Announcing Pellerini’s First Ever Vlog

I am so behind the times.  Video blogging, commonly known as “vlogging”, or creating a vlog, has been around for a few years now, and to be quite honest, there are a few reasons why I haven’t migrated toward it.

  1. I love to write, or type I should say.  There’s something about hitting the keyboard and getting my thoughts out.  The clicking of the keyboard is somewhat soothing and powerful at the same time.
  2. Vlogging would require me, in my mind, to have the perfect outfit on with my hair blown out and nails modestly painted a neutral color.  Too much stress.
  3. I love to talk and am a bit concerned that I may talk too much…or babble…or get all tongue-tied.

I have since sucked it up and am going to take baby steps.

Pellerini's First Ever Vlog

I have such a passion about a myriad of topics – fashion, parenting, wine, health, wine, beauty, did I say wine?!  I decided that my first take on vlogging is going to be an “unboxing”.  (Unboxing is when someone videotapes themselves literally unboxing something they have received.) Usually it is a subscription box, but in my case it will be a pair of M. Gemi shoes that I have been willing to arrive since the minute I ordered them!

So here it is (pseudo drumroll please…kidding).  Please tell me what you think – about the shoes and the video.  I am totally open to constructive criticism.

Are there any videos that you would like to see in the future?  Maybe subscription box unboxing, recipes (which would involve the hubby – should be interesting!)?

      Thanks Kwame! Their shoes are awesome – they had a pop-up location in the Palm Beach Outlets over the holidays but when I went there last week it was gone 🙁

      I agree with you – I have been avoiding YouTube for ages and finally realized that I should at least try to get in the game and see how it goes!

    Really cute shoes, I love a shoe that ties up the leg. Like you I’m late to the vlogging game but I do enjoy it. I’ve been adding them into my blogs.

    Congrats on the step forward and getting past the what ifs that were holding you back. I personally think I babble too much as well and have hesitated to make more videos.
