my 1st youtube video!

I am absolutely obsessed with YouTube.  I love makeup tutorials, monthly favorites, Get Ready With Me videos (even Get UN-Ready With Me videos), room tours, tags, unboxings, hauls, all of it.  I waste way too much time watching my favorite YouTubers.  So naturally, since this week is finals week and I have two 25-page papers to write, a presentation, and a final (plus I had to write all my STUDENTS’ finals), I thought it would be a great idea to start a YouTube channel at midnight on a Tuesday.

I figured out the basics of my husband’s video camera that he uses to tape his teams’ basketball games, I messed around with iMovie a little and, of course, watched a few YouTube videos about making YouTube videos.  Teenage girls have the best tips.

Then I gathered some of my trash and made an Empties videos (I love those too!).  So here you go, please enjoy the fruits of my EXTREME finals week procrastination.

I am in my room from about 7:30am to 4:30pm every day, so I have to make sure I have some basics on hand to keep me feeling, smelling, and looking good. I picked up this cute plastic box from Target and filled it with a few essentials…

-ibuprofen (it’s no fun to try and teach with a headache!)
-deodorant (it’s been almost 100 degrees outside lately, so I definitely need this!)
-mouthwash (I bring a lot of leftovers for lunch!)
-bobby pins (sometimes my bangs drive me nuts by the end of the day)
-panty liners (it would be terrible not to have one when you needed one)
-tampons (obviously)
-bronzer (to help control shine and add a little color to my face)
-nail kit (for toenails or fingernails)
-mint chapstick (it makes my lips feel nice and fresh)
-Tums (you can’t teach with a tummy ache!)
-makeup brush (for the bronzer)
-hair brush (after lunch sometimes it hangs a little flat)
-Cottonelle wipes (I just much prefer these to regular TP)

What else do you always keep in your classroom?
