It’s that time of year again…school shopping! But, when it comes to shopping for college students, it’s a little more involved. With elementary through high school, you generally get a shopping list of what the school requires. By the time you get to college, they leave you on your own to figure it out.
This year, I decided to make a necessities guide to help the college students and parents out! There is so much more to shopping for the college years than just pencils and paper. You have dorms to outfit, small appliances to purchase, snacks, meals, etc. Come along with me, and let me show you some fantastic products that will be useful to your college student!
College Necessities
When you drink TEN Spring Water, you experience water like no other. Many bottled waters can be acidic, but TEN is no ordinary water because it is rich with essential alkaline minerals and electrolytes. The result is a great-tasting and refreshing water with a higher pH, just like water found in the purest glaciers.
- Sourced from natural springs, never from a municipal (tap) water source
- Stable pH — tested to hold pH in the bottle for a minimum of 2 years
- BPA-free bottle
My Thoughts:
This water is delicious! In fact, my son actually drank most of it, and he's picky about things like that! He's been begging me to order more! I love that it comes in a can, making it super easy to put in a mini fridge in a college dorm!
Bottoms Up™ Brush is good for wet and dry… hairstyling. Oblong vent pattern allows for easy airflow access and thin, yet flexible bristles with gentle ball tips help glide through hair.

My Thoughts: I love this idea! College students have a brush and a bottle opener in one, making this very convenient to have! The brush works well, and I use it daily. It is vented, so I can use my hair dryer if I choose. It's easy to hold onto, and easy to clean the hair out of.
My Thoughts: THESE MEALS ARE AMAZING! Seriously, they are the absolute best pre-packaged foods I've eaten. They taste like homemade, and they are super convenient to eat. If you are around a microwave, you've got a hot meal.
My oldest son is super, super picky. He fell in love with these meals, and has since decided to place an order for more.
The Sarah wall organizer loves simplicity. A minimalist look and feel allows her to do what she wants! Get a fresh start with a blank slate – or three. The organizational options are endless with The Sarah. Meal plan? Yep. Chore list? Of course. Inspirational quotes? Sure, if that’s your thing. The Sarah fits easily into any lifestyle.
My Thoughts: This is a beautiful and functional organizer. In fact, I put it in our office at work to help us be more organized! This is the perfect thing for a college student to have in their dorm room! You can choose how you want the layout to be, so it's unique to you!
My Thoughts: I went into the experience very skeptical. I was proven wrong. Very wrong. No Fade Fresh actually works! I decided to not do a second application because I wanted to test the length of wear in one use. It has been more than a month and a half, and I STILL have color from just one application! I definitely love this! It's convenient for college students who don't have a lot of time or money to get their hair colored. It's inexpensive and can be applied right in the shower!

My Thoughts: I really love the flavor of these! Vitamin C is definitely the way to go! I work in the public, so I'm around lots of germs. These will definitely be in my daily routine from now on!

Artful Agenda combines the fun and personalization of a paper planner with the convenience of a digital calendar. Choose your cover design, pick your handwriting, color code events and personalize with stickers.
My Thoughts: Oh Em Gee! I am obsessed with lists and planners. The problem is, I don't want to carry one with me everywhere I go! Since I started using Artful Agenda, I actually finish my to-do lists, and keep track of appointments so much better! I do it right from my iPhone, without having to carry anything extra with me. This is definitely one planner I'll be keeping around!
