We have come to accept traffic as part of city life, and we all have our ways of coping like sneaking in a quick nap, tuning into our own ‘traffic playlist,’ catching up on social media, and even squeezing in some work on the go. But with high-resolution smartphones and fast mobile data, there’s nothing like watching entertaining vlogs to keep our mind off any bad road situation. If you’re looking for new content to keep you entertained and informed while beating rush-hour traffic, here’s a list that might just work for you:
When it comes to #siblinggoals, Ranz and Niana definitely top the list. This brother-and-sister tandem is a hit among YouTube viewers who enjoy watching them move and groove to the latest dance hits (occasionally with baby sister Natalia, who’s also quite the social media star herself), pull pranks on each other, and just be charming cool kids overall. They’ve also released their own music, proving how talent truly runs in the family. Whether you’re watching for fun or to learn new dance steps, Ranz and Niana will make you want to bust a few moves of your own, even while stranded on EDSA. Follow Ranz and Niana at www.youtube.com/ranzkyle and www.youtube.com/nianaguerrero.
There’s no shortage of make-up tutorials and beauty vlogs on YouTube, but Michelle Dy continues to be a fan favorite because of her simple and practical make-up tips. Instead of sulking inside the taxi, plan your look for the day by watching one of her beginner-friendly tips on how to look your best without ruining your budget.
