Rutgers Gets Whimsically Magical

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

Looking to spruce up your room, night, and general outlook on your college days? It’s the best retro trend to make a comeback and give you a little nostalgia about your younger years… a unicorn obsession. All the possibilities are crazy adorable, and there’s something secretive about having unicorn themed anythings as “young adults”. Best of all any member of your family can gift any of these great items, so time to start sharing links with a friendly “hey aunt/uncle/grandma/grandpa… who I haven’t spoken to in a while :)”

 

1. A unicorn onesie, readily available through Amazon is super cute and perfect for onesie themed bar crawls, or snuggling with Netflix.

 

2. Ok, ok this one might be a little tough if you don’t have a bathtub, but this is perfect for when you go home… or if you’re extra creative you can have your own little magical foot bath; after all those puppies need it after running around campus.

 

3. Not into carrying a bulky or “extra” unicorn themed purse? Opt for an iridescent card holder or phone case!

 

4. Want to know where things get really fun? Your face! Your highlighter will never be as beautiful and mesmerizing as when unicorn inspired.

 

5. And what’s better around this season than hot chocolate? A California based café created the wonderful concoction that was an instant hit through Instagram, unicorn hot chocolate. I’ve searched far and wide in the NJ/NYC area for a place that makes it and no luck. But not to worry the mesmerizing treat can be easily recreated in the comfort of your own room. All you need is white chocolate, milk, vanilla extract, edible glitter, little colored marshmallows, whipped cream, and food coloring. This is a perfect treat for girls’ night or for destressing right before bed. 

 

 

6. And what about your daily coffee or tea? Drink it out of an inspirational mug or thermos unicorn themed.

7. Looking for some nature inspired and magical decoration for your place? Jump on the mini terrarium train and create your own!

 

 

8. You could opt for fuzzy unicorn slippers to lounge around.

 

 

9. If you’re more on the subtle side, this quaint necklace is perfect for you.

 

10. And if you’re comfortable showcasing your unicorn interest and enjoy the pins and patches trend, this one is perfect for you!
