Vlogmas 2018 Week 1: Adventures, Spoonie Stuff, and Target Trips | @ohjaechaos

Hello my dearest, most darling Dah’lings. I hope this first week of December finds you well and in some what of a holiday spirit. I’m trying something new (to me) this month and that’s daily vlogging… well, sort of. 

For most in and around the social media community, Vlogmas isn’t a new thing. Basically, it’s a daily vlog that one posts with bits of their daily life — but since I don’t really have a lot of spoons to spare – uploading daily vlogs are a bit of a stretch. To combat that I’m posting WEEKLY vlogs with snippets of each day rounded up into one video per week – ON SATURDAYS – for you guys. 

Since these weekly vlogs are a wrap-up of my week, they’ll probably been 20-25 minutes long… so grab a drink and a tasty snack and join me on my weekly adventures.

More of me. 

Now, like I’ve mentioned before in my blog post, my life really isn’t that glamorous so there’s a lot of IRL spoonie content that may happen. In a hope to be more transparent with you guys, I’m not going to edit out the bad days – because for me, the bad days/times/flares are just part of life and I hope you’ll join me for this adventure. 

Honestly, I am really nervous sharing this kind of content. I know most won’t want to watch what my life is REALLY like behind the makeup and social media. I figure that most folks won’t even stick through the whole 24 minutes of the video but I hope that some do. I want to be more … uh, me,  in a sense. There’s too much fake “OMG my life is perfect” crap going on on social media – especially in the beauty community. As someone who creates content AND is a full card carrying member of the chronic illness society – I want to be more genuine and help break down those silly pretenses… if that makes sense.

Since this is my first true “vlog” I hope that you bear with me. I know that as the month goes a long, my videos will get a lot smoother and I will (hopefully) be more comfortable in front of this not so flattering camera. Oh, and I’m going to be shooting most of the footage on my loverly little iPhone 7 as it is handy and I don’t have an official vlogging camera. The video quailty won’t be professional – or at least up to par with my other tutorials/reviews… so, umm… yeah. 

If you’d like to see parts of my day, specifically like cooking or crafting or BTS when I shoot for a makeup tutorial or how I shoot my product photography, let me know in the comments. I really rely on feedback when it comes to content like this – I’m in unknown territory and hopefully it turns out okay.  

I hope that through this, you guys get to know me a little better and I hope that through interacting with you all in the comments I get to know you a little better too.
