My magical pouch

Well hello hello it's me again!
There is something you need to know about me, I am the kind of person who have a "magical" pouch full of important things for any types of accidents (I even have a mini sewing kit just in case). BUT BIG MISTAKE! Not so long ago I left it at home when I went ice skating. Mistake numero deux is that I didn't bring any socks so I ended up with three horrible blisters! Luckily I managed to buy bandages. I have been thought to learn from my past so therefore I'm sharing this experience to you guys.

Okay first of all, disclaimer: yes I'm kind of a paranoid person so I have these things in my pouch but it's better to have them than sorry right so your welcome. This is the list of what I have in my "magical" pouch:


 Bandages
First of all, you must have one or two bandages in your purse at all time. I usually have the ones with iodine in which is more practical because you don't need to bring a bottle of antiseptic solution. But if you don't have that in your drugstore, you can always buy some a small bottle of antiseptic solution and some regular bandages. You can also buy alcohol swab instead of iodine which is cheap to buy.


 Sewing kit or Safety pins
Like I've said before, I have a mini sewing kit in my pouch because I used to wear a uniform skirt which have brass hooks. Well you can always use a big and strong safety pins but I personally like to fix them by sewing right away than sewing them at home. Even if you don't wear uniforms it is very handy to have safety pins or a sewing kit. In my opinion, it's easy and cheap to buy both items but if you are that stingy, you can always  keep the free sewing kits from hotels.


 Nail clipper
I always have this in my bag because in my high school there are few rules about our nail and I don't really like them to long either. Nail clipper also have other functions such as trimming threads sticking out from your clothes. So for you guys who don't have a sewing kit (which usually include a super small scissors), you can cut an annoying thread with a nail clipper. 


 Hand sanitizer
It is one of my crucial items that I never leave at home because I personally do not trust soaps from public places. And I'm sort of a clean freak so I sometimes feel the need to clean my hands in buses or on the streets.




 Hair ties and bobby pins
I personally like my hair up in a ponytail when I'm in school or at least pinned to my sides, so I always have hair ties with me. It is also important to have some extra hair ties in case you broke yours. You can also complete this hair essential with  a small hair brush if you want to.

 Lip Balm
Okay, many people may think that it's so girly to have lip products well guess what lip balm is actually an essential for any season because chapped lips are not pretty and unhealthy. Just like any parts of your body, you should also take care of your lips. Plus when I travel from a place with different humidity, my lips tends to chapped rapidly.



 Menstrual Pads
Girls have period with that being said it's better if you are fully prepared. In middle school, one of my friend even bring disposable panties and a plastic bag. I never had those in my pouch but I highly recommend it to you younger girls who are new to this.



 Plastic Bag
The last item on this list is a plastic bag. I don't really use it but I did use it to cover my bag when it is raining because  most of my school bags are not water resistant. It's handy to use to save your books or important documents you are carrying from water. But recently, I change this to a foldable waterproof bag which function the same and you can reduce plastic when you went shopping.


That are all of the items I have in my "magical" pouch! Have fun creating your own!


P.S.
If you are wondering why I repetitively said the word magical, it is because the fact that my pouch fits to all of my bags in other words it is small but contains many things. Oh another important item I carry when it's rainy or cloudy (not in my pouch tough) is a small umbrella.
