So to kick off my first blog post, I'm going to be talking about an 'emergency kit' for your backpack, purse or locker.
Well what is an 'emergency kit'? It's a small pouch or pencil case that has a few things you might need at school that you can carry around with you. On Youtube, it seems that most people start being interested in an emergency kit in middle school, so here is a middle school 'emergency kit'.
First, you're going to find a pouch or pencil case to put your things in. I chose a medium sized, opaque little pencil case with cute patterns on it. It's going to help if the pouch is cute since you'll have to see it everyday if you put items you use regularly inside.
Items for Your Kit
- Deodorant: Personally, I use a Body Shop deodorant but you can put in whatever deodorant you use. This can be small or large, depending on how big the pouch you've bought is.
- Perfume or Body Spray/Mist: My deodorant has a nice fragrance to it, but I still put a small perfume inside the kit since sometimes, you just want to smell a little fruity or floral, you know? This is good if you have it in travel-sized containers or in small samples, but if you have smaller bottles of perfume, they work too.
- Chapstick or Lip Balm: If you're putting lip balm into the kit, it's better to have it in a tube instead of a pot since sometimes, you don't know what you've touched and it's just not really hygienic to put your fingers into that little tub. Tubes are cool too, and you can still get really nice flavours. Of course, you can also get.....
- Lip glosses: Some glosses have SPF and moisturising qualities in them, so these are cute to have in the kit too. I personally chose a nude coloured gloss and a pale pink one, since our school has a 'discreet makeup' policy. To stop yourself from getting gloss all over your face, use a...
- Compact Mirror: It's a mirror. 'Nuff said.
- Hairbrush: If you have PE, make your hair look nice again with this brush. And incase you forgot about PE and have to put your hair up, use...
- Hairbands: Ponytail, messy bun or braids. Look cute, all year round!
- Hand or Body Lotion: This is going to help a lot during the winter months when you have dry hands. Again, it's great to have this in little bottles instead of big ones if your kit isn't too big, but it's really up to you.
- Tampons or Pads: If you already have your period, you're going to want to put a few extras inside, but for those who haven't, just have a few. You never know when it'll come! If you want, put this in a separate pocket. It's extremely embarrassing to have these fall out suddenly when you're taking out a gloss (trust me, I know). This is also why you should have an opaque little pouch instead of a zip-loc! Unless, of course, that's your thing...
- Mints or Gum: My school doesn't allow gum, but if your school does, then it's great to have some with you. Otherwise, mints work fine as well. Or if you don't like to have these, you can have...
- Mouthwash: I didn't put this in my kit since I don't like mouthwash, but this is cool too.
- Cough drops/lozenges: I hate when suddenly I have a coughing fit in class. This should prevent those situations.
- Cotton-pads or Cotton-buds: I keep a few of these, just in case. And maybe some...
- Rubbing Alcohol: OK, this isn't really something small, but I have a little in a small bottle to clean up cuts. Stops infections from getting in, too. Cover up the cut with...
- Plasters/Band-aids: These are for those times when you or your friend falls over in the playground. We all have those days!
- Hand Sanitizer: Just touched some gross stuff under the table and teach won't let you out? Use some sanitizer to clean yourself up.
- Extra pencil, pen and eraser: You never know if you'll lose one.
- Extra money: I always forget something after the big holidays. Most often, it's my lunch money.
- Nail file: Get rid of those hang nails, pronto!
- Tissues: Cure that runny nose.
- Oil Blotting Tissues: To prevent acne and just get rid of that shiny face.
So that's all for now. Leave a comment below to tell me what you have in your 'emergency kit'!
