The Grateful, the Answers, and the List...
It is amazing what can happen in 1 month...
I moved out of the house at the beginning of this month (November), and it has been a blessing. I am a God fearing woman, and because of that, I've been praying consistently about where I should be living (I'm living in homes of my friends from my church for the time being). The house that I'm living in now (aka- the first house), is wonderful. Thanks to my friend, K, who has been so kind. However, she and I discussed that I was only able to live there for 2 weeks...and those 2 weeks are over this coming Monday. So, in search of a new home, I prayed, and my prayers were answered. My other friend, L, and her family said I could live with them for 2-3 months!! I am so grateful!
Ok, now to focus on why I am blogging this...
I have realized that it is SUPER important to pack all of the right stuff, when you're moving into someones house. Granted, you might not need to take a lot of stuff (If it's a temporary stay, what's the point of hauling ALL of your stuff over to their house? It will just get in the way, trust me), so here's a somewhat condensed list of what you will need to take with you, in your journey...
1. You will need a suitcase (or 2...or 3. but preferably 2)
-In your suitcase(s), you will need:
I) shirts ( take the smallest amount possible. You can always do laundry.)
II) pants ( read above. Pants can be worn more than once before they need washing...but
it also depends on how dirty they get.)
III) socks (take as many as you need! don't wear them twice or more before you wash them.
yuck!)
IV) undies (same with the socks, take as many as you need, preferably ALL of them...unless
you have an entire dresser full. Then just pick 1 drawer full, and take those.)
V) shoes (take only as many as you truly need. For example- tennishoes, shoes for work, heels
for important occasions, and sandals. You really don't need your whole shoe
collection at this point.) (don't forget slippers!)
VI) work out clothes
VII) pajamas (prepare yourself for the weather. You don't want sweats when it's 70 degrees at night, and vice-versa)
2. Hygiene items
- it is best to take a smaller "carry-on" for all of your hygiene items-
- in your carry-on, you will need:
I) hair items
a) shampoo/conditioner
b) brush/comb
c) hair ties
d) bobby pins/ hair clippies
e) hairspray
f) blow dryer
g) straightener
h) curling iron
i) other styling products (mousse, pomade, gel, etc...) as needed
II) face items
a) face wash
b) toner/cotton rounds
c) face lotion
d) make up
i) foundation
ii) mascara
iii) eyeshadow
iiii) eyeliner
iiiii) blush
iiiiii) makeup brushes, sponges, etc
e) makeup remover creams/liquids
f) chapstick(s), lip gloss, lipstick
III) body items
a) body wash/soap
i) loofah/wash cloth
b) body lotion(s)
IV) deodorant
V) perfume
3. Extras
I) pillow
II) stuffed animal/blanket (for comfort)?
III) book(s) to read
IV) journal
V) music ( preferably an ipod, cd player, mp3 player, or something that doesn't require a
stereo system. the quiter it is, the less unobtrusive it will be, they like that)
VI) coats, jackets (for cold weather)
a) hats/scarves/gloves
4. Food! - bringing your own food helps them to not be stressed about providing food for their
family, plus you. However, some people will help serve you dinner, but they still
would like to know that you are able to take care of your self at the same time.
5. if you don't have a car, bring your bike, or get rides from the bus system, or from other people, just NOT from those who are housing you. They usually don't mind if it's every once in a while, so be careful when it comes to that.
...... well, there's my list of things that are good to bring with you on your endeavors in the world! I'm sure I've forgotten some things, so add those things to the list on your own.
I hope this helped!
Have a great day!
