I have moved my vlog channel
I have moved my vlogs to a new channel that will be only me, and not part of Lean and Loo. We decided our content will differ so much as Loo moves to South Korea it is better to split them off. So bear with me while old vlogs are republished on the new channel. If you want to know what is going on in my life, this will be the spot to do it.

Introducing Surprise Mail on my Youtube Channel
This is just a little blog for the surprise mail feature on my videos once a week. Watch out for them as I will do it often.
If you don’t know what that is, it’s basically me gifting the item I made in that video to a watcher by selecting them at random from my mailing list. It could be anyone on that list!!!
Just go to the sign up form to become an email subscriber – http://eepurl.com/gCqo7r
In the message bar, you want to write SURPRISE MAIL, and if you want to be a surprise receiver without being contacted first, then leave your address, too. That means if you win I can look it up and pop it in the mail as a nice little surprise.
To share your gifts use the hashtag #LTMARSHALL on social media and I will always see them. Or you can tag me on any of my profiles.
You don’t need to leave an address if you want to be contacted for it in the future. All data is received through the third-party app Mailchimp, which ensures your personal information is safe and looked after per regulations stipulated by governing authorities. The only time I need to retrieve your address is to send you a surprise. If you no longer want to be included in the draw, you can unsubscribe in any of the emails from me. At the very bottom is an unsubscribe button.
This mailing list also means you will receive occasional emails from us at Lean and Loo with sales, freebies and sometimes video links.
To be in with a chance of a win stay on the list and I will be sure to always use the list to pick a winner. You only need to sign up once to be entered into all future draws.
The very first video should be going live on Youtube today for a cute little vintage pocket tag.
