Y'all... hoarding is soo real!! 😩 I try to tell myself, if you haven't used it in a whole year (all 4 seasons), you don't need it! I'm currently in an apt with no storage which forced me to get rid of some things, but I'm STILL trying to purge

Goo Gone will take care of that adhesive residue! 

I've lived in the same place my whole life... making plans to leave in the next few years. I'm so scared to take the leap but I think that's why I need to go.

Hey!! Thank you sooo much for this!! My daughter us relocating soon and this will be sooo helpful to her!! 

Having a new home is exciting but packing and moving is stressful. You don’t realize how much stuff you squirrel away until you have to pack up your life of 10 yrs. I packed my own things but hired movers. Wasnt about to carry shit up 3 flights

My apartment is a block from a new target. that's what sold me

This week’s episode of #TheFriendZone is brought to you by Target.

Dustin and Assanté left their homes in their early 20s (Detroit + Atlanta) in pursuit of their dreams. Fran left her home in her late 30s (NYC) in pursuit of peace. We'll share what leaving home is like - from deciding where to go, to what to take and what to leave. Moving trucks. Finding homes in unfamiliar cities and neighborhoods. Finding work. Leaving old friends and loves. Leaving family. Making new friends. And starting life from scratch as an adult in a new city.

Change of Address - A Bonus Episode Sponsored By Target

This week on #TheFriendZone, Assanté creeps out Fran and Dustin with a conversation about the new tech updates showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024.
