  • *sneezes*

  • Hello, everybody! I hope you've had a lovely weekend.

  • For today's video, I thought I would just embarrass myself, really,

  • and do another video where I look back over old photos.

  • I did this last year, and lots of you really enjoyed it. So I thought I would do it again.

  • I'm crazy.

  • So, I have my laptop here, which is so grubby. Oh well.

  • And I have...

  • all my external hard drives with the majority of my really old photos saved on them.

  • I'm a really sentimental person, so I keep everything.

  • Whether that's a really awkward, cringey phase of my life, I still think it's important to treasure those memories.

  • So you can see...

  • the different stages of your life, and where you've come, and you can embrace it. It might not have been a time that you enjoyed,

  • but I think it's important to look back on it, and embrace it for what it was. Which is why I have...

  • every photo I've ever taken. And actually, I'm quite glad I do that. Because,

  • it makes for some great conversation,

  • and some funny videos. So, yeah, that is what we're doing today.

  • Right. Let's have a look at this.

  • Oh God!

  • Okay, so these are kind of more...

  • my blog...

  • pictures. I mean, look at this one. Does anyone remember this picture?

  • This is, like,

  • I look so, kind of, gothic-slash-emo here.

  • I think I did a smokey eye. And actually, I used to set my camera up on a tripod against my dining room wall,

  • with a softbox. And this was what happened. My hair's so dark!

  • Gah, that's a really old picture of me and Joe.

  • That's from Christmas 2012, I think.

  • What was that necklace all about, though? I'm serious. Like, what is that?

  • I used to wear that in so many of my videos. I loved that necklace so much.

  • Oh, my God. Who remembers this photo?

  • I feel like this is...

  • This is, like,

  • everywhere, this picture.

  • Look at my hair!

  • My hair's so long, and, like, straggly.

  • Oh, my God! This was the first...

  • time me and Louise

  • ever met Alfie and Marcus.

  • Oh, cute! That was in their hotel room, before an event.

  • That's so cute.

  • Look at this picture.

  • My hair is so thick and dark!

  • Oh, no.

  • This photo is awful.

  • Ugh, this is another photo shoot.

  • I feel like I used one of these for something. Oh, it was this one.

  • Yeah, I used that for something. I feel like that gets used everywhere, too.

  • Let me see if there's any really cringe ones.

  • Oh, my God. Look at this one.

  • *laughs*

  • With the arm in shot, it's, like, so MySpace.

  • That's the original picture. Ah!

  • Oh, my God. Look how different it looks unedited.

  • I remember this day. This was...

  • I think this was a London Fashion Week Rimmel thing.

  • And I was so nervous. This was one of the days I went to London on my own.

  • I remember it so well. Obviously, I had to get in a cheeky little photo shoot before I went.

  • Oh, I actually got my dad to take these pictures.

  • Okay. I feel like we need to take it back...

  • a bit more old-school. So...

  • Uh...

  • These have got my ex-boyfriend in them.

  • That is disgusting.

  • Oh... no.

  • This is old. This one is really old. Okay.

  • This was, like, one of my first edited pictures.

  • I loved this photo. My friend Jenny took this picture in her bedroom, and I used to...

  • use a editing software that allowed you to up the contrast and pick a colour.

  • So I think I edited this in every colour. I did a bit of an Andy Warhol.

  • Oh look!

  • Here I am, plucking my eyebrows!

  • Probably over-plucking them.

  • But also, look at my white hoops. And my hairband.

  • Oh, God.

  • Look at me.

  • Look at my friend's room. I love this.

  • Wait, so how old was I here? I was fourteen in these pictures.

  • I'm wearing a...

  • Oh, my God, what is the brand of that hoodie? Is it Gold Digger?

  • I can't remember, but I'm wearing that. She's got Orlando Bloom on her wall.

  • These were the days when you would hang out with your friends,

  • and, using, like, your parents' digital camera, you would have, like, a little bit of a photo shoot,

  • and then you would, like, save them as your MSN picture or put them on your Facebook profile.

  • I actually hate this picture,

  • so much.

  • This is one that never got edited.

  • But look at my face. I look so unimpressed. I look...

  • really angry. What's this one?

  • Oh, God. I remember that top.

  • It had, like, a comic strip on it, and I loved it. I think I got it from T.K. Maxx.

  • I feel like this isn't too dissimilar to me, this picture.

  • I feel like I still make that face a lot.

  • But also, my eyebrows.

  • Where are my eyebrows? Also, I'm dead behind the eyes in this.

  • Oh...

  • my...

  • God!

  • Can we take a moment?

  • My little boobs!

  • And, like,

  • my muppet pyjamas. I must've been like,

  • "This will be a great picture." Oh, my God. And also I think I used to cut my own hair there.

  • In fact, I think it's pretty obvious I used to cut my own hair.

  • What is that?

  • What is that?

  • Why?

  • Why?

  • Oh, dear.

  • It's a good job that that never went anywhere. Until today!

  • I've got a whole album called "Boys."

  • And I've saved pictures of all the boys...

  • like, who I used to talk to in my school, or who were friends with me in school,

  • or who I fancied on MSN.

  • And they're all in there.

  • Look at this one.

  • Oh, my God.

  • Look at that picture.

  • That is, like, the best thing I've ever seen.

  • I need to tell you the funniest story.

  • I'm not gonna show you the picture, because

  • I don't think my friend would appreciate it. But we posed with our t-shirts up and our bras on,

  • and my bra was too small,

  • and you could see, like, the top of my nipples in the picture.

  • But because it was so funny, and I wanted to send it to my friend to be like,

  • "Oh, my God, this is such a funny picture!" We never put it anywhere.

  • Um, I had to draw...

  • over the bra,

  • in Paint to cover my nipple.

  • I don't know what this picture is.

  • However, I think we were trying to make it look like I was driving a car.

  • that was part of my seat. It was a heart seat, it was a heart on the back and then it had a circle on the bottom.

  • Did anyone else have those chairs? Cos' I feel like everyone had those chairs.

  • And there's my white hoops again. I loved those white hoops.

  • This picture is called like my beehive question mark

  • Do you? It's not really a beehive Zoe.

  • Oh.my.god. Why? I'm actually like cringing inside at this picture.

  • It's called posing hee hee

  • And I'm legit doing this.

  • uuggghhh what are you doing with your life?!

  • These must be the most embarrassing pictures of me that have ever existed and I'm choosing to share them with you.

  • But what is this? This is called like my knickers?

  • Guys, I didn't actually post these anywhere

  • But, what was I thinking?

  • Like, why was fourteen year old Zoe

  • Oh. Get your train driver's hat out. Love it.

  • Why was fourteen year old Zoe posing like that?

  • I have to also say my friend is also posing like this.

  • Emma, I'm not going to embarrass you, but one day we have to sit down and go through these pictures. Because, they are genius.

  • Oh my god, I remember this photo. I'm gonna crop Emma out but I actually remember this photo.

  • And I remember thinking "I think l look great in this." I had just been on holiday, I had a tan. I've got yellow hoops on this time.

  • A little side pony, and a little bit of a sweat patch on my bra.

  • One of my ex-boyfriends made this.

  • He's put, "Zoe's secrets to long distance relationships", "Zoe Sugg reveals all about her new boyfriend",

  • "Zoe's top 10 tips to look as face meltingly fine as her. How does she get her teeth so white?"

  • It's Cosmopolitan! Can we just take a moment? That's so funny!

  • Because, I've actually been on the cover of cosmo now.

  • I wonder if he saw that?

  • These pictures are so funny

  • This album is called "Fred's Rave"

  • Why was I going to raves at fifteen?

  • Clearly it wasn't a rave.

  • Oh my god, I actually remember this night.

  • I remember it so clearly.

  • This was another party. I'm not sure what me and my friend are doing in that picture but

  • Havin' a great time!

  • oooohhhh a lil' bit of *singing* Sepia tone lovin' *stops singing* in this picture

  • Bloody love Jack Johnson

  • I've found an album called "Me webcam"

  • oh

  • Oh hell nah

  • This one's called "I love apple juice"

  • This picture's called "Sparkle Bitch"

  • I don't know why, it just is.

  • The hell is that?

  • *Cringes and regrets everything*

  • I just have no words for this picture.

  • I don't know why I'm caressing a doll. It's kinda creepy.

  • *sings* here comes trouble

  • With my little bleach highlights that I was so obsessed with, that looked terrible.

  • Look this is what my teeth looked like before I had braces.

  • Let's end on this one, because this one is totally normal

  • This is me with my stripey off the shoulder t-shirt, my pink leg warmers, my red spotty pumps, and all the beads I owned.

  • Oh and hoops and hair accessories. Basically every accessory I ever owned I'm wearing in this picture

  • And I'm actually posing in this photo in my village

  • Inside, I don't know the proper word for it but it's where they used to throw people when they were drunk *It's called the drunk tank Zoe*

  • In the olden days. Like really, really olden days, and that's where I am in this picture. On the bed that people would sleep on.

  • There are hundreds of these photos, so I feel like maybe every year I should kind of delve in and see if I can find anymore for your entertainment.

  • But, I actually really enjoy looking back over them, because they're so funny. And I remember 90% of those photos being taken.

  • And that's just insane.

  • Honestly, I think you guys need to get involved with this and I think you need to tweet me some embarrassing teenage photos.

  • I would absolutely love that, and it would definitely make me feel slightly better.

  • Make sure you tweet me, my twitter is @zoella you could also tag me on instagram if you want to post that on your instagram.

  • And again that's @zoella. But I really hope you guys enjoyed this video, give it a thumbs up if you did and i will see you again very soon. Bye!
