This semester at Her Campus Iowa, we’re glammed up and on the go! Things are super busy, but we’re keeping it together and looking good while doing it. What’s the secret behind our success? Take a look at what we got in our Back-to-School Survival Kits from Her Campus this semester; the secret’s in the box…
The Roommate Book & Adulthood is a Myth from Andrews McMeel Publishing
The Roommate Book offers a not-serious guide to living with anyone, whether it’s a friend or total stranger. Becky Simpson tackles roomie topics like “Should I eat this without asking?” and “Creating Nicknames” and “A Case for Blanket Forts.”
Adulting is hard—navigating the murky waters of dating and relationships, hair and makeup, jobs, friendship, body image, introversion, laundry—how are we supposed to cope with it all? With Adulthood is a Myth for comic relief! Sarah Andersen’s frankness on personal issues like body image, self-consciousness, introversion, relationships and the frequency of bra-washing makes her comics highly relatable and deeply hilarious.
CamelBak Forge Divide Mug
You may have a CamelBak water bottle—and you probably love it—but did you know CamelBak also makes mugs? We absolutely love our CamelBak Forge Divide Mugs! Those of us who attended Her Conference in July got our own mugs and have used them almost every day since. The 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. The leak-proof cap means you can confidently toss the Forge Divide into your bag without soaking your stuff. If you’re sipping more frequently, just press the lockout button to keep the cap open.
And CamelBak wants us to #DitchDisposable. Put down the paper coffee cup. Join the movement, and do your part to reduce the amount of unnecessary waste going to landfills.
The DivaCup
The jury is still out on The DivaCup. Those who have tried it usually love it. However, some of us just can’t wrap our heads around the idea of a menstrual cup. But for Her Campus, we’re willing to give anything a try!
The DivaCup is a reusable, bell-shaped menstrual cup that is worn internally, collecting rather than absorbing menstrual flow and offering women more convenience, confidence and flexibility. Easy-to-use and comfortable, The DivaCup provides up to 12 hours of leak-free protection all-day and overnight, making it a perfect choice for any activity. The DivaCup provides women with a better period experience while eliminating the need to buy and carry menstrual products in endless absorbencies, styles and shapes. Visit their official website or watch their YouTube videos for some great tips and tricks on how to use The DivaCup!

I ♥ JUICY COUTURE Fragrance
You’re probably think, “Juicy? As in Juicy Couture? As in the track suits everyone wore in the 2000s?” Yes, that Juicy! And in case you haven’t heard, #TrackIsBack. But we’re talking about Juicy Couture’s new I ♥ JUICY COUTURE fragrance. What does it smell like? Let’s just say it smells amazing.
Bold. Sensual. Intriguing. The new scent from Juicy Couture is for the glamorous rebel who declares her passion for life and all things Juicy. With notes of sparkling mandarin, jasmine and addictive patchouli, this fragrance is a must-have.
Rimmel London
Rimmel offers innovative must-have products that uniquely deliver the eclectic beauty looks and lifestyle of today’s London. Rimmel believes in fashion without rules and values every individual interpretation of beauty. Rimmel delivers wearable and on trend looks at a superior value.
We love their 24HR Supercurler Mascara, Colour Precise Eyeliner and The Only 1 Lipstick. The mascara is volume and lash curling power in one—that’s right, no more lash curler needed! You’ll get up to 24 hours of curl and hold and instant 90 degree curve. With the eyeliner, you get bold colour, precise application and all day wear. The liner is highly pigmented, long-lasting and quick-drying. And you can change up your color! Reach for black, blue or white. And the lipstick provides color, comfort, moisture and wear. It’s available in 12 shades.
