My Favorite YouTube Channels

Hey guys, happy weekend to you all! How's it going? We went through a cold spell, but it's warming up now. Which I'm happy about. ^__^


So, do you ever find yourself spending hours watching YouTube videos?? Waste of your life, I know. Let me help you waste your life more by sharing my favorite YouTube channels. xD Lol, okay, you can watch in moderation, then it isn't wasting your life. 

Anyhow, here are 7 YouTube channels I enjoy! Maybe you like these channels as well. Let's go!

Not necessarily in order from fave to least fave




1. Blimey Cow

I love Blimey Cow. What else to say? Brothers Jordan and Josh 
run this channel, formerly home-schooled, nice guys. Their videos are my kind of funny, often a mix of humor and wisdom. *laughs* I enjoy it. *

Their newest video

2. Jordan Taylor

The personal YouTube channel of one of the guys from Blimey Cow. I like these people, okay? :P His wife is in a lot of them as well, which is cool. :) 

One of their recent videos "The Most Unplanned Video of All Time"

3. Jessica Kobeissi

Jessica is a photographer, so I find a lot of her videos fun to watch! If you're into photography, you may find some of her videos inspiring and\or informational! :) *

Her newest video, "5 Creative Photography Hacks With GLASS"

4. Dav and Bethy

This is a new channel, and so far they only have one video up. But I've been following Bethany and her sisters on Instagram, as well as Girl Defined (of which Bethany is a co-founder), so I'm guessing this will be a great channel! They are such awesome, fun, grounded Christian people. :)

Their first video

5. Trey Kennedy

This guy is makes funny stereotype\exaggerated videos... of sorts. It's humor. Apparently my kind of humor, because I like a lot of his videos. :P *

"Every Mom When Company is on the Way" (lolll)

6. John Crist

Another Christian comedian (tho I'm not actually 100% that Trey is a Christian?). So yeah, a lot of his stuff is funny too. :P He and Trey Kennedy do compilations sometimes. *

"Virtual Reality Church" ridiculous, but funny. And maybe eye-opening for some? xP

7. Paul and Morgan

A great, solid Christian couple giving advice on Life, Love, and Dating. ^__^

One of their most recent videos "Reacting to Your Assumptions about Us"

*disclaimer: just because I like these channels doesn't mean I agree with or recommend ALL of the content

February 2019

Spring officially starts in about eighteen days! Are you excited? I actually saw daffodils by a river on the way home from town today. Then you know what comes next, after spring... summer! ;P I'm looking forward to lounging by the pool and (hopefully) getting a nice tan this summer, since I have a free YMCA membership, and they have a pool! Those are going to be the perks of working there this summer. The not-perk is that it's probably going to be way busier, since the older kids will be out of school. I guess maybe having a crazy morning will make relaxing in the sun by the pool that much sweeter. 

But sorry if I'm making you miss summer too badly. *winks* Let's get to the highlights and phone-photo-dump of February.

\\ Three cousins from out of state came for a visit! It was great seeing them.

\\ Found out that my newest sibling is brother #4!! <33 Can't wait to meet him in May!!!! *anticipating the baby snuggles*

\\ Currently watching: ROAD TO AVONLEA. We love it! Sometimes we watch like, three episodes in one night! And they're probably about 40 minutes long. xD

\\ There is a lot of food in this photo dump. *shrugs*

Strawberry kombucha and a giant sub from Walmart. ;) And playing games with our visiting cousins.

Bookstore and Costco smoothie :)

Chick-fil-A after work and work-out

Valentine's Day

Grilled chicken club, I think <3

I went off sugar (mostly, heh) for about a week. So I bought a bunch of fruit, and decided to try a papaya. I definitely don't love it plain, but my mom made a delicious smoothie with frozen papaya and strawberries. :)

Healthy strawberry shortcake... And reading Love Defined.

Finally got "my" vehicle (it's not really mine) clean, between the car wash and some hand scrubbing. ;P

Also, our faveee show right now- Road to Avonlea. <3 ^^^

Driving to work one foggy morning. My older sister now works at the same place as me, so we usually ride together now. ;)

Dunkin's mocha frozen coffee. Idk if me and coffee go together. xP I felt a little off later after drinking this... I didn't even drink the whole thing! Must be the sugar and caffine together or something.

And my mom's delectable strawberry papaya smoothie (while I was ordering prints. Excited for them to be ready to pick up. *winks*).

Sunday church outfit... and later went to watch Play the Flute at the theater. The parking lot had a little river in it. xP

Bai drink and working out. Captain was kinda cute with this little stuffed dog. xD

Little "Pom Monster" craft we made with the kids at work. xP This one looked like a princess, haha. Also, a BEAUTIFUL day when it was in the 70's!

Taking a walk with my brother and sister, on that super nice day.

Down at the creek. The water was icy cold.

MOMENTS \\

Little brother: "3+3-3 is 3."

Me: "You're smart!!" :o

Sister: *annoyed with little sis continually using the electric sharpener* "holy hexagon!"

Me: *cracks up*

Little sis: *puts down a draw 2 card in a game of UNO*

Cousin: "You reindeer!"

Another cousin: *my sister wins the round of a game* "You little amiba!" 

My sister: "What's that, skunk?"  (lol, they're so nice to each other xD)

My second alarm goes off. I shut it off. I lay back down. I fall asleep. I have a dream. Good thing my sister works with me now, so she could wake me up. xP

Little brother: "What in the dynamic donkey!" xD xD oh my goodness

Skipping rocks down at the creek with my brother and sister.

Ice Land PHOTOS {+ some survey results}

Happy Saturday everyone! How was your week? Mine was good. We recently had some freezing rain, so I'm sharing some icy pictures again, today! I used my little macro lens attachment on some of these... I indicate the ones that I'm pretty sure I used it to take. I hope you enjoy them!

Also, I have a few results from my recent survey. ;)

SHOULD I START A NEW BLOG?

No: 77.78%

Yes: 22.22%


So you guys like my current blog- thank you. ;) Maybe I will start am additional blog in the future, about fashion or something. Again, we'll see. I have SO many interests, it's hard to figure out which one to go after. If I go after them all, I'll probably get a bit overwhelmed. :P

WHAT PICTURE IS YOUR FAVORITE?

WHICH POST DO YOU HOPE I DO FIRST?

Black Bean Mousse Brownies

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY WEEEEEKENNNND! 

How are you guys? Did you have a fun Valentine's Day? Okay, maybe you were single and sad, but whatever. I'm sorry. :P I'm single as can be, and I honestly didn't feel sad about it on the 14th. *shrugs* Not that I've really been old enough to even qualify as a "single" for very long, so I guess I can't say anything yet. *laughs*

It's ok, y'all. There's hope. :P I'm actually doing a book study for this book, Love Defined, right now. The authors, founders of GirlDefined Ministries, are currently putting on a study of the book on their Instagram account. They've been doing a live video every day. So yeah, I'm hoping I'll become wiser. =D 

Anyhow, another thing I decided to do a couple days ago is go off of eating sugar. I have cheated... I mean, they offered me chocolate strawberries at work twice in a row. So I ate two chocolate strawberries. :P I decided dark chocolate DOESN'T count, so I've eaten 70-85% dark chocolate too. Also, savory sauces at restaurants don't count. I make my own rules, ok? lol.

So yesterday, since I'm off sugar, I decided to make a healthy dessert. The idea was brownies, but my creation turned out more mousse\pudding "brownie". Here's the recipe. ^__^

BLACK BEAN MOUSSE BROWNIES


15 oz can black beans

1\4 cup cocoa powder

1\2 cup walnuts

2 eggs

1\2 tsp salt

1 banana

4 tbsp butter, melted

1\2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp yogurt

2 tbsp maple syrup

1\3 cup water


Place all ingredients into a blender and blend well. Pour into a lightly greased 9"x9" glass pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 28 minutes. Let cool and enjoy! 

tip: combine some yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla for a topping. Even better, whip some cream and sweeten it with maple syrup.

If you're not eating sugar, maybe you'll want to give this a try. It's good, and filling. You could even eat it for breakfast. :)

Also, if you did the survey in my last post thanks! If you haven't done it, it's currently still open. :)



WHAT'S UP? WOULD YOU TRY THIS RECIPE?

January 2019

First month of 2019 done already, and here's the photo dump! I'd love to get a new phone soon, so my pictures can be less grainy. Ha.

Maybe I'll get better with my blogging in February. I don't know. :P

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I was the only one in my family who stayed up (that I know of). I think we had colds in the house though, so that's probably why.

Disc golfing with my older brother and a couple other siblings. :) We had a good time. My mom and the younger kids were there too, just not playing with us. :P

We got Zaxby's after. My brother left back home the next day.

Big bookstore! I found a record of instrumental music. Beethoven and stuff, I think. It's probably one of the best records I have so far... it's hard to find music that's MY style, because most of it is older. Duh. xP 

A little "road trip". ;) Saw some old friends briefly, and a gorgeous place!!

Culver's for lunch!

<333

I went shopping at T.J.Maxx one day (I had a gift card from a Christmas party) and found this CUUUTEE shirt! I think it was only about $7. I also got a really nice long cardigan and sweatpants for working out.

Jack Frost had been on my wild shield. *winks*

My own marinated chicken (idk if it sat long enough but...), salad, quinoa, and homemade Orange Julius for supper. :)

Working out after work. :P I like the treadmill (just walking for about 20 minutes or so, generally) and the weight pulley things.

Chinese buffet with the cousins

Fun surprise from my pen pal! <3 His name is Fluffy. xD

Frostyyyyy

Starbucks and chatting with the older sister. I don't know much about coffee, but it turns out lattes taste a lot like... coffee. *laughs at myself* OK, I knew it was coffee, but it was pretty much only that. I like the smell of coffee, but the taste isn't as good. #sorrycoffeecrazies xD lol

I've been enjoying this Tangerine Orange Zinger herbal tea with my cold recently. ;)

LOL. Selfies and sitting outside with no jacket in 15 degree air so my sister could take my pic. xP 

I tried following a tutorial for doing eye shadow, and it actually looked pretty good (not like theirs, but hey). So yeah, hiii. 

HAPPENINGS: 

brought in the year 2019!! \\ my big brother was here \\ got a little snowstorm \\ temperatures were in the teens for a little bit... I liked seeing frozen ponds and such; but I don't like the cold \\ looked up from watching a movie to see three cousins from across the country standing there, in my house. I had no clue they were coming!!! xD Yayyy!
