As the days drag on, with one day flowing into the other, we might find ourselves in need of a pick-me-up - or five.
You have scrolled through everyone's pictures on Instagram, LOL-ed without laughing out loud for memes and listened to the same upbeat Spotify playlist...but nothing seems to give you that boost of energy you need to get through the day.
With social distancing and level 4 lockdown in full effect, we spend a lot of time online. However, sometimes this can make your mood worse, so why not use the internet as a way to boost your mood?
