Hey All!
I was recently asked the question, āWhatās in your take-along beauty and āsurvivalā kit this time of year?ā Surely, I can answer that question easily! The contents of my āAutumn On-the-Go Mom Kitā (as I like to call it) donāt change too much all year round. I just add a few more items because Iām even busier this time of year now that everyoneās back at school. I keep my kit inside my purse and itās with me everywhere I go. There are a few things I canāt leave home without and some things I add because theyāre a necessity when youāre a working mom and picking up kids from school.
The first items are my planner and some pencils. Do you know how many times kids forget pencils for school? ALL THE TIME! Some classes require #2 pencils and itās good to always have some stored away in my kit.
I also have my planner in my purse with me at all times. Itās to help me stay organized with all the carpool calendars to facilitate getting the kids to and from school and sports and more. I use my phone to keep track of my work calendar and my planner to keep track of the family schedules. Itās how I separate work from home.
When keeping track of things on my phone from my car, it would be great to have a car like the 2016 Chevrolet Traverse. It offers built-in 4G LTE Wi-FiĀ®*. This would allow me to easily connect wherever I go when Iām safely parked and can check my phone. That would be a godsend! Weāre on the market for a new car, so hopefully Santa will bring us a Chevrolet Traverse, as itās the perfect family car. I digressā¦
Since Iām always like a crazy person running out of the house this time of year, I always have a nail file, nail polish, a pair of tweezers and some lipstick, as well, inside my kit. These are all must-haves, as you never know what you forgot to pluck during this crazy time. Yes, folks, women need to pluck some stuff! Youāre also guaranteed to chip your nail polish or break a nail getting one of the kids into the car. Youāll need to have something to repair your nails, especially if you have a work meeting after you drop off the kids. They are truly a must-have!
This may not seem like a beauty kit essential, but when you have frizzy, curly hair like mine, it is! The autumn and winter times are the only times it actually rains here in sunny Southern California. I canāt let one drop of rain hit my straightened hair or it will turn into a big, frizzy mess. We canāt have that now, can we? No, sir!
I always like to smell fresh and clean, even when Iām running around like a mad woman. I also donāt like to have chapped lips, ever! I always have some perfume and lip balm in my kit as well.
This may seem a little weird to most, but I have a kit within my On-the-Go Mom kit. Itās a little kit I got on my wedding day, which has come in handy so many times; I donāt leave home without it.
Inside this little gold and white striped bag you see above youāll find everything from bandages to breath freshener to dental floss, clear nail polish, stain remover wipes, aspirin, hairspray and more! Believe it or not, all that fits in that little bag! Itās an emergency kit within my On-the-Go Mom kit.
And last but not least, this is not so much a beauty item, but I always have it inside my On-the-Go Mom kit. I always have some candies and snacks for the kids and myself. They usually want a snack when we get stuck in traffic on the way home from school. Itās always good to have something inside your On-the-Go Mom kit to be ready for those occasions. I donāt drink much coffee, so the candy will give me a little sugar-boost pick- me-up if Iām starting to lose my energy. Itās not the healthiest fix, but during this crazy busy time, it gets the job done!
My Autumn On-the-Go Mom kit sure would be complete with a Chevrolet Traverse. It would be the ultimate thing I would take around with me wherever I went.
With spacious seating, ample cargo space and available safety and entertainment technologies, thereās no better vehicle to bring the family together than the Chevrolet Traverse.
I hope you enjoyed this look at whatās inside my Autumn On-the-Go Mom Kit.
