[Ad – Gifted Products, updated to add new items] Back to school always comes around a little faster than we’d like! Now that summer is winding to the end, it’s time to look at your school supplies and see what needs replacing. We tend to refresh most things in our household, so that everyone has a new set for the new year. Below are some of the essentials we get for back to school time!

Air Up Water Bottle

I must say, I really wasn’t sure about the idea of the Air Up, especially when it came to using a scent to get kids to drink more water. It turns out, however, these really do work! We’ve picked up a bunch of the various scents, including candy ones, and have seen a real up-tick in interest in water. This feels like a great way to keep kids drinking water during the school day.

Bright Eyes, Youthful Look: Modern Techniques for Smooth Eye Contours

There are a lot of people out there that will not go in chlorine-filled water when they’ve had their hair dyed, due to the effect it has on hair. On the other hand, I do feel like Robin, Amelia and Kai are only going to be kids for so long (with the older two already hitting mid-teens!) so I am going to go into the water whenever they do. Since we were going to Center Parcs once again, I grabbed a bottle of Aqua Guard to see how it faired.
