makeup wipes
We’ve all been there where we’re too tired to remove our makeup. Maybe you’re coming home from a late night or you’re too lazy to get out of bed. Keeping makeup wipes in your purse is a major life hack. You can wipe the dat off on a train ride home, or clean your face up a little to reapply makeup midday. These makeup wipes are my favorite. They also come in handy when I need to clean your phone or wipe your hands.
hand cream (with spf)
Our hands and neck are the first to show signs of aging due to thin skin. There’s no reason in your 20’s, or early 30’s for that matter, your hands should look like you’ve been playing in sand all your life. Regularly using hand cream will act as a preventative measure to tired looking hands. I prefer this hand cream with spf, so that my hands are protected from the damaging rays of the sun.

small perfume bottle
I love smelling good! One of my favorite scents is Dolce by Dolce Gabanna, but it’s such a light and floral scent it usually wears off during the day. That’s why I like to transfer some of in a small perfume bottle I can easily carry in my purse.
This one is super cute, and strangers constantly compliment me on it! I prefer this one because it doesn’t spill out like the others.
travel deodorant
I am completely obsessed with the way I smell. I’m super conscious of every scent I omit from my mouth to my toes. If you’re having a busy day or your underarms tend to change smell throughout the day do yourself a favor and keep deodorant on you. I like the circular shaped ones. I find them easy to keep in my bag. Try this one from Secret!
nail file
You ever have a rough edge that annoys you throughout the day, but there’s nothing you can do because you don’t have a nail file? Well I do and it’s annoying af. I snags on to everything: my hair, stockings, clothes.
This is exactly why you need to carry a nail file it’s really a lifesaver and literally takes up no space.

phone charger
This one is a no brainer. You never want to be out having fun, and this your phone dies or someone else’s. On a ordinary day I’d leave my charger at home, but if you’re traveling or constantly on your phone a charger is a wise choice.
When I take a day trip or am somewhere other than my home city I always keep a portable battery with me. This one stays charged long, and is lighter and more compact then it looks.
sunglasses
I actually don’t leave my house without sunglasses. Winter summer it does not matter I faithfully wear sunglasses year round. Not only do they protect your eyes from crows feet, but if you had a late night, and for some reason or another have to go home in the morning sunglasses are a everything.
a pen
You may think “oh I don’t need a pen”, but you do. A pen is comes in handy at the airport, when signing a receipt, and literally in the most random occurances daily.
You never know when the time will arise where you’ll need a pen, but I promise you, it will. A fancy pen isn’t necessary, but do get a pen.
hand sanitizer
After covid I think we all know this is a necessity. I found out about this one by Dove right before I went to Tulum. I found it in the travel section of Target. It’s nice because it keeps your hands moisturized, soft, and has a nice light scent.
I also like the face that it comes in handy after a meal. Whatever you use on your hands just make sure that you’re using something to keep your hands clean.
gum/mints
I’m convinced people are completely unaware of the smell coming out of their mouth. Especially if you enjoy eating breath offensive foods, or your job involves talking to a lot of people face to face. Keep your breath minty fresh. It’s the ladylike thing to do
