My First Apartment Tips & Tricks

Many many moons ago I moved into my first apartment in Florida and was nervous about living on my own for the first time being 1,000+ miles away from friends and family. Some tips and tricks I would like to share about my experience:

1. Do a deep clean of the apartment/house: A lot of these apartment complexes lie that they hired people to come in and deep clean the carpets. It’s a quick cash grab on their part. The apartments are never clean when you move in.

2. If you live in a warm climate: my biggest suggestion to you is going to Amazon or Home Depot and buying these window tints for your windows. It does keep the house cooler and does lower your electricity bill a bit

3. Since I lived in Florida, we were prone to hurricanes and the power going out. These light bulbs turn into dimming flashlights if the power ever goes out and you need lights inside the apartment.

4. Always ground all your electronics: sometimes they’re power outages and you don’t want your expensive tv to blow out when the power comes back on

5. You don’t have to rush furnishing your apartment: how I did it is I focused on one room at a time (bedroom, bathroom and kitchen since I used that more frequently). Within time, you can get everything else.

Hope this helps to everyone and anyone!! #firstapartment#lemon8challenge#apartment#homedecor#roomtour

... Read moreMoving into your first apartment can be both exciting and daunting. To ensure a smooth transition, consider employing these additional tips: 1. **Safety First**: Assess the security measures in your new home. Test locks, check for smoke detectors, and consider investing in a security system for peace of mind. 2. **Budget Wisely**: Keep track of your expenses. Create a budget that includes rent, utilities, groceries, and any additional costs like internet or maintenance. This will help you manage your finances effectively. 3. **Get to Know Your Area**: Familiarize yourself with your neighborhood. Locate nearby grocery stores, restaurants, and public transport options. This knowledge will make your daily life easier and more enjoyable. 4. **Personalize Your Space**: Adding personal touches can make your apartment feel like home. Consider wall art, plants, or colorful rugs to enhance the ambiance. 5. **Make Use of Vertical Space**: In smaller apartments, utilize shelving and hooks to maximize storage. This keeps your floor space clear and creates an organized environment. 6. **Network with Neighbors**: Building a rapport with your neighbors can foster a sense of community. Plus, they can provide valuable tips about living in the area. Remember, your first apartment is a stepping stone to greater independence. Embrace the challenges and enjoy decorating your new home!

Where did you get the light bulbs from ? Don’t these ones keep your electricity bill low?
