Instagram Controls My Life

 

This video trend was popular during the summer and is still currently, so I decided to give it a go.  As a fellow low-key youtuber I decided to try to trend but not for the views, but many youtubers have taken on the challenge such as My Life is Eva and Tess Christine, therefore I figured if they can do it then I could too.  Now with this video I am still in control by giving my Instagram followers a decision to vote between, such as a cozy outfit versus a glam outfit. Another example includes bold makeup or natural makeup, should my hair my curly or straight?  Many youtubers have taken on the challenge such as My Life is Eva and Tess Christine, therefore I figured if they can do it then I could too. Some of the questions that I asked include:

 

  • Breakfast: Oatmeal or Eggs with Jelly Toast

  • Makeup or no makeup?

  • Should I dye my hair tips copper or grey?

  • Should I get doughnuts or go to the mall?

 

From participating in this challenge, I have learned that I totally messed up in trying to get the screenshots my youtube video.  That I can give up my decision making for a day, but it was tough to think of the options on the spot. I had planned some stuff ahead of time, option wise, because I like to be a little ahead.  I have learned that it does take longer than 10 minutes to get results from the voting. That you don’t have to make a video like this and spend money. Saving money is always a great thing! For those who have thought about trying out the challenge, I recommend you do so and experience it at least once.  It is very fun and you never know what is going to get chosen next.
