Check out 3 important steps to building an ultimate handbag survival kit…
#1. Think basics first
These are the things that must be put in the bag first (especially when you switch bags), because you can’t do without them. For example, mobile phones, wallet, mints, etc. These are the basics for any solid survival kit that can carry throughout the day.
#2. Think goal for the day
Are you trying to finish a read? Will you switch your makeup after work? Or will you be attending a networking meeting and need a stash of your comp cards? You have to pack your bag with specific goals in mind. this way, everything you’ll need during the day will be at-hand, literally.
#3. Think favorites
These are affinity items you totally adore. For example, mini-workstations like iPads and notepads help us go through our day with so much ease. In addition they enable us work on the go, thus we can be more productive. You know your fave companions, let them follow you around.
Here are 10 items to keep in your handbag to make your day easier…
#1. Wallet
A practical way to organize your cash, cards, passport photographs and maybe your entire life!
#2. Mints
Because you don’t want to walk around with a breath that can fry everyone you meet. Those days do happen, no judgement sis. None at all.
#3. Pen & notepad
Of course technology is infused into our daily lives, however some of us are still stuck with pen and notepads, duh. Totally and unapologetically me.
#4. Mini makeup kit
Yes, I know you always wakeup late and it’s impossible to have your makeup done and still get to work early. Thank God for travel sized makeup products, now you can facebeat on the go.
#5. Moisturizer
If ever there was magic in a bottle, it’ll certainly be this. Whether as a spray or cream, moisturizers are the best way to rejuvenate your skin through out the day. While we’re still on skincare, packing a hand cream and sunscreen will come in handy too.
#6. Charger(s)
Forget Friday the 13th, the real scary movie is having your battery die on you. So avoid this and pack a charger, and a power bank, and another charger, and another power bank. You get the drill.
#7. Signature scent
Of course you’re a classy babe and in spite of how stressful your day goes, you still want to communicate that. A fragrance is the best way to do this. Surely, everyone you meet during the day will know you aren’t basic.
#8. Hygiene products
You don’t know when that pee will come and you really need to go, but then there’s no tissue in sight. Well, start your day right and keep a pack of tissue in your handbag. Plus, panty liners, sanitary pads/tampons, and a hand sanitizer aren’t bad ideas either.
#9. A hair brush
In between catching the bus/train or hailing rides, grabbing a coffee, eating launch, going for a drink and all the other things that make up our day, your hair can become a mess. Arm yourself with the trusted weapon — a hair brush — and enjoy your day looking put together.
#10. Sunglasses
Unleash your inner Rihanna in stylish sunglasses as you give off a baddie vibe. No one would suspect how stressful a you’ve had when you stun in one of these. Oh yeah, they also protect from the sun.
