Is there anything more refreshing than the arrival of spring after a long, cold winter?
Flowers are blooming, the grass is green again, and you're finally able to spend time outdoors enjoying it all. After being cooped up in the house all winter, it's revitalizing to spend time under the bright blue sky, with the wind blowing against your face, and the sun warming your skin.
If you're like me, you are probably spending a lot more time outside and being more active in general. There will be trips to the zoo, amusement parks, outdoor date nights, camping, outdoor sports, and so on.
Keeping fresh while actively living life to the fullest can be a challenge. Your problem is solved with this 'Keep Fresh' purse kit. It's also a handy kit to have in your car for when you're on the go, or in your desk drawer at the office for after a walk on your lunch break or after a business meeting over dinner--wherever you might need a quick refreshing.
{Pick a Bag}
Pick a cute bag to hold your 'Keep Fresh' essentials. It can be as big or small as you want it to be. You can find inexpensive cosmetic bags, like the one above that I used. If you're like me, you probably have a bunch of unused cosmetic bags that you've somehow accumulated over the years. It seems like they're often "free gifts" with purchase for makeup or facial care products. This is a great use for them!
{The Contents: Deodorant}
Travel sized deodorant is a must have in your 'Keep Fresh' kit. Have you ever left the house and suddenly realized that you somehow forgot to apply deodorant? It's horrifying. What a relief to have extra deodorant with you! Even on the good days, you can sneak in a workout during a break at work and reapply your deodorant so you still smell fresh.
{The Contents: Body Spray}
Sometimes you need to smell fresh and sometimes your space needs to smell fresh--body spray can serve both purposes. Don't forget to be mindful of the people around you, just a little bit will do-- use too much and you'll have the opposite of fresh.
{The Contents: Cleansing Wipes}
Cleansing wipes can be so refreshing. Apparently, I inherited a pesky 'sweat-a-lot' gene and it's both disgusting and embarrassing. If you're spending the day outside and you've been hot and sweaty--these can be so refreshing. You can workout and play like a beast and, with the help of cleansing wipes, you can leave smelling like a beauty.
{The Contents: Extra® Gum Polar Ice®}
Most of us probably carry gum around with us, but not everyone has gum to spare! Help your friends stay fresh with the new Extra® 35-stick pack available at Walgreens--you'll have enough gum to share. I found it in the candy & gum aisle.
This gum is especially handy because it comes in durable packaging (that's also recyclable). It's a clear plastic case that firmly seals shut. I hate it when my gum gets lost (and ultimately wasted) at the bottom of my purse because it falls out of the package-- this new packaging fixes that problem.
{The Contents: Dental Flossers}
You could carry around a toothbrush and toothpaste, but I don't know a lot of people who do that. These dental flossers will prevent you from having that piece of meat stuck between your teeth all day. Flossing is good for you and many of us don't do it enough. Convenience makes flossing a lot easier. A quick flossing with one of these guys, pop a piece of Extra® Gum Polar Ice® (or Spearmint) in your mouth, and you're good to go--fresh breath and all.
With these essentials, you should be fresh all season long!
What would you put in your 'Keep Fresh' purse kit? Is there an item that you find yourself wishing you had but always forget to keep in your purse? Will you include Extra® Gum Polar Ice® or the Spearmint flavor? How will you #GetExtraGiveExtra?
