Why I started YouTube

Hey lovelies.

So today's post is a little bit different, I didn't feel like taking some pictures, uploading them and telling you a bit about them.. I wanted to have a chat with you all instead and tell you why I started my YouTube Channel.

Back in August 2013 me and my friend made a You Tube Channel called the BeautyObsessors, we both were inspired by so many You Tubers such as Zoe, Louise, Tanya, Jim, Joe, Alfie, Marcus etc so we both decided to start a Channel ourselves. We done a couple videos but couldn't keep on top of them because at the time we had just started Sixth form and was super busy with our work so Kirsty is now still super busy with her next year of A Levels so she wont be doing them anymore which is why i made myself a channel. One day Kirsty may feature on my new channel :) I've got a lot of spare time on my hands whilst deciding what path i'm going to take next year so in the mean time, i'll be uploading videos and posts!

My channel is BeautyObsessor 
I have only made two videos on my Channel so far and am really enjoying it, it's now my new Hobby! When I sit down on a Monday or Tuesday to film ( because I upload Wednesdays ) I feel in my comfort zone and feel happy to be sitting in front of a camera and talking to you, although I've not quite got the hang of cameras, editing and uploading yet.. I'm still working on it. 

Before I started my channel I've watched YouTube videos for at least 3 years and thought to  myself if they can sit in front of a camera and talk for 10 minutes then so can I. I wanted to start my own channel as soon as i watched the first ever YouTube video which was a makeup tutorial. I uploaded my first Intro Video last week and saw a couple of girls comment on it, I was so not expecting that!! It made me so happy that someone actually noticed my video :D

In 5 years time, I would LOVE to see myself right where Zoe Sugg is right now! I know, big dream huh? But if you can dream it, you can do it right?

The point of this post is too just basically tell YOU right now who is reading this- If you are thinking of making a Channel on whatever you enjoy then do it!! Make videos that you want to watch, it's a lot more enjoyable talking about what you love in front of a camera. Having the confidence is another issue, like me I am not a very confident person.. I am so so shy and would not have expected to make a YouTube channel myself. However, when I done it I felt so proud and it was encouraging to do more, so I will be and I really hope that you enjoy the videos I make!

Do what YOU want, if you don't, You'll regret not doing it.
