Between acting class, blogging, a boyfriend, an internship, and a social life – whew! – you are one busy girl! We get it. Behind every blog is a great blogger, but behind every blogger is a gal with a serious to-do list. Meanwhile, wardrobe malfunctions happen, and even though we certainly think you’re a super star, most of us aren’t armed with a team of stylists to fix us up. What’s a girl to do? Like the Boy Scouts say, be prepared. Here are 11 things every one of us need to keep in her purse, desk, or car.
1. Skid Out Eraser. You know what’s worse than those pesky deodorant marks. Noticing those deodorant marks once you’ve arrived to class. Skid out eraser removes them, and rumor has it the black sponge on dry cleaner hangers is the same thing and will also solve the problem.
2. Binder Clips. Call me crazy, but I have used binder clips in a pinch to make something smaller and they’ve been a life saver…and the fact that you can find them at work without buying your own is, of course, amazing. If you arrive and realize those pants or too big or worse, you lost a button, clip them to the right size with one binder clip, and then clip the fabric that is sticking out to your pants with the second one. All you need to do in make sure your shirt can cover the clips and you’re golden.
3. Shout wipes and club soda. Club soda can help remove stains and grease – just pour and rub gently. Since you can’t put a bottle of club soda in your purse, shout wipes can also be a quick garment saver.

I think tweezers are more important than razors. I’m confused why people buy special stuff to get out deodorant marks when you only need a wet wipe or just a wet paper towel???
Also I’d add always carry an extra pair of underwear just in case you have a hot UPS delivery man.

I like being prepared…but if all my essentials don’t fit in a medium purse, those items are staying home. I guess I am a low-maintenance girl.
