My Top 3 Less - Known YouTubers



Thought I'd do a little mid - week post for you since I'm so lovely and generous (*cough* I have nothing better to do *cough*) .

So, like most of you reading, I love YouTube . I don't know what I find so entertaining about watching someone sit in their bedroom and talk to a camera, but clearly I'm not the only one who enjoys it .
When most people think of YouTubers, they think of big names like Pewdiepie, Zoella, Tyler Oakley, etc, so I thought I'd tell you about some of my favourite less - known YouTubers .

In no particular order...



Lilly, known on YouTube as Floralbeautiee, is a 13 year old girl from England .  Her channel (which she has run for 1 year) has a gorgeous pastel theme, and lots of beautifully edited videos .
I love Lilly's videos, as she does a mixture of make up, fashion and lifestyle videos that are all to such a high standard, considering she has only been a YouTuber for one year, though in that time, has gained over 30,000 subscribers!



itsSophieBelle, or Sophie, is again, a girl from England . Her channel features a mixture of videos, though mainly provides outfit inspiration for her viewers .
I personally like Sophie's channel because we have very similar tastes in lots of different areas, and I always love her style . She currently has just over 5k subscribers, but she deserves so many more as the quality of her videos is wonderful .



Kate from KatesBeautyStation is a girl from England (there seems to be a theme here...) who's channel is dedicated to beauty and fashion - related videos.
Kate comes across as a really bubbly and honest person, so I feel like I can always trust her product recommendations.


Leave me a comment of who your favourite less-known YouTubers are!

A Trip to Glasgow




Welcome back to my blog! Sorry for being absent for so long, his past month has been SO busy (piano exams, essays, etc) but I finally have a post for you, and a long one at that . 

This week, I spent 4 days in Glasgow, staying with my sister, Laura . I honestly had such a great time, I wish I could've stayed longer, but she has essays to write too . Boo, university . 
When I initially arrived, we went to get something to eat (the bus journey is so long, I was starving!) at Ask Italian, and I had 'Spaghetti con le Melanzane', so basically spaghetti with aubergines .


Afterwards we went to Cineworld to see 'Cinderella' which I enjoyed more than I expected! I wasn't planning on going to see this movie, but I'm glad I did, because it was a nice lighthearted movie, and beautiful to watch, too . Plus, two of the central characters are from Downton Abbey (Rose and Daisy), so that was a bonus ;) . 


The next day, we headed to the Kelvin Grove Museum . It was so beautiful, and had so many different things to see, there's something to interest everyone! Although, some of the modern art was a bit... you know how modern art can be . 


We were also in time for the organ recital at 1pm, which was lovely . 


We then visited a few of the shops along the West End, my favourite of which was a store called 'Papyrus' . I'd never even heard of it, but it was lovely! It was similar to Paperchase, but better (if that's possible) . Afterwards we went to 'TriBeCa' for lunch . 


The food was AH-MA-ZING . My sister and I both had cheeseburgers which were sooo good, and that's coming from someone who's not a big beef - eater . 


The best part of the lunch was probably the milkshakes, though . They were called 'Blizzard Shakes', or something along those lines . I had a bounty milkshake, which was SO good, possibly even better than pistachio milkshakes . And I LOVE pistachio milkshakes (I know, I said milkshake loads) .


Finally, we went to the Botanic Gardens . Luckily, the weather brightened up just in time for us to go there (I knew it would! Am I psychic?) . 


It's honestly like a jungle inside, which means it is very warm . It had loads of beautiful statues though (pictured above is a statue of Eve) . I don't really have much else to say about it... I mean, how much can you say about plants? It was very lovely though . 




On my last two days, we did some shopping on Buchanan street, which I didn't take any pictures of, as I didn't think you'd find it particularly exciting . Although, I bought a ceramic pineapple, which I dropped (and smashed) in Forever 21 . Tragedy . 


Again, sorry for being gone so long! From now on, I should be posting every Sunday, with the occasional mid - week post . 

Leave me a comment if you'd like to see anything in particular next week! (Perhaps a haul...?)
