Bria Lou Reviews

Hey Guys x Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I just had a really bad day! Anyway, I used my bad day to finally finish Zoe Sugg's latest novel, Girl Online On Tour. I've written a post about YouTuber books, so it's a bit ironic that this is the first book I'm reviewing in 2016! I reviewed the first Girl Online book, which you can see here . You might want to read that first because this book follows on from the first one. I just noticed that my first book reviews of both 2015 and 2016 have been Zoe's books. Anyway, let me get on with the review. I'm assuming that you know about Girl Online so, if you don't, this review might contain spoilers. Penny is back! And this time, everything's different. Penny's about to go on tour with Noah. Yes, following Brooklyn Boy around Europe seems like the best thing in the world! However, Penny soon finds that tour life isn't everything she thought it would be. She's alone, worried, and has no ...

Hey Guys x I've done this post three times before, the last was in April last year so it's been a while! I love doing this because it allows you guys (and me) to see how my taste in YouTubers changes from year to year, and this one is particularly different because I've kind of been going off 'mainstream' YouTubers so to speak. And by 'Mainstream' I mean really popular ones with over a million subscribers. There are still some in here, but I'm also hoping to introduce you to some others that you've probably heard of but haven't given a chance! Anyway, without further ado, here are my current top 10 YouTubers! 10: Marcus Butler Subscribers: 4,176,928 Right now, I'm really liking Marcus' second channel, MoreMarcus, where he has been posting different videos every single day. I don't love every video that he does, but there are a few that I really do love, particularly when he reads fanfiction (which, as a fanfic writer myse...

  Hey Guys!   This is my first post of 2015! And I'm kicking off 2015 with a book review. And what book is better to review than the last one that I have read?   To be honest, I have been quite a big fan of Zoe Sugg over the last few months. I'm not as big a fan of her now as when I began watching YouTubers, but I am still a fan, and I was really excited to get her book for Christmas!   The book is about a girl called Penny. In real life, she is shy, clumsy and generally awkward. Online however, is a different story. Penny runs an anonymous blog called 'Girl Online'. She uses this to blog about her embarrassing moments, friends and everything in between without her real friends (bar her best friend Elliot) ever finding out. A year later, thousands of followers and leading a (sort of) double life is treating Penny quite well. Apart from the panic attacks. Penny secretly suffers from panic attacks, and no matter what she does, she can't get rid of th...

Once again, it's time for my favourites of the month. I can't believe that I've been blogging long enough for this to be my third 'favourites' post! I hope you enjoy what I've been enjoying this month. Favourite Movie: The Fault In Our Stars I saw this movie last Sunday and posted a review of it the Monday after, so you already know how much I love this film with all my heart. A lot of people don't really understand the obsession over the film and book, but I strongly advise anyone who hasn't read/seen the book or film to do it immediately, because I loved it so much, and I can't wait to watch it again as soon as possible. Favourite TV Show: Family Guy   I've always loved family guy, but since I've returned to college I find family guy one of the easiest and funny things to watch. There's no real ongoing plot and I don't have to concentrate too hard on it. It is very rude and crude, but I love it all the same. Definitel...

Before I start this post, I want to link two videos. They are both 'Zoella' videos in which she talks about anxiety in general and her own anxiety. I want to do this because I want you to know that I am in no way an expert on anxiety, and although Zoella isn't an expert either, she knows more about it than I do. Dealing With Panic Attacks And Anxiety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-iNOFD27G4 Anxiety Q&A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjuk3WMZByo I have anxiety. I don't know if what I have is an anxiety disorder or just 'normal' anxiety, but it has always been a normal part of my life, and I've never really spoken to anyone in depth about it. From a young age, being in certain social situations has literally filled me with dread and to this day, this has never really changed. The older I get, the harder it becomes because I'm much more aware of it. For example, I may not have liked going to big parties when I was 10, but now I'm old en...

It's time for another tag! I thought that, as I have been horrible at posting this week, rather than posting a review, I would post something that's a bit more fun and that I could spend a bit of time on. I have independently created a tag that I want as many of you reading to do as possible. I have created 29 questions, strictly about youtubers that fall into 3 categories: Questions based on you, Youtuber Awards and Your YouTube family. Feel free to read through my questions and them do them for your own blogs! As there are a lot of questions, I'll keep my explanations short but feel free to expand on yours! Questions about You! Favourite Female Youtuber? At the moment, my favourite female youtuber is Zoe Sugg (Zoella) as I am addicted to watching her vlogs and she really makes me want to start a youtube channel. She actually inspired me to start this blog. Favourite Male Youtuber? Going hand-in-hand with Zoe Sugg is her brother Joe Sugg. Choosing this was a much...

My favourite YouTubers! Many of you may not know this, but I am a huge fan of YouTubers. I literally spend all of the spare time that I have stalking them on twitter and watching/re-watching their videos. So I thought that I would put some of my favourites into this blog, by letting you know who I consider to be my top 10! 10. Tanya Burr Subscribers: 2,044,318 Tanya Burr is at number 10! Although she is a fashion and beauty guru, which doesn't interest me (as I am as far from fashionable as one could be) what I love about Tanya is her bubbly personality. Watching her for  5 minutes could instantly make me smile from ear to ear without fail. She is also inspirational as she found something she liked (Doing make-up) and made it her profession. She now has a range of 'lips and nails' products on sale in Superdrug and it is hard not to be proud of her after seeing how hard she has worked for what she now has. Favourite Video: "'What is it?' Challenge wit...
