Back to School Essentials

It’s almost time to head back to school and I’m slightly jealous I no longer have an excuse to stock up on cute school supplies for the year, like this adorable Sakroots flap backpack.  I still find ways to put all the essentials to use, wether it be in my home office or for work related tasks, since my school supplies addiction will never fade. Here are a few essentials that will make everything easier and more fun, regardless if you’re heading back to school or to the office.

MacBook – This is a splurge item, but worth every penny.  I’ve had mine for 6 years and counting now and it still works.  Best investment ever considering all other laptops I’ve owned only had about a two year lifespan.

Sakroots Flap Backpack – a fun artwork on a bag option to carry all your essentials and keep your hands free. Aside from being cute, the best thing of all is with the purchase of this bag, you are paying it forward by supporting like-minded artists and charities of your choice with the Sakroots Choose Your Karma.  You can also get 15% off your purchase!

Hair Ties – a must for a hot day and long walk across campus from one building to another.

Monogram Bottle – you’re going to want to carry a refillable bottle around and you’ll be glad you did when it’s 100+ degrees out and you have a a long walk to class.  You may also want to carry a boost of caffeine for an afternoon pick me up to get through those late, long classes.

Kate Spade Pens – for all the note taking that deserve to be done in style.

Nike Free Running Shoes – your feet will thank you after all the walking they encounter.  I’m also a firm believer in doing anything for extra motivation.  Wearing gym clothes to class will give you less of an excuse to skip the gym later!

Sakroots Agenda – it’s impossible to get through a semester without a planner, much less a day!  You’ll want to write everything down because you’ll be surprised how quickly you can forget or have too much pile up on your plate at once.  These planners, along with the printed bag, also let you pay it forward!
