#CelebrateYourself: Everything You Need for Your Summer Beach Getaway

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Chapel Hill chapter.

Her Campus Nationals, along with a number of absolutely amazing sponsors, sent Her Campus-Chapel Hill team members ‘Summer Survival Kits’ so that we could all #CelebrateYouself.  It’s full of fun and helpful goodies that are sure to make everyone’s summer beach vacations top-notch.  Check out some of the great “swag” we got, along with our recommendations on why they’re perfect for any college girl needing a post-finals de-stress on the beach…margarita in hand, of course.

Chipotle BOGO and Free Entrée Cards

Beach vacation with the girls.  One too many of the aforementioned margaritas.  NEED I SAY MORE?  I really don’t think that there is a better way in the entire world to #CelebrateYourself.

Get this: Crunch Live is an online gym…so you don’t even have to leave your house to get in summer shape!  Now that’s what I call “celebrating yourself.”

Blink Tats

In case you haven’t skimmed a fashion mag in a while, flash tattoos are all the rage, especially to pair with your itty-bitty bikini on the beach.  Blink tattoos sent Her Campus-Chapel Hill these super fun and edgy packages: ranging from plain black and very “real” looking, to metallic fashion-statement tats.  If you haven’t heard of this company, you need to check them out STAT.

Boohoo “April Showers” poncho

We can all attest that there is nothing worse than making it all the way to your destination just to be stuck inside due to bad weather.  So Boohoo sent us these super-posh ponchos so that you never have to miss a day of your vacation!  If you can’t tan on the beach that day, at least you can utilize these and go sight-see aroung the town!

Chloe+Isable GEM Cards

Thanks to these gift cards, our girls were able to get to know this awesome jewelry company.  They have everything from big statement pieces to dainty gems, for every woman’s taste (My personal favorite: the Natural Luxe collection.  It’s to die for!).  And get this, Chloe+Isabel are looking for Campus Representatives, which includes a NYC shopping spree, free and discounted jewelry, up to 40% commission on all sales, and a letter from the company’s CEO and Founder!  So if you’re in the need of a cool job with a side of fashion, make sure to apply here:
