Hi guys! I thought you all might be missing my face since my last video in March, so here is my May Illumicrate unboxing!

I bought Illumicrate with my own money and didn’t receive anything in exchange for this review! All my own opinions.

Hi! You seem really sweet on Youtube. If I could make a suggestion, though. I think it’d be better if you lowered your camera a bit (or sit higher yourself). You’d have less trouble getting the books entirely in the frame. Good luck with future videos and with blogging of course 🙂

Thanks Elliot! I really need to get a tripod, this is with the camera on the window ledge and a stack of books 😂 hence the reflection in my glasses which really annoys me! I’ll double check everything is properly in the frame next time 😊

Lol! I guess that’s how every succesful vlogger started out 🙂
Anyway, I’m not judging. I think you’re already very brave for doing it. Cameras frighten me. Keep it up!

Me too! It’s such a good way to discover books I’ll probably love but might never have bought 😊

Your article made me smile! I have one similar that will be out tomorrow, but no videos. I’m afraid no one would understand my accent lol I liked your video though, but to second the other person who made a previous comment. I wanted to see the box while you unwrapped it too so maybe you could have the camera lower next time. 🙂 it was great though!

I think I’m going to order a tripod soon so I can angle the lens right, that way I can kind of point it down at myself and hopefully get more in the frame 😊 thank you for letting me know, I’ve only made two videos so far so I need all the tips I can get!

That’s a good idea. I like how you take the time to present each item and give your take on it. 🙂

Thanks, I know some people literally open the box for the first time on camera, but I get too excited when it arrives to wait lol, so I’ve already seen everything before – plus I feel like those people are picking up the items and going “I’ve never heard of this and have no idea what it’s about so… Next item!” lol. I prefer to have something to say about the products. In my first video I hadn’t got the packing list, so in this one I kept looking down at it and it really annoyed me in editing so I cut a lot of me reading in my lap 😂
