I have recently gotten addicted to watching makeup tutorials on YouTube and my top two favorite YouTube artists right now are Kristin Lauria and Jaclyn Hill. They both have unique personalities and I'm a good mix of the two, so I think that's one reason I love both of them very much. I have watched every single one of Kristin Lauria's videos, and here are eight things she has taught us:
1. She's taught us to genuinely love who we are
In her YouTube video 'What's In My Heart | Self Confidence & Long Distance Relationships' she talks about how she has struggled her whole life with the fact that people aren't always going to accept her and some people will have different views than her. She says that this is OK and that she has accepted that. A person who can be OK with society not agreeing with them 24/7 is a person who loves who they are.
2. She's taught us that she's a believer of God
In her video "50 Facts About Me', Kristin Lauria reveals she became a Christian in the fifth grade at Pine Cove Camp. For me, personally, having someone to look up to is important, and it's more important that they are a follower of Christ.
3. She's taught us how to have a funny sense of humor
Kristin Lauria has funny vlogs on her channel like 'What's In My Mouth With My Sister' and 'How Well Does My Mom Know Me?'. I sometimes re-watch these videos just to get a good laugh in.
4. She's taught us how to have a fun relationship
Her and her boyfriend are #precious. They have countless videos of them doing crazy and sweet things. A few of my favorites are 'Guess the Body Part Challenge', 'Boyfriend Guesses Makeup Prices', and 'My Boyfriend Does My Makeup'.
5. She's taught us how to make use of small spaces
In her video 'Room Tour', she shows us just how small her tiny room is. If you watch the video (which I highly recommend) then you will understand why I am saying she's taught us how to make use of small spaces. Her room is hands down one of the cutest rooms I have ever seen!
6. She's taught us to travel while we can
I mean, seriously...How cute is she?! While stalking her Instagram or surfing her YouTube channel, you will see that she loves to travel. She has several YouTube videos of her and Marcus in Canada, and right now she's in Copenhagen. If there's anything other than makeup she's taught me, it's that you should travel while you can.
7. She's taught us how to use affordable makeup
As seen above, she has a video titled 'Drugstore Makeup Look'. This is one of my favorite videos because she is using affordable products that everyone has access to. In almost all of her videos, she uses affordable products. Most YouTube makeup artists don't, and that's all the more reason to love Kristin Lauria!
8. She's taught us to wait for the right person
She's getting married! Of course this is no reason to love someone, but this makes me love her even more as I know she's about to do some serious wedding planning! She's taught us the beauty of waiting for that person God has created for us - whether you find it while you're younger or older. I can't wait to see her vlogs that she will post for the wedding planning and actual wedding! *to watch her vlog on the engagement, click this link .
I'm telling y'all, this girl is something else. If you don't already watch her YouTube channel (Kristin Lauria), follow her on Instagram (@kristinlauria) or follow her on Snapchat (kristinlauria12) then you're missing out. You're gonna find yourself stalking her into the wee hours of the morning once you watch one vlog or stalk a few pictures. Do it, though, you won't regret it!
