The best advice for anyone who lives alone

Fire extinguisher - Get a fire extinguisher and learn how to use it! Even if you already have a fire extinguisher in your home, you might not have thought about actually using it before. 

The spider slayer -
Get an extendable vacuum if you can’t stand dealing with bugs and spiders. A long vacuum cleaner will take care of the problem and you don’t need to get too close.

Get the practical basics -
Get yourself a few household basics that are likely to come in handy. It’s good to have basic tools, especially screwdrivers, as well as spare light bulbs, and a plunger.

Change the locks - When you first move into your new place you can change the locks. This way you know you’re the only one who has the keys.

Stay connected -
Make sure to keep in touch with your loved ones and supportive friends. Perhaps schedule a weekly call with friends and family so you don’t become too disconnected.

Cooking for one - Cooking for one can often lead to a lot of food waste, so it’s a good idea to plan your meals ahead and ensure you don’t over-buy at the grocery store.

Host friends and family -
Invite friends over for movie or games nights. This will help to make your home feel more lively and less disconnected from the outside world.

Make it feel like home -
If you’re used to other people making your home feel like home, it can be difficult to create that feeling when you live alone.

Plants are key -
In a strange way, having living plants can almost feel like company. Caring for them and watching them grow is quite therapeutic.

Get crafty -
You can also search for online DIY hacks for home decor and see what inspires you. It’s a fun way to focus your energy on something crafty and artistic too.
