Just here to be the big sister you always wanted - like the cool kind who just wants you to live your best life ya know?
5 Reasons I Decided to Stop Living in my Car (but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try!)
Heya everyone! I thought I'd provide a bit of a life update as a lot has changed about a month ago, I felt like the best option for me was to get a job and get on my feet a little bit (wish me luck!) but I am still SO DETERMINED to build a fulfilling life in the long run and to stay aware of what my soul needs to feel alive. I may try the nomadic life again some day, and I will definitely feel more prepared after all I have experienced :)

How I Fit EVERYTHING I OWN in my Car | Living on the Road
มุมมอง 7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This video is actually from a few months ago, before I upgraded but it definitely shows the minimal belongings I need for living on the road :) DISCLAIMER: I do keep 2 little boxes at my parent's house (as in under-bed roller boxes so not a lot of volume at all) of fancy clothes and important documents I didn't want to lose while I travel - so it may not be EVERYTHING everything but it is all I...
I Upgraded my SUV Living Setup
มุมมอง 1.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I'd been living in my SUV full time for a while with no conversion outside of folding down the back seats and chucking a mattress on top - but I wanted a simple build for storing my stuff UNDER the bed rather than on top (which required moving it all to the front seat when I wanted to sleep) and most importantly WHILE STILL KEEPING ALL THE HEADROOM
Day in the Life Living in my SUV | Not Nearly as Glam as #vanlife
มุมมอง 9K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I talk about some concerns and stresses with living in my car, we visit a beautiful crystal temple near Byron Bay, among other things typical to my life on the road 🚙 Nothing fancy but I hope someone gains value from my experience so far :) I'm definitely still feeling constricted in the same way I was at uni and working shift work, so there's still some changes to be made to achieve that sense...
North Stradbroke Island | Memories of Camping, 4WD, Getting Stuck
มุมมอง 1452 ปีที่แล้ว
Memories from April 3rd-5th 2022 Huge thank you to everyone who helped us get unstuck on various occasions - never felt judged for being novice 4 wheel drivers, everyone was just happy to help. If you're thinking of visiting, the island has plenty of accomodation, restaurants, guided activities like diving etc. as well as paid camping spots and caravan parks.

How to Bleach a Buzz Cut Platinum | Hair Refresh Pt 2
มุมมอง 13K4 ปีที่แล้ว
This is probably going to be the quickest / easiest / laziest bleaching video you'll ever watch because with so little hair there's really not much room for error. I cannot express how perfect this hairstyle is: low maintenance but still stylish, sophisticated and impactful
How To Do Your Own Buzz Cut | Hair Refresh Pt 1
มุมมอง 42K4 ปีที่แล้ว
I first shaved my head over a year ago and since then I only ever have to refresh it around once a month and pretty much do nothing with it in between... It's a good life :)
Last time I cut my hair at all was slightly over three years ago and I buzzed it... I'm feeling like it's that time again
So impressive you were able to fit that much into a duffle bag. Never heard of packing cubes before. Im going to try them, thanks!
May I ask, does 40 vol developer on your scalp burn?
Any bleach will make your scalp burn
yes use 20dev if you have a buzz
Beautiful 😍 ❤🎉😊
Wow such a minimalist! 😍 Can you tell me how you sorted through all your clothes and possessions, deciding which ones to keep and get rid of please? And how you managed to declutter all your possessions so well? I'm struggling alot because I'm finding it really really hard to let go 😩 Thank you so much ❤
Love it!!!!
The lovely buzzcut is new for me and thanks to you, I now know how to bleach my hair! which I will be doing soon! Thank you!
very organized and very efficient! Thanks for sharing.
That looks good I was going to shave my hair. But I never used a clipper before and you do yours so good❤
Cute belly button 😘
Thank you for giving me the confidence to shave my head at home instead of going to a salon. My head was already shaved but I was nervous about doing it at home and your video showed me that I could do it myself.
Great video! I have a great barber but I'd like to be able to cut my own hair when I'm traveling away from home or he's not in the shop. I already have the tools so that's not an issue. You make it look so manageable. Also, if I do end up making a mess of things, it will eventually grow back! Thanks again for an awesome video!
Damn
Went to a stylist for my buzzcut and plan on doing it myself from now on. Your video really helped me get over the nerves of doing it myself! Thank you!!!
All of your belly button rings looks absolutely gorgeous in your belly button super cute belly button
I love your belly it's very beautiful and the piercings look amazing on you. ❤
how long is her hair in mm? i have mine now on 0.7 mm and still i think they are to long. how much mm is this hair cut?
I used a #2 guard here so it would have been 6.4mm and then I used a #1 or no guard around the nape and the sideburns to clean it up - I hope that helps!
you edit your videos so well :)
Oh thank you!
oi, dont skate in workboots , especially if you're learning🤣
Oh my gosh I know 😂 don't worry I got myself a good pair of vans now haha
you should try out more clicker type piercings, they look so good on you!!!
Hahah thank you!!
As a guy I've always wanted a belly button piercing for some reason and I think I may get one with the small hoop. It doesn't draw a lot of attention but I've always wanted one. I would have gotten it by now but just worried what people will say about it, which is why I think the hoop is a good option
I have plenty of friends that love belly piercings on men! It doesn't matter what people say because there will always be people who support you and you'll attract all the right people when you're being true yourself. I say go for it, a hoop will look subtle and super cool! and if you don't like it you can just take it out and it'll heal over like nothing ever happened ☺️
I had mine almost one year ago, and it feels amazing. Go for it, you’re gonna rock it with crop tops, at the beach etc., feel yourself. I want the hoop too, as soon as I can change the one I have. It feels vintage like the 90’s and it looks sublime and delicate. My advice is, don’t think about it too much. Find yourself a great piercer and do it.
I had my navel pierced from I was around 18 - 25, then I took it out, but I recently re pierced it (2,5 months ago). I'm now 41. I too am a bit afraid of what women will think of me but the women I have recently dated didn't even comment it. She rather commented she didn't like double pierced nipples lol.
Hello! What size is advisable to start with please? 6mm or 8mm?
Hi! If you're getting a fresh new piercing you should definitely start with a sterile bar that is 10mm or 12mm in size to allow room for natural swelling during the healing process. Only once it is fully healed would I recommend trying an 8mm bar for a snug fit because 6mm can be too small for most standard piercings
@@l.jnailtherapy1078 thank you🫶🏽
OH I replied from the wrong account but you're welcome! ☺️
@@laurenjenine 😆
great vid! love the buzzcut:)
Can you do an updated video on your belly piercing? And your tattoos and other piercings too? (: This is a super helpful video!
Aw I'm glad it helped! And I definitely want to, this channel is a bit of a mess but I reckon that would be fun!
Good stuff I recommend you get a Venture4 micro fiber towel they never smell and dry in minutes no more rancid smell from cotton towels
Love your accent
Haha thank you! I initially thought "What accent?" 😂 But you must not be from Australia so hello from far away!
@@laurenjenine yes ma'am, Texas here
What kind of jewelry will look good on a male belly.
Good question! I think hoops/rings are great for men as they're less blingy and don't get caught as much but if you like crystals you can get the standard curved barbell/Banana Bell with black crystals or in a black plated steel or titanium for a more masculine feel! (But that's not a rule, I think men can rock anything they want!)
@@laurenjenine thank you a lot Lauren. Hoping to get it done soon.
Ooh that's so exciting! You got this!
That looks like a WAHL clipper. I had one and it struggled at times with my hair. By the 10 month mark, it was so loud that it went into the trash. I switched to a german brand, Braun, for only a few dollars more than the Wahl costs. Have had it for over a year and it still trims like a dream.
Wifey material right there 🙏💕❤️😘🔥
She looks absolutely gorgeous and ur rockin that Buzz cut Beautiful lady Thanks for sharing much love and Blessings to you ❤️❤️❤️💯
Thank you so much lovely 🥰
Wow what a beautiful bellybutton. Super cute in close up🥺🥰😚👌
You're so organised!
Haha yes! A mess in a small space just gets magnified 😂
Why, just why?
free will brotha
Too bad you don’t live in the States and you could teach me how to invest and build a retirement financial portfolio;)
Hahaha but I may have been able to stay on the road longer in the States! Would love to visit some day!
@@laurenjenine It’s nice in California. The politics are a bummer however, the people are friendly and the state is stunning;) Malibu, Monterey, Napa, Healdsburg, Palos Verde, San Diego. You’d love it;)
Petrol is outrageous because of the pandemic globally. Food is more expensive. Everything is more expensive. You are free to trade one adventure for another at any given time no explanation needed. Enjoy your flat. You can still visit nature. Gaia honors you and my soul honors your soul. ❤️
Right! Thank you for your lovely comment, I feel seen and understood 🥰
@@laurenjenine Soul family you are the light that helps others see. May you always be blessed hugs 🤗.

HI LAUREN, WE USED TO HAVE A JEEP LIKE YOURS, BUT IT HAD A BACK TIRE, A BUBBLE HOOD, IT LOOKED NEW LIKE YOURS, NICE. WE JUNKED OURS, STAY PRAYED UP, MAY THE ANGELS PROTECT YOU.
Thanks for sharing what you do. Wheredo you sleep?
You're welcome! We found anywhere that was legal to park overnight and generally near toilets were the two main things to look for, most often at a park or beach or outside an Anytime Fitness although definitely not very glamorous haha
@@laurenjenine oh i meant in the vehicle because your things are in the majority space:)
@@lifemyway200 Oooooh hahah! At first we would do a nightly "conversion" where we put all our stuff in the front seats so we could sleep on the bed and then in the morning put it all back again so we could drive 😂 Was quite a hassle at that point so I made a platform with storage underneath in another video if you're interested :D th-cam.com/video/2jU0PsBDijU/w-d-xo.html

This is the most sincere outlook of car life. You can always be a weekend warrior if you want to with your car. There are campsites nearby for you to appreciate nature as well.
vanlife4ever!
wow!
just a suggestion.. you could try doing doordash on the side. you could even scoop an electric bike to use for it so youre not concerned about gas or maintenance. this way you can earn a little bit of income on your own time
ITS TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE! I live in my Car, and it has its pros and cons. And the cons you said I relate too a lot, the Gas prices are crazy right now, and the weather living in a car is difficult. It isn’t for everybody.
@@laurenjenine I work the majority of the week, so I use the microwaves and fridges that they in the lunch room for my food. If I’m not working then I’ll eat out.
Yup, same here in Austin.
Thanks for sharing the reality of it for you. Truth is, most people do not need to work out or shower EVERY day. Nip it down to 2-3 times a week and go EXPLORE. You don't need a lot of $$ to explore in much of nature. Go do some earthing/grounding in actual nature and you should feel a good bit of your stress drop away. Also, invest in some books about natural medicinal plants that grow in your area and about foraging for naturally growing foods in your are. God made the Earth to provide for us. You just have to know what to look for and where to look for it. Many blessings to you!
@@laurenjenine I am confident that because you want to find a workable solution to let you continue the wonderful nomadic lifestyle, you absolutely will!
U r looking like a nerd
Hi, Lauren. Your video is so calming. I can’t wait to be back in the car 🥹 seeing that sun peak through gives me wonderful memories. Glad to have come across your channel ❤️
Try getting a crock pot, you can cook so much in it
Such a good and informative video! I just had mine done and i have to say you are gorgeous 😍😍😍😍😢
Forget the glam...STACK YO MONEY!!!
Yes agreed!!! I'm doing the car life as well before van life aka even mat just be trying I get an SUV I'm loving this lifestyle honestly!!!
