Something I've wanted to do for a while is share my favorite YouTube channels. But every time I considered doing it as a post on social media, I would get overwhelmed and set the idea aside. What better way to give it the attention it deserves and shift back into author mode than to post it here? Also, typing everything out on my phone sounded absolutely horrendous.
And for those of you who are curious, I plan to start drafting next week.😉 As I type this, aesthetic photos look down upon me from my bulletin board and a blue binder containing character sheets, scene ideas, & town places sits to my left. I have dubbed my little town "Kirkley."🩷
Side note: A number of these YouTubers have books, so be sure to check those out as well!
Bernadette Banner: If you're a fan of fashion history, hand sewing, and corsetry, this is the place for you!
Charlie Follows: I really enjoyed the yoga teacher I was following online before Charlie, but I wasn't a huge fan of the pilates-style movements she would occasionally throw in to her practices. Charlie has a body type similar to mine and gives modifications that help. There's generally no music in her videos, which annoyed me at first, but it didn't take me long to adjust and appreciate the quiet.
Katherine Haircare: Historical haircare. While I don't do clay washing like Katherine, I've implemented other practices that I'm really loving like hair oiling, using aloe in place of hairspray or gel, and making my own dry shampoo from cocoa and cornstarch.
Little House on the Mountain: Cozy & aesthetic. Faith-based. Healthy living.
Melody Joy Williams: This is a new channel to me, and I've only watched/listened to her videos where she reads scripture to what she calls "soaking music." It's very soothing & a great way to get in a lot of scripture in a short time since it can be listened to while you're cooking, cleaning, or getting ready for the day.
More Than Farmers: Homesteading. Michelle brings practicality, Codi brings big ideas, & I am here for it!
Mountain Mama's Home (& Mountain Mama's Home Kitchen): Homemaking, homesteading, & homeschooling. Shayla thinks a little out the box, which I appreciate. I've implemented a few organizational things I picked up from her channel into my kitchen. Let me tell you, with a kitchen as small as mine, the space it freed up continues to make me happy.
Rachel Maksy: Sewist, crafter, maker, vintage enthusiast, & cosplayer. If you don't know why I love her channel, you must be new here. Go check her out!!
Tasting History with Max Miller: Max makes a historical recipe & shares the history connected to it. Excellent! 10 out of 10.
The Honeystead: Herbalism, beekeeping, & homesteading.
Townsends: History & life in the 18th century, mostly focused around the food.
Whipporwill Holler: Homesteading. A little gardening & a lot of cooking.
Whispering Willow Farm: Homesteading. Gardening, sour dough, and natural wellness. Not gonna lie, the turquoise bandana I recently bought is all Jill's fault. She knows how to rock that boho/hippie look.
**Bonus channels:**
Mariah Pattie: Sewing. Mariah hadn't posted any videos for a while because she had a baby. I finally got around to watching her most recent video and, well, let's just say I fell down the let's-rewatch-all-the-videos rabbit hole.😂
The Promised Land: AKA "The Promised Land series" & not to be confused with a television show of the same name back in the day. A humorist twist on the biblical story. Think Moses & the children of Israel meets The Office. A fan favorite is Chisisi, an Egyptian who survived the Red Sea and is now living among them pretending to be Hebrew. While the pilot episode has been out for some time, Season 1 officially begins October 1. You can catch both on YouTube.
Blessings,
Jessica ♡
