Here is my opinion on what should be in your pencil pouch so you will be prepared for school and won't be the one snooping for supplies from your peers!

1. Pencils: The obvious essential for school! Either mechanical or wooden barrel works. Just remember if you have mechanical pencils to keep lead in your pouch so you won't be asking for lead (I remember doing that...I kinda annoyed people with that)! For wooden barrel I would keep a small pencil sharpener in your pouch so you won't have to get up in the middle of class and squeak sharpen. Plus school sharpeners don't sharpen pencils, they eat them. 

2. Pens: Another obvious essential. Blue and black ink is basically a necessity for school. I like getting cute, fun pens because they make me happy to use them and keep my motivated (lame I know).

3. No. 2 Pencils: Taking a test on a scan tron? ACT? Did you forget that you had a test and now scrambling for a No. 2 pencil? Yep I know that feeling. So keeping at least one or two No. 2 pencils will ensure minimal stress when test day comes around. Also, I know that some "No. 2 pencils" do not work on scan trons so keeping the original (Ticonderoga) would be good.

4. Sticky notes/Tabs: Perfect for quick notes, marking important pages and etc. Plus cute ones make it fun to study or remember.

5. White out: For those days when we make mistakes. I know I make a ton of them because I use pens a lot and yep white out is my savior. Liquid or tape is fine. I prefer tape because I don't have to wait for the liquid to dry.

6. Highlighters: I live for highlighters! They help me keep organize in my notes, planner and calendar! They are great study tools and getting many colors can keep you organized!

7. Paper clips: I think these are perfect for organization too with homework and notes! Keep these in handy when you might need a little organization during class! For maximum organization, colored ones are perfect!

8. Colored pens: Okay these are as important for your pencil pouch, but for me they are. I just love colors so these help me study and keep me motivated. They also help me stay organized because I can just assign a color to a certain subject or topic.

September Favorites

So September is coming to the end and that means it is time to do my September Favorites. And I just realized after making this, I used Halloween colors...well it can previewing for October favorites...

1) Starbuck's Pumpkin Spiced Latte :  I'm not a huge fan of spiced drinks after drinking a grande chai tea latte because I don't it would taste like milk tea, but ended up being a cinnamon and nutmeg overload. My best friend D convinced me to try it on our shopping trip few weeks ago and I was at first scared I wouldn't like it because of the "spice" part and plus I never had pumpkin before. But I heard a bunch people rave about it and now I am one of those people. It is sweet, warm with a hint of pumpkin and it is the perfect fall drink....YUM!

2) Revlon's Colorstay Cream Eyeliner : My mom recommended this product to me in 10th grade and at first using it, I hated it because it didn't stay on my bottom lashes and kept on running down making me look like a raccoon ...terrible, but I tried it again because I used Essence Gel Eyeliner before and it hadn't really worked out because it still made me look like a a raccoon. So I tried it out again and now I am in love. All I have to do to ensure that the eyeliner won't smudge a much is apply neutral to light eyeshadow under eyeliner and below the eyeliner. I still use the gel eyeliner for my upper lids, but this cream eyeshadow gives me a more natural, soft look.

3) Pink Chandelier's It's a Breeze Collection Product : Oh - my - gawd...this collection is the most amazing collection that I love oh so much/ First the prints are so adorable and remind me of Vera Bradley a bit. Second, the paper feels so nice with it being an offwhite and feeling of a different material. The covers...sturdy and looks recycled. I have no words to describe the collection, but inexpensive and amazing.

4) Old Navy's Cheetah Flats : Not specifically meaning my Old Navy cheetah flats, but any cheetah print flats are just for me the shoes that help bring out any outfit instantly making them chic. They add that pop to any outfit from comfy cozy to sophisticated and I think beside black and nude shoes, cheetah prints are a must have!

5) EMOJII (: I love emojii while texting or adding some fun to my iCal, but the reason these are my favorite is because of the new ones from updating my iPhone to the iOS 6! OMG they have new cute ones like an eggplant, pigs, poodles, food, smileys! AHHH in love!

6) Marvel's Avenger Movie : OMG I love this mash up movie even though I didn't watch any of the individual super hero movies and I have been counting down the day until it comes out on DVD and we bought it immediately and watched it again! AHHH this is one of my all time favorite movies! It is hilarious yet full of action which is my favorite combination! I just love it and can't wait until Avengers 2 maybe I'll go to the midnight premiere :O <----emojii!

7) Grey's Anatomy : NEW FAVORITE SHOW! I just started watching last week and I'm already on season 2! (not that far lol) I love the doctor drama with hints of comedy, and since I want to eventually become a pediatrician it is a good show for me to start watching with all its medical terms and such.

8) Mindy Gledhill : Just absolutely love her songs! They are indie with the cute quirkiness I love. I especially love the songs "Whole Wide World" and "California". Just dying with the about of love to her songs!

What are your September Favorites?
