Did you happen to catch on to the fact that I actually MISSED a post last week? I didn’t post Friday and then I missed my Saturday post the day after. Why? Because whenever it comes time for me to sit down and write one of these wonderful things for you all I will always and forever prefer to sleep instead. Y’all have no idea how much I need my sleep. Anyway, who cares about any of that stuff.
Today’s post will be a recommendation! I can see the wheels in your head turning. You’re thinking of my post from a very short while ago in which I was very specific in saying that I hate and never give out book recommendations. That remains true, BUT this won’t be a book recommendation.
Let me tell you how I just so happened to stumble across this outrageously funny girl I’m going to be suggesting to you all in a short bit. I’m scrolling down my Facebook News Feed. I hate the social network itself and talk to none of the people I’m friends with on there, but I still scroll through my News Feed several times a day. Mostly for funny Vines or memes. So I’m sitting there scrolling along and I catch the title of a Huffington Post article about some rap duo who capture the ridiculousness of Generation Y. I’m like…”Oh.” Honestly, some really trashy articles pop up on Facebook but I click ahead anyway. You can read the article here and you most definitely should! It’s short!
Then I watched the music video, it’s an actual song and a REALLY catchy one! But that’s only how I came to discover Superwoman. Who is Superwoman you ask? She’s who I’m recommending to you guys! Her name is really Lilly Singh.
She has a GREAT YouTube channel that I’ve been binge watching all day. It’s mostly comedic stuff, but in the process of my watching I found a “Draw My Life” video. If you don’t know what these are just think of a person narrating in the background as they draw what they’re saying on a dry erase board. These are always great to watch. So I watched hers thinking that it would be a little about her and a lot about how she managed to gain over 3 million subscribers to her channel. 3 million! And here I thought 1300 blog followers was something special. Anyway, the point that I’m making is that this video was not comedic. It wasn’t at all what I expected. If I had to put a label on it I would call it a video of hope and strength. And holy crap it’s seriously fantastic. And you learn about the girl whose videos are watched by millions.
I know this isn’t my regular bookish post, but you guys should really give this girl a look. At least watch the Draw My Life video because I guarantee you’ll love it. And then watch the music video for #Leh because you WILL be singing it the rest of the day and a purchase will be made.
Read the Huffington Post article and watch the music video for the song #Leh here.
Watch her Draw My Life video here.
Access her YouTube channel here.
Follow her on Twitter here.
Download the song #Leh from Amazon here. (Couldn’t figure out the iTunes link)
PLEEEEEEEEASE don’t just read this and skip all the links. This girl is beyond hilarious and I know you’ll find her entertaining. Regular bookish post coming tomorrow!
I decided to go ahead and include her Draw My Life video because I know you guys are lazy and won’t click. Now watch!
This is great! I am checking her out now.

Hmm… I just assumed you took the holiday off from blogging.
I’m not usually a big fan of rap, but it’s a pretty cool song. Leh. And yeah… I’m not going to deny that I’ve thought a few of those things about that generation.
She’s friends with Kunal Nayyar from The Big Bang Theory! AH!!
No, but it’s seriously pretty awesome how she dealt with her depression. Lots of young (and old) girls can be inspired by her journey. Thanks for sharing!

Oh I know. I hate rap. Like it’s so bad. BUT I’ve watched this video a few times now and love it every time. And yes! I don’t know what you mean girls should be inspired, I am. And she’s hilarious without ever, and I mean ever, cussing! Find me someone else like that. Everyone’s humor is always dirty and vulgar and hers isn’t. Watch her videos!

Funny mini story. Earlier today I was in the midst of watching like five or six of her videos and someone came to me like “I’m sick of this” because of all my laughing and guess what happened!? He started watching with me! Hahaha she’s addicting and she’s officially surpassed all of my celebrity crushes except for Jennifer Lawrence. In one day!
