Here's How Lauren Wirkus Is Making Her West Coast Move "Stress Free"

The Summer House twin is headed back to San Diego in time for the birth of her nephew.

After more than eight years living in New York City, Lauren Wirkus is becoming bicoastal — that's right, according to the Summer House alum, she's "going going, back back to Cali Cali." As anyone who's ever moved knows, the process is rife with stress. First you have to buy boxes, then you have to pack (and hopefully discard and donate!), then you have to actually move — and we're not even addressing the logistics of housing. (Leases! Deposits! Insurance!) The Wirkus Circus twin, however, found a solution that has taken some of the anxiety out of it all.

"Shoutout to @flatrate_moving for helping me with my move and making it stress free," she wrote in an Instagram post that's likely a paid partnership. "Moving is the absolute WORST — especially when it’s long distance and I couldn’t have done it without them."

Iâm going going, back to back, to Cali Cali âï¸ after 8+ years of living in NYC I can officially say now Iâm freakinâ BI-COASTAL and basically going to live the dream splitting my time between both San Diego and NYC (with an emphasis on Southern California until it warms up on the east coast) ð¤ â â â â â â â â â When I moved to the city with @ashleynmcatee at 22 years old I never imagined I would call it my sole home for over 8 years. It has been a journey like no other from first jobs to a career, shared apartments with fake walls to my own apartment for 4+ years, friends I met the first nights out at the club who have turned into life-long friends, experiencing cold and snowy winters to the hottest most fun summers in the Hamptons. I will cherish the feeling of full time living in NYC and the energy it gives you but the time has come to change up my pace and scenery and more importantly reunite with @ashleynmcatee and get @wirkustwins on the same coast because letâs be real Iâm sure you all could have guessed I wouldnât be able to live too far away once our baby comes in May!!! â â â â â â â â â Shoutout to @flatrate_moving for helping me with my move and making it stress free- moving is the absolute WORST- especially when itâs long distance and I couldnât have done it without them ð¦ #bicoastal #baby #wirkustwins

Meanwhile, Lauren's twin, Ashley Wirkus, (now known as Ashley McAtee) is getting her home ready for her first bundle of joy, a baby boy due in May.

"Let’s be real," Lauren wrote on Instagram. "I’m sure you all could have guessed I wouldn’t be able to live too far away once our baby comes in May!!!"
