Unless you obsessively follow fashion blogs like I do, then the title of this post may not mean much to you.

Let me clue you in.

As I’ve recently discovered, a “Haul” video is one in which a shopper shares his or her purchases from a certain store. Sometimes sales or “deals” are the focus, other times, it’s just a way to show off a #shoppingwin.

So, not one to be left out, I decided to post my own haul video.

If only I had known what I was getting myself into.

Once upon a time (when I was teaching high-schoolers), I became fairly proficient at video editing. Not wanting to appear too “basic” in my first haul video, I took to iMovie to add some bells and whistles. That’s when I realized that I had not retained my teacher knowledge.

What I should have recorded was the hilarity that ensued as I yelled (and maybe cussed) at my computer screen for the better part of Saturday morning.  The result is by no means a stellar product but I decided that for my first haul, it would have to do.

Before you click play, here is my disclaimer –

The following video is long and the camera work, sub-par. The featured blogger, much to the chagrin of her junior high speech teacher and in spite of her college theatre training, says “uhm” way too much and may have mispronounced a word.

Enjoy at your own risk.
