Spring Break Stay-cation! Thank You, HC Survival Kit!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCLA chapter.

When you think of spring break, do you picture yourself :

A) On a warm sandy beach surrounded by crystal clear waters.

B) Dancing all night long, in a city that never sleeps.

C) Shopping at cute boutiques.

D) Lounging by the pool side.

E) Exploring an exciting city.

If you said yes to any of the options above, then you’re in luck. You can experience each and every one of these activities right here in the city of LA.! This spring break, experience a stay-cation! And thanks to the HC Spring Break Survival Kit, it’s never been easier.

 

If you want to go to the beach this spring break, why not Malibu! Miles and miles of pristine beach without the crowd of people in Santa Monica or Venice.

We’ll be looking cute thanks to Brappz. The easy to adjust straps make it a perfect accessory to wear underneath any backless sundresses.

If you want to dance the night away, consider going to the Avalon in Hollywood. Avalon features world-class DJs and live music headliners. The multi-venue complex offers a mix of EDM, hip-hop, and rock. Use Milani’s inky black eyeliner to get that fierce look. The waterproof formula means it won’t budge all night, no matter how much sweat you work up. Don’t let UTI pain keep you from partying all night either, with AZO cranberry gummies, you’ll get maximum pain relief rapidly.

If you want a “treat yo-self day” full of shopping and pampering, consider going to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. There you’ll find upscale boutiques and fancy restaurants.

Don’t forget to use Circle Pay to split the restaurant bill with you girlfriends! Circle Pay makes it as easy as taking a picture of your debit card to share and receive money, so keep that in mind while you’re shopping! (And don’t feel afraid to ask your mom for some spending money!)

If you want to tan by the poolside we recommend The Standard Hotel downtown. Situated on the rooftop, the outdoor pool boasts vibrating waterbeds and a cocktail lounge. And keep your eyes peeled for events like movie nights.

Don’t forget to treat your hair afterwards with the TRESemmé Beauty-Full Volume collection. TRESemme makes an innovating twist on the standard shampoo and conditioner routine. You use the prewash conditioner first to soften your hair and then use the shampoo, leaving your hair with volume and bounce!

If exploring is more your style, why not try to find some of the hidden gems of L.A. Find the Japanese Gardens in the San Fernando Valley, hike across the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, or better yet go to the museum at FIDM to drool over gorgeous designs. Make sure to carry a Vera Bradley Zip ID Case, to hold your money and your bus pass.

If none of these cool options in L.A. appealed to you, consider enrolling in the CEA Study Abroad Program, where you can earn school credit while traveling the world, in up to 12 different countries!

Whatever you decided to do this spring break, have fun!
