Between dodging sick roommates and finding the best homecoming parties and tailgates, you may have realized you forgot to prep a few things before heading back to school this year.
Luckily, HC has you covered on all the essentials you need to survive the changing seasons.
Perfect For Your Sunday Mornings
Becky Simpson – “The Roommate Book”
This book is a shoutout to all the freshman who struck out on CHARMS. Even those living with their new bestie can attest that their roommate’s annoying tendencies could lead them to crashing at a friend’s more often than they’ll actually admit. The Roommate Book guides you through the difficulty of navigating college life by answering important questions like: “Should I eat this without asking?” Becky Simpson uses her wit and hilarious hypotheticals to help you center yourself with a few laughs.
Andrews McMeel and Sarah Andersen – “Adulthood is a Myth”
The struggle is as real as this book is relatable. Those Lau 2 moments when you’re on your fourth cup of Corp coffee will definitely come to mind as you read “Adulthood is a Myth”. The tales of Sarah’s college struggles will remind you that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, despite having those 4 loads of laundry that still need to get done, along with the two papers you need to write after your “Narcos” marathon.
CamelBak – Forge Divide Mug
The only thing worse than not having coffee (or tea!) in the morning is having your coffee cold. Grabbing a solid insulated mug that has a lifetime guarantee is a step in the right direction. Safe money by bringing your own coffee, and reduce the amount of unnecessary waste going to landfills. It’s a win, win, win.
Fashion Essentials
Flying Colors Apparel – Koozies While you going through your Georgetown gear on Homecoming, you might have noticed you didn’t have enough GU flirty-fun clothing for the parties. With Flying Colors Apparel, you’re instagram will shine with great fashionable designs that will just bleed blue and gray! With Parent’s Weekend around the corner, you should check out some of the gear for parents and alums too.
Freeman Beauty – Avocado/Oatmeal Clay Mask, Feeling Beautiful Cucumber Peel Off Mask, Feeling Beautiful Charcoal & Black Sugar Polishing Mask and Feeling Beautiful Apple Cider Vinegar 4-in-1 Foaming Clay
Nothing feels better than some TLC. These masks leave your skin feeling so great. Is it a splurge? Not when you need some me-time! My personal fav is the “Feeling Beautiful Charcoal & Black Sugar Polishing Mask”, especially since I can use it to scare my roommates ;)
L’eggs – Sheer Energy Sheer Panty Medium Support If you haven’t noticed, recruiting season came early for some of you. Having a couple of reliable panties should not be an added stress during this hectic time.
Maidenform – Maidenform Love the Lift® Push Up & In Satin Demi Bra OR Maidenform Love the Lift® Push Up & In Lace Demi Bra Nothing says confidence like a girl with a comfortable bra. It’s the little things that matter.
Juicy Couture – I ♥ JUICY COUTURE Fragrance Sample
I’m pretty sure DJ Khaled mentioned that one of the keys of success is smelling good.
Rimmel London – 24HR Supercurler Mascara, Colour Precise Eyeliner and The Only 1 Lipstick When you wake up 10 minutes before class, it might be a great idea to throw on those reliable products that help you look (and feel) alive. Might we suggest the 24 HR Supercurler Mascara, Colour Precise eyeliner, and the Rimmel Only 1 Lipstick?
