So, I did something I've never done before. Awhile ago, a friend on formspring asked if I'd ever done a vlog or would ever do a vlog. At first, I dismissed the question, because, let's face it, I'm kind of crazy/a total nerd (seriously), so a vlog from me would be interesting to say the least. Buuuut...I thought about it somemore, and because I wanted to do something different, I attempted a vlog for you all. Please don't laugh. Or, feel free too, honestly. I laughed at myself, so it's all good. For real. :)
A FEW NOTES:
A FEW NOTES:
I was having a bad hair day, okay?! ;)
I said like about forty times in the beginning and annoyed myself.

I'm kind of awkward sometimes.
My brain was dead. The end.
It's long, I know. I'm new to this whole vlogging thing.
Please excuse my frequent grammatical mistakes.
Umm...I laughed at myself, so if you did too, that's okay. I completely understand.
I really talk with my hands.
Sorry about the weird transitions. The original was like 15 minutes long. I had to splice and dice, yo.

I make jokes that I think are funny. Usually, they're not. I still laugh.
If there's enough interest, I'm thinking of making this a weekly thing. Is there anything you'd like to hear more about? Any questions you have? Like I said, the original was over fifteen minutes long, and I have some content on photography and branding that I do want to share with you all. Maybe making it into a series? Would love to hear your thoughts!

OH MY GOSH. you are SO. adorable.

Aww, you are adorable! It's really nice to hear you voice finally!
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool to hear people talk after reading their writings for so long. I talk with my hands a lot, too - whether the medium of communication I'm really using is my voice, writing, or something else. I think it's a way that creative minds try to piece together what they are going to say, and/or "draw" a picture for whomever is listening.
ReplyDeleteWelp. Analyzation on talking with your hands. #ProudNerd
This was a great start at vlogging! I literally laughed out loud when you were talking about your relationship with Google. ^_^ Anyways, these were some helpful tips!! I've come to realize (just like you said) that usually people will revisit a blog because it sparked something inside of them, or they felt a certain way when they read the posts, or they just enjoyed the content. I've tried a couple attempts at full-out text posts alongside my client postings, and people have enjoyed them! It's just staying consistent and making sure to always produce quality posts no matter what. I also seem to struggle with having a good crowd always checking back on my blog... it seems like I've only got about 3 good followers that keep checking back for new uploads. :/ I think in your situation it really helps that you're connected to other people through blogspot. For me, I'm just a solo blog out there trying to scoop up some attention. ;) But enough rambling from me! Great post!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this, Hannah. I was laughin (with you, not at you! ;D) the whole time. :)
ReplyDeletePeople ask me how I learned to graphics design all the time as well! And then I'm just like.."uh, I google things. And sorta try things out. If they fail, I try something else...uh...yeah." Hah!
I would love to see this as a weekly thing! I have a question: how long have you been graphic designing?
{{hugs}}
You're so cute! Seriously, I thought your Google joke was amazing. Laughed out loud! You have the cutest, most amazing facial expressions! ;)
ReplyDeleteeve @ essence of eve
i love your voice. reminds me of your mama! : ) and no worries... i'm known to hit myself in the face while talking.
ReplyDeletei love it when bloggers finally do vlogs! then we get to see face and hear the voice live that's been behind the blog we love..... :)
ReplyDeletecuteness, dear!
I loved this! So fun to finally see and hear you at the same time haha. ;)
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, love this girl! You are so cute and sweet and I LOVE your Minnesotan accent! Truly, truly, truly. I've always kinda wished that we had a Pacific Northwestern accent, if we do, somebody please do tell. I got my wish after a fashion though, now my friends tell me I have a sweet little American accent in French. Haha! Really though, this was awesome and YES PLEASE to weekly vlogs! Help keep the smile quota up!
ReplyDeletethis is awesome! It's so good to put a voice to the word + face :D
ReplyDeleteyou are the literal best. and yes, talking with hands is totally a prerequisite for friendship, yo. but the hair flip didn't make the cut?! sniff sniff. ;)
ReplyDeleteHA. This made my morning. And the 'google is my BFF' things was priceless. And I love your hair. And my most recent vlog was 17 minutes. I'm not even kidding you. So you did good for length. :)
ReplyDeleteAbbie /// XOXOX
I loved this girlie - you are so cute and sweet! It's so nice to hear your voice after I've been reading your blog for a while. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know what, your personality is great! And that was a very cute vlog. =) I thought your jokes were funny, and it was great hearing what you had to say. ~Aidyl
ReplyDeleteaw, you're so cute! I'm so happy to finally put a voice with the face and words. (;
ReplyDeleteYou're so adorable! :) LOVE the vlog! :D It's so cool to put voices to the writing after so long. Also, I love how you laugh at your own jokes! ;)
ReplyDeleteI already love(ed) reading who you are..now I really see your personality.
ReplyDeleteyou're adorable!
loved it ;)
Hahahaha!! Love this!!! I laughed with you, because your ice cream comment sounded EXACTLY like me. Funny funny. :D
ReplyDeleteAnd that was Rachel...apparently I was signed into our family email address. :P
DeleteI definitely appreciated the vlog :) It's neat to hear you and see your quirks...everyone has them!
ReplyDeleteYou have an accent!?! I couldn't hear it! Oh no! maybe Manitobans have one too!!;)
ReplyDeleteLove the vlog! love the hand talking.Great post Hannah!
Yours,
K
I love it! :D I wish I had your cute voice! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm from Minnesota too and I always make fun of the Minnesotan accent, because I don't think it exists. Well, maybe it does in old fishermen.
Hehe :D. It was SO fun hearing your voice for the first time! Well, I take that back. You posted a video of you singing a song you wrote a while back. But this is the first time I've heard you "talk." Yay!! :D
ReplyDeleteoh my word you are so cute ;) yeah minnesota accent non existent? I have no idea what the minnesota accent even sounds like? i guess thats because I'm a minnesota girl too. You know I think you, kiley and I defs need to meet up this summer. mhmm
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Madeline
oh my garsshness!! you see all these comments??? YOUR A SUPERSTAR!!! :) haha, haaaanahh. stop being so humble!! ;)
ReplyDelete"bad hair day"? HAH.
I LOVED finally getting to hear what you SOUND LIKE!! (: I love your vlog!! PLEASE PLEASE DO MORE!!!! (:
I love your rambling, and talking with hands.. bravo!!
x
LOVE your first vlog Hannah! I definitely think you should make vlogging a frequent thing. I always enjoy getting to see more of the person behind the blog. I think a series on blogging tips/questions/etc. would be awesome :)
ReplyDeleteyou are so super cute. LOVED this. and love you. for real. ;)
ReplyDeleteI loved this! I'm always curious to hear what bloggers sound like and I think you're so cute (and funny)! Would love to see a vlog regularly. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I agree with everyone else, you're so cute and funny! =)
ReplyDeleteWe. Are. Blogging twins. Seriously, I have the same commenting rule, and I Google pretty much everything when it comes to graphic design.
ReplyDeleteIt was so cool to see you talk (as weird as that may sound.) I thought you said you had an accent? If so, I didn't notice it. Well... till the end, when you said "Dontcha know?" X) (Too adorable.)
You should totally make this a weekly thing. And maybe sometime, you can talk more about how you and Carlotta met. (I think I asked you about it on Formspring, but maybe not.)
xoxo,
Jessica @ Diary of a Beautiful Soul
um hi. you're adorable. i'm going to call you today hopefully. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou know what? When you said in a post recently that you have an accent, I was thinking of the super thick Minnesota accents my cousins have (I have cousins in MN. Yep.). But seriously, yours is way easier to listen to and I loved your vlog!! :) I don't think I'd ever do one- I consider my blog to be a only a place to post pictures, not write- but if I did, oh goodness. My great big Mississippi accent would triple while I recorded the video. And not on purpose, either. :D
ReplyDeleteYou are soooo cute! Gah, I love your accent (probably because it's not tooooo northern. I didn't just say that. Ok I did ;)). Anyhoo, enjoyed hearing ya!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your hair. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteYou sound so American.
ReplyDeleteI know that sounds so stupid but obviously I always read your blog posts in my own inner voice, but just thinking of you talking with your hands a lot, but not really in an American accent. And now I'm like "aah! Hannah's accent is amazing!"
So yeah.
Love your vlog Hannah!! :) Please do more! I always like to see the girl's behind the blogs I read, hear what they sound like and see their personalities. You are so cheerful and sweet.
ReplyDeleteI was laughing with you, not at you. I laugh at myself too haha :D
Much love and many blessings!
~Madi
That was great! :)
ReplyDeletelove the accent, the lego book in the background, the advice on blogging, the genuineness (no red line, apparently that's a word!), finally hearing the voice behind the girl -- please do more! you're too cute! :)
ReplyDeleteahaha, I loved your Google joke :) this was so perfect! it's always so much fun to watch a blogger "in person" on a vlog :)
ReplyDeletealso, I can't get enough of your eyes - they are gorgeouss!
Beautiful. =)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering, could you send me an email (emroo19@gmail.com) or leave a comment at my blog (emilytheindustrious.blogspot.com) on how you got "You Might Also Like..." (with included pictures and links to past posts) to appear underneath your post? I've been exasperatingly trying to figure this out and I fail.
=/
If you could let me know, I was REALLY appreciate it. ;)
Thanks!
Btw, what made you want to start ballet?
oh yay! I'm pretty sure I was the person that asked you on formspring about doing a vlog, so I'm ever so happy to see one. (: you're adorable, dontcha know. and I don't think it's possible for you to have a bad hair day...I honestly don't believe it. ;)
ReplyDeleteI know pretty much everyone has said this, but you are adorable. And I love your accent :) It's nice for us to see the girl behind the posts/text sometimes, which is why vlogs make a nice change.
ReplyDeleteI would say, make it a weekly thing if you want, to spruce things up, but don't feel obligated to focus more on vlogging or anything.

Can I just say that i LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE your hair!?!?!??? It is so perfectly messy - and messy hair is in, btw. :)
ReplyDeleteLove,

p.s. you are adorable. jus' sayin. ;)
I loved this! I love vlogs because you sort of get to meet the blogger in a new way. I totally laughed at your google joke :) And your hair? Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteReally loved this. :) You're precious! And you sound so intelligent!!! :D
ReplyDeleteAw, this was awesome Hannah!! I really enjoyed it! :) You are so sweet and gorgeous!! I just love your blog! I've been following for a little while, but I've just been one of those "silent followers". So sorry about that, from now on I will be commenting on your amazing posts! Also, thanks for the advice in your video dear!
ReplyDeleteMuch love,

It's always fun to hear someone's voice after only reading their posts. It makes it feel like you're more of a real person, you know? I mean, I've always known you're real, but this, like, solidifies it. Oh, and I like your idea of always commenting after reading a post. That's a good rule to have. I need to comment more.
ReplyDeletei loved this! it was so adorable :) your voice was not quite like i imagined it, but it was awesome to finally hear your voice after reading your writing for so long.
ReplyDelete-kinga
Haha! You are too cute for words. And if there ever was I bad hair day...I didn't see it. Lovely as always. I liked some of the things you mentioned like your blog being about you, but not about you; and comment on every post you read. Those were good points. While I am not one to care how many followers I have, I do want to and strive to make my blog welcoming, and one that offers that feeling they're looking for. :)
ReplyDeleteEm
This is ADORABLE. Bad hair day? Um, no. It's so cute. Your eyes and hair are just gorgeous. You have such a great personality! And I love your voice. Can we just be BFFs already? Please please? Move to California and I will be happy.
ReplyDeletePS: Great advice about blogging! And what a great idea about commenting after reading a post! I'm going to start doing that; I don't do it often enough, and I want to let bloggers know that I love what they're doing.
Love this post, and you!!
Have a wonderful day (:
♥ Kailyn
why are you so cute and adorable? you're awesome, and I love you.
ReplyDeletexo
You should definitely does this weekly.. because it brightened my day!
ReplyDeleteChecking in via Comment since I think it's nice too to know who has been viewing your online stuff. Phantom browsers are kinda freaky [laughs]. Yeah, Google rocks! It was encouraging to hear you share that Google is how you learned how to design. That's what drew me into your blog. =)
ReplyDeleteoh i LOVE your voice! and i wasn't laughing at you at all, i thought you were completely interesting and sensible : )
ReplyDeletei say a big YES to the weekly series...sounds great!
Loved it, Hannah! You should totally do more vlogs. ::smiles::
ReplyDeletelove the vlog, hannah! i hope you do more in the future. (:
ReplyDeleteawh, you're pretty cute! your accent isn't too bad...and even if it was, it'd be great, because Minnesota is best ;)
ReplyDeletethanks for vlogging! it's good to get to know you better. :)
Oh fabulous! I'm so glad you allow Name/URL users now... Be expecting lots of comments from me from now on! [:
ReplyDeleteI loved the vlog. Your voice is SO adorable. It's definitely something you should keep doing. Besides your rambles (which, are fun to watch, btw), I'd love to hear any tips you have on graphic design/blogging/ect. As I still have 3 years before I can have a blog, I'm trying to learn as much as I can. ;)

Hannah, this was awesome! And, AHHHH, your accent! I totally love the whole northern thing! We used to live in Wisconsin, and I have been told that I have one, although, I have never noticed it. Anyway, we just saw our neighbors from there a couple weeks ago, and they said "Don'tcha know" a lot, so I thought that was so cute!
ReplyDeleteI would love it if you did this weekly! I really loved finally hearing you talk, after reading your amazing posts =D

You've inspired me to start one. :)
ReplyDeletehave you seen The Last Song? Liam -- er, Will -- laughs at his own jokes and he cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteMade me laugh and I love to laugh. So I think you pretty much aced the whole vlog thing... can't wait for the next one! go hannah:D
Seriously..you're adorable! I love your MinnesOHta accent! ;-) Great job on the vlog!
ReplyDeletei loved the vlog!! :) you should deff do more :)
ReplyDeletep.s you are super cute :)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!!!! I've always wanted to know the girl behind the blog posts. ;) You are adorable! *smile* That's all I can say. That, and I laughed WITH you. ;)

um. so i thought you were beautiful in photos.
ReplyDeletebut in real life its amplified ten-fold.
you are seriously...incredible. i like how your voice sounds. :)
You're too cute Hannah! I love your voice! :) I'm going to be making a vlog today (i think) and I'm pretty pumped. But I think it's going to be hard talking to a computer... you seem pretty okay with it. LOL.
ReplyDeleteahh! so glad to see you through video! :)
ReplyDeleteOk Hannah. You are adorable. And I would have watched for fifteen minutes ;)
ReplyDeleteI like your rule of commenting, I don't do that, but I'm just now starting to.
xo
l.
ah! Finally got to watch this! hehe your wave at the end. So cute. My wave is really cheesy too. So ridiculous. I seriously would have watched a 15 minute vlog. Because yours are just so awesome, and hilarious. :)
ReplyDeleteokay <3
oh! PS. I love your rule of commenting. I actually have that same rule for myself. Its super helpful to just say, if I read a post, I will comment. :)
Can I just say I didn't really hear the accent?! I honestly did not realize that you had one :) This was so fun and I hope you make it a weekly thing! And I know others have said this, but I'm going to start using your commenting rule.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind if these were even longer :)
You know Hannah, if your accent didn't give yourself away as a Minnesotan, your saying goodbyes surely could. That was a true Minnesotan goodbye in vlogging if I ever saw one!
ReplyDelete"Like, like, like". I have that problem too!
ReplyDeleteAccent? I don't here one? But I'm from Minnesota too :)We just moved to North Carolina, so I guess I'll have to mix southern with Minnesotan.
Loved this!
Love this, Hannah. I'm from Michigan, so I don't think you have an accent at all. I also talk with my hands, vociferously. You should vlog again sometime!
ReplyDeleteMy dad's from Minnesota, so I guess I'm used to the accent because I couldnn't hear it. ;) I'm so glad to know what you voice sounds like now, though (in a completely un-creepy way! haha). You're just SO adorable and I loved the video! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so great to hear your voice after reading your blog Hannah! You are adorable and your accent and everything is all very sweet.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to take your advise and comment on every post I read too!
Awesome video.
xx, Annie
This is the sweetest thing I've seen for the day! Finally, a real vlog from you! It was wonderful to hear your voice at last. You are simply adorable and funny. Oh, I see we're pretty similar in some aspects. I usually spend an extensive amount of time on Google, trying to learn how to graphic design. And I speak with my hands all the time.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to echo what the rest are saying: make more vlogs, please! 'Cause dontcha know...I loved this one!
That was cute! Cute. Cute. Cute.
ReplyDeleteYou are cute. Cute. Cute. Cute.
It's funny, but I didn't think you sounded too different! I expected all kinds of strange stuff - but I only heard Minnesota a few times.
You should vlog more. It took me about 5 times before I didn't feel so self conscious.
See ya!
Have a great day!
Lynnette
I love it! And I really do love your accent. I'm surrounded by Tennessee accents all the time so yours is quite nice to hear...really. haha! I speak with my hands too! Sometimes it doesn't work as well as I would like because I end up whacking someone..but oh well. haha. I do have a question actually---maybe a few!
ReplyDelete1. Do you do any kind of street photography?
2. Did you ever have a sort of "fear" of pointing a camera at some random person?
3. If so, how did you overcome that?
Thanks! Love your blog and I'm always inspired when I leave!
Love, Tessa Brooke
haha, just watched this!! I love it. You're so cute... I talk with my hands ALL THE TIME. my Mom's always telling me to stop. =) so now we can be friends. =)
