Something new!

How are you?!

If you’re reading this, you’ve found my old blog. I’ve ‘moved’. I’m currently blogging (or vlogging) on Substack!

You can find new posts by clicking on ‘VLOGletter’ in the menu at the top of this page. Or go here: Substack.

Substack is a platform for newsletters/blogs. You can read my posts on my website, on the Substack website, and in the Substack app, or I can send each new post directly to your email inbox.

Subscribe to Substack VLOGletter

I’m sending out a new VLOGletter each Monday and Friday.

In my imagination, it’s a mix of my blog before Instagram and Instagram before Reels, but in the form of a newsletter.

I try to include a little video in each post; however, it’s also the place where I tell you more about what you see in the video, what I’m working on off-camera, what I’m enjoying, what I’m reading or watching and where I can keep you in the loop of new video tutorials, new classes and other news I might have.

If this sounds like something you might like, hit that subscribe button above!

If you are interested in just the mini vlogs without my musings, you can choose to subscribe to the YouTube channel instead:

I would love to see you there!
