Listen my children, and you shall hear,
Of the parcel delivered to HerCampus Harvard,
On the Nineteenth of December, in ’sixteen,
Hardly a girl could boast to have seen
What happened that night on that day and year.
She said to her friends, “If the packages arrive
By land or air from the town tonight,
Text me a number, no need to describe–
I will know when the time is right,–
One if by land, and two if by air,
And click your heels, and I will be there,
Ready to ride and spread all the goods,
To every building: concrete or wood,
For the HerCampus girls to get what they should.
Thanks you Henry Wadsworth Longfellow for letting me butcher your poem, and I don’t think I can do anymore, so let’s just delve right into the good stuff.
The Survival Kits are here! The Survival Kits are here! (Sorry, I’m still in Revolutionary War mode.) But it’s true! The Survival Kits are here.
To answer your questions, yes, I did tape all the goods up on the wall. (Except for a couple that just would not stick). So the theme here is mostly self care, which is important both during and after finals period. And…wait…is that my organic chemistry practice exam?
That…calls for a new picture.
Phew! Now that that’s gone…Let us begin. We have…(drum roll please)…Leaders Cosmetics 7 Wonders Face Masks (top center)!
Three little face masks, lined up in a queue,
One got used up and there there were two.
Two little face masks, sitting on a shelf,
One got used up and left a lonely self.
One little face mask, having a little fun,
It got used up and then there were none.
Which is sad, because these masks feel great when being used, and contain revitalizing Coconut gel that contains lots of vitamins and antioxidants. There is the Amazonian Acai Anti-Pollution, which purifies and neutralizes the effect of pollution on skin. It leaves your skin feeling clearer, lighter, and much, much happier. There is the Carribean Coconut Calming Mask, which soothes and calms irritated skin; its vitamin richness activates skin soothing and smoothing properties. LAstly, the Kalahari Melon Moisturizing Mask–apparently, the Kalahari Melon is the ancestor of the watermelon, and its oils has essential fatty acids (all unsaturated, my biology friends), and helps your skin lock in moisture for its best refreshed look.
These three masks are great to put on while you’re reading a (text)book or watching an episode of Friends.
I’m getting hypnotized by that GIF…aren’t you?
Self care is about taking care of yourself, and unleashing all of your inner potential. That could mean taking a looooooooooong bath, putting on those face masks, doing pilates, or drinking Yogi herbal tea. (Bottom right corner)
It contains two tea bags (Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy, and Green Tea Blueberry Slim Life), and a $1-Off coupon for when you feel like getting more tea. Inspired by the holistic teachings of Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine and Western herbalism, the Yogi collection combines over 100 exotic spices and botanicals to create 60 varieties of green, herbal and black teas. All Yogi teas are rich in both flavor and healthful purpose – support your energy levels and active lifestyle with two deliciously fruity and floral teas: Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy and Green Tea Blueberry Slim Life.
So sit down, put on a face mask, enjoy some soothing tea, and sink into that new book of yours.
