Strugglemeals, Crowdfund & USA trip!

HEY!

I hope you're doing well?

It’s been a busy old time recently, i’ve just got back from the USA and it’s been quite a Year of travelling indeed with some fun content made along the way!

CROWDFUND LAUNCH

In previous newsletters, I promised that as soon I had some information on a crowdfund i’d share it with you… well, that time is now! In the next Month i’ll be launching a crowdfund on Kickstarter for an original kitchen gadget concept i’ve come up with, I already have some video of the progress and it’s turned into something that could be multi-use. For now though if you’d like to be first to know when it launches, if you head to https://rollacoater.com/ you can put your email address in and it will be the first place to know when it goes live. I’m proud of it, but the crowdfund will only be complete once i’m delighted with it.

STUCK MIXING BOWLS

A few Months back I did a livestream with my Mum where we made a watermelon basket. It was a lot of fun, but when we finished up I stacked 2 mixing bowls together and they didn’t want to come unstuck. I have posted a series of videos over time and the Internet became way more obsessed with it than I thought they would! Here’s the first episode - the rest are on Instagram as per below but I put i also put then on YouTube Shorts and TikTok.

BRUSSELS & COPENHAGEN TRIPS!

This Year i’ve tried to travel a bit more, in fact content wise i’ve been to Belgium for a Brussels food trip and Tomorrowland after a very random invite from YouTube!

More recently Mrs B and I went to Copenhagen for a long weekend which was an incredibel trip and visited the Alchemist - one of the craziest restaurants in the World, we were in there for 6 hours and we ate actual butterflies!

USA TRIP

I’ve just got back from America though which was incredible experience, managing to film 7 videos out there in 11 nights, going all over the Country! My favourite video I filmed there which isn’t released yet is asking drive-thrus to surprise me, all i’m gonna say is the Twist at the iconic Randy’s donuts, was bonkers!There are quite a few exciting things happening behind the scenes at the moment.

I was able to collaborate with lots of creators out there too. And managed to make some content with Louisayyy, FreakinReviews, Uncle Roger & EmmyMade.

The first & only video i’ve released to date from the trip in Las Vegas was pretty fun where we reversed wine into water (or tried to!)…. it was literally bodged in a hotel room suite in Las Vegas, but worked out great considering!

YOUR STRUGGLE MEALS

A video I did recently which i’ve been asked to do a follow up to is asking for your struggle meals, perhaps those meals that at the end of the Month you bodge together before pay day with what you have around the house or a guilty pleasure nobody else understands, it had some interesting results!

Well, if you are reading this the day I mail it out, if you would like to submit YOUR idea please use this Google form, i’m going to pick another batch to work through!

MORE TO TELL YOU

There’s so much more to share with you, i’ve done some fun collaborations with Bella does editing and fun trips to Harrods and Gourmet Drive Thrus and i’m tempted to possibly post these each week to let you know what i’ve been up to. One of the creators I met in America does that, but i’m not sure if it would be too much, so i’ll give it some thought or maybe trial it and see what you think.

Of course all of my videos can be found on my website - https://barrylewis.net/ if you fancy a browse.

You can support the channel by supporting on either Patreon or YouTube memberships (it’s the same thing) https://barrylewis.net/join-the-club/ for behind the scenes (I share way too much info!), early access, advert free extended videos, signed giveaways, names in the credits, video Birthday shoutouts and more!

If you aren’t sure where to find me on other platforms, this linktree has all my social media links https://linktr.ee/barrylewis 

But for now, thanks for coming along for the journey, please consider putting your name down to keep an eye on the crowdfund. I’m really excited to launch an original product and see what people think! It really has improved significantly from the first concept, but i’ll be showing all that in progress videos.

I hope you have a lovely week. Cheers for reading, i’m not great at typing these things out so if you’ve made it to here, it means my English teacher isn’t too angry with me!

Take care,

Barry
