After what was sure to be a challenging first half of the spring semester for most of us, spring break could not have come soon enough. To help us relax during our week off from classes, the Her Campus Headquarters sent a “Her Campus Spring Break Survival Kit” to each of the college chapters.

1.TRESemmé 7 Day Keratin Smooth System

The 7 Day Keratin Smooth System aims to “help lock out frizz for 7 days, giving you gorgeous, salon-smooth hair that lasts through washes.” And believe it or not, it actually works! I have used other keratin smoothing products in the past, but I was surprised to find that this one left my hair feeling extra silky-smooth. I also noticed that even after going on a run around campus, my hair was not frizzy at all! Katelyn Brown, ULTA employee, says, “It made my hair seriously so, so, so soft, and I felt like it actually did what it was supposed to do unlike some other products!”Â
2.Biotera Ultra Color Care Conditioner This conditioner aims to “keep hair color bright and vibrant 50% longer.“ Because I don’t have color-treated hair, I did not get a chance to try out this specific product; however, I use Biotera Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner on a daily basis. My mom, on the other hand, uses the Ultra Color Care Conditioner every day and says, “It keeps the color vibrant in my hair, and it doesn’t dull as quickly. The color lasts longer in between color treatments.”
3.Complimentary waxing from European Wax Center
I’ve honestly never heard of European Wax Center before, but after visiting their website, I found this: “At European Wax Center, we’ve given waxing a much-needed makeover. You see, we believe feeling gorgeous and looking fab isn’t just for the privileged. It’s for everyone who wants to flaunt the smoothest skin, whenever they want. That’s why we stand by our words when we say, Waxing For All.” There are several European Wax Center locations, mostly near Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, but I guarantee when I go to either of these places, I will be taking advantage of this free offer!
4.20% off plus free lettering from Yokini Swimwear
Yokini Swimwear has been featured on Oprah.com “Summer Essential Must Haves.” With the Her Campus discount, they are offering 20% plus free lettering to flaunt your Juniata spirit on your suit. Jenn P., a yoga instructor wrote a review for the swimwear stating, “Yokini swimwear brings the coveted yoga pant fold-over feature to the bikini. Now the same bottom can be worn in a variety of ways, from full coverage to a more scantily clad tan line-friendly look.”
5.Free burrito and Free chips & guacamole from Chipotle Mexican Grill
  With the Spring Break Survival Kit, we were given one card for a free burrito and another card for free chips with guacamole. On the Chipotle website it says, “Now we want to know the sources for all of our ingredients, so that we can be sure they are as flavorful as possible while we are mindful of the environmental and societal impact of our business. We call this idea, Food With Integrity, and it guides how we run our business.” So not only is the food fantastic, but you can be sure to know where your food is coming from!
6.Neuro SLEEP drink
Wow, talk about a product that works… Although I’ve never had any trouble falling asleep, I thought this might be a cool drink to test out. About 15 minutes before getting ready for bed, I drank the entire bottle of this stuff. Usually before falling asleep, I scroll through my Facebook newsfeed until I become too tired to function. Well, I wasn’t lying in bed more than 3 minutes before I found my eyelids struggling to stay open and my breathing extremely relaxed. According to their website, “Neuro SLEEP® is the tastiest way to a good night’s sleep with restful nutrients like melatonin and magnesium specially formulated to help you say good night to your inner night owl and say good morning to, well, everyone you see (in a full belly yodel).”
