branding logo

Hello!

I have been busy with youtube videos and re designing my beauty blog. I wanted something simple, but eye catching at the same time. I wanted a brand logo and this is what I came up with. I am in love with this logo, I wanted a circle, I feel circles are very welcoming shapes. I also added my moto and repeated it around the logo itself, with my T, M and S in the center. I added the established mark and year, over all I love it. I still kept my black and white, but found a soft pink number #ffcccc that I am in love with for a pop of color.

So what do you think?

This is the banner as a whole. I had to add the stripes because Blogger would not center it and it looked bad in a corner all alone.

I am in love!! If you need or want a tutorial on how I made this just let me know down below :)

I have been missing out!

Hello, beautiful!

I was looking through my twitter the other day and I noticed that I have been missing a lot of what's been going on with my friends and their blogs and I noticed that I have been missing out!

I have to admit, I haven't been posting as much as I would like. I have been putting a lot of effort into my YouTube channel trying to establish some growth there.  I have not gone blogging in a while and I am going to try to get some time and visit my favorites!

I made some changes to the blog, I made all the images myself. If you would like a tutorial on banner and button  making let me know and I will get on out as soon as I can.

Video Editing Software

Investing in video software is something every YouTuber should do. Even if you have a so-so camera the software can add great quality and effects to any video giving it a polished look. If you follow me on YouTube you will see that my last set of videos have greatly improved.Yes I did get a better camera for filming, but with the software I really see a big difference in my videos.

Video Editing Software 

Wondershare Video Editor. 

A easy to use software and has a very simple layout, everything is easy to find and can ad some nice effects to your videos, but if you want to get really specific with your effects I found this to be difficult and it crashes a lot. Any good video editor will come with a crash reload, where if your system or the software crashes it will reload your last project. Unfortunately this happened to often for me with this software. I did pay for this after a trial period, but after the trial it went wonky on me.
Free Trial  http://download.wondershare.net/video-editor_full1107.exe

Videopad.

Is a editor that gives you the intricacy of a high end video editor, but nothing is really easy with this software, in fact its too intricate and you find yourself constantly going to the web for tutorials on how to do simple tasks. it is a good software, but it wasn't giving me the ability to do what I wanted with text and animations.

I did pay for this software, but found myself having to use another software for animations and edit the rest of my videos with this software, not something I liked doing with a product I paid for.

Free Trial http://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/vpsetup.exe

Serif Video Plus.

Is a video editing software that was very good to me during the trial period. I was limited with the things I could do with the trial, but over all it helped me with the things I could not do with VideoPad. I was really loving this software and wanted to purchase it, but what caused me to stay away was the fact that there isn't much online about this software in regards to tutorials and how to's just in case I got stuck. So I just use it the trial to create short intros.

Sony Vegas Pro 12.

Now, This is a software that has everything and video editor should be. Yes there is a big price tag on it, but once you use it in trial mode you are instantly hooked. Their are a bazillion how to videos all over the net in case you get stuck. You will have to know something about editing before jumping into this bad boy, but after a few videos you get it down and it becomes very easy to use. I like the fact that you don't have to use a separate software to create a video thumbnail with text for YouTube, with a few clicks you can get a beautiful thumbnail with text. All the elements available in this software give you a side by side comparison to see a before and after as you edit and for me this is perfect.

Free Trial http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/download/trials/vegaspro

Your video editing software should be easy to use and have the ability to help you easily if you get stuck.

I do love my Sony Vegas Pro and I know I will be using for years to come.

Camera updates

Today I wanted to talk to you all about cameras. If you run a blog or vlog you will know that your camera helps represent your blog or channel. Your photos or videos help get the message across that you mean business and you take pride in what you do.

I recently went to bestbuy to see what they have to offer, I really wanted to get out of filming my videos  with a webcam. I wanted to step up my game a bit. so I found a camera that was pretty decent and a good price under 200 dollars, filmed in HD and had a viewfinder.

SAMSUNG HMX-F90

Get the Best Shots with a 52x Zoom
720p HD Video Recording
One-Touch Sharing Button Lets you Quickly Upload your Videos to YouTube

The Samsung HMX-F90 Is a lightweight camera films in 720p HD, has a viewfinder and is able to take snapshots. I talked to the salesman about the options, if it had a rechargeable battery, can I record while its charging, all the usual questions and I liked my options so I said yes to the camera and walked around the store while holding the box to my new camera.

As I was walking through the Aisles, I spotted the most beautiful thing I have even seen.
The SONY NEX-5T. OMG! This this was amazing, the only thing it didn't do was juliann fries.
It had more bells and whistles than I knew what to do with. So impulsively I took that instead, mind you I was not talked into the purchase my the salesman, but my 15 year old, who said we will always have it and since she is a photography nut it was worth it. I did pay over 600 bucks for it and was kicking myself in the ass on the way home, asking myself, why did I do that? Do I really need that much camera?

SONY NEX-5T

16.1MP APS-C sensor
Up to 10 fps shooting
Fast Hybrid AF with phase detection
Full HD movies at 60p/60i/24p
Built-in Wi-Fi® and NFC
180° tiltable touchscreen
Up to ISO 25600
E-mount 16-50mm lens


I brought it home and immediately began playing with it, I even instagrammed it trying to get some gratification for my purchase, but the truth is I only felt worse.

I made one video with it and discovered that I am not ready for that much camera. There were features on this camera I would never use or never need to use.

So I returned it and went for the original camera I went to look at. Yes it doesn't do all those fancy things the other one did, but the price difference takes a lot of guilt off of me.

I do like the ease of the camera, the portability and the price.

DO you feel guilty after making a impulse buy? I know I do.
