Leigh's must haves/ mentioned in this video:

Target:
- Wide Ruled 1 Subject Flexible Plastic Cover Spiral Notebook $0.95 ( all time favorite and cheap notebook for journaling and taking notes) 
- Sharpie 5pk Highlighters Gel Bullet Tip Multicolored $7.69 ( BEST HIGHLIGHTERS) 
- Sharpie Clear View 3pk Highlighters Fine Chisel Tip $4.89 ( I also love these ones ) 
-Post-it 4pk Mini Square To-Do Notes 1.4"x1.4" Cool ( so fun to add to my notes and makes them cuter and also helps me remember extra things I need to get done) 
- The little book of confidence ( you can find this by the card section in target, it is filled with quotes from famous artists, authors and motivational speakers. Reading this in the morning automatically motivates me) 

Breakfast:
Something new I've recently discovered is overnight oats, its the perfect solution for when you need to wake up early in the morning and don't want to have to worry about making food. Just do equal parts of oats and milk, add fruit, yogurt, chia, vanilla and anything else you want. then put in the fridge over night then Viola you have breakfast in the morning. I have used this countless times throughout the past few weeks for when I had work early in the morning. you can use any recipe online or make it up yourself!
