Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄🎅❄️ I did it! I finally finished editing ONE video! 😂

I am actually surprised at how many videos I've got filmed but just never got edited. Who knew that filming was the easy part?

Hello everyone! I know, I know, I've totally disappeared... Who knew a full-time job was going to demand my full attention? Plus the whole episode with my laptop breaking down (entirely my fault).

Since I've paused my uploads, I've surprisingly gained quite a number of subscribers and I want to take this opportunity to also say hi and thank you!

So I've got some stuff recorded from some time ago that hadn't been edited yet and let's prioritise, shall we?

I wish I were more consistent with my uploads but I'm so tired 😭
Boss, if you see this, I'm very, very tired 😿 help

Ooookay! It's been a minute since I last uploaded. Since my laptop got fixed, I hadn't gotten back my momentum since everything needs to be recalibrated. I've got stuff filmed, it's just a matter of editing! Man, having a job really does a number on one's YT channel 🤣

Hi y’all! Thought I should make it a habit to update the community section whenever something’s being changed with my channel. This is not a change that I planned, more…circumstantial changes.

I planned on uploading a couple of videos these few weeks but unfortunately, my laptop……..ran out of battery during a Windows update and now cannot be used. It has been sent to the shop, hopefully🤞the expert will be able to execute a systems repair on it and that all my data….isn’t just gone like that.

Most of my finished and uploaded works are backed up but unfortunately the new clips aren’t due to a lack of space in my C drive. So in the event everything got wiped out…well, let’s just hope that doesn’t happen. 🙏✨

I normally don’t harp on incidences that happen but at this point, I’m finding it difficult to differentiate whether I’m just good at letting these things go or extremely good at staying in denial 😂

Happy 2024!! 🥳 Just popping in to participate in the social convention of wishing every person you see a happy new year.

No seriously though, I’d just like to thank you for all of y’all who’ve followed my videos since I started uploading more regularly, be it my wax stamping videos, my stamp school series or my shorts. 🫶🏻 and of course, my new subscribers.

It’s been an incredible creativity outlet, working on these videos, I get inspired everyday and only wish I’ve got the time (and motivation 😂) to be more consistent in my creations.

But life be like that some times. As usual, I’ve got stuff filmed, I just gotta edit the clips.

I’d say that I hadn’t had the time to do it but I’ve been spending a bunch of time training all the different skills on OSRS lately, so let’s not make excuses 🤣 I’m literally mining rune esssence in the background as I’m typing. Training magic is so expensive if you’re gonna buy all the runes! 🧙‍♂️

Okay, to be fair... I’m exhausted and just want do something that doesn’t require thinkinggg 🧠

My next long-form upload would probably be in February, because I’ve got commitments every weekend now and I. Am. So. Spent. I’m not complaining though, everyone’s been incredibly patient, not just here, and I’m just grateful there’s been no excessive pressure to get EVERYTHING done.

I don’t want to rush an edit and upload a video that’s subpar, it’d be a waste of all of our time. So… happy new year! 🎆🎇

Hey y’all 👋 I’m going to make some adjustments to my upload patterns, considering the current schedule plan isn’t sustainable.

I’m going back to monthly uploads for stamp school chapters instead of trying to rush for weekly uploads. I was able to upload weekly previously because I already had the chapters planned and some filmed, so it was doable. But now that I’ve uploaded all those videos and am 3 months into a different chapter in my life, that plan is in no way sustainable 😂

Wax Stamp School is something I thought about for very long in the back of my head and I want to do it properly, so I really don’t want to rush the scripting, filming and editing process, potentially compromising its quality.

I’ll still upload my regular wax stamp content in between the chapters and consistently upload shorts. This will hopefully give me enough time to create quality meaningful content while keeping my channel active! 🫶🏻

Hi y’all! 👋 it’s been way too long. I’ve got Chapter 6 of my stamp school series already filmed, I’m left with editing and I’d be able to upload it. I was hoping to get it done by Monday but time started passing so quickly! 😂

Hopefully I’ll be able to get it done soon and maintain a more consistent upload schedule!

Hello to old friends and welcome to new friends! 👋

It’s been a few months since my last poll and so much has changed. On my channel, I mainly made wax stamp videos with music and occasionally, I would get requests for videos without music. So, I’ve also made a few ASMR [No Music] wax stamp videos.

After making several of these videos, I realised…they’re not that satisfying 😂 hear me out. Wax stamping is a pretty quiet craft if you take away the part where you’re unpacking your supplies.

The wax melts quietly, the wax pours quietly, your stamp sets quietly in the wax. Sometimes your stamp clings slightly to your wax seal and you might get a click from it but it otherwise lifts quietly too 🤫

I use a mic to film my ASMR videos so that these clicks are recorded more clearly without the background noises. But, that also means soft brushing sounds (when I highlight seals) or little clicks here and there that are super soft don’t get captured, and the silence is DEAFENING!

So. I’d like to hear your opinion about these videos. I’ve ran polls in the past and the results were pretty split, and occasionally I’d still get requests for ASMR videos, most of them are nice, some of them are downright rude (deleted). Therefore… I’d like to get some feedback on whether these ASMR videos are still requested now that I’ve made several, both long and short versions.

I would love it if y’all could comment down below to share your thoughts, otherwise, it would be super helpful if you’d just vote below! 🫶🏻

Should I…

Update: I will be uploading an ASMR video for my next long form video, on theme with the waning crescent moon season 🌙 (keeping in line with real life occurrences help me organise my upload themes and keep me on schedule 😂 whale season, anyone?)

Wax Stamp School chapters will be uploaded every 2 weeks instead of the current weekly uploads because I have to slow down the production. Busy busy busy 🐝
