Congratulations on your new car Erica. I just got my license at 38 on the first try and I’m looking for a car now. It’s better late than never congratulations on your milestone.
Thank you so much, and yes better late than never. Congratulations on getting your license. I hope you find your baby soon 💃🏾☺️🫶🏾
Wow this is an awesome year for you, first the move and now a new car!!! Can't wait to see what else you have in store for this year. Happy Mother's Day 💐
Thank you so much. It’s definitely been an amazing year thus far. I’m so grateful and excited to see what’s next ☺️❤️
CONGRATULATIONS Lady🎉🎉 look at you rolling in style. Woot woot!! Love it. Love how meticulous you are about keeping your stuff in good shape. I'm a firm believer in taking care of your stuff and they will take care of you. There's nothing like a nice clean shiny car. I be so extra proud when I wash my car 😁
I also believe in everything having its time. We just have to be patient and let the Lord do HIS work. You keep doing your part. What's for you will come.
Enjoy your new ride, apartment, and all your BLESSINGS. Happy Mother's Day🤗🤗
Thank you sooo much. Yasss, everything in God’s timing. We just do the work 🙏🏾. I believe in taking care of my stuff as well, especially after working so hard to get the things that I have. I’m grateful for every little thing and treat them as such ☺️
Taking care of my things so they take care of me is definitely a philosophy that I live by. I drive a 2016 Mazda and I treat my baby like it’s a Mercedes Benz (my dream car). I have her detailed 2 to 3 times a year. I bought top of the line tires, I don’t eat in my car & don’t allow anyone to eat in my car. I barely allow folks in my car, lol! My car rides smooth & it’s in excellent condition.
SISSSSS!!! I'm so happy for you!!!! Man this is your year - a new home and now a car????? Come on blessings!!!!! 💕💕 Don't even feel embarrassed about the car wash, I thought they always told you when\how to pull up and put your car in neutral, and I always wait until I'm pushed out before I drive off. So you're right along with the rest of us, lol. Now, you've inspired me to clean my car and get some accessories. 😄😄 Again, congratulations!!!! And I hope Esean is feeling better.❣
Thanks so much sis. I appreciate the love and support 🙏🏾🫶🏾. They was looking at me like they were ready to snatch me out and do it themselves. Even after I explained that it was my first time 😩. But the car wash was fun just like I remember as a kid ☺️
Hi, I’m a new subscriber. Congratulations on your new ride & your new journey. Looking forward to you sharing the blessings to come 💫
Congratulations on the new car!! Have fun getting reacquainted with driving. Don’t let the other drivers intimidate you - they can go around. 😉
Thanks sooo much ☺️. Yup that’s exactly what, I do. Let them go around. Everyone is in such a rush- speeding and being aggressive. I’m not rushing because they want to do 20 over the speed limit 😩
You motivated me seriously im 25 and im like nawl i gotta mines frfr and we literally did the same thing omg i really felt bad but i learnt there plenty of people who young adults but i literally took ubers fir 9 months save 1300 evry minth andbwas able to get what i wanted my first car was exactly what i wanted 328 bmw
💛🙏🏾💛Love When Things Fall Into Place!
Awesome Video!
Congrats on the new car! Especially getting it without the car note! You’ve been making some amazing moves in your life and I’m so happy for you! Can’t wait for the next vlog and happy Mother’s Day!

@@GlamMzMore Yesssssssssssss she nice take yo time so proud of you
Your journey is an inspiration. So happy for you!
Way to go on your first car!
Car wash is fun 🤩 I love when I get my car clean
The car wash really is fun. I can’t wait to go when it’s dark. This car wash lights up different colors and you’re able to see it better at night ☺️
I'm so happy to see all the positive changes that are happening for you! Enjoyed the video...ready for the next. 😊
Thanks so much sis. I appreciate the love and support. Coming soon ☺️
Congratulations on your first car. I’ve been living upstate for about 4 years and I don’t drive but you definitely got me motivated. I’ve got my license and everything lol. So super excited for you. And love the car and how you fixed her up. You go girl. ❤
Thanks so much sis ❤️. Get you a car when you’re ready. You got this. I definitely need a car where I live. There’s no direct bus to anywhere aside from the mall, and I’ve actually never seen the bus so it’s a myth for all I know lol. Besides, I’m happy to be done with public transit after dealing with it in NYC for so long 😅
I live in Westchester county and there is a bus right in front of my complex. Usually my husband drives and the crazy thing is we have two cars lol. I’m just being a procrastinator lol. Again so super happy for you and good luck with everything. I will definitely see you in the next video. You should do a video about how things are going with your car. Just a thought❤️
Enjoy and be safe❤
Congratulations so happy for you friend !! Happy Mother’s Day 🌷
Thank you so much!

Congratulations Babes♥️
I’m So Happy for you❣️
I’m from NYC so, I already know. We have access to trains and buses so, having a vehicle is not really a necessity.
Thanks so much sis ❤️. Yup, you definitely don’t need a car in NYC depending on where you live. I had a train in every direction and a bus stop every other block. Having no parking made the choice not to get a vehicle easy 😅
I'm loving how you are glowing and growing and taking pride in your things stay blessed you are an inspo
Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Glad I can be an inspiration 🫶🏾
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Congratulations 🎉 Very exciting, so happy for you!! Happy Mother's Day!❤

Hey girl I am so proud and happy for you. ❤you are doing your thing ❤may God keep blessing you. Happy Mothers Day. ❤
Thank you so much sis. I hope you had an amazing day 💐. I didn’t realize you could purchase emblems so easily either. Thank goodness you can because my emblems were atrocious 😅. Glad I was able to beautify my baby a bit ☺️❤️

CONGRATULATIONS! This was a great video on how to take care of a vehicle and how you can do a lot of maintenance and save a lot of money. You're so intelligent and independent. Enjoy!
Thank you so much and I’m so glad you enjoyed my video. Thanks for taking the time to comment ☺️🫶🏾
i am happy for you
Thank you!
God Bless you❤️.
Thank you 🙏🏾❤️
Congrats on the purchase of your car. It is best to wash your car with a sponge or chamois. Those things at the car wash will damage the paint.
Thanks so much. The car was filthy and needed to go through the car wash. I don’t have a yard with a hose, and I have fibromyalgia. So doing a deep cleaning by hand regularly is not in my cards. Only maintenance cleaning 😩
I just got my permit and I can’t wait to get my first car and decorate it but let me focus on learning how to drive 😂😂 if you can drive in Ny, you can drive anywhere!! 😂
You should burn the CDs so in case something happens your originals are safe.
All of my CDs are burned to my Apple Music from back in the day when we were allowed to import CDs 😅. You got this. Just practice, practice, practice then practice some more lol. It’s true that if you can drive in NY you can drive anywhere. Just make sure you get some highway driving in as well. It’s different from local driving, and the high speed takes some getting used to 🫶🏾
Congratulations! You be adulting so responsibly! LOL! I loved my BMW it was a very reliable car. Enjoy your new car! You deserve it!
Awww thanks so much lol. I’m loving my new beauty. She drives so smooth. I’m going to take really good care of her ☺️
Happy Belated Mother's Day! You are on a roll. I am so happy for you. Can't wait to see what's next for you
Thanks so much. I appreciate you ☺️❤️
@@GlamMzMore ❤
Congratulations on your new car. You look like a BMW woman.😀👍🏿
Lol why thank you 🫶🏾
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you 🫶🏾
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY 💐💐
Happy for you, sis! Did you name her yet?
Thanks sis. Not yet 😩
Congrats on your new car!! What a blessing to not have to pay a car note!! This has been a fantastic year for you so clear; I can’t wait to see your next victory!!
Thanks sis. Yes, I was adamant about not having a car note. I manifested everything that I’ve achieved this year and I’m so grateful to see it all come to fruition 🙏🏾☺️
Hey Love! I haven't been on here for a minute. Congrats on your move and your new ride. This is just the motivation I need to get back on the toad myself. I'm 45 and I too got my license in my a supa long time ago. I started driving back then but we ended up getting a larger car and I was too scared to drive it. It went from that to fear of having an encounter with the police and I just stopped driving all together. Now that hubby is tired of driving me places I have no choice , I must get behind the wheel and be that independent and confident person I once was. So, my journey starts now. I thank you for sharing this and I wish you all the best. Happy Mother's Day Doll. Peace! Oh and that CD collection is CLASSIC❤
Thanks so much sis. Thanks for stopping in to drop me a note. You got this, just ease right in and keep on practicing. I realized that just like riding a bike, you never forget how to drive. We just have to keep on getting behind the wheel and practicing until we are comfortable and confident, and keep our eye on other drivers. I’d suggest taking a defensive driving course if you haven’t in a while. It’s really good as a refresher and helped me remember a lot of rules I had forgot. You also get a discount on your insurance 🫶🏾
Good morning. Just wanted to say glad you are taking pride in such a classic car. Also, you may want to rethink keeping your registration in your car. I know it seems normal to do, but thieves will use it to show police officer they have a right to drive it because of your registration. I learned the hard way. Can you keep it in your purse and just make a copy for your son to keep. Most registrations, come in two. I know my agency sends two.
Thanks so much ❤️. Registration actually comes in one here, with two parts. A sticker that goes in the window and the other piece to carry. The piece you carry has your name and address. If you report your car stolen that info will be connected to your VIN, so the thieves won’t be able to justify anything when they’re pulled over in a stolen car!
@@GlamMzMore That makes sense. Enjoy your day Glam MzMore
You enjoy your day as well 🫶🏾
Happy Mother’s Day!! ❤🎉😊
Thank you so much. Happy Mother’s Day to you as well (if it applies) 🫶🏾
Happy Late Mothers Day! Congrats on your new ride the 5 series is nice. Life has been good to you. Keep it up with the good vibes stay safe.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it 🙏🏾🤗☺️
Congrats on the new car!
Were you able to keep your NYC job/salary?
Thanks so much!
Congratulations 🚗 owner
Thank you ☺️
She kinda reminds me of Fantasia alil
Happy Mother’s Day! Congratulations! I’m so happy for you! Your happiness and gratefulness is so contagious. I was wondering if you were going to get a car! I keep a plastic file folder in my glove compartment with invoices that pertain to my car, ie oil changes, new tires things like that. I also bought some heavy duty floor mats from Sam’s club set of 4 for $25. Just rinse them off and put on top of the manufactured ones. I added blind spot mirrors to my car, not the round ones but the ones that resemble a triangle. They look like they were made onto the mirror…Amazon. And another purchase from Sam’s was the trunk organizer. It has three slots and one has a cooler that you can take out. It helps keep my car organized, keeps my grocery’s from rolling all over the trunk and keeps items from being in the back seat. You should name your baby Beauty! And don’t forget to add air caps to the tires.
I cannot wait to see what your son gets!❤
Awww thanks so much for the continued support sis, and the tips. I got air caps for the tires and milk crates to keep my trunk organized. I’m still looking for floor mats that I like. But I will definitely be looking into those blind spot mirrors. I need them for the highway. These people drive crazy and be running your sis off the road. I avoid rush hour on the highway at all costs 😅
Why you got all my 💿 CDs
Yassss. I’m so excited to pull out my old CDs 💃🏾
I wonder if you already have Seat covers and floor mats? Do you feel you need the club? Decking out your new car so much fun. Congratulations! Happy Mother's Day!
Thank you so much ❤️. I don’t think I want seat covers. The seats are nice leather and in good condition, I love the look of the interior. I’m still looking for nice floor mats. I don’t think I need the club. I didn’t even realize they still made them 😅
Girl if this ain’t a new chapter I don’t know what is…👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 🎉love how things are unfolding and just know there’s so much more in store! So happy for you ❤ 🙌🏾 All of this and on top of that you have such a sweet and humble personality, its really a joy to watch☺️
Awww thank you for your kind words and support. Everything has been falling into place and I’m so grateful and excited 🙏🏾❤️
Wait now you know you my girl 😂 did you just said you came out of the dollar tree and you're driving a BMW 🤣 I'm happy you have your new baby. I want to wish you a very Happy Mother's Day!
I sure did sis. It’s nearby and a sis is frugal 😅🤣. Thanks so much. I appreciate it! ☺️🫶🏾
Should have been a Honda I had a 2010 650i convertible and it was a money pit be aware!! Hope yours is good….
Catch up with my other videos, and watch my latest vlog… I’m on my third new car- a Honda Accord. Hopefully third time is a charm 😅
@@GlamMzMore oh my bad I’m so behind. But great choice I have a 2dr 2015 Accord and brought her brand new she’s a keeper 🙂👌🏾
Now don’t be embarrassed bc I STILL get nervous going thru an I’ve done it 1000 times 🤣🤣 I love how you take care an pride in your things an not in a materialistic way.. hope that makes sense! Now you just motivated me to get my but up an go clean mine out for the week! Happy Mothers Day❤️✨
Thanks so much. They were looking like they were ready to tell me get out and let us do it 😭
I really do take care of everything I own, no matter how much it costs as I want my things to lasts as long as possible after spending my hard earned money on it. I’m also grateful that I had the ability to purchase, so trust I’m gone take care of it ☺️
In curious, how has it been a year later?
It was a lemon. Watch this video- Third New Car In 3 Months | Life Update VLOG
ua-cam.com/video/YxsQHUsnSEQ/v-deo.html
You should’ve bought a Lexus (Toyota) product or an Acura (Honda Product) they are far more reliable vehicles - because that BMW? That mofokka will stay broken!! BMW’s (BMW = Broke, Mostly Working) are terrible cars. I hope you have a better experience.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Congratulations
