     Im going to make this short and sweet. It has been a long time since I have felt motivation. Essena (O'Neill) and her new site have truly moved me and made me question: am I living the life I want to live?
                                   Essena O'Neill

   It has not been an easy few months for me. I thought I had made the right decision in starting college, but realising how unhappy I have been has made me question everything...

   We are so consumed by what others want for us and what everyone else is doing that our vision of what we truly want becomes clouded. Do what feels right in your heart and soul.

                                   

                   Peace out

My 5 Favourite Vegan Youtubers!


So there are many vegan youtubers and these are just a few of the ones I am subscribed to...

Some have been the ones who helped me become/decide to become vegan, some are ones whom I get recipie videos from and some are ones who I simply love!

In no particular order, here we go!!





           TOP 15 HEALTHY PACKAGED VEGAN SNACKS ❤️❤️❤️ new vid 😜😜😜 this is making me extremely hungry… Ahhh (Ps Bae just arrived…. @bonnyrebecca 😁😁😁) 
      Essena is an aussie blogger/model with over 200,000 subs on Youtube! 

     She has LOTS of "what I eat in a day" videos which are very helpful and make you hungry haha
           
     She also has a 'live on a dollar a day' video which shows how AMAZINGLY CHEAP EATING VEGAN CAN BE!!! 
           

     


Last night felt like magic 🍒   



    Essena has recently been doing a 'get healthy with me' vlog series in which she discusses physical and emotional health, it is super interesting and motivating!


I highly recommend you check her out if you haven't already!


    Emy is a french blogger/student living in Paris. Her channel has over 66,000 subs

     Although her channels main focus isn't on veganism there is still lots of vegan videos to be seen!

   She speaks mostly in English on her channel but sometimes French and Japanese! She has some videos about languages and her travels if that interests you.


She talks about issues such as feminism, body image, sexuality, gender and she also has lots of advice videos!

Hi! I'm Emy!  Please check her channel out! 


 

   Anji and Ryan are a vegan, Southern Californian couple in their 40s. Their channel has over 65,000 subs! They are perfect examples of how a vegan diet is healhtier than a vegetarian diet, they have made many videos about their diet/health/lifestyle before becoming HCLF(high carb low fat) vegans.

     They have TONS of recipie and food shopping videos which dominate the channel, however they also make videos on current relevant vegan issues, controversial topics about veganism and lots of information about a vegan lifestyle apart from diet! 

   They are simply the loveliest warmest people.







Emily is a 20 year old Canadian/middle-eastern vegan youtuber with over 19,000 subs, who's family has a hobby farm! A hobby farm is 
basically a farm where they do not profit from the animals, they keep and feed the animals, and do not take from them. I am so  jealous she grew up peacefully with animals. 



 She mainly makes recipie/'what i eat in a day' videos. She has started doing daily vlogs which I really enjoy, she recently moved to Toronto and works in a vegan and gluten free restaurant, which I am also very jealous of!




UNISEX Friends Not Food Vegan/Vegetarian T-shirt


   Emily has/had Grave's disease and in the past cured her disease by eating raw, she has made videos about it if you want to know more,


   I also relate to Emily on many levels. She openly speaks about her eating disorders and she really does make me so much more comfortable with myself. 


 Emily also has an etsy shop with cute vegan tshirts and badges for sale quite cheap! go check it out!>>

  



forever playing in the trees…   Kalel is am American passionate vegan youtuber/designer, with a HUGE audience she has over 1,790,000 subs!

  Kalel's channel was originally a daily vlog channel she and her ex-boyfriend shared. They became vegetarian, then vegan and along the way spoke openly about/promoted their lifestyle to a wide and young audience.

  Since their break-up, Kalel has kept the channel and changed it to a personal channel where she does lifestyle, clothing, travel, vegan/recipe videos. 



     Now, I would like to say a bit about how Kalel has affected me personally. I started watching her channel when she had just become vegetarian. At the time, I was on-and-off vegetarian, struggling.           Kalel's videos showed me why and how I should live cruelty free. Kalel is the only other person whom I feel loves animals as much as me(she has cats, I have a cat...) so when she made a heart-breaking video on the animal industry and her emotions. I remember how horrified I was. 




   Kalel's daily vlogs really gave me an insight into a vegan diet and how diverse and amazing it is. I really believe that if it weren't for her, I would have not become vegan till later in my life.


 She's also hilarious, if you need more incentive! 









And that concludes my favourites!

I of course watch many other vegan youtubers, but I just wanted to write about a few!

Thank you for reading, I hope you found some new people to find inspiration/advice from!
