another video from the vault! this one is just shy of 3 years old. wow! if i continued making videos instead of taking a break, who knows how many videos i would've made! these old videos just crack me up.

tomorrow, i'll be back with new videos. i just needed to take this weekend off to get over the last hump of this sickness. also, my lips have been extremely dry the past few days. i basically have to slather on my EOS lip balm every 5 minutes. i think they're due to allergies, which i never had until i moved here. the weather has also been so wonky... the past couple days it never went above the mid-40s. it's currently 53 right now. i guess winter is rearing its ugly head one last time. i'm really for it to be warm. xoxo Kathleen

so i said i was going to make new videos this weekend, but the weather is so crappy and grey and gloomy  that i just didn't feel like it... so i reached into my vault and uploaded one that i made 2 years ago on February 23rd, 2010. it's pretty funny that i happen to have a cold in this video... i seem to always get sick around this time of the year.

i might upload another old video tomorrow... i just want to spend this weekend recovering the last bit of this sickness. thanks for watching! xoxo Kathleen

another oldie, but goodie... i still feel like poo! so i found another tutorial that was pretty good to upload today. sorry for the quality... when i uploaded videos in the past, i used a program called iShrink (i believe) to compress the video so it could upload quicker. so the best it could be was 360p.

nowadays, depending on what the video is about, i would either upload in 720p HD (which takes HOURS to upload) or large 480p and they still take a long time to upload. HD is really taxing on the internet at home so uploading in large 480p takes about 1/2 the time, but it still takes a while depending on how long the video is.

anyway, i'm slowly getting better... my fever broke last night while i was crashed on the couch... as soon as that happened, i felt 10x better. i was able to sit up and eat dinner (we ordered pizza) and watch last Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead. i really wanted to go out today and see my friends C & R get married, but i just couldn't do it... i was still pretty weak. i've been taking OTC meds and also the hubby stayed at home today, too... at least my other friends A & M made it to the wedding. i still feel horrible that i couldn't go but i didn't want to infect them on this blessed day. they're going to have a celebration later on in the summer and most likely i'll be well enough to attend!

i'm going to try to make a new video tomorrow, but we'll see. i'll sound like crap, and i'll have to edit out all the coughing, but i have something planned for the month of March. i hope you like it. xoxo Kathleen

i really wanted to make a video today... specifically the bridal makeup look i'm going to do to my friend C, but i had a HUGE coughing fit last night that i had to sleep on the couch because i kept on waking up my poor husband. then i couldn't go back to sleep. i'm so stubborn when it comes to taking medicine, but i finally caved in and took some DayQuil to kick this cough in the butt.

so i uploaded an oldie, but goodie. it's a video that i made back in June 2009 that i actually liked! i hope you like it, too... maybe you remember it? LOL

i will be uploading older videos when i go out of town, around March 10th weekend... i'm not sure if i'll be able to record anything beauty-related when i'm away, but i'll try. i do not want to miss a single day! however, if i do, i'll just double up when i get back... or i'll just pre-record some videos and upload them on those days. i hope you don't mind! i actually had some good videos back then (and much better skin, too)! xoxo Kathleen
