ITEMS TO BAG!
With most women constantly on the go, doing the school run, getting to the office, making sure the fridge is stocked up and keeping the house clean, sometimes the personal grooming takes a back seat and we look like we have been run over by a bus – and it’s not even 10am. However, with the right items and essentials in your bag, looking pretty or presentable doesn’t have to be so hard.
The Spa Manager from Granny Mouse Country House & Spa has a list of these specific items which will certainly help you on those days you really need it.
· First up, moisturizer and a travel face wash. These two items are the most basic, but will keep your face clean, moisturized and looking fresh.
· A good foundation and BB cream are important to have on hand. You always start your day looking fresh, clear-skinned and ready for work. But as it goes, it never really lasts the full 8 hour day. And that’s ok. By adding these items to your bag, you will certainly look and feel radiant before walking into your next meeting.
· If you are prone to breaking out, or those dark rings around your eyes are starting to show, a good concealer is always vital.
· Lipstick is also an essential item, and ensure you stick with a shade that suits you, and one that moisturizes your lips.
· Body lotion is a definite YES for us, especially us ladies in the Midlands, being in air conditioning or in the cold, dry outdoors. Keep it close and keep that skin moisturized.
· If you wear nail polish, don’t show off the chipped look – it’s definitely a beauty no-no. Keep the same shade of polish at your desk at work for those emergency moments.
· If you deal with a lot of paperwork or dirty surfaces, but you don’t have the opportunity to wash your hands as regularly as you’d like, then hand sanitizer is very important.
· One of the most important items is definitely roll-on or a spray deodorant, especially during the hot summer days. Compact perfumes are perfect too, but try not to overdo it as it can overpower not only you, but the room too.
· You might not have thought about it, but make-up remover is a great addition to add to your bag. If you are going to have to head off somewhere after work or go to gym, you don’t want your pores to clog up because you didn’t remove make-up off your face. And make sure you get a good quality one – don’t buy cheap!
· Lastly, and it’s a big one, toothpaste and a toothbrush are important, especially if you are constantly in close proximity to others. Whether you have had been eating spicy foods or consumed lots of tea and coffee, this is a must.
Remember to never leave home without putting some, or all, of these items in your bag, ensuring you look and feel your best at all times of the day.
