i am kinda excited but very scared because i still have alot of stuff to do before school starts
so naturally i still have stuff to-do, of course
so today i wanted to share what my to-do list still consists of at the moment:

  • label all of my school supplies
  • make my binder covers
    • you can download ones that i made here blue / pink / purple
    • follow the link onto the website : canva where you can edit and change to which class or block you want for your own binders!
  • put together your uniform / outfits for school days
  • put together my backpack
    • organize my essentials kit (advil, eye drops, mints/gum, hair ties/hair pins and lotion, etc.)
  • put together my locker
    • grab my carpet, locker shelf and mini white board
  • take a trip to costco
    •  buy easy snack options and last minute paper needs
  • make copies of my schedule for around the house and different school supplies
    •  i like to print out my schedule and hang it in different locations around my house to help to memorize my schedule
  • organize my desk area
  • organize my white / cork boards
    •  throw away unnecessary papers, etc

i have to admit, this is kinda all i have to do except for homework!
so tell me what you still are having to do before school!

here are my essentials, ill go one by one
DSC_3058
so first, here is my backpack:
L.L.Bean Deluxe Book Pack -$29 (on sale right now!) : I have had this backpack for many years now, I usually switch up my colors so this year i picked the color dahlia purple this year. I also had it monogrammed in the style “initial flared” a new style for me this year, but i absolutely love it!

here is my water bottle:
32 oz Wide Mouth Hydroflask -$39.95 : okay, so this water bottle is a little expensive, but it’s a REALLY GREAT WATER BOTTLE. it keeps cold up to 24 hours, and I’ve tested this, i brought it to all day girl scout camp and on an overnight and i didn’t open the bottle till the next morning and there were still large pieces of ice! so basically i just LOVE cold water!


and i have my iphone case and my pencil case!
i have a
iPhone 5 Battery Case , Maxboost Atomic S iPhone Charger For Apple iPhone 5s -$29 : this is a super iPhone charger case! on top of being super cute, it is super functional because it charges so well. so when you forget to charge your phone the night before school you still have access to your phone because of this case!
0.55 liter Really Useful Box – $2.99: this is just supposed to be a storage box, but it works terrifically as a storage box. it holds all of the pens that i need as well as some washi tape and some post-it note flags!
so all, that is pretty much it for my essentials!
i hope that you enjoy, if you have any school essentials please share it with me!
xoxo

Preppy Disneyland Essentials

April 17, 2015

hey guys! I am visiting Disneyland on April 18th! I am so excited! I wanted to share with you guys some of my essentials for visiting Disney! Here are my essentials:

1. A Comfy Outfit and Shoes: As you can see in my photo above, I picked a plain T-shirt and comfy shorts. I love the pattern shorts, and just plain shorts that look like pajamas! This comfortable outfit will keep you nice comfy in the terrible lines in the rides too! This will also keep you cool because its 90 degrees in California right now.

2. Park Ears: Park Ears make you feel more into going on rides and feeling very disney! My hair always needs a headband to wear too, so this is nice because they are very festive.

3. A Big/Backpack/Purse: For me at least, a big purse makes things easier to carry with you. I am bringing my Longchamp bag because it is cuter than a backpack, but it is still a really good size for carrying everything that you need!

4. A Camera Phone/Camera: Well most phones now have cameras anyway, but the IPhone camera is not too good. I am bringing my Canon EOS M Mirrorless Digital Camera because it is pretty small, and it takes really good pictures.

5. Sunglasses: Now as I have said before, it has been 90 degrees in California recently, and its very sunny. To block the sun, because you really need to, you should bring sunglasses! I know this a “No-Duh!” thing to bring, but you’d be surprised how many times I have forgotten my sunglasses.

okay guys! thanks for reading this article. comment if you have any essentials that you would like to suggest. a little addition, I will be posting my disneyland photos on the 21st, and a different article scheduled to post on the 19th because I will be busy finishing up weekend stuff!

! xoxo (aka kate winss!)
