5 YouTubers You Need to Watch

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Ohio U chapter.

With the end of the semester quickly catching up to us, it can be easy to let the stress of finals take over our thoughts. While studying is good and imperative to keeping up your grades, too much studying can wear you out and make it hard to absorb new information. If you are in need of a study break to clear your head, what better thing to do than to expand your YouTube horizons?

Are you interested in lifestyle videos? I have two suggestions for you: Estée Lalonde and Zoe Sugg. Let’s start with Estée.

Estée Lalonde, formally known as Essie Button, is a Canadian residing in London with her boyfriend and her dog, Reggie. Her videos are some of my favorite to watch with her simultaneously calm and bubbly personality and her knowledgeable views on the world of beauty and fashion.

Zoe Sugg, known as Zoella on her channel, is hugely popular in the YouTube world with over 10 million subscribers on her main channel, and it’s growing. Her videos focus mostly on makeup, but will have a good handful of fashion, hair and the occasional baking video mixed in. If that wasn’t enough to convince you, she also has the cutest boyfriend, Alfie, with an adorable British accent and the cutest black pug in the world, Nala.

If you are in need of some comedic relief, then nothing is better than a trip to Unicorn Island with Superwoman. Lilly Singh is absolutely hilarious with a wide variety of videos for you to binge watch. I recommend the “My Parents React” videos, they never fail to make me, and seven million of her loyal subscribers, laugh.

Allie Marie Evans is the girl to watch if you want to see some truly creative content.

Not only is she a Taylor Swift look-alike, she always has the sweetest, most relatable personality. She has a good mix of advice and beauty videos, but has lately transferred to more creative videography that truly blows me away.

Do you need some good old-fashioned advice? Katy Bellotte, or HelloKaty, has answers to all the questions you’ve been asking. Think of her as your big sister for the week. With advice ranging from college to boys, Katy always has your back. She also has her fair share of beauty and fashion videos, so get ready for a whirlwind of content.
