Veracious & vivacious vloggers: my three favorite YouTube ladies

YouTube vloggers are popping up everywhere.  Although, all online creators are, well, not created equal.  Some, are exceptionally good at what they do.

I've discovered three people - through several Google searches and lots of time spent on YouTube  - who define what it is to be not only a superb vlogger but who develop content that is genuine, fun and makes you want to come back to hear and see more from these inspirational people.

I've started a vlog myself to focus on some of the topics I love such as beauty (reviews/comments), reading -things I've read and would recommend - and general stuff I like that I think might be neat for an online audience to hear about too.

Part of the reason I wanted to specifically highlight the work of the individuals below is because I was motivated to create my vlog and continue to update my blog after reading and viewing their outstanding work.  They are so authentic, helpful (through vlog tutorials and recommendations) and sweet. 

It isn't often you feel part of someone's life through the internet but I think these ladies have a real way of entertaining an audience and making you feel connected to them through their video content.  Each person I've recognized is a prime example of a quote I read online that I really enjoyed: "be the type of person you would want to meet."  

Also, I feel it's always nice to give a mention to people who deserve it - and these folks definitely do!  

So, without further delay, my list of unique and excellent vloggers is below.  If you want to contact them/explore more of their work, each person has additional details for their Twitter/website/facebook/blog contact information listed through the links I've included in this blog below.

Keep up the good work, all!

Katie Couric's "The Best Advice I Ever Got"

Before I returned home from living abroad in England for over four years, I was looking for a bit of inspiration and direction when resettling in the US which I found in this small-yet-mighty book.  Featuring a collection of easy-to-read essays written by well-known public figures/celebrities including broadcast journalist, Katie Couric, it'll take only a short time to read but will leave a lasting impression.

UPDATE to Dear Jobless post

Dear Jobless post UPDATE -

I have a very close friend who is still struggling to land her first job in her chosen field, the world of fashion, and last Christmas, to give her a bit of inspiration, I bought her a print from a user on Etsy, Ginger Oliphant, which pictured a bulldog (my friend's favorite dog breed) and an excellent quote about looking ahead with optimism:


I've been lucky enough to find a position in the field that I love, I now work at a PR agency in England, and I hope that all of you graduates and job hunters can find the role you have been searching for.  It might take some determination and support from your family and close friends but you can do it - never give up!
