5 Products You Don't Leave Home Without

beauty 5 Products You Dont Leave Home WithoutI never leave home without my handbag!  It doesn't matter if I'm just running a quick carpool or stopping by the store for a gallon of milk.  I always make sure to have my handbag with me!  And, no matter what handbag I'm carrying I always make sure to have my top 5 products hidden somewhere inside!    

  • Lip Balm – I'm not one for lipstick, but I try never to go without lip balm.  It keeps my lips from looking chapped or dry and adds just a hint of shine.  
  • Scented lotion – it helps with my dry skin and to keep my hands soft should I be faced with an unexpected introduction.  Plus, the light scent can cover up that awful 'car' smell that comes with running around all day with kids!
  • Gum – This helps to keep my smile bright, my breath fresh, and always helps with a quick boost of confidence.  
  • Sunglasses – yes, they help shelter my eyes.  But, having them in my purse can help in a pinch when I need to do something with my hair.  It can easily turn my post exercise hair into something fun and relaxed with little effort.  
  • Nail Clippers – I have always been prone to hang nails.  If left too long I tend to irritate them and create hands that look much worse than they need to.  By keeping clippers in my bag I can easily clip a torn nail or a piece of skin and keep my hands looking healthy!
