To decorate our binders, we received stickers from She’s the First.

They have lots of chapters around college campuses, so it is worth looking into you are passionate about education! Learn more at https://www.shesthefirst.org/. We would also like to thank My Social Canvas for the stickers they sent also.

We also received information about The Clinton Foundation’s No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project to inspire us to give back. The Full Participation Project: No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project is an initiative of the Clinton Foundation that works to advance and inspire the full participation of girls and women in the 21st century. While we have seen significant progress in the last 20 years, we are not there yet when it comes to gender equality in the U.S. or around the world.

To sweeten our favorite drinks without a ton of sugar, HC sent us ZingTM Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener. ZingTM Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener is made with stevia leaf extract and pure cane sugar. You get all the sweetness of real sugar without the bitter aftertaste of sweetener. Not to mention, it makes us feel good about ourselves. Check it out at https://www.zingstevia.com/
In order to get our craft on, we received Martha Stewart Crafts glitter glue and paint. These captivating colors are going to be perfect for DIYs that we can share with our readers. You can shop Martha Stewart Crafts at Michael’s or at http://www.eksuccessbrands.com/marthastewartcrafts/
TRESemmé and NYC New York Color sent us items to help with our beauty routine. TRESemmé sent Perfectly (un)Done Sea Salt Spray & Perfectly (un)Done Wave Creation Sea Foam to help us style our hair effortlessly. The Perfectly (un)Done Sea Salt Spray has a lightweight formula to give hair a sexy, tousled texture for coveted beachy waves. The Perfectly (un)Done Wave Creation Sea Foam is infused with Sea Kelp Extract and will create soft, natural movement for effortless, bouncy waves that are full of body and never stiff or sticky.

NYC New York Color sent their line of City Proof 24HR Waterproof Eyeshadow & Eye Primer. The City Proof 24HR Waterproof Eyeshadow is a chubby, waterproof eyeshadow that delivers vibrant color for up to 24HR wear! In eleven on-trend shades perfect for any look, just twist, glide, and go! The eye primer is in a chubby stick form also, but provides extended wear for regular eyeshadow.
To keep us reading things other than textbooks, Penguin Random House sent us chapter samples of their new books We Were Liars and Every Day. We Were Liars is a modern, sophisticated suspense novel from New York Times bestselling author, National Book Award finalist, and Printz Award honoree E. Lockhart. In Every Day readers meet A, a teen who wakes up every morning in a different body, living a different life. It’s all fine until A meets Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply. Because finally A has found someone to love — day in, day out, day after day. Every Day is a New York Times bestseller by author David Levithan. Look out for both of these books in stores!
To keep our energy up we received Chipotle BOGO card and Five Hour Energy Shots. We can’t wait to put these to good use for all the all nighters we will have to endure during the rest of the semester.
Finally, to give our rooms a little color, Her Campus sent us the HCXO Exclusive Pennant. Get a matching on in the Her Campus Shop at http://www.hercampusshop.com/
