Help me sort my life out! Episode 9 VLOG | LiveitlikeLauren

[@imperishablestars33]

Oh my God, your mums garden is a dream come true! 🥰

[@gitaschweitzer9682]

Lauren, you’re truly my best reason to visit KZbin. I love love love your videos, your way of talking, your dialogues with your lovely Mum, your kindness, the authenticity that you bring into this whole online world. No, you’re not alone with the mental health struggle, I can absolutely relate 5o that and to that feeling of „guilt“…..though there is NO guilt….when you’re not always busy. I wish for you that you can just enjoy your resting times and gain some energy and inspiration out of it. Thank you for still being here, you’re a blessing. 💕💕💕💕

[@renealynnmn]

Such a sweet comment!

[@ang_activated]

Isn't she the best!?! I've been watching for years and she inspired me to lose over 100 pounds a handful of years ago. ❤

[@shoshannasays6188]

16:00-ish "TO BE FAIR..." omg this whole segment!! After sitting (in a wee state of confusion) listening to your mum explain what her trousers are supposed to look like, then a pic of what your mum ordered compared to what she got, I just HOWLED for minutes, minimum SOOOOO CUTE, SO GOOD, thank you! I can't. OK onwards...

[@giuliareni3036]

I would absolutely watch a series of you going around shops saying how terrible everything is! I do it all the time 😂

[@sunnnnnyday]

Completely relate to the anxiety around always feeling like you should be doing something. That was me today

[@marthacarr9861]

Love your videos Lauren! You always make me laugh, but most importantly, it’s your ease with which you share your life that makes someone feel that they are not alone. You are true, you are gentle, and you are kind. ❤

[@heifeifei]

When you talked about feeling guilty for taking a rest day it made me cry. I’ve been feeling a bit low this week and on top of that the guilt is crushing me. Thank you for being real and for sharing!

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

You are so welcome, I hope that the videos can help just a small bit x

[@noellemerry3747]

I enjoy seeing you so much that I watch many of these vids twice. Love when you said it's annoying when plants keep growing and need bigger pots and more space which becomes a never-ending task...they are our "children" and they depend on us! Love my plants !

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

So true! It’s never ending!

[@Amy_Stanmore]

The cockatiel mug is actually a galah and the parrot mug is a lorrikeet. If theres a black parrot then it could be a black cockatoo. I have them coming to my local park every day. Im changing over my tropical garden to a more native bird friendly garden. Just found your channel. Its like ive met a new good mate. Lots of laughs and good stories. 😂

[@heatherchenery9511]

You always make me smile and laugh and I look forward to watching your videos but if you ever need to take a week, take it! Never let the pressure effect you, your mental health comes first! Big hugs! ❤😊

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Thank you so much Heather. This means so much x

[@TheKerrymaid]

Hello Lauren from southern Ireland. I came across your videos about five years ago and I can honestly say I love them. They are honest and real and not the usual " all smiles and happy" for the camera. Thank you for keeping it real and interesting. I wish you nothing but happiness in life and keep making videos, you dont know how you help people❤️

[@AngeB08]

Hi Lauren, I'm a new subscriber, so I'm catching up on your past videos....just watched this one this morning. Just have to say, you're brilliant, and your mum is just the best (you're very lucky) xx❤❤

[@itsLindsayJean]

I can definitely relate to the feelings of burn out and struggling with mental health.

[@ang_activated]

Same

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

It’s so consuming!!!

[@iunihabaadih]

I absolutely adore your mother! I love the bluntness in their generation, your always a little torn about whether or not you were just insulted.😂💖

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Lolllll

[@KKaur1996]

This was absolutely brilliant - yep, I’m binge watching your content like an obsessed, crazed fan! 😂 Since I found you, I cannot get enough 🫶♥️ I loved this (and love you Lauren) to bits, and agree with the rest of the little KZbin family (yours and your lovely mum’s relationship is just beautiful, so precious ❤). Lots of love from a fellow Londoner over here xx

[@lasharajadhas1985]

Found you on KZbin recently, love your videos, and have been binging! But most of all love you, mum! Such a warm soul...she should start her own KZbin channel. Love from India!

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

WOW Hi from London!! Thanks for watching x

[@reemcakes101]

Lauren, maybe this is unsolicited advice but it's coming from a place of love. I relate so much to your feelings of being frozen and stuck in survival mode - wanting to do nothing and feeling guilty, doomscrolling in the car for hours before u get in... WANTING more than anything to get up and do things but physically not being able to. But recently I've found that just limiting my screentime to 1 hour a day has been so helpful./ My anxiety and ADHD means i'm always looking for stimulation, so I'm trying to occupy my time (and hands) with anything but my phone. Reading, coloring, decluttering, cleaning, going for a walk, doing my makeup - ANYTHING. Maybe try something like that for a while and see if it helps? I honestly feel like phones and non stop scrolling is such a huge percentage of all my mental health issues.

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Yeah you are so right. I definitely need to limit my phone time. Xx

[@theblog3035]

Great video. Thanks for taking us with you to the shops. It's good therapy/exposure for me (agoraphobic for many years) Your plants are so lovely. Your hair looks really nice and has reminded me I need to get a shower cap ordered to henna mine, I usually end up with a carrier bag on my head!😂 Hope you have a good week xx

[@carolinemoore8222]

I’ve had a super busy day and feel totally exhausted but watching your video has cheered me up.Your Mum and you are totally fabulous!!Your mum relating her hair to a cockatiel and her matching mug made me laugh for the first time today!Thank you so much!😂❤

[@michellewoodrum7880]

Videos can NEVER be too long!! 😂 I can completely understand not wanting to do anything on your days off. I am that way. Especially since I’m an introvert and my days off are when I need quiet time to recharge.

[@loramull6377]

Hello Lauren! New subscriber here and are enjoying your videos. You have a great sense of humor and I’m often laughing out loud with you :) I love how you speak about mental health and it’s ok to take a break. I had a massive headache most of the day today and just surrendered to it and the couch most of the day. I even have children.. they need to see also that’s it’s ok to listen to your body and rest, veg or whatever. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Exactly! I’m so proud of you for listening to your body xxx make sure you are getting enough water too xxx

[@shjewu]

Love your stream. I look forward every week. I feel like sometimes that I’m only one living the way I do but when I see your vlogs. It lifts my spirits up to see what you do. Keep well Lauren in everything u do!!! Keep em coming.

[@MariyahinLondon]

A very very well needed vlog today. I’ve had an awful day and this gave me some well needed company. Thank you Lauren 🩷

[@renealynnmn]

Hope your day gets better

[@MariyahinLondon]

@@renealynnmn 🩷 thank you lovely

[@maiseywick3045]

Looks forward to a video every Sunday. You’re my comfort to help me relax, but totally relate to this! Always feel like I should be doing something, even when I’m in bed I feel like I should tidy 😂😅❤

[@paigethomas6099]

Been sick in bed all day and your videos are helping me get through it. Thank you for bringing us along with you. Appreciate you for all you do and for keeping it real ❤

[@TarotwithB]

I completely understand the pressure about posting regularly on youtube! It's so stressful seeing revenue and engagements going down. My mental health has been horrid this summer and it's definitely impacted how often I've been posting so you're not alone! I adore your videos so much and always look forward to them. ❤

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Thank you so much B!! I am sure that YT do it to put fear into us! Sending you a huge cuddle x

[@marythomas6543]

I’ve missed so many videos! I can’t wait to catch up. Hope all is well and you’re feeling a bit better.

[@lauren-8889]

My boyfriend and I were bummed right along with you that you didn't get to have the Biscoff MC flurry! Then we started talking about how long it's been since we went to McDonald's.....then naming off our favorite things there....and now we're eating cheeseburgers and fries!! Thanks for the inspo, Lauren! 😄💕

[@JAllen-n5f]

Great content as usual & just love your mum such a genuine lovely wise woman ! 😊 Love you both X

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@callmecoops1722]

I don’t watch many KZbinrs anymore but I love you. Easier said than done but try not to beat yourself up on top of feeling down. Life can be tough. Love your mum too x

[@kateslowvisionliving8091]

Love you Lauren! Yes a styling video would be great. Also the black raven plant looked absolutely AMAZING in the new pot. Yes please bring ‘wasp foot’ friend Lauren back on. Hot day here in Mesquite Nevada…currently 107 F. Cheers❤

[@simonamimosa6160]

Sometimes just getting out of the door, to the shops or to the pub for a beer will change your mindset, talking from experience with dealing with very intimidating men this week. Getting away for a couple of days away from screens definitely helps too! Glad you got all your nice bits and loved your hail Lauren! Xx ❤🎉

[@ReneM246]

Hi beautiful soul, yes we absolutely must rest. We forget that we are biological beings and not machines. Rest and repair are essential to physical and mental health, and eventually financial well-being and productivity. Love your videos. Take care of you x

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

You are so right. We must rest! x

[@justjulesoriginal]

Totally relate, I watch you most Sunday after laying in my pit all weekend, kicking myself I've not done "enough ". But without fail, each Sunday I'm listening/watching you while washing & twisting my hair, self care IS good enough❤

[@christianeegbert8928]

Budgeting "doing nothing" is just as important for me as getting my work done. I like to have at least one hour of lay-down time in the middle of the day. I don't have 18 kids, but I worked 18 years in corporate America and I've earned these siestas. Ole!

[@happyinbrighton5480]

Hey Lauren, did you know that you can recycle all of those soft plastics at Tesco? We take all of ours and they recycle them into their carrier bags 😊

[@nikkijohnston2891]

Your videos can never be too long Lauren remember that lol news from today torn ligament in my knee this is week 6 driving me crazy can't hardly move going stir crazy stuck indoors I envied you walking round ikea ! Plants look gr8 ! Have a lovely week x love to your mum x

[@LeaLaw2202]

Hi Lauren I don’t usually comment but wanted to say your video’s are a joy to watch and I hope you have a lovely week ahead 😊💗

[@debmansbridge3923]

Hi lovely I’m a newbie follower , listening to you when your addressing the fast speed of life is so relatable please please list to your body and mind . I have ME and now have no choice and yesssss my life is literally exhausting 😢. But finding you and watching your vlogs has brightened my life I literally wet myself laughing at you yesterday you were dying your hair and putting a shower cap on and posing your parcels love love love you keep being our fucking fabulous Lauren xx

[@shoshannasays6188]

"There's a second piece of fabric..." Comedy gold! And she looks very comfy too:) 🤣🤣

[@KiwiGirl1111]

Loved every moment! If you need a break, don’t need to feel pressure to film these. You are very important to us ❤️💕🥰

[@mazeaston5339]

I’m so with you on the MH. I’ve just started seeing a counsellor, first session last week after losing my dad in Jan 💔. The thought of work tomorrow is sending my anxiety through the roof xxx

[@amiithyst.x]

just found you and binge watching your vlogs - appreciating your *relatablism* home sense is a great place for wrapping paper and gift bags btw!

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Thanks for the tip! Welcome to my channel ❤️ It’s great to have you x

[@mafish7962]

Hi Lauren, the M and S biscoff hot cross buns were the most delicious invention ever! Laura ❤❤❤

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

They are!

[@DemiLulu]

Baby is me too. 🤣 After spending all day doing nothing looking at four walls, I thoroughly relate. Hugs to you. And me. 🥴🩷 Thanks for such an entertaining and long vlog. Xx

[@lindajohnson6905]

Hello Lauren, I enjoyed your video. My day was tiring day due to it being my weekend to work. So now i'm relaxing watching your video. You always manage to make me giggle. The bang thing on your date was hilarious. I also have burned out days where I just don't want to do anything . Sometimes we need that and it's okay.

[@carolharris9609]

Lauren, it doesn’t matter if you have no kids, don’t work, or 18 kids and 3 jobs……we all have our coping mechanisms. Occasionally we simply just can’t load more onto our already jammed time. We all have different energy levels and mental health levels. I for one don’t work, as I’ve retired, but seriously….some days I just can’t even barely stay awake, or move from the couch. Other days I do so much that I surprise even myself. I can relate to you just wanting to lay in bed and stare at the ceiling. I had a breakdown years ago and for 2 years I couldn’t even leave my house. I would just lay in the foetal position and not move all day…..this went on a long time. So be kind to yourself, relax, slow down and learn your limits and don’t feel guilt because of it either. You do you hun, and ignore the haters. You do amazingly well. Keep up the good work xx😘🌸💖🌸💖

[@ikrobiee]

We're on vacation this week and I have to remind my bf it's okay to not always being doing something and that resting or being lazy is not "wasting" our vacation. I love your content because you're realistic about life not being all happy all the time. 🖤

[@Nina-kr8yc]

Your so real life lauren! Never change 😊

[@justkhloevlogging]

Your mom is precious.

[@ohkaydoris]

Cracking vlog lauren, just on a binge of your vids ah aha ha one of my fav cosy game youtubers recommended you and im so glad i found your channel! You and your friend were so fun to watch! Shes so gorgeous too! ❤❤

[@carolinecasado1807]

What a gorgeous back garden 😍. I am new subscriber. Love watching you and your mum. Just wanted to say hello from Asheville NC (USA) 👻

[@manuella6297]

Your Mommy is so lovely.

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Thank you xx

[@jobyanne77]

So many positive comments, you deserve them all. Been watching your videos for years. You’re my constant, I look forward to watching your videos and seeing what you get up to. How’s the decluttering going? ❤

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Thank you so much for these beautiful words xx it’s going well, but still a way to go x

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

[@starperry1784]

Love the trousers from vinted caramel waffles my favourite sposed to lye flat on ya cupa to soften xxx

[@marinalondon7399]

Thanks for videos. Lauren, its so interesting no matter which size we are most of us feel unsecure and not good enough :( Or not doing good enough. Very upsetting actually. I love the way your are, you just show on camera yourself when you woke up. or colouring your hair. You are best example to everyone. xxx

[@renealynnmn]

Those caramel waffle things are dangerous! I bought a huge 3 pack last year around the holidays at COSTCO, Shockingly 2 packs are still in my freezer. Oh and HUGS! Love a new vlog, always! xxxx

[@mahle5]

I'm really enjoying your vlogs. I'd lost your channel for a few years and I'm so happy I found you again. Love your mum xxxxx

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Welcome back! I’m so glad to have you here again xxx

[@amyjava1935]

Your mum's house is stunning. I also xan relate to burn out. Hope this week's been better for you lovely xxx

[@marymagnano6726]

Hahahahaha that face is my exact face when they say ....oh the frappe machines getting cleaned.😅😮😢xxxxx❤

[@elizabethanne1632]

Re: your mom’s idea, here in the US, in some very big truck stops in major hubs, they do have dentist offices, doctor offices (more like urgent care … not sure of the UK equivalent, like a drop-in for basic medical needs), etc. so that truckers who spend a ton of time on the road can still take care of life responsibilities. All that to say - while not a five minute task, I would love a salon in a train station. Once I get home from work it’s so hard to head back out but if I could schedule something to stop on my way home …

[@julietyler8864]

I’m with you Lauren, bring back the Biscoff McFlurry immediately, stuff the other flavors they don’t compare. Always enjoy the little plant segment ❤, I’m not good with indoor plants at all, but this makes me feel like I’m learning something 😅😊. Doing well today thanks, off out for a walk shortly, suns out & it’s one of the few afternoons it isn’t raining ☔️. Hope you’re having a good one? X

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Thank you Julie. I’m doing well, I’m glad you like the plant section. I find them really calming to talk about x

[@sacmom3]

I really enjoyed shopping with you to see what the different stores look like. I think your plant therapy perked you up a little bit. 😊. I got excited when you said you were going to do a food haul. I wanted to see the 🎶kitchen in a cupboard, Yeah.”🎶

[@georgiabelle5176]

Your parents have such a lovely garden

[@itsLindsayJean]

Mum's purple jumper! 💜

[@marabelcarrera]

12:25-15:32 is the story of my life!!! Love you, Lauren! 🫶🏼

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Thank you so much Marabel x

Thank you so much lovely xx

[@VictoriaPaxton]

Lauren, take care of you. Don't worry about KZbin or anything else 😊

[@VictoriaPaxton]

Rough week 😊

[@janethughes9541]

Always take your water bottle with you it’s so much easier to get your amount in for the day.

[@AngelYoules]

Hey Lauren, I'm doing good actually :) have time off work and loving it, living my best life 😁 hope you're well. Love that you're vlogging regularly again

[@joannestanley5670]

Hi Lauren I owe you so much! I've just tried out the 🥑 on toast with a bit of sea salt and pepper it was absolutely delicious 😋 x

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

It’s so yum!

[@renealynnmn]

Sometimes I think we all just need a reset. Mine is a dark room. I have black out curtains. It can be 2PM and I have days that I call "dark room day". I pull the curtains and turn off the lights and shut out the world. We all need that. Even if your version is a bed full of stuff (that would drive me insane btw) Just push it off the end of the bed and throw a blanket over it. Tada.... lol xxxxx

[@beatmakee5160]

Please don’t feel pressured to make videos. We enjoy them but your mental health comes first. I’ve been watching your videos for so many years now and it’s a bit of escapism for me. I usually put a vid on whilst I’m cleaning, taking a bath, etc. I really appreciate your videos but it’s more important that you put yourself first in whatever way that might be

[@heatherwilliams4073]

Im so glad I stumbled upon your videos as of just yesterday!!! I relate a lot n just love you!!!! ❤

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Hey Heather!! Welcome xxx

[@sophiaminter8197]

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you xxx

[@allycatwild]

I'm new..catching up watching all your videos! Love love

[@sirenabean]

Speaking of forgetting how to drive. I, one time, in a transaction that took place in less than 5 minutes, had to ask which pedal was the gas and which one was the brake because I had forgotten since I've been without a car for years. My little brother has clung to that, and made it his go to/built in joke/insult/burn. It's been like 2 years now. I think he thinks because he's taller than me, that makes us on the same playing field even though I'm 14 years older than him, and he should respect my authority. No one wants to take sass from someone in their 20s lol.

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Oh I have definitely had that thought! You need to get something on him 😂

[@nikoletastavropoulou5515]

Your plants 🪴 are beautiful, Lauren .

[@karenkirwan123]

I love watching you playing with your plants. It’s a bit of ASMR. Had a good day just facing around. Take care lovely lady🫶🫶🌺

[@Loutube8]

I'm sorry but your mum's idea is genius!!!! ❤🎉 rootie tootie!

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Right?! So good!

[@Loutube8]

@LiveitlikeLauren I'd just like to say that i stumbled across your channel today for the first time and have been binging all day. You're so real and I love that and I love that after all these years you haven't gone all youtube professional and still film by hand (if that makes sense) it's not the same when people go all professional. Also, I'd like to add that you're stunning and your mum is adorable x

[@MsTagestraumer]

Now I want to make a trip to IKEA haha. It was fun running errands with you. I love the shirt you have on in the very beginning. I so feel the lack of motivation and mental health break needed. I spent my day off today cleaning and organizing and now I want to take tomorrow off to do something “fun”. Like a trip to IKEA LOL.

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

IKEAAA!!! YES!

[@randomgirl192]

Hi Lauren. I live in France but I'm going to Jersey soon and I hope I'll get to try the Galaxy chocolate Mcflurry. Here, we have the Biscoff one all year but I've never tried it (I always get the M&M's one) 😘

[@oranges37]

So used to your vids on a Sunday evening.....love them....r.i.p biscoff mcflurry.....😂😂😂......styling vids would be great.....but you taking us on your travels is all we need!....❤❤❤

I kinda felt bad for you when you mentioned come your day off then you start thinking oh I have to vlog. You definitely need to take some “me” time so you don’t burn out. I really really really enjoy your vlogs/content. I find it relaxing watching you. I know it is also “ work” on your part but just know that we appreciate you very much! Please don’t stop, it’ll make me cry lol You are my Sunday routine. Dr. Dray & Lauren. Hope you have an amazing week! Ps. Now I want Biscoff blizzard. Hmmm. Maybe make my own….. 😂 okay enough typing!
