Tips For Going Back To School


It's hard to believe that I will be returning to school in less than a week, and even harder to believe that this will be my senior year! Being that this is my fourth year of back to school preparation, I like to think that I know what I am doing. The following are a few tips to get you prepared for going back to school.

1. Get A Planner
One of the best ways to get organized and stay organized is to get a planner and stick with it. Keeping assignments as well as meetings and events organized in your planner will help you to remember the important things. It's nice to have everything compiled into one place for reference as well. 

2. Organize Your Book Bag
Chances are you have not even opened your book bag since you left school. I recommend you go through it, clean it out, and go ahead and put your important school supplies into it. This way when it's time to start back at school you will know where everything is. 

3. Organize Your School Supplies
Once you have gone though your book bag, and searched your room, you will know what supplies you have and what you need. At this point you can then go out and buy anything you need for the school year. (I will be doing an Essentials School Supplies post soon;)

4. Clean Out Your Closet
This is the best time to purge any unworn or unwanted clothes in your closet. Chances are there are clothes in there you do not want to wear anymore. You can sell or even give away any unwanted clothes, and possibly make room for a few new items to start off the school year with.

I hope that these tips will help you be prepared to go back to school and most importantly be organized going into the school year. Being organized from the beginning will help to simplify things and hopefully reduce stress.

Cozy Spirit Jerseys

As the season are changing over from summer to fall the weather is getting cooler. Even though it's not cold yet, it its much cooler in the morning and evenings than during the afternoons. This is a fun time to mix long sleeves with shorts as well as short sleeves with long pants or jeans. One of these combinations that I love includes a spirit jersey with shorts. It allows me to wear my favorite Lilly Pulitzer shorts  past the summertime.  The spirit jersey is always a cozy option because they are thicker than a t-shirt but not as thick as a sweatshirt. They are typically worn oversized so this allows for them to be extra comfortable. So even when I wear shorts, I am still able to stay warm enough throughout the day.

Some of my favorite feel good movies are The Blonde Side, She's the Man, Grease, and Breakfast at Tiffany's Take A Nap No matter how old you are, taking a nap in the middle of the day is always welcome, that is if your schedule allows it of course. It allows for a quick reset in the middle of the day so you can wake up like it's a new day. Workout Working up a sweat with my head

September Bucket List

Now usually people talk about having Summer bucket lists or Fall bucket lists, but this is my September bucket list. This is different because its technically still Summer until September 23rd, however September is a month of transition into fall activities with the continued warmth of summer. I'm not quite ready for the cool of fall to begin, however I am looking forward to the fun happenings the fall has to offer.

My idea of a journal is continuing with my blogging that I love so much. Shopping for fall accessories is easily one of my favorite tasks. I don't generally love fall colors, but I do like to incorporate a few of my summer colors with almond tone clothing during the month of September. Trying a new cocktail is always great fun that it should truly be on every monthly bucket list. Stocking up on
