Hello my friends! Firstly, apologies for not posting regularly on my blog. I have been taking a bit of hiatus mainly because I have been working hard on other projects which I am SO excited to share with you.
One of the first reasons for the irregularity of my blog was because I was on holiday! But of course, vacations are the best spots to take a bunch of photos and have all the time in the world to blog, Instagram and do some serious damage on social media overload, amirite? Like is there enough #instaworthy cafes and pizzas and blue ocean at your disposal? The answer is yes but sometimes the nicest and most helpful thing can be take a break from it all and switch off. Switching off is different for everyone and obviously comes in varying levels. My version of switching off was not posting any photos to my actual Instagram page or my blog for the first two weeks of my trip whilst in Morocco.
Honestly I didn’t actually plan to do this but it sort of happened because I wasn’t accessing my laptop or using DSLR camera too much! I was definitely still taking iPhone photos and uploading to my Insta Stories. When I reached Italy I started posting a bit more and brought back my consistency again. I would totally recommend taking a break from all the online socials once in a while and your vacation is the perfect time to do it even if just for a few days (or hours lol).
Now to share with you what I have been working on! I have started a YouTube channel!!! My channel will be fashion-based and will cover beauty and lifestyle further down the track. I am seriously excited about this but also a bit nervous. It is definitely a nerve-wracking experience to put yourself out their into the online space and it is a bit different to blogging and Instagram.
Blogging is more so putting your writing, thoughts (and sometimes photography) into the space and Instagram is more so photography and you can be as much or as little interactive as you like.
For YouTube (depending on what your channel is about), your personality is kind of a big deal. Plus starting out is definitely tough. Learning all about lighting, camera settings, talking to a camera, feeling awkward and the confusing realm of editing is all part of the process. But the beginning of a new adventure is always the most exciting. I am so intrigued to look back in two years’ time or even a year and see how much I have improved!
MY YOUTUBE VIDEO
So here is my second Youtube video, it consists of a denim lookbook to inspire you in new ways to style the denim pieces you already have in your closet! Obviously I am a denim addict as you know, safe to say I really have a jean obsession. I have linked all the clothes I’m wearing in the Description box on the video.
Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel so that you will see all of my new videos!
Much Love,
Rubi
I loved the video, babe! Your outfits are always on point!

Welcome back and I totally understand what you mean about taking a break even when on holiday. It’s great to have amazing content but you also have to live in the moment and enjoy your time without worrying about posting or getting the perfect Instagram worthy shot. Congrats on your YouTube Channel babe! That is so exciting and I can’t wait to check it out as I am a denim lover as well! xoxo, Christine

Thanks for the lovely comment Christine! Isn’t it great to just have a break from everything once in a while? Thanks for watching the video, hope you got some denim inspo from it! xx
Congratulations for starting your YouTube channel!! Loved the lookbook video! This is such a fab outfit! I hope you had fun in your trip, just like you I too somehow happen to go off from social media when on vacay and I guess it’s the best retreat 🙂

Thanks so much, so happy you enjoyed the lookbook! It definitely is totally necessary to take a social media detox from time to time right?!
I love wearing denim all the time whether it’s jeans or a leather jacket. I enjoyed watching your video, I think my favorite look was the sweater with eggs or toast. So cute!

Thanks Amanda! Haha I love that sweater too, its actually the Fendi Monster Eyes, it does look so much like eggs on toast now that you mention it :’)

This lookbook video is so cute! I adore the denim jacket over the white top and skirt. I don’t blame you for taking a break and not posting when you were on holiday- it pays to switch off every once and a while.
