OMG. Thank you for the video! I was really debating on the reactive and you sold me 😭❤️

[@WarthogPrincess]

Thanks 😊 I hope it works out well for you!

[@alexandriamares1402]

I bought and finally got my large essential bag. It's so nice I also bought the razors they smelled so good like berries. Thank you for all your videos !!!

[@WarthogPrincess]

That's wonderful Alexandria! I'm so happy for you. Which pattern did you get for your backpack?

[@alexandriamares1402]

I didn't get a pattern I just got a backpack with one color . the large essential backpack fushia. Very pretty.

[@WarthogPrincess]

Very nice 😃

[@ashasmiley5072]

This helped a LOT! Thanks so much!

[@WarthogPrincess]

Excellent Asha. I’m really glad that helped 😃

[@alexandriamares1402]

AHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. but I scared the crap of my husband due to screaming from excitement. I love the cotton one more due to it being hot all the time here in southern California. That was very through and detailed . I needed that and I am so going shopping . THANK YOU SO SO MUCH !! also you look so beautiful like your going out to dinner. Very nice with the necklace. Love your videos.

[@alexandriamares1402]

Oops cotton is more comfortable then the other material ( in my opinion ) .

[@alexandriamares1402]

Thorough I meant

[@WarthogPrincess]

Yeah Alexandria, I'm so very glad that you liked it. I know you will have a super fun time shopping and hope that you find the perfect pattern to make your school days bright and cheerful. Thank you so much :-)

[@alexandriamares1402]

Yeah !!! Keep going !!! You never to old to go back to school. ( I have to go back myself ) after this covid is over. I can't learn online or process anything , its more of a distraction for me anything online. So I have to be in class to do it but classes are transitioned to online for now. So gotta wait, also I saw the razors at my local target gotta wait for them to get there shipment in of the 5 blade refills. I don't lile the disposables in general . you'll do great in medical school remember a C is passing !! Love your videos.

[@WarthogPrincess]

Thank you so much for the vote of confidence and the motivational note. I haven't given up on my dream - Someday when I grown up I still want to be a doctor. Unfortunately though, there are factors beyond my control having to do with my own health issues. One way or another I will most definitely go back to school, it is just more and more unlikely that it will be to fulfill my lifelong dream of medical school Will see though, never know... Miracles happen!!! What do you call the person who graduated LAST in their med school class? DOCTOR ;-)

Hi Lucy!!! 👋 🐕

[@cynthiar28]

This comparison was very helpful. I think I’ll stay away from the ReActive backpack because of its shape. It seems like it could be limiting at times. Also, I was very happy to see Lucy ❤️

[@WarthogPrincess]

Thank you so much Cynthia. I’m absolutely amazed at her sheer will to live and just be loved ❤️

[@melaniexoxo]

I need one of these Vera backpacks. I was considering the cornflower print... It has a kind of 70s country vibe to me. All the best in your education endeavors. I can't seem to even finish my undergrad lol!

[@WarthogPrincess]

Thanks Melanie. You can do it!!!

[@alexandriamares1402]

Also never get rid of your books there expensive and you can always use them as a reference.

[@WarthogPrincess]

Yep, I think I will have them until I die! I actually kept them because I fully intended to use them again in preparation for medical school.... That's another story...

[@alexandriamares1402]

Also what were you thinking of getting your degree in ? Please don't say ob/gyn sigh I hate my pap smear.

[@WarthogPrincess]

LOL!!! I have always wanted to be a general surgeon. They are like the fighter pilots of medicine and that totally fits me. My other top choices are Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology.

[@Jennybear86]

What did you take in school? I am curious. Also if you went back to school what would you study?

[@WarthogPrincess]

Undergrad was a BS Biology and then MBA. Going forward I am not certain because I haven’t given up in med school but am not getting any younger and the medical issues I have that have prevented me from going forward are still present. Will see...

[@darkkittie099]

Great video! I really love your channel. I commented on your video comparing this backpack with the XL Campus backpack in black performance twill. I still have not decided LOL😂😂😂. However, the load you used for this video would be similar to what I would use for school. This might be asking too much, but do you think you can do a video like this but packing the performance twill to full capacity? ( with the textbooks etc.) THANK YOU❤.

[@WarthogPrincess]

Hi Nat and thanks for watching. I would be happy to do that video for you and will add it to the list. Thanks for the request 😃

[@darkkittie099]

@@WarthogPrincess You are the best!😄😊😄. Thank you so much! Looking forward to it :).

[@WarthogPrincess]

What is the biggest Vera Bradley sling backpack and water proof do you recommend for a mom and grandma

[@WarthogPrincess]

Hi Tanya. There are only 2 sizes of Vera Bradley Slings. The biggest is just called the Sling and the smaller is called the Mini Sling. None of them are waterproof, but the Reactive ones are lighter and are water repellant and the Performance Twill ones are slightly heavier and are water resistant. The cotton ones are just quilted cotton and are not water resistant.

[@tanyaschwartz4872]

Warthog Princess can you recommend a good sling that holds a lot of stuff

[@WarthogPrincess]

Tanya I think a regular size Reactive Sling would great 👍
