There is not a better feeling than finally having all of your things unpacked after moving! After hours and hours of packing, you do hours and hours of unpacking and organizing getting things just how you want....its an exhausting procedure! Here are a few tips that I would recommend to make it easier on yourself!
1. Plan ahead- If you know what day your moving, go through stuff and donate things you don't want to bring with you instead of packing crap that you aren't even keeping!
2. Pack smart- If it takes you a few hours to pack up your things in boxes, spend the five extra minutes to organize your things in boxes for particular rooms. Like keep your bathroom stuff in the bathroom box so your not going back and forth between rooms. (I did this and it drove me crazy!!)
3. Get your address changed- Sign up with Canada Post to have your mail forwarded to your new address close to your moving date so mail doesn't get sent to your old place, this will give you a break and the new people in your old place!
4. Room-mates- If your moving out and lived with room mates, go through everything way before your move date so you can separate your things from theirs. Especially pay attention to things that are in the pantry and soap kinda stuff, if you paid half take half with you!
5. Do it cheap- When you know your moving out, look into different ways for your move. If your only moving a short distance plan out how you will move everything (do you need a truck?) if your moving a distance away, look into different trailer options or truck rentals and moving companies to find the cheapest way possible! Trust me, its worth the extra homework!
Those are my moving tips from my experiences, just don't let the stress get to you! Its a journey many of us have to take in our lives and try to make the best out of it!!!

Staples
With summer officially starting within a few weeks, I know many of us are so excited to wear some of our cutest outfits of the year. Sure we have to shave our legs again but hell with it, totally worth it in my books to look good this summer!
This is the first summer in a very long time for me to be single and it is amazing how much I have already learned about myself as a person, but I've found new ways to express myself through what I wear too. I never had so much fun with clothing in the past as I do now!
The thing is, do you really want to pay a fortune for clothes that will not be "trendy" for next year then have to buy again? The key is in my opinion is to have simple, pieces that you can use for all seasons and trends! Start with the basics!
I am no guru, I don't pay attention to high fashion, I don't own anything that is a huge brand name, so these pieces are affordable and wearable!
First up is something I was so nervous about wearing for so long...but once you get the hang of them and see how they easily go with so many outfits..its hard to not want em', plus you can start off with a small wedge with so many different kinds available!
Nude Wedges
There are so many neutral colours out there right now, I bought a pair from Suzy Shier that are a bit different than these but I have worn them three times already! These ones are called Tatom, from Call It Spring and are $40.00
White Tank
I probably have five different styles of a the old basic white tank top at this point...I love how easy it is to dress a white tank, whether it be a spaghetti strap or even a tube top they are so comfy to wear and super easy to dress up or wear casually! They are usually easy to find, I found this one at Urban Planet for $6.00
Classic Skinnies (Or just..jeans)
Skinny jeans are the one pair of pants I have the hardest time getting off! I usually bounce around on one foot until I pull them off (haha) Anyways Skinny Jeans are a staple I think. There are so many different options if you don;t like the Skinny like, boot-fit, Slim etc. These ones are super cheap and are called the Classic Skinnies at Forever 21 for $12.80
Those are my main staples for now! I have recently gone on quite bit of a shopping extravaganza but I will update this within the next while when I'm not packing up my home. I am so excited for summer and can't wait to show ya'll my new journey of finding myself!
