Getting back into 'grind mode' after spending the last several months traveling has my body angry at me! That self-care day was much needed. I hope to make days like this a constant in my life. Also, I'm still dreaming about that Flower Child meal, lol! Hope you enjoyed the video. Take care ❤
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I don't comment every video but I watch Every video. You are so inspiring and I LOVE YOUR OFF/REST DAY OF JUST PLEASING MONIQUE ❤ SELF CARE♥️ PEACE OF MIND♥️ NO WORRIES! ...... I'm here on my off day with a toothache, but I can tell you your video is bringing me LIFE! SUCH A BREATH OF FRESH AIR! ❤
Thank you so much ❤️❤️. I hope you feel better soon. Toothaches are the worst.
Monique, of all the vlogs I watch, I have to say that you are my favorite. You're intelligent, hard working, and so beautiful. I love your soothing voice. I resonate with so many things you discuss. Keep going lovely lady, I think you're amazing.
Thank you so much ❤️
What a beautiful comment and I totally agree.❤
Planet Fitness is all over the place, $25 for complete package...and you can charge your powerpacks. Usually they are in super convenient locations to stores and laundry...hot showers are the best
They are great the the annual fee every two months kills the idea but if we stay in our car saving money so I guess it’s not so bad
I love your videos. This is your soft life. Your completed your education, worked hard and now it's time to relax and enjoy great food and plan your next steps. Honestly you should think about public speaking. Your voice is so smooth and 36:02 serene. Keep on Keeping on
I agree; this is my soft life. For the longest, I've had a hard time allowing myself to live a softer life, but it's slowly becoming natural to me and I'm loving it 😊.
Monique I am a new viewer and I am just blown away by you.....really enjoying watching you cooking your meals, running your errands, and dealing with different people...super....will definitely continue watching....Take care of yourself out there
Thank you
"feeling emotional about my life" this part of the video hit home for me and I can completely 1,000% relate...New subscriber ♥
Thank you for subscribing ❤️
Much respect for your wisdom and ability to pick your battles and paying that late fee even though you weren't late. Next time I'm in a similar situation hopefully I will think of your example instead of freaking out
your videos are relaxing and inspirational. i would love to live in a van but bc of where i live that would be extremely dangerous so i live vicariously thru a select few youtubers such as yourself. i love that you take a whole day off to relax and not even worry about making "progress" bc that is so stressful. i am a Sabbath keeping christian so for me, that selfcare is Sabbath (saturda) where i focus on my relationship with God and not do anything related to work or study or worry about anything.
I remember learning about Sabbath christians and Jewish people, after making friends who grew up in those faiths, and thought it was so wonderful that they spend one day every single week removing themselves from the noise of society to focus on God. Beautiful!
Thanks for the entertaining and informative video.
You're very welcome, and thank you so much for this Super Thanks ❤️. It is tremendously appreciated.
A good cheap combo: Soy sauce (just a lil bit) and nutritional yeast. Add it to some just-fried-tofu and it tastes so good. Reminds me of chicken somewhat
Oooh, thanks for the suggestion. Can't wait to try that!
A do-nothing rest day is so important. I drive truck OTR, and I watch a lot of full-time van and RV-life videos. Yours was in my feed this evening and I was like, "I am her and she is me!" 😅 I'm the same way about certain foods. I just stop keeping them in my truck (which is a hybrid truck/RV), otherwise, I'll binge eat them. I just bought a box of Girl Scout cookies yesterday as a treat, and finished them off earlier today, 🤦🏾♀️so I get it. My weekly grocery budget is $75, as well, and it really does go fast, especially when eating healthy. I also have a small storage unit that I need to get rid of, but I'm rarely home long enough to mess around with it. It'll happen soon enough because, like you said, that money could definitely be going to something more important. 😅 I truly enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing and stay safe out there! 😊
Yea, you'll get rid of that unit soon enough. I'd been wanting to get rid of mine for so long, but the timing was never right until now. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you ❤️
Thanks!
No, thank YOU ❤️!! I really appreciate it.
I do the same with peanut butter! I don’t have things I don’t want to eat but love it in my house. Period ❤
Awesome content 🎉
Definitely get it in writing.
Love your video, stay safe sister!!
Just live, be happy with no worries Monique; that $40 will come back to you probably double fold; enjoy life
I love banana and powdered pb shakes too! I add some cinnamon aswell. That storage unit late fees sounded so sneaky. Paper and email proof was a good idea 👍🏽
I’m so happy for you, I’m working toward that life
The mushroom Bolognese from Flower Child looked amazing!!😍 Thoroughly enjoyed the video 🙏🏽☺️
I totally understand what you mean about having a day off and seeing people eating lunch at restaurants walking their dogs shopping whatever. I was an elementary school teacher and I always wondered how those people were able to do that! And I wanted to do that! So glad you are able to live for you!✌🏼❤️
Thank you ❤️.
Great to get rid of that storage cost and worry. As my mother used to say, you're "one smart cookie" ! Love how you use natural products and processes. Another awesome video! 👍😎💫🇨🇦 P.S. Self care and self love is everything...🌸
Sweet and beautiful peaceful day in your lovely home. So glad you let yourself enjoy special somethings
Whatever you cook sounds yummy
Love to see you try to recreate your own version of the mushroom bolognese!
Ice cream is My once in a while treat.
What they call pints are not 16 oz
$5.00 is the price that they charge me.
Be Well MY Sister.
Mack
Thanks for sharing your life and insights with us. I really enjoy your channel.
Also, when you posted your "concentration face" while driving all i could thinknwas Wow she is beautiful! Natural beauty and glowing skin 😊
Thank you ❤️
I'm so glad I recently found your channel and very happy for you in you getting to your sweet spot in life ❤
You finally chose yourself. I am on that journey too as well. ❤
Life is about motion and rest. I’m glad that is a part of who you are. 😊
I’ve watched quite a few of your videos… I admire your freedom and openness! I have been considering doing the very same thing and in searching through videos I came across yours. I am glad that I did! 🙌🏽
Never even considered air frying tofu, but thanks to you I’m gonna try it now. 😊 That Flower Child food looked delicious!
Yep the storage here in Atlanta is the same way😊 9:45
I live in my car and just started my RUclips channel and get emotional as well. But I think it’s good to feel! Keep up the good work ✨
Hi Monique. You just gave me another dinner idea. Thanks for sharing. Creamy dijon. yuuuum
I find your videos to be so refreshing. Keep up the good work ❤
Yay!! Team natural hair.... I use clays to wash my hair and herbal oil infusions to condition. I use gel to style
You are very brave and focus. Keep up this mindset. Also could you please link a similar freezer bag, and bamboo cloth. The one in your description is no longer available. Thanks
Thank you very much. These are the swedish dish cloths amzn.to/49GFVq3 and these are the freezer bags amzn.to/3In2Hrb
I enjoy your vidz. Thanks for sharing. 😊. You inspire me. Treat yourself sometimes, honey. You deserve it! 💕
I enjoyed every moment of this video. It's so calming and peaceful. 😴
The best smoothie is peanut butter, cocao powder, and bananas with homemade hemp milk.
OMG you're just like me I cannot be around peanut butter whenever I get one jar that jar is gone in a day
That is my fave brand of jam as well! (I'm a marmalade girl) I hear you on the peanut butter. For me it's red wine and good sourdough. Can't have it around :)
I’m the same way with certain foods. I LOVE the Daiya cheesecake and will eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner= gone in one day.
Your channel is fab❤️🇦🇺
Thank you 😊
Good job on getting rid of the storage unit. I paid for over a year. I moved and my stuff was in another state. I never accessed it and it was easier to just pay then go empty it. lol I did eventually rent a uhaul and I drove it home on my birthday all by myself but I knew I would be saving $100.00 per month. I considered it a gift to myself.
Now I want to try that dish and restaurant is nearby, whoohoo, thanks for tip😋
Woohoo! Hope you like it.
You deserve a rest day to pamper and treat yourself good. And you picked the perfect day, it started out nice and then rained. I love it.
Thank you 😊. I loooove when it rains on days when I'm staying in and relaxing.
Hi Monique, Your vlogs just like you are awesome. Your narrative skills and cold demeanor is to die for. Thank you
Thank you 😊
I love the Melanin products. I was gonna suggest Kinky Kurly products but I see you already use them. I’ve loved
them now for over a decade.😀
Hey Monique!
Loving your vids. Rooting for ya from korea.
Thank you 😊
Sister, I so enjoy my visits with your encouraging blog. Do stay safe and take care. Look forward to your next blog.
Thank you ❤️
I just subscribe to your channel. You're very inspiring and you'll achieved everything that you aspire to achieve. Love from Jamaica.
Thank you so much ❤️
Thanks for talking about binge eating your favorite foods. I binge eat lollipops.
I’m a peanut butter addict as well. I love mixing my plain vegan yogurt with peanut butter, bananas, and unsalted mixed nuts. I swear it’s like peanut butter cheesecake. On a good day I tossed a couple of dark chocolate chips in there. 😊😊
I’m trying this!!! Thank you 😋
Congratulations on your Rest Day. It is important. I had a hard time taking time for me. Now I take 2 days for myself. Wednesdays and Sundays. It is necessary. I deserve to treat myself well and so do you. $40 is money well spent. You can trust yourself. I am happy for you. Bye now. You are a treat.
I’m working towards that lifestyle 😊
You can do it 😊
Hopefully you can get your land soon 🙏🏾❤️🩹
Thank you ❤️! I hope so, too.
Hi from New Zealand! Love your videos thank you 😊😊
Hi and thank you!!
😀@@simmpleenough
I know what you mean about not having certain foods around and in the vicinity of where to find it. It's BBQ potato chips with me I recently went on a week vacation. Days later I found a grocery receipt in my car that I knew wasn't mine because I just don't eat those kinds of decadent and delicious foods. Then I recalled my trip. Everything from chocolate bars and chips to Pepperidge farms frozen cakes was on the list! I don't know what I was thinking but I remembered it sure was good😊
lol!! Trust me, I get it.
You are so pretty! Big eyes, high cheekbones, pretty nose and lips, gorgeous skin
Thank you 😊
Ima trying the mashroom bolognese tomorrow just from the way kept recommending it and its my first time going the flower child
Yaay! I hope you like it.
I’m so glad you got a Monique day! You inspire me to eat healthier…I’m glad you commented about the PB2, I was going to try it. I’ll need to give up PB first thanks for the tip!
Can I also say how absolutely beautiful you are, inside and out! Thank you for sharing your life with us 😁
Thank you so much 😊❤️.
Man i miss van life but im working as a substitute trying 😢o save
Fall River MA they are Never around.
That's so funny I stopped buying PB for the same reason as well..... but I did recently find peanut butter in single serve packs by Justin's so I only buy a couple at a time.. soooooooo 😋
lol, I've seen those. I might try that.
Yes, when I used Public Storage there was hardly any employees. When I was with Storage Mart though they were always on premises.
Yea, I don't know what's up with public storage employees. It's ridiculous.
Hi 👋 Monique. Missed you!!
Hi ❤️
I am the same way! I loved junk food chips, and sweets and now I just don’t buy it unless I’m mentally prepared to eat it all in one sitting.
Hello Monique, sweetie, so good to see you, and this is a much longer video, I realize😊😊.
Today, I am on time for my favorite Sunday video. I'm still busy around the house, but today, I've decided to complete my house chores at a much slower pace, especially since I'm just getting back some energy🙏
Man, this video was lovely, especially the food part 😅, Luckily, I was having a bite to eat while watching, so it wasn't so torturous 😅.
I'm so happy for you, Monique. These days, taking a break for yourself is like a privilege. I know it very well as I still work a 9 to 5. It's great to hear and see you finally have that blessing to can go for a walk at 11 something in the morning, and treat yourself to a delicious meal of your choice as desired ❤, especially knowing that in years prior you were so hopeful of one day knowing that experience. Dreams do come to life once we work towards them no matter what🙏. So happy for you, sweetie.
I pray that it'll only get better from here onwards for you. No more storeage fee also, that money can be redirected to something more meaningful for you👍. Guidance, blessings, and love abundantly, sweetie. Keep safe and warm. See you next week.🙏♥️♥️🫂💫
Hi Beautiful soul ❤️❤️. I'm happy to know you're feeling better. I saw your other comments and could relate to "basking in the gift of life" after being sick. Sometimes, that's what I tell myself while I'm sick. I remind myself that once I feel better, I'm going to have a renewed sense of life and feel like a million bucks, not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, spiritually...all the "lly's", lol!
Hard work and persistence will most certainly allow our dreams to come true. I'm so grateful for the life I have and the simple homesteading life I will have, as long as I never give up.
Thank you for another beautiful comment. Stay well, sis ✨💛🌞
@simmpleenough Thank you, sweetie 🙏♥️.
A renewed sense of life in all areas of the "llys" 😁 is exactly where I'm at now, hon 🙌😊😊. Having the right mindset certainly helps.
All your dreams will come to fruition in time because you are goal oriented and hardworking, and you most certainly have the right mindset. Can't wait to see your homestead, I'm sure it'll be a great reflection of you. Blessings and love always. Keep safe 🙏♥️♥️💫
I truly enjoy your videos - informational and soothing. This one is amazing and makes me think about my natural hair and to get out and workout! Continue to take good care. What is your take on vitamins and supplements? Be blessed and safe Monique.
Thank you! I think a healthy lifestyle comes in various shapes and sizes. I take a liquid multivitamin a few days a week. I’m not against many things when it comes to health. I mostly have an issue with the over consumption of overly processed foods in our society. Other than that, I say take a vitamin or don’t take a vitamin. Do what works for you 😊.
I use rhassoul clay solution to wash, then a mix of a la and coconut cream to condition, then apple cider rinse.
I used to use bentonite clay, but it’s too messy for van life (at least for me). I did the apple cider rinses, too! I might do those again.
Monique 👋,
Hello and Happy Sunday!!! My day started off a little late because I didn’t want to get up today. Nonetheless, when I finally did decide to do something, I jumped on RUclips and your video was the first thing to pop up. 🥳
I completely understand what you mean about binge eating peanut butter. When I first hit the road full time, I would run through peanut butter like nobody’s business. I don’t eat fast food much so I used peanut butter to help keep me full.
Now when I buy peanut butter, I only buy the smaller ones so I don’t flush through an entire jar 🫙. I lost far too much weight just eating peanut butter so I’m still trying to stay away (or at least not eat so much in one sitting 😝)
I know I always write a lot in your comments. I really do talk a lot so my apologies. I just love your videos so there’s always something I can comment on. I hope you have a fabulous rest of the day and an even better upcoming week. I look forward to tuning in on your next adventure. 🖤
Hello!! Someone else mentioned the small packs of peanut butter, so I might try those in the future.
Please don't apologize for your comments. I appreciate them and love reading them. There's a few viewers of this channel I feel like I know on a more personal level, and you're one of them. Plus, eventually, I feel like my vlogs will become repetitious (because my life isn't very exciting and I do the same things most days) so you all might not have as much to comment about pretty soon. I'll take all the lovely comments while I can get them, lol.
I hope you have a beautiful week 😊
girl, i know exactly what you mean by not being able to not finish a jar of peanut butter in 2 days LOL i eat a spoonful every time i walk past the kitchen! i love pb smothies too, especially with cocoa! it's so decadent! i have it as a meal and it leaves me full!
lol @ eating a spoonful everything you walk past the kitchen! Yup, that's me!
I love this video. By the time it was over, I felt like I had a spa day as well! Your voice is so calming and soothing. I cannot find a Patreon link.....can you tell me how to become a patron? Thanks, Monique. Love from a fellow introvert in California! 🥰
lol! I'm happy you enjoyed it. I recently closed my patreon account because I wan't posting on there consistently and felt bad people were giving me their money even though I wasn't keeping up my end of the deal. Thank you for offering, though. Just watching my ads from time to time is enough support ❤️.

"what God has willed has happened"
I'm the EXACT same way with my favorite foods!
However, Because I have that control of not buying the good stuff, I will allow myself a day or two of indulgence every 4-6 months.
I keep a pretty healthy diet on all the other days though. And I've found healthy foods that have become my new indulgences. I can go through a pack of tofu or head of kale in 2 days, and I don't feel guilty about it.
I'm the same way! I decided that since I'm someone who loves to eat, I'll just train myself to love the healthy stuff and indulge in the less healthy stuff less often. It works for me!
Asian and Mediterranean foods are my fa orite right now.
Hi Monique... I've been subscribed to Naptural85 since 2011. I will have to try her products. My hair is natural too, mingled grays and no chemical dyes. You use Kinky Curly Knot Today. I have some of that too. What an interesting video.
To God be the glory.❤
Hi Beautiful Soul ❤️. Yea, I really enjoy her deep conditioner. I'm going to try her shampoo and hair moisturizer next. So far, people are loving her products.
I love this for you especially reclaiming YOU!
I want to purchase your reusable freezer bags, but the link doesn't work 😢 .. please update!
Thank you! These are the bags amzn.to/3In2Hrb
You are a beautiful young Mama teaching those that want to grow and take care of their natural hair. I love how our new generation of young blk women analyze, research, invest and break the chains of being looked at funny or being asked “what’s wrong with your hair?”, because it’s out and naturally big. Yes you said it hair stylist…, mmh I could go on and on 😂 however moving forward and yes girl SLAY!
Thank you ❤️
Lol…Monique I feel that way about Little Debbie’s banana marshmallow pies. If they’re in the house I will eat the whole box in one sitting, so I don’t buy them. My daughter loves buying them for me and she’ll get 2 boxes. My store doesn’t carry them. I told her not to buy me anymore (All that sugar, lol).
lol, my dad used to do that with me and chips. I love plain potato chips and he knows it, so whenever I'd visit, he'd buy a party size bag for me. I had to tell him to stop!
The Melanin African Black Soap and the Melanin leave-in are great! I just recently discovered them the natural ingredient content is impressive too!
I’m planning to try all of her products!
You should open a restaurant you have a good handle on healthy eating. Wishing you all the best hugs!!
Thank you!
Im a new subbie. My best friend does rv van living but only part of the time.
Thank you for subscribing 😊
As a treat, may I humbly suggest coconut vegan yogurt, blueberries, almonds, and a couple luxardo cherries? The blueberries cut the sweetness, and the cherry almond combo is so good.
I just wrote this combo down. Can't wait to try it! Thank you 😊.
Glad you got that paperwork lol
Me, too! I was not playing around this time.
Omg two days😮lol😅 i eat peanut butter out the jar with tablespoon😂but not as much as you do lol😂 but i love peanut butter Jif😅 with apricot preserves its sooooo good!!!! ❤
lol!
Miss you friend but ive been going thru some things trying to save for my van while renting room and having thyroid surgery and biopsies pray for me friend🙏🙏🙏🙏i miss so i was so happy to see your video in my feed and even though you need a rest day your glowing your so pretty ❤❤❤
I just stopped what I was doing and said a prayer for you ❤️❤️.
@@simmpleenough thank you we can do all things with Gods help❤️❤️❤️
@@simmpleenough never can have enough prayer thank you 🙏
It's fascinating to me the way that our world has turned out. When I was little, the prevailing wisdom of "Go to college and then get a good job" was beginning to fall apart. Starting to hear about people with masters degrees unable to find work. And as our economy changed, new careers in social media cropped up. Positions no one saw coming. New ways of supporting yourself, new ways of downsizing. It's such a weird world we live in now. But I do like how it's okay to think outside of the box and try supporting oneself in unique ways. Thanks for sharing your strategies for rest and self care!
That mushroom bolognese looked delicious. If you do try to replicate it, please post your attempt, even if it isn't a perfect success. I too love to cook and it's so helpful when I can see what other people have tried when I make my own attempts.
Keep us updated on the Amla powder trial! My hair needs more love so I'm always looking for tips to strengthen it.
I agree. My partner used to work at home depot and he said some of his coworkers had medical degrees and IT degrees, but couldn't find jobs. When social media careers started to become common, I fought it, thinking it wasn't a "real" job, or thinking jobs like this would not last long. But after a while, I decided to go with the flow. Why not get in on this while I can?! That's how I see it now. I don't know how long I'll be able to make money online in this way, but I'm grateful to be able to do it for now. As things continue to change, I'll continue to adjust and find my way.
Monique where are you thinking buying your land ? I bought 1 acre here in California I’m really happy I hope to see you on the road .
I'm not sure, yet. Congrats on owning land! Part of my reason for traveling is to figure out where I want to live. I feel like I'd love California, especially the northern area, but I've never considered that state because it's so expensive. My goal is 5 or so acres.
Idk if your in California, but if you ever come to LA try Stuff I Eat in Inglewood.
Thanks for the suggestion!
There is nothing wrong with putting yourself first. As women, we almost always default to placing the needs of others over our own.
Can you share about comfort clothes…some day? Thanks!
Do you mean the brand of my clothes? My skirts are from Modanisa and my shirts are from amazon and target.
You’ve answered my question in your answer.
It’s the pants that look comfy.
Thanks!❤
I am a new subscriber. I enjoyed watching the first video I saw of yours very much. Are you vegan? That mushroom dish looked and sounded amazing.
Thank you so much for subscribing. I'm plant based 😊.
Interesting channel! Can't you park at a family member, or friend's house?
I could, but I prefer not to be dependent on other people's resources.
I left as soon as Storage Mart went up $10. For what? I let them know in the feedback I left for that reason. I was only there for like 3 months and the price already went up. Services not improved, office hours not lengthend, nothing. Yeah, i don't like price increases without service increases.
Exactly! No more.
U do not need products - may I introduce u to Cyndoll licensed cosmotologist on RUclips. If the youtubers r not licensed cosmotologist u may mess up your hair and scalp - there is science to hair. Sebum comes out of our scalp and that is what moistorizes our hair. I messed up my hair listening to random RUclipsrs who were not Licensed cosmo. Bless u and yours. 😊
Naptural85 is a licensed cosmetologist 😊. Bless you, as well ❤️
