    28 Products For People Who Like To Be Over-Prepared

    It's the Mary Poppins way of life.

    1. A spray hand sanitizer for DESTROYING germs wherever you are. Public transportation? Bathrooms with no soap? You're covered.

    2. A 1-ounce bottle of dry shampoo POWDER (!!) that'll let ya ditch the shower on late mornings and walk out the door with hair that *looks* like it just got a fresh wash. Keep it in your purse for any midday touchups. Easy peasy.

    3. A pack of deodorant wipes you can whip out after the gym for a quick body refresher — and then head straight to happy hour.

    4. And! A 50-pack of individually wrapped antiperspirant wipes you can toss in your bag and whip out when you feel some sweat comin' on. Not only can they refresh your skin, but they can give you added protection to get you through the day.

    5. A wrinkle release spray for the "oh crap, I am running so late" mornings when there's no time to lug out the iron or steamer. It's even available in a travel-friendly size, because wrinkles have no place in your vacation wardrobe.

    6. A set of colorful bento boxes so it's super easy to meal prep, pack your lunch, and finally save some dang money...which are three things we could all use more of. A week of lunches doesn't seem so daunting now!

    7. And! A pre-filled grocery list to keep track of what you need throughout the week so when you hit up the store, you're not aimlessly wandering grocery store aisles with no game plan. That = bad.

    8. Heel repair caps to toss in your bag and whip out in case of a stiletto emergency. Just snap onto any of your black pumps that are looking worn out.

    9. A magnetic dry-erase board perfect for whatever weekly reminders you need to leave yourself before heading out the door. DON'T FORGET TO PICK UP THE DRY CLEANING.

    10. A mini, travel-friendly sewing kit to keep in your bigger bags or car in the event of a fashion emergency! Be prepared to handle snacks, rips, loose buttons, and more with this in arm's reach.

    11. A teeny migraine stick made with therapeutic essential oils that can relieve migraine pain and give you some dang peace during stressful weeks. Keep one in your bag so you're ready whenever a headache strikes.

    12. A Tide To Go stick that'll have you prepared for whatever coffee, lunch, or wine spill comes your way throughout the day.

    13. Oil-blotting wipes to swipe away that shiny 3 p.m. forehead without disturbing your makeup. Keep a pack at your desk, toss a pack in your purse, and live the oily skin–free life you deserve.

    14. Caffeinated mints that'll work double time to give you fresh, minty breath and a boost of energy that doesn't come with the crash or jitters. Midday slump, be gone!

    15. A box packed with 40 pretty cards ideal for a variety of occasions so you always have a quick backup when you forget a birthday...or dare I say your anniversary.

    16. A compact LED mirror that'll light up and expand for flawless touchups, and then fold down for storage. It has a 10X magnifying mirror, plus a regular one — and what I am trying to say here is, ya just can't go wrong with this!

    17. Tiny tubes (aka purse-friendly!) of anti-chafe and anti-blister balm to give your thighs and feet some relief on hot, sweaty days. Plus, it's made with hydrating ingredients that won't clog pores — and yup, that all sounds A+ to me.

    18. A pack of stainless steel straws with silicone tips (and a cleaning brush!) that'll make drinking out of them softer on your teeth. Reducing plastic is rad, and now you can do it on the go.

    19. A mini Sriracha bottle to keep stashed in your bag or even on your keyring, because you should never have to suffer through a bland work lunch.

    20. A car vent dip clip so you can dip 👏 those 👏 fries 👏 without fumbling with the barbecue sauce and spilling it all over your car. May your commutes home be somewhat tolerable now.

    21. A teensy eye contact kit complete with a case, tweezers, and an even teensier tube for solution, because all contact wearers know there are days when your eyes just aren't having it.

    22. A felt purse organizer to make it extra easy to transport your belongings from one purse to another so your wallet, glasses, hair tie collection, hand sanitizer, and other essentials never get left behind.

    23. An 11-function stainless steel multi-tool you can store in your wallet or bag and whip out like a super spy in any emergency you face.

    24. An ink and stain remover ready to take on the leaky pen stain that just ruined your shirt...ruined until now that is.

    25. A reliable portable charger small enough to fit in a purse, yet so powerful it can charge your phone up to five times (!!!) before it needs a recharge. Stranded without a phone? You? Never.

    26. Ibuprofen tablets in convenient packages perfect for smaller bags that don't have the space for an entire bottle. I mean, it's kind of the worst walking around with a bunch of pills rattling around your purse like a jingly cat collar.

    27. A suuuuuuuper duper small spatula made to get into the nooks and crannies of your best beauty products and remove every last drop so when you run out last minute (it always happens on the busiest days!!!), you're still ~covered~.

    28. Travel-sized Poo-pouri — it's a toilet spray that stops the smell of number two so you can poop in peace at work, for once.

    Here's to the over-prepared life.
