My New Vlog

If you had asked me five years ago whether I would be doing a vlog at my age, I would have laughed. But when I retired, I felt the call of the camera once again and thought “I can do that! I can be a vlogger.” But here’s the thing. I never thought I would have to become a one-woman production band.

Here’s what it takes: I first search my living room, bedroom, office and kitchen to find a relevant background. I position a light and set up my iPhone camera on a tripod and check the sound and video. Then—one more important step before I start— hair and makeup… in my bathroom.

Let’s not even talk about editing and posting. (Secretly, I love the whole process.)

I’m proof you can teach an old beeatch new tricks!
