It’s offically week 7 of the semester and by now, our “back to school” energy has worn off and we’re drowning in papers, midterms and studying. Luckily, HC Nationals and our lovely sponsors sent us an amazing Back to School Survival Kit to help us cope with all the stress that comes with higher education. Check out what’s inside below and keep reading to find out where and when we’ll be sharing our goodies with you!Â
ChipotleWhile there’s no Chipotle near Bloomsburg (seriously, can you guys get on that?!), they were generous enough to send us buy-one-get-one-free burrito cards! As if we weren’t excited enough about going home, now we can catch up with our hometown friends over the perfect meal!Â
LUNAOur beginning of the semester enthusiasm has sadly worn off and we’re lucky if we can get out of bed in time to make it to class so getting breakfast is almost a laughing matter. Luckily, LUNA bars help you wake up every day and make things happen! Seriously, who doesn’t love that? And they’re the perfect way to satisfy your cravings in a nutritious way so when you’re running between class and a work meeting, you won’t have to listen to your stomach grumble.Â
AffinitasWith our busy days from running to class to the gym and then to a meeting, we’re not always able to run home for a proper change of clothes. And a night out on Main Street could quickly turn into a nightmare if you’re not prepared. But our friends at Affinitas have taken care of all those problems. The Cupcake Panty is the perfect on-the-go item, plus it’s pretty adorable! Tuck it in your gym bag for post-workout, stash at your boyfriend’s, or toss into your overnight bag for a weekend getaway.Â
Make sure you let Affinitas know where you stash your Cupcake Panty…Twitter Handle: @affinitasintimaInstagram Handle: @affinitas
ClueSo, you know when you go to the OBGYN and they always ask you “when was your last period?” and you have no idea… Clue has you covered! It’s the best way to track your cycle! Download the app for free to know when your period is coming, which 6 days you’re most likely to get pregnant and when your mood is connected to your cycle.Â
Tanda ZapUnfortunately for collegiettes, stress often means breakouts. Ugh. The Tanda Zap is a pocket-sized zit zapper that combines blue LED light with sonic vibration and gentle warming to destroy acne-causing bacteria on skin and in pores, breaking the cycle of acne to clear pimples fast. It’s basically our saviour, especially now that it’s midterms. It’s clinically proven to clear or fade your mild to moderate zits in 24 hours and is safe and effective for all skin types.
Nasty GalNasty Gal is one of a collegiette’s favorite online retailers and it’s no wonder why. The global online destination for fashion-forward, free-thinking girls is an international style source offering both new and vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories. And our friends at Nasty Gal have spoiled us rotten with custom totes made this fall just for their college audience and exclusive promotional pins!Â
European Wax CenterOkay, let’s get real here: no one wants to shave during the fall and winter. Well, thanks to EWC, you will have you flaunting the smoothest, sexiest skin, with no work on your part! We’ve got $5 off their exfoliating gel for the smoothest skin ever and we can’t wait to share the vouchers will all our readers!
AeropostaleStay hydrated with AERO’s new Sport Bottle, designed with durable, lightweight plastic construction and a built-in straw for easy sippin’, while inspiring text shines 24/7. Plus, we have a ton of $10 gift cards that work toward any in-store purchase and we’re just itching to give them away!Â
SweetgreenSweetgreen is a destination for delicious food that’s both healthy for you and aligned with your values. They source local and organic ingredients from farmers they know and partners they trust, supporting our communities and creating meaningful relationships with those around us. Sweetgreen gave us a ton of vouchers for $5 off your purchase and it includes a super delish recipe for watermelon lemonade. Yum!
GarnierOur BFFs at Garnier love to pamper us and this time is no exception. They’ve included samples of their new Blackhead Eliminating Scrub that provides a gel exfoliator with micro beads that deeply cleanse, tighten pores, and smooth skin. The formula is infused with Charcoal and Salicylic Acid to draw out blackhead causing dirt, oil and impurities. Also included in our Survival Kits is the new Nourishing Cleansing Oil which instantly dissolves impurities and long-wear makeup with no greasy residue. The formula is infused with nourishing Jojoba and Macadamia Oil to help replenish the skin’s moisture balance. It’s like a facial but way less expensive!
Okay, so by now, you’re probably wondering how you get some of these goodies…Â
The lovely team at HC Bloom has put together goodie bags filled to the top with treats from our Survival Kits. We’ll be leaving them all over campus on Wednesday, Oct. 8! Each bag contains a different asortment of goodies but every bag contain a $10 AERO gift card! Other goodies included are samples from Garnier, vouchers from Sweetgreen, European Wax Center and Clue… plus a little candy to sweeten up your day!
