What’s in My Bag?

July 25, 2020 Comments : 5

As a busy mom I am constantly on the go. i have shared what I put in my diaper bag but realized that I have not once shared what’s in my bag. I am constantly switching products from my work bag, to the diaper bag and then to my gym bag. I am always afraid of missing something or leaving something behind so I created a easy to transfer bag to keep all the essentials in I would want while on the go.

This post is sponsored by Always and Tampax. However, all my opinions are my own. You can find my full disclosures HERE.

What’s in my Bag? 9 Things to always have on hand

Looking for the essentials to always have on hand when you leave the house? Here is what's in my bag and the things I can't leave the house without. | Purse essentials | must have products |

Lip Balm

Especially during those dry, cold winter months.

Headphones

I always forget my headphones when I go to the gym so I have learned to just keep them in my bag at all times. Getting to the gym and realizing you can’t listen to your rage workout music without disrupting your fellow gym goers is disapointing to say the least.

Cash

For when you want to grab that afternoon coffee. Plus it is always good to have cash on hand for emergencies.

Eye Drops

Everything lately seems to dry out my eyes; the weather, allergies, wearing a mask. Plus I wear contacts which make matters even worse. I can’t leave my house without re-wetting drops in my bag.

Feminie Hygiene Products

I don’t ever want to be caught in a situation where I am lacking the appropriate feminie hygiene products. I make sure that I have Tampax tampons and Alway pads on hand for those just in case moments.

The Always Infinity Flex Foam pads make it possible to have zero feel and zero leaks. So thin and flexible, this pad moves with you while you go about your day. Not only does it over 10 hours of leak protection, but it comes in 5 different sizes so you are sure to find the perfect fir for your body.

Tampax pearl tampons are also great to have on hand for your (or your friend’s) protection. These tampons come in 5 different absorbencies since every day of your period is not the same and feature a LeakGuard braid that helps stop leaks! Another thing I love about the Tampax Pearl tampons is that they are free of perfume or chlorine bleaching and are gentle on skin. If that’s not enough to convince you; Tampax Pearl tampons are the #1 US Gynecologist recommended tampon brand based on a 2020 survey.

Did I mention that from now until July 25th you can save $4 off 2 products at Stop & Shop. This promotion can be found at Stopandshop.com and the BrandSaver weekly paper which is available in stores! Hurry, this deal will only last till July 25th.

Hair Ties and Bobby Pins

For obvious reasons.

A Pen

You would be surprised about how many times I have needed a pen and have not had one. Now I carry one with me everywhere I go.

Hand sanitizer

Another item that has become a neccessity lately.

Lotion

My skin always seems to be dry no matter the time of year so I keep lotion on hand for just that purpose.

    Feminine Hygiene products and chapstick has always saved me! You never know when your period will come and I always seem to have chapped lips.

    A few must haves in my bag are snacks, nail clippers and wipes of some sort! My bag is ALWAYS full of a random assortment of things but if I have those 3, I’m good!

    I always have Tampa’s in my bag! It’s a must for those moments just in case. I think it’s something most women have in their purse or bag.

I had to make the difficult decision to say goodby I had to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to Bella today. I’ve had Bella for 16 years. She has seen me through  relationships, marriages, a divorce, the birth of my children, countless moves and so much more. She was my little lazy dog that loved to snuggle under the covers and lay out in grass on a sunny day. 
She hated winter and tolerated the children. She’s going to be missed so much ❤️

Supporting my postpartum body with @beli.baby Pren Supporting my postpartum body with @beli.baby Prenatal vitamins. 
Not only are the essential prior to conception and during pregnancy; they are essential to keep the body healthy after pregnancy as well. 
I have openly shared my previous miscarriages before finally getting pregnant with Chloe. This is why I decided to check out the Beli Women Prenatal vitamins to help with my own personal fertility and boost my chances of a having a successful pregnancy. The Beli Women Prenatal vitamins are formulated with powerful ingredients that can boost fertility and conception as well as  improve egg quality. As an older mom, this was especially important to me. During pregnancy, the Beli Women Prenatal can protect baby’s brain and spine, help reduce nausea, and then support postpartum recovery and breastfeeding.
And as a busy mom having the ability to order and have them delivered to your door monthly makes it that much easier for me to remember to take them.

A little day off morning routine that for once was A little day off morning routine that for once was not pure craziness. 
Things that help me get out the door in the morning on time is getting up before the kids, having clothes picked out the night before and making sure their bags are packed for daycare and school. 
Mornings before work are a completely different ballgame.
