Since August (posting pretty much everyday), the writing drive has been a bit knocked out of me and I feel like now that I write fewer posts they should be much better quality because I have more time to think of ideas and work on them and the pressure has been off-putting, I'm sorry about that. I hope this blog is improving my writing skills, but...it takes time.
Enough rambling, today I wanted to at least try to write a Top Five Wednesday (if it publishes, I succeeded!) on something I want to go in more detail about in future posts but I am going to briefly touch on it today and that is my female inspirations. I have a lot of female inspirations, I strongly believe in women-to-women love instead of being jealous of one another and bringing each other down. This is no particular order.
One || Saphira Howell.
Saphira is a 17-year-old female still in school I believe from LA. She was formerly SaphiraFashion, but as since changed her channel name because it doesn't represent who she is anymore.
Why do I like her so much, I consider her to be one of my inspirations? Because she's very young and has a supreme amount of confidence is one reason. She knows she's pretty, she'll say "Yeah, I look good in this" and she has the confidence to put herself out there - like in her TEDx talk. She's real with what she talks about and doesn't pretend to be someone she's not for views.
She was nominated for the Shorty Awards I think earlier this year or later last year. There's a lot more about her that I feel like she needs to be looked up to for, but for that, go and visit her channel or wait until a later day when I make a full post on her! She's already taking up a lot of space here, I need to move on to four other female inspirations!

Two || Emma Blackery.
Her Channel
I love her for multiple reasons - she's a sassy feminist who can be absolutely hilarious without insulting anyone! She's an inspiration to me because she is proof that you can be funny without putting other people down, she's very real to her viewers and doesn't bullshit anything. She's adorable and works hard for what she does, she doesn't make excuses for herself, she's just an awesome person...I look up to her for being awesome, and for being herself (a common theme in this blog post!).

Three || Beckie0.
Again, she is my inspiration because of her brutal honesty to not only us but to herself. I won't talk too much about this, though, as what truly makes me look up to her is her amazing creativity. Her videos - mostly her older ones from a year or two ago, my personal favourites - really stand out in your mind. They're different, and have her own personality shooting through them, they're amazing. She also suffers with depression, I believe, but her biggest struggle is her battle with Trich and as someone who suffers a disability and two mental illnesses, it's a great source of motivation seeing her really making something of her life despite what is holding her back and I one day want to do the same.
Four || Allaray Roo
A much less known channel, but growing pretty fast (as she so deserves) is Allaray Roo, who actually hasn't to my knowledge done any videos on body-loving or anything majorly important like that, but she does stand out in my mind and she has inspired me multiple times to talk about the kinds of things she talks about in her videos. She's basically a story-teller of her very eventful and traumatic life, and the way she tells them is so hilarious, that I can't help but want to try and write some of my own (which I always lose the guts to post in the end!). Again, though, she is an inspiration to me because she always remains true to herself - she's wacky and I love that, she's so nice and friendly, I recommend checking out her channel!
Five || StacyPlays.
Okay, I know this wasn't meant to be in any order but I think this woman might be my favourite. I can't tell you how many times she has made me laugh hysterically on my darkest days! She is an inspiration to me because of how much she has achieved in her life, and how strongly she feels for saving dogs' lives! She's smart and witty and wonderful! She's a gamer, so slightly different from the women I have mentioned above, but nontheless she has inspired me to one day get a laptop or computer that will allow me to record and upload my own videos!
There you have it, my top five female inspirations! Who are yours?!
