Episode notes

A big part of levelling up in adulthood for us has been moving past those university-dorm-room living habits and creating an actual adult home. Because anyone who’s ever called their parents asking for laundry tips or cooking questions knows...adulthood hits differently when you have your shit together at home!

So this is your quick and dirty guide to all the kitchen tools you *actually* need now that you’re adulting, the scoop about everything from pans and knives, to linens and laundry, grown-ass bedding and those fancy touches that will make your space functional and elevated. Are laundry tips sexy? No. Are we all trying to figure this stuff out? Yes. We hope this episode shows you that you DON’T need to wait for a wedding registry to get nice things that make you feel at home where you live, because even small investments in yourself and how you live can make a huge difference in your happiness and efficiency.

And even though we’re covering a lot of things that you can buy for your place, we just want to flag that today’s advice isn’t all about spending a lot of money and acquiring a bunch of stuff. This can all be really budget-friendly, so wherever you’re at with your living situation and your budget, and whether you rent or own, know that you can follow these tips with super limited savings!

Tune in as we chat about:

The kitchen tools and unexpected appliances that are actually worth it
The essential kitchen knives you need and how to care for them
The different pans on the market and why we’re cast iron and non-stick fans
Fancy dishware, glassware and barware for your home
Why a good, luxurious bed is the best investment you can make
How steamers, air purifiers and humidifiers will change the game in your bedroom (and skincare routine)
The lowdown on linens: how many you need, and the right way to launder them
How a good couch can make your living room whole and how to get one on a dime
The importance of mood lighting and music
Which plant babies are the easiest to take care of and will look cute in your home

We hope this episode inspires you to make your home feel like yours, and to invest in easy upgrades that will make all the difference in your grownup space.
