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 !

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...

Tattoo and Piercing Update for 2019

Hiiiii, it’s ya girl, addicted to piercings and tattoos girl, how are we all? So, I’ve been reflecting on all the posts I make on body modifications (it really is the only interesting thing about me, I’m sorry), and yes, there sure have been a lot posted in 2018. Whilst these posts do well and often the subject is of interest to people, both fans of tattoos and piercings and people that have none at all, I don’t think that a dedicated post for every single thing I get done, or change, or whatever, is necessary every time anymore. I don’t doubt that I’ll get more things done, but I have other passions and other things I’d like to write about. In short, I just don’t want this to become the ‘tattoo and piercing blog’, yanno? That being said, I think updates every few months will just be more efficient and I can talk about a range of stuff, rather than trying to squeeze a decent sized post out of one thing and go on about stuff I’ve already covered before - there’s only so many tim...

Students Are Not Poor Anymore

For as long as university students have existed in modernity, there has always been a stereotype that they never have any money, they live in freezing cold houses and eat nothing but beans. Whilst I’d like to disclaim that many people do indeed lead very impoverish lives as students who certainly  should be admired for their resilience, there are an overwhelming amount of people who live reasonably lavish lifestyles off the back of their student loans, and can afford things that years ago would not have been possible for the average student. In this week’s post I’d like to examine from a student’s perspective, what exactly it means to be a student in 2018 - what lives are we able to live and what commodities are now within reach thanks to student loans, and is this a good or bad thing? Take me for example. I live in a central London flat. You go into my room and there’s a wardrobe completely full of clothes, a brand new Fender Jazzmaster guitar and amp, a dresser full of ...
