Hello You Lovely Lot!

The other day Louise (aka SprinkleofGlitter) announced her 2016 LouiseLIVE tour and naturally I was so excited because last years LouiseLIVE was one of the highlights of my year. The minute I knew the dates I told Natalie and we decided I would try for Liverpool tickets since I live there now so I would know where I was and it would be much simpler!

On the day of getting tickets I had a right nightmare. We knew we wanted VIP but every time I clicked on any VIP seat it said they were gone the minute I clicked proceed on the theatre website. I then tried Ticketmaster which told me there was no VIP tickets left. Buying tickets is so stressful but I like to think I've got pretty good at it now since I've been doing it for a few years! I kept trying and I rang the theatre about 3 times to no avail.

EVENTUALLY I managed to get some VIP tickets and pay for them. I then tried to trick Natalie in to thinking I couldn't get any which I think worked pretty well (sorry Natalie...)

I am so excited to go! Our date is at the end of August and I have no doubt that it will be filled with laughter, crappy food and a hilarious car journey. Last time we met Louise together was at the book signing tour she did and it was one of my favourite days without a doubt! Last time LouiseLIVE was happening, Natalie was in Switzerland so I had to get Louise to record a video for me to say hi to her but this time she'll actually be there! Meeting Louise at LouiseLIVE is one of the best ways to meet her in my opinion because she genuinely has a conversation with you and you get a photograph, whereas at book signings you're not allowed to take photos, god knows for what reason!

There will definitely be a blog post on this LouiseLIVE show and probably a vlog on my YouTube channel too so I can't wait!

Hello You Lovely Lot!

So, just over a year ago I started this blog as a way to share my life with people. However, for quite a few years I have wanted to start a YouTube channel! I used to have a channel with a friend but in the end she decided she didn't want to so we both gave up.

Hello you lovely lot!

I love Vlogmas. When I say love, I mean it. Sometimes I watch old Vlogmas videos in the middle of summer, I'm so rebellious? As it got closer and closer to December I started to rewatch a few of my favourites (I did it when I was drunk once and woke up the next morning with the Christmas music playing, not the best). I tend to watch the same people every year although I have found some new channels this year who happen to be doing vlogmas! It was taking me too long to think of ten people that I watched since I only watch six or seven so I decided to make it a top five!

Better get going then!

5. Jim Chapman / EveryDayJim

Now Jim isn't technically doing Vlogmas this year because he isn't vlogging every single day till Christmas, he vlogs Monday-Friday anyway so I'm counting it! I don't watch Jim's vlogs as much as I used to but I still think he's a lovely person and he really does make me smile! His vlogs are always just quite relaxing I guess, especially if you're nosy like me.

4. Tanya Burr

I think Tanya' channel is just called Tanya Burr? I don't know! I never watch Tanya's vlogs and I don't really know why but I do know that I love her Vlogmas videos! She just gets so excited around Christmas which is exactly what I'm like! Christmas is my favourite time of year, not even just Christmas, just winter in general. My birthday is in January so around this time is where I love my life. Tanya reminds me of me and I find her vlogs so easy to watch!

3. Alfie Deyes / PointlessBlogVlogs

I tend to watch Alfie's vlogs quite a bit and obviously he daily vlogs anyway so I don't think he's calling this vlogmas? However, he tends to do such interesting stuff (I mean one vlog was him getting a Christmas tree which is honestly so interesting to me.) He also spends a lot of time with Zoe, obviously, who I love to pieces. I think that Alfie is just generally a lovely person too, I always forget that I've met him and how much I loved him!

2. Zoe Sugg / MoreZoella

It was a stuggle to decide between Zoe and the number one spot but eventually I came to a decision. I love Zoe so much and she's one of my favourite YouTubers. I think the only reason that she isn't number one is becase I obviously see the same things in Alfie's vlogs, not that it bothers me because you do see them from two different perspectives! Zoe really cheers me up, I think she just has such an infectious personality and it makes me so happy. I also love the fact she's doing the videos on her main channel too!

1. Hannah & Stef Michalak / TheMichalaks

I love these two so much! They are fast becoming two of my favourite YouTubers and this is the first year they've done Vlogmas! They usually upload on a Sunday and it tends to be there whole week. Their editing is magical and the music really makes it too! I love watching their videos and I look forward to Sundays simply for their videos. When I found out they were doing Vlogmas I was ecstatic, although it does mean the videos are shorter it also means I don't have to wait all week for an update! Their baby Grayson is one of the cutest children I have ever seen in my life and I love watching as he grows up and seeing all the milestones he reaches!

So, these are my favourite YouTubers to watch around the festive period! I love Vlogmas all together and so having so many people that I love makes it even better!

Hello you lovely lot!

So, I was going to do one blog post for 5SOS and LouiseLIVE but after going to LouiseLIVE I knew it deserved it's own blog post!


After watching Louise for many a year on YouTube I knew as soon as she announced LouiseLIVE that I HAD to go and I had to get VIP.

I wasn't sure how I felt when I first set off on the hour drive to Coventry but I knew that I was very happy. It was sunny, I had the radio on (Uptown Funk came on just before I got there, I danced and sang, no shame) and I would soon be meeting Louise.

We first got to go to the VIP Meet and Greet and I can honestly say, Louise is one of the loveliest people I've ever met. As soon as I saw her I became a little bit overwhelmed and had a little cry, not that she saw, I'm sure she would have been a bit terrified. When she got round to us I felt so happy I could burst. I managed to get a little video for my friend Natalie who was having a down day and a lovely photo with Louise herself. Fair warning, I look so happy, it's like i've won the lottery...



Look at that smile. Happiest girl on earth alert, like i've got a coat hanger in my mouth! Louise asked me about my Ipad (since it's smashed like no tomorrow) and I told her the story of how I've dropped it a million times and also dropped my phone down the toilet when I was drunk. She made a joke about me being a crying drunk and she said she was the same sometimes (me being drunk became a running joke throughout the show but more on that later). Then we were sat down again and waited for the show.

The stage was so lovely, loads of balloons and a giant photo of Louise, very pretty and pink and I couldn't believe I was sat on front row!


The show began and within minutes I was laughing my head off and then Zoe came on!


I have a video of Zoe coming on but it's just me sniffling a bit because I felt like I was watching a video but they were there and I got overwhelmed, anyway.

The show itself was amazing and more than I could ever ask for. Louise was hilarious, lovely and serious at some times. The 'Body Confidence' section made me very very emotional so that video is me sniffing too, how embarrassing. She took loads of questions, got so many adorable people up on stage and even showed us Louise Land!



I kept laughing very loudly at bits that nobody else seemed to find quite as funny (such as a man making kissy faces at a sweaty Louise) and Louise brought back me being drunk multiple times! You can even hear me in Zoe's snapchat story which makes me realise how loud I was (sorry everyone who was there).

If you ever get a chance to go to a Louise LIVE or any other event she does, go. You will not be disappointed in any sense of the word. She is completely real, hilarious and the whole show was very heartwarming. I am very lucky that I got such a great opportunity and glad that Louise involved me as much as she did because it really did make my day! So, thank you Louise. Not only for your wonderful show but for being ever so lovely and making such wonderful videos. From the crying drunk (Becky)

I am OBSESSED with youtubers, whether I am having a really bad day (like today) or I just want to watch someone who's life is more exciting than mine, theres nothing I like better than watching a few short videos to stop myself from doing more important things.

10. Anna, Jonathan, Emilia and Eduardo (SacconeJolys)



I never used to be a massive fan of this lot, I never really knew they existed. I remember watching a few of their videos back in the day but never properly got in to them. Until they started appearing in Zoella's videos and then I fell in love! Emilia is the sweetest child and they always seem so positive. I'm always happy when I see a new vlog!

Favourite Video: BIANCA BEBO BABE (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

9. Tom (TomFletcher)

Most people know Tom from McFly or from that 'Wedding Speech' video. I love Tom's videos so much, it's so interesting to be able to see all the behind the scenes things to do with McBusted and all the stuff with him and Gi (who of course has her own channel which I adore!) I LOVE McFly and McBusted and so to be able to see one of my fave bands when they're not playing at a concert I'm at or in an interview is great

Favourite Video: From Bump To Buzz

8. Carrie (It'sWayPastMyBedTime)



So Carrie has beaten her older brother Tom, but only JUST! I've been watching Carrie for a few years now and I love her to pieces. I am so excited to get her book that i've preordered! Her videos always make me smile (cringe) and I think she's a great role model to many people! Her and Tom together are the funniest thing to watch.

7. Hannah, Stef and Grayson (HannahMaggs)

Again, I found this channel after Zoe had them on her vlog and ever since then i've been in love! Grayson is a lovely baby and both Hannah and Stef are absolutely hilarious! I want one of Hannah's makeup bags so bad so I might invest next payday! They seem like such lovely people and their vlogs are the highlight of my sunday!

Favourite Video: WE'VE BEEN ROBBED!!


6. Jim (JimChapman)



What a lovely photo of Jim...Jim seems to be one of the sweetest people out there and I think his videos really reflect that. I prefer his second channel 'EveryDayJim' but I think that's true of quite a few youtubers, just because there are videos there more often and the videos aren't planned!

Favourite Video: YOUTUBERS KNOW HOW TO PARTY (for Zoe's birthday)

5. Alfie (PointlessBlog)



I bloody love Alfie. I can safely say he is one of the loveliest people I have ever met even if I met him for like 10 seconds! His videos make me giggle, especially his collabs with his mum. I was so lucky to get to meet him and his vlogs (as well as his main channel videos obvs) are always a joy to watch!
