There are TV shows and then thereās @SchittsCreek
Season one feels like one long pilot but by season 3 youāll be obsessed and then sobbing when it ends.
Itās farce with fabulousness, gently deconstructing complex āpersonal politicsā alongside a glittery drizzle of pep talks

Find local delis and grocers that deliver.
Supporting local businesses is obviously a very good thing but many of them have so many delicious things that can make your day better.

Invest in something to make yourself nice coffee at home.
You can get an @AeroPressHQ for just over Ā£20 now - it basically makes a syringe of coffee.
Or a stainless steel pour over like this for about Ā£15.
For capsules, I adore @RoastworksDevon who deliver.

I assumed weighted blankets were just mumbo-jumbo but have found that mine really helps with the dread.
By putting 150 bean bags across your body, itās like a gentle, prolonged hug.
Feel like Iām finally sleeping a little deeper too.

@yogawithadriene (& Bengi

Her archive of classes are free on YouTube and itās been a bit of a revelation for me (and millions of people.
Even the 10min neck stretches are 100% worth making time for.

Lockdown has meant Iāve heard A LOT more radio.
Working there means listen to @BBC6Music all the time but Iāve loved dipping into a lot more @bbc5live & @mrjamesob on @LBC and trying loads more shows on @BBCSounds (thereās 80k hours!!!)

Having conversations through music is always important.
During the first lockdown I made a few people playlists, including this for human bomb of kindness @karmabertelsen to run to. It also works for a mid-morning moodlift. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5vbUDBmDyY7xbW6ORgHpao?si=AB_Hf3mESdyuO6mhGGuZ_Q

Finding a record that feels like a new home can be really calming.
During lockdown Iāve been happily lost inside the Spotless Mind wooziness of @gia_margaretās latest and prescribing it to people.

Have you considered acupressure?
I hadnāt and the idea of a bed of nails (think: plastic ridges) freaked me out but this has been quite a transformative Ā£20ish purchase.
20 mins on your back and you can almost dose off. Honestly.
