Ever since middle school I have been hooked on watching YouTube videos. More specifically Bethany Mota, Blair and Elle Fowler, and Tracy and Stef. I admired how they would be so open in front of a camera, how they spent the time editing and uploading their videos, and just how inspirational and real they are. Sure, we only see 12 minutes of their life on camera, but they still inspired me to create my own channel!
I know that most of YouTube names are creative and fun, but I just used shoptilyoudrop and YouTube added a "7" to the end, and that my friends, is how I got my channel name. Little did I know that there used to be a game show called "Shop 'til You Drop" from 1991-2005. So even if someone were to search my name, the game show pops up first! Lol, no biggie! But, back to the story...
My mom and dad finally agreed and allowed me to start my channel back in October 2012. My first video ever was a Makeup Haul video. (View it here.) I had so much fun making the videos but then I felt expected to make them.

When I first started my channel, I viewed it as a project and that I would end up just like Bethany Mota or Blair or Elle. But truth is, that takes a lot of dedication and hard work. I know I don't have the time or resources to create these brilliant videos so I'm perfectly content with being a small channel in a huge YouTube community. Since my realization, I've created a video every now and then just for the fun of it. I've lowered my expectations and am perfectly happy with my 290 subscribers! I love that I can post my interests on the Internet for people to see and just for me to enjoy.
I have created a beauty channel and a singing channel. If you would like to check them out, feel free to! (The links will be down below.) So really, the message of this post is to enjoy your life. Don't feel like there are so many expectations for you to uphold. Relax, breathe, and just be happy.
Until next time,
Bethany
