My apartment when I moved in vs…
When I first moved into my apartment it was a total blank slate. White walls and uneven wood floors that desperately needed some rugs for added softness! Almost a year later and I’ve really made a little place to call home. I love how relaxing my space feels and I’m always excited to come home

I’ve been reflecting on my first year living alone and everything I've learnt. I used to think about living costs as just the rent- and maybe utilities- but something this year has taught me is the importance of really understanding what goes into keeping the lights on. “Rent” is so much more t
