My 5 Favorite Daily Vloggers on YouTube

April 19, 2016

Hello and welcome back to my blog!  Today I’m going to be talking about one of my absolute favorite media platforms; YouTube!  Lately, I’ve found myself watching videos on YouTube more and more and it’s because of what YouTubers call “daily vlogs”!  Basically, having a “vlog” channel means that you have a channel where you post daily video blogs!  They can range from being five minutes long to being thirty minutes long and showcase everything from going to the doctor to walking your first red carpet.  Whatever the case may be, I’m a bit obsessed and I wanted to share who my favorite people to watch are!

Screen Shot 2016-04-18 at 12.58.01 PMThe first channel I want to talk about is Ellie and Jared’s channel.  They are a young, Utah-based couple who have two adorable little boys, Jackson and Calvin.  I believe they’ve been daily vlogging for a couple years now, but I’ve only been watching for the past ten months or so.  Just in the time I’ve been watching them, I have already fallen in love with the way they are rooted in family and how they adore their little boys.  They show themselves doing day-to-day activities and that might seem boring, but watch just a couple videos and you’ll understand why their subscriber count is growing by the minute.  They are definitely my favorite YouTube family!

Screen Shot 2016-04-18 at 12.58.32 PMThe second channel I want to share is the SacconeJoly’s channel.  This shows another couple, Anna and Jonathan, who have two children, named Emelia and Eduardo, and have a third one on the way!  Just in the time I’ve been watching them, they’ve moved from Ireland to the U.K. and had another kid (Eduardo)!  It’s basically the same set up that Ellie and Jared’s channel is based on but it’s exciting to experience the way a family lives in a different country.  They are constantly traveling to London for meetings and such and it’s fun to keep up with their day-to-day life, even if it’s just driving Emelia to preschool!

Screen Shot 2016-04-18 at 12.58.54 PMThe third channel I’m excited to share is Aspyn and Parker’s channel.  I found out about this channel because Aspyn has a very successful beauty/lifestyle channel where she does clothing hauls and makeup tutorials!  Aspyn and Parker recently got married (watch their wedding video, so cute!) and are now traveling the world and doing so many other fun things!  It’s cool to be able to watch their vlogs and keep up with their lives because they’re the same age as me, so it’s interesting to see what people my age are doing across the country!

Screen Shot 2016-04-18 at 12.59.19 PMMy fourth favorite channel is Alex and Michael.  Alex is another one who also has a successful beauty/lifestyle channel and watching her videos there lead me to this channel! In their videos, you can really see how normal of a life they live in Tennessee.  They are very relatable and you get to see their cute puppy, Colby, every once in a while!  With everything they’ve got going on in their lives, it will be exciting to see what they’ll do next!

Screen Shot 2016-04-18 at 12.59.39 PMThe last channel I have to share with you today is Zoella’s vlog channel.  Zoella is a very, very well known YouTuber, but most people don’t know she has a vlog channel in addition to her main channel!  She doesn’t vlog everyday, but when she does, it’s sure worth it!  She really lets you in to her life and her home and she tells you (secretly) about a lot of the projects she’s working on and it makes you feel like you’re a part of the process!  She’s also been very open about her struggle with anxiety, which has helped a lot of people, and she makes you feel like she’s talking to a friend when, really, she’s talking to a camera.  I definitely recommend checking out her channel!

Those are my 5 favorite YouTubers of the moment, I hope you enjoyed!  Please let me know in the comments if we have any of the same favorites or if you have any favorites of your own!

Things I’m Loving Right Now: March 2016

March 15, 2016

Hello everyone and happy mid-March!  I can’t believe almost three months of 2016 have gone by already, life is happening so fast!  For this week’s post, I want to share a couple products with you that I’ve been into for the past little while.  Keep reading to see what they are!

My top 5 products from March!

 

If you took a look at the picture above, you’ll see the five products I chose to include in today’s post.

The first product I’d like to talk about is a skirt I recently bought from Express.  I have an internship this summer in a corporate setting, so I was shopping for more professional looking clothing and I came across this!  What really drew me to this skirt was the fact that it’s trendy and “in” right now but perfectly acceptable to wear to work.  It’s an a-line fit and has silver buttons going down the front, which plays well with it’s rich navy color.  I’ve actually already worn it a few times (pictured below) and can’t wait for more opportunities!

The second product I’m going to share is my anti-brassy shampoo, made by Rusk.  I’ve been dying to go blonder for years but I’ve always been so nervous to do anything to my hair, so a couple weeks ago, I decided to just go for it and I couldn’t be happier with the results!  To keep my hair from losing some of it’s tone, my hair dresser recommended using a purple shampoo when I wash my hair, to counteract the fading.  After researching different shampoos, this one seemed to be the best one in my price range.  I’ve been using it for three weeks now and it’s worked exactly as it said it would, keeping my blonde ashy!  Definitely recommend this product!

The next product is my lash serum.  I was hesitant to purchase this because I really didn’t think it would work but I was desperate for better lashes.  I’m so glad I did!  It has not only made my lashes thicker, but so much longer as well!  With all the tugging on my eyes that comes with using makeup wipes, my lashes were pretty short and this serum has completely changed that!  I recommend using it for at least a month before looking for any results.

Next, I’m going to talk about Batiste dry shampoo.  I have to admit, I’ve had this bottle for about a year but never used it because it got lost in my hair products drawer!  Over winter break, I was organizing and came across it at the perfect time.  Being in college means being super busy and it’s nice to not have to wash your hair everyday.  It’s so convenient to quickly spray it in your hair and it’s like you have freshly washed hair!  Perfect for girls on the go!  I got mine from Target but I’ve seen Batiste products all over, so I’m sure you wouldn’t have trouble finding it!

The last product I have to talk about is a necklace I purchased from Nordstrom over a year ago.  It’s by the brand Nadri and still available in stores and on-line!  When I got it, I wore it all the time but soon forgot about it.  I started wearing it again this past month and wear it everyday – it goes with everything!  It’s small enough that it doesn’t get in the way but it’s big enough to add just a little something to your outfit!  I love it!

Those are all my favorite products I have to share with you today, but check back next week for another post!  Have a great day!
