Here at Her Campus Gonzaga, we think it’s incredibly important to stay motivated and power through this week as midterms continue. If you feel like you need a pick me up to get through all of the stress these tests bring, look no further than our 4 essentials to surviving midterms.
CamelBak Forge Divide Mug
The first essential to not only surviving, but thriving through midterm week is COFFEE. Whether it’s your own brew, stealing the coffee from the COG, or standing in the Starbucks line, this new insulated mug is the perfect way to carry your Cup of Joe around. CamelBak has thought of everything as this mug won’t spill when you throw it in your bag! The leak-proof cap seals shut to protect your computer and notebooks. The Forge Divide is also great for on the go drinking, as you can open the drinking valve with the press of a button, requiring only ONE hand! So if you need all the time you can get studying, grab the Forge Divide and hustle to class in time to write that essay. Your coffee or tea will be right there, caffeinating you on.
Rimmel London Makeup
The next essential you need to keep going this week: the perfect makeup routine to make you feel good before slaying that midterm.
Rimmel London provides easy to use makeup, that lasts all day long. Slide on the Colour Precise Eyeliner in a bold color and create the perfect cat eye. Next add the 24HR Supercurler Mascara, a mascara that curls your eyelashes as you apply. What a time saver! Finish your look with the Only 1 Lipstick, which comes in 12 different shades, depending on your mood. This lipstick will moisturize as you wear it, giving you that extra oomph you need to finish the day. When you use Rimmel London products, you not only look good, but you feel good, which is very important during midterms week. Plus, it won’t take you long to get ready in the morning!
DivaCup
A third essential to staying on top of those midterms is the DivaCup. Getting your period during midterms is the worst, but don’t worry! The DivaCup is here to make your life easier! It’s a reusable, bell-shaped menstrual cup that collects rather than absorbs like a tampon. The DivaCup provides convenience and flexibility that a tampon can’t give you. After you try the DivaCup, you won’t spend any more money on tampons again! So instead of being worried about bleeding through during a big essay, use DivaCup and have the confidence of 12 hours of leak-proof protection. Now you can kill your midterms, even though you’re on your period.
Freeman Beauty Face Masks
The final essential to slaying midterms is a Freeman Beauty facial mask. On Friday night, after you have finished all of your hardest midterms, relax with one of Freeman Beauty’s newest line of facials. Whether you love avocado, cucumber, charcoal, or apple cider vinegar, there’s a mask for all of your relaxing and pore-cleansing needs. I have loved spending my Fridays sitting on my couch, watching a movie with my friends as we give ourselves facials. This new routine has completely changed my life, as I brush off the stress of the week and finally begin to let go as the weekend begins. You won’t regret trying a new face mask, and it might even become your new go to beauty essential.
Midterms are stressful, hard work, and cause us to lose more sleep than we’d like to admit. If you want to survive the next few weeks, try these products and routines. I promise you won’t even know how you survived without them before. Happy studying Zags!
