For all of you girls who have a dozen handbags that
you alternate between depending on the outfit, all of you must have your
essentials in your main day bag, right? I've listed some of my staples
that I can't live without, especially when I'm traveling.
Ultimate Direction water bottle:
This item is more essential to me than my wallet sometimes. I have a
bunch of them at my house and there is always one in my hand or purse. I
don't drink soda or juice and it's amazing how much better you will
feel overall when you increase your water intake. Having a bottle that
can be filled up anywhere is essential for absolutely everyone at all
times!
Mini note-pad and pen: God forbid
people actually write things down on paper now instead of their
smartphone or tablet. Call me old-school, but I make my grocery lists
and to-do lists using an actual pen and paper. They say that the most
successful people all make to-do lists. Start making one each day and
you'll be shocked at how much you can accomplish!
Body Shop Hemp hand cream: This is
another essential for staying hydrated. Skin is the largest organ in
the human body and it needs to be protected from chapping, which can
lead to infections having open wounds with all of the bacteria our hands
are exposed to on a daily basis. This cream is the best and pretty
affordable at the Body Shop.
Ray-Bans: Whether I'm protecting
my light blue eyes from the rays of the sun bouncing off the snow or at a
golf tournament in a sunny climate, I cannot bear to be without my
sunglasses. You only get one pair of eyes in this life, so protect
them... and it never hurts to use a little fashion while doing so. Just
remember this one very important thing while shopping for
sunglasses--they MUST say 100% UV protection. If they don't, then you
will actually be doing more damage to your eyes by wearing them. People
squint as a natural way to protect the pupil. If the sunglasses are
giving us a false sense of protection, then we will be looking straight
at the sun with our eyes fully exposed if we are wearing sunglasses
without UV protection.
Eyeliner: Everyone has a favorite
feature and mine is my eyes. I like to play them up, so I feel almost
naked without eyeliner. It is always in my purse!!
iPad: OK, OK... I know I say I'm old school by writing everything down, but I
also love my iPad! I'm a sports junkie so I love being able to follow
scores at all times no matter where I am.
Business Cards: I travel
extensively and am constantly meeting new and fascinating people. I
love keeping in touch with everyone, so I carry my business cards at all
time. Always be sure to follow up with an email soon after meeting
someone so to be sure they remember you.
Lip essentials: Again... hydration
is key!! I have lip balm scattered all over my house and in every purse
I have. I also have a go-to lip gloss that can add a little bit of
color appropriate for day or night in nearly every purse.
Toothbrush and Toothpaste: I'm a
dental hygiene freak! How many people here love tasting their own
coffee breath?? Gross!! It's also great to have after a long flight. I
can go to the bathroom, rinse my face and brush my teeth to wake up a
bit.
BARE ESSENTIALS: iPhone with headphones, wallet and keys.
