Back-to-school: essential school stationery

I am back with a series! It is actually my first time doing a topic on back-to-school as seen mainly on Youtube. Many beauty-gurus upload this kind of video(s) annually. When they do, it makes me feel excited and look forward for school! The thing is that each semester/school year starts differently from country to country, some may start at August/September (after summer) or other months. In my country, we will start another year after New Year, January.  Interesting eh?

Anyway, without further ado, lets begin with what I purchased (stationery) over this period of time! Months ago, I did went for a school's supplies trip with KT to Popular.  So you betcha! Many things were undoubtedly bought from there, and minority from elsewhere like Daiso and other small stores.

There are three things I would specifically want to show you: The box, pencil case and beauty case. Side note: I do not have an absolute good quality camera as I am using my phone, so don't mind! I am still in the progress of saving $$. >_<



The box:
1. Staple bullets & Binder clips - you do not want to be in the situation whereby you run out of them and has trouble finding other sources to help keep the papers together, do you?  
2. Erasers - you make mistakes, you erase them only on papers, not outside... simple? That was totally random actually!
3. Mechanical pencil leads - Another thing as important as staple bullets.
4. Correction tapes/ wipe-outs - A neat work would be truly admired rather than a messy one with many cancellations, don't you think?
5. Glue sticks - There is always these part of lessons in school whereby a cut-and-paste activity is carried out by a teacher to do reflections, discussions and stuffs.  
6. Extra rulers & Pencils - In case! You never know when you can 'accidentally' break your current ruler/pencil, especially when tests/examinations are round the corner, this early preparation will help you by giving you a lower stress level and concentrate on your required work.
7. Paper fasteners (optional) - For those classes that require the use of thin plastic files, this might be for you!

Pencil case:
1. Whole puncture - I don't know about you, but my classes require a lot of independent filing on worksheets. A whole puncture will come handy anytime.
2. Glue stick and Correction tape/wipe-out - mentioned above!
3. Highlighter and ruler - Its important to highlight key words, especially during science and literature class for me, teehee. (A self reminder, once again). Ruler mentioned above!
4. Staple - To keep papers united!
5. Scissors - You definitely need it!
6. Eraser - mentioned above!
7. Some pens and pencils - I personally prefer using mechanical pencils to pencils.

Beauty case:
1. Mini comb - My hair will somehow get messy at any part of the day so currently, combs are essential for me. Just don't like seeing strands of hair flying about my head.
2. Mini\mirror - need to make sure everything is okay!
3. Lip-balm -  Lips tend to be dry and chapped, so keeping it moisturized is important.
4. Facial wipes & oil control films - We definitely sweat for certain reasons, carrying facial wipes about will just do the job on maintaining a clean face. On the other hand, although I do not have a oily skin... I still like to carry the oil control films with me to keep my face extra clean (somehow).
5. Deodorant (shh) - You need it girl! We often have this sweaty odor after carrying intensive sports during P.E. This will eventually keep out confidence level higher.

Alright loves, this is yet another so-called supplies haul video... the main things I often use. I would like to make more of these videos in future, hehehe!

Cya! x

  2. Hey you're on the right section! I wonder if this will work for you, but recently, I came up with this idea to set another pencil case aside (an old one that is worn off). Inside it, I placed a few extra pens, pencils, staple and erasers which are not expensive nor in a extremely good condition... this stationery inside the pencil case will then be for lending! ;) Some people might call this idea kinda "selfish" but well, that is how I roll! XD
