Many of you ask me where I get my ideas and inspiration for the many projects, crafts, and Dollar Tree finds.
I'm here to tell you.
YouTube.
(with a bit of Pinterest thrown in...)
Today, I'm going to share my top five YouTubers and their channels, with a few honorable mentions thrown in for good measure.
They are in no particular order.

I love to tinker with plants and my succulent gardens, and this channel by far is my favorite for all types of gardening information, inspiration, and encouragement.
In fact, I've propagated baby succulents this Spring because Laura had a great video on the how-to.
She and her husband are an amazing team and their home in Oregon is stunning.
She's down to earth, humble, and really makes you feel like you can be a master at anything relating to plants.

This former teacher, with over 1 million subscribers, is a master at frugal living and shares her Dollar Tree obsession with her viewers. She and I were separated at birth!
She's a young mom of two who seems like she could be in your carpool, PTA, or neighborhood...she's that relatable.
The tips and tricks she offers for getting the most out of your dollar while making your home and life easier are inspirational.
Plus, her infectious personality makes it a joy to watch her.

I love a good DIY, but I especially love when that same DIY looks "doable" for the skill limited.
Rachel takes you through so many projects, sharing her successes as well as her failures. In fact, she's not afraid to show you what went wrong and how or if she was able to fix it.
Her home is very funky, farmhouse, mid-century modern - very chic and very striking. She's done so many of the improvements herself, and while we may not share the same style, I definitely find projects to try and inspiration for other projects.
Her sweet dog likes to get into the action as well.

You may or may not be surprised to see that I follow a beauty blogger, but I will tell you it's one of my secret vices.
I LOVE anything related to make-up, especially as I age and make-up changes and improves.
Tati, with over 10 million subscribers, is a gem when it comes to learning about technique, make-up (both drugstore and high end), with a good dose of fun thrown in.
She started making videos to share her honest opinions about products in the beauty industry, and to this day, she is not sponsored by or dis-honest about any products she shares on her channel.
Plus, she takes you through her own make-up applications and it's fun to watch how she does it. Some are natural applications while others are glam and out of this world.
She's an artist and an honest one at that.

As a card crafter, I love watching other card makers create their own works of art.
Jennifer is a leader in the industry and has such great techniques and ideas that it's hard NOT to craft after watching her videos.
I've actually purchased some of the products she uses, which has given me another vendor for card supplies and stamps.

Now, before you have a "chat" with me about how much time can be spent watching YouTube, I just want to assure you that I don't watch hours and hours of it every day.
In fact, I watch very little TV, and YouTube is like my TV so to speak.
Most videos are fairly short AND these YouTubers do not post everyday. I watch their content when they put it out, and sometimes I have 2 or even 3 videos to "catch-up" on.
I also use YouTube to look up specific things, like changing a coupler in a specific faucet or how to organically clean your coffee pot.
Watching a video is easier for me than reading directions. Hence the reason why I turn to YouTube. If there's not a video on there already, it probably can't be done!
I hope you visit some of my favorites as well as the honorable mentions.
They are well worth a bit of viewing!
I follow Do It On A Dime too. I love her!
