YouTube Favorites

Hello and welcome back to the blog. In this post, I will be sharing some YouTube channels and videos I've been enjoying watching lately.

1. What Would You Do is an American television show in which actors depict scenes of conflict and illegal activity which happen in everyday life and the focus is on whether bystanders will intervene. It is all recorded on hidden cameras. The show is hosted by news correspondent John Quinones and airs on ABC in America. Scenes can be watched on their YouTube channel.



2. I found a song called Can't Beat Love uploaded on YouTube by a guy named Justin Wack. I don't know anything about him as there is no information in the 'about' section but the five songs on the channel are amazing and his voice is great! This is is latest song. 

3. One of my favorite YouTubers is Rachel-Lea. She makes home organization, lifestyle, self-care and motivational videos which are very useful. 

4. This year, the Olympic games were to be held in Tokyo but has been postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The only time I watch sports is during the Olympics. Previous Olympic events can be watched on YouTube, from full opening and closing ceremonies to big events such as Cathy Freeman gold medal winning run in the  400 metre final at the Sydney 2000 Olympic games. If you want to relive these special moments, check out the Olympic channel. 

5. One of my favorite winter olympic sports is ice hockey and lately I have been watching videos of NHL hockey players interacting with fans. It's so sweet seeing kids reactions when they receive sticks and other souvenirs from their favorite players, 

6.  Jordan Matter is a photographer who does photo shoots with dancers, contortionists, acrobats, gymnasts and circus performers. His 10-minute photo challenges are so much fun! 

7. Dhar Mann is a filmmaker who tells inspiring stories through his videos about life, business and relationships. The videos are relatable and teach valuable lessons.

I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
