Facial with blood from my arm? Yep! Microneedling with PRP: the Experience

  • Post category:Video

https://youtu.be/ZhzYaS2Yj7c Hello everybody,    I recently had my first microneedling with PRP treatment, a.k.a. "vampire facial."Why did I do it? Mainly out of curiosity. I had tried microneedling before, but never with my own blood. It sounded pretty cool. I was psyched that they allowed me to film the whole process, so please enjoy!  If you can't watch just now, here's the gist of it: First, they put numbing cream on my face. While I was waiting for it to…

  • Post category:Video

https://youtu.be/xjfSd7FTSRI I had a BLAST hanging out with Angie. As you'll see in the video, she is one of the most fun, down-to-earth people you could imagine.  When we finally sat down to catch up, I didn't have a list of questions prepared. I thought maybe we'd talk about the real estate market, or the the insurance biz in LA...or things related to quarantine life. But then the camera started rolling and things just kind…

It’s Not About The SIZE, It’s How You Use It: GoPro Hero 7 for newbies

  • Post category:Video

https://youtu.be/5AOgK3q9R2s  In February I got my first GoPro. It's a Hero 7.  I filmed the unboxing before my trip to Cuba. As you can see in the video, I was surprised by how small it really is. The videos I'd seen of it always seemed to make it look bigger(!) The size was a bit of a surprise, but once I got over that I started watching a ton of Youtube video tutorials on how to use…

https://youtu.be/25wzApSHZYYHey everybody!  A few videos ago I talked about common mistakes I see in English writing.Here is one of them:https://youtu.be/AP2gUskPwEoHere is a second one: https://youtu.be/tsPnjbn3KFA The thing is, some people see these videos and say "I could care less about my writing, as long as people get what I mean."Let's stop right there.You could care less? Don't you mean "I couldn't care less?"Because if you could care less, it means that you do care...at least a little bit.

Can You PRONOUNCE Qatar, Bahrain, and other Arabic Names? Let’s Review.

https://youtu.be/sMdbWlAQgSUI was recently talking with a friend about the upcoming FIFA World Cup in 2022 which will take place in Doha, Qatar. My friend expressed a sense of awe at my pronunciation of Qatar ("ooh that sounds so fancy!") -- well, the Arabic name does sound a bit..authentic...but that's because it's an Arabic word to begin with.  After that conversation, I thought it would be a great topic to delve into for this week's video.  I think…

Arabic Tattoos: Advice and MY Tattoo Story (from your fave translator)

  • Post category:Video

https://youtu.be/dVMz1fxP4A8 Hey everybody!  I recently re-watched the Arabic tattoo video I did about 3 years ago (if you haven't seen it, here it is: https://youtu.be/6sTZB4oaIYs One of the first things I noticed is how much quieter my voice is compared to the videos I do now. Sorry about that-- had a very sensitive neighbor who would bang on the shared wall if I was being too loud, so had to muffle things a bit.  Anyway, I re-watched the video and…
