Over the last few weeks, I have found myself incredibly addicted to a YouTube channel called Honeyjubu. She is a Korean woman who Vlogs about home life and food. I’ll just say there has been some serious binge-watching going on.

Do you have any favorite Vlog channels you follow on YouTube? Let me know in the comments!
