So last
week I randomly found myself with a free Saturday afternoon and spent some of
it on You Tube. I’ve been watching Nicole Arbour since THAT
video. She’s not exactly PC and I get that her humour isn't for everyone, but personally I find her take on religion,
social media, ex-boyfriends and America etc. quite hysterical.
But there are
only so much sarcasm even I can take, so I asked my blogger friends to
recommend who they watch, and boy did they deliver. Now I have some new favs to learn from/waste
hours over. Because addiction love
company I’m hoping you’ll get hooked as well.
Gowarn, just watch one, everybody’s doing it…
This chick
is my new spirit animal. She manages to
be both informative and funny. I crave
her articulation skills and her honesty about life, sister’s suicide and her
own mental health issues is highly commendable.
Her every day bravery is helping me be brave in a current life fuck
moment I appear to have found myself in as well. Her videos are super short,
most are only 3 or 4 minutes long, so are perfect for me and my goldfish style
attention span. That said it is
incredibly easy to sit down to watch one, then check the time and see you’ve spent
an entire afternoon/day/month watching a cat obsessed nut job*.
These
videos are a quite a bit longer than Anna’s. While I'm not into the endless beauty posts those touching on topics a little deeper, like her mother's alzheimer's or personal growth are wonderfully stylised. She’s
also got mad editing skills.
My favourite videos are ‘Mary’ ‘Do you ever feel’ and ‘where have you
been’ I love that she swears in this one
as she seems so calm and collected most of the time.
I’m not
usually one for perfect videos with perfect toddlers in the arms of perfect mums, but I’ll make an exception here. While
they are A LOT like swanky life adverts for some product we
all need to be this awesome, they are worth watching for the cinematography alone. The images of different places
they've travelled around the world and soothing musical soundtrack are great
for when you’re having a bit of a hard time and want to escape.
So there
you have it. I’ve really enjoyed finding new two dimensional friends who have NO ideas we are in a relationship.
Who are
your favourite Youtubers to watch?
*in case you hadn't noticed I'm a big fan of cat obsessed nut jobs.
