Back to School - Mom Style
Back to School Shopping generates nearly $83 billion in sales every year, with an estimated 29 million households participating. (Reference) If that made your jaw drop, you're not alone! Those are amazing numbers.
However, this mom of 3 school aged children (ages 15, 13 and 9) believes that kids should NOT be the only ones taking part in a refresh of office supplies, notebooks and bags. Moms and Dads deserve some fun this time of year, too! Or am I the only one who LOVES new notebooks, fresh pens and a cute bag?
Anyway, this week we are going to give your current bag a MAKEOVER! That's right. The kids don't have all the fun here at The Essential Life Lounge - we wouldn't be an exclusive lounge meant for spa sessions, healthy living and self-preservation girls nights if we let the kids have all the fun.
So.... how do you makeover your current bag? Let me show you.
The bag we carry day in and day out is an extension of ourselves. It offers practical use, sentimental benefits, and serves us well. It carries our lives...our identities, our finances, photos of our family, necessities, and traces of where we have been. Yes, I am talking about our Purses.
What does your purse look like? Are you a minimalist purse person who basically just carries a pocketbook? Are you a Prepared Mama with a larger purse that most men can barely even lift? Or are you somewhere in between? Is your purse tattered, worn, and well loved? Or is it the latest style? Do you stick with just one tried and true purse or do you have a closet full that you cycle through depending on the outfit or mood? Regardless of where you lie in your purse personality, it may be time to give your purse a makeover.
Even our purses need a little TLC (tender loving care) from time to time to reward them for all the hard work they do for us!
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Empty out all the trash, gum wrappers, kleenex, old receipts, and other unnecessary items that clutter the inside. Be sure to check all pockets and crevices in your bag.
- Temporarily remove all other items from your purse and assess what really needs to stay and what could be removed to “lighten the load.”
- While your purse is completely empty, spray interior with Jordan Essentials Resistance Essential Oil Spray to sanitize and freshen the inside.
- Stay organized with larger purses by placing similar items in smaller satchels. Makeup bags, decorative cash bags, lipstick cases, and other small totes work great at making it easier to find what you need quickly in a larger purse.
- Be sure to include a Jordan Essentials natural, non-toxic products in your purse so you are ready for just about anything!
- Add a carabiner clip or clasp to quickly find your keys.
