Choosing to move out itself is a big and conscious decision. Many of my girlfriends are living all by themselves and making ends meet like complete lady bosses. If they already didn’t know, they have my respect and admiration. While the initial months are tough to get around, it gets better with time. If you’ve just moved into your new apartment and it’s your first time living alone, here are 9 basic household items you need to have in your home. (Happy shopping, ladies!)
1. Ek Do Teen Wall Clock
Call me old-fashioned, but I like having a wall clock in my house. Just in case I run out of phone juice and lose track of time, I know my wall clock won’t fail me. I wish the same for you! Plus, this pretty wall clock is too cute to not pick up, especially if you’re a Bollywood buff!

4. Godrej 30 L Mini Qube Personal Cooling Solution
