Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm so excited y'all know I still have stuff in storage in Birmingham Alabama that's getting pulled down in just about 2 weeks and everything is finally falling into place

I'm going on a cruise with my boyfriend and then home for a little so I'm going to pull out most things I've already pretty much packed for the cruise

I'm moving 4 hours away from home that's bittersweet

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the trash bag method for hanging clothes: poke a hole in the top middle of the bag, stick hangers through, and pull the bag over the clothes.
Be critical when decluttering: if you haven't worn or thought about an item in the last 6 months, consider getting rid of it.
