My Essentials
i wanted to share with y'all my essentials ! basically everything that i couldn't function without. what makes McKinley function is these items right here & if i didn't have them would i even be myself ? probably not.
water bottles. i have 2 water bottles that i religiously use. i have my Nathan bottle & my S'well. i use my Nathan bottle at school bc it's bigger & i use my S'well when it's super hot & i want cold water or i know i have to carry it around. i bought the Nathan bottle @ TJ Maxx & my S'well at Target. i decorated both of them with some of my favorite stickers (more info on how to get them coming soon).
Chacos. i have 2 pairs of 2 strap chacos & i literally don't know who i would be without them ! they're super comfortable, sturdy, & versitile. although they're more expensive, you definitely get your moneys worth.
casio watch. i love this watch & i wear it everyday. i'm very structured & i like a schedule so it helps me feel like i'm more in control & it seems to help me remember when i have to do things. it has a bunch of helpful features on it & it's comfortable on your wrist. i even wear it to the gym.
(watch)
EOS Lip Balm. this is my favorite chap stick. it lasts a long time & it's really moisturizing ! i usually put it on right before bed & i wake up the next morning & theres chapstick still on my lips.
Vera Bradley luggage. i have always loved vera bradley. i think their patterns are cute, they have a bag for just about anything you can think of, & they always have great sales !! for christmas i got the grand traveler bag in pattern Cobalt Tile & i immediately fell in love. it has so much storage & a ton of pockets. i also got the makeup carrier in the matching pattern Cobalt Tile. i love this bag bc it holds all of my stuff & has a compartment for everything ! i have used both of these bags at least a hundred times since i got it !!
(duffle (on sale), cosmetic bag)
Kate Spade purse. i love Kate Spade. ive always loved it, they have the cutest bags & colors & adorable jewelry. i only own Kate Spade purses. they're durable & functional, yet cute & feminine. what more could you want ?!
& of course in my purse i always have EOS hand lotion, bandaids, & Bath & Body Works hand santizer. bc you never know when you'll need it. y'all, all of my friends call it the mom purse & they know that i literally have everything you could ever need in there lol
Bath & Body Works Luxury Bubble Bath. seriously this stuff is God's gift to the world, i'm convinced. they have it in all of their normal fragrances & it's heavenly. a little goes a long way & it leaves your skin soft & scented. i'm obsessed & i really don't know how i lived before i had it.
Palmer's coconut oil infused lotion. this stuff is summer in a bottle. it smells great & it makes your legs feel great. it's all natural & it leaves my legs soft for like 3 days. definitely worth it.
my clear hair clip. this hair clip is practically my life line. literally who is McKinley without this clip. ive had it for as long as i can remember. my nightly routine is usually to brush my teeth & then wash my face, but bc i have such long hair it ALWAYS gets in the way ! so i use this handy dandy clip & my life is instantly 100x better. i couldn't find my clip one night & i literally yelled @ my sister bc i thought she had it & she lost it, turns out it was in my room. #bestbigsisteraward #notreally #imactuallytheworst moral of the story: don't mess with my clip !!
NYX matte setting spray. i know there is nothing in this world that is certain except the Bible, but i think this stuff has the highest level of worldly certainty. if i spray this stuff my makeup is not going anywhere !! plus it's super inexpensive.
