I have known for a long time that I have some crushes around here in blog land. Maybe they aren’t best defined as “crushes”, but it seems easier to say and for the sake of this post, I will call them crushes. In reality, these are just women who inspire me, encourage me, and/or bring humor or joy into my life from one post {or video} to the next who I would be honored to meet IRL. These are women who kind of register as “celebrity” status with me because they have huge and successful blogs with large numbers of followers and they are in a place that I can only hope to be in one day when it comes to blogging. Surely I’m not the only one out there who has a crush on fellow bloggers {or vloggers}.
If I had the opportunity to meet certain bloggers, at the top of my list would be Jennifer, Mandy, Bonnie, and Erin. I have grown strangely attached to these women over the past few years, whether or not they even know I exist. Jennifer has the most adorable little family and she’s a true southerner and totally speaks my language because of that! Mandy is inspiring and fun. I love what she works to bring into the blog world. Bonnie and Erin are two of the funniest bloggers to read, they make me laugh, but they also bring to light difficult topics with blogging. They’re real, they share the times when they get their feelings hurt (by other bloggers), but they’re good at staying positive and moving on. I appreciate that in them.
Since I attended Blog Elevated, I’ve gained two new crushes out their in blog land… or should I say vlog land? Jenny @ Jenny on the Spot {Her You Tube Channel}, spoke at Blog Elevated on vlogging and got me really excited about getting more involved in the vlogging community. I’ve had a ton of ideas for vlogging and am learning to edit and film videos.
The other day I ordered some tripods to film my videos better. I got a smaller one for counters, tables, and to easily carry with me. I got the larger one for filming myself cooking in the kitchen or outside in the park. They both arrived today and I’m so excited to get started with them tomorrow when I film something special for y’all!
If you’re interested in ordering these, they came at a very reasonable price and I’m extremely impressed with the quality to price ratio. {These are Affiliate Links}I got the Case Star on the right because I was looking for an iphone mount for the tripod and luckily it came with smaller tripod and then I found the taller tripod for a really great price and it comes with an awesome bag carrier for it.
I proceeded to post the below picture on instagram {sorry if you’ve already seen this} where I shouted out to Jenny, letting her know that I loved her session on vlogging and I’m excited to use my new tripods that I ordered just so I could go from #bloggertovlogger.
After I posted to Jenny on Instagram, the most exciting thing happened… SHE FOLLOWED ME… AND LIKED MY PHOTO…. ANNNNDDDD COMMENTED!
But then… later in the evening, I was looking through some of her photos and saw Mama Kat {Her You Tube Channel}. Jenny mentioned Mama Kat at Blog Elevated and I looked her up on You Tube immediately after Blog Elevated. She instantly become a favorite with her clever, witty, and hilarious videos. So when I saw her on instagram, I decided to follow her. Then the most exciting thing happened…. literally 2 seconds later… SHE FOLLOWED ME BACK…. AND LIKED MY PHOTO… ANNNNDDDD COMMENTED!
That’s great! I would have been so excited too!
Soooo exciting! I love that your crush saw it, too! OMG VLOGGING IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!!!!
