For your bathroom items to keep from spilling: Don't use an entire ziplock bag for each bottle! Take small squares of Saran wrap. Open bottle, put over the opening, close lid on top. Same exact idea, just without wasting ziplocks! 🙃
So tired from packing all day it took me a moment to realize this "satan wrap" was actually me missreading and not some nickname for the stuff. My brain just went with it and i thought "yeah i guess it can be pretty annoying when it like sticks together idk" wth 😂
Decluttering is the first tip. Then organize your shirts, pants, and dresses together like she said. You can use clear bins or cleat see through zip up under the bed storage link at the dollar tree. Or just use what you have such as baskets. Only use trash bags when you wrap up hung up clothes to avoid anything from getting thrown away.
Young woman is amazing! I have moved 14 times I’m getting ready to move from my 15th time and most of those were corporate moves so they were all taken care of and I didn’t have to do anything this time. I definitely have to do some stuff and this young woman has so many great ideas. This has been the best video how to on moving that I have seen and I’ve been watching dozens of them, thank you so much, Mallory!
Thabk you Mallory, This was so great for me. I've bad PTSD and my concentration and planning skills have disappeared. I've been so anxious about moving. It's felt like a herd of elephants I have to eat (instead of the proverbial one!) I took notes...! For the first time, I feel like I can do this. 🙂
Great tips! Thank you so much! I use grocery store bags to keep shoes from touching other items in my suitcase when traveling. Another hack I would like to add in is, I use clothing like T-shirts to wrap my glass items in instead of newspaper. I usually wash the clothing afterward, but this works better for me.
Hi Mallory, great tips, however the tape x on the mirror is for when the glass breaks it doesn't go everywhere, it does not proctect it unless you use some sort of padding especially in the corners
I had to move the contents of my four bedroom home into a storage unit temporarily last year. That labelling system isn’t gonna cut it. Each box needs the room it goes in plus a number and before you tape it up you take a photo of the contents including the box number. This is now your digital inventory system and will help you make it easier to find things. It will still be difficult but not impossible. You can thank me later. 😉
Better hack for packing plates, use disposable plates & put one in between each plate. It’s way cheaper than parchment paper, that shizz is expensive. 😂 I also have an unlimited amount of grocery bags and use those to wrap things in.
Thank you so much. We're heading into a cross-country move in South Africa and this video removes sooooo much of the anxiety. Nicely done, relevant, practical & brilliant!
I love the parchment paper idea for packing dishes. I wrap my dishes in cling wrap, so I don't have to wash them when I arrive at the new place. You could do parchment between each item to help cushion them too!!
Start packing and declutter as you go it’s a waste of time to declutter then go back and pack. If you haven’t organized your clothes now is not the time. As you pack your clothes declutter and get organized in the new place it should be easier because now you have less stuff. There were some good tips tho.
Not a great idea for me since I have many things that I have been carting around for years and want to get rid of now!! By decluttering, you are not bringing stuff to your new place to have to then get rid of.
Hate moving but some tips are great.I learned you can only pack TV with bubble wrap ,plastic wrap can leave screen swipes.Try to get boxes,egg and apple boxes from grocery are great also tshirts for packing and old pages of magazines,crumpled up.Newspaper is hard to find now,and no more plastic shopping bags since they are bad for environment.I use a piece of cardboard over mirror and picture glass aside from tape.Yes Label per room a new number.K for kitchenLR for living room,B for bedroom,Ba for bath ,P for porch etc Works great for finding things.Any hints on mattress covers you used to get that at Bed bath and beyond.Also Home Depot better for bubble wrap and tuffy tubs etc than Wal-Mart?
Great video! This is really helpful. Moving is stressful and to be prepared getting things in order is essential. You have a new subscriber! Keep up the amazing work!!!
The tape on mirror does not prevent it from shattering, you need to pad it well too! The tape simply helps keeping the shards in place if the mirror does brake.
I’m loving all of your videos so far! One of them popped up on my suggested feed so I decided to check out your channel since I love organizing, decluttering, and minimalism. You’re definitely off to an amazing start!! Keep up the good work 😊
Put them in a pot or saucepan with kitchen towels or pillowcases wrapped around them. Put the proper lids on the filled pots with a small washcloth or chamois over it and put them on upside down so the knobs on top won’t be in the way of packing them into boxes, easily stacking them. Use a small bit of packing tape to secure the lids on the pots.
Thank you! I was telling my brother this he has a huge place and he owns a business, he has 2 little girls he works from 4:30 AM to evening's, and I'm normally his nanny but I'm leaving for a month, his wife is leaving for a month, and the grandma is leaving for a month plus he has his daughter's birthday and I like you're gonna be all on your own And hes not paying attention! Lol I told him hes gonna have a hard time guess hes gonna take it on himself
@@ellieanderson2823 You probably know this, but they're not the same thing. They'd serve the same purpose in this context though. But the products themselves are separate. Wax paper probably works a little better for this application and should be cheaper, even though I think both are a waste. I just didn't want someone to think they can use wax paper in place of parchment for cooking or anything like that.
Most of this is great but why wouldn't you just label the boxes bathroom, kitchen, etc. Very tedious and complicated to do colour coding ... I don't believe the finalists will care enough to remember which colour goes with what room 🤷♀️
Instead of packing, I'm procrastinating by looking for moving hacks.🙂 Your video has some great ideas.
Me 3 😂
This is what i do also 😂
Oh, the accuracy. 😎
Same!!!😂
Same 😭

YES!! I have learned this & it is a GREAT hack!!
GREAT idea!!! I’m about to pack those and doing this - thank you!

My tips are to use your towels and sheets, clothes etc to pack your breakables then you are packing 2 at once.
Some alternatives:
pack your shoes in plastic grocery bags
Wrap your dishes and cups with your shower towels and kitchen towels
Her : you have to start packing 2-4 weeks early
Me : Starts packing 1 day before
Packing 2 months and throwing away a lot. Don't think about it just do it!!!

I knew that didn’t sound right. Lol. I’d thought “ooorrr…..you can pad the corners/edges” lol
Literally just commented this! Good thing others know this too.

Plastic grocery bags can be used for your shoes too
Genius!

One comment mentioned using paper plates in between plates. Good idea. Can even use them again

Thank you I’m moving & this helped a bunch. Moving can make you overwhelmed really fast.
Am procrastinating because I can't get rid of stuff... ...😢😅 Kitchen gadgets, clothes, shoes, even an old rug .... Needed your incentive 😉
Great ideas! Thank you! Eating after a move is a thing. Meal plan is an underrated excellent idea after the stress of a move. 🎉

Wish I had watched this before I moved lol. Loved this
Mallory Hudson, amazing video I really liked it
I especially liked the marks that allowed me to skip to the next tip if I wanted.
I watch this video every time I need motivation to pack. Haha. So far this is the 3rd time, and hopefully last time. Moving every year sucks.
Really helpful 👌, God bless you more 🙏 You Earned my subscription

Omg! Thank you so much!
Or if you have plastic bags to wrap your shoes I've found that helpful too
Ok, some good tips, but I need to know how to pack breakables like crysta vases and statutes and stuff . Do you have a video like that?
Great video. Helpful tips
Enjoyed your video. Tried using your link to the Packing & Declutter Schedule and I couldn’t get it to work. 😢
Lots of tips and tricks…thanks for sharing
Just found your videos not to love ago. I am in the process of moving been 3 year since I last move.
Great tips. Thank you for sharing 🇬🇧
I'd use kraft paper and not parchment. Big rolls are much cheaper.
Great ideas!!❤
Thank your for useful tips
Good job!
Instead of parchement paper it's also an idea to use party plates or newspaper to pack them safely
How do you even find newspaper anymore? And besides, it dirties your dishes big time
spillproofing liquids is a great hack.
Amazing video
How about mugs of tea pots? ❤️
Put them in a pot or saucepan with kitchen towels or pillowcases wrapped around them. Put the proper lids on the filled pots with a small washcloth or chamois over it and put them on upside down so the knobs on top won’t be in the way of packing them into boxes, easily stacking them. Use a small bit of packing tape to secure the lids on the pots.
So useful, thnx 😍
Thanks
I want to pull my hair out I have so much stuff and like 10 days to pack and I work
Thank you!

Lol I told him hes gonna have a hard time guess hes gonna take it on himself
Hi Mallory, I hope you’re doing well! I miss your content. I hope to see you soon!!! 🌼
Thanks!
You said that all you need to wrap each dish in parchment paper, except that the label on the box says wax paper. I'm confused
same thing

I thought the x is for the glass/mirror to be easily seen 😅
Most of this is great but why wouldn't you just label the boxes bathroom, kitchen, etc. Very tedious and complicated to do colour coding ... I don't believe the finalists will care enough to remember which colour goes with what room 🤷♀️
It's for when you use a moving company that you don't trust fully. Labeling boxes gets them stolen so some people don't want to label.
So i have to organize my house first to then MOVE 😂😂
Love your channel! Love from Ghana!
Thanks Sarah!💗
You're too organized for me! Great video.
My shit was never organized to begin with...😢
You gonna wanna.😂
2-4 weeks ain’t got that long am moving in 3 weeks
This is so weird! my friends name is Mallory Hudson
I wish I had more time :(
Ah yes, my many dresses! (I’m a guy)
