5 things I've been loving in Lockdown



Hello Loves, 

How are you all doing? It's been a couple of weeks since my last post, and lockdown restrictions have started to ease a bit. If I'm honest, I've loved being in lockdown because it's meant I've discovered new favourite things, started some new and exciting projects, and spent quality time with my mama, and that is what this post is about. I wanted to share with you five of my lockdown favourites...I hope you enjoy this post...




One thing I have absolutely loved since lockdown is being able to spend some proper quality time with my mum. With my job (I'm a customer care assistant at a 24hr McDonalds and work all hours) it's hard to spend proper time with Her. We are nearly always giggling and laughing at daft youtube videos,  being sarcastic, or dancing to the newest songs on my playlists. It's the best. 


The second thing I've loved is reading a lot more. I've re-read all the Harry Potter Books, and read the To All The Boys trilogy by Jenny Han. Two books I do have to mention are the disney bound book by Leslie Kay which is amazing for Disney fans who want to express their love for characters through the art of fashion, and What makes us Stronger by Freya Lewis. Freya was a survivor of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, and What makes us stronger is her story. Its beautifully written and emotional, and dedicated to Freya's best friend Nell Jones who sadly died in the attack. I loved this book, it made me smile and cry and is so worth reading. 



My third thing I've loved is listening to Podcasts. My favourite has to be Colby Schnacky's podcast which is a great listen, and its presented in a way that it doesn't feel like someone is trying to force their faith on you. Colby is authentic in the way that he shares his own personal experiences, and relates them to the Bible. Colby is an incredibly passionate speaker, with inspiring messages within each podcast episode. It's also inspired me to rediscover my relationship with God too. 100/10 would recommend. 


Music is something I've loved for the longest time. Nine times out of ten, if I'm not working, or watching Disney+ or The Real Housewives of Cheshire, you can find me with my earphones in, or my phone connected to my bluetooth speaker listening to music. I actually put a lockdown playlist together which you can find here. where I share some of the tracks I've been listening to throughout lockdown.



My final favourite is the new opportunities and projects I've been working on, including my online shop, The Phoenix Boutique which is launching VERY soon; The Believe Tribe, which is something positivity and confidence based. I'm also retraining to be an independent travel agent too, which is super exciting. 

That's it for this blog post. I hope you enjoyed it. What have you been loving during lockdown? I'd love to know in the comments below. I'll be back soon with another post. 

Signing off for now, 

Love, 

Katie Lauren xo.
