You all know that I spend too much time watching YouTube, and one of my favorite beauty YouTubers is Georgia Harris. She’s cool as hell, and a little weird, and she likes Pokemon and beanies and I’m into it. She’s not your typical cookie cutter influencer and that’s a big part of her appeal. Anyway,…
Earlier this evening I finished work, and because I often lie to myself, I thought I’d idly watch some YouTube and research some stuff for blog posts and whatever. Usually, that means I’m going to zone out in front of the tv and do nothing productive, and tonight was no exception. The first video I…

This week Kat Von D uploaded a video to her YouTube channel in which she addressed the assertions that she’s not only anti-vax but also anti-semitic/pro-Nazi. This video comes nine months after the disastrous, much publicized and now deleted Instagram post in which she attempted to garner sympathy for how hard it is to be a…

I am very done with big “influencers”. I unsubscribed from most of them long ago, and the few who retained a shred of credibility, like Tati, have lost it. How can we trust them when they spend their time sucking up to brands and shilling their own terrible products? Answer: we can’t. It’s not in…
You all know that I watch a lot of YouTube. Like, A LOT. Especially when Dan isn’t here, and he’s in Philadelphia this week for work so it’s all YouTube, all the time. Primarily beauty “gurus”. I find them entertaining and many of them review things I’m into. Except for right now. Holy. Shit. Why…

Affiliate links. It seems like a lot of people have a lot of opinions about this, and I’m really not sure where I fall. As a consumer and a frequent watcher of YouTube/reader of blogs, I think that the people who are lucky enough to have codes and affiliate links and whatever should disclose it…
I have a confession to make: I really like drama channels on YouTube. I don’t remember how I first found channels like Petty Paige and Peter Monn, but I enjoy the two of them. I know there are a ton of drama channels but I don’t like some of the bigger ones, like Here For…
I don’t normally feel the need to comment on YouTube drama, but sometimes I just can’t help it. A few days ago, Jackie Aina posted a video claiming that an unnamed black, female drama YouTuber in another country had hacked her email and stolen $1500 from her. She made a whole bunch of claims in…
I watch a lot of YouTube. At this point, I spend more time watching YouTube than regular tv shows or movies, and I primarily watch beauty channels. I also watch a lot of paranormal channels, but unless I’m visiting Dan I really can’t watch those because I just get too scared. Anyway, I’ve been noticing…
Happy Sunday friends! I hope you’ve had a fantastic weekend and, unlike me, are ready to face the week tomorrow. I’ve spent my weekend taking care of business (meaning washing makeup brushes) and spending time with family. I hadn’t planned to comment on this, but I can’t help myself. Now, I don’t watch Tati’s channel.…
