Favourite Youtuber!

So, I thought i needed to update my blog... even though nobody reads it. It makes me feel good about myself to have one.
So (I must stop starting my sentences with "so," it just isn't good english, then again who said I was good at english?) anyway as I was saying I want to talk/write about my favourite youtuber at the moment. Now she has been my favourite for quite a long time, and her name is Zoella (or Zoe Sugg), she is british and lives in the UK.
I won't say that I'm one of those people who have been watching her videos since before she got famous, because I'm not. But I just find myself really enjoying what she has to say and her opinions on things. I also LOVE her fashion and makeup. I find she is really relatable and if you havn't seen her blogs you should watch a few.
I find she is an amazing role model for teenagers, girls especially, as she has gone through hard times (Panic attacks and what not) and she handles those problems very well now and she is a very strong person.
Originally I used to loves Jenna Marbles, and I still think she is really funny. But after watching Zoella for a while I've found that I really love her and she's made Jenna seem kind of crude.
I don't have much else to say other than PLEASE watch her videos, she just makes me happy no matter what she's taking about.

How to have a Terrible Holiday

       The art of having terrible holiday is a precise one. When viewing your holiday in retrospect you may only see the bigger picture, but you should also realise that to have a truly awful holiday you must remember the phrase: the devil is in the details. 
       Taking any holiday requires careful planning, but to have a terrible holiday these plans must go awry. When planning your terrible holiday keep in mind connecting flights; there are so many things that can go wrong, almost everyone has a story about missing a plane or what-not. Thus making it ideal. Try to imagine your holiday as an old fashioned scale;  it starts off even, nothing good or bad has happened yet. To have the worst possible holiday the scale must tip completely on the “terrible” side. This will usually happen slowly, freak accidents (i.e plane crashes, natural disasters, fatal illnesses, terrorists taking over the plane, and so on) are too unpredictable. To ensure a horrific holiday it comes down to slowly tilting the scale, and missing your connecting flight will start you in the wrong direction.
      Luggage mishaps come next, you could accidentally leave it on the nature strip (has been known to happen), or, more commonly, it could end up in another country and take weeks to retrieve. This is such a classic, yet brilliant way to start the misery that it cannot be ignored, no matter how cliche. 
      After a long strenuous flight, reaching your holiday destination sounds like a dream, right? Wrong. It turns out that when flying to a different country and booking a hotel online, that you should do quite a bit of research into the hotel, more specifically: make sure that it exists. It is only too easy to make a fake hotel website and trick tourists out of money. If you wish take your holiday to go significantly down on the scale, do as little research into your activities as possible. (Also recommended for those who seek excitement.)
        Another thing to consider when planning a terrible holiday is different cultures; if you are in want of mortification I recommend ignoring it completely. As an example let’s take America, America has a tipping culture, not accounting for this may contribute to  your own extreme embarrassment and generally poor customer service.
       Finally to sink this holiday to the bottom of the ocean, let's talk travel insurance. Who needs travel insurance?

       So, there you have it; a few easy tips to ensuring a truly miserable holiday.
