Hi Lulu! I'm Lila! Just found your TH-cam.And I LOVE it! I'm 76, not in good health and would love to live in my tiny camper! I'll be following you and living through your ventures! You're Great!
Thank you for sharing your cozy morning with us! To some people that would feel like rigamarole but, from your peaceful demeanor and big smile, it's clear that you flourish in attention-to-detail and structure!
hi there!! YES, the feel you got from me is correct!! I'm not looking for an easier way, I'm not searching for less rigamarole, I enjoy the structure and I enjoy the process!! I'm so glad you are here!! Lulu
@@LulusWay64 We'd all be better off if we listened to our inner joy more and the voices of the world less. You are showing how it's done with each video. Thank you, thank you!
I ABSOLUTELY 💯 LOVE watching your videos and all you adventures. I'm 61 and and divorced. I would love doing this! It's awesome seeing you doing this on your own. Keep it up and stay safe. Keep the videos coming. They are amazing!❤❤
You looked cozy as could be! It is the creature comforts that can make it better. Whatever kind of creature you are or comforts that make you happy! Looking forward to hearing about your cabin adventure.
Hey Lulu, I'm a full-time Van lifer from upstate NY but now in Arizona! Just found your channel and live the honesty and content! Stay safe my fellow nomad!🚐👍
You are such a treat Lulu. Thank you for sharing your meal with us. I hope more are to come with us.I love seeing how disciplined you are with food - weighing it for your health. It’s very inspiring. You mentioned in another video that you lost a lot of weight. Let us know how you did it. Do you exercise also? What do you do…you look very fit and vibrant? Life is good. Thank you for your positiveness. You are a strong lady.
hello! I eat well, I eat balanced, I eat whole foods, I eat natural and organic food, I take lots of supplements and I do exercise, I'm naturally active. I'm spiritually well too, which contributes to health in the ultimate way. once I made the firm decision to change, then I did!!!
Thanks for sharing your morning! After doing a lot of research about instant coffee, I have completely dumped the coffee making, both when traveling and at my house. The instant coffees these days are not what our parents had! (Freeze dried, yuck!) I have a small, foldable kettle and I make one cup of coffee every morning and that is all. I look forward to it everyday!
I live in sticks and bricks and I prefer an instant coffee as perked is too strong for me... but if I don't have 18% cream then I don't want any coffee
You are doing just fine. In fact you quickly becoming one of my favorite van dweller's. I like you a lot. I am a 62 year old disabled widow who longs to do what you are doing. Just keep being yourself. I know I will be watching. Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us.
Missed seeing you yesterday, Lulu! Nice little set-up on your breakfast routine. Thank you for sharing! "Happy trails to you, until we meet again." 🎶 🎵
Awesome! I took notes about what you have for breakfast and the info about nuts. I am learning so much great stuff from you. You are a wealth of information! Is there a book to reference regarding your food choices? Would appreciate it. In-joy, thank you! Oh yeah, I just want to let you know that every time I watch your videos, you leave a smile on my face and heart. This world needs to have more people like you to light up the world!
It would be very difficult to dislike you, Lulu! I love how organised you are and how having such good little systems everywhere means you can live comfortably and have breakfast in bed! Presumably your cat was staying elsewhere at this time? This is only the second video of yours that I have seen so please forgive me if I've missed a large part of the story! I'll catch up in due time! 😀
hi Amanda!! thanks for your note!! my cat lives in my house, and is very well taken care of others that love her as much as I do, when I hit the road. have fun catching up and I'm glad you are here! Lulu
I’m a new subscriber to your channel & enjoying it so much. I’m 79 & have been a strict vegetarian for 38 years .... not vegan. I have never gone organic as the FDA oversight of organic food production & farm certification when I became a vegetarian 38 years ago was very iffy at best. I was all my produce in household vinegar which has a higher PH (more acidic) & rinse well. I have given a lot of consideration to “ the dirty dozen” but not yet made changes to organic for those items. I am working my way through all your videos to present & hope you will continue to share your grocery shopping & cooking/recipes with each if your episodes. Love how you share but not proselytize everything. Congratulations on your lifestyle changes & redirection in your life journey. Live, stay safe & be well 🙃.
Gosh, I signed up as your 77th subscriber or something close to that, and just two weeks later you have 1,500 subs. Hope your channel will subside your travels, LuLu. It’s well deserved.
hello again!! I don't have an accent, you have an accent!! hahaha LOL - just google about nuts and mold and you perhaps will understand it better. food is a complicated intricate interesting subject!! have a good night!! Lulu
Unless you're using it for something else, store your coffee scoop in the jar with the beans. It's always where you need it. One less thing to store separately in your coffee basket. Interesting breakfast recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful! You make vanlife look sooooo cozy and comfy. Thanks for sharing your recipes too. I'm going to copy some of your meals and dietary habits. I'm not gaining weight but I've been trying to lose the same 20 lbs for years! I hope your diet will help me. It looks nutritious and yummy too! Blessings!☺️🤗
hi there!! yeah, the last pesky 20 lbs are the tough ones to drop. but just stick to and keep consistent with healthy nourishing meals in proper portion sized and you will achieve!! Lulu
Hi Lulu ❤ Glad you started a channel. You really encouraged me to want to lose weight. I’m a 120 lbs overweight. I just started clean eating. 😬 it’s challenging but I’m 65 and need to get serious about my health. Hoping to meet you on the road soon. ❤
hi Trish!! thanks for your note. getting serious about your health is a fabulous wise decision. keep eating clean and you will lose weight and feel better!! stay on track!! I'm glad you are here!! Lulu
With my health my biggest worry when I travel is heat. The AC in my van does not work and I have a wiring issue with my front windows. I am going to awesome possum van works March 11 to see if he can diagnose and fix wiring issues and I plan on picking up a couple of screens for my two sliding doors. I am in a 2010 wheelchair dodge grand caravan. Safe Travels 😁🚐❤️👍🏻🐾
@@LulusWay64 yes, ma’am, if I was full-time, that’s exactly what I would do. Currently due to family issues I am still tied to my tiny cabin in Texas and I have custody of my eight-year-old special-needs grandson. I am trying to figure out Unschooling and how to can comfortably travel in a minivan. 🚐🐾❤️👍🏻😁
I love your videos!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE them ❤️😍💖❣️ Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories. I live in a country which does not permit living in vehicles and am currently planning to move away from here. Watching videos like yours is keeping me sane until I can put my plan into action!!
hi Georgina!!! enjoy the journey from today to when you plan is in action, it's half the fun!! thanks for your nice note to me! I'm so glad you are here!!
Hi Lulu! I've been watching YT videos about van camping for about two years, but seeing your interview today about your switch to the (Ram) City van shared SO many tips that I thought were ingenious. Thanks! You might like to take a look at a teeny, but real workhorse, low amp electric cooker (TLOG on Amazon) that'll cook oatmeal and hard boil eggs in one batch; or rice/beans and steam veggies, for another meal. I love mine so much I pack it every time I head to Hawaii (son lives there) into my 21" suitcase, to cook my meals (sames lots of $$). One meal in that little gem only uses an amp. Another great gem is the HotLogic (also Amazon). Plugs into AC, it's a hot plate in an insulated bag. A frozen "Amy's" vegetarian meal cooks for about 1.5 hours while you're driving. Anyway...one tip traded for another. Pleasant journeys!!
Girl, I drank 40 + cups of coffee a day for so many years, with milk and sugar to keep me awake for my children, husband and years in college to stay awake, coffee was my addiction it help me get my degrees, soon after last graduation, doctor told me NO MORE CAFFEINE, I CRIED big time, no coffee 18 yrs. But, a few shirt years ago I started back up again 2 cups a day only and 1 teaspoon of coffee pot cup, no sugar but have to have my hazelnut cream and Hershey chocolate. Other wise I'm a very healthy eater, vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc. No jitters, love my coffee & veggies! Thank you for fun videos. Sister nomad here,2 yrs. praying for you, thank you...
Just ran across your channel, I been binge watching. I Love everything about you. Thank God for you. I enjoy your fun and adventurous spirit, your humor having me in stitches. The pins in your eye then do disney🤣. God Bless you LuLu!!! Thanks for sharing your world.
I do not know how your channel was suggested to me, but my goodness Lulu I am so thankful it was! I love your channel and am on my own journey! I had lost the weight then thought well I am good now and went back to my habits. Now I am having to reprogram that GPS! Recalculating like you say haha! But this time for good! Time to take my joy back and live! Thank you for sharing your journey!!!
hello and thanks for writing!! yes, I know that scenario all to well, it was the story of my life, until I created a new story!! yes, it's time to take your joy back!! you are worth all the time and effort involved in taking good care of yourself!! I'm glad you are here!! Lulu 😊
Until I get into my own little van, this video will remain my favorite of all your others, Lulu 😊! I get to pretend I'm in my own van, enjoying the morning like you so joyously did in this one. The last bit with you snuggled up grinning with your coffee is priceless. I've visited this video so often now, I think it's getting a bit tired of me 😂.
One thing I've noticed is the way you lay your ice chest. I've never seen anyone store it that way before. You can do that since you use the frozen bricks instead of loose ice. I love it.
Temperature always drops at night, always carry something a little extra to help with that, as can occur at 2am or much earlier in the night. Love the video, love that your out and about. 🇬🇧
I’m loving your morning routine. Thank you for showing us your adventures in real-time. Also that breakfast looks delicious. And I m goin to try that with nuts.
Just found your channel. I subscribed and watched your other videos. You are living the life I want when I retire in 10 years. Can't wait to follow your journey.
😯 you know you could toast cheese on that coffee metal bottom heater by putting your metal pan that you we're eating out of on the coffee metal bottle after you have finish making coffee remove the glass coffee pot then put your cooking pan on the heated metal. Don't unplug the coffee maker put you a little butter in the pan and put you some bread in the pan and put a little slice of cheese or whatever in another slice of bread on top then put a lid on let It toast you have a nice cheese toast sandwich with a little natural preserve spread on the inside of the bread. Or you can steam your little yams or sweet potatoes. Oh by the way did your coffee maker warm up the place a little?😯
Hi Lulu, I came across your video one day and you were showing your build and I really like it❤ also it great that you are enjoying Van life so much :) I want to get out there sometime soon this year. Maybe I’ll see you, take care.
hi Kiria!! I have bare metal walls and ceiling in here. the only condensation I have been experiencing in this van is on the ceiling just over my head when I wake up, it's not dripping, just moist. but I don't have insulation or wood on the walls, so I don't think anything would mold. anyway, we'll see how it goes!! Lulu
I love watching your videos. I have to agree that you have a lot of pieces for making coffee. I use a French press. I put my scoop with the beans since that is the only time I use it. I have used all different types of coffee contraptions & find the press to be the most space saving & safe. Oh, & after tweaking the recipe, my coffee is perfect. I, too had to reduce the strength to stop the jitters. And only have 1 cup compared to coffee all day and evening in days of yore! Hope to meet you someday in our travels. And thank you for your great videos. You really make my day.
Good morning Lulu it’s 55degrees where I am in Florida. But it will be toasty warm in a little bit. Have a great day. Thanks for sharing your morning Hugs from Karen in Florida 🌴💕 2:40
Hi Lulu, I love your Van life. You are the best TH-camr. You said you found your way of the healthy lifestyle after 55 years. I found mine after 65 years. I am from Canada, love your videos and May be meet you one day. Enjoy and be safe. ❤
OH, LULU, YOU ARE SO MUCH FUN! i'M TRYING TO FIND ME A VAN CAMPER SO I CAN "MOVE"!!!! I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE OF THESE MICHIGAN WINTERS. I DON'T DRINK COFFEE BUT IT SMELLS GOOD!
I just found your channel this morning. Now this after noon another video came up. You make me smile , WITH the Boston accent. I miss Boston and Portland Me. But now I found your videos. I'm a fan of Dr. WAYNE DYER also. Thank you for your enthusiasm and joy. Safe travels LUlu 💜🕊
I so enjoy seeing how you utilize your rig-the napkins & spray bottle neatly placed in a basket for easy access. Ingenious👍 I have been wondering how you socialize? I want to experiment with your philosophy of food & socializing do not go together. However-main stream gatherings are almost always centered around food. Thanks Lulu 🙏✌🌎💞
hi there!! yes, but just because the gatherings are centered around food, there is not rule that I need to be there and stay focused on food. while everybody else is focused on the food, I focus on the people or the beauty of where I am, I socialize, I laugh, I have a blast wherever I go. I fit in wherever I go. I've discovered that nobody really cares about what I'm eating, only what they are eating themselves. I take care of me first!! Lulu
What a delight you are! I have been trying to figure out how I can make my coffee while on the road. I love freshly ground beans. I also have a small, Mr. coffee and a percolator. From watching your video now I know I can use my Jackery to grind the beans and make the coffee. I will ditch the percolator and leave it home. 😂 I am 74 and how nice it is to know that I can do this. Keep the videos coming. I just love your channel!😘
I love coffee!!!! At 77, it starts my day. For whatever it's worth. ... Always have a backup plan for your coffee. What will you do, if you can't recharge your Jackery for some reason? I have 4 cup drip coffee maker. Also have a percolator for times when the grid is down. It can be used on a stove or over a campfire. Even a Dakota firepit, if the need arises.
I just landed on your site as well. Knew you were a Bostonian like myself. Love the way you set your life up. I’m trying to do the same. You gave me some great tips and get up and go.
Lulu, I am very interested in your weight loss, healthy eating program. I am doing intermediate fasting . How did you learn how to weigh your food before eating? Please share what you have learned. There are so many of us struggling with obesity. This would be a real blessing to learn about your success story. Also I am also interested in joining your study group if you are inviting new people in. I love your energy! I go right along with you in your adventures traveling. I am 75 now and if I could get this excess fat off my body I believe I would have more energy like you…….you are so young at heart and I admire you!
weighing food before eating is nothing more complicated than portion control. if a portion of rice is 5 oz. and I would tend to overdo it and eat more, weighing the food helps keep portions correct. the study group is closed but perhaps a new group could be formed at some point. we'll see how that plays out!! I'm glad you are here, Joy! Lulu
hi Toni!! I'm not full-time either!! maybe one day I will be, but for now I take trips two to three months long, I LOVE IT!! oh, I loved my minivan camper in my DGC, I hope you love yours!! Lulu
Hi, Lulu 😊. I agree with the hot and cold - I prefer cold over hot 😅. So why do I live in Phoenix? I still have not figured this out! 😂. Love your videos - they are good medicine for all of us. ❤

hi Marty!! thanks for your wonderful note to me!! I'm so glad you are here!! Lulu
Lower pH= higher acidity. Higher pH = higher alkalinity. Your chemistry lesson for the day😌
Nice to see you relaxing this morning! FYI - Candida is a yeast, but it is good to rinse all your food if you can. Happy day!
Thank you for letting us see your morning. I wish you the happiest adventures
I bet I'd like the fresh coffee beans bet it's good Lulu. God bless 🌹🤗
soooooo good!! worth the real estate it takes up in my tiny van!!
Lulu you are adorable! Wish you the best on your travels!
Thanks Lulu 👍❤️🙏safe travels!

I love to hear your New England accent! I’ve never heard about nuts having mold. All I know is if I eat them too much I get heartburn terrible.

One thing I've noticed is the way you lay your ice chest. I've never seen anyone store it that way before. You can do that since you use the frozen bricks instead of loose ice. I love it.
yes!! my friend made that suggestion and it's ingenious!!!
Hi Lulu have a good day traveling 💗.
Temperature always drops at night, always carry something a little extra to help with that, as can occur at 2am or much earlier in the night. Love the video, love that your out and about. 🇬🇧
Thank you for taking the time to make all these indormative and realistic videos!!! All the best for you!🤗🤗🤗
thanks so much for your sweet message to me!! I'm so glad you are here! Lulu
I make my tea the night before and take the thermos and a hot water bottle to bed with me. The tea is the perfect temperature to drink when I wake up!
that's a clever idea!!
Oh Lulu - you’re great! I’m so glad I found you, the girl that has life down to a science. I appreciate your attitude…
hi Dana!! thanks for your nice note, you made me smile!! I'm so glad you found me too!! Lulu
I’m loving your morning routine. Thank you for showing us your adventures in real-time. Also that breakfast looks delicious. And I m goin to try that with nuts.
hi Eliz!! oh yes, it's delish!! I hope you agree!! I'm glad you are here!! Lulu
You are marvelous!!!
👍❤️🌱🤗
So happy for you!
I love your videos honey. You are so adorable and I love your Boston accent. I’m from New England as well. Go Red Sox. 😊
Just found your channel. I subscribed and watched your other videos. You are living the life I want when I retire in 10 years. Can't wait to follow your journey.
hi Taraann!! your day will come, enjoy the dreaming and scheming and planning stages, those are fun too!! I'm glad you are here!! Lulu
New day for me finding your channel too. Love Cracker Barrel ! I would have to go eat inside at least once ! Your Nomad home looks comfy & cozy
hi Carol, I'm glad you are here!! Lulu
Love it! You are like me. Step by step prepare, clean, eat, relax, purrrr.
ALWAYS!!! lol thanks for your note, Lulu
😯 you know you could toast cheese on that coffee metal bottom heater by putting your metal pan that you we're eating out of on the coffee metal bottle after you have finish making coffee remove the glass coffee pot then put your cooking pan on the heated metal. Don't unplug the coffee maker put you a little butter in the pan and put you some bread in the pan and put a little slice of cheese or whatever in another slice of bread on top then put a lid on let It toast you have a nice cheese toast sandwich with a little natural preserve spread on the inside of the bread. Or you can steam your little yams or sweet potatoes. Oh by the way did your coffee maker warm up the place a little?😯
thanks for the idea!! Lulu
Great breakfast routine.. was Ching as I am preparing my coffee!
Hi Lulu, I came across your video one day and you were showing your build and I really like it❤ also it great that you are enjoying Van life so much :) I want to get out there sometime soon this year. Maybe I’ll see you, take care.
hi Darlene!! I'm so glad you are here!! your day will come, and you will love it too!! Lulu
"Not going to end well" Haha... love your new setup. Can't believe all your coffee supplies fit in that box.
I was shocked they all fit in one bin too, but they all fit in perfectly, not even crowded!! this cube storage system is working well. Lulu
You are too gosh darn cute Lulu. :) Have a blessed day. Until next time.
hello Raylene!! thanks for such a sweet note, I appreciate it!! Lulu 😊
Thanks for all the handy tips Gran!
Talking of mould, how do you get rid of dampness/condensation at night in your van, which causes mould ?
hi Kiria!! I have bare metal walls and ceiling in here. the only condensation I have been experiencing in this van is on the ceiling just over my head when I wake up, it's not dripping, just moist. but I don't have insulation or wood on the walls, so I don't think anything would mold. anyway, we'll see how it goes!! Lulu
I love watching your videos. I have to agree that you have a lot of pieces for making coffee. I use a French press. I put my scoop with the beans since that is the only time I use it. I have used all different types of coffee contraptions & find the press to be the most space saving & safe. Oh, & after tweaking the recipe, my coffee is perfect. I, too had to reduce the strength to stop the jitters. And only have 1 cup compared to coffee all day and evening in days of yore! Hope to meet you someday in our travels. And thank you for your great videos. You really make my day.
hi CC!! thanks for your nice note!! I'm so glad you are here!! Lulu
You’re welcome!
Good morning Lulu it’s 55degrees where I am in Florida. But it will be toasty warm in a little bit. Have a great day. Thanks for sharing your morning
Hugs from Karen in Florida 🌴💕 2:40
yes, the nights are typically cool which is wonderful for sleeping well, then it can heat up all day, glorious bright sunshine!!! YAY!!
Hi Lulu, I love your Van life. You are the best TH-camr. You said you found your way of the healthy lifestyle after 55 years. I found mine after 65 years. I am from Canada, love your videos and May be meet you one day. Enjoy and be safe. ❤
hi there!! we all find our way at different times in our lives. I'm glad you hear you found your way too!! I'm glad you are here! Lulu
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing them with us. Stay safe, sending many blessings your way 🌻
hello!! thanks for your note!! I appreciate it!! glad you are here! Lulu
OH, LULU, YOU ARE SO MUCH FUN! i'M TRYING TO FIND ME A VAN CAMPER SO I CAN "MOVE"!!!! I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE OF THESE MICHIGAN WINTERS. I DON'T DRINK COFFEE BUT IT SMELLS GOOD!
I'm the same way......like a COLD ❄ bedroom and be cosy in 🛏 bed.
Incredibly informative
I am fascinated
Thx.
Your going to love the instant my Hagens it makes everything super simple. Just have to heat water and done
I just found your channel this morning. Now this after noon another video came up.
You make me smile , WITH the Boston accent.
I miss Boston and Portland Me.
But now I found your videos.
I'm a fan of Dr. WAYNE DYER
also. Thank you for your enthusiasm and joy. Safe travels
LUlu 💜🕊
hi Cynthia!! I'm so happy you found my channel!! so glad you are here!! Lulu
I did not know that about nuts learn something every day 😄
Hello. I'm a new friend and find you delightful. Can't wait to see more. What a wonderful lady you are. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
wow, thanks Carol for such a lovely note to me!! I'm so happy to know you are enjoying my channel. I'm so glad you are here! Lulu
I so enjoy seeing how you utilize your rig-the napkins & spray bottle neatly placed in a basket for easy access. Ingenious👍 I have been wondering how you socialize? I want to experiment with your philosophy of food & socializing do not go together. However-main stream gatherings are almost always centered around food. Thanks Lulu 🙏✌🌎💞
hi there!! yes, but just because the gatherings are centered around food, there is not rule that I need to be there and stay focused on food. while everybody else is focused on the food, I focus on the people or the beauty of where I am, I socialize, I laugh, I have a blast wherever I go. I fit in wherever I go. I've discovered that nobody really cares about what I'm eating, only what they are eating themselves. I take care of me first!! Lulu
@@LulusWay64 hmm. I will have to try this concept 👍🤗
Enjoy your common sense attitude! Blessings in your travels!
hi there!! thanks for your nice note!! thanks for being here! Lulu
What a delight you are! I have been trying to figure out how I can make my coffee while on the road. I love freshly ground beans. I also have a small, Mr. coffee and a percolator. From watching your video now I know I can use my Jackery to grind the beans and make the coffee. I will ditch the percolator and leave it home. 😂 I am 74 and how nice it is to know that I can do this. Keep the videos coming. I just love your channel!😘
hi Elaine!! when morning coffee is that important, we make it happen!! lol
I love coffee!!!! At 77, it starts my day. For whatever it's worth. ... Always have a backup plan for your coffee. What will you do, if you can't recharge your Jackery for some reason? I have 4 cup drip coffee maker. Also have a percolator for times when the grid is down. It can be used on a stove or over a campfire. Even a Dakota firepit, if the need arises.
Thanks for sharing, I love the real life routine inside the van videos, they're rare! Take care girl
I just landed on your site as well. Knew you were a Bostonian like myself. Love the way you set your life up. I’m trying to do the same. You gave me some great tips and get up and go.
hi Debbie! thanks for your nice note!! so happy that you feel like you got great tips and some inspiration!! YAY!! Lulu
Lulu, I am very interested in your weight loss, healthy eating program. I am doing intermediate fasting . How did you learn how to weigh your food before eating? Please share what you have learned. There are so many of us struggling with obesity. This would be a real blessing to learn about your success story. Also I am also interested in joining your study group if you are inviting new people in.
I love your energy! I go right along with you in your adventures traveling. I am 75 now and if I could get this excess fat off my body I believe I would have more energy like you…….you are so young at heart and I admire you!
weighing food before eating is nothing more complicated than portion control. if a portion of rice is 5 oz. and I would tend to overdo it and eat more, weighing the food helps keep portions correct.
the study group is closed but perhaps a new group could be formed at some point. we'll see how that plays out!!
I'm glad you are here, Joy! Lulu
You are inspiring and the coolest lady, thanks so much for all your videos. Sending blessings
