My Favourite YouTube Channels

Writing this blog in itself is a huge form of my procrastination, but along with listening to music, watching Netflix, and of course, napping; watching YouTube is up there with the biggest way I waste my time; but still time reasonably well spent I’d say. The amount of people trying to make it big on YouTube is increasing at an insane rate, so it’s hard to know who is worth your time, and who is creating good original content. I’ve collated a list of my favourite channels, in the hope it will steer people in the right direction YouTube wise (aka not in the direction of Jake and Logan Paul).


Samantha Maria

For all things makeup, fashion and lifestyle, Samantha, or ‘Sammi’ is the gal for you. Not only is she absolutely GORGEOUS, but she has one of the best eyes for style of any fashion channel on YouTube. Everything about her hair, makeup and fashion choices inspire me constantly, and many of my purchases have been through her recommendations. What’s more, she’s recently had a beautiful baby girl called Indie and creates lovely family content with the baby and her husband Jason - what more could you want?!


Hannah Witton 



Talking about all of the subjects that no one will, Hannah (great name) runs a channel full of sex positive content where no subject is off limits. Though everything is done in jest and lightheartedly, herself as well as similar creators that she invites onto her channel, discuss very important topics that help create a safe space on the internet for people to discuss freely anything they want. I always very much look forward to her uploads.


Shane Dawson



Loud, outrageous and never doing anything by halves, Shane Dawson is a big character that won’t suit everyone’s humour. Shane’s channel has gone through a lot of changes in what kind of content he produces, from sketches, trying weird foods, conspiracy theories, you name it. Right now, Shane is taking more of a creative direction with his channel, with bigger productions and crazier ideas - he bought a random YouTuber who made a hate video about him a brand new car, for god’s sake. Whatever the weird content he’s creating, he has an incredibly quick sense of humour and is one of the only people I watch that genuinely makes me laugh out loud.


Tana Mongeau


Undoubtedly the most controversial, unapologetic content creator on YouTube right now, Tana Mongeau’s channel, and life in general, is like a reality show that you can’t help but watch, no matter how scandalous it becomes. At only nineteen years old, Tana has lived a crazy, almost unbelievable life and rose to fame telling those crazy stories. Her content now is outrageous and she doesn’t go more than a few weeks without a major scandal that the whole internet hears about. Like Shane, there are many people that find her content annoying, but I also appreciate her quick humour and her ability to not hold back, no matter how crazy an idea sounds.


Dan and Phil

From Tana, full of controversy and scandal, to the most lovely and wholesome content creators there are. Dan and Phil, both with their separate channels and their joint gaming channel, bring me endless amounts of joy, no matter what they do. By no means experts on playing games, they make hilarious let’s play videos that often end in screaming and frustration. These two are by far my biggest comfort YouTubers, the channels I always go to to cheer me up, or my go to when none of my other faves have uploaded anything good. They are delightful people and I can watch the same videos of theirs over and over with ease, still enjoying them as much as the first time. Who knew two awkaward, tall guys with emo fringes could bring me so much joy - but they really really reallllly do.


Not sure if this is something everyone will have been interested in, but these people bring me a lot of joy so I thought I’d share. It’s apparent that this blog is definitely a bit of everything at the moment but I hope you’re enjoying it :) Anyone who has some cool suggestions for future posts, please let me know! It’s inevitable that I will run out of ideas very quickly lol.

Thanks for reading !

Live Review: Let’s Eat Grandma @ Heaven - 27/9/2018

Sweet and delicate Norwich duo Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingsworth took to a sold out show in world famous gay bar Heaven in London this week, to entertain the crowd in the only way they know how to; with poise, talent, humility and grace. With a diverse crowd of ages, gender and class in London’s Embankment area, the room waited with excited anticipation - ready for a Thursday night of epic proportions. Riding high off the success of their newest offering I’m All Ears, the pair took to the stage with an air of undeniable confidence, launching straight into popular bops ‘Whitewater’ and ‘Hot Pink’. Other than a few hellos and thank yous, both Rosa and Jenny need not say anything else to the crowd, as their music completely spoke for itself. Bustling on through the set, which consisted of mostly tracks from their newest record, with only hints of older material, the girls interchanged between playing the keyboard, guitar, and even saxophone - all played brilliantly. The duo also ...

How to Start and Maintain Your Own Blog

In what might be the epitome of the blind leading the blind, I thought I’d take the opportunity this week to give my questionable pearls of wisdom on blog writing. I have been posting weekly for about 5 months now, so I have definitely picked up a few things, which I hope will help out someone considering starting their own blog, because I couldn’t recommend it enough. Write About Your Biggest Interests Being your blog, it makes sense that you should write about what makes you tick. There is no point in editing your interests or beliefs to tailor to a certain audience. Writing is far better when there is passion and interest behind it, so write about what you enjoy, and it will invite an audience who share a similar interest, and hopefully, this will create a community of likeminded people, all because of your passionate writing, which I think is a very cool concept. Spend Time Working On The Aesthetic  As much as the quality of your content is by far the most important thi...

Saturdays at Borough Market

As of late, my life in uni is pretty unexciting, consisting of lectures, the library, and not much else. Because of this, I have found that early Saturday afternoon is my time to do something that isn’t work related, even if just for an hour or two. Living so close to the iconic Borough Market, visiting it at the weekend was a no-brainer, spending a lot of time there anyway throughout my time in London. It’s a hub of amazing food and drink, and such a great atmosphere to be amongst, to kick start a weekend. The market is mostly, but not completely, covered with a huge, industrial style roof, in which hundreds of stalls co-exist, with everything from paella, to bread, to fruit for sale. Turning each corner of the building means a new amazing smell, all so tempting that you never want to buy food from anywhere else ever again. Some of the most aesthetically pleasing stalls are definitely any of the fruit and veg stalls, displayed in a colourful and satisfying display that jus...
