Just found you. I appreciate your content. I was surprised you didn’t include “baby wipes.” I use them often - washing my hands, refreshing face or arm pits on hot sandy days. Great for wiping off feet before bed. I’ll keep watching.

I'm a new subscriber and have been watching some of your previous videos and just wanted to say that you explain everything so thoroughly that it makes it easy to follow your directions, especially with the drawings to go with everything. Looking forward to enjoying many more with thanks for sharing with us!

I found that baby powder works great to take me from sticky and hot to cool and no friction on my legs and underarms. I'm alone, so I'm happy to be able to sit and lie down and feel good in my skin.

New subscriber and really appreciate your ideas and attitude and sense of humour .

Thank you for sharing your ideas, your channel is great, cheers.

For me, the most important personal cleanliness things are..wipes, lots of wipes, makeup wipes ,also. Tons of clean wash cloths, baby powder, my favorite perfume, toothbrush,toothpaste, eye moisturizer with anti aging ingredients, several facial moisturizers. Deodorant, all are crucial.

We just have to have a lot of travel size toiletries when traveling!! It’s amazing how much we do not need, yet how much we do! Life is just full of little ironies! 😁 Many toiletries can be DIY with pure ingredients you choose, made in personalized size batches, like sunscreen. Mix zinc ointment with a carrier oil, cream, gel (jojoba or aloe for example) at a ratio of your choosing. I also use Dr. Bronners concentrated liquid castile soap for all my cleaning: shampoo, body wash, dish soap, laundry soap, all purpose cleaner. One soap, diluted to different ratios, with multiple uses cuts down on how many products I need to carry with me. I always enjoy and learn something from your videos!

thank you for your input, gr8ly appreciated

I use shampoo and conditioner bars, goats milk soap bar and Zote laundry bar ( which is gentle enough for face and hair use) they take up less space than bottles

Leslie, I use any kind of shampoo . I then rinse my hair with vinegar (and then water!) and use rosemary oil. It leaves it tangle free. do not use a lot of rosemary oil, take the bottle and put your palm of your hand on it tightly turn it upside down and then quickly turn it back. it should have less than a drop on your hand. rub your palms together and run over your hair a few times. it will be so easy to brush. I discovered this when I had hair down to my waist and it was a pain to brush and braid. Its now short .... I guess its "Covid" short about 8 inch pony tails if I wore pony tails LOL I didn't realize it had gotten that long. Haven't had it cut for a year. I think I'll wait for a few more months and then donate it. It will help keep me warm this winter. I must say you have more darn products than I ever had at one time, other than when I was an Avon lady eons ago but as you can see from my avatar not even a minivan full of products would help. I put extra safety pins on my back curtain. I did that because the curtain is snapped onto binding tape that is tied to the hinges of the hatch door and I know some day that they will rip . I pull them off the snaps because I don't drive with them up. I am not too gentle with them. some day I'll make a van tour video.

Here is a facial tip for a scrub. When you are in the shower, wet your face and scrub with plain ole white sugar. Rinse and you have really smooth skin. I actually use it on my legs and arm pits too before I shave. I have noticed the scrub in the arm pit area reduces any razor bumps you might sometimes get. I am assuming the sugar is scrubbing away deodorant and sweat residue and possible bacteria.

Careful Leslie, cuz the second you get rid of that sewing kit is when you're going to need it!

I love going through peoples toiletries!! Thanks for sharing. Didn’t know that Coppertone made anything with enough zinc.

The time you remove the sewing kit from the van will be the time you need it! Have you ever had the solid deodorants melt in the heat of the van? I've been a salt and pepper for years now; short and tidy, no hair products and could even get away without a brush. I will definitely check out that sunscreen. Thanks for sharing.

I'd add clear saline nasal spray. When visiting Arizona, my sinuses were so dry, I bled! The Xclear w capsaicin helped with the pain, too! Also, all little bottles need screw on caps. The pop up caps leak and open.

Your hair looks great as-is 🤷🏻‍♀️

Informative, but at 65 too much stuff. I have found CeraVe to take care of most of my skin needs. I had eczema most of my life along with other skin problems. Now that DH does dishes I don't have as many issues. Except for REALLY dry callused feet. CeraVe conquers it. Dermatologist recommended it no perfumes or added stuff and I swear by it. I use a face cream and considering an eye cream. If you haven't listed the one you use could you reference it for me. I use the individual refresh eye drops. Eye Dr. Recommended to individual as there is no preservative in it. You can get several uses out of the Refresh brand as the top pops back on. One 'vial' small enough to tuck in pocket. How did you wash your hair and shower while traveling? Thanks for the information.

Hello Leslie, Thank you very much for posting a picture and for the response about the shoe rack. I just saw this video last night. 1. I would like to know how can I post the stuff that I use for my Vanlife so that people can buy or order them. And do I need a video for it or just have a photo so they can see it. I'm not a youtube savy like you😊 Please, Do you have a suggestion how can I do a youtube videos thank you very much. Be safe and stay healthy Leslie. Your Vanlife follower & friend Lilynor😍🥰

Ask any questions, you said, so here goes..... Since you didn't add any insulation to your walls or interior roof, I'm wondering if you would recommend that for cold nights and really hot days? What did you use for heat, if needed, and do you feel you might consider roof air? Also, would you consider solar on your roof and a portable generator like the Jackery etc, or is all your camping done in campgrounds where there is electrical power? (I think you already mentioned that you'd like "power" the next time around. I'm assuming by that you meant electrical power, not solar.) ????? Thanks!

Hello again Les. I really enjoy watching you...great personality girl ☺️💗. My hubby & I had to sell our tiny Casita travel trailer 😢. Moving into a beautiful 55+ community. Did not want pay storage fees 💰💰. We are considering doing what you did. Did you look at other make/models before buying your van to convert? I’d love to see/hear more on your search. Keep up the informative videos!!! Is your hubby camera shy?😄

My latest crush, Leslie.

I got my van in! Video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ep7u4F_0lFs.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-90h3nSscuAg.html
