Moving house hacks 1. Declutter Before You Pack Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load. 2. Create an Inventory Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move. 3. Use Quality Packing Materials Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move. 4. Label Everything Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized. 5. Pack a 'First Day' Box Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day. 6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place. 7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury. 8. Colour-Code Your Boxes Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home.

Tori Spelling Removes Implants, Turns Them Into Decor
After revealing that people 'always give [her] shit' about the appearance of her breasts and how they look "wrecked", Tori Spelling shed a little insight on her past procedures, and the struggles she's dealt with because of them. During Monday's episode of her MisSpelling podcast, Tori answered fan questions, authentically and vulnerably, on how she feels about her breasts, the medical condition that makes her chest look sunken in, and her thoughts on implants now. She was diagnosed with pectus excavatum, sometimes referred to as "funnel chest," which is a condition that causes the center of her chest to "look like it's been scooped out," according to Mayo Clinic. 'It's a bone thing, and it's genetic," she revealed. "Some of my kids have it as well. Obviously, it ran in my family, and it's just, like, your bone plate is raised higher. So there's no way to ever fill in that gap. It was just something I was born with. But I hate when they're like, 'Oh God, your boobs are wrecked. Look at that.' I'm like, 'No, those are my bones. They're not wrecked. They're me.'' The 52-year-old mother of five recalled not even knowing what size her breast implants were at one point, but 'they were, like, twenty years expired and needed to be redone, which I didn't know when I did them the first time that that would ever be the case. I was young and didn't understand.' 'I got to say, I don't know. I don't love my boobs,' Tori said. 'I was hoping this time, when I got them redone, because I needed to get them redone, like medically, I was hoping that they would be smaller.' But she's never liked the way they looked in clothing, and while 'I don't believe in regrets, if I could go back and tell my, like, 19-year-old self, I would never have gotten my boobs done. I look at my old boobs, and I'm just like, 'Oh my God. They were great.'' When she was 19 years old, Tori had her boobs done in a strip mall. But memories of her old implants aren't all bad. In fact, she gifted them to her now-ex-husband, Dean McDermott, as an anniversary present one year. The two split in 2023 after 18 years of marriage. 'I made bookends out of them," Tori added. "You know I like to DIY. He said, 'Do you want these back?' And I said, 'I am offended.' And he's like, 'No. I didn't mean it like that. You know I've always loved them.'" 'He was like, 'You know, you could probably sell these on eBay.' I'm like, 'I would never.' And I was like, 'Wait. How much? How much do you think I can get for them? I'm just curious. Asking for a friend.'" Despite the criticism, I love that Tori still feels safe to speak openly about her implants and even poke some fun at herself every now and then.

Tori Spelling reveals Dean McDermott once called her Donna Martin
Dean McDermott once called out the name of Tori Spelling's Beverly Hills, 90210 character during an intimate moment. The 52-year-old actress played Donna Martin on the hit TV show between 1990 and 2000, and Tori has revealed that her ex-husband was a fan of her on-screen character. Asked if she's ever role-played as Donna during an intimate scenario, Tori said on the MisSpelling podcast: "I haven't been with that many people, and I've been in mostly long-term relationships. No. But I ... that would creep me out. I don't know. "If I was intimate with a man and he was like, 'Will you role play? Will you act like Donna Martin?' That would really creep me out." Despite this, Tori subsequently noted that Dean had a "big crush" on her from her time on Beverly Hills, 90210. She explained: "Dean, my ex, when we met, he was telling me that he had a big crush on me and that and he would always have his hockey game with all his buddies on Wednesday night, and he would always get out of there early. "They'd be in the locker room, 'You gotta go home and see your girlfriend.' And he was like, 'Yeah. No shame. I'm going home. I'm a guy. I'm watching 90210. I have a crush on Tori Spelling.'" The actress then recalled one particularly awkward moment with her ex-husband. Tori - who was married to Dean between 2006 and 2024 - shared: "I always thought I was like, 'Are you just making that up to get with me?' But, no. At some point during one of our sessions, during sex, [he] said, 'Oh, my little Donna Martin.' "I might have giggled back like Donna." Meanwhile, Tori previously claimed that she wishes her sex tape had leaked. The TV star and her ex-husband once filmed themselves during an intimate moment and the footage almost went public. She said on her MisSpelling podcast: "[He] had it on our computer at home, and a friend he thought was a friend stayed at our house while we took the kids to Hawaii. Anyway, [the friend] took the computer and tried to sell [the tape] to Vivid Video. "They actually contacted us and said, 'We want to let you know we didn't accept it'. I said, 'Why? Were my angles not good?' "So we had to get a restraining order on this guy."
