Increasingly often, malls are welcoming spas and massage centers into their halls. Take advantage of this and get a full-body massage or facial treatment after a day of browsing through shops. Make sure you mention any medical conditions or injuries you have before booking a spa appointment. Broken skin, for instance, might disqualify you from getting a facial. If you like makeup, you can visit a makeup counter and get a free makeover, and ask for tips for your skin type. Many skincare counters are happy to provide these services in the hopes of selling new products, so don’t be afraid to ask for a sample of a product you might be on the fence about. This is a great option if you are looking for a makeup product to do a specific job, such as reduce under eye circles or make your lips pop. Visit your mall’s candy, chocolate, or pastry shop and indulge on a few treats. You can purchase a chocolate croissant and enjoy it right there, or you can stock up on some sweet treats to take home and eat throughout the next few weeks. Use this opportunity to try something new. You can ask to see any new candy or specials, or you can ask the clerks what their favorites are. Bring along your favorite book (or a new tome from the bookstore), and sit down to a cafeteria lunch. You can eat while you read, absorbing the sounds and smells around you while you immerse yourself in a new world. Many malls have coffee shops in them, as well, so you may even be able to cozy up in an armchair and sip a latté as you read. You can visit a department store and request to have your measurements taken. You can then use this information if ever you need to take an item to a tailor, order an item online, or complete alterations yourself. Although you can do your own measurements, doing so can be tricky, so why not enlist the help of a professional? Sizing is particularly important for bras, so if you wear a bra, use your time alone to find out what size you should actually be wearing. Malls are often used as testing grounds for new therapy machines. Hydrotherapy, therapy chairs, and therapy machines have all been known to adorn the large hallways of malls, so take a few moments to find out if you can test out a new relaxation/therapeutic technique. Some of these can be dangerous for existing medical conditions or pregnancy. Make sure you talk to the vendor or operator about any possible risk factors before you partake.

Since availability changes so rapidly, you'll want to have a concrete date in mind for when you intend to move. Planning ahead will give you ample time to start looking seriously. Keep in mind that more units tend to open up at the beginning and end of each month as tenants move out.  Give yourself at least four or six weeks to view multiple listings and get your finances in order. It never hurts to have a backup plan in case you're unable to find a place to live by your projected timeframe. Sit down and calculate how much you'd be willing and able to spend for your new lodgings. With an estimated budget in place, you'll be able to narrow down your options to include only the listings that you can realistically afford. For the sake of financial security, try not to spend more than about 30 percent of your total income on rent.  Don't forget to factor in other expenses that you'll be shelling out for, like utilities, food, transportation and other basic necessities. Most landlords will only accept renters who make more than 40 times the cost of rent annually. Before you're handed the keys, you'll be asked to supply a valid photo ID, recent bank statements, and a check for at least the first month's rent, along with a security deposit. Get these items together at a moment's notice in order to beat out the competition. Don't wait until you've agreed on an offer to start printing off copies.  In addition to the usual documents, you might be asked to provide things like recent pay stubs, tax returns, your criminal record or even a letter of referral from an employer or previous landlord.  One smart strategy is to scan the paperwork you need and email it to yourself. When the time comes, all you'll have to do is forward the attachments to the leasing agent. Be ready to make a move as soon as you decide that a place meets your criteria. When it comes to locking down a good living space in New York, time is not on your side—too often renters will sleep on their decision, only to find that someone else has come along and signed a lease in a matter of hours. If possible, set up a walkthrough or interview for the same day. This will show that you're serious about the property and minimize the chances of someone else snatching it out from under you.
