Midterms. Mondays. Mornings. Especially Monday mornings. All are trying times in a collegiette’s life.
The transition from summer break to fall semester is also one of these times. We get it. You had an incredible summer. You took a fabulous vacation, jump-started your dream career with an amazing internship or simply enjoyed your three months off relaxing by the pool. The last thing on your mind is school and everything that comes with it like papers, exams, homework and stress.
No-one knows this better than Her Campus. That’s why they sent our team a Back-to-School Survival Kit filled with a ton of awesome products from nine generous sponsors. Check out all of the items below that will help ease us back into the year.
One of my personal favorites that we received were sources of financial aid. Now it’s not the kind of financial aid you’re used to, but money in the form of buy one get one free burrito cards from Chipotle. I don’t know about you, but that’s the best financial aid I’ve ever heard of!
One item that our team loved were the Affinitas Cupcake Panties. What makes them so unique is the packaging. An assortment of patterned and lace underwear are individually wrapped in adorable, little boxes that have the silhouette of a cupcake. No-one knows what’s inside but you! Tuck it in your gym bag, stash at your boyfriend’s or toss them into your overnight duffel for a weekend getaway. They are a perfect fit for every occasion.
Another great item for constant on-the-go movement are chocolate dipped coconut mini LUNA bars. Not only do they taste delicious, but they’re super easy to throw in your bag for a healthy snack between classes or on the way to meetings.
Skincare is one of the most important things for a busy collegiette to consider. That’s why we love the Blackhead Eliminating Scrub and Nourishing Cleansing Oil samples that Garnier sent us. The scrub provides an awesome exfoliating gel with micro beads that deeply cleanse, tighten pores and smooth skin.
On the topic of skincare, Tanda Zap gave us two of their Acne Spot Treatment Devices. The devices are pocket-sized zit zappers which are clinically proven to clear or fade zits in just 24 hours! A bunch of our members also scored buy one get one 50% coupons.
We also received coupon codes for a free download of Clue, a period-tracking app, $5 off exfoliating gel coupons from European Wax Center and $10 coupons to Aeropostale! One lucky girl also snagged a cute water bottle from Aeropostale.
Finally, Nasty Gal sent us a custom tote and special addition “Nasty Gals Do It Better” pins that aren’t available anywhere for sale. Because of our Back-to-School Survival Kit, our Her Campus Illinois girls will do it better this fall semester!
Thank you so much to all of our sponsors and the Her Campus National team for sending this kit our way! You can see pictures of everything we got on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and by searching the hashtag #HCSurvivalKits.
