Your Best Summer Yet!

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

Summer… the best time of the year where academic responsibilites are finally gone, the sun is shining, and we have the opportunity to take advantage of a great 3 months off from college. Thanks to our Her Campus Summer Survival Kit, we are ready to tackle the warm summer months that are coming up! Here’s how to make the best of your summer vacation as told by our #HCSurvivalKit:

The summer months calls for bathing suits and fun in the sun. There’s no time to worry about your annoying “monthly visitor” during your relaxing summer! Cue “Monthly Gift” a femme care subscription-based service powered by technology and empowering women to take control of their health. Monthly Gift’s app monitors ovulation and menstrual cycle patterns, while the subscription delivers a discreet, Little Black Box of customized tampons, pads and liners to you just before your period arrives. Love it!

Summer also beckons smoother and hairless legs for our days in the sun. We are so thankful that Pure Silk provided us tons of their moisturizing shaving cream and coupons! Their formula leaves your legs softer and smoother than soap & water as it protects against nicks and cuts. Thanks, Pure Silk for saving our legs this summer!

With the summer months, all our college friends often scatter across the country for the next three months as they pursue internships, jobs, or just enjoying summer at home. Luckily we now know about Spots, a social application that enables college students to travel on a budget or simply make new friends in town! It’s simple really; you can find other students who are offering their living space at an affordable price or post your own place and get the connections going! Thanks, Spots for the stickers, bags, postcards, and flyers!

For those with internships and jobs this summer who need their morning coffee, Camelbak has hooked us up! Their Forge® Divide Travel Mug is an all-terrain mug that makes it easy to drink coffee or tea one-handed, with a drinking valve that opens with the press of a button, and then seals shut to prevent leaks or spills. We love how easy the mug is to clean, use, and to make sure your liquid stays in the mug and not in your purse! Camelbak’s #DitchDisposable campaign is an effort we can all get behind!

We also love the Brappz Straps that were sent to us as we prepare for the warmer month with our tank top collection! Born & designed in Switzerland, Brappz is your personalized multi-use accessory for any and every occasion with limitless uses! You can use them as bra straps, jewelry, shoelaces, hair accessories, fan paraphernalia and more. Thanks, Brappz– we cannot wait to try!

And finally, would it be a summer without some Vera Bradley accessories?! Thank you to Vera Bradley for sending us the Beach Towel, Campus Double ID, Twice as Nice Keychain, & Accordion Wallet that we can’t wait to use this summer! We loved being able to giveaway some of these products to our great readers and to keep some ourselves as we prep for the summer months! 

Big thank you to our awesome sponsors and Her Campus National for our great Summer Survival Kit! We feel ready to take advantage of every opportunity this summer thanks to our new swag!
