Hello my friends!
I just wanted to stop in and say hellooooooo! Hello!!! I’m in the middle of a crazy busy month, but I wanted to share something with you that makes running out the door on hectic mornings just a little easier. I hate having things scattered on the bottom of my bags, so a while back I started shoving all my odds and ends into little pouches so I could just grab them and find what I wanted. Then I started actually adding things that would be helpful and organizing my little pouch. I call them “go bags” because they have all of the essentials that I need for the day and in case of little emergencies.
I have about 4 or 5 of these, and it makes it easier for me to be ready to go. I just grab my wallet, a little go bag, and stuff them in whatever bag I’m using for the day and I can be on my way.
Without further ado… one of my little go bags! This one is a bare essentials one.
So you can see, it’s a small bag (I believe this is from a Clinique sample from a billion years ago) and it will fit in just about all my bags.
In this one I have:
- A pen
- Travel size Aleve
- Eye drops
- A sample of Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume
- Weleda Lotion
- Mickey Mouse Bandaids in assorted sizes
- Listerine Strips
- Purell
- Lip Balm
- Bobby Pins
- Hair ties
- Safety pins (not pictured)
I have a couple that include more things like: (1) a travel tooth brush and tooth paste, (2) scissors, (3) travel sewing kit, (4) antiseptic cream, (5) a spare pair of underwear, and (6) lady things like pads/tampons. During the spring, when I have hay fever I also add allergy pills and tissues. One or two of my bags also includes waterproof eyeliner and a pink lipstick, but since I rarely wear makeup these items don’t make it into most go bags.
Do any of you guys do this too? What do you keep in your purse?
Kaprise!
