Back to School Guide

This post may contain affiliate links. 

It’s hard to believe it’s that time again where kids are going back to school already. I know that some kids have already started school. My kids don’t go back just yet. They start school on September 1st, so they have a little while yet, but not much. This can always be a fun and stressful time for everyone. My kids are both excited for school to start up, and I’m excited for them, yet I love having them home too. I’m just glad they are excited to start school again. With school starting, I’ve come up with a list of some great products that are nice to have while going back to school. I hope you can enjoy the list and find something you love too.

Pop Art Snacks

Pop Art Snacks are a great snack for school. They are a uniquely delicious, out-of-this-world treat with worldly flavors. It’s an everyday snack that’s elevated to a savory “taste of art,” with such bold selections as Rosemary Truffle With Olive Oil and Dill Pickle Vegan Ranch to make a health-conscious foodie salivate just thinking about them! Pop Art Popcorn is Non-GMO, contains no MSG, is kosher, gluten-free, and air-popped. Made from 100% whole grains to keep you energized throughout your day. At 45 to 60 calories per cup, satisfy your cravings with these amazing selections and give your mouth a burst of epic flavor and crunch! It is vegan except for Cheddar Jalapeno and Pepper Parmesan. I love that they come in all these amazing flavors too. I love these for the kids school lunches or for snacks for when they get back home from school. These are amazing snacks that taste delicious. We love them!

Good Banana Bento Boxes

If you’re looking for a fun lunch box/ bento box for your kids, Good banana has these really fun ones. They come in a few different shapes and they are so much fun! I think kids are going to love these. They are going to be great for packing kids lunches for school too. I’ve always loved using bento boxes because they are more sturdy and help keep kids food from getting crushed before they get to eat their lunch. They are a great size that makes it easy to fit inside backpacks too, but a good enough size for them to have a great size lunch too. Perfect for school this year for kids. 

• Six shapes: unicorn, avocado, burger, donut, strawberry and rainbow
• Food-friendly BPA-free construction to prevent crushed items
• Frustration free SnackLatch lid which is easy for little hands to use
• Compartments that hold everything from sandwiches to trail mix

Dr. Jen Natural 

With school starting back up you have to make sure to be looking and feeling your best, and that means keeping  your teeth clean too. Dr. Jen has some great natural toothpaste and floss products. They have both toothpaste for kids and adults. I love that they have a great variety of toothpaste to choose from as well and some good flavors for the kids. Sometimes kids can be picky when it comes to mint toothpaste, so I like that they have a strawberry one for the kids. One of my kids loves strawberry toothpaste while the other likes to use mint. I also prefer mint, so they have all we need for my family from Dr. Jen, which is wonderful. Having all natural products is great as well. I personally have been trying to stick with more natural products. These are going to be great for the kids for back to school. It will keep everyone up with their health by keeping their teeth brush and nice and healthy.

Unicorn Glow Tinted Lip Water Stick

The Unicorn Glow Tinted Lip Water Stick is an innovative lip stain that comes in a lightweight, watery “tint stick” type format that applies buildable vibrant color effortlessly to lips. This silky and watery texture glides onto lips, delivering long-lasting color with a delicious fruity scent that quickly dries down to semi-matte finish. They come in two different colors and are absolutely beautiful. With school starting, these would be great for those who are looking for a great looking lip color to add to their beauty routine. I really love these because of their gorgeous colors and how quickly they dry. It’s nice that they have a nice fruity scent as well. You don’t usually get that with a tinted lip stick, so that was a nice touch too. I think these are going to be great for anyone looking for some lovely lip colors.

Barrel and Oak Spiced Sandalwood Bar Soap

After a long day at school you probably need to wash up. With this exfoliating bar soap, you can give your pores a deep clean.  Kaolin clay and ground olive stone add some force to your cleansing. But don’t worry, these natural ingredients only take what’s necessary without over-drying. Not only is it good for your body, but this bar soap reduces environmental impact by using certified sustainable palm oil. Such a great bar of soap this one is. An amazing smelling soap and does wonders at washing away all that dirt and such that may be left on your body. Everyone needs to wash up each day, and having a nice soap like this is great for keeping clean. I know some may get their hands even dirtier then others, so it’s nice to have a soap bar like this. (My husband works on cars a lot, so having this is real nice for his hands.) If you’re not a fan of this scent, they do have others to choose from as well.

This weighted comforter from Eli & Elm may help you sleep better at night too. It has already done wonders for me. I’ve been sleeping a lot better at night. I like that it’s not as weighted as some other weighted blankets too. I’ve tried others in the past, and this one is the first I’ve actually been able to use.
