Thanksgiving break is less than a month away and we know you can’t contain your excitement to see your family, or if you’re like me you’re more excited about the food, because let’s be honest you can see your family at any point in the year but those pumping pies won’t be there all year long, right? But in this article, it doesn’t matter which one of these two you’re most excited about because either way you have to travel and pack (ugggh) and we want to share how some of the essentials you need for this break.
1. Freeman Beauty Facemasks/ Cleanser
Freeman Beauty products not only smell great; they also leave your skin looking a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Their facemasks and all of their products are made with natural ingredients such as cucumber, pink salt, honey, tea tree oil, black sugar, charcoal, etc. Their products are not only made with botanic ingredients they are also super effective and we know that a face mask can be the best way to relax so make sure to pack these!
2. Aeropostale Jeans and Accessories
Thanksgiving is the time where all your family gathers to have a fun, relaxing totally mess and argument free dinner and you want to look your absolute best, that’s why you should put some of the most trendy and comfortable jeans ever created, the aero jeans! And you cans just wear jeans and a cute shirt you also need accessories, such as rings, chockers, earrings and a cute headband to complete a killer look!
Not only do you need to dress cute you also need to fix up your hair and we know just the perfect hair products that will help you achieve an amazing hair-do! The Bed Head Masterpiece Shine Spray or the Hard Head Hairspray will give you serious hold, it will add body to your hair and resists humidity while guarding against dryness. And if you feel lazy the next day because you stayed up late during that black Friday shopping you can use the Bed Head by TIGI Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo or the Oh Bee Hive! which will make you hair smell fresh and absorb all the oil. Also, keep in mind that less frequent shampooing saves hair from heat styling damage and color loss.
You can’t have a fancy dinner without some fancy drinks, right?? Plus, you also need to stay hydrated during that long trip you have to make to go back to your family. Sprindrift products are unsweetened because the only thing sweet in it is the real fruit, yeah that’s it, just fruit! It’s what I like to call drinkable fruit in a can. Spindrift comes in 7 different flavors: Lemon, Cucumber, Grapefruit, Orange Mango, Raspberry Lime, Strawberry, Blackberry. You can buy them at Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joes or their online store!
5. Erin Condren Hardbound LifePlanner
So right after thanksgiving break we only have like two more weeks of school including finals and if you my friend are like me then we both know that you need to write everything down otherwise you’ll completely forget about what to do. But luckily for you Erin Condren has the cutest and super convenient planner that will help you get your life organized and in track during this week long break!
You’re back home and you find all your little cousins asking “what did you bring me?” even before they say hello, that’s why you need to bring home some Hi-Chew! Hi-Chews are soft chewy Japanese candy that are made from nothing else than real fruit, they are tasty, fun to chew and healthy, what else can you ask from a candy? Hi-Chew comes in the following flavors: Grape, Cherry, Banana, Strawberry, Mango, Green Apple, and Kiwi. They also offer sours in Lemon, Lime and Grapefruit. You can find Hi-Chews at 7-Eleven, Albertsons, Ralphs, Walmart, Target, Costco, etc. Make sure to keep out an eye for them because they are absolutely amazing!
7. L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Towelettes & ProPerfect Salon Airbrush Mist
Just because it’s winter that doesn’t mean that you can’t get a sublime tan! The Self-Tanning Towlettes are super convenient and easy to carry and you can fit them in you suitcase, backpack and even your purse. And the ProPerfect Salon Airbrush Mist you can have a professional tanning session at home, no need to make an appointment and wait for hours!

8. Steripod
You cant make a trip without your toothbrush right? And you absolutely don’t want to just throw your toothbrush into your backpack, with no protection from the germs and dirt! That’s why you should try Steripod! Steripod uses thymol, which can be found in many mouthwashes and oral antiseptics, to release active vapors, creating a safe environment to store your toothbrush between uses. You can find Steripods at Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Walmart and, online at Amazon as well as the steripod online store. And since Steripod knows how busy we are and how we tend to forget things they also send you a text every three month to remind you to change it so you can keep your toothbrush safe!
If you have all of these 8 products for your thanksgiving breaks you will have some relaxing time! Make sure to give a try to all of these products because they are absolutely life changing.
