Little Things That Make a Big Difference On a First Date

items It’s the little things that save the day. A mint for when the food was fishy, blotting paper when the nerves hit or your skin gets shiny, and that one lip product that makes you feel unreasonably pretty. This list is for the tiny details that come in...
Use this before you leave the house, in the bathroom after you’re done eating, or at any point you need to freshen up. What makes this spray truly unique is that it works to balance your oral microbiome plus gets rid of bad-breath causing bacteria. T...
CEELIKE Probiotic Oral Spray
Ladies, anything can happen on a first date. You’ve probably heard it before: go out prepared as if you were dining alone. I don’t like bulk or too many things to think about, so a Ridge wallet is perfect. It’s slim enough to slide into a pocket, hol...
Ridge Wallet
Peppermint and the probiotic spicy cinnamon mints are my favorites. The tin is so nice and sleek, you can just carry it about. I’d suggest getting the Doyle pack as it comes with a lot of mint and the carrying tin.

I always carry a pack of tissues not just on dates but in general. You never know when you might need to wipe something, like that park bench before you sit or that dollop of ice-cream that fell on your shirt.

You do not want to smell funky on your first date. Sure, you might leave the house fresh, but who knows where the day will take you? What if you go for a walk and it’s hot out? Or honestly, what if you break a sweat doing anything at all? I’ve used t...
Fomin AHA Deodorant Wipes
I have a soft spot for this mini Lume whole body deodorant because it’s never disappointed me. However, take a mini/travel size of any deodorant you love with you. It might come in handy!
Soft Powder Mini Whole Body Deodorant Smooth Solid - Lume
This is by far one of my favorite lip balms ever. The metal applicator is large and cooling, so it feels like a massage when you use it. Even if you don’t get this particular lip balm, keep one on hand!

It feels closer to a gloss than an oil and is so moisturizing! Leaves your lips soft and very kissable 😉
Fenty Treatz Hydrating + Strengthening Lip Oil
It’s truly understated how lovely it is to hold hands that feel good. I carry a mini philosophy hand cream, the fresh cream scent, with me everywhere and use it periodically. It makes my hands smooth and soft, with that delicious lactonic fragrance l...

I’ve mentioned safety a few times in this list and for good reason. Dates are fun but also risky as this is a new person you’re meeting. Please stay vigilant and protect yourself. I hope you’ll never have to use this pepper spray but it’s here just i...
Pepper Spray
I can’t stress this enough - this will make your life so much easier! Sure, taking a charger with you is fine but what if you’re not near an outlet? What do you do? This one is very light, can charge your phone fully up to 3x before needing to be cha...
Portable Charger with Built-in Cables
While I’ll never recommend sex on a first date, safety will always be paramount to me. Maude is incredible, these condoms are solid, and you can also check out their other products if y’all get serious 😘
Natural Latex Condoms | Non Spermicidal Condoms - Maude
If your date is happening around your period and you’re not sure when it could arrive, take two cotton pads with you! One should hopefully be enough because it’s unlikely that you’re going to immediately start heavy bleeding the moment your period st...
OCBON Ultra Thin Organic Cotton Pads with Wings
