Crazy 72-Hour Stealth Camped In Chicago To Do This|No One Suspected A Thing|Ep.242

[@SwEaTy-b]

I have been binging your content for days now. I am very sick and in quarantine for 4 years now so I feel like I'm out there exploring the world with you. When you cook and eat...it will inspire me to eat something too...which is a big struggle for me. I am so glad I clicked on the shoe video when it came up in my suggested videos!! Just wanted you to know there's an old lady in Detroit who appreciates you so much ❤️ and hope you keep on keeping on!!!

Yes, I stopped by Stan’s donut for my favorite coconut cake doughnut. Then next-door, I grabbed a bag of popcorn at Garrett’s. Trader Joe’s and whole foods are within a few blocks for salads and carry out. Nando’s, for carry out ,was next to where you are standing. Good news-you saw whole foods and target and Garrett’s

Last year when you visited the Santa Baby bar I put that on my bucket list too. Take care Nomie ❤

[@sarahromero1719]

Get earplugs from Walgreens. They block the noise out almost completely if you get them inserted right. You squeeze while turning the plug until it's narrow and really fast you have to get it in the ear before it expands again. They make you sleep like a baby. I got them from an airbnb in Florida, and one night I stayed at this homeless shelter, and the ladies were snoring so loud I wished I had them with me. You can wear them a few times. You would sleep so good you might wake up in an impound lot because you didn't hear the knock though LOL!
