    Hi👋🏼💕If you spread your ground beef out flat in the baggie, then push the air out, it not only saves room because they stack flat and thin , but they thaw out very fast. I do this in my home freezer 💕💕💕

      I flatten, stack and freeze my COOKED rice. Breaks apart like a cracker when I'm ready for a portion size. This time and space saver rice hack tastes fresh as ever.
      Abiyah I love your humility and transparency. Enjoy your desired freedom ... in The Lord! HE often gives us the desires of our heart. God bless you today and always!!!🙏🙌♥️

    Hey I watch sometimes and have stayed in a minivan camping in the cold. Y’all - it’s so cold because there is air getting into the minivan. People need to know that my minivan was colder than a tent. Renting a camping spot truly was a “great decision.” Thank you so much for this video. It was inspiring and educational. Until I solve the insulation and control the ventilation in near and below 32F weather, I won’t winter camp in my minivan again. This was the best video editing I’ve seen from you channel. Keep up the great work. And keep in layering cloths. I hope to meet you down the road.

The state with the most number of Planet Fitness locations in the US is California, with 186 locations, which is about 8% of all Planet Fitness locations in the US.
