Our Last Back to College Haul

It’s back to college time! I cannot believe that this will be the last back to college experience for my household. Both of my daughters graduated from college in the past few years and now my son is going to be a college senior. Where does the time go?! Make the most of every moment mamas!! Our kids go from kindergarten to college in the blink of an eye.

Enjoying every minute of summer vacation before heading back to college.

We recently hit our local Walmart to do some back to college shopping. We love that it’s a one stop shop for all of our back to college needs from electronics to groceries and home decor. The electronics department is probably our favorite area in the store because we both love technology. They sell everything from televisions to tablets and laptops to smart home devices, like the Google Home Mini, and more from everyone’s favorite brands. And best of all, Walmart has affordable prices for every budget.

For my son’s last year of college he will be living in a house with some of his friends. He’s a bit of a health nut and enjoys cooking healthy meals. He likes to surf the internet looking for recipes and meal ideas. We bought a small tablet at Walmart so he can conveniently look up recipes and instructions while in the kitchen. The tablet also comes in handy for finding some quick information that may be needed for his classes. While on our mini Walmart shopping spree we also purchased some new kitchen supplies that we know will be useful for his weekly meal prep.

We purchased a compact single serve Keurig coffee maker that should come in handy after late night study sessions. It’s perfect for a quick cup of coffee and a protein bar before heading out the door. Of course we didn’t forget to purchase the usual notebooks, pens and pencils too for taking notes in class.

When you’re in a Walmart store, you can head to the electronics department to find a row of available tablets as well as many other useful items. I’m certain that they’ll have many supplies to make your college student happy. We added a few to our wish lists too!

This little tablet will also be perfect for watching movies and tv shows on the plane when traveling to and from college.

Wishing this guy a happy and successful senior year!

Do you have college aged kids getting ready to return to campus? Or are you maybe a college student yourself? Check out their Back to College events scheduled for August 17th, August 24th and August 31st. Walmart makes back to college time easier for everyone. I love shopping at Walmart because I know that we can pick up everything in one place instead of the dreaded run-around from store to store. The events will be fun, so I recommend that you go to Walmart.com to find one near you.

Some handbags are just handbags… and then there ar Some handbags are just handbags… and then there are the ones that feel like a piece of art. #consuela_partner 

I’m loving the Bae City Bag from Consuela! It’s a fun statement piece, but it’s also incredibly versatile. I especially love wearing it crossbody when I want to be hands-free.

And knowing this bag is handcrafted in Mexico with attention given to every detail makes it feel even more special. Every @ConsuelaStyle bag has so much personality and character. 

If you’re already thinking about your Fall wardrobe, you definitely want to take a peek at the Consuela Fall Collection. There are SO many gorgeous bags and accessories to choose from that are fun and functional.

Go check out the collection and tell me which bag is your favorite!

I’ve been using the NEW RoC Line Smoothing 2-Step Peel Pads, and I love how simple they are to use.
 
Step 1 gently exfoliates with a blend of glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and other exfoliating acids to remove dull, rough skin.
 
Step 2 follows with RoC’s patented Clinical Retinol plus Ectoin to help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting your skin barrier. The best part? It takes just a couple of minutes and fits seamlessly into my evening skincare routine.
 
At 61, my skin feels noticeably smoother and looks brighter after using them, and with continued use they’re designed to improve texture, uneven tone, dullness, and the appearance of wrinkles.
 
At around $30 they’re an affordable way to enjoy a professional-inspired peel at home.
 
Are you as excited as I am about this new at-home dual-step treatment?

There’s something about a makeup collection that’s There’s something about a makeup collection that’s beautiful on the outside AND has a beautiful story behind it.

I’m playing with the Chantecaille Lion Collection for the first time today. The gorgeous shades are inspired by the strength and beauty of the lion and the colors of the African landscape.

But what I love most about Chantecaille is that their love of beauty goes beyond makeup. The brand has a long-standing commitment to wildlife conservation, and their lion initiatives supports Lion Guardians and their efforts to protect these magnificent endangered animals and preserve the communities that live alongside them.

And can we talk about these colors?! The warm, earthy tones are absolutely gorgeous for creating a soft, sophisticated makeup look — and yes, it’s a limited-edition collection but I’m already wishing these shades would stay around forever!

Would you wear this color story? Tell me in the comments.
