We have the scoop on all the back to school, back to work, back to fall essentials when it comes to beauty, health, school, and work supplies. 

A Good Hair Day Helper
After a summer spent at the beach, pool and in the sun, your hair might be feeling dry. To give yours a boost try Herbal Essences. It really hydrates and nourishes and makes your hair noticeably healthy and soft. There’s a collection for everyone, no matter your hair type or texture. One of our favorites is their Mango + Potent Aloe, because it’s amazing for curly hair. The collection has a curl cream too that boosts shine and defines your curls and keeps them for longer. The entire line-up is PETA certified, cruelty-free, sulfate-free, and bonus, they smell amazing. You can find Herbal Essences everywhere.

School and Work Staples
We hit Staples Connect and found amazing stuff for whether you’re actually going back in the classroom, or working from home. They have everything you need from backpacks and binders to notebooks, pens in all the hottest patterns and prints, and really great deals on all of it. They also have great tech essentials too, from laptops to monitors. Staples is there for teachers too...through September 30th, teachers registered in Classroom Rewards through the Staples Connect app get 20% back in rewards from purchases made by registered parents.

Health Must-Haves
Flintstones Multivitamins are the #1 pediatrician recommended children’s chewable brand. Now they have new super cool Flintstones SuperBeans Multivitamins, shaped like a cute bean. They’re a fun new way to give your kiddos a fruity multivitamin and immunity support with key nutrients, vitamin A, B6, B12, C, and E. They are also free from high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, flavors, and colors. Get them at Target.

Easy and Eco-friendly Alternative to Eyewear
When it comes to vision, glasses might not always be the first choice for kids who need them. In fact, nearly 4 out of 5 teens say they prefer contact lenses over glasses. They’re great too if your child plays sports and a great choice for first time wearers is Biotrue® Oneday by Bausch + Lomb. They are easy to use and you don’t have to clean or store them because they’re disposable. Just pop in a new pair each day. They’re full of moisture and comfortable too. Plus they’re eco-friendly, having the first and only contact lens recycling program in the country called One by One. Just save used lenses and the blister packs they come in and take them to a One by One participating eye doctor to be recycled. Of course, you should check with your eye doctor to see if lenses are right for your kids. Check them out at biotrueonedaylenses.com.
