Just when we thought lockdown was coming to an end, it manages to claw its way back in for another few weeks.

But while everyone is living in a whirlwind of uncertainty, you can always count on a few things - good TV, good grub and finding new ways to pass the time. 

As we grow closer and closer to getting back to normality, now is the time to sit back, relax and try something new - and luckily for you, we've got it covered.

From a hilarious new reality show, to an at-home knitting kit and food delivery service to make your mouth water, here's what we're loving in August:

What to watch: We Got Love Teyana and Iman

Incoming! Hayu have just the reality show to get you through lockdown; We Got Love Teyana and Iman

Is there anything better than sinking your teeth into a wild reality show about the lives and the rich and the famous? 

Now that Keeping Up With The Kardashians is over, there seems to be a big, gaping hole in our reality TV soul that we never thought could be filled - but luckily, hayu have just the thing.

Enter power couple Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert, and their brand new reality show We Got Love. 

Brand new: Their docu-series offers fans a glimpse inside the lavish lives of the glamorous musician, actress and all-round diva and her NBA legend husband, as they embark on their biggest life challenge to date; raising their daughters Junie, five, and 11-month-old Baby Rue

Their docu-series offers fans a glimpse inside the lavish lives of the glamorous musician, actress and all-round diva and her NBA legend husband, as they embark on their biggest life challenge to date; raising their daughters Junie, five, and 11-month-old Baby Rue.

'Oh my God, here we go with Teyana!' Little Junie is heard saying in the trailer, showing she's just as big of a character as her multi-talented mother. 

You might remember the couple had another show called Teyana and Iman in 2018, but the growth of their family in recent years has added a whole new dimension to the series on hayu.

Expect shock career moves, wild parties, family adventures and the raw reality of the challenges every family faces.  

So strap in, grab the popcorn and get ready for the ultimate bingeing session this lockdown.

What to create: Your very own vegetable garden

She's a fan! Rachael Finch is a huge fan of the Vegepod, which allows you to grow your own vegetable patch in your backyard or on your balcony with ease

If you've watched fitness guru Rachael Finch or Roxy Jacenko's Instagram pages over the last few weeks, you'll know what a Vegepod is.

Green-thumbed Australian's everywhere are going mad for the grow-your-own-vegetable patches - you simply order the raised bed online, set it up in your garden or balcony and watch as your veggies grow in front of your eyes. What an idea!

Ideal for anyone living in an apartment or townhouse, the Vegepods are sold in three different sizes - including $189 for a small, $299 for a medium and $449 for a large.

The pods feature a self watering system so plants can last weeks without watering so it's perfect for amateur gardeners.

Not only does the VegeCover protect produce from wildlife and pests but it creates its own micro-climate to promote rapid growth.

You'll be crafting homegrown salads and soups in no time!

Earth mother! Roxy Jacenko and her children Pixie, eight, and Hunter, five, harvested their Vegepod garden last month
