With Spring Break right around the corner, millions of eager party-going college students nationwide are starting to make their final plans for the weeklong getaway. However, times have changed, and this isn’t your grandfather’s Spring Break! So leave the Tommy Bahama shirt and SPF 100 behind, and let upgrade your gear with their “Spring Break Essentials Backpack.”
From the best ways to stay hydrated after a long night of partying to the top supplements for a healthy vacation; check out our round-up of the hottest must-have products for this year’s Spring Break. It will have any guy hooked-up and hooking up in no time.
HINT Water – Keeping hydrated after a long night out is one of the first steps in recovering from that dreaded hangover. This zero calorie, unsweetened water is the drink of chose for anyone that wants to shake off the rust from the night before without adding those extra calories. HINT is available in 10 flavors. Retails at $44.00 for a case of 24, 16 oz. Bottles.
SURGEX - Want to take your beach volleyball skills to the next level? If so, SURGEX is perfect for you. Implementing a unique three-phrase approach that is proven to help individuals prepare their bodies for intense physical activity, SURGEX helps users perform at peak levels and recover with less soreness and fatigue. SURGEX is available in four unique flavors: “Vanilla Storm”, “Chocolate Charge”, “Banana Berry Blast”, and “Tropical Crush.” Retails at $79.95.
Quikee – No, not that kind of quikee -Supersmile’s on-the-go breath freshener and teeth whitener is sure to help you score this spring break as you lure in the ladies with your bright and refreshing smile. The Supersmile quikee is a no brush/no rinse tooth polish that is small enough to fit in your back pocket and is essential for a day at the beach or a night on the town. Retails at $16 for a .35 oz bottle.
Private Stock Backpack – You’ll only need a few beach essentials for your trip, so pack light and travel in style with Private Stock’s Cross Harbour Bag. With several pouches on the outside and inside there’s plenty of room for your sunscreen and music collection, as well as a pouch on the side for that HINT water. The Cross Harbour Bag is available in black and bright red. Retails at $98.00.
