what the... back to school?

if we're all going back to school, we better do it in style. here are some basic hittin-the-books necessities and ideas that will keep this school year [hopefully] successful and organized.

first off, for you:

1. maybelline volum' express the colossal. this mascara is my favorite mascara of all time.  it volumizes and lengthens without making your eyelashes feel heavy or sticky. it gives a glossy, put together look to any outfit.

2. extra gum. trust me, i'm a gum connoisseur, and extra gum is by far the best choice.  it truly is the best of both worlds by being extremely long lasting and delivering intense flavor throughout. school is somewhere where you need that extra excitement and entertainment. extra gum is a must-have for the back-to-school season.

3. proactiv solution oil free moisture. who wants to go to school with a dry, flaky face? this featherweight moisturizer sufficiently hydrates your skin without clogging your pores and making your face look greasy.  it has spf 15 for extra protection. anybody can fit it in to their daily facial routine.

4. burt's bees beeswax lip balm. when i am in a stressful environment like school, i tend to pick at my lips. the last thing i want is peeling lips.  this lip balm calms your lips down with soothing peppermint while it moisturizes with natural beeswax. this balm is a necessary addition to your backpack pocket.

next, for your backpack:

1. planner. planners are so important for school. it puts everything you need to remember to do in one organized location. remember every test, assignment, and project for your best academic results.

2. uniball pen. no other pen compares.  this pen creates smooth, even lines every time. your notes will be consistent and decipherable with this pen.

3. composition notebooks. my biggest problem with school is keeping notes organized.  i take good, detailed notes, but they always end up lost. one composition notebook for each class will keep all your notes organized and in chronological order.  plus, you can decorate them for extra spice.

4. the pink pearl. you never run out of pencil, but you always run out of eraser.  the pink pearl takes care of that problem, plus it erases better than most pencil-top erasers. 

now that we have all that under control, happy back-to-school season! let's make this our best year yet!
