…is the best way to describe how the past week as felt. In a good way, though! I tend to be a creature of habit/routine, but every once in a while it’s nice to mix things up a bit.
And what better way to mix things up than by moving?
I knew I was excited to move into the new apartment, but I forgot how much moving feels like a fresh start – one that I didn’t realize I needed so much right now.
My room before:
And a glimpse after:
My new room is smaller than my old one, but I actually love it so much more. Not only do I have my own bathroom (an almost unheard-of perk living in NYC), but the fact that it’s smaller forced me to make it super cozy and more organized than ever.
(I’ll post some pictures of the rest of the apartment when we fully unpack!)
Thankfully I also had some good fuel for the move thanks to a package sent to me from NatureBox, which conveniently arrived right after I completely ran out of food.
NatureBox is a snack delivery service that provides five healthy snacks delivered right to your door for only $19.95 a month. Each month the snacks are different, but they’re all good for you and really delicious!
Considering how much pre-packaged snacks are these days (especially healthy brands), I think NatureBox is a steal. I especially loved their granola and Cranberry Almond Bites.

Thank you NatureBox!
By the end of the day on Saturday I was all moved in and almost completely unpacked, so I celebrated by going to my first country music concert. This Pennsylvanian turned New Yorker girl was definitely out of her element, but I tried my best to adapt…
I’ve got to say – even though I didn’t know any of the songs – I had SO much fun! We saw Jason Aldean at Madison Square Garden, and it was a blast.
Things slowed down a bit yesterday with my typical brunch + church Sunday routine, and now it’s back to the weekday grind getting caught up with work. I must admit it feels good to start getting life back in order!
Since the title of this post is “all over the place,” I’ll leave you with some inspiration for this week…
Enjoy your Monday, babes.
When is the last time you moved? Do you enjoy the moving process?
Congrats on the new place! Your room looks great (you’ve decorated so much already too) and how nice that you have your own bathroom! That’s unheard of in SF too! I’m not a fan of moving but I do like once it’s all over and you’re in the new place! And that nature box sounds great!
The last time I moved was December 2011 and I love the apartment I’m in now. I do enjoy the moving process, for the most part. I like being in a new neighborhood and exploring the area.
Jason Aldean is amazing in concert; glad you enjoyed!
Absolutely love the new room & would love to see more pictures (maybe even a whole post dedicated to room decorating and organizing?). Where did you get the pink lace shirt you wore for the concert?
It’s actually cream-colored (the lighting does make it look pink though, huh?). From H&M
My husband I have moved 4 times in 4 years and I never enjoy packing and unpacking boxes but I do like the newness of change! Hope you get settled in well!
I haven’t moved in three years .. I’m looking to move now, but I dread the thought of going through my belongings to pack! Haha. At least I’m not still in school - back then I had a million different tiny things that added up so fast - paper clips, highlighters, pencils, pens, etc.
I just moved house last month, finding a room where I live is super stressful!! I can’t wait to have my own place.
I moved this year for law school, and it was definitely stressful. I hate the logistics of things. I get more concerned that all my stuff will fit in the car than the actual action of moving far from home. It went as well as it could, though. And I love it here (and my roommate is great!) so it worked out
Yay, glad it all worked out!
So impressed that you managed to blog after moving! I’ve never properly moved house, but moving in and out of accommodation during university has been interesting to say the least. I completely understand what you mean about having a nice small room, sometimes you just don’t need the space.
And your own bathroom? That’s incredible! Enjoy it
i heard NYC just got it’s first country station!! yay!!! so glad to hear it! aldean is a country king right now, and i’ve heard his shows are great!
Oh yay for the new move! I moved exactly a month ago, and I too was blessed to find a two bedroom, two bath in NYC. I absolutely hate packing and unpacking. You have to do it strategically, and I totally suck at that! lol. Good luck with the new place!
Yay, glad it worked out for you!
