10 Reasons why I want to be Grace Helbig

Grace Helbig of DailyGrace is a comedic goddess who is climbing up the YouTube popularity ladder. With 1.7 million subscribers and being named the Streamy’s Personality of the Year, there are too many reasons why I’d love to be her. I’ve managed to narrowed it down to ten.

1. She's hilarious. Duh.

Yes, the most obvious thing to point out, but Grace’s deadpan humor is something that keeps me coming back every day. Seriously. I’m physically depressed when I miss one of her videos. This video in which she reviews One Direction’s album Take Me Home is probably my favorite Grace yet… and that’s saying a lot.

2. Her friends are epic

With friends like Hannah Hart (My Drunk Kitchen) and Mamrie Hart (You Deserve A Drink) you can gather that they have a fun time together. While I love all three of their channels respectively, any time they collaborate is a goldmine of hilarious.

One time Grace and Mamrie surprised Hannah on tour while wearing gilly suits.

3. Goose

Her dog Goose has quickly become one her signatures, even though she is fairly new to the DailyGrace fam. I mean, who else has a picture of their dog in a cone printed on multicolored t-shirts?

4. The work/play combo

She basically makes her living by filming she and her friends while they drink. Not trying to sell her short though—she does do a lot of side projects, but the classic Grace video seems like the coolest gig ever… when I am of age of course.

5. The Lowe's Commercial

She was in a freaking Lowes commercial. Every time I see it I scream “It’s DailyGrace!” at my TV and it’s one of the only repetitive commercials that I don’t hate. Nice work, Lowes. Keep ‘em coming.

6. Cool collabs and interviews

She collabs with famous YouTubers like this hilarious video with Miranda Sings. But, her crowning glory this year was her interview with Lil Bub. There are no words.

7. She wears whatever she feels like

Another perk of filming from your house? You can look however you want. Grace is adorable in her own right, even when she wears the same baseball tee in most of her videos. It’s classic—nay—encouraged.

8. Rating things by way of her face

Instead of stars, she uses her own face to grade things from 1 to 5 Grace Face’s. And masses of people understand and appreciate what that means.

9. She hazes the crap out of people!

One of my main goals in life is to be hazed by Grace. A girl can only dream for her own mean(ish) shout out via video blog.

10. All around winner

Grace Helbig is the total package—hardworking, determined, and downright hilarious.

I loved this article about her in LA Weekly that describes her past, how she ended up in Los Angeles, and why she is bound to be the next biggest star from YouTube.
