Black Friday Beauty Deals That Will Help You Survive Finals

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

Now that you’re well into your Thanksgiving food coma and probably looking for something to do while your relatives watch the Giants/Redskins game (or while you have a free commercial break), here’s a quick rundown of some things to look out for tomorrow (and in some cases tonight!!) that will help you stay sane once you get back to campus.

Finals will be soon upon us (gross, I know), and that means stress and endless nights studying/writing papers in GelHell, as I affectionately call it. But that is no excuse to sacrifice self-care; in fact, this is the time your body needs it the most. So while you’re out playing Secret Santa tomorrow, throw a few things in your cart (real or virtual) that will keep you glowing like the National Tree.
