Back to school: School hacks

Going back to school is usually one of the most stressful times of the year, at least for me it is.
Over the years I have come up with some "hacks" to help the first few weeks and the rest of the year go a little more smoothly. These are some of the hacks that defiantly have helped me throughout the years.

1. Make your schedule as your screen savor - This little tip will be a life savor the first couple of days of school. This way you won't have to dig through your back pack to find a crumbled piece of paper to find out where to go. There are apps such as "pocket schedule-class schedule" or you could write out your schedule and take a picture like the way I did.


2. Color code your supplies - Color coding your supplies was mandatory where I went to high school, and when I got on my own in college I can see why it was mandatory. Having a pink folder and a pink notebook for the same class, makes things easier to pull out of your bag when class is starting.

3. Morning shortcuts - Eating a quick and easy breakfast throughout the day will make you feel more energized and more willing to learn throughout the day. Some of the things I eat in the mornings to keep me going are strawberries, mango, fried eggs, yogurt , and apple slices with peanut butter.

I hope this hacks help you have a great school year!

Back to school: whats in my back pack?



                                                                                                     

I'm usually the person that has everything anyone needs in my bag. I've learned that it makes the day much easier when you go to school prepared. The most important things in my bag would have to be my Lilly Pulitzer planner and a snack like a cliff bar. I get so hungry through out the day and these bars really help that.

What's in your school bag?

My Lilly Pulitzer after party sale picks!

 


It's the best time of the year, when Lilly Pulitzer has a huge sale with amazing deals for 2 days only!
Monday morning I was up at 7am (nothing but Lilly can get me up before 9am on a summer morning) to get my spot in the virtual line. When the virtual doors opened at 8am there were about 58,000 people in front of me. Finally after an hour and a half of waiting I was IN! I went crazy I picked out my items and looked through the 55 pages of Lilly more than 100 times. My mom who was sitting next to me said I was being a little ridiculous..... It's Lilly mom it is far from ridiculous.


Let me just say that when I saw this Annabelle shift dress on sale I knew right away that I had to get it. On Saturday I went in to my local Lilly store and one of the girls who worked there had this dress on and I just thought it was the cutest, and I was looking for it in the store but it was out of my price range that day. So you can't even imagine my excitement when I saw it on sale for only 89$. 


This Britton short sleeve Henley dress in the print resort white hot wings is so cute and comfy it caught my eye and for only 44$ made it even better. This dress is also available in the print shorely big blue flirt.

Another successful Lilly sale, what were your favorite items from the sale?

Saratoga Horse Track

Saratoga race track is some place I go every year and living so close to it makes that easier. I usually don't bet much, this time I only bet 2$ and won nothing. But it is always more about the experience for me. 
There are always people I know there which makes it fun to catch up with old friends from high school. This time I went with a group of my friends and we had a really fun day having lunch and watching the races. 














Outfit: Dress / this print is no longer sold online but I found it on amazon!

Beekman boys Farm

Josh Kilmer- Purcell and his husband Brent Ridge used to have a reality TV show on the food network channel about cooking and running a farm. Now that the show is off the air, both Josh and Brent live on and run their own farm in Sharon Springs NY. They also have a gift shop about 5 miles away from their farm where they sell their line of cooking appliances, jams, jellies, goat milk soap, lotions, and bath salts. This past week myself and some family visited their cute store and went for lunch at a cafe that sells some of their products. I love exploring new places in upstate NY. 




You got to sample all the jelly, fudge sauce and peanut butter.




I loved this tray of beauty products, everything smelt so good I wanted it all!

This is the Beekman farm which wasn't open for tours, so I defiantly want to go 
back and tour the farm! They have a lama and her name is pokaspot! so cute!
