As we adjust to our new lives in self-isolation, there’s been a huge increase in downloads of the video-sharing app TikTok. Why? Because it’s FUN. You’ll never again wonder how to pass four hours of your day – you’ll just look up from your screen and WHOOPS it’s time for bed. But, addictiveness aside, TikTok really is the perfect way to take a small break from the doom and gloom. Especially when you’re creating your own!
We’ve rounded up a bunch of the best TikTok videos for those of you who might need a little lift right now…
If you need to laugh…
Naturally, huge portions of videos on the app are dedicated to making you cackle. Some of our favourite funny creators are Collin Brientnall, Adam and Quenlin Blackwell, but we’ve chosen a few of our other favourite videos to watch if you need a laugh right now.

If you want to explore the world
Travel is one of the greatest privileges we can experience in our “regular” lives, spreading joy and teaching us valuable lessons as we explore the world. Though we currently sit in self-isolation, we can still venture out into the world virtually – and TikTok is filled with cool videos to inspire your travel plans in the future.
