This is a crowd podcast.

Welcome to Go Love Yourself, brought to you by Simply Be, Fashion Fit for Everybody.

Can I just say we have just started recording and we've just been told that we need to be two fistfuls away from the microphone,

which we both did and we're like, oh, hello.

So Lauren.

So Laura.

It's January, the shittiest time of the year.

And yesterday was apparently the most miserable day of the year, which is why we also thought we do a podcast, cheer everyone up a bit,

and make everyone hopefully feel a little bit less shit. How does that sound? Hell, yes, I'm so buzzing.

I normally hate January, but let me tell you, this podcast has made it so much brighter for me,

has cheered me right up. I cannot wait to record this. I cannot wait to share it with everybody.

And I think it's going to cheer everyone up. Oh, same. I'm so excited about it. It's, yeah,

it's going to be amazing. How's your January been so far? How was your Christmas? How's your New Year? Christmas and New Year was good. I feel like the run-up to Christmas was the Hunger Games

dodging COVID. And I think I was the only person in the southeast of England who didn't

manage to get it. I think you were. I don't know you've got this like you're just like this superpower

of like dodging it. I've got it three times. Have you had all of the different variants? I'm

going to write a song about me. You've had OG, Delta and Omicron. Oh my. Yeah. Yeah. I feel a little like a little ditty coming on.

I'm going to leave that with you. Or not for next week, please. But yeah, it was all good, very fun. New Year's was chilled because I don't go out ever. How about you?

Yeah, same. I think Christmas and the year pretty quiet. And yeah, I've spent most of the January so far just trying to like dodge all of the kind

of influencer and diet people ads and all of that bullshit.

Which started earlier than normal this year, didn't it?

It did.
