YouTubers to watch: lifestyle edition

I first discovered YouTube back in elementary school, and I've been hooked ever since.

From my humble beginnings of watching popular YouTubers like Michelle Phan, Nigahiga, and Bethany Mota, my YouTube taste palette has developed like a fine wine over the years.

From lifestyle, beauty, productivity, fashion, food, the choices on YouTube feel endless. So, I have scoured the YouTube land for you so you don't have to and narrowed it down to the following YouTubers you have to watch right now.

*Disclaimer: I'm a 24-year-old Millennial/Gen Z living in Vancouver, Canada trying to make it as a micro-influencer. I care about animals, the planet, and enjoying everyday life. I went to school to learn marketing. I'm an Aquarius. If you vibe with this, you will LOVE these YouTubers just like me.

With over a decade under my belt of being an avid YouTube consumer, I feel confident in telling you that these are the lifestyle YouTubers you should know about today.

Alia Zaita

My new favourite YouTuber atm. Seattle-based. University student vlogging her everyday life. Super relaxed and real.

Allegra Shaw

One of the first Canadian YouTubers I discovered. Toronto-based. Living vicariously through her before I move to Toronto. SUCH a vibe, lots of fashion content as well.

Leah's Fieldnotes

Montreal-based. Super down-to-earth, thrifty artsy vibes. Has videos in English, French, Mandarin. Would love to be her friend IRL.

Angel Zheng

Vancouver-based. I feel most similar to her. She works at a Canadian tech startup in marketing. Has a puppy. I 100% recognize the environment in her videos, which is exciting.

Michelle Choi

NYC-based. Living my New York City dreams vicariously through her. Has a puppy. Lots of vlogs on cooking at home, and everyday life things.

If you're looking for some new blood in your YouTube subscription list, definitely give these gals a shot.

(P.S. I secretly started a YouTube channel. Check it out here.)
