A writer shares his moving experience and the items he couldn't live without.
Moving is one of life’s most stressful experiences. Whether you’re relocating across town or across the country, the process can be incredibly overwhelming, especially if you’ve been settled in one place for a long time. The sheer magnitude of decisions you need to make can be paralyzing: what to keep, what to donate, what to throw away. Each item in your home suddenly requires deep consideration.
The longer you’ve lived somewhere, the more possessions you’ve likely accumulated, and the more daunting the task becomes. From sorting through years of collected memories to organizing essential documents, the process can feel like an insurmountable challenge. The logistics of coordinating moving trucks, updating addresses, and potentially navigating new school districts or job locations only add to the stress, making moving consistently rank as one of life’s most challenging events.
However, during my most recent move, I took a different approach. Instead of letting the overwhelming nature of the task consume me, I made two crucial decisions: hire professional movers and significantly downsize my possessions. I chose to keep only life’s essentials, letting go of everything else that felt like “trash” to me. Among those chosen essentials are three home items that I’ve deemed indispensable to my daily life.
Moving soon or in need of a few refresher items? These three things will serve as the perfect roadmap.
I've had this particular vacuum for two years and it's a purchase I don't regret. If we're keeping it real, sometimes sweeping doesn't get up all of the dirt and grime, but rest assured that this one does. It's bagless, cordless and works to show you the dust its picking up and shrinking in real time. Dust particles you didn't even know were there. If you're a vacuum/sweeper first before mopping, this is the perfect tool to prep with. Worth the investment.
Though it's me and my air fryer against the world, I could not leave this timeless set behind. The Home Cook Duo Pro is one of the brand's best sellers and for good reason. Not only does it look absolutely perfect on my new, stainless steel stove but the design of both the pot and pan are both functional, durable and just plain chic.
Winter can be brutal on the skin, especially in hellishly frigid locations like New York where heating systems run constantly. The Dreo 6L Humidifier offers a solution with its dual warm and cool mist functionality. Its impressive 40-inch tall mist dispersion system creates fine particles that distribute humidity evenly throughout large rooms. The 6L tank capacity helps it run for multiple days, maintaining optimal humidity levels to protect your skin and ensure comfortable sleep.
