Favourite YouTubers // Vlogmas Edition!

Hello again guys; it’s now day 9 of Blog,as and it feels like Christmas is creeping ever closer! It’s time to start wrapping presents and writing out Christmas cards, eek. One thing that makes me feel festive automatically is watching Vlogmas videos on YouTube, as there’s something nice about watching how other people prepare and celebrate the festive season throughout the month of December. Basically, I’m a nosy person and enjoy seeing how other people live their lives, so I’m a massive fan of watching vlogs. Everyone celebrates Christmas differently, some people decorate very little, some go all out, either way I really enjoy seeing how people choose to celebrate, getting into the spirit and also how much more outgoing and sociable people are during the festive season. As it is blogmas, it made sense to do a vlogmas themed post, so the five ladies below are five channels that I’ve been obsessed with this vlogmas!

Sopherina

I originally started following on Instagram after finding her blog. Her YouTube channel definitely seems to be going from strength to strength; full of hauls and tags, but at the minute I’m loving her ‘24 Days of Sopherina’, which is alternative version of vlogmas. Each day, we see her day to day life but I’m really loving seeing the unboxing of advent calendars and new products. I always feel like the camera just loves her but at the same time she does come across as a normal girl who simply loves life. My favourite vlog so far has been the one featuring her favourite Christmas films as it was the perfect way to get into the festive season and there were some absolute classics included in the list!

RhiannonAshleeVlogs 

As any regular readers of my blog will know, I’m a massive fan of Rhiannon and have been for years now; we’re the same age but live completely different lives and that’s one of the reasons why I adore her vlogs so much. I always look forward to her Vlogmas series as her vlogs in general are really chilled and down to earth, viewers get to see her day to day life and her daughter is so lovely to watch, especially as she’s getting older and able to talk and be more involved. I can’t wait to see their family continue to grow and see them enjoy the festive season together, after all, Christmas is always more enjoyable when they are children around to boost the happy moods. Even if her vlogs aren’t the most eventful, I love her honest view of everyday life and watching her cook is so relaxing.

Sophie Louise Porter

I’ve been subscribed to Sophie for a while, after finding her Harry Potter related videos and so I was excited to see that she was participating in vlogmas this year. Her channel has actually grown so much lately, but her content is the same as ever, which is something that is lovely to see. Her vlogmas series have been pretty full on, it seems like she leads the busiest of lives, she’s always shopping, cooking or cleaning! I just love how down to earth she is, as well as how open she is about her love of Disney... I mean, a Disney themed tree is the dream for most people, so she’s living the good life. Her vlogs are definitely getting little old me ready for Christmas!

Katie Snooks

Usually I watch Katie’s weekly vlogs, so I was amazed to see some daily vlogs; her voice is really soft and calming, which is always a good sign for any vlogs haha. I like seeing her confidence grow as her acne begins to disappear more and more, as well as watching her declutter her house, her make up collection and her wardrobe, it feels so realistic as that’s the kind of everyday things that everyone does. I loved her Blogger Bake Off vlogmas episode, seeing her bake and be creative and every loves a bit of GBBO and it was basically the blogger version. Katie is super honest with her viewers, talking about how she’s feeling and her anxiety levels a lot, but at the same time she makes an effort to enjoy life and that’s why I like her vlogs so much, she does her best to make the most of life.

SophDoesVlogs

Recently I subscribed to Sophie’s vlogging channel after being an avid watcher of her main channel for months. She actually vlogs pretty regularly, and during vlogmas she’s uploading even more regularly, which is nice. I liked watching her choose a Christmas tree and decorating her house; it was such a basic thing to watch but actually really interesting. She also vlogger her attendance of the Blogger Bake Off, where she had a bit of a creative meltdown, haha. She’s definitely one of the more relatable YouTubers, she fangirls a lot and I liked seeing her talk about her tattoos and piercings without lecturing on how to care for them. She’s genuinely excited by the opportunities she gets and her vlogs are a great way to nose around her life.

Favourite YouTubers #9

Hello again guys; I can’t believe how far into October it is already! Like it’s actually amazing how quickly this year is flying past, before I know it it’ll be new year at this rate... One thing that I do enjoy about October is watching vlogs on YouTube during that month. I love getting nice and cozy in bed and snuggling up to watch various Vlogtober series’. There are a few YouTubers that I watch every year and genuinely enjoy seeing life through their eyes for a month. I love the behind the scenes, no filter, all honesty videos and blogs at a fantastic way to get to know a person, rather than a planned 15  minute video. Aside from vlogs, I do also like watching book bloggers at the moment; I like seeing what other people are reading and what they recommend.

ExtraSunbeamsJess

Jessie is a YouTuber who I admire for her honesty; I love that YouTube comes second to her studies and so I do enjoy her vlogtober series every year as although she doesn’t seem to do much other than study, it’s realistic and I find her vlogs calming. Jess comes across as very chilled but also very dedicated to her work; I wish I had been as dedicated to my studies, oops. I also like how her vlogs include little titbits like outfits of the day, room tours and talks about what books she’s currently reading and if she likes the content and writing style. At the moment she’s got a lot of montages of her day with not massive amounts of talking or activities other than studying, but I like the realism of seeing her days so simply.

MandevilleVlogs

I’d previously been enjoying the MandevWeekly series that they had on their main channel, but actually I’m enjoying their daily vlogging channel more. I like how they’re mixed in more than other daily vlogging channels as they each vlog their day so every other day you get to see a different sister, with a different life and a different editing style. Grace is definitely the sister with the very cool home and cooking shots, whereas Amelia tends to vlog going out to clubs and pubs with friends but both of them are equally interesting. Where the sisters are currently partaking in daily vlogging, I doubt they’ll be doing vlogtober or vlogmas as they seem dedicated to keeping up the consistent uploads and I’m enjoying seeing their different personalities, lives and friendships.

RhiannonAshleeVlogs

I’ve mentioned Rhiannon so often in my monthly YouTuber favourites, but honestly I do really love her vlogs. Personally, I really enjoy seeing how other people choose to live their lives and as someone who is childless, I never thought that I would find a family vlogger interesting, but I do. I subscribed to her vlogging channel back when she was known as Fashionrocksmysocks and obviously a lot has changed since then. I’m addicted to her vlogtober videos at the moment; it’s so relaxing to watch her and she seems so down to earth and determined to be an excellent mother. Her daughter is so sweet, especially now she’s starting to develop her own little personality and talking! Here’s hoping that she partakes in vlogmas with her lovely family.

LostInGringotts

I originally found Morgan through her range of Harry Potter related videos and I instantly liked her videos. She seems so lovely and down to earth; this month I’ve been binge watching her channel and I’ve watched a lot of content that really appeals to me. She’s a book, beauty, lifestyle and fashion based YouTuber, but my favourite content is the Harry Potter content, with videos including ‘how to make a butterbeer milkshake’, ‘huge Harry Potter book collection’ and ‘Ravenclaw merchandise collection’ to name a few that are not only interesting but also original. She also vlogs occasionally, although she’s not participating in vlogtober, it does look likely that she’ll be creating content for vlogmas which I look forward to.

Favourite YouTubers #7

Hello again guys; I've had one of those funny weeks so all of my blog posts have been slightly random, although that's actually how I like blogging, if I'm completely honest. It feels real and it's a genuine reflection of what what I'm like in life. This month I've been watching a lot of Harry Potter related videos, in preparation for visiting the Studio Tour myself next month! Alongside that, I've been getting into vlogs, homeware and beauty videos. I like to watch YouTube when I'm in bed, before I go to sleep so that if I don't fully remember what I've watched, there's always the option to watch it again. YouTube is definitely something that I would be too shy and awkward to talk so confidently to a camera, so I admire those you do. Every month I watch different kinds of videos, rather than the same people or the same kind of video and I think that's what keeps it interesting.

Cherry Wallis

Through searching for the 'Harry Potter Tag', I found Cherry's channel and instantly fell in love with her magically inclined videos; a fabulous range of homeware and lifestyle, whether that's Primark (Harry Potter) clothing, a room tour, beauty hauls and Harry Potter videos including which (replica) horcruxes she owns, her wand collection and an overall Harry Potter collection amongst many others. I like how she collaborates with other Potterheads on occasion and also uploads regular videos such as peeks into her bag and make up tutorials. 

Tessa Netting

Another Potterhead on YouTube, I found Tessa's channel from one of the many Potterhead collaborations in the online world and was hooked fairly quickly; she's best described as both quirky and cool with a little bit of geek (which is not a bad thing at all!) I've been enjoying her hauls and unboxing videos and does post some fantastic reviews, for example the Cursed Child review was not only descriptive, but also fairly neutral; it felt honest and real, a genuine reflection of her feelings about the play. She collaborates with other YouTubers fairly regularly and definitely does her part of charity with her #Luna4Lumos live feeds, so she's one the more selfless people around in this world!

ThoseRosieDays

I have been suscribed to Rosie for a couple of years now and I love how down to earth she is; from baking and make up tutorials, to just general lifestyle and testing videos, she is always a pleasure to watch. She's very bubbly and it feels like she's literally talking to you (as a viewer) like a friend and she does seem really honest; not all of her reviews are positive, which is nice to see. Out of all of her uploads, my personal favourites are definitely her travel vlogs as she visited so many beautiful places and the vlogs literally mad me so desperate to travel the world as soon as possible!

RhiannonAshlee - RhiannonAshleeVlogs

I've been watching Rhiannon's videos for around 5 years or so; she was the first person I ever subscribed and I've loved watching her little family grow. Her vlogs are hugely relaxing and I feel like they're a true representation of her actual life; its not all glitz, glamour and parties. She doesn't edit out a bad day and I like that, its refreshing to see that she's a normal girl. Her little girl is very cute, but I have to admit I can't believe I watched her pregnancy vlogs and now there is a one year old to watch as well as beauty and fashion videos.

JustJodes - JustMoreJodes

I only recently discovered her channel, but Jodie is another YouTuber who I always feel gives anhonest opinion; her videos are quite creative as they're a mix of everything, including beauty, fashion, testing various products and many other avenues. Recently I've been enjoying her vlogs and her homeware hauls, particularly her recent room tour; basically I'm a bit nosy and like getting an intimate look into how other people live. One of the reasons I watch Jodie so often now is because she comes across as super friendly, as well as honest so I feel like I'm not gonna to end up wanting to spend thousands of pounds that I don't have, she's literally so normal and I love that.

Favourite YouTubers #6

Hello again; I guess you could call this post one of my standard monthly favourites posts, because I have to admit... I do like having my posts nicely ordered into catagories. I'm not a YouTuber, I would say I'm far too awkward to be as I prefer just sitting and writing instead (explains why I blog haha). However, I don't know what I would do without YouTube in the sense that my make up techniques have improved so much since I started watching YouTube more regularly. Below are a list of four (quite different!) channels that I've been loving throughout June for various reasons that I'll be explaining in more detail. Let me know if you enjoy these kinds of posts, as I enjoy writing them (and reading similar posts). Feel free to pop a comment below and see you again soon!

 

Jazzybum

I actually subscribed to Jasmin's channel this month, when she filmed some videos in collaboration with sophielouisebeauty and sophdoesnails whose channels I really enjoy. One of the reasons that I decided to subscribe is that I like that she doesn't take herself too seriously; many of her videos are testing or DIYs with hilarious results, for example making slime, unicorn frappuccinos and other foodie/baking tests. Jazz comes across as really down to earth, with Primark and BooHoo hauls, baking tutorials and wishlists for birthdays and Christmas. I'll admit, I've been binge watching her channel every since I discovered it; her voice is so unusual and she sounds so nice to listen to, regardless of what she's talking about. Her tag videos, such as the boyfriend tag and juicy Q&As are fairly eye opening and fun to watch - they're quite addictive!

 

RhiannonAshleeVlogs

I know I've mentioned Rhiannon fairly regularly in this catagory, but there's just something lovely about watching her family develop. It's so strange to see someone the same age as me with a child, but I feel like she's quite honest about how difficult motherhood can be, as well as how challenging it is to adapt to a new time in your life. Her last vlog was actually so useful; I actually downloaded the period tracking app that she recommended and it's been fantastic; that's what I really love about social media, it can genuinely benefit your life in lots of little ways. As a woman, this app is a lifesaver! Her blogs aren't necessarily the most eventful, but I like that; it's so interesting watching another persons day to day life. I've been watching Rhiannon for about 4 years and it's amazing seeing how much she's matured since starting her family. Delilah is also very cute to watch!

 

EmmasRectangle

I began watching Emma because of her many collaborations with sophdoesnails; I'm surprised that she doesn't have more subscribers as she's got some out of the box ideas, such as YouTube made me buy it (fashion edition), GRMW (various looks), Makeup under £5 and some amazing 'Doppelgänger' for  various celebrities, such as Alicia Silverstone. The main reason why I've been watching so many of her videos this month is that her make up tutorials are super easy to follow and most drugstore brands, which I like because I am on a budget 99% of the time. Her opinions come across as honest regardless of how much the make up products cost and she doesn't shout at the camera, it's like listening to a friend.

 

KaitlinEmma

First of all, I adore her accent! It reminds me of a relative who lives in a similar area, so I automatically liked her videos as her voice is so relaxing for me. For someone who studies at university alongside YouTube, she posts regularly; her videos often include clothing and make up hauls, skin and make up routines, GRWM (make up and fashion) and also lots of little tips for every day, such as different hairstyles and life advice. It's nice to see a YouTuber that encourages younger audiences to study and Kaitlin has a variety of study tip related videos. I actually subscribed because I really like her make up techniques and her travel diaries; she always looks flawless regardless of the weather!

 

Favourite YouTubers #4

Hello again, it feels like April is rapidly disappearing. I feel like as I get older, weeks and months slip away from me and I barely even notice... Is that bad? Oops. Over the past six months or so, I've started to really enjoy watching YouTube videos, although for me I don't think I've ever want to start a channel; I definitely prefer the format of blogging. I like watching YouTube usually when I'm in bed, having a relax before going to sleep. I tend flick through my subscriptions first, before looking through similar videos that I might like. I do prefer beauty and lifestyle videos, but recently I've started to really enjoy vlogs and seeing everyday life. Maybe I'm just nosy? Either way, vlogs have definitely become my go-to viewing lately.

 

Jessie B

I found Jessie's channel very recently, through a suggested video; I absolutely love her accent (Irish accents are always awesome) and I like her down to earth, I'm not little miss perfect vibe. Her channel is still quite new, but I like how she's becoming more confident and getting her viewers involved by asking for Q&A questions and replying to comments often. She's actually incredibly pretty, but doesn't seem vain; her make up videos are always funny but also not too out there; the make up looks that Jessie creates are wearable for everyday. The main reason that I enjoy watching her is that she doesn't feel fake, she's easy to relate to as she's a young, excitable teen who is working out what she wants from her life.

 

Roxxsaurus - RoxxsaurusVlogs

I've been loving Roxi's vlogs for the last month or so, I really like how she shows her everyday life, from decorating her house, styling outfits, buying furniture or going for a meal it all feels real and like you're getting to know the person behind her YouTube channel. I even watched her videos with my boyfriend as they're both Polish so visiting Poland vlogs were super interesting for us to watch. I've also been watching her main channel videos a lot as I like how she posts easy to follow hair and make up tutorials on long hair and pale skin. She comes across as being a normal girl and it's nice to see that she has friends not involved in YouTube and shows them in videos too.

 

meowitslucy

One of the reasons why I like Lucy's channel is that she has a very educated, very structured point of view but isn't afraid to talk about a variety of topics. The first video that I saw of hers was one about struggling with alcohol; I agree that controversial topics are extremely difficult to talk about, mostly because there's often a massive backlash with many people questioning authenticity and likeability. I like watching Lucy's videos as she's incredibly articulate; she makes me think about life and achieving and makes fairly sensible statements. Whether we as viewers, like or not, the YouTube generation are role models, in both good and bad ways. I enjoy watching Lucy because she's so perfectly imperfect, which translates well into videos, there is definitely less of a pressure to fit into that perfect mold when watching her.

 

sophielouisebeauty 

Sophie comes across as super down to earth and is constantly giggling, which I like as I feel relaxed whenever I watch her make up tutorials. Her make up looks are always lovely, but I enjoy seeing her make mistakes, laugh it off and somehow still make the look work. For me personally, I like it because it's a comfort seeing that not everyone is fantastic at make up but it's also good to try. She's also relatable in the sense that she often posts Primark hauls, uses drugstore make up and seems to be really honest about not only herself but her likes and dislikes. I like watching her pamper, night and day routines as they don't feel fake, they feel believable. She's genuinely nice to watch as she's always really chatty and in a good mood.

 

RhiannonAshlee - RhiannonAshleeVlogs

I've been watching Rhiannon for literally years, ever since she was fashionrocksmysocks and I've always loved her style. It's mad to think that we're the same age and that she's a mother, but I honestly love her vlogs so much. She definitely shows the difficult side of being a parent for the first time, but she also shows some of the loveliest things that Delilah does too. She's not one of the most fancy YouTubers as she doesn't have millions of subscribers but I feel like she's one of the more honest vloggers and I do really like how laid back her vlogs are; if she's not doing much she still vlogs and it's nice to see a normal person with a normal life. It's so strange to see people grow up through the internet!

 

Favourite Youtubers #1

Hello again, new year, new blogposts. Every month I write about my favourite instagrammers, music or blogs. So, I decided it was about time I wrote about my favourite YouTubers as well. Like most people nowadays I spend a ridiculous amount of time online and so it makes sense to write about what I like and see. A lot of the internet does inspire me, although I'm not sure if YouTube would suit me; I'm much more of a writer then a speaker, although I do enjoy watching videos as it helps me wind down after work and before going to sleep. The channels below are the ones that I've been watching the most at the moment.

 

RhiannonAshlee - RhiannonAshleeVlogs

I've been watching Rhiannon since she was more well known as FashionRocksMySocks, so basically for a really long time. However more recently I've been loving her vlogs and seeing her develop as a mother; as we're the same age it's both weird and interesting as it seems like we have lots and nothing in common. I find her to be really relatable and one of the most honest young mothers to watch. I like that if she's just having a standard say, she still vlogs and never hides the struggles of juggling having a job whilst her family are still growing. Plus her fashion sense is still as amazing as it was in her early videos.

 

sophdoesnails 

I've only recently started following Sophie, but I've literally binge watched through so many of her videos; one of the things that I really love about her channel is that the majority of her hauls and reviews are cheaper items that most people can afford, not only expensive items. For example, she recommends make up for all price ranges, from very limited budgets (Poundland, Primark) to high end budgets (Jeffree Starr, Kylie Jenner) which is great, if, like me, you don't have hundreds of pounds to spend. Her hauls are often from Primark too, which is relatable for people on a budget and she comes across as really honest and sweet.

 

sophielouisebeauty

It's rare to see fairly popular youtubers with full time 'real life' jobs but it's actually refreshing. It suddenly makes YouTube seem a bit more normal, too. Her channel is pink, girly and full of fun challenges and make up hauls. The majority of the items she shows are really reasonably priced, from Superdrug or Primark and her overall personality is really fun and upbeat. Her make up collection videos, room tours are really nicely filmed and definitely a girls dream as they're filled with lots of pink and storage space in surprising places, like under desks. She regularly posts haul videos that are from easy to find and afford places and gets madly excited over cute things, which I find really endearing.

 

sunbeamsjess - extrasunbeamsjess 

Jess definitely comes under the genre style and fashion vlogger; I like her honesty particularly in vlogs where she talks about being at uni and juggling uni work and YouTube work such as editing and uploading. One of the main reasons that I followed her channels was because I like how she documents her weeks by outfits and explaining how she styles herself; another thing was that she documents what books she's reading or what books she's enjoyed. When I was younger I was massively into reading and I need a boost to get back into it. After seeing her videos I'm now thinking about what I should read, so she's a great inspiration for both your brain and body.

 

ThoseRosieDays

I've been watching Rosie's videos for a while now and recently her subscriber count has literally grown and grown. At the moment her videos are mostly focussed on her travels around the world, firstly on a trek around America and currently backpacking around Asia. Her travelling videos are great if you're unable to travel and want to see some sights or firsthand experiences of travelling. Other than these, she's also into beauty and cooking, with reviews of Kylie Jenner's lip kits and testing Primark make up to see if it does what's expected of it. She comes across as very down to earth, friendly and honest and up for adventure.
