4) How high or low should my umbrella lights be?
5) How far should my mic be?

About Shameless Maya
"What would happen if I shamelessly promoted myself for 365 days?" My channel started out as a social media experiment, and now it's a lifestyle. I hope my journey from shame to shameless inspires you and others not to be ashamed of who you are and to share and celebrate that shamelessly. Here on my channel, you'll find videos on lifestyle, inspiration, fun transformations, techie vids for aspiring geeks, beauty, fashion, and so much more.

SHEESH! / THIRD: I've had my lights in the wrong position. Thank you for this! / FOURTH: I love you two together. Can't wait to see more collabs. / FIFTH: I know you've been busy doing the hustle, so I won't complain. I will say how great it is that you're back, and back w/ a Techie Tuesday vid. YUS!
