whether I spend my days in SF or am traveling, here are some essentials I keep in my bag M-F and weekends. I never know how long I'll be out, so I'm always prepared. Probably makes sense why I'm called the “mom” in my friend group?

What's in my bag?!

For a foodie girly on the go, I love these wipes! I travel with them, and have extras for friends. I'm the one that wears a white tshirt and gets chilli oil on her shirt. lovely. Although shout may help to not let the stain sit, but I still have to r...

Shout Wipes

With year around allergy season, in need of a tissue or share, this pack is always handy.

kleenex facial tissues

No big deal having a mask handy these days. For someone that gets sick easily I just feel more comfortable masking up in a crowded bus or hide my nose away from allergies season.

N95 mask

I love these! I probably have 1 in each of my bags just to make sure it's packed as a back up. You will always most of times find me with my hair up, and these are a godsend.

kitsch spiral hair ties

hair tie alternative.

Hair Clip

Big essential for me when traveling to disinfect a space or wipe the dorito dust off my fingers.

wet ones hand wipes

This is the holy grail. I may cheat on this with TJ hand cream, but it's a great dupe. sorry not sorry.

L'Occitane hand cream

Lip balm with SPF25? yes, please.

jack black intense therapy lip balm SPF 25

For how many times I accidentally bang up my sunglasses, or almost drop them.. I'm happy they are Ray Ban dupes. I've recommended these to friends, friends of friends, and they agree, this dupe is a goodie.

Pro Acme Small Square Sunglasses

I've had this charger since 2023, and it has saved me. My boyfriend has an android, and I have an Iphone, so this power unit helps us both out. I'd say you get a good 4 full charges out of it. Then after you can get at least 50% charged to get you ho...

Portable Charger for iPhone, Samsung & Tablets

Apple may have released newer versions of the OG, but I love the 1st edition. Always with 1 airpod in my ear when I'm on the go :)

Apple AirPods 2

I know we all have a “Notes” app on our phone, but there's something about writing with a pen in hand that's therapeutic. When I'm out on a busy errand day, I enjoy to take a seat at a cafe or park, and jot my thoughts down. It could be random, a to-...

Mini 5pk Journals

Scents

Grabbed a sample size of this scent, and I'm holding onto it as long as I can. With an aroma of lemon and black currant, its more refreshing than sweet.

LV Pacific Chill

true story: I accidentally broke the travel size of this fragrance last weekend, and I'm still sad. I enjoyed layering this with LV's Pacific Chill.

Versace Dylan Blue

As my go-to scent since 2010, Black Opium is still in my rotation. A little too sweet, with vanilla notes, but has its moment for a night out when its a vibe.

YSL Black Opium

Dog Walking Days

600 or 900 count is worth it!
Durable and easy to tear.

Waste Bags

In addition to towel-drying, these wipes work well to get rid of any dirt or guck after a walk. To add some longevity to use more than once, we like to place a good bunch in a ziploc bag to keep the moisture locked.

Earth Rated Dog Grooming Wipes -

My dogs love these! I love that they are breakable to smaller pieces for the little ones or can be a full treat for a bigger dog.

Blue Buffalo Health Bars

For a softer option, these are flavorfully delicious for the pups! I rather purchase beef flavored treats vs chicken, because I have found dogs are allergic to poultry.

Milo's Kitchen Beef Sausage & Rice Treats

Recent buy for the dogs and I to keep us well lite during the nights in the winter season. I even clip one on my key ring, and turn on the bright light setting when I'm walking home. Also, for SF drivers to see that a pedestrian is crossing. It's key to be seen!
1st/2nd setting: bright white light
3rd setting: red blinking light
4th setting: changing ombre rainbow light

Light Up Dog Collar Clip

Medium/Large Dogs: Love to run with a dog? Me too. When I first started running with my dogs, I purchased this leash and later upgraded to a newer version. Tuff Mutt creates a comfortable leash if you're interested in a running leash.

Tuff Mutt Dual-Handle Leash

Medium/Large Dogs: I purchased this as my 2nd running leash. It's durable, with padded handles and works best for medium to large dogs. There is a small pouch attached to the leash for small belongings and of course treats for safe keeping.

iYoShop Retractable Dog Leash

All Sizes: From a Bassett Hound to Husky, a padded rope leash has you covered. I like that even though the dog may pull, it's comfortable and strong.

Taglory Rope Dog Leash

Medium/Large Dogs: The dual handle helps a lot when a dog may be pulling or reactive.

Joytale Double-Sided Reflective Dog Leash
