8 Favourite YouTube Channels

Bucket list goal number #775 is to Write 100 Lists. I do believe that this is list 20 of 100. Slowly but surely I am getting closer to completing this goal. Anyway, I have today I have listed my favourite YouTube channels. Channels which I watch frequently, like on a daily sort of frequent. There is genuinely not a day that passes where I don't watch YouTube videos. Some people may find that quite excessive, which it might be. But, I feel like it is actually quite useful for me as I am working really hard at practicing my art of video making and producing content on to YouTube so the fact that I do watch YouTube videos every day is sort of like doing research. What are other people doing? Are there any effects, transitions, or visuals that they use which I like and could do similarly but with a more personal touch? But also, because I love watching YouTube videos. Therefore in absolutely no particular order, these are my favourite YouTube channels which I highly recommend watching (I watch way more channels than these, but, these are my number 1's, my mvp's, my gems).

1. Alpha M.

Alpha is the guy I'd want to be if I was a dude. I found his YouTube channel when I started watching videos concerning dapper male fashion. I've been dressing dapper for the past 2 and a half years and I have never felt so much myself. But, I felt like a was doing it slightly wrong and needed a few pointers. So I did what I do best and watched YouTube videos on the topic. Then I stumbled on Alpha M's channel and have been listening to the majority of his advice since. I say majority because he's highly against boat shoes, but god damn I love me

some boat shoes. Sorry Alpha, but, not really sorry.

2. Nutrition Facts

Dr. Greger is my dude when I need any sort of guidance regarding nutrition and healthy eating. Dr. Greger is the man you should turn to also, if you want to live a long, happy, healthy life. His number one catch phrase is “Every year I read through every issue of every English-language nutrition journal in the world so busy folks like you don't have to.” Which in summary is exactly what he does. He reads through thousands and thousands of scientific papers and experiments and then provides us with the information in a simple video, entirely free, as a tribute to the his grandma who proved her doctors wrong (she healed herself through food). And thus, Dr. Greger tries to teach us to take care of ourselves too, via food.

3. Peter McKinnon & 4. Casey Neistat

If you assumed these two would end up on my list, you were right. I love their style of vlogging and being a vlogger I can appreciate the work they do, especially Casey, I can just about post once a day, to post on a daily that would be a nightmare, so props to him for having been able to do that once upon a time. Saying that though, I LOVE Peter's transitions, video colourization, his sound effects and his general style. I mean, like, his office is on point. I love the woods, and the metals, and the hanging lights. The entire gentlemanly type feel he's got going on in his office, perfect.

5. Healthy Crazy Cool

This kid is freaking hilarious. I say kid but he's probably the same age as me. What I love about Miles, is that he gives great food advise and comes up with interesting recipes which tend to leave me extremely hungry. But one of the main reasons why I like Miles' videos is that he helps me not worry too much or be extremely strict upon myself when it comes to oils. I know oils aren't a health food by any means possible and from the words of Dr. Greger and Dr. Esselstyn I know that oil can hurt our arteries, but surely a little treat once in a while which has the tinniest bit of oil in it shouldn't do great harm. And it's people like Miles (and obviously my partner Georgia) that help me stay slightly grounded and not get super obsessed with eating healthy. The fact that I am a hypochondriac and have OCD tend to mean that I can at times have an extremely unhealthy relationship with food. So thank you Miles for reminding me that a little oil from time to time is fine.

6. Julien Solomita & Jenna Marbles

Julien was one of the very first vloggers I ever started watching, even before Casey or Peter. I was instantly hooked to watching his videos. His vlogs seem to have a binge factor to them. The kind of binge that can last for days on end. I just love his vlogging style and I love watching his and Jenna's love story grow. Not to mention the fact that he captures their 3 dogs a lot in his videos and they are to die for. Those 3 little pups are cute, strange and absolutely funny. But most importantly they are adorable as fuck together. They are, by far, my favourite straight couple. And Jenna, well, she's just god damn hilarious, and perfect when I need a pick me up.

7. Matt D'Avella

Don't even get me started on D'Avella. I sort of wish I was D'Avella. I love his video style, I love the way his interior is designed, I love the way he dresses. If I was a dude I'd want to have his face and his hair. But the reason why I was Matt's videos is because I love what he says concerning minimalism, I feel like the way he says it helps quite a bit, but it's what he says that I find rather inspiring. I've been trying to be a minimalist for the past 6 months or so and his videos help remind me of what's important whenever decluttering gets rather difficult. I also really love his podcast and find those rather inspiring. Also, how can one look so dapper yet dress so simply at the same time. What is your secret?

8. Rose and Rosie

​I've been watching Rose and Rosie since I first came out at the age of 18. They helped me to accept my sexuality as being that I was raised religiously and had previously been taught that being gay was wrong and sinful, they allowed me to accept how natural it felt, despite being told many times and by various people that it was unnatural. Seeing two happy women madly in love, having a beautiful, developmental, caring, enriching relationship full of laughter, love and understanding helped me accept the way I felt and to know that what I wanted was a good thing after all. So, thank you.

So there it is, another list closer to completing my bucket list goal. P.s I definitely recommend checking all these channels out if you have not done so already. I hope you all have an amazing week.
