Moving out of your parent’s house and into your own apartment is such an exciting time in your life! You finally have the freedom you’d been waiting or all of your teens, and the added responsibility that can really make you feel mature.

Now unless you have unlimited funds, you’re going to have to stick to a budget when it comes to apartment hunting. And there are so many hidden costs that you’re not going to know about until you face them.

Here’s where my help comes in.

Living in 4 different places the last four years, I’ve got a pretty basic idea what to expect when it comes to renting (& moving, LOL). I’ll give you a heads up on what could pop up in expenses, and what’s good and bad signs when narrowing down your search.

Purge and Organize

The new year always sparks a cleaning frenzy in everyone to start your year off with a clean slate.

With the new Netflix series Tidying Up With Marie Kondo being all the rage right now as well, everyone is all hands on deck when it comes to cleaning their homes – and I’m no different!

I’m naturally a pretty tidy person and enjoy staying organized, but I love jumping on the bandwagon this time of year to really organize my home. And the way I’ve learned to see it as that there’s no use in organizing and cleaning old crap that you don’t even want. Know what that means!?

Time to purge.

purge: : to make free of something unwanted

I’m sure you can find a TON of stuff in your home that’s now unwanted. Trying to fold or make closet space for clothes you don’t even want is a waste of time and space. Old expired soup in the pantry? Yeah, you’re never using that. All of that stuff just causes clutter.

Spring Home Decor

With living in three different places in the past two years, I’ve had a chance to decorate in a lot of different spaces. We haven’t bought much new furniture over the years, and I’ve gotten a little tired of trying to style the same stuff over and over again.

The room that’s always been the most “blah” in all of our places has been the living room. It’s always consisted of a hand me down (very uncomfortable) couch, the TV and TV stand and just a coffee table. Very plain.

I’ve always wanted to revamp the look of our living room area, but haven’t had the budget or really any idea on what the heck to even do!

One of the easiest ways I’ve found to decorate is to go with the seasons. And Spring is just upon us!

Home Decor Hacks For Twenty-Somethings

I don’t know about you, but I don’t really know how to do this whole adult thing.

I mean, we’re not reeeeally taught how to do anything, and every day is kind of just another day to wing it. One thing that can really show our age is the way we present our home.

Young adults and/or college kids tend to have a bit of a stereotype when it comes to the way their house or apartment is going to be.

Dishes everywhere
Pantry stalked with instant meals and ramen noodles
Laundry piled high
What’s a vacuum?

You get the picture. And you don’t want that persona, do ya!?
