Late 20s Diaries Ep. 13 | Mastering My Vlog Setup & Facebook Marketplace Drama

Hey everyone! Welcome back to Episode 13 of *Late 20s Diaries*! Today, I'm diving deep into my new filming setup and all the changes I've been experimenting with. So, here's the scoop: I've been playing around with my camera exposure settings, and I discovered something game-changing thanks to Holly Reardon on TikTok. She uses an exposure setting of -7 for her TikToks, and I decided to try it out for my YouTube vlogs. And let me tell you, it has made all the difference! My skin looks more even and flawless—no more crazy overexposed shots. This new exposure setting gives my vlogs a moody, cohesive vibe that I absolutely love.

We’re also aiming to keep our vlogs around 20 minutes, but you know how it goes when the stories get juicy! The editing process is getting tighter, and I’m really focusing on making the visuals and the text on screen more engaging. I’m putting in a lot of effort to make sure my vlogging setup and editing skills are on point so you all stay entertained and keep coming back for more. Late 20s Diaries is turning into a genuine reflection of my life—a space for me to share everything, from the drama to the mundane, with those of you who want to follow along.

And speaking of drama, let me tell you about my recent adventure with Facebook Marketplace drop-offs in Redmond and Bellevue. Let’s just say it was an experience I won’t be repeating anytime soon! The first drop-off went smoothly—I met a super sweet person who coincidentally has a dog that looks just like mine. But the second drop-off? A total nightmare. I ended up waiting in the rain for an extra hour! So yeah, no more Facebook Marketplace drop-offs for me.

Thanks for watching and sticking around! Make sure to keep up with my lifestyle vlogs and follow me on my socials:
