Remember my first post of the year where I talked about my 5 goals for the month of January? One of them was to stay vlogging and upload content onto my YouTube channel and I am happy to announce that I have done that! Check out my first two videos of the year where I talk about 20 random facts about myself and my NYC weekly vlog and be sure to subscribe to my channel here.
I am an avid YouTube watcher so itβs natural for me to always want to have my own channel. For those of you who donβt know, my best friend Rochelle and I actually created a channel in 2016 but we had to stop for personal reasons and schedule conflicts. After recording and editing, I must say I had moments where I started to question whether I should continue or even upload. Itβs definitely a scary thing to showcase your personality and life online. Itβs also different from Instagram and my blog since both platforms are a bit more curated and filtered.
I have also learned that YouTube is a challenging job! I have spent hours and days editing the videos because I have become picky with how I look and sound. Vlogging for a week has also made me more aware of my mannerisms and the fact that I say βUmsβ a lot! But I have also learned to give myself a break and accept myself for who I am because I shouldnβt try to change that for anyone. I am taking a risk and going out of my comfort zone to do this since this was a goal of mine. Sure, my edits arenβt amazing and my content might be boring to some, but this is all a learning experience. I didnβt want to wait until Iβm ready because weβre never really ready. Itβs a work in progress and I would love to just look back at where Iβve started and look forward to my growth.
With that all being said, please subscribe and like my videos as this will be a great way to get my channel started. I have more content in the works, so stay tuned for more videos! If you have a YouTube channel, leave it below so I can check it out and support you as well!

Thank you Gemma!
That is wonderful Mariann! I just subscribed! I have always wanted to start a Youtube channel but I have been scared to talk to the camera. You’re totally inspiring me to start my own, so I will for sure let you know when my first video is up, maybe you can give me a few tips.

It’s definitely a lot of work, but I have found joy doing it, which is why I will continue to film and edit!
Great job with these 2 new videos!! I always applaud Youtubers because I can’t imagine how much time must be spent in editing the videos, on top of filming them. It’s so cool to see your giggly personality on video π Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you Samantha! Editing is a lot of work! But I found myself enjoying it and it’s great to go back and watch them as they’re definitely memories!

I definitely am making it a priority! Sticking with them is difficult but if you are disclined enough, itβs totally doable!
Yes definitely focus on simply getting it out there!!! Love it!!!
