in this video i want to share with you some things in my house that just makes sense so i've seen a
lot of tick tocks like this but usually they're talking about in-built structural things that are
quite expensive whereas in this video i want to talk about things that a lot of people would be
able to replicate in their own house these are little environmental additions to your space
that just make your life a little bit better we'll start with the before you leave station with all
of the essential stuff there's sunscreen to put on before you go on a walk there are sunglasses that
you can chuck on a hat plus a place to put your keys so that you don't lose them secondly is an
air tag that attaches itself to my keys i'm always losing my keys when i'm running late to something
so i got an air tag for my keys this stops the wild frenzy every time i put my keys somewhere
weird a box that my phone lives in while i work this box sits behind the curtains so it's not in
arm's length of me i can't see my phone visibly while i work it's kind of annoying to get out
because it's sitting behind a curtain and it's in a box so it's not distracting me
but it's also accessible if i need it for example if i need to get a code from the bank
or i want to take an instagram story during the day then i have a chore chart with daily
weekly and monthly chore tasks this keeps chores visible and it's also good to have there while i'm
waiting for things so if i'm waiting for something to cook in the microwave i can have a quick look
at the chore chart and then tick off one of the little chores next i have an alarm clock that is
in my lounge room that way when i hear my alarm i get up i walk all the way to the lounge room and
then i turn it off i like having it here because it gets me up and moving in the morning especially
on a winter morning and it makes it less likely that i'm going to snooze and go back to bed
i always have frozen meals in the freezer that way if you feel like takeaway or if you just feel
like something different to whatever meals you've prepped for the week you're less inclined to waste
money but you're still going to feel like you have a good option next i have this tray table that is
from ikea i use this all the time to take my meals outside to sit and eat and read while i'm in bed
to chill with my food on the couch it makes sure that i don't get things messy that it's easy to
transport things and that i can also read while i eat in my office i have a batch of birthday cards
these are cards that i usually buy for specific people i usually add to this pile whenever i
am out on a holiday and i go into a cute boutique or if i'm visiting the markets and i see
cute cards and usually i am buying for specific people that way the cards still feel personalized
but i buy the cards at whatever time so it could be seven months until someone's birthday but i've
already got a birthday card stored in my birthday card pile it's such a little thing but it saves
so much stress when someone's birthday comes around right near my big batch of birthday cards
i have a big roll of brown wrapping paper you can get something like this from most office supply
shops and it's a lifesaver if i have a birthday i never have to worry about getting specific
wrapping paper because i have this beautiful brown wrapping paper that can be made into
whatever i want it to be made into for example all of these pinterest images are just brown
wrapping paper that's been decorated if you look up brown wrapping paper ideas on pinterest you'll
see that you really have no need for other wrapping paper in our bedroom we have double
curtains there are ikea blackout curtains on the back and then i have nicer curtains on the front
right now we can't install blinds and most blackout curtains just aren't very good looking
so having a double curtain firstly makes it even more black out but also makes things look nicer
in my office which is small i always have a white fold up guest chair that way if someone comes in
i'm getting their help with something i always have a chair that i can quickly pull out
doesn't take up too much space and i can set up for them next automatic bug spray i live
in australia i live in a converted shed we have bugs so most of these automatic bug spray cans
are set up so that they go off every 15 minutes and usually i like to do it at night it's a
spray mist that is safe for people and for pets based on an ingredient from a daisy flower that
is in tasmania i am so appreciative for these little machines and i barely notice them they
just go in the background in the shower i have this little container and inside of it i have
my toothbrush and some toothpaste alongside my cleanses that way i can do pretty much all of my
nighttime like hygiene routine in the shower i wash my hair i brush my teeth i scrub my face then
i can hop out of the shower and right there is the body moisturizer that i can chuck all over myself
and the leave-in conditioner this body moisturizer particularly has saved my dry skin during winter i
was having so many problems like genuine flaking skin this is the only thing that has helped i've
also got the facial version alongside this i also have mini waste baskets all around the house this
is pretty much catering to laziness no matter where you are there is always going to be a bin
so your rubbish will not end up on the table on the bench on the floor charges in every single
room of the house this is something i built up over time like years mainly because charges are
just expensive but because i often move around the house to read books or just scroll through social
media whatever it is that i'm doing i don't want to have to pick up and move my charger from one
room to the next if my phone isn't on high battery so i've got charges in every space in the house
that doesn't have to happen i also should mention this wireless charger that my partner got me for
my birthday i think it's just from amazon and i use it to charge my earpods i love it it makes
it so much more likely that my airpods will be charged it sounds like such a small difference
plugging something in versus just placing it on a charging mat but it makes a world of difference my
airpods are charged much more than they would be otherwise in the lamps around the house we have
orange or just really warm light bulbs these lamps pretty much only go on at night and i try to keep
the overhead lights off because these are so warm they don't mess with my sleep i'm sleepier earlier
and also it just makes my face feel really cozy i really love having really warm lamps if i chuck
those lamps on and a candle it's an absolute mood if you liked this video you might like my
