I finally got myself a Neewer Ring Light to help with the lighting of my videos. This was one of my Christmas presents and I am finally using it on a regular basis. I did not like my original video so I filmed a new one. I have included clips from the original video within the new one. Watch my video for the full review where you will get to see just how bright the light gets. All I need to do now is learn manual camera settings to take my skills to a new level. … [Read more...]
My Ancestry DNA Results
I recently got the results of my Ancestry DNA test. I have always been intrigued by the videos on Youtube that I have watched for a long time of people sharing their genetic ethnicity breakdowns.

This is the second time that I have my hair crocheted and love the style. Crochet is technique which involves your own hair being canerowed down.
