Hello! It's another video from the floor.

If you don't know me, my name's Jessica. I'm a disabled YouTuber and I also have a condition called POTS,

which you can learn more about in the card above.

Basically means that I spend a lot of time lying on the floor.

So I thought I'd share some information about some of my other wonderful, friendly, disabled YouTubers

and I was inspired to make this video by Annie Elainey who has a part one on her channel

that I loved, and I'm doing part two today

and part three, she is releasing at the same time as this video

so you can go and watch that for more lovely disabled YouTubers.

But first, I'm going to tell you about one of the things that I do

and this video today is sponsored by the game Best Fiends.

Best Fiends. It works, there's a link. There's a link, guys, OK?

while I'm lying on the floor and I'm really not able to function and do much else

because it makes me feel like I have accomplished.

They contacted me, I had a look at the game, and I was like [excited gasp].

"Yes! This is exactly the kind of thing I love!"

It's a bit like Candy Crush, but I'm already on level six-hundred-and-something

You've got to really think about all of the moves that you make.

You go through the levels; matching up colours to win things.

You've got coins; you've got little diamonds. You've got these weird little squishy things, they are adorable.

And you find fiends, and together you defeat the slugs.

If you played the Zoombinis, you're really going to like this game.

You can also play it without Wi-Fi, so if you're on a long journey...

This month, you can play the special Valentine's Day quest

where you can win wonderful, beautiful little prizes,

including a very rare rose orchid mantis.

using the link down below in the description

and if you follow that link you will get five dollar's worth of free gold and diamonds.

I'll be honest: I would be playing this game whether they were sponsoring me or not.

See, everyone says that I should not use plastic straws

and I understand that, I understand that: environmental reasons

And I wash them in the dishwasher and re-use them

Although, otherwise, if I'm sitting up, I do use my metal straws, don't I?

So the first person I'm going to be talking about is the lovely Annie

whose video is being released at exactly the same time as this one

so you can go over and watch it on her channel.

Annie is an amazing chronically ill writer,

Annie makes weekly videos about the world through her eyes:

So creative, and her videos touch on a range of topics,

I'm a really big fan of her Twitter, because...I think it's just so interesting and educational

and she's very vocal on Twitter about issues and the people that she supports,

and I really love that. I'm a really big fan.

If you watch my channel because you feel like you learn a lot from it,

then definitely go and follow Annie, because you will certainly learn a lot from her.

Nikki and I were on the disabilities panel at Summer in the City last year

- 2017 - which, by the way, if you want me to go this year, you've got to Tweet them and let them know

Nikki is so amazing and so young, I am completely blown away by her talent.

She's only thirteen, but she runs an amazing channel;

bakes fabulous cakes, and is part of CBBC.

Which is the children's BBC channel, for anyone who is not a Brit.

it's a really rare condition that's characterised by an abnormal connection between veins and arteries.

Hers manifests on her face, but it can develop in other body parts, as well.

Nikki is one of the sweetest people I've ever met, and she really has the same 'can do' sort of attitude as me;

she likes to focus on the positive as well.

You should follow her for really like pretty make-up

and baking; happiness, along with some really cute games that she plays with her siblings, as well.

Hannah's part of BookTube and she uses her channel to talk about her views on books;

but also to talk about her health struggles.

We have POTS in common, so yay! But...also not yay.

I really like the way that Hannah explains so clearly and so elegantly

the struggles of living with intestinal failure and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

and she really shares tips and tricks for making the best out of life,

and I really--I really like that about her.

Also, she writes her own poetry and she has won some national awards, which is pretty fancy!

She's a really fab person, and since her channel isn't very big,

it's likely to get hit by YouTube's demonetisation of smaller creators.

So please, please, please, if anything I've just said about Hannah really interests you,

or you wanna go to her channel and check her out,
