Uploaded April 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
After vlogging almost every day last year (2025), I realized that I couldn’t realistically keep that up but would miss vlogging if I stopped cold turkey. This attempt is my compromise for this year. This month, I sporadically recorded over a couple of weeks at the beginning of the month. I know this is a LONG ONE…I do apologize.
