So everyone knows it's coming. Back to school. So I'm letting you in on how I get ready for school to start back. Lets start with back to school shopping. It takes quite a while to go to the store and get stuff for school. I know, that makes me sound really lazy, and I am, but I'm also busy. So it's easier for me to do back to school shopping online. Now if its like makeup or snacks, I will get up and go get it. Pencils, binders, composition books, and even backpacks can all easily be purchased online. Sometimes its even cheaper. Once I receive said supplies, I can DIY them. For my notebooks I just printed out or made binder templates and slid them into the front of my binders. On other binders I took my favorite quotes from songs, books, or my favorite people and wrote them in different colors on paper, then slid that paper in to my binder. The last thing you can do is take labels and put them on folders. Write whatever subject you need that folder for on the label. That's all I've got! I know it was kind of a short list. Sorry about that. Thanks for reading!!

Review time!!!
Alright guys lets just jump right in. So recently I ran out of like everything. Meaning I went to Walmart, Publix, and CVS and picked up a few things. I have combination/sensitive skin, so keep that in mind. I got the Neutrogena oil free acne stress control triple action toner, the knock off (Publix brand) medicated apricot scrub, and the Neutrogena oil free acne wash pink grapefruit facial cleanser. All of these products cost somewhere between $5 and $10. Bottom line none of these products worked for me. The Neutrogena toner did fine the first night, but the second night my face looked like I had an awful sunburn (which I did not) and felt like it was on fire. The burning sensation and rash only occurred around and on my nose, not my cheeks, chin, or forehead. So I dont know what caused that, but I didn't use it again afterwards. So I dont recommend this product if you have sensitive skin. The Publix brand apricot did a fine job of exfoliating, but broke me out in the process. Also I found it to be very drying, even with moisturizer. The Neutrogena facial cleanser didn't break me out or give me a rash. However I didn't notice my acne going away, and I was under the impression that it was supposed to when using that cleanser. It also smelled quite strongly of grapefruit, and said smell was not to my liking. I have heard that the other products from the Neutrogena pink grapefruit line are better, but I haven't tried any of them. Once again, bottom line, none of these products worked for me. I would not repurchase any of these products, or recommend them to people without telling them my experience first. I hope this review was helpful!
