HC Back to School Survival Kit

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal State LA chapter.

As a new HC Chapter, we are still getting our feet wet learning about all the amazing things that Her Campus does! Let’s just say we were more than surprised and extremely thrilled when we received our fall Back to School Survival Kit from Her Campus!

The HC Survival Kit contains so many great goodies from different sponsors. Everything is too good to not share, so here’s a run through of what we got!

Aeropostale Gift Cards and Water Bottle

Aeropostale is a shopping mall standard, providing apparel that is both comfy and affordable! Also known as Aero, the company has been on a solid streak lately, with a new line from YouTube star Bethany Mota and being listed as one of the top 100 companies to work for according to a 2013 issue of Fortune magazine!

 

Affinitas Cupcake Panty

Affinitas Intimates is lingerie company that combines sophisticated designs and affordability. Their cupcake panties are tiny cupcake containers with panties in them, perfect as a gift or a gym bag essential.

 

Buy One Get One cards from Chipotle

Even though LA is close to real authentic tacos and burritos, Chipotle is still the number one choice for a majority of Cal State LA students. Their mega-sized burritos can fill one up for hours, and their chips are something one daydreams about. With the nearest Chipotle right down Fremont and Main, it’s such a blessing to receive this goodie!

 

Free Clue Download

Clue isn’t the board game that you are probably thinking of; it’s an addition to a game that most ladies play: keeping track of your period. With a creative but simple interface, Clue not only tracks your cycle, but also tells you when you are most fertile and when to expect PMS.

 

Discount for European Wax Center

European Wax Center is a hair removal salon with over 500 locations in the US! They offer wax services from men and women for all body parts such as arms, back, toes and even the infamous bikini line! We’re gathering the courage to look past the pain and head over to the wonderful word of smooth, hairless skin!

 

Garnier Blackhead Eliminating Scrub and Nourishing Cleansing Oil

Garnier is a household name, providing tons of hair and skin care products! The Blackhead and Nourishing Cleansing Oil are both part of Garnier’s Clean+ line and have rave reviews online.

 

Mini Coconut LUNA Bars

LUNA Bars are delicious nutrition bars that are part of the Clif Bar & Company family! The bars are aimed at women and 1% of LUNA bar sales goes toward various charities! How rad is that?

 

Nasty Gal Pins

Nasty Gal is an online-based fashion company selling tons of edgy clothing that you have to have. The buttons we got from them read “nasty gals do it better” and clearly, they do.

 

SoulCycle Free Passes

If you like to take spin classes, you’ll love SoulCycle. A self-proclaimed revolutionary indoor cycling class, SoulCycle takes spinning to a whole new level. EDM, weights, and clip on shoes are a few of the things to expect when going to SoulCycle. The nearest one to campus is in Pasadena, with other locations across Los Angeles.

 

Headbands, Recipe and Discount from sweetgreen

One of the newest organic and sustainable eateries is the popular sweetgreen with local menu items such as butternut squash soup and curry cauliflower and quinoa salad. While this farm to table salad restaurant is currently only the east coast, we’re pleased to discover the first west coast location will be opening in West Hollywood!

 

Discount for Tanda Skincare’s Zap Acne Spot Device

Looking for a way to quickly clear breakouts? Tanda has you covered! The Tanda Zap gets rid of acne using blue light technology. Tanda also has other many products for those looking for ways to rejuvenate their skincare regimen!
