They're my guilty pleasure, especially Fleur De Force even though I'm older than most of them and know they're just flogging loads of product at me.

Lots of my friends think it's pretty sad, but I'm a bit addicted! Do you have any Youtubers/Vloggers you quite like to watch?

I'm really missing Rob Dyke at the moment Sad I did used to watch a lot of zoella etc but have weaned myself off a few channels. I do like Superfruit and The Five Strings are a talented bunch of kids. I used to watch matt Santoro but can only take so many 50 amazing facts that'll blow my mind Grin

TrinityRhino · 27/08/2017 15:44

I watch loads of You Tubers. none that you have mentioned

I feel like I shouldn't admit to what I watch Grin

CaptainHammer · 27/08/2017 15:46

I like Jun and Rachel. They live in Japan and have 3 gorgeous cats! Jun has a cooking channel too. I also love Disneyworld holiday vloggers.

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth - Louise/Sprinkle hasn't shown her daughter in a couple of years. She did when she was very young, but has since changed her mind. Her channel has changed a lot. Don't know anything about strops though.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 27/08/2017 17:12

I like Antonella the uncensored reviewer. She's hilarious.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 27/08/2017 17:12

I spend quite a lot of time watching some japanese chefs making a funny omelette. One had a cat.

Then somehow I ended up on Gordon Ramsey's channel.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 27/08/2017 17:13

Sorry, spent , it was a one off thing. I hope.

I like them too, FDF, Louise and the like

But Tanya Burr makes me insanely angry can't exploit she just drives me crazy

Screwinthetuna · 27/08/2017 17:17

I like watching Aaryn Williams, although I wouldn't tell anyone! I watch it when DH is away.

YellowPrimula · 27/08/2017 17:23

I am a bit addicted to booktubers , especially Savidgereads, Ariel Bissett, Reads and Daydreams and Jen Campbell , also like Jeans bookishthoughts . Like a PP they are my guilty pleasure .

TypicallyEnglishMustard · 27/08/2017 17:29

YES, yellowprimula! Booktube is the best.

If you like Jean and Jen, you should try Shoutame, she's got similar content to them, and is kind of up-and-coming on Booktube.

user14 - I know what you mean. I think it's the baby voice and the way she plays up her ditsiness. It's a shame because her makeup tutorials were (possibly still are, I haven't watched any of her new stuff) great and very confident, professional, authoratitive etc. But her vlog persona is so different.

Copperspot · 27/08/2017 17:38

I agree on Tanya Burr. She used to do proper make up tutorials and seemed a genuinely nice girl. Now Does the same look all the time and puts on a silly little baby voice. Its all 'oh Jim, what do i do? Oh help me! ' Hmm

I also don't like the fact that everytime they get a bit more money she upgrades her engagement ring. She's on her third one now. Trashy.

PNGirl · 27/08/2017 17:38

I recommend Retroflame. I can listen to her Irish accent all day.

YellowPrimula · 27/08/2017 17:40

Mustard will have a look , Simon on Savidgereads is my all time fave , I have become a bit addicted I think 😳Books and Quills also good

SerendipityFelix · 27/08/2017 17:47

I love a bit of vacuous tubing Grin but have gone off the 'style/beauty' ones recently as it all just seems same old same old, here's my monthly favourites that I'm getting paid to flog you. I had a subscription clear out recently and deleted ones like FDF and Vivianna/Anna etc. Most of my feed is now on gardening/allotments (I like What Vivi Did Next, Collier Garden and Lovely Greens), minimalism/lifestyle (Jenny Mustard, Lavendaire) and health/vegan food (Pick Up Limes, JessBeautician, Avantgarde Vegan, NutritionFacts). I will also binge on cleaning/organisation/decluttering videos but not many that I actually want to subscribe to, so many of them seem to head down the 'surrendered wife' trope it gets depressing.

Oh and a bit of Game of Thrones fan theory stuff at the moment too.

But I prefer youtubers who sell me ideas and inspiration rather than Stuff.

SerendipityFelix · 27/08/2017 17:49

Oh and Mayim Bialik posts brilliant videos. Can't categorise her, just watch!

YellowPrimula · 27/08/2017 17:55

Can anyone recommend any good vegetarian family cooking channels , we are not veggie but want to move towards being veggie for at least half the week , need to convince teenage boys though !

Fishandthechips · 27/08/2017 18:28

I'm so glad that I'm not the only person who watches youtubers whose not a teenager! I absolutely love Kate Murnane who was the first one I ever got into years ago. Also love belles boutique and I covet thee (and not just because she has an adorable dog).

whyhastherumgone · 27/08/2017 21:24

I'm a sucker for the dogs as well @fishandthechips

I watch YouTube rather than tv. I love speed cleaning and day in the life vids I watch Brummy Mummy of 2, Kate Murnane, mummy daddy me, mrs meldrum, Amy being Mum, this mama life and loads of other random ones but my favourite is Casey Neistat - he is not a mummy vlogger - he is a complete mad head! (Oh and I am in my 30s)

ilovetoski · 05/09/2017 11:52

I dip in and out but really like Emily Norris, Mrs Meldrum and Littlewoodlife on Instagram.....I also follow Sophie Patterson interiors but just to annoy myself! She is so annoying with her perfect house/husband/child/gardeners/housekeeper/.........( makes me slightly envious I admit)
At least Mrs Meldrum and Emily Norris keep it real with slightly messy houses and non perfect kids

ShelleyMummyVlogs · 23/09/2017 10:57

I am a youtuber I have my own channel but I also love watching lots of other youtubers - I have done for about 3/4 years now x
