I always ask the store mgr first. Also, if there aren't many other RVers there, PLEASE don't stay there! I'm a Solo Female RVer in my 70's. I'm in Quartzsite, AZ! Stay Safe! Marie ♥️
Think about finding a hospital with a parking garage. They do have nurses in and out as you know. The security would just think your vehicle belong to an employee. Nurses start arriving at 6:30 pm and leave after 7am.
Love watching you. You are so smart and wise. Some of the other van lifers need to take a page out of your book. You use common sense, and you are proactive in your lifestyle. Continue to be who you are. You're a breath of fresh air 😁
Hi I came across your cite and have loved listening to you, you have a pretty voice , concerning the winter parking for overnight, can you park at a relative parking lot? be careful, God loves you.
Love your channel. Cracker Barrel and Cabela's/Bass Pro Shop are usually friendly to overnight parking. There are apps as well like ioverlander and others that help with free overnight. Harvest host is a membership that offers free camping. The host might ask for a slight donation to purchase items that they sale ex winery or farm etc. Hope this helps
Much respect for letting us in on Your personal Journey. May You always find a good spot, a warm clean shower, and low price for gas. Safe travels sister. 🙏
How would you feel about some leafy houseplants? I think your lovely van would feel so homely with some greenery 🍀. Love your channel btw, I find your energy and personality so calming and inspiring. Sending love from England 🇬🇧❤️
I totally agree with you, get to your spot when it’s dark out and leave before it gets light outside. As a fellow single female, I also never park in isolated areas at night. I also have the same coffee subscription at the gas station. It has improved my morning routine and gives me a bathroom to visit. I enjoyed your video. Liked and subscribed 🙂
When I was a kid we carried water from the spring, two 5 gallon buckets twice a day. Roughly about 160 pounds of weight. We were stout as an ox. 1 gallon of water weighs 8 pounds. 7x8=56, but it’s dead weight. Have a blessed evening.
When moving heavy items in and out of shopping carts I have found it much easier if you set the item across the baby seat/top of the cart., or if it’s in a bag like dog food or rice then I will set it across the corners on the end of the cart . That way you don’t have to lift the weight up and out . Usually the transfer from the cart to the vehicle is an across and down motion. I’m a person with joint issues and trust me it makes a whole world of difference! 😊
The Lowe's parking lot night was scary to me. I would rather blend than single myself out like that. However, you were actually there and could read the vibes of the place.. which is proving to be your super power. 😊 You are inspiring! ❤️ Stay safe!
Hello again from NJ Raining here all day but better than snow. Love the turquoise hat and colorful sweatshirt, it really brightens up your face. FYI I saw on UA-cam a woman living in her van and for water she had 4 separate clear containers tall and slim, each holds like 3 gallons all fit next to each other and each one light enough to set on counter, and to refill. Hope this helps.
I like your curtains, it keeps everything separated. There you go. Warmth in the back of van. Neat. I just love what you feel you need to take care of in life. Admiration.
Your meal looks amazing! Thanks for the tip about the yogurt in the scrambled eggs, I’ve never heard of that before, but I’m going to try it. I’m going to try that entire meal. The addition of the curtains makes the place look more comfy and private, I like it! 👍🏽
Hey! Nice to see you enjoying the van. I hope you keep a handwritten log book that details: Location, date, time In - time out, and rating from 1 to 5 based on what is important for you to feel good about your experience. It should be one line you fill out and something that takes you less than 1 minute to complete per entry. You will find this information interesting, valuable, cost-effective and legally viable in years to come. Appreciate you! Enjoy your day, and can't wait for your next adventure.
I add sour cream to my scrambled eggs. So delicious. I like watching van life videos because I'm an introvert and it looks like a cozy, simple way to live. I'm happily married with a teen son and live in a big house but I still like watching, lol.
You are absolutely gorgeous your skin is so beautiful and I can not believe that you're living inside of a van car whatever and waking up looking this gorgeous props to you sis
Your frequency is so receivable! Don't have to adjust "my tuner" to HEAR you without static or chaos😅 you communicate so clearly & make JOY appear every time you post. ..100% Thank you for taking us with you!! You will never comprehend how meaningful & PRICELESS YOU ARE!! Your sense of style & function are incredible!! Your environment (Cause of your efforts) is STUNNING!
The teal green color looks good on you. Good to see color accenting your great complexion! Yes, security is #1. How about a small green plant or a colorful postcard posted to the wall ? I really enjoy your vlog.
I’m glad I found your channel. I stealth camped for 9 months in 2019, then found a permanent place. I also parked in the dark and left in the dark, so that was a nice confirmation. I look forward to learning more from your videos
I really like your glasses. They look perfect on you....I also noted the more you film, the more confident you seem. I really enjoy and appreciate you sharing your RV life.
Hello Nomad, I am so happy I came across your videos. I’ve been watching for about 2 months now. You are teaching me a lot as I am interested in doing this with my family of 7. I am so excited for your growing YT family. I love our dinner time and I am confident that you are doing everything to keep yourself safe! 🙏🏾
i love this video...when my son 18 n stable im going tiny home n rv ....disabled n all.... n i have to try that egg n rice.... what state are u in .... love the water scenery..... this the 1st video ive someone do real life stuff n back to van...thank u for different perspective
So glad you clarified that your steamy dinner wasn’t too hot. In a previous episode, you ate directly from a stainless steel pot. Be CAREFUL with that! 😂 PS Just made your marinated mushrooms for the THIRD time. It’s become a staple in our house. Yum!!!
The best time to case out parking spots is early morning before everyone leaves for the day. At least by 7am. I found a spot near a large post office. 24 hour grocery stores. A coastal surf spot in a small town has free overnight parking and they charge $8 for all day. You wake up right at the beach. I was new in town and put an ad for overnight spots on Craigslist on the general community section. I got three really good tips. One was at a beautiful marina. I also got great tips for local mechanics that way.
I love your sense of adventure, resourcefulness, organization and awareness of your surroundings. It amazes me how self-contained your van is and you seem to have all the comforts of home.
My 17 year old daughter knows i watch your videos one nite eating dinner she busted out of nowhere and says " Im Sad Its Over" i cracked up It was too funny. You should get some merchandise and or trademark that saying. I need a flag to wave with that saying lol.
One of these days when you know you’ll be out of the van for an allotted time you should set off a bug bomb. Love your content. I do true crime so this is a breath of fresh air for me. I feel like im escaping with you lol
Bahahaha.. I love the description of the spider! I wanted to recommend Velcro strips on the curtain and your van to seal off sides??? Just a thought . Hope you had a blessed thanksgiving!
YOU are inspirational! I have so much admiration for your life skills, your energy, and your appreciation for anything and everything. Nice job on your curtains. Be safe ❤
Thanks for using the "smoked paprika" on your meals. I didn't know some of it was prepared as smoked, but now we have a big bottle on the table down here in Southwest Texas. A little dash gives a nice zip, and my Hubby just loves the taste! We do like our condiments and seasonings to make things more delicious. All the best until next time.
I loved this video and I’ve seen a few others. Great job. I don’t usually comment on people’s posts, but I felt compelled this time. As women (and especially black women) we are super independent, but we mustn’t be hesitant to ask for help. You were at Walmart. Any man would have been happy to help you with that water even if you had to stop someone since you were way down the parking lot. Please keep doing what you do. You’re an inspiration ❤️💜🥰
I found your channel two days ago. You are a courageous person and I like how you are simply enjoying life. I love that you add a mini segment on preparing your food. Keep up the positivity!
I admire the boldness to get out here and live your life the way you want. This is the first video youI have seen and you are very inspiring. Good content and very informational.
I'm so happy you had a positive and safe stealth experience at Lowe's, at one point during the video I found myself sitting on the edge of my couch nervously, as if I was there lol. Also, I feel you on the whole spider situation. I was bitten in the face (my most prized possession) a few nights ago by a spider hiding in my room! I still haven't caught that sucker, needless to say, I've been sleeping in the living room ever since. When I finally find it, it's going to be on and poppin' (literally). Sending you lots of light and love. Stay safe 🤎🤎
I detest bugs, spiders the most. I keep a can of aerosol hairspray, the cheapest I can find, usually, Aquanet, near, and if I miss stomping the sucker and I still see it, I douse it in hairspray cuz as soon as the spray dries, wherever it managed to move to, if will be stiff and die! Never fails.
It’s good that you feel comfortable where you parked for the night. That water jug looks heavy! Your curtains look nice and sturdy, good job! You look like you really enjoyed your meal. Sleep well.
One of the fast food restaurants in my area was really smart and put in a paid water dispenser in their parking lot. They are near the soccer fields . All the soccer teams use it as well as people living in the vans/cars etc… I noticed that my local Walmart now allows over night parking since they are open all night again.
I LOVE your videos!!! FYI- you’re definitely a friend in my head, LOL. I truly enjoy tou bringing us along in your day to day journeys. Your dinners got me wanting to sauté some walnuts and mushrooms. 😊
You can fill your water tank up. When transferring it into your van, park cart flush with entrance of your van then step Up into your van so you are able to bend down to pull/lift up…use your legs for the lift and to carry the weight. It will be heavy from the faucet to the cart😅
We’ve driven cross country in our Travel trailer a few times. We avoid Walmart’s we’ve had so many bad experiences ..kids doing donuts and messing around at night loud and busy. We’ve stuck to rest areas , Cracker Barrel’s and smaller quiet safe areas. I love watching your channel. I’m a mom of and would love to travel full time. Harder with family of 6 but enjoy watching your journey and how you learn and adapt as you go.
Another enjoyed video. Yes your van is really coming along. I really like it. The curtains are really a nice touch. A suggestion, maybe next time you keep just a couple or a few empty bottles and fill them when you feel your big tank. That way you won’t have to rush with getting water out of your big container. I also will be trying that recipe. It looks quick and easy. Continue your marvelous journey. Once again, I really admire you.🙏🏽
Curtains look great, stay safe happy camping. Oh next time you get water remember the front cage on the grocery cart lifts up. I love that you share your journey with us. May God continue to bless you on this path.
Your supper looks lovely. I know how health conscious you are and I don't know if you considered this, but soy is detrimental to women, especially around menopausal ages, as it has high isoflavones. The problem with soy and soy products is that these isoflavones act like estrogen and bind to estrogen receptors in the body. Because of this, it can fuel some breast cancers. A very delicious substitute for soy sauce is Bragg's Liquid Aminos. As for the tofu, Beans, and Legumes, Quinoa, and other plant-based proteins are so much better for you. You get Bragg's Liquid Aminos at Walmart and other grocers.
Many videos back when you purchased that water container and said you were going to sit it on the pull out shelf on your counter, I advised you to check the shelf’s weight capacity first. I didn’t want you to accidentally break it by sitting 58 pounds of water on it. Yep, 58 pounds is heavy when you’re lifting it out of a shopping cart…..do that a few times and you’ll have your upper body workout for the day! And your curtains look very nice and homey.😊
Thank you for letting me be a part of your day. I long to travel like you do. You are in my prayers always. Be safe and know you have brightened my day.
Girl you got me craving that egg recipe! Also, for your water, grab you a hose from Walmart pet department will cost like 3.00 and you can siphon your water out 😊
My friend, You made me laugh with the heavy water jug. It is aggravating when we don't think things like that through. I enjoyed riding along as you scoped out the parking lots.
I go to Walmart once a month a fill up 4 five gallon jugs and I dred it Every month but then I look at them when I get home, I smile. Keep that motivation up and finding the hidden gems 💎 in your van life journey ✨️ 💪 🙏 👌 💯
Im glad to see the curtains. Works great in both hot and cold. Another trick would be to leave ur couch/bed “undone” and make it like a daybed. Saves time each day. U could put away the parts of couch to avoid that task. I got a cute and colorful full size sheet as a duvet like cover and pillows. I also bought a few 1$ water bottles and put them in refrigerator so they are plug and play. Walmart kitchen section.
Omg! Love how the curtains look. The back curtains was a great idea! They say that peppermint oils r peppermint plants actually keeps some bugs and even rodents away. You can google making a natural spray that is safe. Loved having dinner with ya! You seem so much more relaxed on camera now! Loving it!
Keep the faith, sister, and keep posting these videos. My next stop is a Van like yours, self-contained, Bath and Kitchen both, so I can park someplace secluded, lock the doors, and not have to hike across a Truck Stop parking lot when I have to pee at 2:00 in the morning. You inspire us all!
At the PF in my town (Nor Cal), a security guard drives through constantly with his flashing lights going. I don’t think they would allow it, but it’s located in the mall so that might make a difference.
I really like watching you so much. You are really brave, and if I could go back about 30 years I'd follow right in your foot steps. Keep going, stay warm, be safe but most of all be bless.
You should consider a small dollie to give you that little help you need from time to time. Love your videos. My husband and I have a fifth wheel and love to camp. I admire you being able to do everything on your own. Keep it up and be safe. Most of all have fun!!!
You are looking fantastic woman it's so great how God came in and helped you with the curtains color size!! You are such a blessing to others you certainly are being blessed back!!
Loving the curtains your space is looking great! and glad (not surprised ) that you have upped your security as that IS the number one priority. Just thought that I would share with you that other Van Life channel that I watch said after 8 years of living this life style he has never gotten the "knock" because he sleeps in places that are open 24 hours and mentioned the gym as one of his spots when he is not in a camping spot.
@@shirleyhurst2233 Unfortunately that exact situation happened to her a few videos back. It was totally ridiculous. The video was titled "I Got The Knock".
You take great pride in your home. The curtains look FABULOUS! I really like that charcoal color. Planning ahead as you have been will only benefit you in the long run. Love this channel!
yeah i hate carrying the 5 galloon water i cant imagine how heavy the 7 gallon would be 😩 .. just the peacefulness when you cook i love .. stay safe 🙏🏼
If you had casinos nearby you could park there overnight because they are open 24/7. Thanks for including us in your journey
Ooh good point. Michigan has casinos in various parts of the state🎰
Great suggestion!
That’s an amazing idea I hope she looks at that idea they never bother you in there🎉
Plus good buffets !! Lol
Cracker Barrel and Walmart
U R by far the neatest, tidiest, cleaniest van dweller I've ever seen on YT. 👏 👏
I always ask the store mgr first. Also, if there aren't many other RVers there, PLEASE don't stay there! I'm a Solo Female RVer in my 70's. I'm in Quartzsite, AZ! Stay Safe! Marie ♥️
Think about finding a hospital with a parking garage. They do have nurses in and out as you know. The security would just think your vehicle belong to an employee. Nurses start arriving at 6:30 pm and leave after 7am.
My cousin does that; she’s a travel nurse
Your van is looking more like a cozy little apartment. Little touches like those curtains really does make a difference.
Love watching you. You are so smart and wise. Some of the other van lifers need to take a page out of your book. You use common sense, and you are proactive in your lifestyle. Continue to be who you are. You're a breath of fresh air 😁
Exactly my thoughts.
Which other van lifers do you watch?
All of the van lifers I have watched are very wise, and very intelligent
I am so loving your peppy energy - and those curtains! May the force of the painter’s tape keep all critters out!!
Hi I came across your cite and have loved listening to you, you have a pretty voice , concerning the winter parking for overnight, can you park at a relative parking lot? be careful, God loves you.
Hello can you please tell what made to decide to live in a van.
Love your channel. Cracker Barrel and Cabela's/Bass Pro Shop are usually friendly to overnight parking. There are apps as well like ioverlander and others that help with free overnight. Harvest host is a membership that offers free camping. The host might ask for a slight donation to purchase items that they sale ex winery or farm etc. Hope this helps
I find so much solace watching you.
Much respect for letting us in on Your personal Journey. May You always find a good spot, a warm clean shower, and low price for gas. Safe travels sister. 🙏
You go girl, be careful be safe and we love you…
It's so nice that you can cook and not have to eat out every day.
How would you feel about some leafy houseplants? I think your lovely van would feel so homely with some greenery 🍀.
Love your channel btw, I find your energy and personality so calming and inspiring.
Sending love from England 🇬🇧❤️
Hmm is there room tho? I would want less stuff in my rv/van if i had one.
Most shopping carts open underneath the handle, making it easier to slide heavier things out instead of lifting it over. 😊✌🏼🙋♀️
Wow, didn’t know that. Thanks for that tip
Glad you think about these situations as to where your spending each night. We all want you safe young lady.
Yes indeed 🙏🏽☮️❤️
I totally agree with you, get to your spot when it’s dark out and leave before it gets light outside. As a fellow single female, I also never park in isolated areas at night. I also have the same coffee subscription at the gas station. It has improved my morning routine and gives me a bathroom to visit. I enjoyed your video. Liked and subscribed 🙂
Love how you are fixing up your van to suit your needs! So glad you are keeping safe! Prayers for you on your journey!!
When I was a kid we carried water from the spring, two 5 gallon buckets twice a day. Roughly about 160 pounds of weight. We were stout as an ox.
1 gallon of water weighs 8 pounds. 7x8=56, but it’s dead weight.
Have a blessed evening.
When moving heavy items in and out of shopping carts I have found it much easier if you set the item across the baby seat/top of the cart., or if it’s in a bag like dog food or rice then I will set it across the corners on the end of the cart . That way you don’t have to lift the weight up and out . Usually the transfer from the cart to the vehicle is an across and down motion. I’m a person with joint issues and trust me it makes a whole world of difference! 😊
The Lowe's parking lot night was scary to me. I would rather blend than single myself out like that. However, you were actually there and could read the vibes of the place.. which is proving to be your super power. 😊 You are inspiring! ❤️ Stay safe!
Hello again from NJ
Raining here all day but better than snow.
Love the turquoise hat and colorful sweatshirt, it really brightens up your face.
FYI I saw on UA-cam a woman living in her van and for water she had 4 separate clear containers tall and slim, each holds like 3 gallons all fit next to each other and each one light enough to set on counter, and to refill.
Hope this helps.
I like your curtains, it keeps everything separated. There you go. Warmth in the back of van. Neat. I just love what you feel you need to take care of in life. Admiration.
I love how cozy you have made your home! The curtains are great!
The curtains definitely make the van look a lot more homey. Nicely done.
Your meal looks amazing! Thanks for the tip about the yogurt in the scrambled eggs, I’ve never heard of that before, but I’m going to try it. I’m going to try that entire meal.
The addition of the curtains makes the place look more comfy and private, I like it! 👍🏽
Looks good
Hey! Nice to see you enjoying the van. I hope you keep a handwritten log book that details: Location, date, time In - time out, and rating from 1 to 5 based on what is important for you to feel good about your experience. It should be one line you fill out and something that takes you less than 1 minute to complete per entry. You will find this information interesting, valuable, cost-effective and legally viable in years to come. Appreciate you! Enjoy your day, and can't wait for your next adventure.
You are so brave!
You're curtains look very nice. Prayering that God will continue to keep you covered while on your journey 🙏🏽 ✨️
I add sour cream to my scrambled eggs. So delicious. I like watching van life videos because I'm an introvert and it looks like a cozy, simple way to live. I'm happily married with a teen son and live in a big house but I still like watching, lol.
Yes, your van looks so nice!😊
The curtains really make it look cozy.😊
Over the road (48 states) truckers have curtains like that in their tractors and they do provide a bit of insulation for the bunk area.
You are absolutely gorgeous your skin is so beautiful and I can not believe that you're living inside of a van car whatever and waking up looking this gorgeous props to you sis
Your frequency is so receivable! Don't have to adjust "my tuner" to HEAR you without static or chaos😅 you communicate so clearly & make JOY appear every time you post. ..100%

Your sense of style & function are incredible!! Your environment (Cause of your efforts) is STUNNING!

I like watching people camping in the woods and snow , sleeping in their Van but what comes to mind is safety at some of these locations
I agree on sleeping in different areas, this would be helpful to others who are looking for safe overnight location.
Reppin new york I hope everyone have a great day today and thank "Nomadic" for the video.
How are you so effortlessly amazing Nomad? Thank you for this channel.

Happy Sunday from sunny Arizona!🌵🌞🌵 Your van is immaculate, very nice, but cozy, too. Great video..Have a great week!!
My 17 year old daughter knows i watch your videos one nite eating dinner she busted out of nowhere and says " Im Sad Its Over" i cracked up It was too funny. You should get some merchandise and or trademark that saying. I need a flag to wave with that saying lol.
Woooo, very adventurous
Its always the short, cute & huggable people that don't want to be bothered with people🤣😆
It’s good to see you a bit more relaxed and enjoying everything 😊
Your van is so freaking nice! It’s nice and bright! I love the layout! 👍🏽
Your van is nice not so much clutter very clean and your personality very friendly
One of these days when you know you’ll be out of the van for an allotted time you should set off a bug bomb. Love your content. I do true crime so this is a breath of fresh air for me. I feel like im escaping with you lol
I wish we had a coffee subscription in my area. I love the park you were at today very beautiful. Stay safe ~ Sabrina ~
Bahahaha.. I love the description of the spider! I wanted to recommend Velcro strips on the curtain and your van to seal off sides??? Just a thought . Hope you had a blessed thanksgiving!

Smoked paprika is also great in soups...don't use a lot
Your channel is growing! Congratulations. 51 is cold. I love your glasses. Your tips are noted. Coffee.
I loved this video and I’ve seen a few others. Great job. I don’t usually comment on people’s posts, but I felt compelled this time. As women (and especially black women) we are super independent, but we mustn’t be hesitant to ask for help. You were at Walmart.

I admire the boldness to get out here and live your life the way you want. This is the first video youI have seen and you are very inspiring. Good content and very informational.
Just found your channel and I am enjoying your content. Take care.
I like the challenges, the goods, the up and downs, the great day, the relaxing day, etc of VanLife. I love watching your videos.
Yaaassss! I’m so invested in your journey. I watch your videos multiple times a day. Thank you for bringing us along.
I'm so happy you had a positive and safe stealth experience at Lowe's, at one point during the video I found myself sitting on the edge of my couch nervously, as if I was there lol. Also, I feel you on the whole spider situation. I was bitten in the face (my most prized possession) a few nights ago by a spider hiding in my room!

I truly admire your spirit & determination. Just love your lifestyle & the efficient, cozy set up of your home on wheels. Thank you for posting. 😊👍
It’s good that you feel comfortable where you parked for the night. That water jug looks heavy! Your curtains look nice and sturdy, good job! You look like you really enjoyed your meal. Sleep well.
One of the fast food restaurants in my area was really smart and put in a paid water dispenser in their parking lot. They are near the soccer fields . All the soccer teams use it as well as people living in the vans/cars etc… I noticed that my local Walmart now allows over night parking since they are open all night again.
"I'm sad, it's over" So Cute!🥰😊😘
I LOVE your videos!!! FYI- you’re definitely a friend in my head, LOL. I truly enjoy tou bringing us along in your day to day journeys. Your dinners got me wanting to sauté some walnuts and mushrooms. 😊

Be safe!

I also will be trying that recipe. It looks quick and easy. Continue your marvelous journey. Once again, I really admire you.🙏🏽
Comment on the fly....loving the curtains and the coffee is a great deal. Still watching. U are living my dream.
Curtains look great, stay safe happy camping. Oh next time you get water remember the front cage on the grocery cart lifts up. I love that you share your journey with us. May God continue to bless you on this path.
I just stumbled on your sight! Your van is beautiful! I love the bright colors!!! It is simply GORGEOUS!
Your supper looks lovely. I know how health conscious you are and I don't know if you considered this, but soy is detrimental to women, especially around menopausal ages, as it has high isoflavones.

A very delicious substitute for soy sauce is Bragg's Liquid Aminos. As for the tofu, Beans, and Legumes, Quinoa, and other plant-based proteins are so much better for you. You get Bragg's Liquid Aminos at Walmart and other grocers.
Many videos back when you purchased that water container and said you were going to sit it on the pull out shelf on your counter, I advised you to check the shelf’s weight capacity first. I didn’t want you to accidentally break it by sitting 58 pounds of water on it. Yep, 58 pounds is heavy when you’re lifting it out of a shopping cart…..do that a few times and you’ll have your upper body workout for the day! And your curtains look very nice and homey.😊
I saw that comment about the greek yogurt in the eggs. First thing I thought of when I saw you add it. I will give it a try.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your day. I long to travel like you do. You are in my prayers always. Be safe and know you have brightened my day.
Girl you got me craving that egg recipe! Also, for your water, grab you a hose from Walmart pet department will cost like 3.00 and you can siphon your water out 😊
My friend, You made me laugh with the heavy water jug. It is aggravating when we don't think things like that through. I enjoyed riding along as you scoped out the parking lots.
Love your van and your set up!
I go to Walmart once a month a fill up 4 five gallon jugs and I dred it Every month but then I look at them when I get home, I smile. Keep that motivation up and finding the hidden gems 💎 in your van life journey ✨️ 💪 🙏 👌 💯
Im glad to see the curtains. Works great in both hot and cold. Another trick would be to leave ur couch/bed “undone” and make it like a daybed. Saves time each day. U could put away the parts of couch to avoid that task. I got a cute and colorful full size sheet as a duvet like cover and pillows.
I also bought a few 1$ water bottles and put them in refrigerator so they are plug and play. Walmart kitchen section.
I love this video. Some IRL and errands and your upbeat attitude is so cool. Lol love your van . . . ✌🏼💚that water jug 😅you're funny a h.
Omg! Love how the curtains look. The back curtains was a great idea! They say that peppermint oils r peppermint plants actually keeps some bugs and even rodents away. You can google making a natural spray that is safe. Loved having dinner with ya! You seem so much more relaxed on camera now! Loving it!
Your slimming down. Great job.
Keep the faith, sister, and keep posting these videos. My next stop is a Van like yours, self-contained, Bath and Kitchen both, so I can park someplace secluded, lock the doors, and not have to hike across a Truck Stop parking lot when I have to pee at 2:00 in the morning. You inspire us all!
I love how you're comfortable with your own company.
I love watching your videos. I wish they were longer. You have such a calming spirit about you.. A breath of fresh air. Blessings to you.
Yes, the curtains make it look real cozy. One thought, speaking of parking. Could u overnight at the gym ?
At the PF in my town (Nor Cal), a security guard drives through constantly with his flashing lights going. I don’t think they would allow it, but it’s located in the mall so that might make a difference.
I really like watching you so much. You are really brave, and if I could go back about 30 years I'd follow right in your foot steps. Keep going, stay warm, be safe but most of all be bless.
You should consider a small dollie to give you that little help you need from time to time. Love your videos. My husband and I have a fifth wheel and love to camp. I admire you being able to do everything on your own. Keep it up and be safe. Most of all have fun!!!
I absolutely loooove your videos, they literally calm me im doing my night skincare routine as I’m watching this video. ❤
You are looking fantastic woman it's so great how God came in and helped you with the curtains color size!! You are such a blessing to others you certainly are being blessed back!!
Loving the curtains your space is looking great! and glad (not surprised ) that you have upped your security as that IS the number one priority. Just thought that I would share with you that other Van Life channel that I watch said after 8 years of living this life style he has never gotten the "knock" because he sleeps in places that are open 24 hours and mentioned the gym as one of his spots when he is not in a camping spot.
@From Amy’s Closet why would there even be a knock at a rest area? Makes zero sense.
@@shirleyhurst2233 Unfortunately that exact situation happened to her a few videos back. It was totally ridiculous. The video was titled "I Got The Knock".
You take great pride in your home. The curtains look FABULOUS! I really like that charcoal color. Planning ahead as you have been will only benefit you in the long run. Love this channel!
yeah i hate carrying the 5 galloon water i cant imagine how heavy the 7 gallon would be 😩 .. just the peacefulness when you cook i love .. stay safe 🙏🏼
Your van looks so cozy, I would live in it, beats paying a lot in rent.
