- So today we are doing the big video photo shoot
for the dotted notebooks and the washi tape launch
for Shop AmandaRachLee which is so exciting.
I feel like I've been secretly hiding this from you guys
and working on it behind the scenes
and the fact that you guys are finally gonna see it
is super, super exciting.
(upbeat music)
I'm currently doing my makeup and getting ready
because I have to leave soon.
But the location that we're shooting at is super cute today.
So I'm gonna try to vlog behind the scenes
throughout the day so that you guys can kinda see
how we get all the cute photos and videos for the shop.
But yes, I'm gonna finish my makeup now.
(peaceful music)
All right, so I finished my makeup,
but we're gonna switch the outfit and the makeup
and the styling up, depending on the scene.
If that makes sense,
you guys will see as I film the rest of the day,
but the concept's really cool.
We have kinda like four different looks
for four different stationary vibes.
So let's finally head to the shoot.
I'm so excited.
So we're on set.
Look at how cute it is guys.
We're here, we're doing two outfits today
and then two tomorrow so it should be pretty fun.
But come here.
I want this to be my house.
And then of course we have the notebooks and the washi tapes
which are so cute.
And this matches my outfit right now so.
(peaceful music)
Getting ready for the second look.
I have this headband on which is very different for me.
We did all of our own styling
and makeup based off my closet.
That's the secret to taking photos
where your hands are gonna be in it.
A lot is cuticle oil.
Gotta make sure those cuticles are moisturized, my friends.
(peaceful music)
I broke my sunglasses.
These are my favorite pair.
I sat on them.
It was unfortunate,
but we're actually almost done for today.
This is the set that we filmed in for the second outfit
and it's my favorite one.
I just love it.
It's very like vintage inspired.
(peaceful music)
That is a wrap on day one, yay.
Applause, everyone applaud.
Okay, well, we did good today.
The photos look really cute.
I saw some sneak peeks of the video shots and photos
that we got and they look really good.
I can't wait to see the final thing.
Tomorrow we're still doing two different,
like looks slash scenes,
but today went really well.
We were super on schedule,
which is very strange for shoots.
Usually we run a little bit behind,
but today was good.
On to day two.
Day two of the shoot.
We're doing the first outfit.
This one is very like black and white.
So it matches the black.
I'm way more tired today.
I feel like yesterday.
Always on like the first day at the very beginning,
you're hyped up on adrenaline and now it's like hitting me
even though I went to bed pretty early, but that's okay.
We'll make it through.
(peaceful music)
I'm getting ready for the last look.
Look at how cute it is.
We decided to go for something quirky.
So I like put little like butterfly clips in my hair
and I have holographic freckles.
I feel like I'm in a music video or something,
but I'm just putting on the rest of my freckles.
They're actually star glitters that we put on
and I'm literally just using lip balm to stick them on.
But I think they turned out so cute
and the photos are gonna look really good with these on.
This one's like the quirkiest one out of all of them
so we're gonna go with all the pastel color washi tape sets
and kinda make it look like Alison Wonderland-y.
So those are the vibes.
(peaceful music)
We got so much stuff guys.
Like we have,
you might be seeing these video clips for a while,
just 'cause there's so much that we wanna share with you,
but hopefully you're okay with that.
That is a wrap on the entire dotted notebook
and washi tape video shoot.
I'm so tired, but I feel very satisfied.
Like I haven't even seen all the shots yet,
but I just feel like it's right in the world.
I feel very happy with how everything turned out
and the next step is for us to like edit it and all of that.
And obviously for you guys to see it.
So, I mean, by the time this vlog will come out,
you guys will have seen it already.
But now you know all of the hard work that went in
on the back end,
it really was a team effort so yay.
I'm gonna go home now in this glittery Coachella makeup
and live my best life because I like the way it turned out.
(upbeat music)
Oh my gosh, guys, today is launch day!
(Amanda cheering)
It sounds very exciting,
but I'm just sitting at my apartment.
I just woke up. It's almost 11:00 AM, which is launch time.
And I'm just sitting here waiting
to make everything go live.
And I just, I don't know what to do.
It feels kind of anti-climatic because-
Anticlimax, anticlimactic,
it feels kind of anti-climatic because,
you know, I did all this work and it's been taking
so long for it to finally come out
and then now that launch day is finally here,
I'm literally just alone in my apartment, clicking a button,
but I'm very excited for these to finally go live.
I don't know what to expect for the washi tapes.
Like I don't know whether we're gonna sell out or anything
or yeah, I don't know how it's gonna go.
I kind of have no expectations
just because it is kind of a different product launch for me
compared to the Doodle Planner.
We are also, of course, launching the dotted notebooks,
which a lot of people have been waiting for.
So it's just a big day here at AmandaRachLee HQ.
I have like 40 minutes to go before I click the button.
So I'm just gonna have some breakfast
and we'll just watch it all go down.
It was really fun last time when I did the launch
and I watched like the live visitors on the website,
which is really awesome.
So I wanted to do that again.
All right, yeah.
I'm gonna get some coffee.
I need it.
T minus 30 minutes, my friends.
I just remembered that I had vlogged the very beginning
of this entire process when I was looking at samples.
And now this is like the final sample box.
Finally got it in the mail.
Look at how good it looks.
Just says washi tape set,
and then on the back it says, keep doodling.
Yeah, there you go.
It just says keep doodling.
And then you have all of the metallic doodles on the box.
It looks so pretty.
I feel like I'm giving birth right now.
This is like truly a nine-month pregnancy.
And now these washi tapes are my babies.
Pushing them out into the world.
Okay, this is a weird analogy.
Why do I feel like I'm gonna mess up
even though I only need to click one button.
We got this, we got this.
So you can actually see the current amount of live visitors
on the website right now.
I guess all of these people are just waiting.
Someone from Germany, Czech Republic.
So cool.
Where else are you guys located here?
Wow, cool.
Okay, so all I need to do to make it go live
is click make products available.
We are currently.
Oh my gosh, 60 seconds away.
I'm gonna click it a couple seconds before 11,
just in case my wifi is slow.
I'm stressed.
Okay, 10, nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four, three, two.
Oh my gosh.
It's happening.
Guys, it's live.
Look on the website.
You can see the washi tapes.
They're all there.
All of the sets,
all of the dotted notebooks.
We did it.
Success, okay.
Oh my gosh.
I'm a little bit overwhelmed right now.
There's like 1000 people on the website
and we've already had many, many orders,
which is so, so awesome.
But I'm probably gonna end the vlog here.
You guys saw a lot of this entire process
from the photo shoot to now, finally, launch day.
Hope you enjoyed seeing behind the scenes.
If you guys are still interested in the washi tapes
or the dotted notebooks, I'm gonna leave a link down below.
Hopefully they are still available
by the time this video goes up.
And if you do want to know about like future products
and restocks and all of that, make sure you follow us
on the shop account, Shop AmandaRachLee.
But thank you guys so much for the support.
This is like a dream come true.
I never thought I would be able to launch
these types of products
and something that I'm genuinely proud of.
So it just means a lot that you guys are here
along for the ride.
Even if you didn't purchase anything,
your support and being there by my side,
throughout this entire process, it means a lot.
So thank you.
I love you, and keep doodling.
Bye guys.
