Life is full of surprises, good and bad. Tiny missteps, one move too fast or in the wrong direction and your whole day can be set off by a spill, a tear, or a boo boo (yes I said boo boo). Of course, we never take note of these small catastrophes so that we can avoid them in the future. No worries. I did that for you! And made a list of essentials to pack in your purse!
Wet-Naps
You're not always amongst friends, and sometimes it's not appropriate to dip that pristine restaurant napkin in your glass of water to clean a spill. So, you try the bathroom. Uh oh. You're a female so that means a long line! Before you get your turn, the stain will have set.
Painkillers
Because you only have so many sick days. And because that one drink too many at last night's happy hour sent you into hangover hell today at the office. There are just plenty of times we need them and don't have them.
Band-aids
A tiny cut can drive you nuts! It's like an itch that won't go away. If anything rubs on it, it stings. Not to mention if dirt gets in there it can get infected. And sometimes if you're at a restaurant/concert/bar you name it, the closest convenience store is thirty minutes away.
Feminine "items"
No need to explain
Spare Key
Think about this: you live on a dark street in not the safest area, all the stores are closed and you are forced to sit outside and wait for a locksmith. My friend is notorious for forgetting her key and calling the locksmith. Luckily, she has a studio she can spend the night in when she's locked out of her house because she's a voice coach and wanted a separate place to give singing lessons from.
Pen & Paper
For directions, for the phone number of a cute guy, for the contact information for a good work connection when you've forgotten your business cards or ran out. Or what about a busy secretary that gives you info at lightning speed then hangs up! And there's one of life's biggest annoyances which is thinking "I need to remember to do x,y, or z" and not writing it down and forgetting all about it.
Sewing Kit
Because if just the wrong button pops off, you have an inappropriate blouse situation in the office. Or, possibly you get a small hole in your skirt while you're on the best first date of your life.
