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.

Manomai Around the Clock Facial Serum

Hello, Beautiful!

If you follow me anywhere you will know that I got a new camera and I am in love! It does amazing things, I will share all the details about it on interwebschic.com.

Now, I have another item I am in love with and it also does amazing things!
I am officially addicted to Serums! I love them and the benefits are so much greater then that of a normal moisturizer. The are able to go deeper and work harder to moisturize and deal with imperfections we are all trying to hard to get rid of, fine lines, large pores, scares and wrinkles. I love applying a good serum especially at night, because that's when my skin does it most powerful work to rejuvenate itself. Now there are a whole boatload of serums out there in this great big world, but there is only one that is tailor made just for you!

How can this be? One word Manomai. Try saying that three times fast!


Manomai have created an innovative range of moisturizing face creams exclusively formulated to work in harmony with your blood group. Your skin is the largest organ in the body, providing a natural barrier against the outside world. Manomai moisturizers contain only the highest-quality active ingredients, specifically blended to gently boost your skin’s defences and restore your natural genetic rhythm. Manomai bring an entirely new approach to natural skincare.

This serum is created based on the skin type of each blood group

Now, when the company first approached me to review this product I will admit I was a bit freaked out, I mean they wanted to know my blood type?! If I hadn't gone through issues with my last pregnancy I would not have known how to answer lol!

I received the product about a week ago, now I do like to review all my products at least two weeks before I give a review, but this couldn't wait! This stuff is a miracle in a jar.
My kids noticed it first after two days and said my skin looked better, they know I have been battling skin issues for a while, then my husband said something, then the ultimate test! My sister mentioned my skin while we were face timing and she remarked how she noticed my skin looked brighter and more soft.

I have large pores you can fit a family and their mini van inside one pore! I said you guys are all nuts, what ever drugs your taking I want some too! So I went to the mirror and I am not going to claim they were gone, but you had to look for them now! They weren't at prominent as they used to be. I also read some of the facts that they have on the website about blood types and our bodies and they make a lot of sense.

The creator of the serum did not want to put anything harmful on her skin, not being able to find anything to suit her need, she made it herself!

The product looks like a milky liquid and applies watery. I apply this in a thin layer over my face and neck and allow my skin to absorb it day and night. There is practically no scent to this product which I love. the only thing I have a problem with is the dispenser.
I don't know if its the plastic or what, but it doesn't dispense the pea sized amount you are supposed to apply, so I just open it up like a jar and get what I need out.

The packaging itself is adorable and feels very luxurious with the frosted glass in its cute egg shape. When I received my package It was so beautiful I didn't want to open it, I tried to salvage the beautiful bow, but that never happens hehe :)

You really do feel the quality and the passion of the company behind this product.
This serum has become a daily staple in my routine in the short time I have owned it.

I recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a healthy alternative to skin care.

You can visit the Manomai website http://www.manomai.com/ and hear for yourself all the ways it can benefit your skin in a way that is tailor made to you.

SteamCream Review

How long should your YouTube video be?

YouTube has given us the ability to make longer videos and this is great for webinars, talkshows, news shows and the like, but why is everyone jumping on the 15 min and over bandwagon?

I am going to share with you the unspoken truth about how long a video should me and why.

How long should your YouTube video be.

There are two different categories we will be looking into the newbies and the vets. 

Vets. 

Are the YouTube stars, you know who they are because you watch them almost every other day and if you are watching them you obviously aren't a vet, yet anyway.

Newbies.

Are people like me who are trying to find a place or a corner in the YouTube world. We have less then 1,000 subbies and majority of our subbies are people looking for the same thing.

So lets talk about videos. 

A Vet makes a video and in the first hour it's on the popular page of YouTube, everybody and their mom has seen, like and commented on the video. Great everyone is happy. You know why? I'll tell you in a bit.

A Newbie makes a video uploads it and crickets start chewing at the cobwebs in your corner of YouTube, Why, I'll tell you later.

Editing.

The average Vet sets up and films for over an hour, edits the video for almost over 3 hours and uploads a 10 minuet video on a certain day.

The average Newbie records 20 some odd minuets of footage slaps a song on top, snips a few clips here and there and in 30 minutes they upload their 20 min video.

Did you catch that right there?

Right! Nobody wants to see a nobody do anything, do you? I know I don't. I mean I don't have twenty minuets to sit through the news some days, let alone watch someone do something on YouTube.

There is nothing wrong with a long video, but not right off the bat, straight out of the gate. People will start to say oh no, they uploaded another 20 plus min video, I really like this person but man 20 minuets, really?

You can upload a 20 plus minuet video once you gather a following and have a reason for it.

YouTube is like fishing you need to be patient, find the right bait, then reel them in. Once they are hooked they are hooked. Feed them small amounts, then go on to bigger things.

I have a list of what is average for a YouTube video length. Please understand that you have to sell your video in the first 30 seconds for anyone to sit through the rest of it.

Think movie trailer, the highlights of the film are put into a 1 min spot to make you buy the ticket to see it.

• If you are teaching something do it under 10 minuets.

• If your are reviewing something do it under 5 minuets.

• If you are doing a collection do it under 15 minuets.

• If you are just vlogging 5 minutes is enough.

Keep in mind these are newbie times, once you go vet add 5 - 10 minuets
depending on what you are filming about.

Do your research and see what the vets are doing and how long their videos are.

Do you think this is a good summation? If not please let me know :)

Google Analytics real time overview junkie

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share my newest addiction with you. Over the past few months I have gotten into a lot of SEO type stuff and I have learned to do some pretty nifty things to get my blog off the ground and I do share what I learn as I learn it with you, so that you can apply these things to your blog too!

Now onto this addiction! I have been watching my Google Analytics real time overview. Whew, did you get all that? Google analytics is a bit of code you get from google and you place it somewhere on your blog and its gives you your site stats.


Where you place this code is important as to how you want your page views to count. If you place it at the bottom of the page, then your readers will have to get towards the bottom of your page, if you place it near the top then just them opening the page counts as a view.

I personally placed my code at the bottom, I want to track real views and not fly by night page opens.

Google Analytics allows you to view your stats in real time.

This is a screenshot of what it looks like in live view, the info has been blanked out, but you get the idea.

How I like to do this is, I let my post go live, I visit my page, send it to buffer and visit my Google Analytics and watch how many people visit my page. Sometimes I get many visitors, sometimes none. It depends a lot on time of day and day of the week. I am so addicted I have to watch at least once a day.

Are you a Analytics junkie too? if you would like a tutorial on how to add Google Analytics to your blog please let me know :)
