Why House Arrest is Better than Moving Houses; Episode 148
57:06 Share

On today’s episode we’re helping you pack up, say goodbye, and start life afresh--it’s our HOW TO MOVE WELL EPISODE!  We’ll offer tips and tricks on hitting the ground running, and a few what not to do’s as well!

Plus... luxurious 90’s bedrooms, why house arrest may be the ultimate form of self care, and what may just be the best new potluck party theme idea we’ve ever heard of.

This episode was inspired by a question from a listener: 

“We are a military family who moves every 2-3 years. We are preparing for a move. In order to celebrate our time in this current location as well as to honor the friendships we've made, we plan to throw ourselves a "Goodbye Party." This will also be an efficient way to say goodbye to many people at one time. We've found when we move, it is such a busy time, we do not always have time for one-on-ones with individuals.

My question is: how do I word all this on an invitation? It feels awkward to call this a GoodBye party since we are hosting it ourselves! But that is what it is.

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: ANA LUISA

Ana Luisa brings exceptional jewelry into the life of every woman - one collection at a time. The creators of Ana Luisa come from the world of high-fashion jewelry, where they’ve spent years designing for the most coveted brands. Their mission is to offer the same high quality directly to you – without the high mark-up.

It takes 20 tons of earth mining to produce a single ring of gold. That’s why brands refuse to tell where their gold comes from. That’s why we use 100% recycled gold in our products. Cheap breakable jewelry is rarely recycled, it’s a huge waste for the environment.

Big brands charge you 10 times the cost of production - We eliminate the retail mark-up, keeping the prices as fair and accessible as possible.

Ana Luisa products come from the same jewelers as Tiffany’s and Louis Vuitton, we are so confident in our quality that we offer a complimentary one-year warranty on every product
