Have you ever been running around like a madwoman between meetings, events, or even social gatherings only to find yourself feeling totally stressed, totally unkempt, and totally unprepared in every way?
Oh, have I been there, my love!
To ensure I arrive feeling calm, collected, and looking my best, I’ve learned to keep some key essentials in my bag at all times. Especially when my schedule is jam-packed from 9-5. Not only does having these items on hand make me feel totally on top of my game, but they also allow me to show up as the real me—not the frazzled, ungrounded me (not cute!).
Here are five things I can’t live without on a busy day, which I explain in further detail in the video so be sure to watch.
- My Journal: No, I’m not talking about writing down my feelings or documenting my day. Some of my best ideas pop into my head during and after great meetings so this is an absolutely necessity in capturing them!
- A Caveman Bar: I’d be in big trouble if I didn’t have a delicious, protein-packed snack on hand throughout the day; let’s just say I’d be incredibly “hangry.” I love Caveman because it’s made with all-natural, non-GMO ingredients, and has 5 grams of protein. . You’re going to love them!
- Lavender Essential Oil: When I have a busy day, I tend to get a touch stressed, especially if I’m running late. Putting a few drops of lavender essential oil (great for relaxation) on my wrists between events or meetings always brings me back to center.
- Oil Blotting Sheets: Arriving at an event or meeting with a super oily or sweaty face is not attractive or professional. So I always keep a packet of these guys with me to blot away any perspiration or debris.
- Statement Jewelry: Being out all day usually means you need to have a little something extra on hand to jazz up your outfit for evening. I always have a pair of beautiful earrings or a necklace with me to make me feel a little glammed up for a night out.
Now I’d love to hear from you! When you have a really busy day, what do you have in your purse to survive? Please share them in the comments below because we can all benefit from your tips. Love you!
