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!

Mermaids and Makeup!

Hey everyone! So I have TWO special videos for you in today's post! First, I picked my "mermaids!" Not sure what the heck that means? See the video below:

The above video will be Part 1 of a new series on my YouTube channel about planning my wedding. It will include all my DIY projects, advice, and more! I have an extremely limited budget, as I am sure many other brides have, so I thought I would share my experiences with the world. :)

In regards to my second video, I convinced Joey to do my makeup for the first time EVER and let me film it! I thought it would be funny and a couple people on YouTube asked to see more of my sweet Joey. I laughed like a maniac the entire time we filmed (as you can tell) and it was even worse when I was trying to edit it. There was so much great footage! Anyway, I will post the video below. Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by! Please come check me out on these other sites:

First Vlog and a Surprise! :)

Hey everyone! I know I am posting this about a week late. I apologize for that!

Well, as most you may already know, my boyfriend Joey and I went on a mini-vacation to Catalina Island for the first time to celebrate our 6 year anniversary. While there, Joey proposed! And for those who may be wondering, NO! I did not have any idea that he was planning on doing that! I was very surprised!

I wanted to try out my first vlog and I thought that this opportunity was a great chance to introduce Joey to my viewers. I want to do a few more videos with him, and from the looks of the comments, people want to see more of him too! :)

To see how it all went down, check out my latest video! Stay tuned until the end for some pictures:

In other news, my summer school class is winding down and I have a tiny break between finals and the beginning of Fall semester (MY LAST YEAR AS AN UNDERGRAD!!!). I will be visiting my beautiful hometown in Lake Tahoe and plan on doing another little vlog loving for you guys, so don't worry! ;)

And, as requested, some delightful photos of my beautiful new accessory! It is a beautiful high-set round cut diamond in a platinum setting. You'll have to wait and see how beautiful the wedding band is!

Sending lots of love and light your way!

xoxo,

Honey Lea

P.S. Would you guys like to see a video or blog series on my wedding planning? Let me know in the comments!

Uh-Oh Products! :(

Hey guys! Honey here with another video for you this week! I hope you are all enjoying the heat of the summer and having some fun!

So when I originally started my YouTube channel, the phrase "here's the deal" wasn't always supposed to be so literal. I wanted to tell my viewers the good and the bad, basically like giving you guys the "low-down." So today, I bring you my very first video on what products I try to avoid (and maybe you should too?). As a little treat, I also included a few bloopers at the end (a bit of an inspiration from leighannsays here on the 'Tube). And for those wondering why I was listening to "Bippity Boppity Boop" then you have yet to learn my obsession with Disney. I was listening to the Disney station on Pandora while testing my lighting and autofocus. If you don't listen to the Disney station on Pandora, then you've been missing out in your life!

I hope you guys appreciate this video in some way! I know it can come off as kind of negative, but not everything us ladies try work out for us and I think YouTube is an awesome tool to give reviews (good AND bad!).

Thanks again so much for watching/reading/interacting on my page! Be sure you are subscribed to get the latest updates on my videos! And come find me everywhere else:

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!

Pair "Couple" App!

Hey everyone! I finally got the chance to film a video on my new *HD* camera! I am so in love with it! And I got it for such an incredible deal (another video to come...I just want to give it a good using before reviewing it!). What do you guys think?

So today, I am talking about the "Couple" or "Pair" app that is available for iPhone and Android operating systems (I don't think it's on the Windows app store...*sad face*). The best part is that it is FREE and it does not have pesky ads all over the interface of the app! Here's some photos I took on my iPhone:

As you can see, it has an excellent rating for iPhone users. I haven't heard of or found anything like it, so its definitely a great find! If you'd like to know more about the app, visit couple.me (the makers of the app).

And of course, for a detailed tour of the app, be sure to watch my newest YouTube video here:

Here's the Deal Thanks YOU!!!!!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I sure did! I attended Ipsy's Generation Beauty event at L.A. Live this past Saturday and Sunday. If you read my last blog post, I mentioned that I was going by myself and was nervous about it. Well, if there is one thing I can give advice for, it is to never let doing something by yourself deter you from doing it! I feel like I met so many new friends and had the chance to learn from such influential people! I am so glad I went! You can find a ton of photos on my Instagram (honey_lea) and my Facebook (www.facebook.com/honeylea88). Here's my latest video:

Something else that has made me feel so LOVED has been how many subscribers I now have! Last week, I had about 60 subscribers and as of 4:40pm on June 4, 2013 I have 185!!!! That is just insane!!! If you are one of those subscribers, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!! I am so grateful that you chose to watch my videos!!!

Stay tuned for more videos. I just purchased a snazzy new camera, so videos from now on will be in high definition. I am so excited to share some new things with you! And if you have ANY suggestions, please send them to my Facebook or YouTube so I can read them and respond!
