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, if you read my 'Holiday Books' post then you will know that I set myself the challenge of reading five books in to weeks. Update on that, I read one a bit...fail. However, as promised, I'm going to do reviews on them! I know I love reading reviews on books because it gives me an idea of whether it's something I should spend my hard earned money on! I will eventually get round to reading the books, even if I have to take them to Uni with me!

So, without further ado, I present to you..

Girl Online - Zoella/Zoe Sugg



Now, I won't lie, I only bought this because I love Zoe. However, now I'm so glad I did (even if I have only just read it, soz Zo).

I also have to admit that when I first started reading it a long long time ago (ok not that long but like a few months is a lot to an 18 year old...) I wasn't the biggest fan. Being 18, I'm not the ideal demographic, let's be honest, and that was kind of obvious.

Maybe it was the way it was written? I don't really know how to explain it! If I was thirteen I think it would have been more accessible to me maybe? It took me quite a while to get in to because it wasn't really written like the kind of books I read now.

However, once I DID get in to it, I was so invested in the story and in the characters and even though I knew what was going to happen at the end (ruined it for myself, well done Becky) I still loved going through all the twists and turns that lead to that ending!

This was most definitely a good choice for a holiday book I think! It was easy to read, had bits of comedy in it, places i recognised the names of and was just lovely! It also made me want to write so many blog posts since Penny is a blogger herself!

So, overall, I would recommend this book! If you have it and have tried to read it but haven't got thee, keep going! Once Penny meets Noah you get so gripped and it's so worth it! Looking back I think I should have waited for the paperback to come out as it would be a lot lighter but it did make some pretty instagrams when I first got it!

I'm still reading Eleanor and Park and with packing for Uni it's getting hard to find time but I will get there! If I haven't finished it by the time I move it is so coming with me (along with a few other books which I haven't decided on yet but I'm going to write a 'What I'm Taking To Uni' post soon so you'll see then!)

P.S. - This is my 50th blog post! It's crazy! I remember starting this in January thinking I would get so bored of it and I would give up but blogging is my favourite thing to do. I love just sitting down and writing about stuff! My blog blew up when Sprinkle of Glitter tweeted about it and I was so shocked! I like to think I write alright posts? Even if nobody's reading they're still enjoyable to write!

Thanks For Reading!!

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)
