Happy Valentine's Day 2017 + New Video!

Hey, guys!

We're so excited to share this special Valentine's Day video with you all! We asked you guys to ask us relationship and love questions (even made up ones) for this video, and we hope you guys love our answers. Or should I say, Chris Man's answers.:)

So, that was probably not what you guys were expecting to happen in response to your questions, but we hope you enjoyed it nonetheless. We cracked up so much while we were filming this, which should make for an entertaining blooper reel soon.;)

We hope you all have a fantastic Valentine's Day, and a special thanks to the people who asked us questions!

Vlog: Disneyland! Is It Really the "Happiest Place on Earth"?

Hey, everybody!

We're so excited to show you all the video we've been working on for a while now -- a Disneyland vlog! We went to Disneyland about a month ago, and if you follow us on Instagram, you would have seen some of the pictures we took while we were there. Here is a video of the things we did while we were there, and we added our own twist to the typical vlog by adding a fun feature.:) You'll have to watch to see!

 

 

Have you been to Disneyland before? Do you think it's the Happiest Place on Earth?

 Hello, everybody!

We're happy to present to you our latest Smuggler's Bounty unboxing video! We hope you enjoy it, and that you'll give the video a "thumbs up" or comment below. Also, let us know if you want to see more Star Wars themed videos from us in the future! We received one comment saying that more Star Wars videos would be well received, so we just might do more.;)

This month's box was Rogue One themed, and it had a lot of cool stuff in it. If you want to order your own box for the month of January, then check out Smuggler's Bounty to sign up for the Empire Strikes Back box.

Instagram and Vlogs!

Hey, everybody!

So, we've got some pretty cool news for you all. We opened up our official Instagram account! We added the link to our social media gadget on the sidebar of the blog, and we've included it above. If you're interested in seeing some snapshots from our day-to-day lives or want to see some behind-the-scene type things from our videos, definitely go follow us there!

Also, we have a new video for you! We filmed a vlog of our day at the book release party for Lodestar, the fifth book in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger. If you have never read or heard of these books, well... GO GET THE FIRST BOOK!!! They are some of our favorite books, and we greatly recommend them to anyone looking for a really creative and phenomenal story. 

Also, here are some extra photos from the launch party that we didn't put in the video.

Tables set up... 

The cover art for all five Keeper books!

Selfie time!

 

Here are some pics that our mom took of us vlogging while waiting in line. This is what is going on behind the camera.:)

Shannon Messenger signing books!

 

Us with Shannon!

 

And lastly, here's a picture that Shannon had taken from the launch and posted to her Instagram. 

Have you ever read any of Shannon Messenger's books? Are you interested in reading any of them?

What Do You Think?

Hey, guys!

So, I was just thinking, Emma and I have made a lot of different types of posts over the years. We've made videos (which we are going to continue doing. It's so fun!), we've done outfit posts, hair and beauty tutorials, photo shoots, vlogs, and who knows what else! We've dabbled in a lot of different things, and I was just wondering...

What are the things that YOU (yes, you) personally get excited to see that we posted?

Do you like photo shoots and outfit ideas, or do you enjoy our silly videos (like Running Shoes, the one we just posted this past week)? Do you have any ideas for things you would love to see us do (Emma note: LIKE CHALLENGES?!)?

Emma and I both have a lot ideas for new videos we would like to make, because as of right now, we enjoy making videos more than actual blog posts. But I thought it would be super fun to hear what you all have to say! I personally love hearing from all of you and seeing what it is that you enjoy the most on our blog or our YouTube channel.

I know that Emma and I don't do the best with blogging regularly, so I want to apologize for that. We haven't quit on the blog or anything, we just really only post when we have something to share with you! And posting more regularly might happen a bit more once we settle into a rhythm of the types of content we make. So please, do share with us what it is you love about our blog and videos, and even tell us what you don't like!

Disclaimer: if you say you don't like something that we particularly love doing (like making funny videos, our Smuggler's Bounty unboxing videos, etc.) we probably will not alter our performance in that area. When we find videos and things we love to do, we aren't likely to stop producing that kind of content.

Thanks for reading! I hope to hear from you all soon!

Running Shoes - Short Film

Hey, guys!

I'm so excited to show you the new video Emma and I made together over the past couple weeks. It took a ton of work, but we're very happy with how it turned out. We hope you enjoy this short film style of video, and that you'll let us know what you think in the comments section!

 

 

So, what did you think?:)

Smuggler's Bounty: Death Star Unboxing!

Woohoo!!!

I just finished editing our new Smuggler's Bounty unboxing video! I'm so excited, because this video is kind of different from the ones we've posted in the past. I hope you guys enjoy it, and that it was worth the extra days of waiting. Be sure to let us know what you think of the new editing style! 

This month we received the "Death Star" box. The unboxing is within the first four minutes of the video, and then we end up rambling about Star Wars for the rest of the time. I would recommend that you stay till the end though, because there are some pretty funny parts in the second half of the video.;) 

Check it out!

If you want to sign up for the November box (it's Rogue One themed!), then visit Smuggler's Bounty to be added to the mailing list! And if you want us to make more videos about Star Wars (or if you have a different idea for a video you would like us to make), let us know by leaving a comment down below. We'd love to hear from you. :)

Apologies... And Our First Vlog!

Hey, everybody!

I'm so sorry we haven't kept you updated more thoroughly over the past month or so... Emma and I both are bad at this apparently. But we have a new video coming up soon that we shot yesterday.:) It's Smuggler's Bounty time! However, I have to edit the video together, and that tends to take me awhile, but I'll try to get it up ASAP. 

In the meantime we have this video to show you! Emma and I shot a vlog about our day of sewing, froyo, and such.:) We hope that you enjoy the video! Watch all the way to the end for a deleted scene/blooper. Let us know if you like vlog videos so we'll know to keep bringing you along on our adventures (even though this vlog wasn't so adventurous per se).

See you soon with our Bounty box video!

Blind Makeovers & Our Four Year Blogiversary!

Hi, everyone!

 

So, today is a very special day... It's our four year blogiversary! On this day four years ago, I made my very first blog post. It's crazy, I can't believe that! If you go back to my very first blog post, my mission statement was very different from what it is today. This blog has evolved a lot (changing the name and style, adding Emma on as an author), but there is still so much more for Emma and I to discover when it comes to producing content for you to enjoy. We're still in the process of nailing down our "brand," and we have some things in the works right now that we're hoping will go over well with you when it does come out. So just hang in there!

 

In celebration of our four years on the blogisphere, Emma and I shot a video for you. We're giving each other blind makeovers! It's a really funny video (if I do say so myself) because we both end up looking crazy. Personally, I think my favorite part is when I see Emma's makeup after I'm done with it. Let me know what your favorite part is!

 

 

I just want to say thank you to all of our followers. We appreciate each and every one of you, and we're so thankful that we have such lovely people who enjoy what we have to offer. Which makes me wonder, what posts/videos do we make that YOU enjoy the most? I'd love to get some feedback from you, and see if we can incorporate some more of the things that you all enjoy into our blog or YouTube channel. Like I said earlier, Emma and I do have things in the works that we haven't told you about yet, but I would still love to hear about the things you all personally enjoy reading/viewing here.

 

Thank you all so much for your support! We love you guys!

Here's to a new year of blogging!

Go Follow Us On YouTube!

Hi, everyone!

Short post today. I just wanted to say that if you haven't subscribed to our YouTube channel yet, I highly recommend that you do so. Emma and I will be posting videos on there that are exclusive to YouTube, so you won't see them uploaded here on the blog. I posted a new video there just today, so go check that out!

New Series: Our 5 Favorite Songs for the Month!

Hi, everybody!

 

So, as you can tell by the title, we have a new series! Each month, we're going to make a video detailing our top five song recommendations for you. I'm also going to include the music/lyric videos to each of our picks in the post below our video, so you can check the songs out! After shooting this video, I realized that I have several other songs that I have been listening to frequently, and it made me wish I had included those songs too. But I can use those songs in next month's video! Anyways, I hope you enjoy our video and the music.

 

 "Up" - Disney Star Darlings

"Feel Invincible" - Skillet (click here to see the official music video)

"Mexico" - Carrie Underwood

"Smoke and Fire" - Sabrina Carpenter (click here to see the official music video)

"Where's The Girl" - Original Cast of the Scarlet Pimpernel

If you enjoyed any of these songs, please leave us a comment below! We'd love to know if you enjoyed these recommendations, or want us to continue making more videos like this!

Have a great day!

~Kendra :)

P.S. Since I won't be posting tomorrow, have a great Independence Day!

8 Style Tips for Petite People

OK, people -- it's finally ready!

The video that I have been working on for about the past week is now uploaded and ready to be seen by the world! Katie M. asked for style advice geared towards more petite people, so I came up with eight tips for you to check out. I hope you find these helpful, Katie! I now proudly present to you my very first style advice video --

8 Style Tips for Petite People!

 

 

I tried to include some new features in this video, like annotations and a link, so I'm kind of excited about that. It took me a while to get it right, and it still isn't perfect, but it's the best I've got for now. I have to tell you though that these annotations will not show up on the video if you are watching on a tablet or mobile device. I don't understand why, but that it how YouTube has designed it. I tried to find a way to fix it by going to their "Help" section, but I only found that this lack of annotations is apparently normal on certain devices... So if you want to see the edits I made, please watch the above video on an actual computer.:P

I hope this video was enjoyable for you to watch. If it wasn't, and you have ideas about why that is, leave me a comment below with your input! If you did enjoy it, then leave a positive note for me. It would be greatly appreciated.:) If you aren't subscribed to our YouTube channel, then click the link and give us a follow! Our page is still under construction, but all of our videos from the blog are on there in one convenient place.

Thanks for watching!

Our First Q&A Video!

Hey, everybody!

 

So... Guess what? We now have our first Q&A video up! The first time we shot this video, it was over thirty minutes long. Way too long! So we reshot, and that second take is what you can watch below. We hope you enjoy it!

 

 

Katie M., as mentioned, I will be making a separate video to answer your style question. How cool is that -- you get an entire other video dedicated to you! If anybody has more questions for us (style or otherwise), leave them in the comments below, or shoot us an email at uniquelyyou4ever@gmail.com

Have a great day!

Smuggler's Bounty Unboxing: Bounty Hunter Theme

Hi, everybody! Today we have a new video for you! Emma and I got our Smuggler's Bounty boxes in the mail today, and we wanted to show you the unboxing of our new Star Wars treasures. If you don't know what Smuggler's Bounty is, it is a subscription box that comes in the mail every other month. Every box is Star Wars themed and contains exclusive items from the Funko company. This is our second time subscribing to receive these boxes. We had filmed ourselves unboxing our first boxes a couple months ago, but the video cut off before we had finished... Technology. Pfft.

But anyways, I hope you enjoy the video!

 

 

If you are interested in subscribing to these boxes for yourself, visit Smuggler's Bounty online to sign up for the July box. It's Jabba's Palace themed! And visit our YouTube channel to subscribe to our videos and get them even sooner than you will get them on our blog. ;)
