School bag essentials 🛍️!

As this academic year draws to a close, we are all looking forward to the summer holidays! But before we even realise, school begins again. Whether you are getting organised for the new school year, or just wanting to make these last weeks a bit less painful, here are the school essentials you need to get you through the day!

• Ever snapped your nail in class and have no idea what to do? Pop a nail file into your bag and you will never have to try and rip your nail of again! Plus, you will be a lifesaver to all your friends, and they take up hardly any space!

• This next one may sound obvious, but you will be surprised how effective it is! I'm sure we all remember those 'Smiggle' pencil cases, which had a million compartments in! But if you are looking for a more fashionable and mature alternative, try organising your stationary with hair ties or elastic bands. You will never have to rummage through your pencil case again!

• Stabilo Boss highlighters are a must have in anyone's school bag! Now, I must admit, I am a type of person who loves to highlight everything, and these highlighters have lasted me nearly 3 years! They aren't the cheapest highlighters on the market, but definitely worth the extra few pounds. I recommend going for the pastel ones personally!

• Summer's nearing and a body spray is a must have for anyone. Whether you have just had P.E., or needing a mid-day spruce, perfume is a complete essential.

• One of the worst things about the school day is sitting in class having dry, painful, sore lips. Add lip balm, I recommend Carmex, into your bag, so you are always prepared!

• Ever had a tuna panini for lunch, or just really needed to freshen up? Don't be the friend who always asks for everyone else's chewing gum, bring in your own and share it with everyone else!

• Ever been in P.E. and your teacher has told you to tie up your hair? This one is quite self explanatory, pop a hairbrush in your bag! You could even tie a hair band on the end too, just for emergency's!
