Just because I took a bit of a break from creating myself, doesn't mean that I wasn't on social media.
I actually loved this time because I got a chance to be more on the other side of things.
Consuming content instead of creating it.
Here are my top five girlies that I've spent a lot of time with - some are long time faves and others were new discoveries.
If you've been on the beauty and lifestyle side of YouTube, I can't imagine there's a way you don't know who she is. A coquette glam modern Cinderella, she has some of the best vibes for those who love a Sophia Coppolla feel. If you're looking for someone to talk makeup and go vintage shopping with, she's your gal.
(Plus she was born on the 5th of May, just like yours truly, so that instantly makes her cool, right?)
2. India Moon
My favorite new discovery! India is based in the UK and is the coolest little thing. She'll give you all the best petite outfit and short hair inspo (still styling my hair with the ghd rise that she introduced me to. I'm obsessed but that's a blog post for another day!). She'll also warm your heart with life chats in her day-to-day vlogs. I tuned into every Vlogmas video last year and felt like I gained a new virtual friend. She loves pops of pastels, reading about dragons, and beach walks. Just follow her and thank me later.
One of India's best friends and a very recent content dive from me. Chic and so cute, she's the calm vibe you need after a long day. If India's a bright spring day, Chloe is a chilly autumn evening. Her nails and accessories are always exquisite and you'll love her catch-up stories on IG, too. Pour yourself a glass of wine and wind down on YouTube with her and Lena (her adorable doggo).
Again, another OG. I'd say she's a rediscovery for me. I started reconnecting with her content months ago and love seeing her in her 'business owner, wife and mother, still loving beauty' era. And her jewellery line, Raven James? Gorgeous. The Supernova pearl bracelet I've been longing for! She'll point you in the right direction for little luxuries for makeup, skincare, and fashion. But just a warning -you'll be jealous of her buttery-smooth voice the whole time you're watching.
The girl I turn to for boosts in self-esteem. If you're cute with curves, she'll show you just how it's done. Her dresses are always incredible and might make your wallet think 'oh no, not her again'. Every post makes me realize just how insanely beautiful we all are and are allowed to be, just as we are. Don't miss out on seeing those adorable posts with her hubby and little girl either. Her account never fails to make me smile.
And there ya have it! The gals I've been spending the most time with on Instagram and YouTube, my favorite platforms at the moment. I'd love to hear from you whose content you've been enjoying recently so I can check them out.
