we're Eamon and Bec and for the past three years we've traveled the world in
our tiny home on wheels but our new reality set in last week when we made
the difficult decision to abandon our van in Morocco and fly home to Canada
times are certainly uncertain
Good morning!
Do you want a smoothie? Yes, please!
Welcome to day 10 of quarantine! Cheers to that.
now that we are a week and a half into quarantining ourselves in Lee's parents
basement we've really established some good healthy routines one of which is
our 21 day fitness challenge basically we upload a free 10 minute workout every
single day to our Eamon and Bec Plus YouTube channel so I encourage you to
join us there really quick effective workouts and we've got a film one edit
one an upload one today let's go even if you guys are just getting started you
can go back to day one and commit to something for the next 21 days what's
what are we doing today? Core baby! sometimes this chick has got me doing
two or three of these a day this one wants to get ahead boy Shakira let's get
going might yeah we're good we were doing our workouts
go warm up the jump jack one two three four five
what is for breakfast? potatoes again I know I'm addicted I'm addicted honestly
to having an oven and being able to roast the potatoes typically if I want
potatoes in the van it's like cook the potatoes takes like an hour on the
stovetop then take those off then you basically eat them while you're cooking
the rest of the stuff so anyway he's feeling very grateful to have a nice
home where we can quarantine do you want some potatoes for breakfast breakfast
has been interrupted because we got coach on the line he's making fun of us
because we this is how we do group calls with them shiny more like straightly
more like open like you know I'm in the kitchen cuz there's a spill there
clean-up on aisle 12 there with all the love because I appreciate your cooking
so much that it's definitely two different scenarios in the kitchen
hanging up after a minute but I will say that you came in and you were a part of
pasta night making a disaster what are you doing why you means I just sleep you
dog huh good boy hockey guys everyone watching the video take a second smash
the thumbs up for Rocky all right appreciate it thanks luck
you know there's like only enough left you're not really sure about these two
told me put it all away and I started putting it in that Tupperware like oh I
could pick out an arm I swear I'll fuck using me vegan after working all right
I'm sure a lot of you guys can relate but this is one of the most fun days
have been looking like it looks like we're a little low in the promo
that was good what's next let's try that tiger show we're trying to film a video
here get out of bed it's 3 p.m. bro let's go
hey man pass me an apple
and everyone had their beach balls today I think it's time to make a grocery list
bell pepper jack broccoli I get it that was me the band's look I get it I
understand my man
they pointed heads and short dorsal fins give them speed and endurance
why not spaghetti bolognese
Wales here too
hey the chips well at least it's still never a dull moment with you no matter
we go just look a little better oh my gosh yeah way better
please your biggest supporter for doing ridiculous things we're the same way
Jamie there's still a few dead ends but you got your boat you've got an inch and
a half ends there all right what's on tap for the afternoon yes that make some
cookies as you can see we are trying to remain as positive as possible through
these very uncertain times and one of the things that we've found super
helpful is actually taking the Morning News free I basically take all day news
free and then imminently informing of all the latest and I just find that
really helps to have that mind space to think of your options a little more
clearly and another thing that really helps is meditation we've got the rock
we've got the red baby it's spring
they're girls yeah where am I sitting
and in case you're like I was for a long time sort of turned off my meditation
never really gave it a full shot I am starting to see a lot of reward and
starting to actually enjoy it so maybe today or tomorrow you can find a little
spot and try meditation it might help you and I think it's important to know
it's not gonna happen on the first try and if I didn't have you babe I probably
wouldn't have given it so many tries and it's really as a practice it's like
anything like I meditate a while but you have moments no but what it what it
means to me is like if you stop and sit down on your mat you're just checking
into yourself yes my mind really busy today what is on
my mind how is my body feeling and by that constant checking in on yourself
sometimes you realize that you're carrying extra stress or tension and
it's just really being aware and mindful of like how your body is feeling from
day to day so some days I'll have these like euphoric blissful relaxing
meditations but most times it doesn't look like that even if you're an
experienced meditator frisbee disc toss so some of you are probably wondering
okay enough with the hippie meditation stuff what is your plan what are you
guys doing and to be totally honest we have absolutely no idea what's next for
us we feel like this could be month to a year of us not having our van again or
being able to travel again so we thought of everything from renting a place
trying to flip a property maybe buying a new Sprinter van converting it how do
you guys think you should do first I'm gonna sink this bad boy
Oh yesterday we started talking about what's next for us and that was the
point of sort of that section of the vlog and things just kind of got heavy
for us and I said let's just put it down we'll pick it up when we're positive
tomorrow and it's 2 p.m. Lee's made a bold pot Barney and we're
all like going through emotions again it's been an emotional 24 hours for us
all and I guess we just wanted to share that with you as much as we want to
share the positivity of everything yeah I mean I'm sure everyone like Beck said
is feeling the same weight of uncertainty
I know chai wallah is in a position where a lot of our business is selling
to these cafes and they're no longer even open so not only are we worried
about our cafe partners but our business has taken a massive hit and it's not
even really like we can plan anything I think that's the scariest part is we
usually have stuff we're looking forward to or we can start to prepare for a trip
and no one can do that right now Canada government is saying you know
could be three to six months my opinion that could be longer I think it's it's
just so unknown and it's like like Lee was just saying this but it's day 11 of
our quarantine and I think we had this objective of finishing this 14 days of
quarantine and then somehow life would be different and the closer we get to
the end of that the more we realize it's just uncertainty going forward we're all
in this together all of our lives have just changed and you know we're
recognizing to like be kind to yourself and that's what we're doing today is
being kind to ourselves and allowing ourselves to take the afternoon off you
have to be so kind I set you back before this is like don't worry guys though
it's gonna be prepared to vlog and then even already said we're not blogging
today that's a gothic God mmm yeah oh it's such a weird
but our home is you know still in Morocco so that's the biggest thing
weighing on me for sure like sometimes I'll just try to fall asleep and I'm
thinking about our home how much I miss my pillow it's all the little things -
how many memories we have in there like so and we just did leave it so fast like
it's one thing if you you're planning on telling something like that you can go
through those emotions about I'm a super emotional person and I barely got to say
goodbye
and my bag came in my toilet nature said please
anyways perhaps this cuts to tomorrow when we're in better spirits to finish
this vlog or perhaps it doesn't but time I don't think it will no I think this is
that we'll see thank you guys thank you so so so much yeah those vegans are hard
to keep fat man we're hungry all the time shots we just want to say a huge
thank you oh you're welcome everybody give shots some rest as gospel
I really owe people well it's clearly a new day here we have new kind of spirits
around the McMillan residence not only did we get our food which is always
spirit lifting but we were about to host our first ever live Instagram house
dance party basically after we've logged with you guys yesterday we thought we
need to do something to lift our spirits and we feel like our community could
really use that - so if you aren't already following us on Instagram now is
the time because you never know when we're gonna throw down another one of
these house parties are you ready to party are you ready to party baby yeah
sorry max we're not feeding your daughter anymore okay excellent
the big loose pants no embodies in sports
yeah jiggling top or are up but never to my roots Pass they look the exact same
well what a fun night unfortunately Facebook kicked us off because of
copyright claims or something so a little bit disappointing but rhetoric is
still ripping it up in his bed and we're cooking in the kitchen I was just
thanking all of our beautiful artists for coming out now we're making our way
what's right which lights I fall asleep on camera yeah
