A very detailed moving vlog: packing, moving, and organizing our new house

This took a while to post, but here, at long last, is documentation of our in-town move a few weeks ago. If you follow me on Instagram (at vestedinterestsig), you will know that I had my second COVID shot, and that knocked me out for a little while and prevented me from posting this sooner. Plus moving is a crazy time/attention sucker on its own...

Anyway, we are officially in the new house and we're very happy with it! I'm still organizing things as I have time to give them attention and am decluttering a little bit as I go. We're also juggling a lot of different ideas, planning what projects we want to tackle first, and are starting to buy/look at furniture. I forgot how much I hate buying furniture because A) everything is expensive and B) everything takes 37 weeks to be built and delivered. ...This house is going to take a while to come together, but I'm glad to share the very beginning of it with you! Hope you're all well!

Up next will likely either be a closet tour (and I got a couple of new things! it's been over a year since I've purchased clothing, but I finally broke my streak) or me attempting to skim coat my bedroom. Wish me luck with both!

If you’re new around here, I make videos about minimalism, living with what I consider a small wardrobe (for the year; not a capsule wardrobe), decluttering, and occasionally a little bit of personal finance. …If you’re not buying stuff, you suddenly have a lot more money on your hands, so I think it makes sense as the next natural step after minimalism. Some of my most watched videos include several of my 30 day minimalism game videos, my wardrobe declutters, and my house tour. This journey began in my closet, so check out my very first video in which I decluttered my wardrobe from 118 items to 50 if you need a little wardrobe motivation. Thanks for stopping by!

You can find me on Instagram occasionally at vestedinterestsig.

Grocery shopping + "meal planning" + what I eat in a day

Guide | 6 years ago

A few disclaimers: 1) Clearly my attempts to reduce plastic from food products have completely gone out the window for the time being. 2) I attempted to film this during a normal work day, which was a terrible idea and I'm not totally happy with the quality...

Day off vlog: errands, laundry, and unexpected adventures

New savings goals: Retirement and personal savings | Minimalism & Money

Review | 6 years ago

One whole person asked if I had any more personal finance thoughts, and that was all it took for me to make a video about it. We've started making some changes to what we do with the money that we save. It's not naturally what I want to do with the money, b...
