Y’all have no idea what a blessing to see folks that match your energy and are living the dream. As a latina used to seeing mostly white couples make van tour videos I’m so happy for y’all! it’s really aiding to de-stigmatize this lifestyle for black and brown folks and in a realistic way(from ‘foyer’ to the storage solutions)🙏🏽😭
Thx sis! Same here, there was very little representation when we were researching so we are hoping to do our little part to change that and inspire mire people to experience this dope lifestyle (even if just for A weekend or 2 )
Thank you for your reply. Amen.. You are also experiencing new friends anywhere. I find it facinating that everyone has a new and different story to tell. Also there are plenty of good. People on the road. I love everybody. Short trips or long trips just do it. Get out of the rat race. See the beautiful countryside that god wants us to do. Being a nomad is. Wonderful. Sure wish i could be on my way to nomad freedom. Nomads has ups and downs to. But maybe a bit different kind. Of course there is the finance. Thing to deal with. This is my issue. If i had the money i would be one the road without hesitating . i have been in apts for 47 years. This is a prison camp. I dont. Want sticks at this time. I just want to be a. Nomad. If any nomad needs to get back into yje rar race sticks and bricks they can. My husband doesnt want to go camping even. He has been out of work for two years. No jobs here in dallas texas for him. Everyone is doing his job..i i ever get single again. I will be a nomad. I have outlived my family. He has pne son. He tries to help us. My husband likes. Camping i thought. That back fired on that idea. We dont have anything. Just what little we have. Im going to downsize little by little. He doesnt know what my plan is. I will be ready to be a nomad in the future. I have a small sos.sec check. I want to be debt free to. Enjoy life of freedom what time i have left to live. Im 75 yrs. Old. My husband is to.
@@janchapman3746 I pray that you and your husband experience the SHALOM PEACE of God. I pray that God will move on BOTH of your hearts to reach a loving compromise. 🔹 Maybe with your son, all 3 of you can go to a campground for a weekend. It's understandable that your husband wants stability in his retirement years when unexpected health expenses tend to come up..... 🔹Sometimes by being a part of a congregation, God is able to use another male to fellowship with and get a VISION for doing something new. Churches usually have retreats and for some you don't have to be a member... 🔹 *Meanwhile, as you DECLARE, MEDITATE ON & MEMORIZE God's promises for PEACE, WISDOM, GUIDANCE, PROTECTION etc you will BOTH have all you need to live safely....* God Bless!💙
@@cancelmychannel van life should be same irrespective of the colour..... Surely?? . Everybody drives, sleep, eat, poo, enjoy the scenery and live. That's what it should be about.
Man...this is inspiration right here. I’ve been dreaming of living this lifestyle for a while now. I have two daughters and I believe it would be such a remarkable experience for them. As well as healing and aiding in breaking generational curses, de-programming etc. thank you for this video!! I’m manifesting an RV❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey guys great to see young black couples doing the van life. Nice van build, I'm in the process is doing my van build. Will see you on the road....eventually. Peace and just keep doing it....
Thanks so much! We are hoping yo inspire more people to get out and try it, especially now while so many people can work remotely :).it’s honestly been some of the most fun moments of our life! Let us know if we can be of any help during your journey.
"DO NOT" PLACE FLAMMABLE ITEMS ON TOP OF BATTERIES!.. BATTERIES SHOULD BE IN A AIRTIGHT FIRE RESISTANT METAL BOX (FIRE/ EXPLOSION).. BOX SHOULD BE VENTED OUTSIDE VEHICLE IN CASE FUMES LEAK FROM BATTERIES..
Thanks for mentioning this! I gasped when I saw that. I don’t have experience with van life/modeling, but I worked on military electronic systems. I’d be distraught if something happened to the Ferdinands and their new van. 😟
Absolutely love this, I was watching a white couple and was inspired. However, I thought like why don’t I see black and browns doing this and then this popped up. Many blessings on your travel and honeymoon. This is awesome! ❤️
I LOVE everything about this video. Your energy, your personalities, your van, the editing and the way that you cut between the both of you so it really feels like you’re both doing the whole tour. I can’t wait to see more from you
You’re the first Black couple I’ve seen doing van life and your van is GORGEOUS! Seriously love what y’all have done with your limited amount of space & love seeing this representation for us :)
Agreeing with the good vibes here. It's wonderful to see a black couple out here taking control of your lives; living on YOUR terms. Congratulations to y'all!🙌🏾✨💗
I love this van tour. I have watched hundreds of van tour videos and some are terrible, soul less and a waste of time, most follow the samey samey format but give you all the details - which is great! But you guys!!! It is so much fun, great energy and you come across awesome! I love the little clips and i love that you both tell us about the same thing. Love the spa, pharmacy, media centre etc. Plus its a great layout, almost exactly what i want. Happy honeymooning!
Aww we truly appreciate your feedback and will make sure we continue to provide value to people and personality :-)...Keep us updated on your progress of your Van! If we can help in anyway let us know.
Just stumbled upon your channel. While looking at van conversion channels on here. I think you two have a winning combination going here. Extremely personable, intelligent, creative and just likable people. The van is a show case for anyone wanting to follow your foot steps. I'm very impressed with it all. I expect you guys are going to do very well with your channel. Here's to your continued success!
Awww wow, that really means a lot Robert! We hope to showcase the lifestyle in hopes that more people are inspired to live freely and do what makes them happy☺️
Yah see me sis?!! lol Thx for noticing, it ain’t easy being a natural hair, dope design nail lover during van life... but it was ESSENTIAL to maintain lol 💁🏾♀️💅🏾
This is the ABSOLUTE BEST van build I've seen! Hands down! If I were ever to do this I think I would try to incorporate everything they did! Good for them, many blessings and adventures to them and God's protection!
I’m only three minutes in and I am hooked on y’all’s adventure!!!! My husband and I are in the dreaming/predevelopment phase of our vanlife journey and you two are just the inspo we needed
We are glad to have helped! We remember when we were there also...we watched RUclips after RUclips videos until we just said let's make it happen :-) Message us when you guys hit the road!
Hi. My name is John. My dog is Barney. My van is Lyle, and like your van was built out by OGA Vans. Like you, I love my van. I love the personal touches throughout that makes your vab that look nothing like mine, when it could look so very much like mine. I’ve been across the country five times since picking Lyle up in Maryland in January of 2020, and would love to run into you, meet up, and say hi...and tour each other’s homes in person one day down the road.
Thank you for this!!! It is nice to see diversity in van life! I am off during the summers and was trying to convince my daughter to do this with me for a couple of months! This video will convince her! Your energy is amazing and you two are BEAUTIFUL!
So inspiring, the colors, the decor, use if space, plants and mainly the love! Wishing you peace and safety on your travels as you two enjoy one another daily!
Love your van, awesome. Storing cloths or bedding in the batteries compartment probably is flammable with electricity. Just looking out for you guys. Congrats on your marriage.
Thanks for your concern, really!! We have crate around fire hazard item under the seats so that nothing is sitting directly on it... We also have a 24 hour fan running (that runs on almost no power) under the bench to circulate air and the bedding isn’t tightly packed. Our builders told us it was fine as well. We do have a fire alarm and extinguisher right beside all the electrical and propane. We try to take safety pretty seriously! Thanks again!
Y’all are such an inspiration! I have been trying to convince my bf to do this with me for months now. So happy to see a young black couple doing this! I’m going to show him this video and pray he opens up to the idea
You guys definitely should! It’s so fun in the US is beautiful. I was the same as your boyfriend where I didn’t really want to go, but my hubby pain and vision on how I life could be. I talk about it in the video before last titled “Keys to our new home, and its a VAN”. Please let us know if they helps
I’m trying to talk my husband into it, too. He couldn’t care less about possessions, and he LOVES to hike and fish, so what could be more perfect? I’m doing a minivan for myself and hoping that he’ll join me in that sometime, fall in love with it, and then be in for a van.
I had all plans to live in a sprinter but I’ve switched to a bus and this makes me sooooo happy to see you guys living road life. It is so important for us to find other couples who we feel most relatable to on the road and it is more known for hippie white people to be on the road so this is so refreshing! Hope to see you guys on the road!
Love this. U make everything realistic and attainable. I enjoy you fun sides. Dreamed of this for years. Van Life. Just came back from out west(Canada) lived 2 wks in my car. I loved it. Need to downsize more. Continue having fun, living.
I've seen a lot of van tours over the years, and this is the best by far! Love how you named each cabinet (spa, library [a plethora!], pharmacy, multimedia room!). 😍 The video was fun, intelligent, creative, informative, happy, very positive and full of energy! Keep it up! Be seeing you!
Wow what a beautiful build and such a beautiful couple! Loved the editing and you both showing your personalities! More black love and black van life!!! 🖤
Thanks A lot! Let us know which one of those income streams is your favorite, we’ve practically use all of them to be able to live full-time without a traditional job for the last decade. We pray they are as helpful to you as they have been to us and for fulfilling and living your dreams
i’m so happy to see black love and black people living their life, especially with alternative living. great to see representation! 💗 also where’s her dress from omg 🥺
So glad YT suggested your channel to me !! I've been working on convincing my husband for TWO YEARS to plan for this because we need to free ourselves from the hamster wheel !! This is so amazing and to see US doing this is so magical !! I loved this video so much a hardly skipped ANY ads because I want to support you both as much as possible !! So exciting !!
So your channel just showed up and I was like ok, lets check it out. I instantly subscribed and watched and liked all the videos. That's what I love about this platform, you put yourself out there and let the world fall in love with you. You two are such a beautiful couple. I cried on the wedding vid. May you both continue to be Blessed on this journey and remember to put Love 1st. I'm sending you both the Vibration of continued Success, Love, Happiness, and Gratitude.
Awww this message warmed our hearts! Thanks for such kind words and affirmations! Sending all those vibrations and blessings right back! Would love to link up somewhere on the journey! I like your energy ❤️
Omg y’all are so adorable 🥰 I can’t wait for baby Ferdinand! Very unique & clean design. Ps- I like the fact you didn’t make the bed permanent,it’s gives the van more space and feels open ! Good luck & be safe on the road 🌟
If y'all from Maryland, it is nice to see Marylanders being so purposeful and taking a leap for their dreams. I'm excited to watch more content from you all! Thank you for the tour of your home.
Awww that’s a special day indeed! Thx for sharing your bday with us☺️ (it’s also our anniversary of when I accepted his proposal to be his Gf so our wedding anniversary was also our 11th year anniversary of being a couple 🥰 it’s a special date to us
So much positive energy! Excellent build. Who needs a home made of bricks and mortar when you have this! And the additional fold-down desk at the back of the van. I've not seen that addition before. Excellent idea. But not to burst your bubble I was concerned you kept bedding on top of your batteries. Yes it appears you have a vent at the front of the housing which leads into the van but ideally you need a vent which leads outside of the van. As there is a small risk of gases from the batteries when charging getting into the cabin which can be detrimental to your health. With the additional possible risk of batteries overcharging and therefore overheating which could be a fire hazard especially with bedding stored on top. You're living the dream. Stay beautiful. We wish you well. 😀
Thank you for the insight...we are going to do more research about this and see if there's away for us to reorganize things to move the bedding. Truly appreciate you!
Officially my new favorite, off grid living, channel.. The production value is top notch and we have the same sense of humor. Kudos to the both of you and safe travels..
Awesome! Please let us know if we can help with the journey (maybe not the build itself because we didn’t do much of that lol but the journey/ prep/ storage hacks.) let us know and we can make a video
We stumbled upon your channel while watching some other videos, but you guys were the first that we felt settled clicking the Subscribe button. My husband and I really love your vibe and we’re really interested in the lifestyle.😊 Now we are seriously looking at making the switch to the tiny, van life/travel life. We’d love to connect if you’re ever in Northern Indiana. Safe travels.
I adore you guys!!!! Your edits are too funny😂 Funny enough I live in Maryland and are about to buy an RV and go down to Florida!! Hahaha Love that you are vanning for your honeymoon!!!!!
@@LoveBiz We moved here from Tampa at the end of 2019 near Baltimore, in Bel Air but we are originally from Cleveland ❤️❤️Unfortunately we couldn’t get to experience all the things we wanted to do in and around Maryland because of covid so I hardly know MD. I’m hoping to get the RV and see all the state parks in MD and PA first and then travel the eastern seaboard before heading to FL! You guys are probably already heading out west, I think that’s where you said you were going if I remember correctly, I’d love to visit Lake Havasu in Arizona soon too
I live in DMV area, MD in the PG area. I would love to convert a Van. This build is so beautiful, I would want it just like this. How long did it take y'all?
lol thanks so much ! Bob also acts as our laundry hamper (double usage areas are key!! lol) we will prob do a break down of storage hacks that van lifers or people looking to create more space in their regular homes can use ☺️🗿
I was waiting to see a full video on how it turned out.....too cute!! I wouldn’t mind doing this for a weekend 🤣....I said 👏🏽week👏🏽end! Love y’all, be safe & see u soon!! 😍🥰💜
love seeing the black love and black people living life to the fullest! blessings to you both and all your endeavors! 🤍 edit: plus the energy and joy pouring out from yall is beautiful to see! 😍🥰

I must say, you are both the sweetiest young couple I've ever seen. I love your vide and your beautiful tiny home. God bless you both, please stay safe and protected.❤❤🐝🇬🇧
Clicked like before ya’ll actually got good and started and since watching the video, I LOVE it! Love ya’ll and your energy and your honey moon van. I’ve been wanting to buildout a van for a couple years now, but NOW I think I’ve moved on to just building my own little tiny home... for now. The van may still come later! Enjoy your travels and your marriage! You’re a beautiful couple!!
Okay this is the vid I needed to see!!! So how do you take care of your natural hair in such a small space? Like how do you keep your space clean during and after you go through a natural hair care routine???
4 words - Wigs and protective styles!! Okkkkayyy! lol I’m in the middle of taking out locs that are way past their expiration and I’m thinking of filming the take out and redo process because whew chyyyy!!! 😅... but what I will say is planet fitness to wash my hair without having to think about water constraints has been a key for wash day... and for take out, sitting on a trash bag to catch all the hair and product build up helps with clean up... also having a dedicated & easily accessible space in the van for products that wa close to a mirror (for quick baby hair Layage) was must!! Hope that helped
@@LoveBiz omg I needed that answer 😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾 I only thought of P. F as a place to shower but not my hair too!! That makes so much since!! And YES FILM YOUR HAIR PROCESS, I need visual representation 😂🙌🏾 thank you sis! 😘💕 keep making vids for us 😘😘😘

Us too! Thx so much!
I also follow Where is Tiffany and Dawn of Van Life. Two other great adventure girls you might like. 😸
It's so heartwarming to see representation isn't it! Definitely one of the main reasons why I decided to share my van on RUclips too 🥰
more black van lifestyle is what I've been waiting to see
Yea there was very little representation when we were researching too! Hoping that we can inspire others to join. The lifestyle is lit 🔥

I’m trying to talk my husband into it, too. He couldn’t care less about possessions, and he LOVES to hike and fish, so what could be more perfect? I’m doing a minivan for myself and hoping that he’ll join me in that sometime, fall in love with it, and then be in for a van.
I love Carmen VANDiego, btw I thought I was the only one who remembers this great work gumshoes! I love the video well made!
Yes! Thank you so much :-)
This is literally the best vanlife tour I’ve ever seen.
Wow!! An honor🙏🏾
Great van and great video! You’re both so fun and entertaining. I hope your channel explodes. :)
Aww thank you so much :-) We hope so also lol
I love this !!!! So inspiring and so dope!!!
Thanks! We are hoping to inspire others to live this life (even if it for a weekend) because it’s so freeing!
Gorgeous van and gorgeous couple. I'm truly inspired.
Appreciate it ❤️
I had all plans to live in a sprinter but I’ve switched to a bus and this makes me sooooo happy to see you guys living road life. It is so important for us to find other couples who we feel most relatable to on the road and it is more known for hippie white people to be on the road so this is so refreshing! Hope to see you guys on the road!
Yes, we are loving it and looking to meet more people like us on the road. Where are you guys currently?
Love this. U make everything realistic and attainable.
I enjoy you fun sides.
Dreamed of this for years. Van Life.
Just came back from out west(Canada) lived 2 wks in my car.
I loved it.
Need to downsize more.
Continue having fun, living.
Aww thank you so much, we truly appreciate those words :-)
OMGosh. Foyer, Spa, Gym! You guys have me cutting up! Lovely van home. So many good ideas. Congratulations on your marriage! 💜
Aww thank you so much for the love!
I've seen a lot of van tours over the years, and this is the best by far! Love how you named each cabinet (spa, library [a plethora!], pharmacy, multimedia room!). 😍
The video was fun, intelligent, creative, informative, happy, very positive and full of energy! Keep it up! Be seeing you!
It’s the affirming statements for me!!!! Thanks so much for enjoying our van with us!!!
Wow what a beautiful build and such a beautiful couple! Loved the editing and you both showing your personalities! More black love and black van life!!! 🖤
Thank you so much!
What a wonderful video!😊
Thank you Gwendolyn
Just purchased your book off Amazon! Showing support, gathered van life ideas and laughed throughout the video. You guys are amazing!
Thanks A lot! Let us know which one of those income streams is your favorite, we’ve practically use all of them to be able to live full-time without a traditional job for the last decade. We pray they are as helpful to you as they have been to us and for fulfilling and living your dreams
I must say putting clothing items in the pillow cases vs. Actual pillows is VERY clever!!! I've not seen ANYONE do that in van life!!!
Thanks! EVERYTHING must be maximized for space when you have so little of it lol
i’m so happy to see black love and black people living their life, especially with alternative living. great to see representation! 💗 also where’s her dress from
omg 🥺
We love to see it, we love to be it ☺️ Zara girl!! It’s my go to outside of thrifting
So glad YT suggested your channel to me !! I've been working on convincing my husband for TWO YEARS to plan for this because we need to free ourselves from the hamster wheel !! This is so amazing and to see US doing this is so magical !! I loved this video so much a hardly skipped ANY ads because I want to support you both as much as possible !! So exciting !!
Aww thank you so much for the support!! If you guys have any questions please feel free to ask. See you guys on the road 😁
What a different, fun, vibe you guys generate. Editing is awesome and so are you guys.
Thanks so much Catherine! Just being ourselves and having fun on this adventure 🥰
The Appreciation Box! That's the best idea I've seen in many, many videos. 🤩
Yes! We got the idea from counseling lol been working :-)
It’s so good to see a young black couple congratulations on your marriage and your van
Thanks so much!!!
So your channel just showed up and I was like ok, lets check it out. I instantly subscribed and watched and liked all the videos. That's what I love about this platform, you put yourself out there and let the world fall in love with you. You two are such a beautiful couple. I cried on the wedding vid. May you both continue to be Blessed on this journey and remember to put Love 1st. I'm sending you both the Vibration of continued Success, Love, Happiness, and Gratitude.
Awww this message warmed our hearts! Thanks for such kind words and affirmations! Sending all those vibrations and blessings right back! Would love to link up somewhere on the journey! I like your energy ❤️
Omg y’all are so adorable 🥰 I can’t wait for baby Ferdinand! Very unique & clean design. Ps- I like the fact you didn’t make the bed permanent,it’s gives the van more space and feels open ! Good luck & be safe on the road 🌟
just give us/my womb until the 50th state for baby ferd!!😂… and yes the convertible bed gives us so much more space!!! Thx for the love❤️
If y'all from Maryland, it is nice to see Marylanders being so purposeful and taking a leap for their dreams. I'm excited to watch more content from you all! Thank you for the tour of your home.
Yup!! From Baltimore (over west☺️). Thanks so much
Love the “engraved California closets” energy 🤣
haha yes! Thanks :-)
Omgoodness! This is such a cool concept. I am truly inspired.
Thanks :-)
Y’all got married on my birthday! You guys are a lovely couple. The build out is amazing
Awww that’s a special day indeed! Thx for sharing your bday with us☺️ (it’s also our anniversary of when I accepted his proposal to be his Gf so our wedding anniversary was also our 11th year anniversary of being a couple 🥰 it’s a special date to us
Mine too
So much positive energy! Excellent build. Who needs a home made of bricks and mortar when you have this! And the additional fold-down desk at the back of the van. I've not seen that addition before. Excellent idea. But not to burst your bubble I was concerned you kept bedding on top of your batteries. Yes it appears you have a vent at the front of the housing which leads into the van but ideally you need a vent which leads outside of the van. As there is a small risk of gases from the batteries when charging getting into the cabin which can be detrimental to your health. With the additional possible risk of batteries overcharging and therefore overheating which could be a fire hazard especially with bedding stored on top. You're living the dream. Stay beautiful. We wish you well. 😀
Thank you for the insight...we are going to do more research about this and see if there's away for us to reorganize things to move the bedding. Truly appreciate you!
Officially my new favorite, off grid living, channel.. The production value is top notch and we have the same sense of humor. Kudos to the both of you and safe travels..
haha thanks!! We try to add our personality...new video coming soon editing takes some time haha
Y'all are so beautiful! I love it!
Thank you :-)
Awesome!! Wow he loves this woman!! No wonder she’s a beauty 🙏🏽
He better lol… 12 years later, waking up and making a decision to choose the action of love everyday is the key! Thanks a lot ❤️❤️
This is so dope💜💜🙏🏾!! Love this video. You guys are so cute
Thank you Jayna!
@@LoveBiz Your welcome
Liked and subscribed. In the middle of my promaster build. Glad to see a black couple doing this currently. Y’all beautiful.
Awesome! Please let us know if we can help with the journey (maybe not the build itself because we didn’t do much of that lol but the journey/ prep/ storage hacks.) let us know and we can make a video
We stumbled upon your channel while watching some other videos, but you guys were the first that we felt settled clicking the Subscribe button. My husband and I really love your vibe and we’re really interested in the lifestyle.😊 Now we are seriously looking at making the switch to the tiny, van life/travel life. We’d love to connect if you’re ever in Northern Indiana. Safe travels.
Aww thanks and yes!!! Do it, we really love it. We are going to be heading that way early next year. Stay in touch so we can meet up :-)
I adore you guys!!!! Your edits are too funny😂
Funny enough I live in Maryland and are about to buy an RV and go down to Florida!! Hahaha
Love that you are vanning for your honeymoon!!!!!
haha thanks for the love! Really what part of MD? Maybe we can see you on the road!
@@LoveBiz We moved here from Tampa at the end of 2019 near Baltimore, in Bel Air but we are originally from Cleveland ❤️❤️Unfortunately we couldn’t get to experience all the things we wanted to do in and around Maryland because of covid so I hardly know MD.
I’m hoping to get the RV and see all the state parks in MD and PA first and then travel the eastern seaboard before heading to FL! You guys are probably already heading out west, I think that’s where you said you were going if I remember correctly, I’d love to visit Lake Havasu in Arizona soon too
I live in DMV area, MD in the PG area. I would love to convert a Van. This build is so beautiful, I would want it just like this. How long did it take y'all?
Guys WOW a 50 state honeymoon tour, Yes This Honeymoon will never end!!!!!😍😍😍😍
This is the trip that neverrrrrr endssss it just goes on and on my friendsssss🎶 lol (to the sound of lambchops song)
I 💖 you Allison entry way and Bob. The builders did a great job and love Nikki's decorating. Enjoy your travels! Stay safe and TFS💖
lol thanks so much ! Bob also acts as our laundry hamper (double usage areas are key!! lol) we will prob do a break down of storage hacks that van lifers or people looking to create more space in their regular homes can use ☺️🗿
NEW SUBBBB LOVE THE ENERGY❤️ IM HERE FOR IT‼️
Awww thanks babes! Welcome to the fam! ☺️
I was waiting to see a full video on how it turned out.....too cute!! I wouldn’t mind doing this for a weekend 🤣....I said 👏🏽week👏🏽end! Love y’all, be safe & see u soon!! 😍🥰💜

@@LoveBiz I’m living vicariously through y’all on that one lol
You two are too cute, god bless and good luck. Great job on the conversion!

I must say, you are both the sweetiest young couple I've ever seen. I love your vide and your beautiful tiny home. God bless you both, please stay safe and protected.❤❤🐝🇬🇧
Clicked like before ya’ll actually got good and started and since watching the video, I LOVE it! Love ya’ll and your energy and your honey moon van. I’ve been wanting to buildout a van for a couple years now, but NOW I think I’ve moved on to just building my own little tiny home... for now. The van may still come later! Enjoy your travels and your marriage! You’re a beautiful couple!!
Aww thanks and you should do it one day! We are enjoying it...congrats on the tiny home!
Okay this is the vid I needed to see!!! So how do you take care of your natural hair in such a small space? Like how do you keep your space clean during and after you go through a natural hair care routine???
4 words - Wigs and protective styles!! Okkkkayyy! lol I’m in the middle of taking out locs that are way past their expiration and I’m thinking of filming the take out and redo process because whew chyyyy!!! 😅... but what I will say is planet fitness to wash my hair without having to think about water constraints has been a key for wash day... and for take out, sitting on a trash bag to catch all the hair and product build up helps with clean up... also having a dedicated & easily accessible space in the van for products that wa close to a mirror (for quick baby hair Layage) was must!! Hope that helped
@@LoveBiz omg I needed that answer 😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾 I only thought of P. F as a place to shower but not my hair too!! That makes so much since!! And YES FILM YOUR HAIR PROCESS, I need visual representation 😂🙌🏾 thank you sis! 😘💕 keep making vids for us 😘😘😘
Lol I gotchu!
This the best van life channel out there
Thank you so much! Means a lot :-)
I just love how she just KNOWS she’s in a mansion lol “California Closet” 😂🙌🏽 Yeeesssss!!!! ❤️
😂😂 i have to create the space in my mind lol
You guys DID THAT!! The freedom is palpable!!
The goal is to inspire freedom sis!! And have fun, create memories and be love in them process
Absolutely love everything about the van and editing!
