[Summer break 20.8]
I finished reading Radio Silence last night (I cried), and today I finished The Bright Sessions (I cried even more), and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (I didn’t cry… but I’m glad I finally finished it. No more seasons for me). I found some new podcasts to listen to (EOS 10, and The Black Tapes), so I’ll give them a go. This weekend, amongst other things, I kept on planning this story stuck in my head. I also started taking few notes about this other one that keeps popping in. Let’s see where that gets me.

I’m starting two 30 day challenges as of tomorrow: the back to school one, and the decluttering one.
Listening to: Radio One at V festival - Friday night’s programme

My 5 Holy Grail Beauty Products
I am very picky when it comes to the things that I choose to put on my face. Nevertheless, I love trying new makeup products and I basically live at Sephora.
Over the years there have been products that I keep coming back to, despite me trying something new or something popularized. These are my tried and true, my favorite, ride or die HOLY GRAIL beauty products.
1. Maybelline Lash Blast Volume Mascara
There has never been a better mascara. Ever. I’ve tried countless high end mascaras, but this one is the absolute best. My lashes are pitch straight and have absolutely no curl. This mascara - along with the next products - keep my lashes looking BOMB AF. If you love lashes that are long and voluminous, (who doesn’t) this is what you need.
2. Tweezerman Eyelash Curler
This product is definitely pricey ($30), but compared to the typical $10 eyelash curlers I used to buy from the drugstore, this one lasted me TWO YEARS. It also comes with 3 replaceable eyelash curler pads - which is why it lasted me so long. I have very stubborn lashes that point downwards, but this one really lifts my lashes and it with the maybelline mascara, my lashes SLAY all day. It also gives me the absolute best curl without bending my lashes 90 degrees... If you’re tired of having a shitty eyelash curler that you constantly need to replace, try this one!
3. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer in “Taupe”
This eyebrow pencil is truly amazing. Although I like the Benefit Brow Wiz, Anastasia’s line of Brow Products is amazing. There are so many shades to match your true eyebrow color, and these last ALL DAY without melting, smudging or wiping away. This eyebrow pencil is even better because it has this slanted tip that makes it SO EASY to line your eyebrows.
4. Sephora Collection Beauty Amplifier Afterglow Primer & Luminizer
This product is so undervalued! It lasts me forever and you need only the smallest amount to cover your entire face. I see a huge different with how long my makeup lasts with this product and it makes my face more dewy and natural looking after I put on BB Cream, Concealer or Foundation. It’s really amazing if you want that healthy glowing look and to help your face makeup stay on.
5.Tarte Shape Tape Concealer
Do I really need to explain this one? The Tarte Shape Tape concealer is one of the best concealers out there at the moment (if not, THE best). My favourite thing about this concealer is that it is HIGH COVERAGE. The only reason I even buy a concealer is to cover any blemishes or discoloration and oftentimes a lot of concealers are too sheer or oily. This one blends into my skin perfectly, can be sheered out and is lightweight AF.

University Commuting Essentials
Winter is coming. That’s right, Back to School season is one month away...
So being the girl I am, (the living, breathing human definition of ’extra), I am regularly watching Back to School Hauls, trying to find an expensive planner that I’ll never use and buying a whole new set of school supplies despite the fact that I probably won’t use half of them!
And if you’re anything like me, you’re probably trying to figure out what you need vs. what you really don’t. Well have I got a lifesaving tool for you!
I have compiled a master list of everything and anything you may need in your school bag!...and I mean EVERYTHING. I jot down everything: school supplies, beauty essentials, first aid, clothing, accessories, electronics...etc. Whether you travel heavy or light, this list really helped me consider what I needed to keep in my bag throughout my day.
This list is LONG, and you obviously don’t need to put everything it includes in your school bag. Take what you want from it. If you find a lot of these things necessary to have with you, consider getting a locker to keep them in, rather than having to lug them around.
And now without further ado...
University School Essentials or Completely Unnecessary Shit to Lug Around:
Bags
o Large Tote or Backpack: Depending on your preference.
This year I’ve opted for a large tote. This one by Lululemon is so spacious and durable AF. It has interior pockets, a removable pouch (where I hold my makeup) and a shoe bag. It was more on the pricier side, but Lululemon has great quality stuff and this bag will last me years. If I’m not in the mood to carry around a purse, I’ll always switch it out for my tried and true JanSport backpack.
https://shop.lululemon.com/p/bags/All-Day-Tote/_/prod8260423?rcnt=14&N=8bd&cnt=19&color=LW9MJ7S_028694
o Lunch Bag: Unless you’re buying lunch everyday.
o Makeup Bag: I never have time to fix my face in the morning because I like to get my beauty sleep until the last second so I just take a pouch with me and do it in the car or on the subway.
o Hygiene Bag: Because having tampons and pads flying out of your bag when you take something out isn’t sexy.
o Pencil Case
o Zip-lock Bag
o Book Bag: I like to keep my books separate from my bag, especially the first week of school when I’m buying a bunch of textbooks. Things get heavy or there’s no room in your bag, so it’s good to have a book bag with you in your bag just in case.
o Wallet
o Shoe Bag
School Supplies
o Folder: I prefer carrying a folder around with me to keep handouts or loose paper, rather than a binder but if that’s not your style then...
o Binder
o Lined Paper (hole punched and not hole punched)
o Graphing Paper
o Notebook
o Red Pen
o Blue Pen
o Black Pen
o Led Pencil (2)
o Led
o Wooden Pencil
o Eraser
o Sharpener
o Scissors
o Glue
o Tape
o White out
o Highlighter (3 different colors)
o Staple Remover
o Mini Stapler
o Hole Punch
o Sticky Notes – 2 sizes
o Post it flags
o Paper clips
o Cue cards
o Calculator
o Sharpie – 2 sizes
o Ruler
o Agenda
o Calendar
o Textbooks
o Bookmark
o Lock for Locker
o Water Bottle or Thermos: I prefer Swell water bottles because they keep the temperature of whatever I’m drinking the same for over 7 hours.
o Notebook (Journal)
o A good book
Electronics
o Phone
o Phone case: My dad knows that I lose my presto card constantly, so he bought me this phone case where you can hold up to two cards in the back. I’m always holding my phone anyways, so this helps me make sure I never lose my transport pass.
o iPhone charger or portable battery
o Computer
o Computer Sleeve
o Hard-shell case
o Computer Charger
o iPod or Mp3 device: If for some reason you can’t keep music on your phone.
o Fitbit: I use my fitbit as a watch and it’s connected to my phone so when I get a text, the fitbit will vibrate and show me my text on the screen. It’s also great for tracking your steps, how many calories you burn, and the fitbit app can also help you track your water intake (which is super important).
o Earphones/Headphones
o USB: In case something goes wrong with your computer, you will always have your documents saved on the USB
o Camera
Clothing and Accessories
o Bus tickets/Bus Pass
o Umbrella: one of those small foldable ones that are easy to carry around
o Hairbrush
o Hairpins
o Hair Tie
o Blanket scarf: As the name suggests, you can use it as a blanket when it gets cold during lectures or just a regular scarf.
o Rain jacket
o Rain Boots
o Winter Jacket
o Gloves
o Sunglasses
o Extra clothes (leggings, a t-shirt, underwear, socks...etc.)
o Winter hat
o Running shoes
o Fast Flats: These are genius. They take up very little room and they’re very light. If you get a blister or want to change shoes, these flats are perfect.
o House Keys
o Lighter
o Tea Bags: because sometimes the tea options at random school cafeterias suck.
Hygiene Products
o Deodorant
o Facial wipes
o Sanitary Wipes
o Disinfectant Wipes
o Tampons
o Pads
o Panty liners
o Body Spray
o Roll-on perfume
o Lip balm
o Tissues
o Mini Vaseline
o Nail File
o Hand Sanitizer
o Hand Lotion
o Gum
o Mints
o Tide to Go
o Floss
First Aid
o Band-aids
o Disinfectant wipes
o Polysporin
o Tylenol/Advil
o Melatonin
o Vapo Inhaler
o Halls
o Vitamin C packet
Beauty
o Compact Mirror
o Foundation
o Powder
o Powder Brush
o Beauty Blender
o Concealer
o Concealer Brush
o Primer
o Setting Spray
o Highlighter
o Bronzer
o Tweezers
o Wax Strips (2)
o Highlighter/Blush Brush
o Blush
o Mascara
o Eyelash curler
o Eyeliner
o Eyebrow Gel
o Eyebrow Pencil
o Lipstick
And that’s it! Anyways, I hoped this helped you plan and prepare for school. Just remember that you probably don’t need most of these things and you may possibly end up with just a pen and a piece of paper by the middle of the year.
