This post is all about the essentials items and tips every student needs to know to create the best morning routine!

Best Morning Routine For Students

1. Tongue Scraper

First things first, in the morning we live by these metal tongue scrapers. Before even brushing your teeth, these will completely curb your morning breath and remove any plaque that has built up over night.

Starting your morning with an extra step in your hygiene routine will get your day going on the right foot and make you feel productive with such a simple added task.

2. Skinny Confidential Ice Roller

Feeling refreshed in the morning, especially with an 8 am, is definitely a challenge. Implementing this stainless steel ice roller into our morning routine has been a game changer.

Find yourself suddenly feeling alert, less puffy, and ready to start the day. The stainless steel design ensures no bacteria is caught on the device to cause any breakouts, along with keeping it super icy-cold for hours.

3. Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches

Taking it a step further, these caffeine energizing hydrogel eye patches are the perfect morning hack to feel and look much more awake. Early mornings have been saved with this product, and under eye circles are bound to disappear in a few minutes.

We love these here at A Guide To Her because they’re so fast and easy to throw on. Put these on for 10-15 minutes while you’re finishing the rest of your morning routine!

4. Aloe Vera Juice

The first thing we aim to ingest every morning is organic aloe vera juice. This instantly boosts hydration, which is most important first thing in the morning.

Aloe vera juice has transformed our skin and energy levels. One shot every morning is an amazing habit to implement every single morning!

5. Sunlight

Getting sunlight in our eyes immediately after waking is key for alertness and adjusting your circadian rhythm. Doing so will make it easier to wake up naturally at the same time everyday.

Go for a ten minute walk in the morning or opt to eat your breakfast on your balcony. This simple change will create a major change throughout the rest of your day!

6. The Five Minute Journal

One of our favorite habits to do while we’re getting in our morning sunlight is morning journaling. The Five Minute Journal is a perfect tool for beginners to journaling because it leads you through different prompts that guide your intentions for the day.

Daily journaling is perfect to instill a gratitude habit in your morning and set your intention for the rest of the day. Since starting journaling, editors at A Guide To Her have noticed increased mental clarity and an overall increase in happiness!

7. Celery Juice

Last but not least, juicing is a huge part of the best morning routine for students. As students, we often disregard our health, even though it is our most valuable asset.

A great ritual is to juice a few bunches of celery at the start of the week to have it prepared to drink each morning. Celery juice on an empty stomach cleanses your system before you eat anything or get started with your day.

Best College Apartment Organization Tips

1. Coffee Pod Organizer

With my obsession with Nespresso pods throughout college also came my obsession with finding a way to organize them. This super sleek organizer definitely came in handy when I was living with 10 girls who all needed their pods in order!

It will also serve as a reminder for when you are running low and need to restock. I cannot get over how much this item has improved my morning routine!

2. Under the Bed Bin

Getting the smallest room in my 5-bedroom college apartment was definitely not ideal, but these under the bed bins were an absolute game changer that I wish I had gotten on day one. My small closet space became so spacious when I transferred any out-of season clothes to these organizers.

With most college apartments being somewhat of a tight-squeeze, make sure to pick these up to make your life 100x easier!

3. Hanging Shoe Organizer

To pair with my under the bed bins, these hanging shoe organizer cleared up the floor space in my tiny closet. All your shoes will fit in this organizer and stay out of the way!

They’re also collapsible and super easy to store away while you’re moving.

4. Produce Organizer

Sharing a fridge with so many roommates is definitely tricky, but these produce organizers make life so much easier. They are also able to keep your produce fresh for way longer!

I love how they can stack on each other and clear up space for other things in your fridge.

5. Spice Rack

Before my roommates and I got a spice rack, the pantries were an absolutely mess. This organization tool is amazing because you can see the names of all your spices and save a ton of space!

Pro tip: Alphabetically organize the spices in the rack so you never lose trick of where anything is!

6. Drawer Organizers

These drawer organizers are so versatile and can be used absolutely everywhere! We recommend them in your desk, bathroom, junk drawers, and kitchen!

You can measure the size of your drawers and go crazy mixing and matching different shapes and sizes! The grip on the bottom is especially helpful so nothing slides around.

7. Last but not least, DECLUTTER!

After implementing all of these tips and more, things might still seem out of order. This is where my best and final tip comes in… decluttering! Becoming more minimalistic is one of the best things you can do for your personal wellbeing, especially in a transitionary time like college.

Who doesn’t want less things to worry about?!? Life will feel so much more stress-free, and its also a great opportunity to reinvent your style!

Want to know the top trends this year that will complete your Coachella outfits this spring? These are the fashionista-approved trends you must know, especially if you’re a college student!

The most long-awaited festival of the year is right around the corner, and if you’re anything like us you’re already stressing about choosing the Coachella outfits. There is so much out there to choose from, so we decided to create this much-needed guide for our readers.

We have gathered up the top trends that you need to curate your weekend look book for this spring’s event.

After learning about these 2023 trends, you will be set to stun everyone at the long-awaited desert festival.

This post is all about Coachella outfit trends that you need in 2023.

Top Coachella Outfit Trends

1. Sequin Skirts

Sequined skirts have been so in the past few months. For a flashy, fashion-statement festival like Coachella, this trend is perfect! These skirts are the perfect addition to a simple outfit and will have you glistening in the desert sun!

You can find sequined skirts at lots of clothing stores, but the one I linked above from Edikted is my personal favorite!

2. Knee-High Fold Over Boots

Okay, so we clearly all know about the cowboy boot trend at Coachella. This year, we’re ditching those and transitioning to these insanely hot fold-over knee high boots. This has been one of our favorite trends recently, and they’re definitely going to be a hit at the upcoming festival.

Feel free to experiment with either solid colored or even sparkly versions of these boots. The ones I linked above are super affordable for my college girlies going to Chella but super comfortable and reliable at the same time!

3. Silver, silver, silver!

Going off of the sequins trends, silver in general is a must-have for your Coachella outfits in 2023. Anything silver is an immediate yes. A Guide to Her recommends silver handbags, metallic silver bikini tops, and silver pants.

Personally, I love the Lolita Jade silver buckle bag linked above. It is a perfect accessory that I will most definitely be adding to my outfits this year.

4. Parachute Pants

Parachute pants are a trend we have definitely been seeing for a while. However, with the casual vibe coming back into play, its seeming that they will be making a comeback for the festival this year. We are staying comfortable, effortless, and stylish this 2023, and these pants are the perfect way to do it.

The ones I linked above from Princess Polly have been one of my wardrobe staples for the past few months, but feel free to experiment with different colors and styles!

5. Y2K T-Shirts

I am absolutely obsessed with Y2K rhinestone t-shirts. Addison Rae has definitely solidified this trend for me. I think debuting some funny t-shirt slogans this year at Coachella will be iconic.

I found this one online but I think a great option would be making a quick search on Depop. You will definitely find tons of unique ones there!

If you don’t know what lagree is, it’s literally pilates on crack. After doing regular pilates for over a year, I was not ready for what lagree had in store.

Lagree vs. Pilates

While pilates is focused on the pillars of breathing, concentration, control, centering, flow, postural alignment, and precision, lagree is focused on effective form, range of motion, tempo, duration, tension, transition, and plane of motion. In short, it is a high-intensity version of pilates performed on a Megaformer rather than a Reformer machine.

Both of the studios I’ve done lagree at are amazing. I started at Pilates Plus in Malibu. The ocean-view is such a selling point but it’s a little bit too far from me. Motivate Studios was perfect for me because the instructors and community are amazing and it’s closer.

If you want rock solid abs and a lean but toned body, I would 100% recommend lagree. It completely changed my body by targeting the smallest muscles that I didn’t even know existed. I finally discovered the perfect workout to achieve the slim and toned body of my dreams. Go try lagree!!! But just make sure to block off the next 2-3 days in your calendar because the soreness after the first time is no joke!
