YouTube Limelight

Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels, sharing the little things I like about them and of course the video I like best. This month one of my favourite channels is Household Hacker. Any household hack is a hack I want to hear about. If there is a way I can do something quicker or with less effort, I am all over it. This YouTube channel was created to solve common and everyday problems by create things and using items you find around the house. Household Hacker can give you cooking tips, garden hacks and ideas for [...]

Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels, sharing the little things I like about them and of course the video I like best. This month is Gordon Ramsay. I came across this channel by chance actually, as it was on the home page as a trending. I'm quite surprised to see that the channel is not just full of clips from his various TV shows. I think you may have been living under a rock if you have never seen a video or meme of Gordon Ramsay. There are videos of recipes, how-to, along with a few [...]

Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels, sharing the little things I like about them and of course the video I like best. This month is Headspace. About a month ago I discovered podcasts. I know, I’m really late jumping on that bandwagon! I have more than 60 podcast episodes I've downloaded have kept me really busy. I often listen to it while I’m driving to work or eating breakfast. Although the Headspace Podcasts have been taking a hiatus, I’ve really enjoyed listening to them and learning more about the mind. It’s interesting how the mind works [...]

Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels, sharing the little things I like about them and of course the video I like best. This month is Jessica from The Mommy Archives. I came across Jessica's channel via Lydia Senn, who I featured on last months YouTube Limelight. I love the idea of a capsule wardrobe, or even a 'uniform'. Think along the lines of Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and even Homer Simpson, they all seem to wear the same thing every day. Maybe one day soon I will come back to this video to help me get [...]

Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels, sharing the little things I like about them and of course the video I like best. This month is Lydia Senn. I can't remember how I came across the Lydia Senn channel, but I am so glad I did. Her videos are about simple living, how to save money and getting out of debt. But there are also some videos themed around DIY, parenting, recipes, and working from home. The video below provides some great meal planning hacks. This video is full of ideas, tips and trick to help you [...]

Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels, sharing the little things I like about them and of course the video I like best. This month is Blendtec. Blendtec became popular in the mid-2000's with the phrase will it blend. Using the blender to attempt to blend anything from Marbles to iPhones to pool noodles. Their very first video was uploaded to the channel 11 years ago, posing the question will marbles blend? Since then they have uploaded almost 200 videos. I've since discovered that they also have a whole YouTube channel dedicated to delicious Blendtec recipes. You might [...]

Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels, sharing the little things I like about them and of course the video I like best. This month is Simply Nailogical. I originally came across Cristine's channel when the "100 layers" videos were doing the rounds. You wouldn't think 100 layers of nail polish could look so creepy! I can't even begin to imagine how long it took her to do either. Sometimes the second coat of nail polish can take five minutes to dry. It can be really hard not to laugh out loud while watching Cristine. I find [...]

Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels, sharing the little things I like about them and of course the video I like best. This month is Gigi Gorgeous. I actually saw the trailer for This is Everything: Gigi Gorgeous for the first time a week or two before it was released. I made a note to watch it but it was a little while before I had the time to give it my full attention. This fun documentary follows the path of Gigi Gorgeous. It covers parts of her life that haven't been showcased on her YouTube [...]

Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels, sharing the little things I like about them and of course the video I like best. This month is Nadine from Hey Nadine. Having just returned from Hawaii, I was smart and researched a few travel tips in advance. I’m not new to international travel, but it's handy to see what else I can do to improve my experience. On my trip to Europe my luggage weighed 10kg when I checked in at the airport. On the other hand, when I flew home it was about 26kg. This left me [...]

Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels. Sharing the little things I like about them and of course the video I like the most. This month is TED Talks. Unfortunately, almost all of the videos on this channel are over 10 minutes long, which doesn’t really make for quick viewing. TED Talks are influential videos from expert speakers on education, business, science, tech and creativity. I find they are particularly good for motivation. And sometimes I am looking to learn something new. The video above details how comedian James Veitch tried to unsubscribe to a local supermarket [...]

Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels, sharing the little things I like about them & of course the video I like best. This month is Mars One. I first heard about it in the middle of 2016 because an Australian woman was still a candidate for the program. "Where were you when people landed on Mars?" will be one of those conversations for my generation. Along with "where were you when man landed on the moon?" and "where were you when WWI/WWII ended?". At the moment all I have is "where were you on 9/11 (2001)?". [...]

Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels, sharing the little things I like about them & of course the video I like best. This month is RachhLoves. I can't remember how I came across this channel but I love how fun & uninhibited Rachel is. She also has a few different series that she adds to throughout the year. Some titles include: Lazy Girls Guide, Buy or Bye, and Pinterest Hacks Tested. BONUS And since it's Christmas, here's a bonus video! Click here to see more of Rachel’s videos.

Each month I feature one of my favourite YouTube channels. Sharing the little things I like about them and of course the video I like best. This month's favourite is Jenna Marbles. I can’t remember when I discovered Jenna's YouTube channel but I have had hours and hours of entertainment from her channel. Some of my favourite videos start with titles like "what girls/guys do/think". Then there are so many videos of her impersonations of celebrities. This video seems appropriate as I am now in the last year of my 20’s and could use some of this advice. Some of [...]

Each month I will feature one of my favourite YouTube channels, sharing the little things I like about them & of course the video I like best. This month is SugarMamma. I was introduced to SugarMamma's channel via Chloe Morello. I've read about checking your credit score on American personal finance blogs & never really understood why it is relevant to me. Thi video helps explain what your credit score is, why it is important & how you can check it. Click here to see more of SugarMamma's videos.
