If Meghan Camarena looks a wee-bit familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen her on CBS’ “The Amazing Race”. Reaching the 10th leg out of 12 overall rounds shows that this little lady isn’t here to mess around. She’s got some serious determination, willpower and butt-kicking skills. Regardless of all that however, she’s a real softie at heart with just the amount of sweetness that matches what most people know her as, Strawburry17! If you’re into anime, Minecraft, music videos, and vlogs, this girl is for you! Check out what Meghan’s been up to after hitting up every continent on “The Amazing Race.”

April, Justin, and their three cats (Sunrise, Charlie and Bob) have a special spot in my nightly agenda. Their vlogs have a real down-to-earth feel that makes you feel like you’ve personally known them all your life. Whether they are cooking up a feast in the kitchen, zip lining in Costa Rica, or simply hanging out with their cats, their videos are always the perfect way to end my chaotic day. Not to mention, this ambitious couple does a weekly “What You Wanna Know Wednesday” (WWK) where they answer real questions from their subscribers (including the juicy ones).
2. The Fashion Citizen
The twin sister duo Stephanie and Melissa, together known as TheFashionCitizen on YouTube, have really made their mark in the fashion YouTube community. With multiple DIY videos and thrift hauls, they show today’s fashionistas the beautiful art of stretching le dollar. Sophisticated, feminine, and elegant Melissa (left) balances out Stephanie’s (right) edgy and spunky style. If you’d love to see a $20 outfit look like a million bucks, I highly suggest you head over to Stephanie and Melissa’s channel TheFashionCitizen!
