As Rachael preps items from the set for the big move to the brand new studio on Monday, Sabrina Soto drops by with packing tips that you can use, too!

• Sabrina's must-have list of supplies includes boxes, furniture blankets, packing peanuts, tape, box cutters or scissors ... a bottle of wine. "You'll need it!" she laughs.

• Make sure you pack and mark an "Open First" box that you open first at the new location and includes items you'll need right away: Hammer, hanging hardware, scissors, etc. The "Open Last" box contains things you'll need at the end of a night of unpacking: Pajamas, toilet paper, snacks and a toothbrush.

• Label all your boxes on blue painters tape so you can remove it and sell the used boxes later. And be specific: write "plates" or "dishes" instead of a generic "kitchen."

• Wrap and tape your breakable items only once around; if you over tape it will become damaged once you start unpacking. Plus, you want about two inches of bubble wrap or packing peanuts between items.

• Sabrina recommends using peanuts made of a vegetable derivative, which is environmentally friendly and dissolves in water.

• Do not overload boxes — nothing over 50 pounds.

• For larger items that you can't disassemble, wrap them in a furniture blanket and then a layer of moving plastic wrap for the best protection.
