The Ultimate First Apartment Essentials Guide



A few weeks ago, it clicked to me that I’m going to be 25 in four months. How scary is that?! Those “oh dear god I’m almost 25” memes are finally starting to make more sense.

On a more positive note, a lot of my friends are growing up and moving out of their parents houses; or moving out of rented houses for an apartment alone. My best friend, Sam, is doing that very soon. She asked me to create a blog post for her showcasing some gorgeous home décor ideas, plus apartment things. Therefore, I thought that I would write a post about some first apartment must haves.

Quite often, we get so excited about all the wall art and blankets we can buy. However, there’s a lot more things like cleaning supplies and extension cords that we sometimes forget about. I fell in love with Jessica Slaughter’s ultimate college shopping list post so I thought I would do something similar. Tomorrow I’ll post 10 cute home décor items under $50!
