Election, Giving Blood & My Boyfriend | Chatty GRWM | Hannah Witton

[@CharlotteHardy]

Ahhh I really loved the feel of this. I feel like we're friends and we're just having a little chat haha. Please do more of these!

[@CharlotteHardy]

works for me xD

[@greensteve9307]

I empathise with donating blood! I would be there twice a year, but I have Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. :(

[@StarMintaka]

Steve Cheetah I feel you. I have asthma and can't donate blood too

[@andyhartley]

Is anyone going to tell Hannah we know her boyfriend is Lucy Moon in disguise?

[@BonnieCalderwoodAspinwall]

I came here to say this.

[@larabolton3221]

Hannah Witton - i completely agree with everything you said regarding politics and giving blood, and i really dont want to focus on the makeup part because thats not what the video is about but i have incredibly fair skin and was wondering what brand of foundation and concealer you use?

[@aarons8711]

Andy Hartley in disguise? we haven't seen him, it's just lucy moon

[@zoebicknell2200]

From the quick glance at her foundation bottle I'm pretty sure it's Barry M.

[@crazypatterns93]

Stopped half way through this vid to register to give blood and booked an appointment!

[@StarMintaka]

ReadingCrazyPatterns You're awesome!

[@Aboutamovie]

Please do more of these types of videos! I love your "educational videos" and I think they're super interesting, but this had a nice laid-back feel to it wich was super interesting in its own way :)

[@catchmeoutside8287]

About a movie I like your videos (hannah and about a movie lol). And yes absolutely do more videos like this!!

[@wiiza4ever]

I'm so glad that you are talking about not being allowed to give blood. I also am banned from blood donations, and I usually feel guilty whenever people talk about giving blood.

[@StarMintaka]

Me too. So upsetting, isn't it?

[@wiiza4ever]

Yup, and it feels so lonely.

[@LDJ27]

I've been a blood donor for about a year and it's great! I'm not really great with needles but as long as I look away when the blood is being taken, I'm fine. And the nurses sometimes see that I'm nervous and have a chat with me :) the giving blood part only takes about 5 - 10 minutes, and you get snacks and a sticker at the end! Also, my favourite part, you later get told which hospital your blood will be used at! Giving blood is such a good thing, so encouraging more people to do so is important! Thanks Hannah

[@cinemoni]

LOVED this chill video! you should definitely make more chatty GRWM!

[@SazBerry]

I really liked this video. I love how chill and relaxed this style is, it just feels likeI'm hanging out with a friend or something. Also I love how you keep your makeup so minimal even when you're going out, makes me feel better about not wearing much makeup ever. On the topic of the GE, I'd say this is the most informed I've ever been on UK politics (I'm from Ireland) and it's so interesting. I'm also hopeful, but preparing for the worst. As for giving blood, to whoever sees this, *please* donate. It matters so much, you're literally saving lives.

[@sofiamartany5827]

Loved this Hannah! please do more chatty videos like this getting ready etc, it's nice to watch when I'm actually getting ready hahah

[@irishbrat22]

As a Northern Irish citizen I find it almost comical how shocked the rest of the uk is about the DUP😂 I am 19 and the DUP have been the largest party in our government for as long as I've been alive. So we've been dealing with this for almost 20 years and before they went into a deal with the conservatives no one else in the uk cared less about the DUPs presence in politics.

[@329leah]

My thoughts exactly

[@irishbrat22]

It's just everyone realising their policies and it makes me laugh but then also fills me with great fear that they now have way more power than they had before

[@irishbrat22]

Actually hold on I've also just realised the NI government is only 19 years old (since its establishment let's not talk about how many years it hasn't run) so no since NI has had some form of government it's been lead by the DUP

[@nicolaclarke2581]

Sarah Murray THANK YOU. I'm from the north too and ????? They aren't competent of running a country. They had a campaign called Save Ulster From Sodomy!!!

[@irishbrat22]

Honestly a part of me is a little annoyed that despite the fact that NI is one of the countries in the UK very few people (even very few MPs!!!!!!!!) know anything about our politics! Like if we are being governed by these people they need to at least know about NI parties and issues

[@Kateypops]

Thank you so much Hannah for talking about donating blood! No one talks about it but it's so so important!!! My brother passed away from blood cancer 3 years ago and people's blood donations helped to prolong his life for a whole year

[@yaraa9351]

just a tip but i find that dabbing your beauty blender instead of rubbing works way better! loved the video xx

[@soleill931]

I love how educational your videos are! And also you're probably one of the few youtubers who can actually make any type of videos and still be interesting! But my favourites will always be your month favs

[@cammiehalliday757]

I can't give blood either because I had a blood transfusion when I was born which saved my life. But I feel really sad about it because I would want to repay the person who gave blood to me by giving some else blood

[@SophieDoubleYou]

Cammie Halliday :o I can't believe we both posted the same story at the same time! I totally relate to wanting to give back because I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that blood I was given!

[@cammiehalliday757]

TheSophieDoubleYou Ikr now I just force my family to give blood on my behalf

[@cammiehalliday757]

Andréa That's a really weird rule

[@cammiehalliday757]

Hannah Witton My mum started to donate blood again (yay) by dad used to but randomly got denied and we don't know why but I'm trying to persuade him to go and back to see if it was a temporary problem

[@janey12880]

Hannah Witton I had a blood transfusion in year 2000, I can be an advocate????

[@milliewhat]

It is so refreshing to hear a KZbinr encourage blood donation! Not many people promote it, and it such an important and easy thing to do. And quick! Not scary at all, NHS nurses are incredibly caring and welcoming, and on the plus side you get sweets when you're done 😋 I have rediscovered a love for Penguins and Club Orange 🍫 Donating blood fills you with a great sense of pride for helping out the community, and a sense of belonging to the community. Definitely worth it!

[@emilybee72102]

I love this style of video I think you do it so well! It's nice to have these more casual videos mixed in with your very structured educational videos! I think it really does fit and it's nice to watch

[@catsandstrawberries]

Yessss please do more videos like this! Love all your other videos too of course, but I think the occasional video like this would be a really nice addition to your channel :)

[@leahbriggs8440]

Please do more videos like this! It's so laid back and chill, as other people have said it's like you're just having a nice chat with a friend. Plus I find watching people do their make up really relaxing for some reason 😂😂

[@TanyaJohnson1988]

This was really fabulous, Hannah! I loved it. Please do more. Also yes! Thank you for bringing up blood donation, it's so important!

[@livvyrichards1109]

I'm giving blood for the first time tomorrow and I'm so excited. I've wanted to for ages but because of my anorexia I've not been able to until now as I'm at a healthy weight and on my way to recovery. I'm so excited to help so many people after I've given blood! Wish me luck!

[@alexandranastor6853]

I'm really glad you're so passionate about giving blood. I just went about a month ago for the first time, and I was really surprised how few of the people I know wanted to take part. I was a bit scared to be honest, but it was surprisingly pain-free. Everyone was very professional and kind, and I highly encourage anyone who is able to donate to do it, wherever you are. It doesn't take long, it doesn't cost anything, and it can save someone's life. Lots of love from Hungary :)

[@elliedavies7961]

I have Crohns disease (very similar to Ulcerative colitis) and i just wanted to back Hannah up with the 'Please donate if you can!' plea. Its so frustrating when you want to help but cant. Also i just wanted to say thank you to Hannah for talking about Ulcerative Colitis, no matter how briefly, hearing about others with crohnic conditions like that (especially people you admire and that are in the public eye) is so refreshing! Few people really talk about it, meaning lots of people are not aware of these invisible conditions. Thanks :) x

[@someguy7567]

I'm learning so much about what girls do to get ready in the morning.

[@windocio]

Hannah your personality is delightful. Watching your videos has helped me to be happy with who I am because your so comfortable with who you are!

[@michtown826]

really enjoyed the laidback atmosphere of this video! please do more.

[@Tawnythorn]

Man I love these videos, I can wake up and watch them while I drink coffee and relax, before my day starts

[@emilyh9159]

I really loved this style it was so chill and like a chat, do more please! x

[@magicalsplash]

I'm not normally into GRWM videos but this one was really informative and great!

[@KaylaHenrikson]

I loved watching this while I got ready. It felt we just too gals getting ready together and it was lovely. Love you Hannah!

[@LarsHighelf]

GOD Hannah! i love your candid, honest and uplifting personality... and sooo beautiful! Respect.

[@charlieharper1004]

Hannah what's your views on the NHS's 12 month exclusionary period on gay men donating blood ??

[@unirpb2350]

what is this sorry?

[@charlieharper1004]

Unirpb23 men who have had sexual relations with other men are unable to donate blood for a minimum of 12 months

[@jayjayla6646]

Charlie Harper Where I live the rule is that you can't donate blood if you've had sexual relations with other men since 1977.

[@Benimation]

that's oddly specific, and also a really long time..

[@Hannahisnotanywhere]

In the Isle of Man, where I live, gay men can't give blood at all

[@goshchristine]

Thoroughly enjoyed this vid, Hannah! Please do more!!

[@Yolanda.Winston]

I love when you talk about politics. And I love the way in which you did this one. Please do more of these!

[@sammiecornwell4499]

I also cannot give blood, because I had a blood transfusion when I was a baby so that's fun. I've always wanted to because my dad does, but when I asked him about it (at, like, age 11) and ever since I've always hoped (I'm 15 now) that something will change in my future so I can.

[@colecerys123]

I love these kinda videos i would like more! The general election was amazing to wake up to with that many young voters and so many labour voters and im so proud of everyone!❤️

[@sidneykay2154]

you're really good at chatty grwm's (just so you know) x

[@alvabarcheus1194]

i love this video it's so chill and relaxing and you're so intelligent & you talk about the election so that a non-british person can understand & relate (me, thanks)

[@jessearnshaw4054]

You're great Hannah! I so agree with your comment about not liking clubbing - house parties are fab, no need for heels, and you know the peeps so much less likely to be inappropriate touched. You should expand on this in another video!!

[@Bookworm5589]

I needed blood during surgery so thank you to whoever donated blood ❤️.

[@donaldkernes737]

I like the more serious Hannah vibe in this one. Very cool indeed. Love.

[@laurac7623]

also i loved this. i love just hearing your thoughts on things. you're a very smart woman and i look up to you and value your opinions so any chatty type video with your thoughts is always brilliant in my book.

[@littlemissgrumpy939]

Giving blood is honestly one of the coolest things I'm regularly doing in my life right now :) The feeling it gives you knowing you're helping and potentially saving people is amazing. We went to give blood after the bombings in Brussels as well, and it's such an amazing feeling that you can help at least in some way! So I highly recommend anyone to go donate blood if they're able to. It's only about 10-15 minutes and that's it! :)

[@aliceburrows6118]

Do more of these videos - loved the chill vibes x

[@kerry2204]

LOVE these type of videos. Such a great inspiration!! 👌🏻

[@anonymousplease56]

I loved the video ! I would totally watch more of these if you made them

[@zaraelysia]

please may you do a video on ulcerative colitis, I was diagnosed with it last year when I turned 14 and I am now an immune suppressants too. I have tried looking everywhere for someone else who has this condition, and then you mentioned it!! It was like a sigh of relief that I am not alone❤️I am really struggling at the moment with flare ups and would love if you could do a video on your story, and how you cope...if you want to of course❤️Thank you, so glad I'm not alone, love and support always zara elysia. x

[@blueberrymacaroon]

great video, feel free to do more of these, very fun to watch

[@laurenspellman858]

I totally understand the boyfriend privacy line! Even though I'm not a KZbinr I still didn't want to shout it out on a rooftop that I got a boyfriend and when we were together in school we remained very nonchalant about it & didn't show any PDA. So I definitely think people have every right to their own relationships and should be allowed to tell people about it when they feel comfortable

[@Ruby-fc4me]

Okay I really enjoyed this if you do more chatty grwms I'll definitely watch

[@ndidi08]

I love this style of video. Very chill & raw. Also, hour final look was the shiz

[@nymeria941]

I like this type of videos! I've been following the UK election (I live in the US), and I'm learning so much about how the government actually works after the election is over. I hear you on stress and voter fatigue--the US has its own issues with it right now, and I'm trying to stay involved and active in my state and local elections, even with all the awfulness going on at the national level.

[@HazyBluex]

I don't know much about british politics so it was so nice to listen to your thoughts on the elections as well as the other topics you mentioned

[@asjo12]

I didn't know I needed a chatty Hannah until I saw it. Please do more of this style if you enjoy making it :)) !

[@AC-es9bt]

just finished reading your book, loved it so much ! ❤

[@darkhappiness7554]

I really enjoyed this while eating my dinner hehehe it felt like a friend talking to me or something idk lol YES! These videos were so chil :]

[@susannareid3563]

i love this style of video, i find it so relaxing & it's nice for me to just chill & hear your thoughts on whatever it is after a day of exams if you enjoyed making it i'd be in favour of you making some more like this.... just sayin' :)

[@InimeKai]

I'm glad you touched on the entitlement to information a lot of people have in regards to youtubers/social media personalities. It's pretty nauseating how much people will try to justify being intrusive just because youtubers choose to share some of their lives publically. Even more nauseating still when you see that many of these entitled people are full grown adults who know fully well that the kind of behavior they exhibit online would not fly in their face to face relationships in any way. Curiosity is natural, but it doesn't mean we have to act on it/pry when the person in question is clearly not comfortable/does not want to share this information. In any case, it's good to see you seem to be doing well. : ) You are definitely a positive face to see pop up in my subscriptions feed. xx

[@Alli0910]

i liked that vid.. felt like i was hanging with some super chill friend who didnt need me to talk abt my life but talked about theirs😄

[@grahamclarke6170]

This is one of my Hannah favourites

[@millywebster9109]

Ah my blood donation appointment this month is on the 26th! It'll be so nice to round of a week that is so important to raising awareness. 3rd time round and it makes me feel so good! 💉🎉

[@theonewiththeblueeyes]

Please do another one! I love chatty grwms

[@jadebentley7952]

Just a few people commenting on how Hannah applies her foundation with the sponge and saying she doing it wrong. She's actually not. You bounce the blending sponge to get more coverage and you drag and swipe it to get a more sheer coverage that looks a bit more natural. The owns of real techniques (the sponge I believe she's using) have both said this one their KZbin channel xx love the video Hannah!

[@wonderingwhys]

Finally! I'm glad you did this 💜

[@racheljade2313]

Really love these kind of videos Hannah!!

[@micaela_c]

Already knew it, but you're gorgeous Hannah! Would love more grwm's from you in the future! :)

[@chrishuff6254]

Blood donation is super easy! I'm not from England but I imagine it's pretty similar. So long as you drink lots of water and eat beforehand (protip, make sure to have something with iron in it before you go, if your iron is too low they will turn you away) and eat or drink juice after, it only takes about a half hour. I also suggest looking away and telling them not to tell you when they are putting the needle in, you are less likely to tense up and you barely feel it. I've donated every time I could since I became the right age for it (about 4 years ago) and it's super easy. My aunt needed 16 bags over the course of her liver transplant and whole blood only lasts on the shelf for 120 days! After that they have to throw it out. In America (I dont know about elsewhere) babies can only get blood from people under 21 because after 21 there is too much of something in the blood that babies can't have. Also there is such thing as a direct donation, so if you know someone who needs blood you can ask that it be a direct donation, and even if you aren't a blood type match they get a credit for a bag of their type! In America a single bag of blood costs the family 50 dollars, and that really adds up (remember my aunt needed 16, that's 800 dollars) So a direct donation really helps too!

[@supernowna5451]

If you buy cruelty free makeup, could you please give any tips on brands you use? I want to buy more but I don't know what good brands there are

[@annaw9687]

Nova Hb there are so many! Nyx, body shop, soap and Glory, 17, natural collection, Anastasia, urban decay, too faced, Barry m, collection, Tanya burr, charlotte tilbury, gerard cosmetics, stila, no7

[@supernowna5451]

anna barnardwright Ah thank you so much for the advice! So nice to know that there actually are a lot of brands that are cruelty free! ^^

[@annaw9687]

Nova Hb no problem! There are lots more as well, there's loads of websites that have huge lists x

[@iandlv6835]

Happy to respect your right to privacy, but also happy that there is someone special in your life.

[@Noooon123]

So many comments about foundation application and how to use a beauty blender....I've been applying mine with my hands/fingers for ten years and never had an issue let people do things how they want some of us don't care about being perfect 😂😂

[@ajayrious]

Nice video. Definitely would like to see more casual videos like this on your channel x.

[@elizabethbarnard5137]

72% is v high for youth turnout: yougov (a polling site) suggests otherwise. It says that 18 - 19 yr olds had 57% turnout and 20 - 24 yr olds had 59% turnout. That's better than usual, but still not excellent.

[@10pittgeorge]

Elizabeth Barnard wait... how does that add up to 72% ?

[@elizabethbarnard5137]

George Pitt it doesn't - that's the point. Because they're separate numbers for different age ranges, they (roughly) need to be averaged. Ie youth turnout was about 58%

[@10pittgeorge]

Elizabeth Barnard But are the numbers suggested by YouGOV the actual official numbers? I don't know a whole lot about politics and generally avoid it, but from what I know, YouGOV is never that accurate?

[@elizabethbarnard5137]

George Pitt yougov hasn't been excellent at pre election polling but from what I know, there aren't any problems with post election data collection. Though ofc this can never be fully accurate.

[@jas88cam]

George Pitt There are no official numbers by age, because nobody knows! (Deliberately so.) They know precisely how many people voted in each place, they know whether or not I voted (to stop me voting twice) - but that's private, otherwise you could for example be bribed or blackmailed into not voting. So, we know there were 12,345 votes for candidate X - how many of those voters were under 30? Nobody knows, except by doing polls or breaking the law! Thanks by the way Hannah: I feel better about knowing nothing at all about Northern Ireland politics when a bright history graduate doesn't know it either :) The DUP seem a bit scary, but I don't think they'll drag Britain back, they're more interested in ... whatever it is they do in NI. Now I'll go and look into donating blood for the first time. I've never had a transfusion, but my mum did once (so can't give blood herself) - so by posting about this, you've probably brought in more blood than if you didn't have UC!

[@holly.m9318]

If we have another election in just over 6 months I WILL BE ABLE TO VOTE. I CANT WAIT AND TBH I HOPE WE HAVE ANOTHER ELECTION AFTER DECEMBER 24th BECAUSE YOUR GIRL NEEDS TO EXPRESS HER VOTING RIGHTS (can u tell how much excitement I have for this?)

[@orsettomorbido]

Yaaaaaas!

[@CulturePhilter]

orsettomorbido - yay. You probably already are but just in case you didn't know, you can register to vote anytime from age 16 so that there's no delay to being able to vote once you're 18.

[@orsettomorbido]

I didn't know :P Btw, i'm almost 25 and i'm Italian, so i'm able to vote for everything here :P (In three months, actually)

[@kimolyslager]

I enjoy chatty video's like this. Even if they would be a good two hours long I'd watch every minute aaah

[@kirstygadd9304]

Love this style of video!

[@KaitlynMarie-vm3tb]

I'm more than a little late but if you can't donate blood then another way to be involved might be to see if they need any volunteers. Loved the video by the way

[@Stellabilbo]

Love these kind of videos Hannah!

[@kitkat9532]

'I haven't had a flare up in over 10 years." Oh past Hannah, you have nO idea. :(

[@jayjayla6646]

I don't live in the U.K., and therefore could not vote. I can donate blood after next week though, and just organized a trip, so thank you SO much for bringing that up!

[@ringingecho8114]

Your eye makeup is just beautiful! I wish I could do my own makeup like yours. Also, please keep your relationship private if that is what you want; I'm just glad that you are happy!!

[@sq891]

looove this grwm type of vid

[@themonkey2609]

Donated twice (and with third booked) since turning the minimum age and have not looked back since! I'm so glad I am able to give to those in need and in the UK you get a text of which hospital your donation has ended up which is always intresting to find out 😃

[@fscolli93]

Loved this video and the style :) I hate needles and veins but I give blood because I know I'm lucky to be able to do it, so I understand how frustrating it must be! Glad you're advocating for it anyway.

[@antonydandrea]

Can't give blood during blood donation week because I am within the 3 or 4 month time restriction. It is awesome, they send you a text message when and where your pint got used.

[@meganbooth4777]

it was my first time voting this year (I only just turned 18 this year) and it felt so good to be part of the 72 percent of young voters, it's rad that so many of us voted (and the majority of us voted labour!)

[@laumabre]

Donating blood today for the third time. I love it, it's so quick, easy and painless. Had I known that next week is National Blood Week, I would've made the appointment for then, but hey ho. #ImThere

[@fionaWhatever]

7:12 "Concentratin'...AH FUCK" Literally me every time I attempt to do my eyeliner

[@Julylovesmusic1]

giving blood is literally one of the easiest ways to really make a difference in a persons life. do it. it doesn't hurt, it doesn't really take long and you'll have done something really good.

[@xeshacinds]

I agreed with every single thing you said about your reaction to the election! So refreshing to hear someone speak out about politics on YT!

[@majdeclercq5688]

I get that so much about the giving blood!! I would love to give blood, but I can't because I'm a diabetic type 1. And every year at uni, they organize this event to give blood and I am so envious every time!!

[@muneebahmed2391]

Do more videos like this. They are amazing

[@laurac7623]

I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL WITH THE BLOOD DONATION THING. I cried the other day when I looked up giving blood and I realised I can't because I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I have a lot of illnesses and over the years I donated plenty of blood thats gone to waste in the form of tests. I'm not afraid of needles and would give blood regularly if I could so I was shattered.

[@onceuponajones]

love the chit chat and the make up!❤

[@mmaker76]

Hey Hannah I have ulcerative colitis too and I would love to see a video about what you've gone through and how you've dealt with the disease if you would feel comfortable doing that it would be amazing. I love your videos.

[@emmagrace289]

i was wondering if you'd like to do a full video on boundaries, particularly youtubers and their relationships? x

[@beccacavelero2896]

I gave blood about 2 weeks ago for my 18th birthday. It definitely was an experience. My iron was great which surprised the chick who set it all up for me. The only issue I had was that she went through my vein and my arm started filling up with blood a bit but it was okay! I did my other arm and it all worked out great. I passed out on the way home a bit afterwards but it was great. I have a good bruise still, it was really worth it though. A pint of blood can save 3 people, it's a wonderful thing. I recommend it.

[@erinconely6139]

When I get a tan and my foundation is too pale, I dust a little amount of bronzer all over my face to 'warm' it up a bit😊 Xx

[@SophieButcherBlog]

Really liked this style of video!

[@boondox_bandit]

please make more videos like this 😩

[@bryonymason3104]

I LOVED this chatty video!

[@HanaM249x]

Yes to more of these videos! :) Please x
