Inside A Lady's Bag: 7 Basic Thing That A Lady Should Have

"As a college student, I do travel a lot and commute.  I ride 6 different transportation every day..."

As a lady (this could apply to men too!), we must stay clean and presentable as much as possible. No one likes to get embarrassed in front of anyone, even if its our friend. We need some stuff to keep us from looking too much stressed out. I'm pretty sure you are like me too, the fact that you are reading this and you want to know what items to bring during your busy days.

I am not fond of using too much make-up. What is important to me is to maintain presentable and clean. Make-up can get too sticky and hot on the face when mixed with dirt, pollution and sweat. I travel about 3-4 hours every day and not to mention, I walk a lot too! Come rain, come shine, I am outside, Well, I need to be! I have no choice. So I am really exposed to all the hazards of the environment.

So I bring these everyday... (it is understood that I bring some notebooks and books, right?)

1. Hand Sanitizer/Alcohol

I face different people everyday. This is a necessity, particularly if you are outside most of the time.

2. Pack of Wet Wipes/Tissue

Public toilet without tissue? Co-worker "accidentally" spilled drink on you? Smudged lip-stick? Oily face? Who knows when you'll need it?

3. Talc Powder/Foundation

I have both powder and liquid foundation. But I use the powder more often because I am not really fond of using foundations. i do use them but not always. Just when I don't have too much physical activities.

4. Perfume

As mush as possible, I choose light scented perfumes. We need to look AND SMELL pleasant too.

5. Umbrella

As I have said, Come rain, come shine, I am there. LITERALLY! I AM! 

6. Pen and Paper

My high school English teacher always tell us to bring at least one pen and a paper. It will come in handy anytime in anyway it can.

7. Water (Optional)

You could bring a jug of water from your home or you could just stop by at a local convenience store. 

8. Sanitary Pads/Tampon

Having accidents is just embarrassing as hell!

9. Face Towel (Optional)

This is for the sweaty OR oily face. Just to wipe out the dirt and pollutants on the face.

10. Mouth Wash/Mints (Optional)

Chances are someone will ask you out after work/class or you got a date, You are ready.

11. Sun Block/Moisturizer (Optional)

This is often done at home. This is unnecessary but, I do bring both just in case I will spend more time under the sun.

12. Feminine Wipes (Optional)

If you already have a wet wipes, then this is very unnecessary at all. But if you wish to have both like I do, much better. Feminine wipes are made especially for that area down there. I have to remind you if you are using public toilets, it is much better if you have this.

13. Adhesive Bandages (Optional)

You accidentally got a paper cut? OUCH! You could have this.

I am not telling you to bring all these stuff that I do bring everyday, the 7 basic items that a lady should have I mentioned above (1-7) is based on my opinion. Maybe you need more than what I need (inhaler, reading glasses, medically related tools, etc.). Just remember, even if you are all stressed out from work or other personal matter, don't forget to wear your smile. That is just enough to lighten your day and everybody you come across with.

"Another thing, don't forget to bring a generous amount of self-confidence..."
