My new video uploads this Thursday!
(9am PST)
Can you guess what it’s about?!
It’s actually happening for me. I’m manifesting my dreams one step at a time. #consciouscreators
A few years ago I dreamt of traveling and seeing new things. So I started watching every Vanlife video available on YouTube. From exotic locations to road trips and more vanbuild videos than you would be believe. And then guess what?
I bought a van.
After a couple years of Vanlife I began dreaming of owning land somewhere in the country. Growing my own food, raiding a few backyard animals and living a more self sufficient lifestyle.
Look at me now!!!
Standing in front of my own chicken coop, my tiny home on wheels parked in the driveway of a property with more than enough land for me to learn to grow food and raise a couple chickens.
Don’t underestimate the power of your mind. Never forget that what you focus on becomes your reality.
And be prepared to be pushed out of your comfort zone as the new life you create often costs you your old one.
Be brave and have the courage to step into your purpose even when it’s scary.

Hey 👋🏾 Urban Homies,
So this has been 1 crazy week and it’s not even over yet 🤪
Vacay, B-day and Mother’s Day all in the same week.
I guess what I’m really trying to say is this Thursdays’ scheduled upload may be a little delayed. 🫢🤫😉
I’m gonna do my best to finish the edits by this Saturday.
But if I miss this week please don’t judge me. I’m just out here living my best life right now.
Thanks for all of the b-day wishes and your continued support and patience 😬😘

Manifest the life you deserve:
1. Set your intention(s)
2. Align your actions with your goals
3. Focus your energy on ONLY the things you WANT (focus on the positive)
4. Become the person you want to be (think, talk, walk, dress and act like her/him)
5. Trust the universe to guide your steps
As a conscious creator I know how powerful my energy, thoughts and actions (or lack there of) are. Many people don’t understand that we are creating the circumstances of our lives with our energy and thoughts every moment.
In fact our present is only a reflection of the thoughts and energy we entertained in our past.
And our futures will be the product of the thoughts and energy we entertain today.
When I look at just how much my life has changed in just a couple years I am in total awe. But then I remember that I am a Conscious Creator in partnership with the universe.

Because gardening is dirty work…
Pic 1 - I spent a relaxing afternoon in my backyard repotting or what many YouTubers are now calling “up-potting” my seedlings from the mini cell trays to solo cups. Many of my seedlings were stressed and some of the leaves had begun to yellow from lack of space in the tiny cell cavities. I’ve been so busy with work and my seemingly never ending list of chores that I found myself a couple weeks behind on my garden chores.
But I refused to let this beautiful afternoon get turned into a stressful, chaotic event where I was so focused on the end result that I forgot to enjoy spending time in the garden with my plant babies.
Pic 2 - A compost pile we accidentally let go anerobic. (Think swampy & stinky) This pile was actually in our green waste can uncovered, where it got drenched from all the rain we’ve had these last couple weeks. The lack of oxygen in the green waste bin coupled with the extra wet conditions created the perfect environment for our compost to turn into smelly, swampy, sludge like matter that we’re now drying out in the open air.
These last couple days have been so sunny and warm that our swamp mess is starting to look like a compost pile again. 😊
New Spring Garden video just uploaded!

Try and remember that life gets better when you CHOOSE to focus on all that is good in your life. No matter what your current circumstances are you have the power to change your them by simply refusing to dwell in negativity or give away your power to distractions.
Ain’t this color life?!!!
New video drops Tomorrow!!! 😊

For everyone who keeps asking me…
“Are you still a vanlifer?” And “where the van at?”
I got 2 answers for y’all:
1. I’ll be a Vanlifer, “forever, forever ever, forever ever”.
2. Right outside.
And…
3. I now identify as a #vansteader
The truth is me and the system been going through a break up for about 5 years now. I made it official when we got the van but my true freedom journey has only just begun.
I’m more than a vanlifer now, I’m something like a vansteader! 😬😉
I’ve got a few videos about life as a #vansteader in que. Let me know if you’d like to see more van content or if you have any Vanlife questions in the comments.
🚐 + farmer 🧑🏾🌾 = vansteader

Hey 👋🏾 Urban Homies
(Urban Homesteaders 😁)
I’m Sarita aka City Girl Gone Green
I’m a city girl/vanlifer on a mission to “break up with the system” by living a more seasonal and self sufficient lifestyle with a method that’s a combination of both vanlifing and homesteading that I call #vansteading.
The goal is to save money for land by avoiding the ridiculous rents and excessive costs of living in California;
while teaching myself how to cultivate land, grow and raise most of my own food and learn skills that allow me to do as many things for myself as I can.
Most days now, you’ll find me & my van parked in the driveway of a family owned property in Oakland, Ca ~ with a modest backyard where I garden, a full kitchen & pantry, that allows me to prepare and preserve my harvests for healthy eating and food security, raise some backyard chickens - and of course having access to a full bathroom with a hot shower ain’t bad either. 🤭
