My day might not be as crazy and busy as other moms, but it keeps me busy. I honestly don’t know how other moms handle it between work, school, soccer practice, dance class, cooking dinner, helping out with homework, hoping in the shower and trying to squeeze in at least eight hours of sleep. My kids don’t keep me THAT busy. My day is not as bad but I swear I could use another 10 hours to my day to get things accomplished.
I’m lucky if I have time to do my hair, much less anything else. I never leave home without a hair scrunchie or hair band.
How is a busy lady suppose to freshen up when she is always on the go-go-go? One suggestion would be to carry a small tote or make up bag with you that you can toss into your purse, gym duffle bag, or leave in your car so that you always have the essentials you need to freshen up when you need them.
There a few things I would recommend.
- Lip Balm – To keep your lips kissable soft.
- Moisturizer – Just in case your skin feels a bit dry. I never leave home without a small bottle of moisturizer.
- Hand Sanitizer – No one wants germ covered hands.
- Moist Wipes – To wash off your hands or body.
- Facial Wipes – To wash off sweat and make up from your face.
- Disposable toothbrush – I like the Wisp disposable toothbrushes. They are tiny and do a decent job.
- Dental Floss – Just in case your lunch gets caught in your teeth.
- Mints and/or Mouthwash – No one wants to chat with someone who has stinky breath.
- Tissues – No one wants to see a runny nose. They are also great for fixing make up smudges.
- Stain Remover Stick – Just in case you have an “oops” while you are out and about.
- Small brush or comb – To help fix your hair when it gets messy and out of control.
- Always panty liners – Helps to keep you dry and shower fresh all day long.
I’m sure some men reading this post probably cringed when I mentioned panty liners. 🙂 Sorry guys. You can stop reading the rest of the post if you want.
Why would you want to keep Always panty liners on hand? Because it’s a great way to stay dry and fresh. Especially when you are on the go-go-go you tend to break out in a sweat and as women we can sweat just about anywhere on our bodies – if you catch my drift.
Always Incredibly Thin Liners
- Always® Incredibly Thin™ panty liners are thin and comfortable enough to wear every day.
- They are designed with a breathable layer that helps keep moisture away.
- Feature an edge-to-edge adhesive that helps to keep the pantiliner from shifting.
- Wrapped to be slim, stylish and on-the-go.
I always keep some in my overnight bag, suitcase, at least one in my purse and a few others tucked here and there. You never know when you might need them. I like that they are small and discreet and you can’t even tell that you are wearing them.

Do you have a little case that you keep some “essentials” in? What do you usually carry around with you? What is one essential you need on hand all the time to help you feel fresh and refreshed?

I definitely need a tube of face wash since my face gets very sweaty especially in the summer

that’s a good rule to live by, I usually live the other way and i’m never prepared!

I need a stain remover stick, I know I know Tide makes one, but I have never tried it.
Cynthia R says
Great kit. Sometimes, I just feel blech in the morning when I get up. I don’t come alive until I have that first cup of coffee. Sometimes, it takes a couple. By then, I’m usually on the road!
Cathy Shaw says
I’m all for the panty liners! They are useful any time.

I always carry hand sanitizer with me. You never know when an emergency will happen and you may need to sanitize your hands or another area of your body.
Tammy S says
Great tip. I love all the items in your little go to bag.I have put most of those items in a makeup bag that my daughter keeps in her backpack for school. I totally forgot to put in some pantie liners. Thanks for the reminder!
