Three years ago today I started this blog! As a token of thanks, I'm giving $75 to Sephora to one lucky reader. I'm also dedicating next week to YOU with my annual Reader Request Week. And finally, I did the scariest thing possible: a video to share with you! I've never made a video before, as you will definitely see, and I'm so shy! This video was this week's The 52 Project goal, and it was a huge step for me. I'm taking you behind the scenes on a mini-tour of my apartment to show secrets from the "glamorous" world of blogging! Spoiler alert: it's not glamorous. Enjoy getting to know me better AND the most embarrassing 2 minutes and 40 seconds of my life! No, seriously, watch! :)
In case the video doesn't load, try this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRTnG3bhF3w
Highlights:
- my embarrassing southern accent
- my camera awkwardness
- my attempt at trying to be funny
- my satin pillow--I told y'all I was serious about my hair!
- that I puked twice out of nerves, sorry, tmi
- that I wish I was that relaxed, blogging on the bed in real life
- that I had to bribe a certain someone to be in the video
- watch past the credits!
- A SURPRISE SPECIAL GUEST (skip to the 2 min mark to see!)
Thank you so much for reading, commenting, and following my blog/social media. I know I take this silly blog way too seriously, but it means the world to me! So thank you, thank you, thank you! Here's to many more years to come! THANK YOU! xo, Elle

Happy blogiversary! I've never done a vlog because my voice sounds embarrassingly weird through anything electronic. And it takes me like 20 takes to get anything. You're so great though! I loved the video!

ReplyDeleteLoved the video! Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteThe video is so cute! Your kitchen is gorgeous. I'm totally jealous. :) P.S. I love your Southern accent!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason even though you live in Atlanta I never thought of you as having an accent! Haha not sure why...you are so adorable though if you were nervous I couldn't even tell! And Charlie is super adorable too :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! I love your make up and hair posts.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I love your accent! I'm jealous of your product collection!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! Great video, Elle. It felt like we were actual guests at your place. Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteI'm from South GA, which is why I have the accent. Atl is such a melting pot, so there's no real accent here anymore.

Happy 3rd Blogiversary!!! The video is super lovely and your doggie too. The video is not embarrassing at all. Hope you´ll make some more :)
ReplyDeletexx
OMG OMG OMG! This is such fun!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing "more" of you. Your face is pretty in still photos but, when it's moving, you're even cuter. And I like your very slight but recognizable regional accent: it has a lovely lilt to it.
Also fun to see where and how you create your posts. Behind-the-scenes (sees) looks are always entertaining.
And congratulations on your longevity. That's a real achievement. Your blog rocks!
Loved the video! Congratulations on 3 years! So exciting!! xo, Julie
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to this great blog of yours!!
