Although getting my own place is on my list of things to do in 2016 as opposed to this year, I still can’t help getting a little dreamy about the days to come when I’ll swan about in my Cath Kidston heart print apron, making cookies and cupcakes with all my Lakeland homeware stuff (I don’t even bake but clearly a minor, minor detail)
Please don’t shout at me because I know that the reality will not be half as fun as the fantasy (AKA who really wants to have to clean the kitchen/bathroom/bedroom) but sometimes it’s all about the little things your own space enables you to do. Here’s 10 reasons why I get all excited about moving out…
1. I will finally be able to keep all my lotions and potions in the bathroom. I can’t wait for the day I have my entire skin collection on hand as opposed to having to lug it back and forward into my room every single time I want to get my cleansing, toning and moisturising vibes on.
2. I can shower after midnight without guilt I’ll wake someone up . Not that I consider it fun or anything, but when I’m reverting to my true status as a Night Owl I’ve a long list of things to do and washing my hair just ain’t top of the priority list. I can’t wait for the first 1AM shower I’ll take with a Spotify playlist blasting and no fear of being annoying! (Side note: Does anyone else make playlists for showers?)
3. I can actually have space for a desk. Because right now I own so much crap my room is basically what feels like a massive IKEA wardrobe with a bed in it, with the blogging hub reporting directly from my duvet.When I have a desk I’ll fill it with vases of flowers from all my admirers and plenty of heart shaped post it notes.
4. Buying all the food in the fridge myself. This translates to no Beetroot or Cheese entering the vicinity. Oh what a happy place my life will be!
5. I can eventually have lust inducing, blogger cliche make up storage. Sure I’m currently down with the whole Make up brushes in the IKEA plant pot thing but my ‘getting ready area’ right now? The space on top of a pile of magazines. 
6. A double bed, cause life’s just better when ya’ can’t touch the sides.
7. Same as my makeup dilemmas, but with shoe space. Window ledges and heels cause many a tricky problem.
8. I won’t have to hide new clothes when I get a little crazy with my debit card & ASOS premier. This basically means being able to bring stuff home in the original packaging as opposed to seeing how much can go un noticed in an overflowing handbag.
9. One day all my post cards, books and nicknacks will have a home that isn’t a box under the bed or a hidden section of the wardrobe. 
10. No bad food. How am I supposed to diet (or even type this?!) when I know some chocolate ice cream lurks somewhere in the freezer.
