Going out with your best-buddy, your bag? Here are some tips
to get your day going worry-free!)Not listed in the order of importance)
1. Wet Tissue
Used for smudged make-up, refresher – coming from a travel
in a polluted area or being sticky because of sweat due to humid weather.
It is very useful in situations that you felt the need to
do a "call of nature" too, wherever you are and whenever it is you will no longer hold it
back because you do not have soap and it is really a seconds-emergency, no way
you can find a store to buy.
2. Alcohol and cologne in an atomizer bottle
3. Panty liner/Sanitary napkin
Added women protection. Either pad can be bought
individually-packed for easy and safe handling.
4. Handkerchief/handy pack of tissue paper
For sneezing, wiping your mouth etc.
5. Safety pin/thread and needle
They may not always be needed but there is nothing wrong
with being prepared, it would not take a quarter part of your bag to house
them. If you r dress/pants’ buttons went missing etc., you can just lounge in
the CR for a while sewing or putting the safety pin to fix the problem.
6. Nail Cutter
My technique is that, I put it on my home’s key chain, it
will always come back in my bag BECAUSE “I never left the house without the
front door’s key…”when I forgot to trim my nails, restroom would be the best
place to do it as long as the cutter is in my bag.
7. Pen and Post-it paper
Those are important, there are unexpected situations that
you need to remember something and this pair comes handy. Like phone numbers you
need to take note of immediately (e.g. FOR SALE car, house for rent, wanted for
employment etc. you come across with while riding the bus where saving on a cellphone needs more time.
It can also be helpful to list what you need to buy or
remember, scribble it in the post-it paper and keep it on the top page of the
pad. Don’t forget to put it back in your bag after listing.
8. Current Home Bills
Always put the bills folded in a little zip-lock plastic so
that you can check the dates when it is due and it is right there with you when
you are out and when you need to pay it.
10. Bag Organizer
It is very useful, the common style of bag organizers are
plain, rectangular with lots of different-sized pockets outside; there is for
your lipstick, powder (it fits right that it will not spill), and a larger
pocket (can be room for your pen etc.) Organizers not only keep your bag
organized but also CLEAN, no powder spills and unwanted pen markings on your
bag etc.
11. Phone charger/Extra cellphone battery
If we are having too many calls a day, we have to bring
charger, just make sure the wire is not lose, you can use rubber band or twist
tie ( if not arranged, the wire may be
pulled-out from fastening inside its head causing it to fail) , better or have an extra battery for
immediate switching.
12. Mobile Phone and or Pager
Mobile phone is not luxury anymore, it is a necessity. I put
it last on the list because this might probably be the first thing that comes
to your mind on listing what your bag should have inside.
Extras:
Make-up kit. Some would want to bring an extra thin-to-fold
changing shirt or blouse (depending on the cloth, there are kinds that rolled
not more than an inch-thick. It can be wrapped in a paper or plastic to keep
your bag in order then stand it like pole in one of the corners that is if your
bag is roomy.
Important:
Self-defense gadget.
Bring that “tear gas” for your protection. I would not
suggest any sharp material like knives because men are proved to be physically
stronger than women, it may just be snatched from you unlike “pepper sprays”
that will keep the villain distracted for a while for you to run for help.
I hope to have shared with you some handy tips that will
give you a stress-free and enjoyable day
out! If you like this post, don’t forget
