Back to school part 1: Backpack Essentials!!!

It's back to school time!! That might sound depressing to some of us, but we believe it's the best time of the year to finally get organized, since you have the chance to start from scratch. This is the first of our back-to-school post, there will (obviously) be more awesome posts about how to get organized and start the new school year in beauty and style ;-).

• Books, binders & notebooks.

Get these adorable recycled notebooks on Etsty!! : https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/130414192/a5-geometricchevron-print-eco-notebooks?ref=sr_gallery_5&ga_search_query=notebook&ga_ship_to=CA&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery

Now we know what you're thinking: "How dumb do they think we are?", but we just want to mention this as some sort of precaution because a lot of girls (and yes, only girls) just bring a purse to school and carry their stuff in their hands, which we find ridiculous. The whole point of bringing a bag is so you don't have to carry your stuff in your hands, if it doesn't fit, just get a bigger bag!!

• Lip balm

Get this amazingly moisturizing Eos lip balm at your nearest pharmacy. It also smells fantabulous!

You never know when you may have a dry lip emergency. It's always a must in any situation!

• Wallet

So we're not asking you to bring like 500$ to school everyday or anything, just bring some extra money in case you forget your lunch or something. Almost everyday people, wether we know them or not, come up to us asking to borrow money. It's very annoying.

• Bobby pins + Hair ties

It's always important to have these in case of a hair emergency. No more bad hair days!!

• Pencil case
  

Get this incredibly cute pencil case on Etsy! https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/127240031/polka-dot-pencil-case-zipper-cosmeticref=sr_gallery_7&ga_search_query=pencil+case&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_ship_to=CA&ga_ref=auto1&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery

We think its much easier to bring your pencil case home than to just buy more pencils, it's a waste of money. We have a stationary post coming soon for some pencil case fun!! A post about our favourite stationary will be coming up soon!

• Gum/mints

No more bad breath!

• Kleenex

This is very important during cold season. A runny nose is not fun.

• Planner/agenda
  
  This super cute and adorable one is from Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/190733473/20142015-academic-weekly-monthly-planner

If your school doesn't supply one, you should buy one to keep track of all your assignments.

• Mascara + lip gloss

Ok so some of you guys can skip on this one. It's not exactly an essential but if you wake up late or for touch-ups, it can be of big help ;-).

There you have it! Now get ready because first day of school looks are coming soon!
