DIY Emergency Kit

Just a few months ago I had a Client email me to find out the items that I traditionally carry in my Emergency Kit. She wanted to make a mini one for her friend who was getting married.

Here is a list of items that I would really recommend. These are the items that I most commonly use from my emergency kit:

Advil

Bobby pins

Safety pins

Tampons

Facial powder or Blotting Papers (to reduce shine in photos)

Baby Powder (to shake in your shoes so your feet don’t get sweaty)

Hairspray

Handy wipes or wet ones

Kleenex

Toothbrushes (I love the colgate wisps)

Mouthwash

Doublesided tape

Small sewing kit

Shout wipes (this is the best to use on any stain)

Scissors

Tums

Altoids

I usually go to Walmart, Target and Jewel for travel size items. But you could buy full sized if you can’t find a mini of a certain item.

Merry Christmas from my family, to yours.
