On Monday I go back to the grind, although I know many students already have. Here are a few things I'll be glad to have with me.
1. A water bottle will be great to help keep me hydrated while I'm at school for a long day and help eliminate the need to buy large quantities of disposable water bottles (and cuts down on waste, too). This particular one is double walled, which means no "sweating" and getting all of your papers wet, which makes my inner perfectionist cringe,
2. Lord knows how cold those lecture halls get, so a hoodie will help keep me comfortable so I can stay focused. I found this on the clearance rack at Target for about $6, and I thought it was lightweight enough to wear for brief periods in the Florida heat and also easy to carry around.
3. It's amazing how one simple accessory can pull together a whole look. This necklace adds an edgy touch to pretty much any outfit, and it's easy to just grab and throw on when I'm in a rush. Which I'm sure will be often.
4. One of the keys to having healthy skin is moisturizing, and another is to use a sunscreen to protect from harmful UV rays. Even when it's cloudy or cold, the sun can still seep through and damage your skin. I love this product from Neutrogena because it's formula is great for putting on under my make-up, and it delivers both moisture and protection for my face.
5. Walking around campus all day can make your feet ache, so I think these sneakers are the perfect back to school accessory because they're comfy, cute, and just a little bad ass. Seriously, don't be one of "those girls" who strut around in heels at school. Your feet will thank you.
Good luck with the new school year everyone!
Sincerely, Lex.
