24 Youtubers You Need To Be Subscribed To

Welcome to a new post!

If you are reading this blog post right now, it's very likely that you enjoy watching youtubers as much as I do. I don't know what it is that's so fascinating about these videos, but I guess in a way we can all relate to them. There's a huge variety of different youtubers out there, creating content on anything a person could want. A lot of older people seem to think it's stupid, but there's a lot of good content out there, and you can learn a lot if you watch the right videos.

It's been a long time since I talked about my favourite bloggers, so I thought it was time we talked about some of my current favourite youtubers as well. Yes, I watch a lot of women, but that's not because I don't like or watch men's videos. These are just the people that I am currently watching the most. Let's hope you might find some inspiration as well. You might notice that not all of these people have millions of subscribers, but to me that is of no importance. The quality of the content counts to me.

1) Sasha / abooktuopia

Sasha is one of my favourite booktubers out there, and now that she's about to publish her first novel I get even more exited about her videos! She seems like such a nice person, and her book shelf is what one would literally call goals. If you're a book lover, Sasha's channel is perfect for you.

2) Anna Saccone-Joly

Just a few days ago Anna gave birth to her third child, and I am so happy for her and Jonathan. She does a variety of videos - from mum stuff, to life, fitness and fashion. You don't have to be a mum to love her channel.

3) Ariel Bissett

Ariel is another booktuber on my list, who I actually haven't been watching for that long, but I am really enjoying her videos. She often does very original and helpful videos, it's not just all about book hauls and tbr's, which I find so refreshing.

4) Molly / Beauty Spectrum

Whether you enjoy beauty or fun videos, or you just love a vlog. Molly's channel is perfect for you. Her vlogs are some of my favourites at the moment, so I would totally recommend you check those out.

5) Danielle Peazer

Don't think I have to say much about this beauty. She's the queen. Subscribe to her. Now.

6) Eve Bennett

This  beautiful and very intelligent girl has been brightening up my subscription box since pretty much the start of her channel, and I still really enjoy her videos. She also does beautiful vlogs and has recently started a revision channel as well, which is so helpful, because if one knows how to get good grades - it's Eve.

7) Fabulous Hannah

I started watching Hannah's videos at some point last year, and I love how down to earth and kind she is. You can tell that she's putting a lot of work into the things she's passionate about, and she deserves a lot more subscribers.

8) Jess & Gabriel

I've only been watching these beauties since the last few days of 2016, but oh my god I am in love. Their journey together is so beautiful and inspiring, and their vlogs are just awesome! They recently got themselves a puppy, which makes their vlogs even more awesome.

9) Gabriella Lindley

Some hate her for her opinions, but I still love her videos. Gabby has a lot of opinions that might not suit a traditional mindset, but I love that she doesn't think about things the same way that everyone else does, and rather creates her own opinion on things. She's so relatable, and that's just so good to see.

10) The Michalaks

Ask me for the best vlogger(s) in the world - here's my answer. I can't believe that their channel doesn't have millions of subscribers, because I don't know any other youtuber that puts that much work into their content. Want something to brighten up your day - watch the Michalaks. Want something to calm you done because you're about to have a melt down about your practical driving test - watch the Michalaks. These vlogs are literally like films, and sometimes I find myself getting upset that I don't have videos like that about my childhood, and that I will probably never be able to do something like this myself. Watch. The. Michalaks.

11) Suzie / Hello October

Suzie is such an adorable person. I really wish I could meet her. There aren't a lot of beauty/fashion videos out there that I enjoy at the moment, but Suzie's are still somehow unique and so beautifully done. If you are looking for someone new in this area, definitely have a look at her. You definitely won't regret it.

12) Jack Edwards

A guy that loves literature and also does fun lifestyle videos and has a blog. What else could you possibly want in a male youtuber. He's a really nice guy and will always give you a good book recommendation if you need it. But keep in mind that you don't need to love books to find some awesome content on his channel.

13) Jacko Brazier

Bloody hell, this Australian guy is crazy. But crazy in a cute way somehow. He can sing and he does some pretty cool vlogs. Yes, please!

14) Katytastic

If you love books and vlogs - these videos are for you. I love love Kat's book hauls, even if she's just showing a bunch of books into the camera. Also, if you're doing NaNoWriMo, she always does some videos about this as well, which is really good.

15) Lily Pebbles

To this day I don't know how Lily doesn't have millions of followers. Her videos are unique and there's so much work and thought put into it. I love it, even her beauty videos. I love that she's not trying to do what everyone else does and goes for the things she's actually interested in instead.

16) Catriona / Little Book Owl

I love book hauls if you couldn't already tell, and I love Catriona's videos. Her's are usually not as long, which is a little sad, but there is something about her character that is very appealing and very beautiful to see. Also, she does love a little unboxing video.

17) Mark Ferris

Mark isn't one to do the typical videos. He's such a relatable, funny and nice guy, and always has a smile on his face. He talks about whatever is moving him, and whatever he thinks could be talked about. Whether it's a Primark Haul or a helpful chit chat. Mark isn't one to do the typical lifestyle/vlog male youtuber videos. He has put his own twist to them and that's awesome.

18) Sam Carr

Yes, Sam is mentioned quite often on my blog. But I just don't understand how this kind and beautiful human only has like 2K subscribers. Like what. He puts so much work into his videos and he's such a nice guy, and soo relatable. Subscribe, quick.

19) Niomi Smart

Niomi is not only a beautiful and kind human, but she also knows so much about fitness and vegan/organic food. I love how much knowledge she has, and that she doesn't do what everyone else does. I live for her food videos, because this lady deffo knows how to use a kitchen.

20) Samantha Maria

Sammy is the one to turn to, especially when it comes to fashion and advice videos. She's also recently become a mum, and her vlogs are really beautifully done, even when they're just home vlogs from time to time.

21) Louise Pentland / Sprinkle of Glitter

Louise is probably the queen of crafts, craziness and mummy stuff on YouTube. She also does really nice vlogs and is currently working on her second novel. I think we'd all enjoy spending some time with her in real life. She's so good at giving advice, as well.

22) Tanya Burr

Don't think I need to tell you much about this adorable, stunning woman. She does really beautiful videos, she dresses really well and she can always brighten up a day with her vlogs.

23)  Anna / The Anna Edit

Just like Lily Pebbles, I don't understand why she doesn't have millions of followers. She puts a lot of work and thought into her videos and they are very unique. She's such a relatable human, and she does everything from food to fashion to fitness and lifestyle. There's something for everyone.

24) Zoe Sugg / Zoella

Don't think there's much that needs to be said about the queen of YouTube. Her main channel videos are awesome, funny and inspiring, and her vlogs are just the best things in the world. Goals.

~

I hope you found some new inspiration for your own subscriptions. What are some of your favourite youtubers? What kind of genre and videos do you enjoy most?

Have a beautiful start to the new week ♥

3 (V)Bloggers That Deserve More Recognition

Welcome to a new post!

I love reading blogs, and as you are reading this right now, there's a high chance that you do too. Yet, over the years it has become pretty difficult for people to grow their blogs and YouTube channels without having any connections, mainly because this industry has grown so quickly, and there are already so many people out there doing the same thing.
You have to stand out, be able to promote yourself properly, be recognized by many people, and some need that bit of a push by someone who already is a popular blogger or vlogger. I don't mean to criticize anyone with these words, that just seem to be the ways to get your blog big nowadays, and it's really nice that so many people get this opportunity.

However, I am always on the hunt for some smaller blogs and channels, because I feel like it's a nice thing to watch and read some people's words that haven't been thrown to the top of the line yet. Today, I would like to talk to you about 3 bloggers/vloggers that I really think deserve more attention and recognition from people. I've been following all three of these for quite a while now, and I just think it's sad to see how little their blogs and channels still are even though they produce such awesome and high quality content.

Sam Carr

I first started following Sam back in 2014. Back then there were no fan accounts for him, which just seems so crazy to me that now he has. But he deserves it, because he's truly a really nice guy and he puts a lot of love and work into his videos.
He does a lot of travel videos and vlogs alongside with other lifestyle bits on his YouTube channel. And let me tell you, that guy knows how to use a camera. It happens quite regularly that I find myself scrolling through his Twitter picture feed or his Instagram feed. His photography is absolutely stunning.
You really don't have to be a boy to like his channel, because it truly is channel for anyone. He's very down to earth and so relatable for a lot of young people, because he doesn't only show the good side of things.
If you just love a travel video, a vlog, a nice chat about something and photography/videography, definitely check out his channel and his Social Media, because I think you'll definitely enjoy your time there. Oh, and by the way, he just re-launched his new blog last night!
(Wow, that was really strange to write somehow. He's probably annoyed of me spamming him by now anyway haha. Sorry Sam. 😂)

Emily Bashforth

I met this lovely girl when I first started a second fan account and we still talk from time to time. She's 17 years old, yet I'd call her more intelligent than some people twice her age. She blogs about a lot of different things, definitely showing a passion in the fight for equality and fairness. She loves a nice fangirl blogpost, she loves a music related one, a fashion related one but she definitely loves the deep posts a lot.
Emily is the kind of girl that can drop three blogposts a day completely randomly after not posting a few days and you just sit there annoyed at yourself because you can't even bring up the motivation to write one haha.
She talks about a wide range of things, she loves writing and you can definitely tell that she does these things with a passion. You can see how much thought and time she puts into her blogposts and that's so amazing to see. She's honestly one of the nicest people I've met online, and I don't really know how anyone could hate this girl. Have a look at her blog, you won't regret it. Whether you enjoy music, fashion, travel, rant posts about feminism or abortion for example, or anything else, you will definitely enjoy your time on there! :)

Emily Rose

I really don't know how Emily only has 15K subscribers on YouTube. I mean that's not a very small number if you imagined all of those people in one place, but looking at many other channels, it is quite small, which I personally find kind of sad.
Emily does really lovely videos. I am not watching many beauty related videos nowadays, but hers are some that I still enjoy watching. Her videos are very well made and beautiful, and I just don't know how there aren't more people that know about and enjoy her videos.
She also pops in a vlog here and there, and I mean - who doesn't love a good vlog? Whether it's a Shoutout To My Ex make-up tutorial, a Lush haul, a favourites video, the regular haul or a Q&A - if you like any of these things, have a look at Emily's channel, because you will definitely enjoy it.
She deserves a lot more recognition for the quality of her videos.
And before I forget it, she also owns a blog, where she often does little life updates, which I personally really like to see, because sometimes you just need something in a written down way instead of seeing it in a video.

I really hope I sparked your interest, because I truly think that these people deserve a lot more recognition than they're currently getting. I can't believe that these people who put so much work and passion into their channels have so little followers. They deserve a lot more. This industry can be so hard on smaller channels nowadays, why I think it's important that we don't only support the big channels and people. You should support those ones too, but these people that put just as much work in as some of those, which is why they definitely deserve to be recognized by people.

Do you know any other bloggers or vloggers that deserve more recognition?

Have a great day ♥

What The Hell Is NaNoWriMo And Why Is It So Amazing

Welcome to a new post!

Today's one is a little different to my recent posts, as today I want to focus on one of my biggest passions: writing. When I first found out about this weirdly named thing called NaNoWriMo I got so exited I came up with the whole plot in less than a week even though it was the middle of July.

Some of you might have clicked on this blogpost, not having any idea what to expect or what the hell NaNoWriMo is. So let's clear this up first. NaNoWriMo stand for National Novel Writing Month. Each November millions of writers from all around the world make it a challenge to each write a book of at least 50,000 words in 30 days.

If you think that's easy you've either written way too many books already in this time or you have got no idea. Life loves getting in the way during these days, but it's honestly the most amazing thing to do besides studying, working, socializing.

It's an opportunity for writers to finally write that one idea they might have had in their head for month, others that just have that one topic they always wanted to write about, others perfectly plan out their story and plot beforehand,  and then there are the panters that go into NaNoWriMo, with no clue what they are going to write about. 50,000 words in 30 days equals about 1,667 words a day, which is totally manageable.

I've already done NaNoWriMo twice before, and won both times (winning in this case means getting those 50K in before it hits December). Even though I usually have a lot of school stuff happening during this time, and I really thought I couldn't do it, I still found a way. That ended up in a lot of late night writing, but it's gives you such a nice feeling to still have been able to manage to create something like this at a busy time.

So why the hell is she writing this in October? Because it's what participants call NaNo Prep month/time. The people that don't "pant" it, start coming up and prepping their ideas in order to know what they are planning on doing. If you plan on participating, and you've got quite a busy schedule, I recommend you doing this, as it will take a lot of pressure off of you if you actually get competetive about it. But that is all up to you.

What's also really lovely about the whole challenge is, that due to so many people taking part of it, there's a huge motivating community. I personally love going through the hashtag on Instagram and Twitter to motivate myself, especially when I don't feel like writing at all that day. There's also a NaNoWriMo website on which you can count your words, get your winners certificate, special offers when you win, find writing buddies on, as well as prepping and writing helps, and soooo much more stuff. I don't think I would have fought through it if I wouldn't have seen other people's process, struggle and participation to motivate myself to keep going.

But to be honest in the end you will also need to motivate yourself from time to time. You need to remind yourself why you want to do this. Why is it that you want to write this story? What motivates you? Would you like to publish your stories one day? Are you doing it to explore something new? Are you doing it because you want to spend time with someone and learn about their interests by trying them out yourself? Any reason is right. There is no wrong reason why you want to write. You need to keep that goal inside your head, put it on a piece of paper and out it up somewhere in your room if you feel like it will inspire you to keep on writing. There's always a way.

It's not an easy thing to do, because 30 days can turn out being preeeetty long when you are trying to get a certain amount of words done each day and still want to it to turn out well and have a life beside all of that writing. Life will get in the way on some days, writers block will kick in at some points, the feelings of doubt and failure when you aren't happy with your result or you haven't reached a certain goal. But guys, that's okay. That happens to all of us, whether you write or not.

This month of writing is not about writing a book that is perfect and ready for publishing. This is about creating a shitty first draft that will then hopefully lead to a perfect story that is ready for publishing afterwards if you end up editing it and perfecting it. It's all about getting those words out of your mind onto paper and having a first storyline. You don't edit during this month. You simply write down everything that comes to your mind, as shitty as those words and the plot may sound to you. Editing starts in Dezember. November is the time that you sprinkle your whole fantasy on the paper without rethinking everything that you just wrote and thinking you are most terrible writer this world has ever seen. Because you are not. If you wouldn't enjoy writing, there's a pretty low chance that you would actually start NaNoWriMo anyway, unless you are being forced to do so, I guess.

If you have any interest or passion in writing, I truly recommend you to try this out. Me and millions of other people on this planet have found it to be so rewarding, even if it can be tough from time to time, and I'm pretty sure you will think so as well. If you still aren't completely convinced or you've got any questions, I will leave a few links at the end for you to check out to find out more and get inspired and motivated to take part.

I'm really really sorry if this whole post is a complete mess because I've been writing it over a few days with breaks in between, and my thoughts often get really messy when I'm passionate about something. I also just plotted a whole background story that will play a huge role and includes coming up with a fictional war, so my thoughts are all over the place right now. I'm really sorry if you don't even get what the hell I am talking about. If you have made it till here, I congratulate you. Here's 100 dancing sprinkles to you! :D

Basically what I am trying to say with this post is, that it's an incredible for any people that have any interest in writing to live out that dream. You don't need to force yourself for years to jot down that one idea you had once upon a time and really liked, but keep putting off to write, and keep stopping whenever you've done a little something. It's the perfect opportunity to finally motivate yourself to write and get that idea out of your head and onto paper.

NaNoWriMo has lead to the success of many authors, such as Rainbow Rowell for example. Whether you are doing this for fun or because you really want to earn your money by writing books one day, November is the perfect time to do it. Now get the hell off of this probably very boring blogpost and get writing! Let your creativity flow and let's create masterpieces together!

I will link my NaNoWriMo profile HERE which you can check out if you want. Here is also a list of my favourite places to find inspiration and motivation on.

My Style Inspirations

Welcome to a new post!

Even though I never do outfit posts, I love fashion a hell of a lot. I love seeing what people wear, and I could scroll through fashion posts on both blogs and social media all day long. I am pretty sure, some of you will agree with me.

I'm still trying to find my style. I know what I like, but I am still in the bit where I am experimenting with different stuff. However, I have a few people that I like to look at when I am not sure what to wear, or simply when I feel like finding new inspiration for future outfits.

You'll be able to tell that most of these are blogger and/or youtubers, but I guess that's normal since they've been taking up quite a piece of my life for the past few years. I thought today was the perfect day to show you who I am talking about, and who inspires me. Maybe after writing this I'll finally be able to decide which of those pieces I ordered I want to keep, and which I want to send back...:D

Danielle Peazer

If you've been following this blog for quite a while and/or you know me in the slightest, you will either be smiling or annoyed that I am mentioning Danielle again. I'm sorry but I've been pretty obsessed with this pretty human for around four years now, and so far I can't see the end to that. I love how many different perspectives Danielle puts into her style. One day you'll see her in pretty workout clothes, others in majorly patterned culottes, the next in the most flattering dress or a smart shirt and a blazer. Her style is so versatile, and I am in love with it.

Jade Thirlwall

Danielle's roommate and member of my favourite girl band - I had to mention Jade. She always surprises me with her looks. This lady even rocks Disney outfits. Jade's style is very much like mine has been for quite a while. Cute and floaty, but elegant or rocky whenever needed. I don't even know what else to write, but if you've ever stalked her Instagram, you will know just how pretty her style is. There's cute flowery patterns, there is skin, there's ripped jeans, there's dresses and Disney - perfect!

Zoe Sugg

I feel like Zoe and Jade going shopping together, would be something that would go pretty well. They both have their own likings, yet in a lot of ways they are very similar. They both like cute outfits, cute dresses and jumpsuits, a little pattern from time to time, but a little bit of a rockier side from time to time. I don't think Zoe ever wore anything that I hated. She has the confidence to wear stuff from time to time, that I would only ever wear at home, which I really admire. Her fashion hauls are some of my favourites, and they have been for quite a few years.

Suzie Bonaldi (Hello October)

I have only discovered Suzie's blog and YouTube at the beginning of this year, yet I am so obsessed. I have only seen little of her buys or outfits that I didn't like. I like how her style isn't like the typical blogger, yet they are trendy and very modern, but still cute. I feel like Suzie would definitely be a person that I would really get on well with when shopping (I'm totally up for that, if you are reading this haha :D (I wish)).

Shay Mitchell

I love Shay's daily outfits, and I always get exited whenever she does a new outfit posts on Instagram. I'm not a massive fan of most of her red carpet stuff, as it is just not my type of style, but her daily outfits are stunning. She loves a rocky outfit with ripped shorts from time to time, but she wears a lot of pretty and floaty dresses and jumpsuits with pretty patterns. She loves a little colour, and her outfits always scream for a smile and a good mood!

Danielle Campbell

I have been obsessed with this cutie ever since I started watching The Originals about one or two years ago. Her style rocky country vibe to it, yet it is elegant and modern. I love how she can rock quite a lot of different pieces. Whether it's elegant or casual, she has definitely got a style that I would wear in my every day life as well, not like the case with a few other actresses or models.

Poppy Deyes

Poppy's style is quite plain and casual, yet I think it is quite pretty. She doesn't need tons of patterns to look pretty and create a lovely and modern outfit. She doesn't go all out, but I feel like she can rock a lot of stuff. I often have days where I like for more simple styles, and that is when I love to see what Poppy has been wearing.

Perrie Edwards

Happy 23rd Birthday to this queen! I have had times at the beginning when I wasn't really a fan of Perrie's style, but ever since I have been starting to get more into fashion, I have loved her style a lot. She definitely is a little hippie, and her outfits show that. Yet, she also loves a leather jacket and all the rocky bits like that, and that's what I love about her outfit choices. She can do elegant, hippie and rocky, everything that I love to see in outfits.

Tanya Burr

I feel like Tanya's style has slightly changed in the past few years, yet I am still pretty obsessed with it. She loves her dresses and her chucks, but she can rock a lot of things. I love how she wears a lot of flowery patterns as well, yet she has a variety of outfit choices. I love seeing what she wears, especially when she goes on holiday!

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

Some of you might find this slightly weird, but I personally love Catherine's style, and I sometimes spend hours scrolling through pictures of her. She can't go all out and wear whatever she wants obviously, yet I feel like she always makes good clothing choices. I love her dresses and coats. Even though they are mainly plain, they always look elegant and pretty. I really wish I could have a go through her wardrobe, because I am pretty sure I would end up wanting nearly her whole closet.

Hopefully I will now be able to make a decision about my newly shopped bits, and you have found some new inspiration as well. I would absolutely love to hear about your fashion icons! Who inspires your style? Who's style could you stare at for hours? :)

Have an amazing day and week! ♥
