Ahhh, Friday. I am so glad you are here. Not that I have the weekend off to enjoy the last of this year’s sunshine, but the weekend is a mere 24 hours away and another week of uni will be over.

I had today to catch up on my uni work before work in the evening. So naturally, I spent the day procrastinating and watching makeup tutorials on YouTube rather than actually taking advantage of the time to be productive. I watched a plethora of tutorials about makeup and skincare, which are topics that I am particularly passionate about.

I left a comment on one of the videos that I watched encouraging the artist to keep up the good work. I get very paranoid about commenting on YouTube videos mainly due to the extreme negativity that is present on that specific platform. I’ve found that commenters on Youtube tend to be quite critical of content creators, and keyboard warriors can be extremely malicious when they are able to hide behind the facade of their devices. Even positive reinforcement and constructive criticism can be misinterpreted behind a screen so it’s very rare that I comment or engage with content online. 

I tend to watch a lot of content on YouTube for the main purpose of education. I am a very visual learner, so being taught how to do anything from creating a makeup look to making a breakfast burrito, is made so simple with a resource that enables me to watch how things are done, rather than reading or listening about it.
