haven't commented on a video for months but i just wanted to say it's so refreshing seeing your realistic day with realistic thoughts, worries, hardships etc. i've been having a really hard time with depression in the last while and seeing everything looking so perfect online all the time is so difficult, this video reminded me that everyone has their ups and downs. thank you so much for that lauren
I want to give you the biggest hug 🥺❤️ thank you so much for your lovely comment and I’m so sorry you’re having a tough time at the moment. I hope life gets a little easier for you soon ❤️
@@laurencurtis thank you so much, i really appreciate it ❤
Love this relatable content Loz. Everyone who watches you has grown too and we all need Botox too 😂
🤣🤣
We have an anxious dog and I 100% get it. It’s hard when you’re exhausted and you need space away from them needing to be with you all the time! Doesn’t me we love our pets any less but it’s definitely hard sometimes! ❤
❤️❤️
You’re so right Lauren. Life is up and down and I really appreciate seeing the reality of peoples lives online. You’re doing an amazing job managing all the things in your life. Thanks for sharing with us. Hope you’re feeling a bit better. Xx😌😊💕
Thank you so much Lisa! x

I’m not really one to post a comment. I just wanted to say thank you for being your authentic self. It’s nice seeing other people not just showing the good stuff going on in their lives.
It’s good for you to take some time out for yourself and give yourself some self care.
Hope you feel better soon❤
Thank you so much Rebecca that is so lovely xx
I used to have a foster dog with severe separation anxiety so I know how draining it can be, and you you have to plan everything around them! Love your videos 💗
It’s really tough! Thank you ☺️
Anxious dogs are so special but really rule every aspect of your life. I find myself getting anxious about my little anxious dog. Just a cycle of anxiety. Thanks for opening up about it. Glad it’s not just me! 😅
You are a sweet person, take your time and take one step at a time, we love you lauren❤️
Loving the vlogs ❤!!!
Absolutely love the realness!! … Thankyou xx very much relate.
I definitely watch too many UA-cam videos etc that make me feel shit that my life isn’t perfect!! Nobody’s is!
Thank you Lauren for just saying how things are. I’ve had a really down week of just feeling so UGH with life… I deleted all my social media and couldn’t even bring myself to watch any other UA-camrs videos this week because usually they’re so upbeat and happy and showing all the amazing things they’re doing, and sometimes it just makes you feel so bleh. So thank you for sharing your real moments. I feel the exact same way about having kids… I just don’t think I’d cope, I need so much time for myself to function I can’t imagine having to be on constantly for little children, I take my hat off to parents❤
Thanks for being real in your vlogs
Yesssss you fold a towel like a normal person 🤣👌
what's the abnormal way? 😂
@@laurencurtis every other way of doing it 🤣❤️
That vase 😅, triggered my trypophobia 🥲
A lot of people said the same thing on my Instagram stories 😅
Me too! And you even put the warning and I thought HA! that table won’t get me. And then.. the vase 😭
🤣🤣
The intermittent silent shots of Mia with funny faces are so good 😂😂
Hope you are feeling better xx
Love all these vlogs xx
Love up lights on trees. We did all the trees in our yard and it just makes it look like a resort.
Lauren, you, Reece and little Mia have been through a huge upheaval in life lately. The whole moving saga combined with Reece's health battles. It's all having an affect on you - don't underestimate that. The health stuff is traumatic and we're conditioned by society to have a 'get on with it' attitude.
Don't feel like you're wasting a day or that you need to be there for everyone else all of the time just because it may seem like less of an inconvenience for you to make the trips etc. Life changes for everyone and everyone is continually finding their footing in new spaces and state of minds. I think everything has changed for everyone these past couple of years and it's showing on all of us - and it's bloody hard to feel like we need to keep holding on to what life was like back then when it feels like everything has changed.
I felt the heaviness when you were getting ready - I do the same. You want to be there and it's fine once you're there, but it's having to get there and having to put in so much effort when life is already feeling like so much.
As for sweet little Mia, big hugs. I'm an anxious person and have an anxious dog too. Life definitely revolves around them and it can be difficult to cope with sometimes especially if other things in life are getting harder. I think she's probably picking up on the stress and worries of everything lately.
Have you got/considered a two way camera (we use google nest) when you're out that you can check on / talk to her and reassure her you're still "there" -- it helps reassure me as much as it helps Ollie. Or even engaging in a trusted pet sitter to pop in and check her if you'll be out of town? Poor little possum. Every time I see her pop up on my screens I just want to scoop her up and give her cuddles.
I don't know if any of this is making sense or if it's overstepping or just seeming parasocial But I just wanted to say: your little family unit is so beautiful, you're all doing your very best and these shitty moments aren't forever.
Absolutely beautiful comment thank you so so much. You’re so right about forgetting how intense life has been lately and just automatically adopting the ‘get on with it’ attitude. We’ve tried those cameras and they don’t work for her unfortunately 😞 I’m hoping with time she will settle a bit - she usually does once she’s been in a house long enough
Loving this relatable lifestyle content, those up and down days are soooo real!
❤️
❤️
Thank you for the relatability ❤❤❤
I have the same thoughts about kids I don’t want/need any the thought of being responsible for someones up bringing and well being is terrifying to me. I can relate with you it’s hard when you have an anxious dog I have one and even a trip to the store has me running because he can’t stay alone for too long. When I go to work he gets dropped at my mums, I love my dog not complaining just sharing 😅
100%!
Totally understand what you mean with Mia. I have a very clingy dog and as much as we love them, sometimes it’s so hard and it doesn’t get spoken about enough because there ‘just a dog’. Loving your videos❤
Totally! Thanks so much 💕💕
Thank you SO much for that warning!!! Your home is so gorgeous and I love seeing the terrain and hearing about the wildlife in Australia, as a girly from the Florida beaches in the US. I also just wanted to say thank you, what you expressed at the end of the vlog was so relatable and makes me feel better in dealing the same way.
Oh thank you ❤️
The grass trees lit up reminded me of the 90's fibre optic tourch stick things we had as kids! They look incredible lit up 😍
Hahaha yesss!
Wow you live in such beauty !! Love the lights on the trees ✨✨✨✨✨👍👍🩷🩷🩷
Loving the vlogs Lauren, we have a kelpie who’s quite anxious too, very needy, follows us everywhere and doesn’t take to people, it’s hard sometimes but I wouldn’t change it for the world and we can all see how much Mia means to you both 🥰.
❤️❤️
As someone with an anxious dog, it can be soooooooooooo hard. You try everything to help, and it usually only takes the edge off. It dictates your life, it dictates your actions, literally everything. It feels so helpless as the pet parent, sometimes it can be so teeth clenching frustrating, but we do what we need to do to make them feel safe. It’s so expensive, too. You’re not alone in your plight, I hear you, and I second that.
🥺😔❤️ yep. Thank you so much x
I know you have so much going on in your life and your still dealing with the trauma of Reece’s health. I really hope your mental health starts feeling a bit better soon. You seem so flat since moving into the new house. Hopefully once Reece is feeling better you guys can have some more happiness 🤍🤍
I absolutely LOVE hearing that your view on having kids is so similar to mine. We need our SPACE and free time. I’m already tired as is hahah
Yyyyyyyep 🤣
Take care Lauren❤
Bless little Mia, she’s so cute. Old age is so sad in our pets. My cat is 17, toothless and going a bit senile. It’s so hard isn’t it? I wish they understood us sometimes. I love your garden with the lights in the trees. I live in Perth. You are the only Aussie UA-camr that I subscribe to. It’s weird but I’m much older than you but so much that you say really resonates with me. All your ups and downs and feeling teary I can really relate to. My downs are mainly when I’m homesick for my friends in England (where I’m from) which is at least once every week. Well done on that long drive. I really dislike long car journeys. It’s not like travelling in UK where everything is up the road or round the corner lol 😆 Look after yourself, Lauren and enjoy that beautiful home of yours, it’s gorgeous 💐
What a genuinely lovely and sweet comment. Thank you so much 🥹❤️
@@laurencurtis I wasn’t sure you’d even see my comment so thank you for replying 🥰 PS off topic…I have that milk frother too, great isn’t it?!
The editing on this video is so good 😂 reminded me of the office almost
Hahaha glad you enjoyed :D
Particularly the potato gems segment
your garden is such a wonderland, the lights looked amazing!! I live for my pets too, totally get it. IDK how I can have kids plus needy pets one day!!
😂❤️
Loved you talking about the sink edge. It’s those little first world problems that everyone thinks about but doesn’t mention 😂😂
I feel you on the anxious dog 😣 It’s so draining sometimes
😔
I’ve been a long time follower (since like the clubbing makeup days) and I don’t usually comment but I just wanted to say that I’m loving the real and raw vlogs! You have come so far and you should be so proud.
As for Mia, I rescued an older dog from RSPCA and he had crazy separation anxiety so I know how you feel. Not sure if you have tried the ‘adaptil’ in the diffuser and but I found it worked pretty good along with the ‘thunder shirt’ which is basically a swaddle but for dogs 😂
Wow, I can really relate on what having an anxious dog feels like. Especially being voluntarily child free for much of the same reasons you are. It becomes such an internal conflict of loving your pet unconditionally but at the same time feel much of the stressors of caring for a small and very demanding little life. And how there is such need for personal space at times. And it’s so hard to have a relatable conversation on the topic if you’re not in the same situation, because it’s “just a dog, it’s not like you have a child or anything really important”. Which drives me nuts. Everyone’s reality is personal and what you feel is valid and human. People shouldn’t compare struggles to begin with cause they’re so relative. Anyhow. Just wanted to send some support your way. Tomorrows a new day, with space and possibilities for better emotions! X
You hit the nail on the head! Thank you so much ❤️❤️
This is so relatable. I love my friends but I have a very small social battery, the older I get the more it shrinks. Some Sundays I'm so exhausted from having seen mates that I don't even have the energy to do all the life admin I know I need to do. I just eat and crash on the sofa and then I feel bad cause I was lazy. So yeah, I reallyyyyyy get it. Also I understand about Mia, one of the reasons I choose to have a cat instead of a dog (for now!), you can leave them overnight and they will be fine ^^ sending you lots of love xxx
Thank you so much ❤️ I know what you mean! It doesn’t mean you love them any less, but being super introverted is hard for others to understand 😩 normally I don’t feel this tired after being with my best friends but it’s just the driving and the time out of my routine that messes me up. It’s like jet lag 😂 and yep I definitely see the appeal of cats in that way!
We are also child free by choice with an anxious dog who we love and adore but also runs our life haha! I feel so seen. xoxo
Me too 🥹💕
I feel you and relate to you so much in this video about Mia. I have a King Charles cav (love her to bits) but her anxiety kills me & especially when we are driving. I have tried sooo many things to try to stop her from whining in the car and nothing has worked so far. It definitely is energy draining & in those moments it reminds me why I probably don’t want kids. Thanks for keeping it real! Because sometimes I feel people think we are being “dramatic” when we talk about our dog and needing to be home etc.
but I wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤ if you have any tips please share 😅
Reminds me of my Sunday before I had kids 😅
🤣
I totally get where you are coming from with not having or ready to have kids. I chose not to have kids and when people hear I don't have any, their first question is, "don't you like them"?.... It's so hard to explain the many reasons why I decided not to, but very few people get it. So I stopped explaining.
As for Mia being anxious and you both work your social life around her, I also have a very high strung dog. So again I fully understand your stress making sure she is OK when you plan something.
I feel less weird knowing there is someone else out there similar to me. 😊
and I feel less alone after reading your comment, too! So thank you for sharing ❤️
I have 5 kids. It's not for everyone. I used to like them... 🤣🤣
Yep I agree with you, I’m exactly the same!!!! Never wanted children of my own and I don’t regret my decision at all!
Pleasssee!! Where are your plates and bowls from! The vintage old style look 😊
Myer!! They’re called ‘heritage’. So glad you love them too cos a lot of people don’t 🤣
As a mum of 2 I completely get the not wanting kids 😂
I second this comment as a mom of two as well, hahaha! 😅😆
Ugh why did I look when you said fear of holes 😮😮. Love your home btw 😍
Hahaha thank you!
Loving this content ❤ I got botox a few weeks ago and I'm obsessed 😂
It’s the best 😂
Ughhh you and Reece are so stinking cute together, I can’t deal! 😍
How far is your closest neighbor?
We have a anxious dog as well. He’s a dachshund BUT we also have another dog who was around before him (a boxer). He (the dachshund) absolutely loses his shit if I take her (the boxer) for a walk without him. All the barking and sometimes it’s like a crying bark like he’s being abused or something 🙄 I laughed when you said you needed to close the door to have a minute & I completely felt that. This is my favourite video of yours!!!
My dog is the exact same! It’s so exhausting and hard 😅😢
😢😢😢
Hey Lauren, where did you get your carpets from please the colour is lovely
They’re from Godfrey Hirst, ‘Chatsworth’ by Hycraft in colour ‘710 Sir William’!
What was the machine you used to put your potato gems in?
Thanks for the trypophobia warning 🥰 loving your content ❤
I understand. I have a special needs pup. I’m sorry your poor pup is so anxious. ❤
❤️
Hi Lauren, completely get an anxious pet, have you tried the pheromone plug ins? Just a thought. You are amazing and strong, just going through the mill a bit. Big hugs my dear xxx
Yeah we’ve tried almost everything 😞 thank you!
❤😂🎉
Guys give your selves a break 😢 you’ve been through some big challenges lately ❤
Thank you x
You guys have the perfect home for mia have you ever thought of adopting another pet 😊
She’s an only child kind of dog 😂 definitely don’t want the added responsibility of a second dog!
@@laurencurtis understandable. Mia is one lucky dog
I get the autistic burnout a lot. What you did would have been enough for me to feel like you do. I'd probably recluse for a week afterwards but that first day after I feel like I just exist.
😢
❤️❤️😘😘💖💖😙
You can lift your eyebrows w Botox if you have them place it in right spots
Yeah I need to book an appt!
Lauren, do you think it’s possible you might be suffering (hopefully temporary) depression? I’m just seeing a few red flags in this video and you have been through a LOT in the past few months. Might be worth a chat with your GP. I don’t mean this as a negative comment at all, just a concerned viewer with some experience of depression and it presenting with some of the same feelings that you talk about in this video.
Thank you for your concern ❤️ I don’t think so as it always passes, but if I felt like it wasn’t I would definitely seek help 😊
Hai bro
You should film more with Reece 😊 you guys are cute
He hardly talks but you’re entertaining
I’d seriously invest in a dog trainer, dogs have anxiety and other issues but you can’t have a dog getting like that because you travel or leave the house and they are alone, that’s not fair on you or the dog. Lots of people use anxiety as an excuse for pet behaviour and it’s not true, it’s a behaviour that can be changed and will make life happier for all
Just stop thinking and you will never need Botox again.
Look how cute your man is washing dishes. 💖
Red Earth… ❤
Hi
I'm only 1 minute into the vid but the space surrounding your house is quite dark. I can see why you didn't want to stay there when Reece was in the hospital. I know you just said you don't want to disturb any wildlife with too many lights but what about your protection to see if strangers are on your property? Especially after seeing the 2 random flashing lights in the distance. I might be paranoid...
I feel like you're such a caring and loving partner and dog mum you would be an amazing mini Lauren/Reece mum too! What you say is true about needing space but it's also so true the joy a little human brings in your life. You're not really missing out as Rawbeauty by Kristi eloquently said you won't know until you have the baby. At the same time because the babies have some resemblance of you and your partner and look adorable it's easy to fall in love with them with time more and more. Initially to me, my girl was like an organ of mine I needed her more than I loved her. It's similar in a sense that you wouldn't regret having your pet even if you know life would be easier not choosing to have a pet in the first place save yourself from the heartake of one day losing them and the challenges that come to caring for them...
I understand your point, but that was just one of the many reasons I genuinely do not want kids
@@BaA-zz4pq👏👏👏👏
I know you don’t believe in God, but He believes in you❤️. He knows everything you are going thru and loves you with an everlasting love.
Shame.You’re so concerned about your dog. Try having a baby,much worse
I dont get the hype with dogs
Dogs are the most wonderful creatures on earth 🥰
@@laurencurtis nooooo helpless babies with no manners
Hey Lauren, I have a rescue puppy so I can understand how you feel about your dog. Is it worth maybe seeing another vet and maybe changing her medication, see if there is something better to help her more? I know its tough but as she gets used to your new house she will start to settle in more and it will get easier in time.
Also wanted to mention that towards the end of the video where you are worried about wasting a day but wouldn't be able to focus on work. You are being very hard on yourself. You've had a very rough few months with Reece, and your mind and soul are probably exhausted. On days like that, where you say you feel like crying, just let it out. And remember that it is okay to do nothing. Our society is currently built around productivity so it's hard to do because it feels wrong. But you deserve a break. You deserve time to do nothing, and to relax. Even if wanting to think about work again, your quality of work, and your creativity will be so much higher if you allow yourself some time to unwind. You deserve it. xxx
Thank you so much 🥺❤️
