    To experience a happy, healthy, care-free lifestyle is the best. I'm living it now in my senior years. For you to experience it at such a young age is such a blessing for you, keep enjoying!🤩

      Yes, there are chemicals to protect from bugs and the material likely laid on unclean surfaces and floors, handled with unclean hands, especially if manufactures in 2nd and 3rd world countries

    The Dollar Tree has nice canvas art you can hang on your walls, and they're lightweight, too.
    I love that you're making your living spaces like a home, adding personal decorative touches lightly. Stay safe and continue to enjoy your vanlife journey.

    I must say thank you for a normal channel that I find to be refreshing. No gossip. No flashing of body parts. PG rated no cussing. Free travel and exploring. Thank you so so much for doing things for those that don’t want their minds full of garbage. Five star all day! 🎉

    Hey Nomi! It is great to see you making your home cozy and comfortable! Love the pictures you put up my friend. You are proving you can make nice changes to your place without spending a lot of money. Your meal looked yummy, but then you make everything look really appetizing! Love you Nomi
    Hugs, Roseanne

    Lovely seeing you so upbeat. You look great. Love the homey touches to the van as well. You never cease to amaze me with how you can throw together such lovely one pot meals! I’m learning a lot from you and I’m 76. (A very youthful 76!!). Take care on the road. I wish you nothing but peace and happiness as you travel to fulfill your dreams. If you ever come across the border to Canada you are welcome to drop in!

    If you can find the right size, it is nice to be able to put a clear bin in a cupboard like that and pull it all out and see what is in there at once. and it will stay on the shelf you put it in... I got some for under my sinks so I can pull them out and see. and it keeps thing clean.

    @aemartin2258 Před rokem +1

    @Turner
    Yes always wash bath and bed linens before using. And Nomi all veggies should be rinsed before putting away, exception frozen bagged foods. PLEASE remember the clean top of cans before drinking ur bev's. Do not throw ur bin away. 💖🙏🏼

  • @lysandraawilliams
    @lysandraawilliams Před rokem +2

    You can repurpose/recycle your seasoning or other convenient containers. Just wash and dry well place your newly purchased bulk item i.e. cheese and now you have protection for it and it will stay fresh longer.
    I emptied 3 bottles of bulk spices while creating a triple batch of chili seasoning yesterday. I was able to fill up 2 jars and slapped on another label. Good luck!

  • @karinadradecorazones6699

    Hey Nomi, just an advice. Every time you buy intimates, towels or bedding, always wash before using. Why? Because there’s always different hands handling them. Not always clean hands. Been doing that for years. 🙏🏻

    Hey full timer here also. It’s not bad to light candles in your rig, what’s bad is that wax candles produce soot. Try to change to a waxless candle. I light candles everyday love it also.

    Maybe you can find baskets that fit your pantry. Then when you are looking for something you can just pull out a basket instead of digging through. Transparent bins if you can find ones that would fit would be even better.

    @claudieC. Před rokem +1

    I wish you would use natural scents. Everything you bought has chemicals, some have lead. Use natural lemon oil or lavender oil, or even peppermint, oil. Whatever you like. It's all natural from a plant 100% pure. Safe and no chemicals. I like anise. Smells like back liquorice. Reminds me of my chikd hood and relaxes me. Same with lavender oil which has been proved to decrease feelings of sadness/ depression and anxiety as aroma therapy. I just bought grapefruit oil, and it smells amazing.

    Get little tension bars that go in your cabinets so your pantry items don’t fall forward. Yes, I would save the green Rubbermaid and put it in your trunk with your hoses and things and I’m always yelling at the screen not really yelling open your blinds open your windows, open your door and get some fresh air especially while you’re cooking and eating there’s nothing like looking outside been outside having the fresh air 24 seven and the beautiful outdoors

    @almaaguilar5393 Před rokem

    I’ve been watching your videos and I like that you finally added pictures to make it look like a home. Have you thought of getting a wheel lock and possibly a chain and lock to hold both cab doors together. I was getting ready for bed and I had two persons trying to break in and within seconds they opened the drivers door I freaked out and used my air horn. I also had the seatbelt strapped to the handle which it slowed them down.. eventually I had to leave and they came back and did a lot of damage..

  • @turnbullstravels735
    @turnbullstravels735 Před rokem

    Have you tried those short tension curtain rods in your pantry? They are like $2 at Wal Mart…I put them between both sides of the cabinet frame in my cupboards and can still close the door. Keeps stuff from falling out after a travel day. 🤗
