had loads of fun! To watch the video (and see lots of wedding dresses!) watch the video below!

Thanks for all the kind words, virtual hugs, and love. As always, sending you lots of love and light!

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! :)
