    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    Description:
    Join Caitlin Pyle as she gives you an exclusive tour of " Vanastasia," her beautifully customized van that epitomizes the essence of modern van life with high-end finishes and smart solutions. After downsizing from a traditional home, Caitlin has embraced a simpler life on the road without sacrificing comfort or style. Discover how she has transformed her van into the best home she's ever had, complete with luxurious amenities and ingenious modifications.
    🚐 Inside Vanestasia:
    Gourmet Kitchen: Explore Caitlin’s kitchen, which features a quartz countertop identical to the one she had in her previous home, symbolizing her seamless transition to van life. The kitchen is equipped with a two-burner induction cooktop, an eco-friendly dishwasher, and a versatile toaster oven that eliminates the need for a microwave, keeping her meals nutritious.
    Living and Storage Spaces: Caitlin highlights the abundant storage across the van, including a full-size closet, innovative cabinetry, and even a hidden dishwasher that doubles as a drying rack. Every nook is utilized to ensure a clutter-free and functional living environment.
    Tech-Smart Utilities: From USB-equipped power outlets to advanced water filtration systems, Caitlin’s van is designed for convenience and sustainability. She details the use of Quakehold gel to secure items in place, an uncommon but life-changing addition to her mobile home.
    🌍 Sustainable Living on the Road:
    Water Conservation: With a 32-gallon fresh water supply and her trusty Berkey filter, Caitlin is equipped for extensive travel, employing water-saving techniques like military showers to extend her independence on the road.
    Energy Efficiency: Caitlin’s van boasts 200 watts of solar power and a secondary alternator, ensuring her energy needs are met responsibly. She also uses a high-capacity battery system to run her appliances efficiently, including a unique air conditioning setup that allows for comfort without the constant engine run.
    đŸ‘©â€đŸŽš Design and Decor:
    Caitlin and her van builder, Bougie Builds from Fayetteville, NC, collaborated closely to bring her vision to life, incorporating sleek mirrored chrome backsplash tiles that reflect her aesthetic and the van’s overall luxurious feel. The cohesive design extends from the polished kitchen to the cozy bedroom space.
    💡 Lifestyle and Philosophy:
    Van Life Community: Caitlin shares her insights into the van life community, emphasizing the minimalist lifestyle that has allowed her to live more freely and happily than ever before. She reflects on the profound personal growth and the joy of living authentically on the road.
    Mental and Physical Wellness: Through her journey, Caitlin has become a passionate advocate for mental health, sharing her story to inspire others to take care of their psychological well-being as diligently as their physical spaces.

    If you reverse the clips on your fridge the little strap wont flap out into your fridge every time you open the door. So put the side that you have on the door on the side of the fridge and the side on the side of the fridge on the door. We have those clips on my kids’ dressers and it got super annoying till I realized I could just position them the opposite way.

    For the record, microwaves do not deplete nutrients from food. All a microwave does is heat up water molecules by making them vibrate and essentially steaming your food from the inside. If anything a flame from a gas oven is actual worse for preserving nutrients in food as it breaks down molecules instead of simply vibrating them. I would understand not wanting a microwave in a van to save on space, but they are objectively and scientifically more power efficient and safer than even an air fryer or electric/gas oven. Even if you're looking from an environmental standpoint, microwaves are objectively better for the environment. Please please please do not contribute to perpetuating the harmful stereotype of microwave simply because you do not fully comprehend the science behind how they work.
