Back to School Locker Organization/Essentials

Hiya everyone! I'm Hayley (you can also call me Hayl) and this is my first post. My first post is going to be about locker organization. I'm going to give you tips and ideas for your locker and to hopefully make this school year more organized!



What to Keep in Your Locker

• Some lotion/perfume/fragrance. You're going to want to freshen up throughout the day, especially after gym class, so if you keep just a little tiny bottle of body mist or perfume, spritz it on in between classes! Having lotion is a great idea too, especially in winter when your skin is most likely to get more dry.
• Feminine products. Sorry if this topic makes you uncomfortable, but I'm just going to be upfront about it. If you have had your period, you're definitely going to want to keep a little bag and put pantyliners, pads, tampons - whatever you use - in your locker. Don't worry, if you keep it in a little makeup bag, no one will know. That brings me to my next topic...
• Makeup bag. If you wear makeup, chances are you're going to want to bring one of these. Don't bring too much makeup though. What I suggest bringing is only one mascara, eyeliner, lipstick/gloss, and concealer/powder for touchups throughout the day. 
• Mirror. Whether it be for doing makeup or just making sure you have nothing in your teeth, keep a mirror in your locker! You can find a magnetic one basically anywhere that sells school supplies.
• Extra supplies. You're going to eventually need a new pencil or pen, so keep a couple of extra things in your locker just in case.
• Hand sanitizer. With cold season coming up, you're going to want to keep your hands nice and clean so you don't spread germs and get sick!

Tips for Organization

• Don't keep too much stuff in your locker! You want it to be organized. Just keep the essentials. A messy locker means poor organization, and it might mean it'll take longer for you to get to classes! If  you find that you have things you don't use in your locker, take those items out.
• Shelves. If you can find locker shelves, those are great for organizing things. If you can't find them, don't worry. They're not that mandatory.
• Don't keep stuff you need in your backpack. In the end, it just wastes the short amount of time you have between classes. You have a locker for a reason!

That's all I have for you today! If you have any more ideas that maybe I didn't list here, please tell me in the comments. Thanks for reading!
