In this post I am going to talk about the emergency bag to carry in your bag. One day, on a YouTube channel, I saw a tip that I found very useful, and yet it had never occurred to me: to have an emergency bag to pass from one bag to another. The girl explained that this way you save time preparing what you are going to take every time you change your bag, and you avoid forgetting important things. You simply change the emergency bag from one place to another. I don’t normally use it, but I always carry it with me, in case I end up sleeping out of home or have an emergency.

Here I am going to share what my emergency bag contains (each one can adapt it to their needs, of course):

* Omeprazole and ibuprofen pills. If you read my post about the period, you know the problems I have, so I always carry some pills with me.

* A panty liner. For the same reason. I do not wear a sanitary towel because it is more bulky, and if my period comes suddenly, it does not start from the first moment like an open tap. When the date approaches, I add some sanitary towels to my bag, and I always have them on my worktable’s drawer too.

* A pair of hair ties and four hairpins. There must be a parallel universe of hairpins and hair ties, but it has happened to me to need them and not have them… so never again.

* A couple of plasters. Very useful especially in the summer period, when ballet flats or sandals can cause unexpected rubbing.

* A travel toothbrush, a small travel toothpaste and an interdental brush. I usually put the kind of pastes given away on airplanes or when buying toothbrushes. I already explained which toothpaste I use (coconut oil + bicarbonate), but since this is only “just in case”, I those small toothspastes I have at home.

* A box with earplugs. Usually I cannot sleep without my earplugs, and I wear them in case I sleep out of home.

And if you have the misfortune of being short-sighted like me, you can also carry another bag with a case of contact lenses and a small bottle with liquid (the very very small ones that come in little cases, or carry the little case the case directly). This also in case we sleep out of home or a contact lens suddenly starts bothering us. This should be in a separate bag, just in case liquid is spilled. By the way, I already published a post about vision, but soon I will publish a post about how to reverse myopia (yes, it is possible !!!).

Well, apart from this, I carry a lipstick for my lips, but not in the emergency bag because I do use it regularly (Dr. Burt’s Bees brand, don’t use petroleum derivatives). Many would add a mirror, but I don’t because mirrors are everywhere and you can use your phone’s camera.

I hope you find it useful!

Regards!!
