This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SBU chapter.
There is much required to creating the perfect summer survival pack, the few things you need with you at all times! Shoutout to Her Campus for helping us out, along with their great sponsors to get us ahead of the game for when we all head home and hopefully to some great time in the sun!
The most recent kit had some great goodies that have been tried and even recommended by this Bonaventure member. The best part about these kits is that they are always a little different and bring you things you’d been considering items you have wanted to try, as well as ones you have never heard of!
- One of the fan favorites, in any kind and any way, is always Vera Bradley. In this haul we got everything from towels to wallets, and every college girl’s most-used item: the small ID holder. All items are perfect for summer as the colors are always summery and bright! I love using mine to hold my school ID, some cash and my license, and of course my frequent buys card to frozen yogurt place up the street. (Also so compact that it fits in any night-out purse!)
- Four super cute and cool purple Camelbak bottles came in our haul also. These fit perfectly for summer as they keep your drinks cold (whatever you choose your drink to be) and don’t leak if you throw them in your bag on the go. This Her Campus girl is thinking perhaps using it while running to the gym or heading on a road trip to soak up some sun on the beach with friends!
- For anyone planning lots of beach days, just like I am, nice soft legs are always a great feeling, especially while lying on a beach in the sun. Pure Silk shaving cream can be a major life saver. Also since these are travel size many members in our group who are traveling abroad this summer mentioned that they are perfect for any short vacation too!
- Although we are still figuring out the Brappz situation, they seem like a pretty fun feature for a bra for those who want to spice theirs up!
- This writer’s favorite find was the Monthly Gift packs of tampons and pads. Not only do they help out a very broke college student, because that’s another cost saved, but they are also great to use. They hold well and don’t leak. Also the greatest surprise in the big boxes is a little pack of emergency chocolate, which I ate real fast as it definitively an emergency!
