#Slaying this Semester with the Back to School Survival Kit

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

It’s HC’s favorite time of the year, survival kits! We’re pretty sure it’s better than Christmas and birthdays combined as we patiently wait for the bock full of goodies to arrive. When the knock finally arrives at the door and we rush to explore what’s inside. Like always, we are overwhelmed with the new products we get to try out and share with you. And this smester’s box is no different.Nothing get’s you back into study mode like a brand new planner. Erin Condren has our back with her beautifully designed LifePlanner in her signature artwork. The horizontal layout and touches of metallic making staying on top of things a piece of cake. 

It can be hard to stay hydrated throughout the day. But Spindrift has us covered with their sparking water and fruit juice, keeping us hydrated and refreshed throughout the day. 

We are crazy for the latest accessories from Aeropostale. Their latest collections offer simple, yet trendy pieces which are perfect for those busy days you can’t worry about going full glam. They’ve also revamped their denim section, utilizes new stretch materials in a variety of styles. 

If you haven’t heard of Steripod, you are definitely missing out. This butterfly clip looking thing-a-ma-bob is your new best friend. The toothbrush protector is a must have when you live in the doors and is great for traveling too.

Now the season’s have changed, so will our skin. The harsh Wisconsin weather can do a lot of damage and leave us feeling dry. Freeman Beauty now offers Feeling Beautiful face mask in Rejuvenating Cucumber + Pink Salt Clay Mask, Manuka Honey + Tea Tree Oil Clay Mask + Cleanser,  and our personal favorite, the Detoxifying Charcoal + Black Sugar Mud Mask. You can also skip the tanning booth for L’Oreal Paris’ Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Towelettes to keep your summer glow. 

We’re also sure we found the dry shampoo to beat all shampoos with Bed Head’s Dirty Secret dry shampoo. Just a quick spray of this and you can ditch the early morning shower for and extra 15 minutes in bed. 

Don’t forget to bring Hi-Chews to your next study date. Since they are made from real fruit juice, they are make for “guilt free” treat while hitting the books.

Her Campus would love to thank our sponsors and give them a shout out for making this the semester to beat!
