Spring Break Survival Kit: We Love HC!

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

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

Chatham University doesn’t have sororities, but we’ve certainly got a big sister in Her Campus! The ladies of HC sent Chatham team members a Spring Break Survival Kit: the ultimate collection of products destined to make any mid-semester getaway or summer vacation glamorous. Even after our amazing week off, these gorgeous gifts are just what we need to get through March, April and May.

HC knows us well: we opened the box to find two Chipotle cards. Often the restaurant of choice for hungry Chatham collegiettes, Chipotle packs their delicious dishes with fresh ingredients and customizable combos. The cards they sent for a free burrito and free chips & guac will certainly be put to good use!

After a big meal, taking a nap is always appetizing. neuroSLEEP can help. Filled with nutrients from melatonin to magnesium, the drink is formulated to prompt a good night. At only 35 calories and with no artificial colors or flavors, neuroSLEEP is a health-conscious way to normalize your sleep patterns. It’s non-habit forming, too! You can score a free bottle by visiting SLEEPwithneuro.com. Even Neil Patrick Harris is a fan!

After a cozy evening under the covers, bedhead can be the worst. Enter the TRESemmé 7 Day Keratin Smooth System! Want to try it? After washing with the shampoo and conditioner, apply the 7 Day Keratin Smooth Heat Activated Treatment. Blow your hair dry, then activate the Thermal Technology by flat-ironing hair in small sections. The de-frizzing effect lasts all week! Want to show off your sleek style? Share a #selfie on Instagram with #7DaysOfSmooth. Tag @TRESemme and @HerCampus to make sure we see the lovely results! And even though your hair will look great between washes, TRESemmé offers more hair inspiration on their YouTube channel if you’re looking to try something more adventurous.

Do you dye your hair? You’ll want to check out ZOTOS’ Biotera Ultra Color Care 5-in-1 Cleansing Conditioner. This dreamy product is designed to help with dry and damaged color-treated hair. Fix the problem without buying a shelf-full of products: the conditioner cleans, detangles and adds shine to your ‘do! Just massage through wet hair, give it a quick splash of water, let it sit for 3-5 minutes, rinse and you’re looking good! If you give ZOTOS a try, let them know what you think on their Facebook page (or tweet with #Biotera).

With the mane tamed, it’s time to deal with the hair down there. European Wax Center specializes in bikini lines, arms and legs. They were kind enough to send our chapter coupons for a FREE wax, but their prices are so affordable that collegiettes can treat themselves.

With smooth skin, we’re ready to head to the pool! Yokini Swimwear is offering a Her Campus discount: use code HC99 at checkout at yokiniswimwear.com to get 20% off. Bonus? You’ll also get FREE lettering on their spectacular swim bottoms! Whether you’re planning to spend Maymester poolside or a summer at the beach, you’ll look amazing.

Of course, no look would be complete without our perfectly pink Her Campus gear! Pick up sunglasses, t-shirts and more from the Her Campus Shop to show your HC spirit all year.

We are so grateful to Her Campus, Chipotle, European Wax Center, TRESemmé, Yokini Swimwear and ZOTOS for giving us such a wonderful surprise this spring. HCXO!
