Leaving for figure skating sleep-away camp!!!

Hey everyone! Just letting you all know that I will be leaving for a figure skating sleep-away camp today, and I will be gone for a week. So there won't be any new posts until next Sunday or Monday, which really sucks cause I was looking forward to blogging more! But I am still really excited to be going to this sleep-away, and I know that it will definitely be lots of fun. In addition to figure skating (of course) we are also going to either an amusement park or swimming this coming Saturday, so that should be great as well.

I'll talk to you guys once I get back, especially since I am super excited about some new purchases I made!

Bye and have a good day :)

The fashion and beauty world on youtube

Ok first off I feel need to apologize for not being on blogspot for such a long time. I know, I know, my bad! But honestly, these last weeks of school have just been crammed with essays and final projects. But I will probably not be doing that much blogging this summer because I am traveling, doing community service, hanging out with friends, and going to various camps. But I'll try my best!

Anyways, I spend a lot of my time on youtube, and some of the videos I love to look at are ones of the beauty community. There are thousands of girls and even guys on youtube who do outfit of the days, favorite products of the month, reviews, and even hauls. If you don't know what a haul is, it is basically when someone makes a video showing what they bought and describing everything in detail. It might sound really superficial and boring, and I'll admit, even when i heard about this I didn't get why anyone would want to watch it. But these hauls are actually really fun and they are a great way to let other girls (or guys) know about any current sales, deals, or purchases that are going on.

Even though I am subscribed to so many people, I have narrowed down a list of ten beauty and fashion gurus (as they are called) that are my favorites. You should definitely check them out!

These are not in any order by the way, because that would just be way too hard!!

1. wendyslookbook- Honestly speaking, Wendy has the biggest personality I have the biggest personality I have ever seen in a fashion guru! I love it! Everytime I watch her videos, I cannot help but laughing at her quirky personality. She is that great mix of proffesional and fun. The majority of her videos follow a consistent theme: focusing on one item of clothing and styling it different ways. Sometimes it is a chic handbag or coat and other times it is how to spice up a loose white t-shirt with three different outfits and pairings. I seriously recommend checking her out and subbing!

2. themakeupbydanielle- I love watching Danielle's hauls and fashion videos because of her amazing style. Her videos are never boring because of her bubbly personality and creative beauty and fashion ideas. She always bring a variety to her channel!

3. Macbarbie07- Bethany's videos are always the first ones I watch when I look at my subscription box. I can safely say that she is my definite favorite guru on youtube. Her videos are proffesional, interesting, helpful, fashionable, cute, and always well done. You can tell that she spends a lot of time and hard work on her channel because her videos are always filmed in beautiful scenories and are packed with beauty/fashion information and ideas. I especially love her GIY (glam it yourself) videos that show you how to create your own accesories or clothing items at home to save money. She shows you how to make your own crop top, feather earrings, and more!

4. MichelleHNguyen- Michelle has the coolest style ever! So unique, bold, and different! She is definitely more of a fashion than beauty guru to me, just because she really expresses her bright and bold personality in her fabulously unique outfits. She doesn't post videos that often, which is unfortunate because she is so fun to watch! However, it makes me even more excited to see her new videos in my subscription box.

5.meganheartsmakeup-Megan has such a classy and polished style, and finds a way to incorporate this into all the trends for the season. She does a variety of skincare, makeup, fashion, and hair videos. Everything from tutorials, trends, collections, and more. This 15 year old is so mature for her age, which is why so many people (even women older then her) love watching her. She is very helpful, easy to watch, and super sweet in all of her videos.

6. ilyjessicaomg- She mainly does "fashion of the days" which is what I mainly watch her for, but she also occasinally will do a review, collection or makeup video. The great thing about Jessica is even though it is summer, she still stays true to herself and her awesome grungy style. I love the way she puts together outfits and she can definitely become a fashion inspiration to many.

7. clothesencounters-If you are all into finding your most unique clothing items by thrift and vintage shopping, then the girls of clothesencounters are the youtubers you want to watch. The majority of their videos are centered around thrifting tips, unique thrifted outfits, and incorporating these one-of-a-kind pieces into the current trends. Definitely stop by their channel!

8.shelbyxbaybee- Shelby is obsessed with hello kitty, pink, and makeup! I love watching hauls and her vlogs with her friends. She is super nice, funny, and bubbly as well. You need to subscribe!!!

9. bubzbeauty- I loooove watching bubzbeauty because she has one of the most beautiful personalities I have ever seen on youtube. She is all about natural beauty, confidence, and accepting yourself. Her "inside beauty" videos make me trust and enjoy her outside beauty videos and tips even more! What I love about Bubz is that her videos are not always focused on buying new makeup products to cover up your face. Because although that stuff is fun and nice, what about taking good care of the skin underneath? I absolutely love Bubzbeauty's DIY face products videos that show you how to keep your skin healthy with materials found in your own home. She has great tips, great inner and outer beauty advice, and keeps everything bubbly and fun.

10. andreaschoice- I love how Andrea is so confident, which makes her videos so much more fun to watch. She is always very funny in her videos and provides lots of very helpful makeup tips. Not only does she upload a lot of fun hauls, makeup tutorials, and whatnot, but I also love how her videos on friendship and advice make her a much more respectable and easy to watch.
