Make A Home with Voucher Codes + Unite Students




After some last minute planning - and a whole bag of nerves - I'm pleased to say I've finally made my video debut! And I don't think the results are half bad either. Along with bloggers Lucy, Kathryn, Gem + Lisa, I was invited to take part in the new student campaign for Voucher Codes and Unite Students. The idea behind VC Made A Home was for each blogger to decorate a student flat with a budget of £100. It could easily be done but if you actually want it look look nice and feel relaxing this it's no mean feat.


We were up for the challenge and I think we all did brilliantly. Our are rooms really shows each blogger's personality and hopefully the advice has been helpful to any new students or folks sticking to a tight budget. I decided to stick to a relaxed colour scheme of yellows and greys, searched discount stores like Tiger Tiger good old Wilcos, and brought loads of little things from home, which helped to keep the budget down. 

Like I said, I was pretty nervous but hopefully this has given me the confidence to give video blogging a go!

What do you think guys, how did we all do?!

  7. That was a great video, and awesome design tips on decorating on a budget. I don't think I would have chosen yellow myself, but you've convinced me otherwise!

  10. I caught this on the Voucher codes site and loved it! It's such a great feature and you come across really well on camera! Very well spoken and you didn't seem nervous at all - defo a great voiceover voice haha! I've started doing some more video stuff but I'm not brave enough to actually speak on camera just yet - maybe one day!

    Hope you do more video content soon!

  20. I spent about four years of my life modeling and was always uncomfortable in front of a filming camera... There's something about video that makes you feel self-conscious. But you know what? It never shows through the way you think it does? You didn't seem nervous, just: approachable, friendly, and down-to-Earth. Those are all good things!
