Back To School!

This is just a back to school post because I go back to school on Monday. And I'm super excited.

This is a little checklist I made to get everything done, in time, what can I say I'm a sucker for a good list. It has everything on there from things as simple as take a shower to forgettable things like get more batteries for my camera. Now, let's hope I don't lose the list!

Lol! This is what my mom brought (and this isn't all of it) tons of paper, pens, pencils etc., we'll go back to the store after I get my supply list from my teachers but this is the basics. As we were getting this I was thinking I don't do that much work. Lol. But I want to do better than 'just passing' unlike last year.

(Before; this was my Grace Mahiry hair style)

(After, it's like a reddish/blonde color; and you guys will see this picture again for my makup post)
Breaking News: I dyed my hair! :) So I can go back to school with a slightly new look. Everyone that's already seen loves it!

We have a dress code and we can wear any color collared shirt. Ralph Lauren Polo is a big and in style where I live but everybody hates U.S.P.A, it's all about brands. I got a great deal on RL Polo shirts. $25.99 each, so about $100.00 for all 4 of these. Usually they are about $50.00 a piece so.... And I already have some. So I'm just adding these to my collection, I guess.

We can also wear blue, khaki, brown, black, green, or gray pants. But no jean/denim material. Last year, I showed up every day out of dress code. Lol. I always wore jeans, I had alot of clothing that was in dress code but, I chose not to wear them. And I never got in trouble! These black pants (kinda like skinny jeans but they're black) are jeggings but you can't really tell. Got them from JCPenney's when they had their deal, buy 1 get 1 for a $1.00. So the total was like $36.99....not bad at all.

We have a Converse store, where I live and I decided instead of Jordan's/Nike shoes I'll just wear Converse. The are super cute and comfy. So I got the pair above and below from the back section (everything $19.99) honestly I only went back there because their were a crazy amount of people everywhere. And I have a quick temper when there's too many people when I'm trying to shop. And I guess that temper finally paid off, I got a great price! So the shoes would have been about $40.00, but I told my mom I wanted Converse, so she went online earlier that day and got a 30% off coupon. So including tax both pairs of shoes were about 30 something dollars. :) These shoes above are Xtra high tops (not high tops) and you can fold them down or leave them up. How awesome!

These are so cool, they are fully covered in sequins. In case you are wondering, no that's not my flash in the center of the shoes they are really grayish/silvery. And these are regular high tops.

So I'm totally a big kid! This is my backpack I got. It's Princess Tiana (and the other Disney princesses but I really got it for Tiana), and I love the movie so I had to get this, because I am a princess at heart! I get a new backpack every year, but I always end up switching constantly to match my clothes. So probably in about 2 weeks I'll go back to my hobo handbag.



This is a brand called 'Hard Candy' and it's sold at Walmart. I've been wanting this for a while, but it's been completely sold out. So I went and they finally had some. So I got this one. The name of it is 'bad reputation'. It also came with a little sample of liquid eyeliner called 'walk the line'. Sorry I didn't do swatches, but my next post will be a makeup post so you'll actually see it on my eyes. I threw away the receipt, but I believe it was $6.00.

I was really in need of chap stick or something that works like it. And while standing in the checkout line at Target I saw this and got it. It has a save $1.00 coupon, hence the big white rectangle on the package. So I used it, w/o the coupon it was $2.99 and with the coupon it was $1.99. It's a 2 pack, one flavor is pearl and the other is vanilla. They smell great! The vanilla smells just like vanilla, and the pearl smells like berries. And they have sunscreen in them which is great for the summer. The pearl has SPF 15. And the vanilla has SPF 20. I would totally recommend this.


This is the 'ELF Beauty Book' and I only used it once but it's pretty good. But I don't like the fact that it only has a plastic covering on instead of a real palette case! And it smears a little, but I can get over that.

This is an ELF Zip Zapper! I went on their site and it had all good reviews except one. That's not bad at all! I haven't tried it yet, because I don't want to risk it not working, or heavens forbid but maybe my skin gets worse. So for right now I'm using something that I know works, at least til school starts.

One of my things to do on the list from the first picture, was to get my makeup bag/emergency kit together. And I did this earlier today. This little makeup bag has 3 zippered sections and fold together using a peice of velcro! I got this from my mother and I believe she said she ordered it from Avon! This bag contains pretty much what I need for those 'just-in-case' moments. Because I love to be prepared. It has:
-hair ties (I always have multiples in case one breaks, or a friend need them)
-eye makeup remover pads
-eye liner (liquid and regular)
-comb
-3 small makeup palettes
-bobby pins
-Q-tips
-band-aids
-pads and tampons
-Advil (for headaches and period cramps)
-mascara
-chap stick
-conceler
-makeup brush
Unfortuntly that's all I can remember. Did I miss anything for my little makeup kit? Should I add anything else in it.

When do you start school? Are you excited?
