TOP 10 MOVING TIPS | soothingsista

[@marginandcolumn]

Haha the small box thing is SO key! I packed all my books into a huge box and was super impressed with myself getting them all to fit so neatly and perfectly, doh - literally couldn't lift it, I was unpacking it 5 minutes later 😑

[@2Ruba]

I actually kept all my food in the fridge and taped it closed and had it moved to the new place and turned on right away and all my stuff were good , exactly like a cooler.

[@beckwilde]

I love moving. The stress takes my mind off of other stresses in life! And also its a great chance to filter through the old things to make room for the new!

[@aakk6810]

Omg!!!! THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IT LIKE THAT!!!

[@justaboredcellist9009]

You forgot a very important one for people who aren’t moving with movers: If you have especially heavy boxes, GET WORK GLOVES. The kinds with the grips on the palms. It makes it SO MUCH EASIER.

[@JWill951]

Thanks for that advice. I'll note that

[@Muscles_McGee]

Yes!! I wrote that in my comment. Strange effect= gloves seem to confer amazing super-powers, like a 25% boost in strength

[@letisometimes]

Literally moving for the first time by myself in a month! Thank you endlessly.

[@WarmRegardsQ]

[@andiepandie3896]

moving in a few months

[@jcyon6956]

Another tip when using movers KEEP ALL OF YOUR JEWELRY, KEYS AND MONEY ON YOU!!! Move those things yourself!!

[@Beatle214]

Oh snap the tip on packing toilet paper and etc in your suitcase is genius! Thanks!

[@chasieyofacie]

Another helpful tip is to make a spreadsheet if you want to get really specific about what is in each box. (Or just to take inventory of what you own.) I label each box with a number and write the destination. For example Box #1 Kitchen, and then in a google spreadsheet list what exactly is in the box, like sponges.

[@DandelionGreens]

Great tips! We're moving Friday and it's going much smoother than in the past. Love your overalls tip! And something that really helped me was a list I made last time with all the phone #'s and account #'s for utilities, credit cards, etc. and a check list to go down to remember to change addresses w/magazines, drivers license, registration, post office, etc. I'm so glad I saved it all. Oh, and we invested in about 10 plastic bins from home depot a few years back and the handles really help with the extra heavy stuff like books.

[@therealmissglamBAM]

Packing a travel bag is so smart! I could use a 'soothing sista,' new subscriber here! Watching this made me realize how far along I am since I've already moved most of my stuff but now need all my personal belongings and my entire wardrobe and somewhere to put it, but still, a little less to worry about so I'm less overwhelmed now! Love this cute brick wall background!

[@neko87]

I've moved quite a few times too so one good tip is to use garbage bags to stuff clothes in. Easy no hassle and reusable too! but do remember to label them! ;) I like the Glad forceflex ones.

[@candecornluver]

moving in a few weeks! definitely will use that kind of tape instead of buying the clear tape. also, i work at a grocery store and i'm taking boxes from there. please please ask the grocery for boxes. we get too much shit and too much cardboard.

[@JWill951]

I didn't even think to ask the grocery stores. Do we just go to the customer service counter and ask?

[@Veronica-yd5dz]

How did it go?

[@notebookluvr]

Lots of great ideas! I disagree with the overalls idea though. I do know how easy it is to lose track of your tape or markers, but I think for me it would be better to keep a basket/container in each area that you can put the markers/tape etc in after using each time. I go to the bathroom too often to wear overalls 😬

[@Kaylinnf56]

Gotta love that exposed brick! What we've been able to see of the new place looks really neat!

[@zoegomez1059]

can't wait for a proper tour when you're all finished unpacking

[@balgrantango460]

Terrific, thanks…great ideas. I buy new boxes and number them and keep a special book with a complete detailed list of what's in each box in case one gets lost, then I know what to replace, especially my books. I've moved 28 times in my life and I've never had a problem with any mover. Thanks again, great video.

[@aakk6810]

Love this tip, thanks!

[@babiiluv22204]

Also, I highly recommend those plastic lidded storage bins instead of boxes, they’re reusable, I use them for holiday decorations and out of season clothes and coats. They also stack really well. I used about 10 for my move but I lay need 3 for regular storage, stacked they only take up 1/4 of a tiny hall closet

[@ScoutAdams]

You’re so right about the paper tape. Other tapes doubles one’s energy spent on packing because it takes so much time to find the edge of that damn clear (and expensive) tape - that reqires scissors or a knife to cut. I’m moving and dread it, but as much as I want to move on the cheap, I’m taking your advice and hiring professional movers. Thanks for the helpful vid!

[@joancrutchfield1862]

Very useful tips for moving and it's also a great opportunity to reduce your belongings.

[@MK-Ultraness]

thanks so much for your tips- especially your tape tip is THE BEST!!! I thought I knew a lot about tape but I did not know this tape and it is amazing and thank you so much for featuring this- you are the best! take good care

[@1stepcl0ser]

I adore your glasses

[@YogaBlissDance]

GEt Banana Boxes from supermarket! OMG- I have boxes for like 12 years! Banana's smoosh easily so the boxes for them are reinforced and HAVE HANDLES! AMAZING.

[@acatnamedayn]

THANK U!!! MOVING AT THE END OF THIS MONTH U JUST SAVED MY LIFE!!!! ❤️

[@LauraNeuzeth]

That tape looks amazing! I hate regular packing tape and this option looks so much better.

[@edwardkakaire7362]

Best moving tips online. Doing my second move today and it's great to re-listen to this clip as a reminder of what to do! Thank-you.

[@kimn893]

Hey here's another tip!! You don't need to buy boxes. Whenever I was moving, I went to Walmart at night time when they were unpacking all their boxes and just asked them if I could have some of their empty boxes. Go for the toilet paper aisle or the cereal aisle. You'll score some nice big boxes there!

[@karolagongon7973]

If you do not have overalls you can also have like a fanny pack with those essentials. I kept a scissor, tape and markers on my plastic fanny pack and it was life changing on the process 😅

[@ohitslesley]

SO HELPFUL! I'm constantly moving back & forth because of college. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@lyingfawn]

I've been subbed to your channel for a long while and I remember watching this video when it came out bc I loved your content, and here I am 7 years later watching this again as I make my first official move from my parents' place as a graduate moving in with their partner to a new town :'-) thanks for everything Stephanie. (definitely gonna hold onto that USE THE BOXES tip bc I was about to just toss everything in reusable shopping bags/totes and then toss those in the trailer lmaoo, the stacking will definitely make a difference)

[@MayaSwanShorts]

These were actually some really great tips, a few things you would never think of until the day of lol

[@nterry246]

This was a great video! Stephanie your outfit is so dope! One tip I would add (although it might be common sense) is to move your valuable/expensive jewelry/electronics/goods yourself. One of the first times my family moved, a bunch of my moms jewelry went missing! 😟

[@AlyssaDowner]

Oh and uhaul also has free used boxes!

[@godblesstinamarie]

You’re moving outfit is so dope

[@KareemThePilot]

“Moving outfit” said no guy ever

[@Karynx3]

In the process of moving right now. This was right on time!

[@rMeghann]

Thank you for giving me an excuse to take a break 🥵 your advice was helpful, especially that tape!!

[@PollyBoonlue]

Holy crap. This is honestly super helpful cause some of the things you said, Ive never thought about when I'm moving lol. Thanks steph!! :D

[@kinusakina]

this is such a great vid!! i'm moving out of halls and into a house for my second year of uni, and i'm putting things into storage for when i go back home (in another country) for hols. great tips!

[@monikahao2961]

This is literally perfect! I was just packing before I decided to take a break and see what's new rom my subscriptions. Thanks! :D

[@missydavis6678]

Packing tape idea was sooo helpful!❤❤❤

[@elainerodriguez875]

I’m moving to Florida from new jersey🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m not ready 😌

[@joannajohnson696]

Excellent video! I love the paper tape idea & the yelp recommendation for movers! Plastic tape is worthless, you are right!

[@HeavymetalHylian]

get boxes from McDonalds/fast food restaurants. They usually have a back room full of empty boxes and they always offer to help you load them into your car.

[@Muscles_McGee]

Most businesses have cardboard-only recycling dumpsters behind the store full to overflowing with great free boxes. Check convenience stores first!= no security guards to roust you and threaten you with calling the cops like the dumpsters at shopping malls

[@bencook130]

Glad I found this video, thank you! My wife and I have moved many times but we are usually disorganized. We are going to use your suggestions, so thank you!

[@kristen7623]

I love the overalls and boots idea!

[@gwenba1316]

moving away for uni at the end of summer, this vid was so helpful!

[@gingerbearrr]

I love these organizational videos! So helpful!

[@skelletulle]

Where are your overalls from?? They're so perfect and I feel like it's so hard to find a pair that are nice quality/not extremely expensive.

[@lilyindacity]

Ikr! Hers is soo nice. I have a similar one and I bought it from H&M

[@zakmai153]

moving to the bay from the east coast in about a week and these tips high key helped !

[@erina717]

Thank you! Smart tips. I never thought of baskets and hampers being a problem as box substitutes because they’re not stackable. Good point. I would’ve done that and regretted it.

[@ClandestineGirl16X]

you can ask local stores for any unwanted boxes and they usually give you them for free.

[@lexilicious09]

Yes! These tips were more unique than others I’ve seen. Will def buy paper tape. And I’ll pack toilet paper in the overnight bag! Haha

[@luorellano]

Your video really sums up exceptionally well the moving experience. I wish I had seen this before moving out, the moving company was a disaster... my husband work by their side because they hadn't brought enough workers... a lot of things arrived broken, they didn't wrap the couch, nor the cushions (dust marks everywhere still trying to get them out)... the list goes on... next time I'll certainly do better!! cheers!

[@DENE2012]

This is great advice!!! If only I had seen this weeks ago! At least I get some tips for the last leg of the packing journey. :D

[@mediumbelly]

what do you do with all the used boxes after you're done moving? do you keep them in storage for next time or recycle them?

[@TeaganD]

We use plastic bins for heavier items, stackable and it's the same price as large boxes

[@ashleyshuler978]

I'm moving this Friday - thanks for these!

[@kaboomdynamite]

I won't be moving out any time soon, but these tips will definitely be useful in the future! Awesome video :)

[@veizour]

Reasonable and smart. Thanks!

[@iheartttofu]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'm actually about to move into my new apartment Sunday, and I haven't started packing. Even though this is the 4th time I've moved in college, I haven't picked up any of these tips before this video lol.

[@saferaaa]

girl I saw you in the in the music video with will I am and mia I was like is that steph !?? lolol gurl ur so lit enjoy ur life man ! :)))))

[@denvermovinghelpers]

Solid tips here, nice video

[@mercedesfernandez6094]

Thanks so much. It is very helpful!

[@CarinaandZara]

Not moving anytime soon, but i feel like i needed those tips in my life lol!

[@callmehacel]

You made some pretty great points, I bookmarked this for my move in September! Also that corner of your room looks dope, I'd LOVE a loft tour whenever you feel like it :)

[@Moving_Forward247]

excellent video. a lot of non obvious tips like the overalls. great work.

[@ikeepmyvibesinajar2601]

people BUY boxes? (my dads in the army and my entire extended family is too so we all just keep boxed forever)

[@AugustWeekend]

Such good tips! I always love your informational/advice vids :)

[@thesakuralovers]

These tips are really helpful and I love this kind of video ✌🏼️😄

[@hypnotherapistgurudebraann6013]

#1 tip !!! Boxes are free ! Check grocery stores and local classifieds for free boxes ! Save money boxes can get pricey

[@tspacefullstop4161]

I like the suitcase tip. Handy. When's the tour of the new place with all of your bits in it? Its weird but in Australia when renting, you can't alter the dwelling in any way. I find it incredible that you can paint or change the structure when renting. . ..how come?

[@billyboylove00]

This is so irrelevant but, your skin is looking incredible !!

[@kat4cath]

yoooo!! im new to your channel and I was just thinking where the hell have I been hiding like im binge watching all day you fckng rock!!!!!!

[@kerenramos]

I love the content on your videos!! Btw you skin looks flawless

[@jof9139]

Did the movers pack for you? Thank you for the tips.. Craigslist can be scary..

[@bee.d1979]

Also if you need boxes And don’t want to pay for them go to Walmart or another grocery store similar around the time that they’re stocking either really late really early and they will give them to you for free. Typically the toilet paper and paper towel boxes are best

Super helpful, thanks!

[@kylieeats1639]

travel bag and essentials! great idea!

[@itsmeLori]

I did not know about that tape!!! Looks like magic lol

[@Asscrackdoodlepiss]

Can you do this makeup look? It's so natural!

[@kristierogers52]

That tape is awesome I'm going to order !!

[@imandreamendez]

moving out of my apartment and wished I ve seen this video before I packed up everything lmao

[@DassahMariee]

[@kimmlumm]

[@emilythomsen5892]

[@KatMarie]
