A few months ago at Britmums Live, I met the PR company for Aveeno who told us about their products and new book – The Dry-ventures of Ellie & Eddie. We are no strangers to Aveeno as Mr K has been using Aveeno since he was three years old and he is on a regular prescription for all the Aveeno products.
Aveeno keeps his skin moisturised to reduce the frequency of flare-ups. The AVEENO® range for dry, sensitive skin is designed to help in the management of this challenging skin condition. AVEENO® products containing Colloidal Oatmeal are clinically proven to help restore the epidermal barrier (the top layer of skin) leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable. Oats have long been known for their soothing and anti-irritant properties, with oat proteins leaving a protective barrier on the skin which prevents water loss and maintains moisture.

Earlier this year, I was attended Britsmum Live and met Nigel Camp thru his Hands-on Video session where he gave us tips on how to make better videos. It was a very impressive and powerful talk. He gave me encouragement and ideas on how to create better content for my videos. Comparing my older videos to the present ones, I think I have taken most of his advice on board. My latest video is no longer just the product on its own. I have come out of my shell to show the audience who is behind those big hands. Also I don’t just take the same angled shots. I’ve experimented shooting at different angles to emphasise the product.
Since his session, I invested in developing my own intro (at the start of my video reviews) to tell people about my website and brand. I also have an outro to tell people my social media avenues and where to subscribe my channel. Do click here if you wish to subscribe!
I believe that using video is a lot easier to show your audience your brand and product. I enjoyed vlogged and hope to improve on creating great video reviews.
