It’s Back to College Time

August 9, 2016

I cannot believe that summer’s almost gone and that it’s time for back to school shopping.  In my house it’s actually back to college shopping.  All three of my kids are currently college students.  Two are undergrads and one is in grad school.  As you can imagine, my husband and I will be happy when our kids get their degrees and there are no more tuition bills to pay.  I love shopping for back to school supplies and often stock up for the entire year before the academic year even starts.

back to school shopping

 We recently attended college orientation for my son and he was instructed that he needs to have a PC for his business school at the university that he’ll be attending (Go Frogs!).  We went to our local Walmart store to pick up all of his back to college essentials and were happy to see the large assortment of all new Hewlett-Packard PC laptops.  They have a wide variety of affordable options to meet the needs of high school students, college students and families.  We found the perfect PC laptop for my son’s college classes and dorm life (nobody should be studying all the time).

Walmart offers a variety of all new HP laptop computers in their stores and online.

 Let’s take a look at my son’s new laptop first and then we’ll look at my list of additional back to school and college essentials:
  • The HP Pavilion x360 Convertible Notebook – It’s a 360 degree entertainment revolution which means that it has a 360 degree hinge to get you in the perfect position to work, watch, play and go!  It seamlessly shifts between four modes for an entertainment experience that gets you closer to your screen than ever before.  It is thin, light and has a great battery life so you can take this laptop everywhere you go.  The laptop also includes HP Audio Boost and audio tuning by B&O PLAY that delivers rich, authentic sound.
  • We also purchased the HP Deskjet 3632 All-in-One Printer/Copier/Scanner – It’s important for my son to be able to print his papers for class in the convenience of his dorm room.  We stocked up on printer paper as well.
  • It’s important to have a printer cable to attach the PC laptop to your printer if you don’t have a wireless model.
  • Everyone needs highlighters, pencils and notebooks, especially for math courses.
  • You’ll need an advanced graphing type calculator for those math classes as well.
  • The key to college success is being organized and prepared.  A good academic planner is an absolute necessity for all college students (and everyone for that matter).

My son is getting ready for a successful year at college.

I’ve been a mom to college students for five years now and I feel like I’ve got the essentials shopping list perfected for academic success.  Hewlett-Packard PC’s are perfect for all ages and families.  So, whether we’re ready or not, the new school year is about to start.  Be sure to make a stop at Walmart where you can get everything on your back to school list.

 

If you like your HP computers like my family does, I encourage you to visit Walmart to share your thoughts!  You’ll be helping other parents shop smart computer deals this back to school season with your online review.

    I love the back to school section of the store and I agree on the tips, especially the one about the planner! If I don’t write every single thing down, I forget it all.

#ad As a woman over 50, I’m paying more attention #ad As a woman over 50, I’m paying more attention to my wellness routine and the little things I can do to support my body as it continues to change.

I’ve added two supplements from @ritual to my daily routine:

Ritual Perimenopause Hormone Support — designed to support women navigating the changes that can come with perimenopause. They’re formulated for women over 40 who are seeking hormone balance.

Ritual Essential for Women Multivitamin — to help fill nutritional gaps in my diet, because even when we try to eat well, we may not get every nutrient we need.

I also appreciate Ritual’s focus on ingredient traceability and transparency. And the good news? You can find Ritual at @target, too! 

Taking care of ourselves doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s the small, consistent habits that make us feel like we’re showing up for ourselves.

#ad My morning skincare routine has gotten a LOT s #ad My morning skincare routine has gotten a LOT simpler over the years. I’m not looking for 10 different steps. Instead, I want products that are easy to use and easily fit into my everyday routines and @CeraVe has me covered.

Here’s what I’m reaching for lately:

• CeraVe Brightening Vitamin C Cleanser
• CeraVe Super Boost Serum with 3 Essential Ceramides — definitely my favorite step!
• CeraVe Brightening Even Tone Lotion for face + sensitive areas
• CeraVe Skin Renewing Brightening Lotion SPF 30 in the am for sun protection

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that a skincare routine I’ll actually stick with is so much better than a complicated routine that ends up sitting on my bathroom counter collecting dust.

If you’re looking for a simple morning skincare routine for mature skin, skincare for women over 50, brightening skincare, or an easy daily skincare routine, this is a great place to start, and you can pick them all up at @target or on target.com.

Do you keep your morning skincare simple, or are you a 10-step kind of girl?🤔

#ad A little nighttime self-care is one of my favo #ad A little nighttime self-care is one of my favorite ways to unwind at the end of a busy day!
 
Looking after ourselves doesn’t have to be complicated… sometimes it’s just a few little beauty rituals that make us feel our best.
 
Tonight’s nighttime beauty routine featured a few finds from QVC…
 
• Tweezerman Facial Razor & Replacement Blades for a little at-home facial grooming. I like these for removing the peach fuzz so my makeup goes on smoother. Beware, these are sharp!
 
• Beekman 1802 Milk Rx Better Aging Compress Mask (came as part of a trio) to calm and soothe my skin after I did some exfoliating with the razor.
 
• Philosophy Fragrance 3-in-1 Shower Gel & Lotion for a relaxing bubble bath and a little everyday luxury. The Pure Grace scent is clean and refreshing.
 
I love finding beauty and skincare favorites that make my self-care routine feel special, especially when I can find them at a great price and I always feel like I can count on QVC for that.
 
Have you checked out the beauty deals and sales on QVC.com or in the QVC app lately? There are so many fun finds worth browsing! You never know what little beauty treat you might discover and with the holidays coming up, they have great gift options too.

When I found out Beekman 1802 was doing a pop-up e When I found out Beekman 1802 was doing a pop-up experience at my local Ulta Beauty, I immediately added it to my calendar.

They did product demonstrations, skincare education, and mini facials, all focused on the Milk Rx line for better aging. They were handing out samples to attendees, so I brought some home to try.

Such a great experience — the kindest staff. Thank you, @beekman1802 💛🐐💛
