Currently living on Youtube... come squat with me!

You know how in my last post I said I've been watching tons of Youtube videos? I've found Shirley B Eniang, GabeBabeTV and a few other awesome people. Maybe I'll update this list later.
Anyway, here's what I'm currently watching. It's such a fun video to watch, and you already know how I feel about sharing all the fun stuff I find. Plus her story is so similar to mine! I think you'll love it. Let it play while you're doing the dishes, folding the laundry, eating lunch...whatever. You'll thank me later ;)

Enjoy!


EDIT: Updated list:

1) Meet Vicky Logan. She's fun and easy to love. I first wasn't sure how I felt about her because the first video I watched of her felt like she was uncomfortable being on Youtube. I remember thinking "so why are you on here if you don't want to be?". In retrospect, I think it might have been my mood that day because she's definitely awesome. I'm not going to try to get on her level make-up wise, but at least, I'll drool over her #MOTD occasionally. It surely doesn't hurt her my love for her that she's Christian and is a young and married person.  She does style/makeup videos and also Vlogs.
2) Shirley B Eniang. Shirley is Nigerian and Ghanian and lives in the U.K. I like her accent, her speech's pace, her obsession with white and I love her relatively minimalistic style. She doesn't have as many videos as I'd love, but I binge watched all I could find in two weeks.
3) Gabe and Babe TV. I like this style of vlogging for my 'house-chore and chill' moments. When I need to sort laundry or clean my room and need something nicer than music but not quite at T.V show to watch, I watch them. There's also naturalme4c (not pictured). She was my go-to-person when I had natural hair. She (natural me 4c) and her husband Ty also make hilarious videos... check them out! 

4) SisiYemmie : She's Nigerian and amazing and her life is fun to watch. Her blog was my first find. I think I love her because she's doing what I'd love to do with my life - chilling and blogging and get paid for it. 
5) Lynnjaphet: She's also Nigerian.  I can't remember why I followed her, but she has good content.  "Lynnjaphet" is her Instagram handle, that's what I call her in my head, so that's how I'm choosing to introduce her. On Youtube she's Tosin Alabi .
6) Chanel Boateng : A case of my friend (who also blogs) talked about her so much that I just had to check her out. Turns out she's a Youtube Natural. Plus she's my plus-size body confidence booster for the days when I'm more fat than in-between #TeamForecverChangingWeight.
7) Ndani Real Talk. Cornelia O' Dwyer (the show's host) has a face that helps me pick out my new hairstyles (she's the one with cornrows in the middle). I know it's silly, but that's the first reason I started lurking through her Instagram. Then I found a post about the show, watched the first episode of this show and I was am hooked.
So those are a few of my favourite Youtube people :)

I love hearing from you! Go on, introduce yourself and say something; nothing is too random to say on here.

Hey Lil Troublemaker.

Photo credit:  looseends  via  Foter.com  /  CC BY-NC-SA Freezing as usual. I've gone through today's edition of "school sucks, especially in the Winter". I have a midterm anyway, so there's no way around school today. No point whining. There's a 3-minute bus for the 7minute walk I have to make to my next class.  When the roads are icy and slippery (like today) and man's greatest fear is becoming 'Humpty-Dumty the second', that walk becomes more10-ish minutes. So, of course I'll take the bus! *Whew!*. I made the bus.  To calm my raging nerves - because I'm pretty tensed about my Stats midterm - I read the cover page of Metro newspaper. The story I first see is something about wheelchairs not getting priority over strollers. Lol? Who wouldn't know that? On second thought, it wouldn't be on the front page of the paper if something hadn't happened. Apparently, some bus driver had told someone with a toddler to get off t...

Why "Be Yourself" is Terrible Advice

I recently had a conversation with one of my friends, which led her to the conclusion that I wasn’t spiritual enough to date her brother. It was kind of a joke, but as we know, in every joke there’s at least an iota of truth.    So, it got me thinking. See, I self-identify as an open-minded person, at least in my circle of Nigerian, Christian friends, I’m a little bit of an anomaly. I have my own ideas about life, alcohol, sex, and other things I wonder about. No, it’s nothing that necessarily contradicts the Bible; it’s just a little too much for my people. Now, without even knowing the details of our conversation, you’re already thinking I’m not Christian enough to date you or your brother. Don’t worry I don’t want to date you either. On a serious note though, I was taken aback a little by my friend’s conclusion, mostly because I wondered if the things that made her come to that conclusion were the same ones being impediments to my ability to ...

Me, my mindless mind, and I.

It's interesting to experience how trainable the mind is.  You know you hear all these things about not knowing how strong you are until being strong is the only option there is. Yeah, where was I going with that? I can't remember. I've spent the past 10weeks trying to figure out if I can figure out whether the mind is the brain, the brain is the mind, the mind and brain are one, the mind is a product of the brain, the mind is an organization board for the brain and a few other mind-brain twisted relationships. No I don't just sit around doing that, it's for a class I'm taking (I'm a psychology student). But yeah tonight I'm staring at my laptop and thinking I have to write something before I go to bed that's not a cheesy love story. Because I don't think I could think up anything that wouldn't be a dub of a Bella-Naija love story.  So yeah it's amazing what the mind can do if you would just train it to. With food, it's b...
