Your Best Spring Break Ever Featuring Our Spring Break Survival Kit

Have you looked at the calendar recently? Spring Break is two weeks away! Luckily, our wonderful friends at HC Nationals and our fantastic sponsors sent us a ton of goodies to make sure we have an amazing break. And whether you’re staying in Bloom, heading home for the week or traveling some place amazing, we’ll make sure you have your best spring break ever!

Okay, first things first. If you’re traveling somewhere with your friends, safety is a huge issue. Our friends at SABRE want to make sure you have a fun and safe vacation, so they sent along some Campus Saftey Pepper Gel. It has a 12-foot range and a concentrated formula with no airborne particles, making it safe to use indoors and it won’t have any affect on bystanders. Seriously, this is a biggie if you’re celebrating your break away from home. While having fun on your spring here, here are SABRE’s top three spring break safety tips: Party safely. Watch your drink at all times and don’t ever take anything from strangers. Make sure you are with people you trust. Remember that there truly is strength in numbers. Never a leave a friend on their own and keep an eye out for your friends. Always make sure you have emergency cash on-hand and a charged cellphone. You never know when you might need it. Especially if you are traveling internationally or in an unfamiliar place, it is always a good idea to have a business card with your hotel’s address and phone number on.

We’re in the middle of a deep freeze in Bloomsburg so your upcoming beach trip may be alarming if you haven’t bothered shaving a while. Thank Completely Bare for basically saving our lives on this one. They’ve sent us samples of their Beauty To Go Wax Packs so we can make sure we’re feeling beach-ready without stressing out about getting the perfect shave. Completely Bare’s products are safe, easy-to-use and will make sure you can primp for Spring Break with “No Heat, No Fuss, and No Mess.” You’re definitely going to want to keep an eye out for these during our giveaways! 

And speaking of being beach-ready… do you have your spring break reading material yet? We’re not talking about your dreadful assigned reading for class but something fun that will totally make your relaxation time even better! We have copies of “Dirty Rush” by Taylor Bell and you’re definitely going to want to check it out! “Dirty Rush” is what happens when you take the creative minds behind Babe Walker (author of the New York Times bestselling White Girl Problems series) and add Rebecca Martinson to the mix. Rebecca Martinson—yes, that b*tch—the former Delta Gamma sister responsible for the scathing, expletive-filled email that verbally assaulted her entire chapter. Get that towel out and get ready for one engaging beach read!

You don’t have to travel anywhere exotic to have a great break! If you’re staying at home or in Bloom, this is the perfect opportunity to regroup from the first half of the semester and get back on track. You can even add a little pampering in there to reward yourself for surviving the last seven weeks in one piece. That’s why our favorite haircare line Not Your Mother’s The Clean Freak Purifying shampoo and conditioner are essential to your spring break! We’ve all heard the rumors about how shampoos are stripping your hair of its natural oils but this shampoo and conditioner are actually healthy for your hair! They are sulfate, paraben and dye free and made for all hair types.  Both are eco-friendly and infused with mint and raspberry extracts (so you can smell as good as you look!) You and your hair will be so ready for spring break and singing kumbaya as soon as you step out of the shower. 

These seven or so days off are also a great time to make sure you’re eating properly. It can be so easy to grab poptarts or a donut on your way out the door — because you’re late for class, again! — but LUNA wants to make sure you have healthier options for on-the-go snacking! So they’ve provided us with delicious samples of their newly gluten-free (yes, you read that right!) LUNA minis and we can’t wait to share them with you!

While you’re hanging out at home or staying in Bloomsburg, you have the perfect opportunity to get ahead on your internship or job search! Take some time to give your resume a makeover and send out some emails to companies you’d like to work with. Then reward yourself with a lunch break at Chipotle. We’ve got BOGO vouchers to give out so you can bring a friend along, too! We don’t care what anyone says, no one does it better than Chipotle. If you’re still looking for some inspiration, pick up a copy of “The Intern’s Handbook” by Shane Kuhn. At the ripe old age of almost twenty-five, John Lago is already New York City’s most successful hit man. He’s also an intern at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, clocking eighty hours a week getting coffee, answering phones, and doing all the grunt work actual employees are too lazy to do. But his worlds collide when he’s asked to assassinate one of his bosses. Oh, did we mention the book is being made into a movie starring Dave Franco? You’re welcome.

Our lovely friends at HC Nationals also made sure to include some HC swag in our Survival Kits and we’re loving the stickers, pens and sunglasses!

With two weeks until Spring Break, we want to make sure you have your best Spring Break ever! So make sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest because we’re going to be hosting some major giveaways to share our goodies with all our lovely readers!
