Part 1/9 Really out of my comfort zone on this c Part 1/9 

Really out of my comfort zone on this content but I really hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed working on this(: 

This project is just a reminder that you don’t need to buy a new $30k camper! We found our 2004 pop up truck camper on FB marketplace for $6k no issues other than aesthetic. 
 
First thing we did to it was paint the outside with Rustoleum paint + primer - just took off all the stickers, lightly sanded and washed everything then painted! 

After a year of owning it I was finally ready to finish the inside to feel more like us ✨🧡🏔️

It’s all about perspective 🧡 “Is it worth It’s all about perspective 🧡

“Is it worth the effort” 

I wanted to stay home and stick with my simple routine because it was the easy mindless option. 

I feel like that’s something a lot of us struggle (me included) with these days, “is it worth” making time for friends in a busy week, learning a new skill, or a new language, or planning a trip to go somewhere new?. 

But if we stop doing those things what memories do we even have to look back on and smile about? 

We can spend hours on our phones and wonder what happened to that weekend we had so many plans for. 

Or we can @getbrick our phones and enjoy life like a kid again, with wonder and excitement! 

That’s something I’m working on recently, doing more creative things with my hands and time and less sitting around wasting precious years✨🧡

I’d love to know what hobbies or activities you’ve been getting into!
