how to make LIVING IN A CAR more COMFORTABLE | Katie Carney

[@df6069]

Katie, our lives have almost nothing in common - - and so I love watching your videos. I find it so interesting to discover how other people do life. Thanks so much for sharing with all of us and giving us insight into your life. You make my day !

I took my passenger seat out last month. I cut strong storage bins on the bottom to fit the curves on the floor and put a $20 home depot 3 inch foam mattress down. I also put a Japanese sleep mattress on top of that. So comfortable. I was worried about taking the seat out but so happy I did. Now if feels very homey. I have had to give rides this month and they sit on the bed.😀

[@ErickHoxter]

My only fear with taking out the seats is having an occasional passenger. How was it having someone sit on the bed with no back?

[@katiecarney]

So awesome!!! 🙌🏻

[@lionandthelamb9379]

@@ErickHoxter I still have one seat in the driver's side back but if more than two someone sits on the bed. They think it's funny. I'm a bit quirkey though.😄

[@etywrtyjfgj]

@@ErickHoxter Sleeping in a bed is 10x more important than an occasional passenger honestly. I can sleep comfortable in the back in my own odd way of a corolla but trust me that bad is soooo worth it!

[@littlebirdlane]

I'm 2 seconds from this for vacations and retreats. I have a job that allows me to move around. I absolutely thank God for you! You're the reason I've been dreaming of it for a while.

[@snowy4121]

Love this video. I think I've seen all your videos at this point but I'm not sure that you've ever done a video on this or not. Could you talk about the best ways to manage your depression on the road?

[@ChatsWithChris]

This might be really specific to me but I found that getting rid of clothing I no longer fit or like makes me much happier than staring at it. Makes more room for things I want.

[@katiecarney]

Yesss! I always say to only keep what you love and use! So decluttering often is a MUST! 🙌🏻

[@GenerationX3333]

Have a good day sweet Katie.. Thanks for all your videos- I watch them everyday

[@rebeccaswilling1771]

Love your list. I would put some cozy fairy lights in when it gets dark. I have some blue lights that plug into the cigarette lighter plug. And how about some comfort snacks and drinks would be good. Great video

Hi Katie! Another great vid! Some things I do to make my aCARtment "homie" are: I have a mattress that folds right back into the trunk so that I can enjoy a roomy backseat anytime! Also, I have a mini fake potted plant on my dash. And I decorate my rearview mirror for holidays, currently I have st paddy shamrock beads hanging! At night I turn on my color changing lava lamp and on the inside of my self made reflectix window covers are all kinds of positive and motivating stickers that I go to sleep and wake up to. I also like to do puzzles and recently started to crochet!

[@kgreene460]

Acartment, I love that, Ivette, very clever!!

[@katiecarney]

AMAZING! Love this!!! 🙌🏻🥰

[@ciscanoordhoek6854]

Puzzles are very good! Don,t know what kind of puzzleing you do? I like to do all kind of puzzels from a little book and jigsaw puzzels. Have learned from Katie that you even can do them in your car! So thats fun also. 🦋

[@ciscanoordhoek6854]

Great video Katie! I love the idea of making your car homey! It is a spirit lifter! Have a great day!!

[@winterburden]

Thanks Katie, we like being more comfortable! 🙆‍♀️

[@365-steps]

Hi Katie and happy women’s day ❤️ What I like most is the moment when I come back after a sunset walk and then cuddle in a blanket with a smoothie to read an interesting book on my iPhone or iPad while listening to classical music. End of this year, I will have my electric car and I will be able to cook inside, then I will add a nice cup of tea to my comfy evening routine. Have a wonderful day 👋

Hi Katie, nice video, thank you! The Ana Luisa jewelry always looks so SHINEY and beautiful on you!

[@michaelsasylum]

Inspect everything that comes into your car. I had a 6 month bout with bedbugs, I couldn't figure out where they came from, and it took 6 months of treating and killing them to deal with the problem, it was a harrowing experience.

[@johnd1685]

Thank you!!💕

[@rebeccaswilling1771]

Love this video! You have a lot of ideals that are just great!! Love your videos so much

Hi Katie , do you think you'd ever get small van to live in? 🌺

Interesting vlog & great advice for those who are venturing out on the road. Curious on how you deal with your monthly gas budget when prices go sky high?

[@river_dance_500]

I sleep in the passenger seat with the seat down and a pillow for my head.

[@hunterrex232]

[@terrynewell8968]

Hey Katie! You should probably remind people how tiny you are. If I tried to sleep in my front seat, by the 2nd night I probably wouldn't be able to walk. I've been playing a game on line called Words With Friends. Love it. ❤️

[@katiecarney]

You’re right! It does depend on the size of a person. And I’m only about 5’3! But I just talk about what works for me. 🥰

Hi Katie! I hope you are doing well 🤗 These are good tips even if you don’t live in a car.

[@anchovy48]

Sitting/sleeping with sheep skin under you is supposedly good for you… They sell small rug sized ones in ikea.. They are so soft and would fit nicely on a car seat for driving.. Probably great in the winter 😊.. Enjoyable video👏👌

[@LeilanisJourney]

Enjoyed….thanks Katie.

How will the gas price increases impact your life on the road?

[@tafGarcia]

Katie why don’t you build out the passenger side so you can lay down to sleep and you’ll still have room for your things underneath

[@warmbreeze43]

Memory foam instead of pillow. And then just roll it up

Hey Katie thanks for all of the great tips on how to make your car more comfortable but It would be nice for you to do other content like a Meetup, Or another Cooking video or Just vlog hanging out with some friends

[@cellcreative3540]

Wow, this video gave me all the warm fuzzies!! Makes me realize you really can make whatever space you have a comfortable and relaxing space. You could even add a little plant or two! I watch your videos and all the time I'm looking at the space you have and thinking "I could do that in the back or add this..." and really just get creative. This really just gave me all the feels and I love the energy you've been putting out in your videos lately, Katie! Love you girl! Your atheist friend

[@Ascend777]

avoid eye mask that put pressure on your eyeballs because those will cause further astigmatism. use only eyemask that fits comfortably without pressure

Happy women’s day Katie ❤️ I love your decoration on the ceiling. It really is the most Konmari decoration possible in a car. Concerning the succulent: Maybe a Burro’s Tail / donkey tail plant or Flaming Katy (kalanchoe blossfeldiana) could be a good friend in the central area. Have a great day 🍀

[@joanncarr740]

KATIE QUESTION WHAT IS THE PURPOSE TO BE IN A CAR OTHER THEN WANTING. TO. TRAVEL ???? AND NOT HAVEING A APT YOU HAVE TO PAY RENT ON ??? I THINK THAT IS WHY YOU LIVE IN A CAR YOU FO NOT WANT THE RESPONSIBILITY. OF PAYING RENT AND EVERYTHING GOES WITH IT. ! YOU ARE YOUR OWN BOSS. THE ONLY BOSS YOU HAVE IS YOU AND YOUR 🚗 CAR !! BUT IF YOUR CAR BREAKES DOWN YOU HAVE NO PLACE TO LIVE BUT ON THE CAR REPAIR SHOP !! 😊

That was explained in previous videos.

👋 Katie Carney Hi there, WOW! Your a amazing young lady, I applaud you!👏 Katie your so brave to live in your car, I would be so scared, but I know the Lord is watching out for you for sure. Do you have a P.O.BOX # If you don't you should, people would probably like to send you something. But than again you do travel so much, I don't think you can have one, but if you do let us know.👌 I just subscribed to your channel I really enjoy watching you talk about how you survive in a car. Take care Katie Carney, I will keep you in my prayers. Bye. Your fan➡Mary Martinez.🙋 😷😎✌

[@jordanblue5630]

Geezus...Katie's drama and BS never ends. It's not possible to live in a car and be COMFORTABLE. NO...NOPE...NADA. Ok, what does this mean? Again Katie is trying to glorify and validate something impossible and something that's she's probably NOT even doing herself. I think Katie is heavily in the manic part of her Bi-Polar life now. Yeah, I know what direction the replies on this post will be headed. Bring it. I haven't said anything that's not true.

[@deboralangford-belcik2466]
