Bags

What holds it all together. A good bag goes such a long way. This includes not only my overall work bag, but the little storage bags inside that keep it organized.

I've had this bag for 3 years now and it is my absolute favorite. It has a little protective part for my laptop and holds all my essentials in one place. Plus, it's comfy to wear and has held up so well over time.

The perfect small zippered bag to put your work “emergency kit”. Makes everything easily visible so you can see what you need to grab or if it needs refilled.

I always have a separate little makeup pouch in my bag to keep any beauty product separate from my other things. You can easily use any small pouch you have at home, but if you don't have one, this small zip up one is great to keep your beauty produc...

Never be stuck at the office without something to touch yourself up! Or just something to keep your lips and hands hydrated (dry office air is the worst, iykyk)

Ever gone to the bathroom and realized your hair was pointing in 10 different directions? Same. I started carrying around this mini taming wand to fix flyaways or maintain my slick back throughout the day. Especially helpful for anyone that goes to t...

I've developed an unhealthy obsession with these but for a good reason. This is one of the few lip products I actually feel have hydrated my lips long after they wear off. I'll be collecting all the colors. Super hydrating, such cute colors, and very...

I know this is a little pricy but this hand cream is SO GOOD. Dry office air has nothing on this one. I absolutely love having a hand cream in my bag at all times so that I don't have to have uncomfortable, cracked skin while I'm typing all day.

I don't always have full makeup (or any makeup) on in the office BUT I recently bought this for days when my skin decides to act up or I need to touch up my makeup. It's small, simple, and easy to use and I love that it's a stick formula. Fits easily...

I keep this on hand specifically for after a workout since I workout during my lunch breaks. This refreshes my skin and also prevents breakouts from sweat.

I try to keep a small hairbrush in my bag just in case. I frequently have fly away hairs or need to adjust my hair throughout the day depending on what I'm doing that day so this comes in handy.
Mini Boar Bristle Hair Brush for All Hair

Just in Case

These have saved me more times than I can count. I will always keep these little things on hand because you just never know when you'll need them!

So inexpensive but has saved me more times than I can count. I bring this with me to work, any time I go out, and on all my travel days. There are enough compartments for me to fit anything I might need throughout the day and this has rescued me from...

I always, ALWAYS have a mini deodorant in my bag. Forgot to put yours on? Did it wear off? You worked out and need more? There are so many times I've needed this on hand at work so now it's a staple in my bag.

Another one of those things you just never know if you'll need. I've needed these on more than one occasion for a blister from a new shoe.

Because these are larger I usually keep these separate from the rest of my medicine box. These come in very handy!

I love the pill/tablet version of Pepto for my work bag. The liquid version is just not portable. These work super fast and are easy to put in my travel medicine box.

These stay in my work bag. They're perfect for workouts, cancelling out office noise, or just taking a call. I love that the case re-charges the ear buds so all you have to do is make sure your case is charged up. They have a super long battery life ...

I always keep a tiny umbrella at the bottom of my bag. This just helps so I don't always have to check the weather but will always be prepared if it rains.
