Nothing is worse then being out-and-about and not having that one item that you need. You always want to be ready for whatever it going to happen, but it can be hard to always have everything you need, especially when you are switching purses. I have put together a list of all the things that I carry in a small cosmetic bag. This way I can easily transfer from one purse to another and I always have the products with me that I need.

1. Tinted Lip Moisturizer

Lipstick can be a real pain. A tinted lip moisturize not only adds moisture to your lips, but a little bit of color. You do not have to worry about it rubbing off on your teeth and you can get a subtle color that can be reapplied without a mirror.

2. Oil Blotters

Who has an oily t-zone? I do too! Oil blotters are great to help with this! Now, they make them for multiple skin concerns such as acne or anti-aging. So... hit up your local drug store and pick up whatever kind you need. This is a great product to have that will make you feel like you just washed your face.

3. Translucent Face Powder

If you are like me, then you do not carry around your entire make-up bag. But most make-up needs to be touched up every 4-6 hours. Carrying a translucent face powder with you is going to help clean up your make-up and it is only one product verses however many you have in your cosmetic bag.


4. Lotion

Nothing is worse than having dry hands and needing lotion. We have all have had this experience. Skip the dry hands and carry a small travel size lotion with you in your cosmetic bag. The great thing about this is that when you buy a full size lotion you sometimes also get a travel size!

5. Hand Sanitizer

It never hurts to have this with you. It's always nice to be able to clean your hands before you eat or shake hands with another person. It's always good to be prepared for when you stop at rest stops or gas stations.

6. Mouth Wash/Breath Strips/Breath Mints/Gum

No body likes to be self-conscious about their breath. Carry a travel size bottle of mouth wash, breath strips, gum, or breath mints with you. We also know how much people love sharing gum with everyone around them. Save yourself the trouble from bugging other people and carry your own with you. Now you do not have to worry about bad breath!

7. Pocket Mirror

It always comes in handy. Whether you are reapplying your lipstick or trying to get something that it stuck in between your teeth, a pocket mirror is always a good thing to have with you.


Everyone has different things that they always carry with them. What items do you always have on you?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
