My Favourite YouTubers

Heya! I'm going to give you a list of my all time favourite ever YouTubers today. It might be a bit long because it's like asking me to choose a favourite child... Nearly impossible! So without further ado, here are my top 10 YouTubers. Enjoy!

10. The Janoskians

People have different opinions on the Janoskians. My sister, for one, thinks that they are rude wannabees that trend awful things on Twitter. I can see how some of the stuff that they do can be classed as rude however, I think that they are down to earth, nice guys that happen to make hilarious videos. Plus they're Australian. What more could you want?!

9. Troye Sivan


Another Aussie here! I didn't know about Troye up until recently when I watched him in a collaboration with another YouTuber. I then checked his channel out and god I'm glad I did. He's the funniest guy and he just hit 1 million subscribers. I didn't actually know he was Australian until he mentioned it cause he sounds really English. Check him out!

8. Marcus Butler


Look at that face... The first of many British YouTubers on this list. Marcus Butler is a funny guy with a weird accent and his videos are about anything and everything. He has an 'Ask Marcus Monday' as well as uploading a random video every week too. His videos always make me laugh and he looks weirdly good as a girl...

7. Sprinkle of Glitter


Sprinkle of Glitter (also know as Louise) is yet another British YouTuber. She focuses on fashion and beauty and she is literally the funniest person ever. One of my favourite videos of hers is when she's talking about times that she pooed her pants. It sounds disgusting but I was on the floor in laughter for about a day. She also has a beautiful baby girl called Darcy who is sometimes on her channel and who is totally adorable!

6. Tyler Oakley 


Tyler Oakley is an American YouTuber who is nearly at the 3 million subscribers mark. He has an unhealthy obsession with One Direction and he has the best accent in the world. He is very famous and he actually got to interview 1D twice! What I think is cute is the fact that he and Troye are best buddies. They call themselves Troyler. I ship it.

5. Banana Jamana


BananaJamana is another American YouTuber who is AMAZING at art. Most of her videos are of her painting or drawing and every single thing she does looks so good. She's painted YouTubers like Danisnotonfire and amazingphil and they're so realistic. She has this habit of speaking really fast in her videos and I think she's the nicest, prettiest person ever.

4. JacksGap

JacksGap, JacksGap, 5 minutes of your life that you won't get back! That's their little jingle. Jack and Finn Harries, A.K.A JacksGap. Jack and Finn are identical twins from England and they have 3 million subscribers. Not only are they really cute, but they can penny board too.. If you're wondering what that is, it's basically skateboarding. Their channel is always full of laughs and entertainment.

3. ThatcherJoe


It's a British invasion! ThatcherJoe, or Joe Sugg, is one of those guys who has it all. He hit 1 million subscribers this year and he really deserved it. One of my favourite videos of his is his 'Lyrical Phone Prank' video where he phones his friends and can only recite the lyrics to a song whilst talking to them. It's so funny and I really think you should check it out.

2. PointlessBlog


Alfie Deyes. What to say. Alfie is my favourite male YouTuber because he's so entertaining and he's really sweet. His videos are never the same and there's always something for me to watch that cheers me up. He is at 1.5 million subscribers right now but I think that he's gonna get to 2 mil pretty soon. My favourite video of his is the 'Embarrassing phone calls' video where he has to phone his friends and say embarassing things to them.

1. Zoella


Zoe Sugg. The prettiest, nicest, luckiest girl ever. Why lucky?? ThatcherJoe is her brother and she is in a relationship with PointlessBlog. She's also best friends with Sprinkle of Glitter. Her channel is mainly about beauty and fashion but she does lots of videos where she messes about too. Her bedroom is the nicest room that I've ever seen and I'm jealous of it.


Right that's all for today but I missed out some other YouTubers so I might make a list of YouTubers to watch in the future! Byee x

Classic Christmas Ads

It's that time of year where the TV is overtaken by sleigh bells ringing, snow falling, lights twinkling and some pretty big deals all in time for christmas. I have to admit that I wait around for those special christmas ads that always make me smile and that get me in the christmassy mood. And here they are - My Top 5 Christmas Ads of 2013!

5.  Morrisons

 

Morrisons is a grocery store in the UK and it is known to be slightly more expensive than other chain supermarkets such as Sainsbury's or Tesco's. This years Xmas advert from them is one of my favourites from them for a while and it features a gingerbread man seranading the popular english presenters - Ant and Dec. He sings one of my favourite songs from the Disney film 'Beauty and the Beast' - Be Our Guest whilst dancing on a table full of delicious looking food. It's the cutest thing ever and it makes me feel so christmassy!

4.  M&S


Marks and Spencers (M&S) are a big chain shop in the UK that sell pretty much everything. They're quite expensive but they sell some great clothes and some of my favourite foods (Percy Pigs). They've based this ad on the story, Alice in Wonderland, but the so called 'Alice' is wearing a lot less clothes and the 'Mad Hatter' has to be one of the hottest guys I've seen for a while. They also got Helena Bonham Carter to be in it which is why it's number 4 for me. She is such a good actor and she's really pretty!

3.  Boots


The Boots Christmas advert is in third place for me because I love the story and the moral of it. Boots is a general health and beauty chain store in the UK. The advert focuses on a teenage boy who goes around his neighborhood dropping off anonymous presents to people that have helped him or done something for him. He leaves the presents on their doorsteps along with a little note explaining why they get a present and what they mean to him. My favourite one is where he drops off his present for his crush and the note says "Because you're the fittest girl in Year 10".

2. John Lewis


John Lewis always do the best Christmas adverts. They're always really cute and they always have a good moral. This years advert had a budget of £7 million and it's about a bear who's sad because he always misses Christmas as he's hibernating but then he meets a hare who gives him an alarm clock which wakes him up in time for him to see the Christmas tree. Lily Allen did a cover of Keanes 'Somewhere Only We Know' for the advert which went straight to  number one in the charts. It's such a good song and the whole advert is just so cute. You HAVE to watch it!

1.  Coca-Cola


What kind of person would I be if I didn't put the Coca-Cola advert in first place? This is the one advert that I look out for every winter because It's not Christmas until you've seen the Coke advert. I don't know why but it has always been and it will always be my favourite ever Christmas advert. You have to see it to understand and I can't explain it. It's just that feeling you get when you see all the Coca-Cola vans driving in a line through a snowy village. I love love love it!

It's Actually Quite Windy...

I've just spent around 10 minutes laughing because of a reporter on the TV who's reporting on the storm, and the BBC, being the dicks they are, made her stand outside to demonstrate how windy it is and... let's just say that she definitely blew the cobwebs away! A lot.

Today has been one of the worst days for weather that I've seen in quite a while. I didn't even know that anything was coming because we didn't have weather warnings or anything like that but when I walked home today, it dawned on me that it was actually quite bad.

You'd have thought that I'd have caught on to the fact that the weather was quite dangerous at lunchtime when the kids from another local school all came flooding into our sports hall saying that they'd been evacuated because the roof had blown off their school building. It was quite funny because I got into science and all my friends were saying that this school roof had blown off! And me, being stupid, thought that they meant that there had been an explosion or something and I was baffled as to why everyone just accepting and why they weren't scared. But then I realised that they meant blown in the literal sense... like blown with wind.

I find it ironic that a few weeks ago, they predicted a big storm for the UK because of the hurricane and everyone prepared for gale force winds and all but in the end, I think a twig might have fallen off the tree in my back garden. And then they didn't even predict bad weather for today and yet look what's happened... 2 men have died and there's awful flooding and bad damage everywhere. I have to say, the MET office have done a fantastic job.

That's all for today!  Stay safe if you're in the UK. Byee
