Stay Prepped for Spring Break!

While my spring break is coming to a close, it is just getting started almost everywhere else, and that means fun in the sun! That also means packing and making sure you have everything you need for a memorable (and fun) spring break.

#HCSurvivalKits

I recently got my HerCampus Spring Break Survival Kit to have for my Spring Break and even beyond that! I was so excited to get right on with using all of these items for myself (and to share with friends, of course!)

What I Got:

• Biotera Ultra Color Care Conditioner - I personally have never dyed my hair, but almost everyone around me has, so they say that this conditioner is great for protecting colored hair. The box full of these samples I received was perfect for my roommate and next-door neighbors (who all dye their hair).
• Tresemme Keratin Smooth 7 Day Trial - I got a few boxes (shown in red box) of these week-long samples to use and I took them on my choir tour this week! They are said to protect your hair against heat and make it stronger and healthier. I can definitely vouch for the smoother hair--plus, it doesn't make my hair greasy like many other shampoos and conditioners do!
• Neuro Sleep - This is supposed to help you fall asleep better! This also came with a cute pair of eye covers to help you do just that! 
• HerCampus Koozies - I got two in blue and pink; now I'll always have something to keep my drinks warm or cold when necessary! 
• HerCampus Sunglasses - No explanation necessary. It's spring break!
• HerCampus Bumper Sticker - It's simple, it's cute, and it's a sticker. What more do you need?
• HerCampus Cup - Of course, adding a cup to rep HerCampus isn't such a bad thing [;
• European Wax Center Free Coupon - FREE. This allows for a free bikini, brow, and underarm waxing at any of European Wax Center's locations nationwide!
• Yokini - They are known for their slimming bikinis and thanks to HerCampus, they're offering 20% off the swimsuit of choice and tossing in free lettering too if you want to customize your bikini!
• Chipotle Cards - These were hands down, my favorite. Chipotle is a staple in any college diet and these coupon cards allowed me for a free meal at chipotle and free chips and guacamole! I got myself a bowl thanks to these cards. 

Free + Chipotle = amazing

So that was how HerCampus prepared me for this spring break! Which of these items would you be most excited for? 

Back to School with Office Depot!

A new semester means back to school shopping!

Whether you buy pens or replenish your collection of school supplies, it's always fun to go back to school shopping! I love shopping for school supplies, and I love going to Office Depot to do the job. It has everything that I need in one place!

One of my goals for the new semester and new year is to become and stay as organized as possible. I want to make sure that I'm prepared for anything this semester!

Darell, my boyfriend, also tagged along to go back to school shopping himself. He's trying to stay on top of his school work this semester too. He really wanted to capture me during our shopping experience, haha.

What's in My Back to School Survival Kit

A couple weeks ago, I received a package in the mail, courtesy of Her Campus. In it was my very own Back to School Survival Kit! I thought it was pretty cool to receive a package full of cool, free stuff just because! I always love getting things in the mail, so if you'd like to show me some love, let me know [;

Anyway, back to the Survival Kit:

My box full of goodies!

When I opened my box, I was surprised to find all of the goodies I found in it--there were things from Her Campus, Neuro, Luna, Poppin', Chipotle, and a box of SK Energy Shots that came in the day after this package!

My collection of Poppin' notebooks before giving them out to some friends!

These really cool purple gel pens, also from Poppin'!

Two of the really awesome things I got in this care package were a surplus of Poppin' gel pens and mini notebooks, both in purple! I really love school supplies so getting these were like having an early Christmas for me. They have all sorts of school and office supplies that are simple but stand out because of all the bright and fun colors they come in! My personal favorite are the orange supplies, of course. You can get $5 off your next order with the code: DORMSTYLE. What are you waiting for? Go check them out and get some Poppin' stuff. (Get it? haha). When you do get your new Poppin' supplies, post them on Instagram with the hashtag #dormstyle for the chance to win a dorm makeover as well! 

I also got some things from Her Campus; they were the ones who sent out these packages, and I am also part of the Her Campus Blogger Network, also through them. 

I received some cool HC stuff, like this HerCampus.com sticker (sorry that it's backwards), the "Have Fun, Stay Young" gym bag, all the Her Campus pens (I have an obsession with pens), and the Her Campus clipboard!

Another great treat--a buy one, get one free coupon from Chipotle! Chipotle is so popular and almost a staple to any college student's diet. They have great-tasting food that fills you up really well. I am so excited to use this! 

Another cool product that I received with my package--Neuro SONIC! This specific wild berry flavor is said to help boost mental performance, something necessary for every college student, especially at this time during midterms and preps for finals. There are other colors depending on your needs, but Neuro SONIC is meant to increase alertness, sustain energy, and support mental performance, everything you need when you're studying! 

Luna bars were another treat that I got from the package that are really good for healthy snacking! They're meant to help get things done and give you the energy you need in a healthy way. Luna is there to help you get from class to class each day.

The last and final gift from my survival kit were the box full of SK Energy Shots! These are another thing you can turn to when you need a boost of energy to get through the day (or night)!

I am so thankful to have gotten all of this cool stuff for free, thanks to all these brands and Her Campus for putting it all together. I've already shared and enjoyed these with my friends, you guys should definitely get some for yourselves! Everyone needs something to help them get through school. 

What's in your school survival kit?
