After some last minute planning - and a whole bag of nerves - I'm
pleased to say I've finally made my video debut! And I don't think the results are
half bad either. Along with bloggers Lucy, Kathryn, Gem + Lisa, I was invited to take part in the new student campaign for Voucher Codes and Unite Students. The idea behind VC Made A Home
was for each blogger to decorate a student flat with a budget of £100.
It could easily be done but if you actually want it look look nice and
feel relaxing this it's no mean feat.
We were up for the challenge and I think we all did brilliantly. Our are rooms really shows each blogger's personality and hopefully the advice has been helpful to any new students or folks sticking to a tight budget. I decided to stick to a relaxed colour scheme of yellows and greys, searched discount stores like Tiger Tiger good old Wilcos, and brought loads of little things from home, which helped to keep the budget down.
Like I said, I was pretty nervous but hopefully this has given me the confidence to give video blogging a go!
What do you think guys, how did we all do?!
Looks good man, not too much, just enough.

You did a great job! A natural on the ole video there! Great picks too, especially like that green calculator – very buckets indeed. Was it a good laugh making the video? Seemed very fun!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a good campaign, I really want a new room to decorate for myself now haha! I like your approach, comfort would definitely be the main thing for my room.
ReplyDeleteThis was great, you all had very good ideas!! And it seemed like you had fun!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like the friendliest dude on the block. I like your tips - bring stuff from home!! In my case I would do that and check out the skips - that's wear we once found an eames chair!
ReplyDeleteYou all did such an incredible job, I couldn't pick a favorite if I wanted to.
ReplyDeleteI adore interior design/decor videos, so these made my day! :)
That was a great video, and awesome design tips on decorating on a budget. I don't think I would have chosen yellow myself, but you've convinced me otherwise!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute!!!! I really liked your room...the yellow and gray go together swimmingly.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really good combo - looks so clean! We can always rely on Lucy for awesome, colourful things!
ReplyDeleteI caught this on the Voucher codes site and loved it! It's such a great feature and you come across really well on camera! Very well spoken and you didn't seem nervous at all - defo a great voiceover voice haha! I've started doing some more video stuff but I'm not brave enough to actually speak on camera just yet - maybe one day!
ReplyDeleteHope you do more video content soon!

Oh Jac, I think you're being very kind on me indeed. I'm not sure about the voiceover work but thank you know, I do appreicate it. It was a great experience for me, so hopefully this will give me the push to do another video at some point. I loved your video, maxium effort!
ReplyDeleteYour room was my favorite! Great taste. It was so neat to hear/see you more "in person."
ReplyDeleteAh thanks Kate. I was quite nervous as I'd not done anything like it before but hopefully next time I'll be going in with more confidence.
ReplyDeleteGood combo hey!
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie! I was quite hard doing it to be honest, never done it before and I was a bag of nerves but I did it!
ReplyDeleteAh cheers Jane, I said comfy way too much
ReplyDeleteIt was fun but pretty hard, I have much respect for any Youtubers
ReplyDeleteDo I? Bring stuff from home for sure, makes it just like you want it. Is that the first time you've heard me?
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly, we all did ace didn't we!
ReplyDeleteI love a bit of colour, so yellow was a nice change.
ReplyDeleteI spent about four years of my life modeling and was always uncomfortable in front of a filming camera... There's something about video that makes you feel self-conscious. But you know what? It never shows through the way you think it does? You didn't seem nervous, just: approachable, friendly, and down-to-Earth. Those are all good things!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that Kate, that's good to hear. I do fancy doing it again too, if anyone will have me.
