These are great tips! As someone who has moved 15 times lol, I would also add that when packing dishes and heavy platters, place them in the box vertically, not lying down flat. If you lay them down flat on each other you risk the ones on the bottom breaking from the weight of the others on top of them. All it takes is the truck going over one good sized bump in the road and you'll end up with more than a few cracked dishes.

Amazing tip!
Thanks!!
Thank you!!!!
@@matylda4925 thank you
I’m moving into a house from an apartment I’m so exited
saaaaamee
peachy same, a house with three floors 😌
Sammmmeere
Me too!!
same i'm so excited and it's hopefully gonna be 3 floors :D
Who else is nervously/excitedly watching this video!!! I move to Memphis Tennessee in two months😱😱
OMG the handles on boxes tip. I'm so gonna use this when I move!
Good hacks! As someone who has moved dozens of times myself, the first thing I do before a move is create a "Moving Kit" I take a plastic tote with a handle that I normally store craft supplies in and put all the supplies in it we will need during the moving process: tape, markers, box cutters, work gloves, a multitool, first aid kit, wet wipes, ziploc bags. For long distance moves, I've learned to include an extra phone charger, prescription medicines, granola bars, licenses and shot records for our pets. When we take apart furniture, all the parts go in the moving box labeled in their own zip bags.
Better hack for string to tape- just fold under at the tip creating a flap to grap and peel
that garbage bags on clothes was god level genious👍 #iapprove
I always used to get boxes from supermarkets when I was younger but now it's like getting blood from a stone! They all just say they get taken away 🙁
The trash bags for clothes one is the BEST. I've done it to go from dorm, to apartment, to back home and it saves SO much time to pack and unpack!
These are great tips. I've moved a lot over the years too and my No. 1 tip, if you're moving right into your new place, is get your bed set up and made, then you can fall into it after a long, hard day of moving. My No. 2 tip, is put your kitchen essentials in one box, i.e., kettle, coffee maker, tea and coffee, couple of mugs and cutlery and don't forget your milk, cream, sugar if you use them. Hope your move goes smoothly Becky.
Absolutely i have done the same way to easy this way 👌👍
If your things will be in storage for awhile, try to keep plastic off and out of your belongings, it holds in moisture..also dont pack w. newspaper for long term storage..its a whole new ball park if your storing your belongings. love this video, thanks for the help.
Omg the string under the packing tape is genius. Thank you!
Labeling with sharpie is much easier than carrying around several colors of stickers
Yep! I agree @dominicroman3. KISS...Keep it simple sweetie? Label boxes by location...and categories if you are a maximalist...Donate or Bin. Kitchen ~ electrical, cooking, entertaining, crockery, glassware, etc.. Bin or Donate. Lounge ~ books, tv, lamps, remotes, etc.. Office ~ etc.. Bathroom. Donate or Bin. Bedroom 1,2,3+. Linen Press. Laundry. Bin or Donate. And so on... Underestimate how much you think you will need.
Then do the bleeding obvious and Bin and Donate BEFORE you leave, And request the boxes be put where they will be unpacked when you or the removalist deliver them to the new place. Kitchen boxes in the kitchen. Bathroom box in the bathroom. And if you decluttered you will not have more boxes than storage space.
Depending on my timeframe I can take three weeks to three months to pack and be settled in three days once I arrive. Of course I can take three weeks to three months to 'learn' how to operate in my new space.
I know this works because one year I was given notice that a house was available to me just as I was given three week full time work And the removalist offered to move me on the 23rd...December...and I had family over for dinner on the 24th and the house was set up bar half a dozen boxes...and...my youngest's bedroom. And if I remember correctly, the Christmas tree was up too.
I agree @dominicroman I agree I do my name and then where it is from so let's say my is lizzy so I would but lizzy's shelf decor it more effective
Labeling with sharpies is fine if you’re not worried about movers going through your things. As someone whose family had valuables stolen by movers, I will not label boxes with the names of the rooms they belong in or the contents.
I roll my clothes and put them in a plastic bin. I can fit about 30 shirts/blouses in a bin and it takes up a LOT LESS space than a large wardrobe box full of clothes on hangers.
We’re moving into our first house and I’m so nervous! I’m mainly overthinking packing, so content like this is super helpful!
Just fold the end of the tape on itself so it's like a pull tab. Just like when it's on the roll. You'll never lose the end of the roll again.
I use this daily as an electrician. Great tip.
Yes! I do this all the time. It's great for gifts too.
Or just cut the tape...like...with a box opener or something.....
I'm moving 1.500 miles away by an airplane, driving takes 3 days and I can't stand that long road trip. So I decided to take just a luggage and my important stuff. I sold everything so I'll buy everything again from scratch. It's way cheaper, easier, faster and you get new suff if you move that far.
Yes! I've done this for 2 moves abroad, and it's definitely the way 😁 The shops are always open, so I just brought what was irreplaceable.
I hope your move went well, and you're happy in your new place x
We just bought a house I'm so excited and I need to start packing I'm so happy!
Makeup brushes in a coffee mug? Becky, that's brilliant! Thanks for the tips.
I have been in packaging field for last 5 years...and recently i just shifted my house to near by area and used good grade boxes and tape for maximum security of my house holds... but I was quite surprised with the quality of this particular tape and was very strong compared to normal tapes we find around. If you want to try, Checkout "MS98" tapes in amazon
i came home to my current house as a baby and move after tomorrow to a penthouse and bring along a fish dog and 2 birds
I just moved for the 31st time in my adult life today 🙄😪 so over it lol!
To go with your first tip, I used all the plastic bags I've been saving (because I won't throw them out lol) as padding and they worked great!
Edit: now I see you added that as tip 6 lmao!
Love the string under the tape hack 👌🏻
Good tips, love the bin bags over hangers! However, plastic bags are so hard to find in my country and also no to store boxes and the tops are almost always cut off.Get boxes from someone who knows someone who just moved house. Go on Facebook or wherever and ask.
Newbie to your channel! I can’t thank you enough for all the moving tips! I’m 58 and have had Multiple Sclerosis for 22 years. It’s much harder for me with this 3rd move due to my disability and your hacks are so helpful!!!
I used a lot of bubble wrap the last time I moved- genius idea on using already owned blankets and towels to pad items! If you put socks in shoes/ purses, it will take longer to find things when unpacking
This is how I know for sure my phone listens to my conversations lol we was talking about moving
I'M SO EXCITED TO BE MOVING! What videos should I film in the new place? x
TalkBeckyTalk you should do a video of how your unpack and organise things ❤️❤️
Definitely! Such a good idea, what about a makeup collection video? x
TalkBeckyTalk yeah that's a great idea
maybe a house Tour or Tips how to get your Stuff organized or cozy?
TalkBeckyTalk thank you so much for this, I'm going though this too at the moment so it's like we do it together! Love your shirt and glittery nails! Can't wait for more house move and hacks!!! 😘
Honestly, who peels the tape off of boxes? It literally takes 1 second to just use a box cutter/knife. If for whatever reason there isn't one available, you could even use a key, or the corner of a credit card/license/whatever.
Just pull up slightly on one of the box flaps, enough to take the slack out of the tape, and then just pierce the tape wherever it is securing the flap you're holding by puncturing the middle of the seam. Within one or two tries, you should easily be able to open most boxes simply by strategically puncturing the tape in 3 spots, or even just 2 with luck or by practice.
This is by far the easiest, lowtech method to open a box as you can literally use practically anything you have handy to poke a hole in the tape. (Note: this trick only works if the boxes is sealed with packaging tape; if the box is sealed with duct tape, you won't be able to break the tape clean just by puncturing it, so you would need something sharp to cut through it. However, it's not likely to come to that, because duct tape is not the ideal tape for cardboard boxes since it loses its adherence rather easily. It's very probable that the tape will peel off on its own, so you really don't need to worry about cutting it anyway.)
Go to dollar general. I’m about to move states and I went into dollar general asked for boxes and they gave them to me!
this is very, very, very helpful. I'm going to be moving in 8 months and excited about it because I've been looking forward to it since junior year in nigh school. now, I'm a senior in high school and ready to leave the nest.
Getting ready to move to a new house and I really appreciate this content. Good luck with your move.
I know this is an old video, but I move at the end of the month and this was SO helpful, thank you!!
Samee
Same!!
thank you so much! was so helpful. hope your moving journey isn't to stressful!
Great tips. My favourite was the one you saved for last (ie. the string). Keep up the good work !!!
I'm looking forward to the moving on my period hacks video!
this is an old video.. but it’s so helpful! i move temporarily every winter for 3 months for work. love these hacks!!!! lifesaver
My husband and I are moving out of state and it's the first time we are moving. Thank you for this awesome video
If only I had seen this before I just moved! I can't wait to see how you make your house all cosy and gorgeous! So looking forward to this new chapter in your life! xx
I’ve only moved once and it was from my parents house to the house my husband and I bought. I didn’t have much stuff at the time so it was an easy move. Now, 6 years later, we’re packing up our house so we can put it on the market. It’s so much harder when you accumulate more stuff. I’m ready for this process to be over!
I've got a feeling I've watched this before, but I've enjoyed it just as much the second time around!
These are terrific hacks. I'm not moving, but I know someone who is and could use these tips.
Moving on the first of next month & I'm so glad I looked this up. I was just about to buy clear containers around $50ish. Not bad but the move is costing a lot already lol. Thanks for this!!
I’ve moved houses 2 times and this week it’s gonna be the 3rd! Yay I’ve already seen my house in pictures but not face to face. I am soo grateful that I’m finally getting a bigger room with my sister!
I’m moving house tomorow and I haven’t packed my room yet 😂
How'd ya go? 🤣
same omg i literally start moving at 6:00am and rn it's 12:50am and nothing is packed haha
Paige Lou-Anne Justice hey I only just saw this lol it was very noisy I under up finishing my packing the day before it was super boring lol and I don’t unpack my stuff until about a month ago lol
This girl KNOWS what shes talking about!! Ive used all of these tips
I'm moving out for the first time and plan to do it in a single day (I already don't have that much stuff) but these tips are super helpful! I've been looking for moving tips videos and they all seem to describe the process of saving money to do it rather than the actual moving of your things.
I love the plates tip - I was getting frustrated & worried about whether they'd smash. It's a very small move/distance but things which are fragile can still break in small distance moves. I also have always left clothes in hangers and just tied/bagged them. Thanks for helping make moving less stressful for others.
You can also fold the ends of the tape when you build your boxes. Will keep your nails cute!!🥰
The plastic bag trick is a must do! Especially for sheets sets, clothes, blankets, curtains because you can keep the while set together. And the hardware and screws in a storage bag too and make sure to secure it to what it goes to.
OMG I literally just moved last weekend! If only I had had these tips then :(( Great video though! These are all super helpful!
I’m hoping to move house properly for the first time - a whole house into another whole house. Thanks so much for these great tips!! X
This is about to be my 6th move and im only 13 hahaha but i love these hacks, thanks!
Haha same but like my 10th
the house i’m in right now i moved into when i was 6 and i was at school, so next month would technically be my first move that i’m actually witnessing 😅
I love this!! I'm planning to move in a few months and some of these hacks I've never even thought of!!
I’ve moved house about 6 times, and still can’t get it organized! Thanks for this video! May just film me packing and moving hehe
Omg the string trick and bagging your clothes on the hangers! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I'm moving soon as well, this was perfect!
Moving house next week ,thank you so much for your tips 🙏
Really helpful - I already do most of these things but picked up a few new ideas as well.
the string hack is SO smart!
We are on our 7th Army move, heading to Europe in a month! Good hacks, especially the bin bags for clothes. I'm going to do that before the movers come!
Kimberly Holt sorry were late but welcome to europe !
I'm about to move for the 56th time in my life (yes, I did say 56th. Don't ask) and have used most of the hacks you mention...but we always learn something new! I loved the empty toilet paper roll for necklaces! Brilliant! Thank you!
Great ideas here Becky, thanks so much and wishing you all the best in your new home and on your new adventure.
I’m moving house this Saturday and it’s my first time and I’m 12 😂💞
Loved them but most of all the hanging clothes in a bin bag! what a save from extra work and stress. So simple, so clever. Thank you :-)
I cannot do the whole clothes in rubbish/garbage bags. Knew a girl at Uni whose clothes were chucked in the bins. It was university accomidation, so we luckily had cleaners who took the bins out. She left all the bin bags of clothes in the kitchen on cleaning day - her moving day - and the cleaners mistook them for rubbish. Her siblings and her ended up dumpster diving to get her clothes back. To be fair to them, there were several people who would be lazy enough to leave massive bags of rubbish in the kitchen on cleaning day.
Thank you for smart inexpensive methods for moving! You also have a delightful, upbeat, personality, which generally missing in me when I move. I heard classical music helps keep the mind clear when I get overwhelmed. It did help. I also listen to my favorite music as a balm to calm down or regain my energy. Having ADD, I have to take breaks OUTSIDE more often. Grateful to you! Jennifer (did subscribe) moving soon. Saved me $$$! 💜 j
Currently moving today. So stressful and don't feel happy moving into my new place even though it seems perfect. Love ya x
Thanks for these great tips, this is the first video of yours I’ve watched and you definitely deserve an extra subscriber,
We went to look at houses today and we got one! I’m so happy.
We’re doing a boot sale on Sunday.
We’re going to pick up the keys next Friday and then we’ll start packing, since we have lots of stuff, these tips will be very useful.
I love the hanged clothes plastic bag hack 🥰 I have one day to pack everything on my own. Wish me luck tomorrow
Wow . I love the clothes in bags on hangers idea . They are all great ideas though .
Becky you seem so happy in this video! all the best with this move and thanks for the great hacks :)
All the best wishes for your moving. Hope everything goes smoothly👍
On boxes: absolutely right- DO NOT BUY BOXES...i get the best boxes at car auto spares shops.. they get parts in them... they are of the best quality and different sizes. They usually get thrown out back... i usually number my boxes according to the room with a list on the side : kitchen #1- cutlery ... Dining room #1 - glass vases etc ...this way i also know if any boxes are missing
Moving is the ONLY OPPORTUNITY to get rid of items not needed/worn/used ... two birds with one stone
i love these hacks i watch your videos everyday you inspire me so much we are moving soon so i am DEFINITLY showing my mum this video
This was so helpful! I am going to be moving this month! :D
You should do a video on which project to start first. . there are many projects and the question is where to start!
This was a great video! So nicely done.
I am about to move house, my family bought a house on the weekend and we are moving in 6 weeks😬🥳😁
Thank you.. I have given a friend some barely used makeup. I don't like to toss out stuff, because it seems wasteful, But I am more than happy to donate to friends, or a charity.. I love string on boxes, because it keeps tops on, and easy to hold on to.
I'm moving in a week with my mum, ty for the tips! Love Rachel Xx
OMG me too I'M living with mum until the new house! Would you like to see some room tour videos? x
Thanks Becky! I love your look in this video as well 😊. Your eyeshadow is beautiful!
I will hopefully be moving this year at some point so this was really helpful thanks for the great video ❤️
Clever girl. Beauty and brains. Can't wait to see your new home. Thanks
Miss Beauty and Brains misspelled 'lounge' as 'longue'
Zane Wolf Except she wasn’t trying to spell ‘lounge’ though you fucking know it all. Google what a Chaise Longue is and then apologise for being a sarcastic little prick
Great tips. This will be the smoothest move of my LIFE
Thanks so much this will really help my mum cause we are planing on moving so I'm going to show my mum this video
Thank you so much!! You made moving so much less daunting!
Sooo many useful tips. They really come in handy as I am about to move!
What a great hacks, one of mine friends are going to move within weeks, I will send her this video so see can use all these great hacks, Thanks for sharing this, I loved it. Good luck with moving.💕
I’ve only moved a few times, the last time we moved I was 8, and as a child I wasn’t responsible. At 17, moving as a low income family, and a sudden move because of my landlord not taking care of the home the way Section 8 requires.. it’s very stressful. We just got the eviction letter and now I’ve begun to pack things. Hopefully we find a nice place. It’s just such a stressful day and everything is so scary. As someone with extreme depression and anxiety moving is so hard.
Nicely done, some valuable tips..always used bath and dish towels to pack and always rolled not folded (from the military) ..good video, good job..hope your new residence will work out for you !
Very helpful and beautifully illustrated! Thank you ⭐️
@1:36 I am using that tip for the first time..... I love it 😍 it saves so much time!
Loveeeeddd this! I moved from New York to LA. I vlogged about it! Totally wish I had seen this before! ❤️
Ahhhh Becky! Thank you for doing this video and the hacks are all super!! Labelling wires, clearing out and using towels, bedding etc my fave hacks!
I am so looking forward to moving next month and I will be an organised packer with these hacks!!
Thanks again!! Xx
Hey lovely so glad you enjoyed it! Do you have any video request from the new place? X
This was so useful - really loved watching it Becky xax
Big love Back! What videos would you like from the new place? X
TalkBeckyTalk I'm a laid back viewer - whatever you feel like putting out. As a full time UA-camr myself I know how hard putting your entire life out there can be sometimes especially if you feel pressure to do so. So whatever inspires you I'll happily watch 💕xax
Excellent! Thanks so much for creating this great video! I've subscribed after watching this!
Great tips!.. Thank you so much for sharing. I didn't know where or how to start.
Your hacks will really help me when i move in a couple of months thmx Becky
Wow. 20 times?! I've only moved once in my life (from my parents house to my own house) and that was pretty easy because we didn't have much of anything to move. Now we have a whole house of furniture and moving that sounds really hard.
Amber Shafer I can only imagine this. I'm currently in move number 46!
