The Weekend Post #39: Moving Out

Watch out London cause today a car weighed down by two tonnes of makeup, candles and peachy pink lip products is rolling into town. Oh yes I’m moving up to the big smoke, waving goodbye to my long-ass commute and saying hello to a Starbucks on every corner, the world of oyster cards and black bogies (yep that does actually happen). So no time to pamper this weekend but plenty of manicure sacralige unpacking. Fab.

To wet your beauty whistle I thought I’d snap some pictures of my stash all ready to be squashed into the back of the already brimming car (I may have overpacked slightly). Aside from my vanity which is where I store my everyday skincare and makeup (video on that here) and my basket (shown in the last picture) my big boxes from WHSmith are where I hideaway the over-flow: products I’m testing out, back-ups (spot the extra bottle of Bioderma), out-of-season stuff and my mass of body creams that I’ll most probably never get to the end of. Very handy and practical plus it keeps it all out of the way – no unpacking needed, my nail polish can breathe a sigh of relief.

So I’ll have to save up the pampering for next weekend. Oh I’m looking forward to it already…

    Ohh Welcome! We are house hunting around my area and the idea of moving all my stuff really scares me especially because that is the moment you realise how much crap you have that you actually don’t need!
    All the best and let’s hope you settle it well! Are you going north, south, east or west? :)

    Ah I am shocked at how you managed to pack all your makeup into 1 box. I moved out 3 weeks ago and had a mahusive box names ‘fragile makeup’ I watched carefully as my bf and his dad carried this up to the apartment along with 5 other hefty boxes of clothes and what not! I know too well it can be stressful but you have to learn to enjoy this time which I tended to fail to do amongst all the bulk buying and putting together a mountain of flat packed furniture. Its such a relief when everything is in place and you can settle into your new home. Its strange at first, living with the bf and what not but you will enjoy it – wishing you all the luck with your new adventure and can’t wait to read about it in future posts :-)

    Good luck. Need a roommate? :D

    Hope the move went well. I lived in North London all my life until over a month ago when I moved to Hertfordshire. I had more than enough of where I used to live and all the dirt and too many people. Odd seeing as that is all I really knew. I’m sure metropolitan life will suit you much better than me though, you will love it :)
