The Pink Apartment

Tonight is my last night in my girly pink everywhere apartment and my first blog post! Now the pink couch may be coming for the 800km drive but it will not be the focal point of our new living room.

The Pink Couch

Boxes have overtaken my basement apartment, but I'm ready to go and have been for a couple weeks already. I would 100% recommend that if you can, slowly pack (even a small one bedroom apartment) over a couple nights or even weeks- it will make for way less stress.

Boxes! Stored in the Harry Potter Room

However there is one thing that I have already managed to goof on (trust me there will be many of these moments along the way). I forgot to leave out a bottle opener! But have no fear I have a tool box! Now I can guarantee when my mom gave me this tool box a few years ago when I first moved out of her house that she would have never guessed this would be what I would use it for:

Stop! Wine Time

Step one: find a screw long enough to make it to the bottom of the cork- it's also helpful if you have a screwdriver that matches the screw
Step two: centre the screw in the middle of the cork and screw straight down- should be a little of the screw left on the top and a little bit in to the bottle (hint: pull all the foil off- it will make it easier to see what you are doing)
Step three: use a hammer to wiggle the cork out, adjust the side you pull from so you don't break the cork
Step four: pour yourself a big glass of wine, and enjoy the last night in your own apartment
