I talk a lot about setting yourself up to win, which means doing things for yourself now that can eliminate stress later. Part of getting rid of unnecessary anxiety is having the things I need… when I actually need them. Today I’m sharing what my survival kit looks like. Being prepared makes me happy!
- 1. Hairbrush
- This mini hairbrush is perfect for a really quick hair touch up in between activities.
- 2. Stain Remover Stick/Pad
- Nothing makes me feel less confident than knowing I have a stain on my clothes.
- 3. Tata Harper Aromatic Stress Treatment
- My bff works for Tata Harper and when I told her how running around makes me stressed she recommended this product. Just a dab on my wrists/neck and it helps me calm down.
- 4. iPhone Charger
- My phone dies super fast and I make sure I always have a charger so I never get stranded somewhere without battery. Also, I was VERY pleased to have charged my phone when my car broke down on the highway last year!
- 5. Stila Eyeliner
- This is my favorite liquid eyeliner. I never wear eyeshadow and just go right for a winged eyeliner. During the day, I need touch ups though so I always have it with me.
- 6. Advil
- I get unexpected migraine headaches so these are a must.
- 7. Band.do Highlighters
- Making my to-do lists colorful makes me SO HAPPY. Ban.do is a super fun company and I love browsing their website.
- 8. Toothbrush & Toothpaste
- I’m not a big fan of gum because of the fake sugar in it, so I keep a travel size toothbrush with me.
- 9. Tampons
- You never want to be caught without a tampon when you need one.
- 10. Black Pen
- I’m always writing things down, taking student notes, or brainstorming my next big idea. I also have a favorite pen and this is it.
- 11. Modern Mentor Hair Ties
- I always have two! One for my hair and another to give away to a friend.
- 12. #MeToo Tattoos
- To use when I need a reminder that everyone all goes through the same things. Also the most fun to use when getting together with friends. #instagram
- 13. Nail Polish Remover
- I hate when my nails are chipped and this takes it off so fast!
- 14. Modern Mentor Card
- You never know when you want to keep in touch with someone. There are so many websites where you can get cute cards printed with your email address and phone number. I totally recommend it. You never know who you’re going to meet!
- 15. Burt’s Bees Facial Wipes
- These are the best. I use them after dance and yoga to keep my skin clean! Also good after you eat something messy… #tacos.
- 16. Headphones
- If you follow me on Spotify, you already know I’m obsessed with music. Headphones are probably the most important item to me. I never know when I’m going to NEED to listen to my favorite song.
- 17. Bobby pins
- To keep my hair and my headphones untangled.
