WEEKLY VLOG: the final downsizing of the Kitchen & my thoughts before we move into the bus...omg

[@balicard00]

A tip for the cat tent, purchase it before you move into the bus so you can look it over for damage and get kitty used to it before your limited on space i'd also recommend leash/harness training just in case you need it and if she isn't already comfortable in a carrier leave it out so she interact with it regularly and it becomes a normal thing

[@mariannetuite7411]

100% all of this

[@MyDriftingDesk]

omg of course! she's been loving it so far the past 3 weeks

[@youreinvalid8493]

Yesss love the longer vlogs so much, your vlogs are fr my favourite videos on KZbin ❤

[@MyDriftingDesk]

OMG YAY!! so so glad you love these too!

[@alexaofelia2750]

20:10 MY JAW IS ON THE FLOOR... almost every weekend I decide i need a "mental health day", i'll spend a full afternoon rotting on the couch, and then cant figure out why i feel like garbage after. The concept of "allowing different forms of self-care to fill different Cups (mental/physical/emotional)" is low-key life changing. Maybe i can tell myself this, have a rot day, NOT feel like garbage cause I'm intentionally resting my body with no expectation of fulfilling my Mental Cup.... and then idk ill just go outside and touch grass or something 🤣

[@MyDriftingDesk]

HAHAH LITERALLY ME!!! I need a rot day. But I also need something mentally fulfilling or I’ll feel like garbage hahah. Rotting is great for my body, but not my mind 🙃

[@mediocrepoetry]

I know you're made your choices already (nice!), but any single-use items may quickly outstay their welcome. A fork can be a whisk. A steel coffee mug can be an unbreakable water glass or a wine glass. A 1 cup measure can be a ladle, etc. Tons of camping experience has taught me the value of multiuse items. :)

[@MyDriftingDesk]

Honestly, I feel dumb not thinking like this hahaha. This is so true!! Especially with the ladle etc. 🙃 thank you for this!!!

[@patty9321]

I love Beyla on the furniture in the background.

[@MyDriftingDesk]

She’s a weirdo 😂😂😂

[@heathermcneelyy]

Girl stop, "Tolerate it" playing in the background you're killing me. Literally just watched the Eras Tour on Disney+ the other day and sobbed during that part, it's just such a gorgeous song and the lyrics hit wayyyy too hard

[@MyDriftingDesk]

LITERALLY!!! I always loved the song but the visuals from the tour really made it hit harder 😭😭

[@nedtechgirl]

OMG not kitty with the outstretch paw ❤❤❤ I CANT! She’s so FREAKING cute 😊

[@MyDriftingDesk]

She’s the CUTEST when she does that 😭😭😭😭

[@mariannetuite7411]

I store all my perishables in those containers even in a regular size kitchen, they’re great. Keep your little pair of espresso cups. Since you’re getting a new machine in the bus, you’re almost certainly going to need/use them. And they’re super cute!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

Thanks for justifying them for me 😂😂 I’m keeping them 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@goofysnowoman6857]

Loved thre video! Can't wait to see the bus move in. I love the ranty parts in the vlogs because I also feel like it's a little facetime chatty moment. It helps me get things done with some body doubling 😅. They're also a style of video I rewatch often because depending on what you (or any other youtuber) are working on, I do that task with you.

[@goofysnowoman6857]

Girl I need this bookish merch ASAP 😍

[@MyDriftingDesk]

I literally love this 🥹🫶🏼 THANK YOU!! Also, date TBD 🤭🤭

[@tefisolano14]

yayy we love a longer vlog💖✨

[@MyDriftingDesk]

YAYAY!! love that you love these too!!

[@jaimebh30]

Awesome job downsizing! It is giving me motivation to slowly go through my kitchen. I hope you, Cohen, the dogs, and kitty have a great week!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

Do it do it!!! This felt SO good. Even not moving into a bus, I don’t know why we had so many things. It feels so much better to have LESS and only have the things we truly reach for and love and are useful for our lifestyle.

[@iris_ivory]

keep the Nalgene for the dogs and emergencies. They can hold boiling water. I’m from TX, during the 2020 power outage I slept in my sleeping bag and put a Nalgene w/ boiling water between my legs. It kept me warm all night long.

[@MyDriftingDesk]

omg I had no idea! So smart! Thank you!

[@jackieee.3]

marissa i just wanna say i loveee these long videos

[@MyDriftingDesk]

🥹🫶🏼 THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@Wolfiewolf1234]

These are my favorite types of vlogs!!! Plz keep doing them!!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

The next vlog is the final decluttering of the closet 😅

[@nataliaalesencova7309]

I love how Beyla just hangs out on top of empty furniture in the background 😂

[@MyDriftingDesk]

SHES CRAZY HAHAHA

[@sulaimagolam7834]

I have the tiniest drawers and my Joseph and Joseph cutlery organiser is A LIFE SAVER! If you looking for something more compact for silverware I’d recommend it !

[@MyDriftingDesk]

literally bought one after getting a few comments about this brand!

[@BrooklynBaker-bc2ew]

Nya's howl is so cute!! I love watching you!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

😂 she’s our guard dog for sure lol.

[@JordynLynnia]

Also also you should consider getting a lap desk maybe or something along those lines

[@MyDriftingDesk]

We have one! 🩷 we got it when kohen had surgery & was in bed for a while but it’s coming with us :)

[@tallicagirl]

Marissa, which projector do you have? I'm looking for one that's licensed to play Netflix and is bright enough for daytime like yours...

[@MyDriftingDesk]

[@OctoberFaye138]

Aww Kitty 🖤🤍

[@MyDriftingDesk]

a perfect angel 🥹🩷

[@janelle4700]

Totally agree with the mental health and physical health thing! Also love ur Hollywood feed t shirt where did u get it?

[@MyDriftingDesk]

I got it at my local Hollywood Feed! They had them for sale at the checkout. They’re so cute!!

[@Elizabeth_Stephen]

I can't express how much I LOVE your video, I wait for them all week 💗 What days do U post

[@MyDriftingDesk]

😭😭🫶🏼 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! With the bus renovations my schedule has been all over the place. So really it’s whenever I can get to editing right now. But before it was every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday and I think once we’re in the bus officially I can do Tuesday & Thursday. So who knows hahaha 🙃😅😂

[@tefisolano14]

I love matcha💚 but I will admit it does taste like grass lol

[@MyDriftingDesk]

😂😂😂 at least you like it lmfao

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

The last 5 days of March!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

WOO HOO!!!

[@heresalook]

35:15 I also think matcha tastes like grass 😂

[@MyDriftingDesk]

THANK YOU!! Haha

[@morganbruce8090]

Ahhhh Kohen and I have the same Owala!

[@MyDriftingDesk]

I LOVE the handles ones!!!

[@balicard00]

You should also write down the tracking # for items you decant just in case it's recalled

[@MyDriftingDesk]

^ genius too! thank you!

[@yes24__]

tbh you don't need those air tight containers i think food stays better in the original container it's in

[@MyDriftingDesk]

I explained for a few minutes why we got these other than for the “freshness”

[@mariannetuite7411]

Joseph Joseph make great space saving cutlery/knife organisers

[@MyDriftingDesk]

literally bought it after seeing this comment!

[@yes24__]

also don't worry about things matching

[@MyDriftingDesk]

I explained why the sizing matters. Not so much “matching” as in aesthetics. We’re talking building logistics…

[@yes24__]

@@MyDriftingDeskokay ❤ i'm excited for you! do you watch a lot of van life people!

[@Wolfiewolf1234]

My votes take the wine glasses instead of the straight ones. That's what I'd do lol

[@MyDriftingDesk]

But I love the little bubbles on the straight ones 😂

[@JordynLynnia]

Are you taking your bike with you on the bus?

[@MyDriftingDesk]

I won’t be. She’ll be in storage 🫶🏼

[@yes24__]

make sure to think about the negatives about being in a bus as well... there are a lot :/

[@MyDriftingDesk]

There’s pros and cons to everything of course.
