Backpack, check. Laptop and class list, check and check. You might think you have the basics to get through college life, but I have a fun list of “she-vival” essentials that you should pick up before heading back to school!
FUJIFILM’s INSTAX Mini 70 Camera
Printing out photos is a thing of the past. However, FUJIFILM is changing all of that with the latest addition to their ‘INSTAX mini’ series! FUJIFILM’s INSTAX Mini 70 camera produces credit card-sized photos instantly. You don’t have to go out of your way now to get those precious memories directly into your hands.
It’s great on the go! You can toss it right into your backpack and capture those picture perfect college memories with just two simple steps — just point and shoot!
Besides, what’s better than being able to INSTANTLY take a selfie or picture with your friends and then post it on your ACTUAL wall, not just your Facebook wall. And within 90 seconds?! The selfie mode on the INSTAX Mini 70 automatically adjusts by using the front-facing selfie mirror, so you don’t have to worry about it coming out unfocused or funky.
The compact camera has a flash and different modes for lighting or activities so you can make sure to always have flawless INSTAX pictures.
I took the handy dandy INSTAX Mini 70 out with me to shoot some pics of my dog Bella (Instagram: @BellaThePirate) and they turned out great, despite the fact that she kept moving around!
I also love that the Instax Mini 70 comes in six different colors, which means you can pick the best one to match your personality. You can choose from Canary Yellow, Moon White, Island Blue, Passion Red, Midnight Black, or Stardust Gold.
The Instax Mini 70 is $139.95 and the INSTAX Mini Instant film is sold separately for $19.95 for a double pack with 20 exposures. It may seem a little pricey, but trust me when I say it’s totally worth it. You can’t really put a price on school memories, so make sure you pick up extra exposures before you head back to school!

GreenPan Mini Ceramic Non-Stick Square Egg Pan
I absolutely LOVE this Thermolon™ ceramic non-stick pan! You get the perfect frying results from this bad boy by using less oil than an average pan and the clean up is super easy. Whether you have a dorm or an apartment, this pan is big enough for all of your cooking needs. This is definitely something you want to add to your back to school packing list! You will not be disappointed!
Even though it may seem a little small by being only 5 inches, the GreenPan™ Square egg pan is literally perfect. You can make pancakes, eggs, whatever your brunching heart desires! I love the recipe book that comes with it! I tried making pancake tacos and it was so easy and delicious! It heats up very quickly and it cooks evenly, too!
When you live in the dorms, it’s hard to wash your dishes — considering the fact that you don’t really have a sink, let alone a kitchen in your room — but the pan is coated with Thermolon™ healthy ceramic non-stick, so cleaning up is easy as one, two, three!
Check it out here and make sure to purchase one of these before you head off to college.

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula FlipBalms
These lip balms are changing the game! They’re Flipbalms! What exactly is a FlipBalm you might ask? Well, it’s a super convenient new design from Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula. The “flip to open” packaging design allows you to easily apply your lip balm with just one hand!
I love that I can apply these while multi-tasking and know that it will be mess free — these were easy peasy!
You’ll love the three fruity flavors it comes in; Juicy Watermelon, Creamy Coconut, and Ripe Mango. The flavors may be amazing, but the best part about these FlipBalms is that it glides on smoothly. It instantly moisturizes and the long-lasting protection (over 8 hours) because of the natural ingredients like pure Cocoa Butter, raw Shea Butter and Vitamin E make it that much more incredible.
It’s also free of parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, and gluten, so don’t walk — seriously, run to your nearest Target, Kmart, Five Below and even Palmers.com to swoop up some of these! Plus, they’re only $3.50, so they’re super affordable!

Zebra Pen Assortment
These are some of my absolute pens ever!! The Sarasa Gel dries instantly and it literally glides across the surface — they’re SO smooth when in use! The Z-Grip Ballpoint pens have the smoothest, low-viscosity ballpoint ink. I love all the different colors you can get these in!
Plus, there is a Breast Cancer Awareness pink barrel decorated pen so you can do good while writing pretty!
Personally, I use these in my planner. I’m crazy about having everything color coded and these are so perfect for that. Plus, it doesn’t smudge all over the page since it dries super fast!
