Here we go!
My first foray into the Vlogging world and boy was it a turbulent yet strangely rewarding adventure.
Learning how to edit my #ASKPEANUT video in iMovie proved to be quite the challenge and certainly stretched my itty bitty technical skills beyonds its itty bitty capabilities. But just like the beginnings of anything new, you simply have to start. One foot in front of the other and trust that practice doesn’t necessarily make perfect but it sure as heck makes progress!
Today’s video is all about HOW TO UNLEASH YOUR INNER BLOGGER or more specifically, overcoming your fears of judgment and bravely putting yourself out there.
But the beauty of stepping outside of your comfort zone is that all kinds of fabulous growth, lessons and progress begin to buzz in your being. (even if you aren’t aware of it immediately).
“There is no comfort in the growth zone but there is no growth in the comfort zone”.
And if you are someone who is on the precipice of starting something new, whether it be a new hobby, new exercise routine or even a business idea and are feeling held back by your own fears, doubts, procrastination and overwhelm, please please please give yourself the permission to start.
Start small and start simply. Because the alternative to starting is doing nothing.
On that note, let’s begin! Press play and watch away. Who knows? I might just be that little kick in the butt you needed to go ahead and start!
I hope you enjoyed my very first #ASKPEANUT video!

Brilliant vlog Gemma, you’re a natural at it. Great blogging tips too! Even now 2 years after starting my blog I still have days when I think really, do people really want to see me when I post pictures of myself in fashion posts but fashion is something I enjoy so I stick with it.

I totally understand and it still crosses my mind too. But like you, fashion is a passion of mine and it’s ok to share it loud and proud. x
Brilliant Gem – such a superstar, the camera (and I) love you! You are made for vlogging! Would love to see more, keep up the amazing work xxx
Thank you for gorgeous Sammi. Really appreciate your words of support!
Sending love x
Thanks for the great Vlog Gem, and it’s so good to hear you again as well as see you in your amazing photographs. Just wish I had the discipline to maintain a blog, and I suspect my two passions of sport and politics may attract a few more led than complimentary comments ;). Oh, and a message from my 82 year old mum who watched the Vlog with me: she thinks you’ve got a really cool fireplace behind you! Look forward as always to the next peanut gallery update. x
Thanks Tim, greatly appreciate the support. And thanks to your mum for her keen eye! x
I love your video! perfect advice, you are so natural behind the camera!
Gemma, you are hilarious!!!
I’m so grateful I’ve come across your blog – I’ve spent two months playing with my blog, but haven’t yet hit publish!!!
You’ve inspired me to do it… (by Sunday!)

Don’t delay hit that publish button Publish right away! Don’t be afraid just do it. I have to take a deep breath every time before I hit that blasted button! Love Gem x
