Last week of November + favourite vlogger list!

 Oh, November is OVER? WHAT. Today I thought a lady at work said "Happy thanksgiving" to me and I was like wat o_O and then I turned around and she was on the phone lol. I'm getting that pre-december present shopping fear at the moment and I just need to chill owt and appreciate November as it's own thing. This week has been busy for me but I've had a lot of fun working on a little (secret) project too! Because I don't have much to say about this week I thought I would do a list of my favourite vloggers on YouTube. The sort of videos I enjoy are thrifting and daily life vlogs and honestly I just like to see what outfits people wear lol. If you also wanted to share your favourite vloggers in the comments please do! I love hearing what other people like :p Here goes...

Liv Harwood

I've been watching Liv's videos for a long time now consistently, she's a jewellery maker from New Zealand  and has the most awesome style ever. Her videos are really well put together and artistic and always have amazing soundtracks. She mainly does vlogs about her week and different places she goes too but she often records her jewellery making process too which is super interesting! She reminds me a lot of one of my closest friends which is nice too hehe.

 Sarah Chio

Sarah's channel has the most authentic 2010s YouTube vibe to me out of everyone I watch. Her videos are super laid back and she mainly just does thrifting videos, makeup tutorials and videos about her y2k collection. I find her videos so relaxing and maybe its her Canadian accent lol but I can watch her foreverr. 

EmDollx

Similar in content to Sarah Chio, the vibe of EmDoll's videos could not be more different lol. Em does mainly thrifting and van life videos, all of which are edited in the most chaotic way possible - try and find a video where she does not use the man filter, you will be disappointed. I really enjoy how she talks about enjoying time alone and how to be more comfortable with yourself as an individual. I am always thirsty for an iced caramel latte with a pump of vanilla now though.

 ymlovely

ymlovely's channel is just the cutest!! Her videos are so creative, it's like watching a tv show. She has a hime-gyaru kinda style and I love watching just to see what kind of clothes she has. I really enjoy channels that put you into the mindset of romanticising your own life like they do in the video.  The editing is absolutely perfect too, it's always nice when someone puts a lot of effort into curating their content. 

 

 
 

 

A cold wind blows...

 This week has been a bit well mental. The temperature has gone crazy low so my winter coat has come out from its hiding place. The boiler at work is broken and so I've spent most of the day rubbing my hands together and trying not to drop things lol. Work has really not been great lately as we are massively short staffed so I spend many of my shifts running around trying to do multiple peoples jobs - not cool. It's funny though that things have gotten worse since I started but as I've been getting better at my job things are getting harder. I do really like and care about the people I work with though too, there's nothing like camaraderie amongst workers haha. 

I have done some fun things this week though! So here's a list...

1. Banner of Heaven. I started the show Banner of Heaven this week which is about a murder case that happened in Salt Lake City in the eighties. The show explores the "dark side of Mormonism" and what it means to follow and be part of a faith community.  It's very very good and even though I usually hate true-crime things it's different than what I expected, I'm also lowkey obsessed with Mormons and SLC so that helps. Recommended for fans of Jacobs's dad in Twilight (Gil Birmingham).

2. Autumnal scents. I'm not really a seasonal person but I do like autumn a-lot and the cinnamony-pumpkiny products it brings. The other day I purchased the Treaclemoon cinnamon bun shower gel and it smells like my autumnal dreams. I really love Treaclemoon's font choices - it's very 2000s blog layout, I do fear that the packaging for this shower gel is ai art though. sob. I'll forgive them <3

 3. Christian indie-rock girl Autumn™.  This week I've been working on two cd mixes because I kept getting carried away with the first once and had to slim it down lol. One of these mixes is very inspired by the band Cool Hands Luke who are one of those bands that I would find the lyrics slightly cringe if I wasn't Christian lol. I mean they aren't like worship music level 100 boss but also Jesus is mentioned by name in every track. I need a non-Christian opinion on this I think.

4. Cocoa butter. no explanation needed. Actually maybe lol. Anyone else's skin dry and crispy? Using a high tech combination of cocoa butter and E45 cream my skin is making it through this cold weather in one piece... it must.. survive. 

Bonus item. Today I discovered American doll girl magazines from the eighties and nineties and I am obsessed! As a kid I did not have an American doll girl but I did have the books they wrote about the dolls as real girls. I used to read the books constantly and there was this one I didn't have but used to get out of the library all the time called Samantha's Christmas Story, which I loved. I realise now looking at Samantha that I was probably obsessed because we look similar and also I wanted her outfits - I still do lol.
