' Back To School ' Essentials

It's Back To School season - and whether or not you are actually returning yourself, the feeling is undoubtedly in the air! I myself will not be returning to school as a student this year, that chapter of my life is over but it sure was a wonderful one - if any of my College, High school, or Elementary School classmates are reading this - I miss you, & i must admit i miss it a tiny bit too WOW that's something I never thought I'd say! Today On the Blog I am sharing a List of what I consider to be 'Back To School' OR Work Essentials & things I was sure to have for Cody who will be heading back to the books! Good Luck & have fun tomorrow on your first day back! I know you'll be reading this because you read & spell check every one - Thanks Again for that, & all you do. Okay enough sappy stuff, let's get back to Back To School & how it is the perfect time to get new stationary Back On Track!
A Cute Book Bag . Even in High school & College [when I was actually attending school] I was never a big Book Bag 'wearer', So it's kind of ironic that I'd start at this point in life; But I've read a lot about how purses  [particularly those of the extremely heavy variety... like mine] are actually bad for your back & posture, (& I do notice it bothering my shoulders after a long day) So I will be attempting to transition to the Back Pack life! I got this bag is from boathouse a few years back.                                                                          
Fruity Socks . from Ardene, because nothing says "Back To School" like fresh socks & undies undies not pictured. 
  
Greens Balance . It can be a challenge to get a good breakfast in when rushing around early in the morning, especially a balanced one with a full serving of fruits and veggies - this keeps it simple by just adding to your water!

Kate Spade Day Planner - a.k.a "My golden polka-doted brain"  [ This is quite possibly the most practical purchase I've ever made & I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone who has a love of lists / stationary. It has 15 months (Aug15-Dec16), an adress book, as well as a section to write notes! ] The Watermelon Pencil Case is from H&M [which I couldn't find on their website but can be found in store].

Pens, Pencils, etc . My Bamboo pen - found HERE.

Sleep Well Spray - Summer is all about long nights & sleeping in; But soon a good nights sleep will make all the difference with early mornings & long lessons. The transition can be difficult for so many and this spray helps you rest easier with less disruptions!    
Energy Fizz Tabs Citrus (also available in Pomegranate) I've talked about these on the blog before, but they are seriously little tabs of liquid energy heaven & without the jitters or crash of coffee and energy drinks! A Tutorial for The DIY Tumbler pictured can be found HERE.    
                                      
Colourstay Gel Envy (just for fun) - because for me, little things like a fresh mani helps to bring a fresh mindset! 
I also just have to chat about this stuff, [it's By Revlon] & I have tried a few others before it, and honestly wasn't overly impressed with the idea of a Gel Manicure until My Mom convinced me to try this one! I truthfully can't be bothered with the process of sitting under that darn UV light, which this doesn't require! You literally just apply the Base + Colour coat & finish with the Gel Topcoat (no differently than you would your regular polish - the dry time is about the same as well) & you're Done!
I never thought I'd say it but I think I have finally been convinced & will be switching to Gel nails from now on!           
 Lip Conditioner ( a necessity) -You're going to need something to keep your lips moisturized despite those dry, stale-aired halls, classrooms and lecture halls!

If you are heading back to school, or maybe you are moving away for the first time to College / University, heading back after a summer at home, or embarking on a new adventure of any kind this fall; I wish you luck & love in whatever you do, & that amazing memories will be made! Remember that you can achieve anything your mind can believe! & of course never forget to ALWAYS...
Dream Big Sparkle More Shine Bright
