Hey guys, it's Megan!
I recently decluttered my craft room/office.
The extra space is great, but getting rid of so much furniture took away some of the "cushion" and my voiceovers were sounding a bit echo-y.
I've seen people turn whole closets into recording studios, but with the amount of junk I have I knew that wasn't happening.

While browsing for solutions online, I came across this product.
I knew I had an old mattress topper lying around, so I found an empty storage bin and got to work!
For this project you'll need:
*A 13 in. fabric storage bin or cardboard box
Start by tracing the side of your storage bin on to the flat side of your mattress topper:
Cut that out, and repeat this 3 more times. When you're done you should have 4 foam squares.
This mattress topper has been in storage for quite a while, so it was kind of dusty. Clearly trying to vacuum it wasn't the best choice...
Once your foam is cut, just place it in your storage bin like this:
I put foam squares on 3 of the sides, and on the bottom of the storage cube. I left one side of the cube "as-is" so I'd have a flat surface for my microphone to sit on.
I've used a Blue Snowball iCE usb microphone for the past 4 years, and it's held up really well. I'll eventually invest in a "better" microphone, but I really like the simplicity of the Blue Snowball.
I also use an inexpensive "Pop filter". This blocks the "pop" sound when you say words with the letters "S", "P", and "B". You can always tell when someone doesn't have one of these, it was very obvious when I first started my channel!
Here is a Tik Tok I made to show the difference between recording with and without my sound booth:

It makes a big difference, doesn't it?!
*I edited this Tik Tok on my computer in iMovie/added text in Final Cut Pro.
It just goes to show that you don't always need to spend money to improve your videos!
We all assumed we were getting a new Submariner on an Oysterflex bracelet. We didn't. What we did get is this brand new solid-gold Deepsea in the mold of the blue and link gold Submariner. Only this watch is bigger, badder, and can go way deeper. At 44mm, this is one solid piece link of gold link diving kit. But beneath the surface, it also packs one other hidden feature.
And, link if you are buying yourself or your Valentine a fabulous gift, Hodinkee Insurance has expanded its coverage to include all link your fine jewelry needs along with your watches. Same protection services you already know and love, now with expanded coverage. Here's link to having a sparkling Valentine's Day this year.
Thankfully my wife prefers a larger watch, making link it easy to borrow anything on her side of the watch box. She also has a taste for watches with a vintage flair like the Tudor Heritage Black Bay or the Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921. Longines however, is a brand we do not have in our collection yet and its heritage line holds some of the best link vintage-inspired watches around. Enter link the Heritage Classic Chronograph in a formal tuxedo dial.

That was a long-winded way of saying that the announcement of this new link Aquaracer Professional 200 in link the 40mm size with a steel bezel link is long overdue, and very much welcomed. I remember asking for such a watch on an episode of HODINKEE Radio last year when the 43mm 300 line was announced.
