My husband and I are living out of our car currently while we transition into a new house and it has had me pretty down.. it's easy to feel embarrassed/ashamed about that situation, but your words towards the end of the video to not deny yourself regular niceties like quality face wash or the option of curling your hair really lifted my spirits. We all deserve to treat ourselves like the beautiful humans we are, even in rough times. Thank you so much for this!
I lived in my car for a year after my mom kicked me out when I was 18 :( I had no idea what I was doing it was a mess! But I’m 24 now and I have my own place and I’m grateful for every single thing I have. Although I do have a constant fear I will lose everything somehow lol anxiety sucks
Cass Lowry was in the same boat am 25 now but I didn’t mind it completely some nights were lonely but for the most pet gave me a sense of freedom I needed at the time
I can relate. To calm my fear of being in my car again, I got a Prius I can sleep safely and comfortably...just in case. But I love having a studio apt I can close the door and enjoy my privacy.
Just be a truck driver, you can live in your truck full time. Get paid to travel, it comes with two beds, fridge, microwave, Tv and comes with an APU to run power when you're not driving.
Yes what you say makes sense but your missing the POINT---- these "adults" dont want to WORK but would rather fly there toys and play movie director and beg people to like and subscribe and oh yeah " become a member of my patron team" so basically these " people " in my humble opinion R half baked , not complete and struggle to function in society but most important they have figured out a way to exist w/o having to get out of bed and report to a job every day.
I’m into makeup and skincare so I’ve always noticed your products and I think it’s so awesome that you have those products. I think it shows people have all different sides to them. Just because you love travel and adventure doesn’t mean you can’t be girly and do your hair and put quality products on your skin. I think it’s great that you didn’t give up the other stuff you enjoy just because you decided to travel. You’re making it all work and being genuine to yourself. Anyone who looks down on it needs to worry about their own life instead of judging you. It is great to see you or anyone make their dream a reality. I wear light makeup even when I don’t leave the house. It doesn’t have to be a full face, but I like eyeshadow and lipstick because it just makes me happy when I look in the mirror to see the colors and it is relaxing to me to do the eye look. So I totally agree everyone should do their thing no matter what it is. It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else it just has to make you happy.
"It smells like a salon mixed with Chinese food." I used to work in a department store in a mall, and just outside the front entrance was a salon and a Chinese restaurant right next to each other. I know that smell well. Flashbacks. LOL
ppl to be afraid of when you sleep in a car? the cops. they will fuck with ya.. you know whats scarier? living in a homeless shelter x1000000 because you are sleeping near other people with nothing around to protect you. and those people that sleep near you, can be some of the most vile of human beings. cops still fuck with ya when ya live in a homeless shelter too.
I live in the UK witch very small compared to USA . If lived in the USA I would do the same as you. You are such a positive intelligent and inspiring person and beautiful . Wish you all the best in all you do and stay safe Ste
Hi Katie! I love that u aren't afraid to talk about how to feel better and what helps u. I know u have bad days and u still do vlogs every week. You are so brave! Love it! Also u are beautiful with or without makeup. Love your hair too!
Great talk about taking care of yourself when down on your luck. Not taking care of yourself will lead to or worsen depression. Someone tried to berate me for wearing makeup and dressed up at the laundromat, lol 🤣 ❤️, I was on my way home from work....my point, don't listen to the peanut gallery! Be you.
interesting! I had no idea there was a dress code at the laundromat. People just feel so crappy about themselves, they can't wait to ruin someone else's day. Sorry that happened to you. 💖
I think it is just other people who kind of wish they looked better than they do, and therefore nag on people who do stuff for themselves🙈 I'm lazy, I never do my hair, BUT I found a way to kind of "curl" it while it dries, I just split it in half and take it "up front" (😂) and twist it... And keep doing it every once in a while. I just do it until it dries, and even keep doing it. It's just a habit 🙈 lazy habit though, but it works!
Girl! I live in my car about 5 days a week because I work so far away and rather not commute so much. I thought I was the only crazy one (no offense) but in a good way! I love sleeping in my car. It feels so comfy!
Also, you seem like such a beautiful person, I love your positivity with the simple things like doing your hair. When my depression kicks in it’s so easy to succumb to the rut we feel...but if I Wake up, Get up, and Show up for my own life, even if that means putting on a full face of makeup when I’m not leaving the house or seeing anyone, then that’s what I need to do to make myself feel better. So, I appreciate the things you said! 😇
I love this video! Your message that a person is still worth self care even if their situation is tuff, greatest message! I am guilty of not wanting to do any extras for myself when I’m in a tuff situation and this is a message some need so thank you. Also May I say I am new to your channel and I love that you let us know Jesus loves us. I admire your adventurous spirit and your courage to follow it! Can’t wait for the next video great job!
I could seriously watch a night time in the car settle in video from you every night, I don’t know why but they relax me so much and I love watching yours right before I go to sleep. It looks so cozy! (I like this one too and all your others lol)
18:00 yes! just because you are in a situation (living in car or whatever) doesn't mean you can't take care of yourself... like just because you live in your car doesn't mean you have to look like your homeless (if that makes sense)
What about: come home to a comfortable shower, A/C, heat, snacks in your very own refrigerator, stretching out on a sofa to watch tv, a pet, opening your windows when it is a nice evening, popping popcorn whenever you feel like it, having friends over for a meal, walking around nude, walking down a short hall to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, etc on and on. I would never recommend her lifestyle.
@@summerbreeze3414 You haven't watched her video showing her cleaning and organizing her car. Hers is not a maintenance-free lifestyle. And when she camps, she has much more work than making a bed.
It is, but Katie seems pretty well adjusted to it because she does this as a lifestyle choice. Some of us are doing it as a result of poor choices, what is keeping me sane right now is the belief that I need to go through this to learn and start reasserting my true independence.
As apposed to what ? Paying high rent , sweating at night over paying the mortgage & bills , paying a bunch of taxes , having too much stuff , waiting for the payoff ? Looks kinda freeing...
Ur daily routine vlogs are amazing! Love love love them. I've gotten alot of good tips and DIY'S from watching these type of vlogs. I also give u major credit for being willin to open up and speak freely about mental health. It's super brave to allow yourself to be vulnerable, def admire that. Looking forward to the next vid, stay safe as always Katie.
No clue y I'm enjoying this video so much but I am, i think it's your personality, I watched the getting ready for sleep video and when u said there's no wrong way to eat a Reese's while covering your windows I was hooked. It's the little things!!!!
I’m always so impressed by you and others that are able to live a car/van life. But when I watch morning routines the same thing always crosses my mind: doesn’t she need to pee? Maybe it’s just me, but literally the first thing I do in the morning after turning off my alarm is go across the hall to the bathroom and pee. There is no way I’d be able to undo everything in the car and drive / walk over to the bathroom of the Target or truck stop etc. I feel like my bladder would explode. Maybe I’m just strange and not everyone has to pee immediately it never crosses my mind unless I’m watching these videos. This lifestyle would not be an option for me personally due to health issues, but I think it’s really cool that you get to see the entire country. I’d love to visit every state. When I was a kid I wanted to get an RV and go to every state. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
I have an extremely small bladder so if i have to pee, i gotta go right then and there 🤣 there is no such thing as holding it. Cause if i do that’s a one way ticket to UTI town 🤣 i would love to try living in an RV at least and just travel! But i could never do a car lol
I know what you mean I'm up peeing 4 times a night. Plus I am dead without my morning coffee, I can't do anything without that morning coffee lol I would probably do better in a RV but never a car.
Yup you are definitely the coolest person I’ve ever seen or listened to. Lots of great advice and pointers I’m following while living in my car. You make it look a lot easier than I’m experiencing but hopefully I’ll adjust.
Your an inspiration to me, I'm 51 & God willing will become a traveling nomad in the spring..kids gone & grown, newly separated...I have a beautiful daughter your age , so please stay safe in your surroundings, maybe a self defense course etc..I will be taking one soon...all the very best to you!😍
Are you feeling better? I hope you and your health team have found the answers to your current cycle and you are doing much better! You look beautiful as always! Stay safe on the roads!
Katie it's so hard not to listen to these people...but you are not homeless...if you decide to get a room for a night you can....girl you have it together more than these people that have a rental place...I soooo admire you and I down right call you a good friend.
@my CBD life I know wat u mean man. I was living in a four bedroom house and totally sold it to live in a cupboard in a storage unit. Now I don't have to worry about paying that mortgage off, no more annoying neibhours, no more clutter, just me and my Apple 2011 PowerMAc with a USB charger in the cupboard with LED lighitng charged off a powerbank. The amount of water wasted when flshing a toilet when u can todtally defece into a bucket, cover with sand then your good to go another round if you like! People can't grasp the advantages of living in a cupboard, so closed minded but sometimes you have to respect The Lord and know you're true calling in life.
Wow, just stumbled on this video randomly at 2 am and I wanted to say you're very entertaining to watch, I also love the positivity and when you give full name and brand of everything you use, its very funny hahah! I had to live out of my car for a little bit and I can relate to some of your struggles. Anyways, have fun on your trip! stay safe and I look forward to seeing where you end up! :)
Hi Katie.. Thank you. I have been afraid to travel, but since watching your channel I have gotten more relaxed with traveling. I know that probably sounds weird, but knowing that you go wherever you want and don't worry about anything helps me push out of my fears.
LOVE LIGHT HEALTH AND HAPPINESS. I SAW HOW LONG THIS VIDEO WAS ,AND. I THOUGHT WOW!! ALMOST A HALF HOUR OF KATIE. SO OF COURSE -- I WATCHED IT TWICE. YOU TRULY ARE AN ANGEL LvYa
I lived in my car on and off between 2018 and 2021 and from experience I can’t tell this lady is really living in her car. I really like her….my fav UA-camr
Katie you should try olaplex for your hair! It’s a bond repair. You put it in damp hair and leave it on for a while. I usually do an hour or overnight. It doesn’t take place of your conditioner but it REALLY helps!! You can use it 1-2xs a week. It’s a miracle worker.
I can’t believe I’m here so early. I hope your feeling better, also I feel like you should get like an suv or some thing like a Ford Explorer or Hyundai Tucson
Or a sprinter:) I've seen all of those converter Van's and I've always wanted to try to do that myself :) nd u have more room and can add a kitchen etc in :)
Hi Katie, thank you for sharing one of your routines, I enjoyed seeing how you glam up, love your hair curled up. I agree that when you dress up, it makes you feel better, even if you are only going to the grocery store or not any place that special, it's nice to feel special. You are so pretty and you just made your self even more pretty. Have a beautiful day, hugs!
I am so glad you pointed out the fun or pampering yourself with either fixing your hair or buying semi fancy products. I am sure you like others save money elsewhere to balance things out. You gotta feel loved.
That hand thing that you do (from scene to scene) is my favorite thing you do! If I’m doing my makeup while watching your video or something where I’m not fully looking, if I think you’re about to do it, I drop everything to stop and watch you do it! Lol! No joke I love it! Makes me smile so big!
I’m sorry I re read that and wasn’t to clear, but the hand thing where you put your hand over the camera then pull it away to a different scene. I figured you prolly guessed that but in case! I want you to know you’re such a huge form of support you HAVE NO IDEA
Katie, did you ever try putting your back seat down and making a dedicated sleeping area, with comfy mattress padding, behind one of the front seats (feet towards the hatch)? Love you, Katie!
Im usually good at finding the beauty in suffering, but this just gives me flashbacks to when i lived in my madza tribute, heart of winter with my dog, very unfortunate circumstances.. I had a minimalist mentality by circumstance, not by choice. I always keeped my peace of mind by justifying my position and believing that i was happy, which i genuinely was, but tricking your mind can only last so long. This type of life wears on you. I love having a spacious apartment that i can call my own. To each her own.
I like the way you already put the haters/trolls in their place . Hopefully before they comment. I suffer from depression because I have CRPS and Lupus and sadly had to give up work. There are days I don’t get out of bed except to feed my animals and freshen up. But there are days like you mentioned were you just want to look nice. I don’t curl my hair and I don’t wear makeup during the day anymore, so I won’t do that. However just putting on some nice clothes and actually brushing my hair makes me feel good. I sometimes wish I could just travel etc and live in my car, but I am really tall plus my pain would be much worse. But when your in a positive mood and have access to a bathroom and or have your kind of gadgets then why the heck not. There was a lady who through no fault of her own was homeless on the streets of New York. But every day she put on lipstick, wore nice clothes and she was of a similar mind set, why let your self go because of someone’s else mess up. I believe she now has an apartment. I was one of many that supported her, but I sadly could not believe the trolls and haters that had a go at her for living on the street and wearing lipstick, how sad is that.... Thank you Katie for making me smile again today x
Few reason why i'm about to subscribe and binge watch your videos....1. I seem to randomly be watching these living in a van/car videos 2. This video is awesome. 3. You have a time storm shirt(former NWA champion) and I peeped that All IN badge.....So car videos plus you being a wrestling= A win...nice video
I know I pulled into a Walmart at Kennewick Oregon. In my 43’ Motorhome on my way to Portland. I had never seen that before in Montana by 10 pm the lot was getting full of car dwellers. So this girl is doing what she has to to get by. Housing is stupid priced and gas is reasonable. I am so glad I lived the good life. Always had a home with acreage and never went without food. I pray things change soon.
FOR DRY LIPS get lucas pawpaw ointment from amazon its cheap and amaaaaaazing. comes in a huge tube & can be used for cuts and bites and cuticles and all that stuff too. also the burts bees spray deodorant is my favorite natural deodorant. :) i saw your mental health update video like last week and what you said about going out and living life and traveling even when you dont feel like it really resonated a lot with me and helped me out a lot. thank you for sharing that.
I saw this stuff at Marshalls yesterday and wondered what it was! Dang. Wish I would have known. I might have to go back and see if it’s still there. 😬🤞
Yet another fabulous video with an exceptional message! ❤❤❤ even people in a home aren't always happy or even there by choice and we still have to figure a way to love ourselves 🥰🥰🥰 Love you doll!!
I love how you help us through bad times your advice does help so you know. I am sure you already know, but pat yourself on the back cause you are helping many people... safe travels nancy
How do you not get tickets or harassed by cops for having all that put up in your windows??? Like how does no one call the cops on your for a suspicious vehicle?
She doesn’t get in trouble because she stays in places that are allowed for over night stay for example, like a camp ground she’s allowed to stay there. So that’s why there’s no suspicion 😂👍
I haven't seen any of her other vids, but in this one she slept at a truck stop/rest area where it's legal and "normal." I'd be spooked out sleeping in a walmart or other store parking lot tho
We are all human, everyone deserves to do things for themselves to make them feel good. I work from home and sometimes I will do my hair and makeup mid afternoon (when I’m done with work) even if I’m not going anywhere. It just makes me feel good.
0:50 Perfect! I am a professional! Katie is So funny! Such good advice to do something for yourself even if it is something small! That was awesome when you changed cloths and put your hand up to the camera! It was like magic from Bewitched!
I wouldnt feel safe and I am the type that would get lonely, but you do it well and seems like an adventure for you. Also, looks like your channel is sucessful. Best of luck Katie. Be safe ♥♥♥
I am obsessed with your videos. I just found your channel and I have been binging all morning. Your life is so interesting. I am in a weird place in my life. I admire you.
@@soglam224444 , any truck stop like flying j, pilot, some Walmarts, cracker barrel, or some parking lots, just make sure you feel safe where ever you park, and you can always move location if needed. Also maybe some church parking lots,, God bless you.
I was in my Jeep for a few nights before I found a place and honestly it really wasn't that bad. Showered at the truck stop. Very cheap way to live. I think I could do it full time with a van. Not in my Jeep. Had a PO box for my mail.
I totally noticed a good improvement in how the second hair foam made a difference with how it took your hair from frizzy to healthy looking! I think it worked great honestly! Your so beautiful Katie♡
New to this channel. I love it! Love how much you share and how transparent you are! What do you do for work? Do you have health insurance if you get sick?
I completely agree with you about how important self care is! I love love love beauty products as well, even though I do not wear much makeup, I love to fix my brows, line my eyes, do my hair and make sure that I feel pretty every single day. Love the message you are sending, and I feel it is so important we be true to ourselves as we walk with Jesus in this life.
Stumbled across your videos tonight and i am in love with your channel. My bf is a truck driver and i travel with so i can relate. But i find your channel super interesting. You ever stay at Love's Travel stops? They have laundry services, clean showers, safe place to sleep (no creepers) also i love your faith and that you talk about God in your videos. Thanks again for giving us a window into your world.
What tips do you have to help people make their car homely? I’m seriously considering living in my car or a van. But am struggling with how to ensure it also has some home comforts. As always, thanks for educating, entertaining and inspiring. Much love from a sunny Berkshire in England.
I used to have proper roll up blinds I bought & fitted on some of my earlier cars, a 1.6 Montego, 2.0 MG Montego and Vauxhall Cavalier, but I think for the front screen I just used black bin liners held in place by the wipers & closed the doors on the tucked in ends. Generally I would park so the rear was against a wall etc or use cushions or whatever on the rear shelf. Probably the least roomy car I slept in was my last one--- a Ford KA & I've not tried it yet with my Clio. Katie you're really cute by the way!
Clinical strength deodorant is more expensive, BUT..it lasts longer, and you don’t have to apply everyday, also Vaseline is good for the lips, and wearing sports bras are good for a quick change!! And baby powder is good for keeping your linens fresh, and will help you from sweating at night. Wonderful video by the way!!! Glad I found you!
Yesss! Treat yo self! You know your means and no one has the right to tell you how to live by em! Love your videos! I hope one day I am as brave to step out of my comfort zone and live life on the road to experience all I can:) safe travels and good vibes always💕
You have a very positive attitude. Keep it up. Just rejoice in this day. God has provided your needs for this day (food & shelter, even if it's in the car). Jesus loves you, too.🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for bringing up the self care. I live in my car 5 days out of the week cause of work. No point in wasting money on hotels when i can handle things in other ways. But i just got home from a 13 days stretch and im so happy to see my dog. Shes my love. So when i get free time after work and im missing my dog. Ill got to the humane society's and ask to see dogs who get very little interaction with humans or just need warming up to humans. It helps me feel better and hopefully help some pups get more acclimated with people so they hopefully get adopted. Thanks for your time and be blessed :)

She spoke if that. I think her vid is called scaredy time living in a car or something like that. A bit older vid.
That’s not random haha that’s the most asked question probably

Hi Katie! I love that u aren't afraid to talk about how to feel better and what helps u. I know u have bad days and u still do vlogs every week. You are so brave! Love it! Also u are beautiful with or without makeup. Love your hair too!

The thing I would like about living this way is no landlord, no mortgage, and no putting up with nightmare next door neighbours.
What about: come home to a comfortable shower, A/C, heat, snacks in your very own refrigerator, stretching out on a sofa to watch tv, a pet, opening your windows when it is a nice evening, popping popcorn whenever you feel like it, having friends over for a meal, walking around nude, walking down a short hall to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, etc on and on.

Offering you and your "favorite person Tim" a very happy life together!
I love the fact you travel and are “outdoorsy” but still show you can be cute and feminine and girly while still on the road yas!
Yessssss you get me, babe! ❤️😍😘
I dont live in a car but I look like I live in a car anyone else feel that
Lol. Thats funny.
Relatable😳😂
I dont live in a car but MY car looks like i live in it lol
I dont have sex with my did but I look like I have sex with my dad. Anyone else feel that?
@@Fonzi79 felt that more
I’m always so impressed by you and others that are able to live a car/van life. But when I watch morning routines the same thing always crosses my mind: doesn’t she need to pee? Maybe it’s just me, but literally the first thing I do in the morning after turning off my alarm is go across the hall to the bathroom and pee. There is no way I’d be able to undo everything in the car and drive / walk over to the bathroom of the Target or truck stop etc. I feel like my bladder would explode. Maybe I’m just strange and not everyone has to pee immediately it never crosses my mind unless I’m watching these videos. This lifestyle would not be an option for me personally due to health issues, but I think it’s really cool that you get to see the entire country. I’d love to visit every state. When I was a kid I wanted to get an RV and go to every state. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
I have an extremely small bladder so if i have to pee, i gotta go right then and there 🤣 there is no such thing as holding it. Cause if i do that’s a one way ticket to UTI town 🤣 i would love to try living in an RV at least and just travel! But i could never do a car lol
Also, i have too many mental issues to be able to handle sleeping in a car 🤣 props to her though!
She doesn't drink liquid after 7pm. Plus shes not a mom yet, unlike us , moms, we have that issue.
MSB I’m not a mom and i can go that long without drinking anything and i still gotta pee real bad when i get up 🤣 my bladder is really small though
I know what you mean I'm up peeing 4 times a night. Plus I am dead without my morning coffee, I can't do anything without that morning coffee lol I would probably do better in a RV but never a car.
Yup you are definitely the coolest person I’ve ever seen or listened to. Lots of great advice and pointers I’m following while living in my car. You make it look a lot easier than I’m experiencing but hopefully I’ll adjust.
Yup love being short. We fit in places most don’t. Amen sister 🤗☺️🙌🏼
Your an inspiration to me, I'm 51 & God willing will become a traveling nomad in the spring..kids gone & grown, newly separated...I have a beautiful daughter your age , so please stay safe in your surroundings, maybe a self defense course etc..I will be taking one soon...all the very best to you!😍
❤️❤️❤️ I’m so glad I was recommended your channel! I’ve binged all your videos bc they just put me in the best positive headspace on bad days.
Are you feeling better? I hope you and your health team have found the answers to your current cycle and you are doing much better! You look beautiful as always! Stay safe on the roads!
Katie it's so hard not to listen to these people...but you are not homeless...if you decide to get a room for a night you can....girl you have it together more than these people that have a rental place...I soooo admire you and I down right call you a good friend.
@my CBD life I know wat u mean man. I was living in a four bedroom house and totally sold it to live in a cupboard in a storage unit. Now I don't have to worry about paying that mortgage off, no more annoying neibhours, no more clutter, just me and my Apple 2011 PowerMAc with a USB charger in the cupboard with LED lighitng charged off a powerbank. The amount of water wasted when flshing a toilet when u can todtally defece into a bucket, cover with sand then your good to go another round if you like! People can't grasp the advantages of living in a cupboard, so closed minded but sometimes you have to respect The Lord and know you're true calling in life.
Not sure why you showed up on my feed but I applaud you.
I cannot do it. I pee too much at night LOL
adriana soriano same!
lol same
Why I am building a bus with toilet.
Me too like four times during the night and sometimes I can't get back to sleep. I hate this the doctor just says I have a small bladder.
What are you people drinking before bed? 😅😂
Wow, just stumbled on this video randomly at 2 am and I wanted to say you're very entertaining to watch, I also love the positivity and when you give full name and brand of everything you use, its very funny hahah! I had to live out of my car for a little bit and I can relate to some of your struggles. Anyways, have fun on your trip! stay safe and I look forward to seeing where you end up! :)
I feel like u should upgrade to a van-
Or house
nah van. Always on the go
Van's need more gas
Nahh skoolie gang
toyota Rv are the best of both worlds
Hi Katie.. Thank you. I have been afraid to travel, but since watching your channel I have gotten more relaxed with traveling. I know that probably sounds weird, but knowing that you go wherever you want and don't worry about anything helps me push out of my fears.
❤️❤️❤️
LOVE LIGHT HEALTH
AND HAPPINESS. I SAW HOW LONG THIS VIDEO
WAS ,AND. I THOUGHT
WOW!! ALMOST A HALF
HOUR OF KATIE. SO
OF COURSE -- I WATCHED
IT TWICE. YOU TRULY
ARE AN ANGEL LvYa
I lived in my car on and off between 2018 and 2021 and from experience I can’t tell this lady is really living in her car. I really like her….my fav UA-camr
I'm so glad that I found your channel! You are an inspiration I love watching your videos ❤️
Katie you should try olaplex for your hair! It’s a bond repair. You put it in damp hair and leave it on for a while. I usually do an hour or overnight. It doesn’t take place of your conditioner but it REALLY helps!! You can use it 1-2xs a week. It’s a miracle worker.
I can’t believe I’m here so early. I hope your feeling better, also I feel like you should get like an suv or some thing like a Ford Explorer or Hyundai Tucson
Or a sprinter:) I've seen all of those converter Van's and I've always wanted to try to do that myself :) nd u have more room and can add a kitchen etc in :)
Hi Katie, thank you for sharing one of your routines, I enjoyed seeing how you glam up, love your hair curled up. I agree that when you dress up, it makes you feel better, even if you are only going to the grocery store or not any place that special, it's nice to feel special. You are so pretty and you just made your self even more pretty. Have a beautiful day, hugs!
I love your videos. You inspire me to believe in myself more. Thank you ❤
Great stuff !! My son lives in his truck right now !!
I'm glad you said you're exact height because I'm 5'10 and my mind has been boggled by how you possibly fit but, this makes much more sense now :)
Kimberly Rinehart me too! I’m 5’8 and was wondering the same thing.
I am so glad you pointed out the fun or pampering yourself with either fixing your hair or buying semi fancy products. I am sure you like others save money elsewhere to balance things out. You gotta feel loved.
I live vicariously through you.
Grey Love me too!!!
Love, love, love how u take care of yourself!!...Come visit Michigan!!!
Your face is just so "Beautiful" without any makeup at all!!!! Be Safe and have a Great day!!!!
Johnny Patton perv
@@apsfpv2217 Here's Johnny!!! LMFAO
That hand thing that you do (from scene to scene) is my favorite thing you do! If I’m doing my makeup while watching your video or something where I’m not fully looking, if I think you’re about to do it, I drop everything to stop and watch you do it! Lol! No joke I love it! Makes me smile so big!
❤️❤️❤️
I’m sorry I re read that and wasn’t to clear, but the hand thing where you put your hand over the camera then pull it away to a different scene. I figured you prolly guessed that but in case! I want you to know you’re such a huge form of support you HAVE NO IDEA
Katie, did you ever try putting your back seat down and making a dedicated sleeping area, with comfy mattress padding, behind one of the front seats (feet towards the hatch)? Love you, Katie!
Im usually good at finding the beauty in suffering, but this just gives me flashbacks to when i lived in my madza tribute, heart of winter with my dog, very unfortunate circumstances.. I had a minimalist mentality by circumstance, not by choice. I always keeped my peace of mind by justifying my position and believing that i was happy, which i genuinely was, but tricking your mind can only last so long. This type of life wears on you. I love having a spacious apartment that i can call my own. To each her own.
I like the way you already put the haters/trolls in their place . Hopefully before they comment.
I suffer from depression because I have CRPS and Lupus and sadly had to give up work.
There are days I don’t get out of bed except to feed my animals and freshen up. But there are days like you mentioned were you just want to look nice. I don’t curl my hair and I don’t wear makeup during the day anymore, so I won’t do that. However just putting on some nice clothes and actually brushing my hair makes me feel good. I sometimes wish I could just travel etc and live in my car, but I am really tall plus my pain would be much worse.
But when your in a positive mood and have access to a bathroom and or have your kind of gadgets then why the heck not.
There was a lady who through no fault of her own was homeless on the streets of New York. But every day she put on lipstick, wore nice clothes and she was of a similar mind set, why let your self go because of someone’s else mess up. I believe she now has an apartment. I was one of many that supported her, but I sadly could not believe the trolls and haters that had a go at her for living on the street and wearing lipstick, how sad is that....
Thank you Katie for making me smile again today x
Few reason why i'm about to subscribe and binge watch your videos....1. I seem to randomly be watching these living in a van/car videos 2. This video is awesome. 3. You have a time storm shirt(former NWA champion) and I peeped that All IN badge.....So car videos plus you being a wrestling= A win...nice video
Tin Storm is one of my favorite people in the world!!! (Like, he’s actually one of my friends!)
@@katiecarney see that is even cooler you actual know Tim Storm...sweet
Love the curls! I always think your hair looks great. 😁
I know I pulled into a Walmart at Kennewick Oregon. In my 43’ Motorhome on my way to Portland. I had never seen that before in Montana by 10 pm the lot was getting full of car dwellers. So this girl is doing what she has to to get by. Housing is stupid priced and gas is reasonable. I am so glad I lived the good life. Always had a home with acreage and never went without food. I pray things change soon.
Katie, you make my heart so happy!!! 💕🙂Much much Love to you!!
You're exactly right. If you look good, you feel good...If you feel good...you do good!
I loved your self love speech. God bless you on this journey. Positive vibes to you always.
I totally agree about the making of the bed. It really does set the tone for the day :)
FOR DRY LIPS get lucas pawpaw ointment from amazon its cheap and amaaaaaazing. comes in a huge tube & can be used for cuts and bites and cuticles and all that stuff too. also the burts bees spray deodorant is my favorite natural deodorant. :) i saw your mental health update video like last week and what you said about going out and living life and traveling even when you dont feel like it really resonated a lot with me and helped me out a lot. thank you for sharing that.
Love Lucas pawpaw . Have used it for years. It must be available all around the world 😻🇦🇺
I saw this stuff at Marshalls yesterday and wondered what it was! Dang. Wish I would have known. I might have to go back and see if it’s still there. 😬🤞
Yet another fabulous video with an exceptional message! ❤❤❤ even people in a home aren't always happy or even there by choice and we still have to figure a way to love ourselves 🥰🥰🥰 Love you doll!!
Also, how many miles are on your car now? Also also where do you go if a thunderstorm hits the area your in?
Katie I'm curious too how many miles you are up to ^
Cars are one of the safest places to be in a thunderstorm!
minju blanco Not if there is a tornado
@@minju3492 agree
@@scottievaldez4194 a tornado isnt a thunderstorm. You just drive away from the tornado zone. Pretty simple.
I love how you help us through bad times your advice does help so you know. I am sure you already know, but pat yourself on the back cause you are helping many people... safe travels nancy
How do you not get tickets or harassed by cops for having all that put up in your windows??? Like how does no one call the cops on your for a suspicious vehicle?
lighthouse life i dont understand how shes getting away with this lmfaoooooo
As long as she isn’t driving I don’t see an issue
She doesn’t get in trouble because she stays in places that are allowed for over night stay for example, like a camp ground she’s allowed to stay there. So that’s why there’s no suspicion 😂👍
I haven't seen any of her other vids, but in this one she slept at a truck stop/rest area where it's legal and "normal." I'd be spooked out sleeping in a walmart or other store parking lot tho
That’s what I was thinking. She can’t be sleeping around the way or something.
Valid point!
Do things that make you feel good
Katie, Good to see your morning schedule. Just watch out please, you never know who is watching you. Be safe!
We are all human, everyone deserves to do things for themselves to make them feel good. I work from home and sometimes I will do my hair and makeup mid afternoon (when I’m done with work) even if I’m not going anywhere. It just makes me feel good.
0:50 Perfect! I am a professional! Katie is So funny! Such good advice to do something for yourself even if it is something small! That was awesome when you changed cloths and put your hand up to the camera! It was like magic from Bewitched!
I wouldnt feel safe and I am the type that would get lonely, but you do it well and seems like an adventure for you. Also, looks like your channel is sucessful. Best of luck Katie. Be safe ♥♥♥
I love your videos!! You are very creative and disorganized. The best people are! Look at you, curling your hair in your car!! You are amazing!!
I am obsessed with your videos. I just found your channel and I have been binging all morning. Your life is so interesting. I am in a weird place in my life. I admire you.
I lived in my car for 2 months to save up for my dream apartment... it honestly isn’t hard. You get use to it.
Where can you park the car at night? I need to live in my car for just one month but have no idea where to park for the night
@@soglam224444 , any truck stop like flying j, pilot, some Walmarts, cracker barrel, or some parking lots, just make sure you feel safe where ever you park, and you can always move location if needed. Also maybe some church parking lots,, God bless you.
I was in my Jeep for a few nights before I found a place and honestly it really wasn't that bad. Showered at the truck stop. Very cheap way to live. I think I could do it full time with a van. Not in my Jeep. Had a PO box for my mail.
Grecia Alvarado humans can adapt to anything.
I totally noticed a good improvement in how the second hair foam made a difference with how it took your hair from frizzy to healthy looking! I think it worked great honestly! Your so beautiful Katie♡
Love your videos, Katie! You're an inspiration!
That’s a nice morning routine. Your make up and hair looks really beautiful! Love all of your advice
This shirt fits your hair and skin complexion very well it's so cute ❤
Right!?
New to this channel. I love it! Love how much you share and how transparent you are! What do you do for work? Do you have health insurance if you get sick?
Oh my goodness I would need my morning coffee first before even contemplating half of this! 😁
Me too I can barely speak in the morning without my mug of coffee first thing lol
You act like coffee is important.you're just simply lazy
And a good poo
@@your89romeo If having a career, an apartment, a car, and a coffee maker etc. is simply lazy.. than I'm the laziest mf of all time.
Just drive somewhere where they sell coffee.
You're so naturally pretty!! I love watching your videos for how insightful they are..its nice to see a different outlook. 😊
Hearing Katie say “treat yo self” made this entire vlog
I completely agree with you about how important self care is! I love love love beauty products as well, even though I do not wear much makeup, I love to fix my brows, line my eyes, do my hair and make sure that I feel pretty every single day. Love the message you are sending, and I feel it is so important we be true to ourselves as we walk with Jesus in this life.

You need merch that says “my life looks messier than it is” Because your always referencing it. 💜 ID DEF BUY IT! Much love 🙃
Upside down emoji is a subliminal measege .
Stumbled across your videos tonight and i am in love with your channel. My bf is a truck driver and i travel with so i can relate. But i find your channel super interesting. You ever stay at Love's Travel stops? They have laundry services, clean showers, safe place to sleep (no creepers) also i love your faith and that you talk about God in your videos. Thanks again for giving us a window into your world.
How do you keep your Makeup and other products from getting too hot in the car?
Love your tie dye shirt! :) As always enjoyed watching!
How do you keep your phone charged? (Without killing your bsttery)
The phone has a feature to turn on save mode (something like that)
What tips do you have to help people make their car homely? I’m seriously considering living in my car or a van. But am struggling with how to ensure it also has some home comforts. As always, thanks for educating, entertaining and inspiring. Much love from a sunny Berkshire in England.
She reminds me of Nancy. You know, the mom, on the show Weeds.
Totally agree
Jenna Frazier YAAAAAS
Lol...good one.
That is what I thought when she was putting her makeup on, it dawned on me who she reminded me of.
No not one bit.
I used to have proper roll up blinds I bought & fitted on some of my earlier cars, a 1.6 Montego, 2.0 MG Montego and Vauxhall Cavalier, but I think for the front screen I just used black bin liners held in place by the wipers & closed the doors on the tucked in ends. Generally I would park so the rear was against a wall etc or use cushions or whatever on the rear shelf. Probably the least roomy car I slept in was my last one--- a Ford KA & I've not tried it yet with my Clio. Katie you're really cute by the way!
Clinical strength deodorant is more expensive, BUT..it lasts longer, and you don’t have to apply everyday, also Vaseline is good for the lips, and wearing sports bras are good for a quick change!! And baby powder is good for keeping your linens fresh, and will help you from sweating at night. Wonderful video by the way!!! Glad I found you!
Yesss! Treat yo self! You know your means and no one has the right to tell you how to live by em! Love your videos! I hope one day I am as brave to step out of my comfort zone and live life on the road to experience all I can:) safe travels and good vibes always💕
You have a very positive attitude. Keep it up. Just rejoice in this day. God has provided your needs for this day (food & shelter, even if it's in the car). Jesus loves you, too.🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for bringing up the self care. I live in my car 5 days out of the week cause of work. No point in wasting money on hotels when i can handle things in other ways.
But i just got home from a 13 days stretch and im so happy to see my dog. Shes my love.
So when i get free time after work and im missing my dog. Ill got to the humane society's and ask to see dogs who get very little interaction with humans or just need warming up to humans.
It helps me feel better and hopefully help some pups get more acclimated with people so they hopefully get adopted.
Thanks for your time and be blessed :)
"I don't wear a ton of makeup." "So here's my makeup bag" LOLOLOL
its huge!!
Dead 😂😂👏😂
That's like me lol. Have make up I don't even use.

That vibrancy concealer is everything!
