Welcome! If you're new to the channel, hi, I'm Jessica Kellgren-Fozard. I know, it's

a tricky surname to pronounce. I make videos about life with a chronic illness and disabilities

Like today's video! (which is sponsored by Surfshark)

Today we're going to be studiously ignoring the rising sense of panic we may or may not

- and if you're feeling like you're 'totally over' this entire thing and just don't

care enough to panic any more because you've reached the end of your emotional bandwidth

then that's a completely valid feeling too.

I haven't left my house in over a month with the exception of some fun car journeys

around the neighbourhood and… back to my house. So I thought I'd throw together a

list of things that I've been enjoying and in the comments you can share your own lists

and we'll help each other out by spreading some joy

- wow, sometimes I'm like a parody of myself

Moving swiftly on and in no real order despite the fact that I've put them in numerical

10. Having my best friend around to hang out with every day! I'm a very fortunate human

in that I'm married to my BFF and she lives with me so we get to have fun together every

single day and don't ever have to be in different rooms or more than a meter apart

because she used to go to work and that sucked because we don't really like being away

from each other for more than five minutes and yes that is the most lesbian thing ever.

- but did I mention she's really cool…?

So number 10 is just 'codependency' and I'm okay with that.

I completely poo-poo-ed IGTV when it first came out and there are still many things I

find annoying about it (it still doesn't have integrated captions… why?) but since

lockdown started I've found it much easier to work up the creative juices to make short

- if you're not already following me on Instagram my handle is @jessicaoutofthecloset

I think it's partly because I feel more pressure when it comes to long form video

content like this. I want to talk about the current situation but at the same time I don't,

I just want to carry on as normal, but then wouldn't it be weird to carry on as normal

and not reference anything…? Like the fact that I'm wearing a sling?

I dislocated my shoulder a lot in the last week.

And at the same time, there is just so much going on in my head right now, it's hard

to be creative and have the bandwidth to make things. But also this is my job so I can't

tell my boss that I want to miss one of my twice weekly uploads, even though my boss

is me, but also you, but at the same time creating things makes me happy and gives a

So making cute IGTVs sparks my creativity for longer things like this, which is pretty

8. Watermelon Gloop. I am… not a super make-up obsessed person. I think we all know by now

that my grasp of skincare routines is slim. And I've seen lots of IGTV make up videos

that feature gloop in pipettes and never once wanted to have my own but then Becca Cosmetics

sent me this glow nectar and I am in love.

- Not just because it's sparkly gloop. I swear I do actually have more nuance than

It's really lightweight, it smells delicious and my skin loves it.

Also it means I get to say the word 'gloop' over and over, which is excellent.

7. Grey's Anatomy. Have I mentioned Grey's Anatomy enough in recent videos? Yes? Well

that's okay then because I'm going to talk about Private Practice. Private Practice

is a spin off from Grey's Anatomy featuring Addison Montgomery,

who was a pretty kick ass neonatal surgeon on Grey's Anatomy but then got her own show

Private Practice, where she was also a kick ass neonatal surgeon. That's the kind of

She's one of my favourite characters AND apparently there are a lot of character crossovers

so it's really important that I watch all of Private Practice so it can feed into my

Grey's Anatomy addiction. BUT unfortunately Private Practice ended in 2013 which means

Happily though I have a solution in today's sponsor, Surfshark.

Surfshark is a VPN app and browser extension that allows you to access the internet safely

AND without barriers. A Virtual Private Network encrypts your data when you log on to public

wifi, meaning that hackers can't gain access. It also hides your IP meaning you can set

your location to anywhere in the world and thus watch videos that are available in those

countries but aren't in yours… like Private Practice on American Netflix.

- Because we all need Addison Montgomery in our lives.

You'll also be able to unlock some great content that's here on YouTube, no matter

which device you're watching from because Surfshark's VPN because it's the only

one that lets you use one account across unlimited devices. Meaning I can watch Private Practice

on my phone, my ipad, my laptop AND my desktop!

As great as it is to have access to my favourite TV shows, a VPN also adds an extra layer of

security when you're online: keeping all of your passwords, photos and videos safe.

And it's not just malicious data stealing that you'll be protected from, Surfshark

will also defend you from tracking, surveillance and commercial targeting! No malware, no phishing,

no insecurity when you're online banking, lots of medical related dramas.

6. This Tree. It's a really cool tree. We haven't lived in the new house for 12 months

yet so it's lovely to see the garden going through all of the seasons. Plus the garden

is really important to us when we're on lockdown and our house looks like this

The end of the garden means a lot to us right now and this tree in particular is very special.

I've always wanted to own a tree, particularly one that's older than I am, and this one

is a beauty. I loved sitting in its shade last summer and watching the leaves go brown

in autumn. I waited all winter for it to come back to life and this spring I've learned

that it has blossoms in this funny yellow-y colour.

I would like to put a circular bench under the tree and turn the space behind it into
