I think in general, ever since Covid, people have lost their social skills. Nobody seems to want to make an effort to get to know anyone, ask questions etc anymore. Sad really.
Watching you tidy up has a dual impact on my brain … it gives me borderline anxiety at the beginning of the video when we see all the mess on the floor … but then I get a cathartic feeling of achievement once everything is tidied. I have been watching Melanie’s videos for years and had no idea she is your real life friend. What a small world! ❤
Hi Lauren! I had lost track of you for a while, I’m glad you are on RUclips again. I have been trying to catch up on your videos. I have been with you since day one, because you reminded me so much of my daughter. Lo and behold, I just realized on your last birthday vlog, you and my daughter was born on the exact same day, same year.😳 She is having the same challenges as you, trying to sort out her life. Me too, it’s a constant. 😂 It’s great seeing your mom again, she seems so so sweet. Take care. I’m sending you a coffee, make it an iced one.😂🥰
I live in south-east London Lauren, but I used to drive across North London to get to the motorway. I love watch you drive around! I dunno why, I find it relaxing. 😌 😎
I like to be minimal in the things I purchase. For example, buy a mascara, use it fully up, then buy a new one. But a maximalist in style and decor in my home! Like you said, there is so much color in the world and it effects your mind! One gray and miserable winter day I looked at my gray walls and felt like if I changed them then the outside wouldn't be so bad to look at. Boy was I right! Now every room in my house is a different color and I've been loving making each space uniquely it's own. Still working on my closet. Wanting to be more minimal but keeping color and diversity because it helps my mental health! Also not allowing myself to buy anymore black clothes to hide my body helps immensely too!
Hi Lauren, I love your videos, can totally relate to so much! loved this one as you were driving round my neck of the woods so fun to see places I recognise 😀
You are just amazing Lauren your Mum is lovely and your honesty is fantastic more people should be like you 🩷 you did look lovely all done up in your Car after your date . Oh and as for heat here in Australia , well Perth WA anyway we get to 40 deg on some very Hot Summer days it’s disgusting !!! Thank God for Airconditioning . There are people here that have moved from the UK and love this heat and even go to the Scorching Beach on days like this ah NO I have no idea how they stand it xx
While you were driving and you mentioned Park Royal, I used to work in PR and lived in Sudbury Hill, then you said about going to Dorset which is where I live now😁🤣 small world!!
I do not miss going on dates, but if I do in the future, I definitely know what I want and don’t want now. Used to people please so much 😅. Glad you told him and you looked so lovely! ❤
About the reviews: If this is a serious dating app - as in people are looking for long-term-relashionships, it wouldn't make sense to only leave reviews if you either fell in love or if he was rude in any way (in the last case you should absolutely comment that). I think in most cases people are nice enough - but you just only click with certain people. He was clearly not interested in you and neither were you in him. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. No harm done. - So I think it would only be kind to leave a comment like "nice guy, but we didn't click".
I like it how you use degrees of Fahrenheit and Celcius in the same conversation! It's like you're bilingual! I think Brits also do this with inches and cm.
A loft above your bed for storage would be lovely 😊 Beautiful garden your folks place 🎉. I can be seen throwing stuff in my trash bin outside 😂. I donate and throw. I am feeling too anxious to have too much crap around me as I get older😬😬😬 we were hanging at 100 F and now Nice and cool WOOHOO. 65F. MINNESOTA MIKI 😊
Lol, for the date: you clearly didn't click with each other and that's ok. A fourth date sounds like this one has potential. 😌 The apartment is coming along nicely! I always wondered how people functioned without a dresser. I keep organized by having drawers for things. 😄
I'm a new subscriber and been binge watching your videos lol... Sorry about the disastrous date, but the review bit had me in fits 😂😂 you could of said "nice guy, but was a bit like dragging a dead horse through the desert..he made no effort at all" 😂😂...on a more serious note I probably would have just ghosted him! Love your videos...I've just watched you move to your new house ❤
I've been watching you for a few days, started from about 4 years ago and now I'm here 😅 Must have missed what happened with your girlfriend. I'm more of a minimalist than "clutterbug" but it's still motivating anyway, even us weirdos do collect random crap here and there 🤭 You're just like a friend I used to have in Weymouth, you look alike and act alike lol. Anyway, all the best from Finland 🤗🇫🇮
I think it would have been nice to leave a pleasant review that just stated he was nice enough but you weren’t for each other - he didn’t fancy you and you didn’t fancy him but someone might!
I used to live in Chiswick too! Strand on the green… I’m with you in a first date a guy should always put his hand in his pocket, no one wants to date a skin flint! Onwards and upwards hun xx
That date sounds familiar lol. Some gu.. people don’t know how to make an effort! Also guy not offering a drink is one of my big red flags. I kind of think after that kind of date if no one texts each other after no harm done. But he clearly had a different idea of the date than you! I hate getting the ‘no connection’ text but it’s for the best really, one of the worst things about being an adult , having to be mature 😁 You are so good sending that honest text! Inspirational ❤
May I ask about the program you edit your videos? What is it ? I need to change mine but I don’t know what to choose . Can you recommend Please ? 💓I love watching your videos by the way😊
Hey Lauren, good job on the clear out (so far). I totally get the overwhelm, even though you know the end result will be so much better for your peace of mind. Proud of you for the way you handled his 'request'. A real estate agent who runs our neighbourhood FaceBook group sent me a message asking me to go to his professional page and recommend him. I mean, really? So I explained as diplomatically as I could that I take anything that has my name attached VERY seriously, and that I would find it unethical for me to recommend him based on a casual on-line forum. He said, "okay thanks". This makes me question just how meaningful a 'review' is! Yikes!
It’s so true Nancy. I’m so glad you stood your ground. I keep thinking of your lovely tidy pictures and it’s keeping me going. I’ve barely been home since June though!
@@LiveitlikeLauren It won't take you much longer. The sentimental stuff is the hardest (and photos, which can be the same thing). I'm here if you want Messenger company!
I dated 65 times (exaggerating) before I met my husband and we both said “if this is date is not it; I’m done with the internet” this was 2009!! Internet dating is so hard now. We have now been together for nearly 14 years - it can work but it took time to get there - it might happen Lauren xx
I personally wait until man offers dink , and would no ask so many questions , holding pause will give him chance to talk.. Also would no send message after. He can do that. I will give neutral review . Genuine and punctual guy. But we all different.
Well done you for that reply to him. I always feel if they dont want to get to know you , then why are they dating ? Also what are they hiding ? If they are not asking questions about you then its weird sorry . Kick them to the kerb and move on .
On my first date with my current partner, I complimented his jumper and also said I was nervous and he just did not respond. I nearly binned him off but thank god I didn't because we're engaged now and he's definitely my person ❤
Hello Beautiful :) Thank you for watching!

@@LiveitlikeLauren I found it on Apple Music, I can’t stop listening to it.
I do not miss going on dates, but if I do in the future, I definitely know what I want and don’t want now. Used to people please so much 😅. Glad you told him and you looked so lovely! ❤

Always mixing things up x

LAUGHED SO MANY TIMES OVER YOUR DATING STORY 😂
Oh interesting to see if there will be a second day after all! :) maybe he was nervous?
I think it would have been nice to leave a pleasant review that just stated he was nice enough but you weren’t for each other - he didn’t fancy you and you didn’t fancy him but someone might!
I’m still too wound up 😂
Hi Lauren, good to see you..❤

Heyyy Wafa x
@@LiveitlikeLauren hi 👋🏻
I dated 65 times (exaggerating) before I met my husband and we both said “if this is date is not it; I’m done with the internet” this was 2009!!
Internet dating is so hard now.
We have now been together for nearly 14 years - it can work but it took time to get there - it might happen Lauren xx
Thank you! I’m so happy to hear about your relationship ❤️
dare I say you look happier? also love the date look you had
Thank you so much x
Omg you are so beautiful 😍 your face is made for models. Just like your beautiful mom 💖
All of me is made for models ❤️
So weird seeing you drive past my road in Acton in this vlog Lauren! I’d defo fan girl if I saw you in the wild 😂😂
Acton massive! Was there today too x
14:09 whyyyyy??? I’m so confused
Lollll
Oh dear I should have waited and watched the video longer before posting the second date comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol def not!
I personally wait until man offers dink , and would no ask so many questions , holding pause will give him chance to talk.. Also would no send message after. He can do that. I will give neutral review . Genuine and punctual guy. But we all different.
Hi you seem to due lots of driving with the price of petrol how do you due it?
You look lovely 😊
Seatbelts and my big boobs. Pet hate of mine 🤣
A review? there's a dating app where you can leave reviews 😂 holy smokes
You have inspired me Lauren, I’ve had crap that needed to go for years, it’s gone 👍☺️I almost every day want to stay In bed
I am so proud of you xxx
Intense eye contact, zero chat, didn't pay. BYEEEEEEEE.

My goodness your eyes with all that red suits you. So damn beautyyy
Thank you so much ❤️
Hi Lauren .. no shade here but why do you wear headphones 24/7 😊
I’m always working and listening to music, or editing, or just as comfort
I'm a kiwi. And no offense taken at all 😅😅😅😅
Lolllllll ❤️

What happened to Lauren?🥺
We are still friends
I will go on a date with you lol xxx
You know where the DM’s are 😂
Well done you for that reply to him. I always feel if they dont want to get to know you , then why are they dating ? Also what are they hiding ? If they are not asking questions about you then its weird sorry . Kick them to the kerb and move on .
24:57 no ambition/initiative 🚩🚩🚩

My DM’s are always open xx
😂 you sucking the cap and rimming the bottle
