Spring Break Hacks for the Hardworking Collegiette

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

Months have gone by with you snuggled up in sweaters, layered socks and drinking countless cups of hot coffee, but guess what?! Spring is now here–well sorta…LOL. 

Throw aside your cardigans and grab your bikinis, Collegiettes because spring break is just around the corner! For those of you who are going to some fantastic, hot and tropical getaway you must be prepared to take the heat, sand, frizz and more! Here are 5 hacks to make your week of no-school a week of paradise.

 

1. Forgot your aloe vera? Use yogurt.

Place cold yogurt on your sunburns for about 10 minutes to relieve your sunburned skin.

2. Use Tic-Tac containers for small items

Store your studs, rings and hair necessities in Tic-Tac containers for quick convenience.

3. Coconut oil is great for the hair and skin

Mix coconut oil, lavender oil and water in a spray bottle to keep your hair from frizzing while damp. Coconut oil is also a natural sunscreen and will give you an all natural goddess glow.

4. Hide your valuables in sunscreen bottles

Forget the old hack of hiding valuables in your shoe–that’s the first thing people dump out. Clean out an empty sunscreen bottle and place your keys, ID and any other valuables that will fit into the bottle.

5. Save old parking tickets

Parking can be a pain when you are traveling. So, save old parking tickets and place it on your window so you won’t get another one. That is–if you’re risky enough!

Happy spring break, Collegiettes! Have fun and be safe!
