YouTuber of the month – Ebony Day

Hello lovely people,

I promise that I don’t only like female british YouTubers but for some reasons all the male YouTubers I’m watching are well known people such as Joe Sugg, Caspar Lee or Kian Lewly. So I figured writing about them and introduce you guys to them is a bit boring.

I promise I try to find somebody else for next time that is not as known as them.

But back to this months YouTuber of the month: Ebony Day

I first discovered her actually quite a while ago on a James McVey video and then I saw her on channels like Sam King and such. I always found her quite cool but for some strange reasons I never got around to check her out on her own. Until I discovered Sophie Louise. Sophie and Ebony have filmed videos together in the past and when I got into watching Sophie, I also had to check Ebony out. And it’s save to say that I fell in love with her music and her personality.

So for those who don’t know Ebony, Ebony is an English YouTuber who does mainly (or used to do mainly) music covers (definitely check them out on her old account: Ebony Days music and her recent ones, my fav is her ‘the 1975′ cover of ”Somebody Else’) but she also does regular main channel videos such as tags, challenges and beauty kind of videos. On her second channel she also tries to vlog on a regular basis. I especially like her vlogs because they are shorter than your regular vlogs (I’m not saying that I don’t enjoy a 40min vlog of Zoella, not at all). But the good thing with her 6 – 10min vlogs is that they are quick, still uplifting and positive and she still achieves to give us viewer a look in her everyday life. I also like them because you can watch them in between doing something rather then properly sit down and concentrate on the long vlog. And, I think, because they are short you can see how much effort she puts in editing these videos.

As I mentioned before I like that her videos are positive and uplifting but at the same time she seems also very genuine. Recently she had to have an operation which means that she might not be able to get kids one day, although she loves children and would like to have some one day she still managed to bring a positive message within all these things. Some YouTubers would probably not vlog these experiences and talk about, to their own right because it is a very private thing to talk about and everybody can decide themselves what to post and what to leave out, but I personally liked that she talked about it and raised awareness to young female or in general people to listen to your body and if you feel something is wrong go to the doctors and try to find out what it is. Because at the end of the day we all got only one body and we have to take care of this one.

On the other hand I also really enjoy her covers. Although she has kinda that style to slow down the songs, I absolutely digging her style. It just perfectly fits her voice and how she sings. Song like ‘Let me love you’ originally by Justin Bieber, is completely different to the original yet also as beautiful as the original, at least in my opinion. She achieves to bring a lot of emotions to the songs which let you see the songs from a different perspective.

All in all I can only, once again who would have guessed it, say that I’m totally hooked with her videos and every time I see a new video pop up in my description box I have to check it out. So I can only advise you guys to do the same and check Ebony out and fall in love with her as much as I did. 😉

Lots of love,

Jenny

YouTuber of the month: June ’16

This month my obsession is quite clear to me and some of you might wonder about it. When it comes to YouTube and me I quite enjoy all kind of YouTube videos and channels and if you know me a little bit by now this months favourite shouldn’t be a surprise to you. But enough talking, first things first let me tell you whom I loving: Sorted aka SortedFood.

Let me tell you about them. Sorted is a British food channel. The founder and the ones who are in front of the camera are Ben (the chef), Mike, Barry and Jamie.

They’re old school mates and after they graduated they all went into different directions but eventually came together again to start their channel ‘Sorted’ in May 2010 (yes I know they had a channel before this one, but I’m only talking about Sorted for now). Since the channel started Ben tries, sometimes more sometimes less successful, to teach the other 3 how to cook and bake mostly with easy recipes. At this point it also has to be pointed out that they actually learnt things in comparison to when they started, so good job Ben :). They post 3 videos per week and they’re probably most known for their Fridgecam which comes out every Sunday at 10am GMT. Fridgecam is created as kinda a vlog for Sorted. In this series they cook something/do challenges or whatever, but also explain what went on on their channel and also Website plus they do a comment of the week (Shout out to James at this point!! ;)). Comment of the week is quite an important part because there they obviously pick a comment of one of their videos which they especially liked and react to it. In their videos tha’st kinda their interaction with their audience but beside of that they’re also known for interaction in the comment section quite a lot with their viewers. They also made their own website which is basically a big community where you can get recipes from, upload recipes, photos of food, interact with each other, read things the Sorted team has posted to a certain topic or simply get the recipes they did in one of their videos. When I look for a recipe SortedFood.com is honestly one of the first addresses I go to. Because of the many videos Sorted have done already plus the whole Community there is most certainly a recipe for what you’re looking for.

But back to YouTube, the reason why I love their videos so much, is because they make cooking videos super funny and also kinda interesting when Ben has one of his geeky moments again. Also because all of them are so different in personalities which makes the whole concept super fun. Although Ben always gets bullied because of his geekyness (is this even a word? :D) and because of his red shorts (yes, you read right, but everybody has their own fashion style, right?! :P). A major point is also that they make cooking (seem) easy and they try to come up with easy recipes, also easy to cook yourself recipes which try to be also on the trends which goes around. They do not only cook but also do challenges or trips which have to do with food. So once they did a ‘Lost and Hungry’ tour all around America and showed the different food in the USA. But they also did like a series where they had a camping trip and showed food which you can do there, or they do challenges like a recent video of theirs where they tried to show how you can make food taste better, or one of their epic food battles where Barry, Mike and Jamie have to come up with a recipe to a certain topic and than cook it in kinda of a cook-off and then the viewers can decide who won in the comments, or they had a series which called ‘Big night in’ and they shared food which you easily can do when you invite some friends over (to be honest still my fav series and I wish they would bring it back! ;)), or they did eye candy or what not. You see the list is almost endless and you definitely can find something which interests you.

I honestly could write down an endless list why I love their channel and everything they do, have I mentioned that they also have brought out cookbooks? No, okay they also do cookbooks which to be honest I like to have every single one of. I might need to start saving for them now! But anyhow, what was I writing about? Ah yeah, why I love them. So yeah I love their videos and blog and basically everything that has to do with them. On this note, they also do cooking equipment which considering I have my own kitchen now, I should get everything from, okay, another reason I should save money! Sorry, I go carried away once again, but you see I really love their videos and I probably have watched every single one at least twice. To be fair I reckon it has been like 5 times or even more, so I basically should be a female version of Ben by now but sadly I’m still a cheap version of Barry, Mike or Jamie.

So if you like cooking videos, or you’re looking for a new recipe or just would like to check them out I can only advise you to go to their channel and website and I promise you, you won’t be disappointed. Once you’re caught in the spiral of Sorted it isn’t easy to leave these 4 individuals again! 😉

YouTuber of the month: May ’16

Sophie Louise

It’s the time of the month again where I introduce you guys to a YouTuber I have especially liked this month. This time is the british YouTuber: Sophie Louise.

To be honest with you guys I only discovered her this month but I really liked the videos I have watched so far (and believe me I have watched quite a few). The first video I watched and also her most popular one was her ‘Guy guesses prices of girly items’ and right after I finished watching it I immediately subscribed to her.

I like that she always seems so happy and positive but if you get to know her videos a bit more, you realize that she personally struggles with some aspects in life. As many other people she also suffers from anxiety and also made a video about ’15 life hacks for anxiety’ which I think is very brave of her to talk about that topic so openly. But in general I like her videos because of how happy she seems to be, her craziness and also that she admits that she’s quite an awkward person, which I can highly relate to ;).

In general she does fashion and lifestyle videos but also her videos with her boyfriend Alex are quite popular by her viewers.

Beside of one video every Wednesday she also uploads weekly vlogs every other week.

She posted her very first video on the 02.07.2014 (Summer Haul 2014 (Forever21, H&M, Topshop)) and she already hit 70k subscriber last week, which is an amazing achievement and I personally think that she deserves way more than that!

I can only highly recommend to you that you check her out because I really like how she comes across in her videos, she seems very nice and is very genuine.

I guess I’m back binge watching her videos now and I hope you will do the same soon. 🙂

Lots of love,

Jenny xxx
