Hey collegiettes! As I’ve observed, it’s not common for people here in Puerto Rico to watch Youtubers on a daily basis like I do and, over the course of roughly two years, I have become obsessed with the Youtube community. I have found amazing creators in this community — ranging from beauty gurus, to vloggers to comedians. I struck gold when I found Zoella. She is a British youtuber/beauty guru from Lacock, Wiltshire, England but she currently lives in Brighton. Zoe Sugg, that being her real name, started as a blogger, creating her blog called Zoella in 2009. A couple of months later she went on to creating her youtube channel called zoella280390. She is currently a member of the Style Haul network and just recently launched her beauty line called Zoella Beauty. But hey, I am not here to turn into a Wikipedia page. I am here to tell you the reasons why YOU should start watching Zoella!
- Even though she’s a beauty guru, she admits makeup isn’t everything and she wants you to embrace your own skin!
- Sometimes we forget that we aren’t perfect. Zoe admits that on a daily basis (even if some people thinks she is).
- As college students, we get really hungry. Apparently Zoella turns into a serial killer when hungry.
- At Her Campus we value how loyal we are to our friends. Zoella does the same thing, especially with Alfie Deyes and Louise
- Don’t worry, I understand how important fashion is to all of us collegiettes. And I have the scoop on that! Zoella is practically Queen of Fashion on Youtube (fine, I am the only who thinks she’s queen but trust me, her fashion sense is amazing!).
- For Zoe, family is very important. That is why she’s such a big influence on her brother Joe Sugg (also, look how cute they are!)
Basically, this lady stands for a lot of things us collegiettes can relate to. She has an amazing sense of fashion, she strives for self acceptance and just like many of Her Campus readers out there: suffers from anxiety. She knows the daily struggles of normal people like you and I and she isn’t afraid to be open about them. I guarantee that if you start binge-watching her videos (caution: please don’t do it during finals week!) you’ll always have a smile on your face because she seems to do just that! With Zoella, you have to be ready for a life lesson on every video and a new way to see life. And ladies, and gentlemen, that is what we all should strive for. You won’t regret meeting this woman and I assure you, you’ll be a happier collegiette!
