I love these tips! You should make a

1.grwm for the first day of school
2. What’s in my backpack
3. Shopping haul for back to school ( clothes etc.)
4. A day at school
5. Morning and night routine on school nights

Hopefully these are enough :) 💗

I love Alyssa’s editing style!!! Also I love how she takes her time to make video ideas for every Monday and Thursday. Honestly, that seems a bit pressuring just having to know you have people waiting for a post on specific days!
