The Large bag
from micro bag... go big. SERIOUSLY Is what is fashionable plus it will help you carry what you need from your trunk to your bathroom. That doesn't mean over load it and look like your are carrying a dead body in your bag. But you will see what I mean in a minute. You have needs and that is what your bag is for. Do you have a gym at work? with showers and everything available? or just a multiple toilet bathroom? depending on what kind of facilities you have then you have to choose what you will bring from your trunk to your work area in you bag. Is that simple.
The Makeup Bag
- Make sure is washable in case of any accidents
- Pick one large enough for your cosmetics
- If you find one with multiple pockets or simple to organize brushes that would be a plus.
- Do not store medicines with make up.
Unless you are one of the million of women who wake up late an put makeup on the way to work. In the car on a traffic light....How do i know this? Because i use to do this until i retire from my job in the Army! And that is a long time doing it! Please! I have something better for your ears. It is better to drive focused, arrived earlier, and have 5 minutes to run to the bathroom and put makeup before the work rush start up. I know we never think about having accidents on the way but i did look back and i did have many while i was on my make up duty. Of course i blame the other person! NOT A NICE THING TO DO AT ALL!
What to put in it?
- Compact powder
- Blush
- One multi-color Eye shadow set with as many colors you want small enough to fit your makeup bag.
- Lip gloss.
- Mascara
- One Dark Brown eye liner.
- Concealer
- Small bottle with perfume.
- Small bottle of hair gloss
- Small zip lock bag with bobby pins, hair clips, hair bands.
- One natural color nail polish
**If you use a base like dermablend or any other extend use base you wont have to re apply your base and powder during the day. So you don't need to carry the bottles with you. you might carry eye shadow and lip gloss just to change your appearance but you wont have to retouch your makeup at all.
**Remember this is for a retouch. You should put make up at home. If you didn't then you need a large make up bag and bring the entire make up set. Make sure your makeup is not expired and everything fit on your makeup bag!!!
What is in your trunk?
The large plastic box:
Every car should have their equipment in case you have a flat tire or something happen on the road; you or someone else can help you fix any issues with the car. That is the smart thing to do. But when it comes to your personal life it is smart too to be ready for any situation.
Do you have your own emergency kit? A simple plastic box from any store should be in your trunk as an emergency kit. What to put on it is simple and it depends on your expectations. Play always the What if....game and that's what should be in the box.
Your age determine a lot about the box too. a 24 year old girl who is single might be ask to go out after work. So her what if could be different than a 55 year old married woman with kids. One could be ask to go out for dinner while the other could be ask to go out for a church meeting. Or a school play. Here are some general Ideas of what you can have with you in general. Some others are Ideas for the box in your trunk. We also will like to hear your personal ideas.
The emergency box
Just a smaller box that can fit inside the trunk box. Fill it with band aids alcohol pads, gauze, headache medication (just one or two pills remember if medications stay in your trunk you must replace them often one or two doses is enough for an emergency until you get home or hospital, anti diarrhea medication, peptobismol, cold pack, hot pack) you name it and you will find it. The dollar tree store is one of the best places to find this stuff for cheap prices.
The weather bag
Is just a Large zip Lock bag (why i say ZIP LOCK because as i say before i use to be in the military and from all my deployments and travels i can say i never wore a dirty or wet uniform ever!! thanks to Zip Lock bags. I use to be In the Air Force as a 4NO and in the army as a 68W Jumping out of air plains or walking in the heat all my uniforms and boots were always inside of Zip Lock bags. They come in Sizes You wont believe. So don't play the game of my clothes will smell like trunk or my shoes will be stained. Because they won't. Buy a large Zip Lock bag put a sweater or light jacket and a pair of socks if is winter time if is summer time change it for some shorts and t-shirt. Remember this will stay in your trunk. So dont put your favorite set on it. Just a regular one that will make you look casual. In case you need it. Running shoes will be a plus if you are a sport fan.
Personal hygiene box
Another small box that can fix in the large plastic box. The toiletry items we are talking about are travel size toiletry. Soap, Razor, Body cream, Hair Brush, Deodorant, Tooth brush, Tooth paste, Travel size body spray, towel, tweezers travel size flat iron or curler etc.
Casual outfit bag
Is exactly that a zip lock bag with an outfit that you will wear anywhere. A casual outfit? Jeans.... They go everywhere! with the right compliments of course. if you add some high hills and a nice shirt, jacket and accessories. More casual? maybe a cotton shirt and boots. There are millions of options. But don't put in the bag your best outfit. Remember it will stay in your trunk. A knit shirt or some fabric that wont wrinkle would be the best option. Some jeans with a casual jacket... the options are multiple. Set it with a pair of gorgeous sandals and put it with a zip lock bag so it doesn't get mess up or stained.
Food hmmm snacks....
Is true.... once is in your reach you will eat it. So be honest and stack you office, back pack, purse, and vehicle with healthy choices. Is not that I am not guilty of snack attack! but when you are in a hurry... and must of us are must of the time. You will eat what you have. Buy it. have with you. You will see the difference.But for this you will need a small cooler of course!!
