There’s something uniquely satisfying about back-to-school shopping. The blank-slate feeling of cracking open a new notebook. The excitement of shopping for cool-weather wardrobe staples, and the small thrill of picking out your first-day-of-school outfit.
Starting this year, we’re channeling that same back-to-school joy into our wellness routines so that transitioning from laidback summer vibes to busy fall schedules feels less stressful and more like a fresh start.
To help you make it happen, we rounded up a few of our favorite back-to-busy season staples that you can snag during the Walmart Beauty Glow-Up Event, where you’ll find savings on hundreds of self-care essentials online and in store from now until Sept. 24.
Think of it as your own back-to-school shopping list—with a wellness spin to help save you time, support your immune system (we see you lurking, cold season), and keep you feeling confident as you wave goodbye to summer and hello to fall.
