10 YouTubers you need to subscribe to NOW!!

I love YouTube,period. Although YouTube has been around for quite a few years, it became an important part of my daily routine only recently. Well, in 2014 actually. In the new city, YouTubers became my friends and advisors on various of my household problems. More than entertainment, for me, they are honestly a very important and free source of learning, inspiration, and motivation. So before I end up rambling again for 1000 words, here is my favourite list of 10 YouTubers (I am subscribed to 148 YouTubers) till date. It was so difficult to pick my favourites as each of them is unique in their own special way.

Indian Spices I cannot cook without… The Spiceries

Being an Indian, I have inherited a few traits from my motherland. First being the love for colour: in my wardrobe, food, festivals, home décor or even nails sometimes, the more the merrier and second being my culinary dependence on spices. They both influence each other in some way I believe. Do you notice any similarity in the pictures below? I am sure you will.
