Back-to-school season has a way of sneaking up on you. One minute you’re knee deep in summer excursions, and the next you’re comparing backpacks, reviewing school supply lists, buying yet another (hopefully durable) water bottle, and trying to remember what actually makes mornings (and nights) easier.
It’s easy to deprioritize yourself when things get busy, so we put together a different kind of back-to-school guide. We know you’ve got the pencils, the glue sticks and the tissues covered, so we focused on rounding up some simple but effective wellness solutions that make it possible to take care of yourself without being a heavy lift on the routines you’re trying to put in place right now.
We asked the parents of OLLY and some teachers—who are all too familiar with this yearly transition—about the supplements they rely on so they can show up for the little scholars in their life.
Here’s what they would recommend to other parents looking to build (or hold onto) their back-to-school wellness routine:

Goodbye Stress
“Goodbye Stress actually quite literally was the reason I survived college! Especially if you are dorming, it's the first time you're officially on your own and having to balance everything from studying, working, extracurriculars on campus and even new things like grocery shopping, managing your laundry, caring for your wellness, etc. It's a lot, so having something to calm your mind* is lovely.”
-Megan C.
Whether OLLY is already part of your daily routines, or if you need help creating new routines that’ll stick, these simple, feel-good additions make it easy to support the family so everyone can head back to school feeling ready.
You’ve got this, parents! If you’re feeling a little stressy and perhaps just a little bit messy about back to school, you’re not alone. Check out some tips OLLY and brand ambassador Ashley Graham put together for keeping your cool during this transition.

With a few smart picks and a routine that feels doable, this school year can start on a bright, organized and OLLY kind of note.
