1.
Instant mini-cosmetic bag! Stop digging through your handbag for your
lipstick. These are just right to keep a
set of make-up wands and tubes: mascara wand, brow wand or pencil, eyeliner,
eye shadow, lip stick and gloss or Chap-Stik, small vial of cologne/perfume. You can even get your gear into an evening
bag this way.
2.
Mini-manicure
set. Most manicure cases are a bit bulkier
than need be. Emory board, nail
clippers, orange stick, cuticle trimmer, nail polish remover pad, even a small
bottle of nail polish tuck together neatly in these shallow snack bags. I include tweezers with the manicure set to
make it a “tool bag.”
3.
Office
“diddlies:” paperclips, paper clamps, strip of staples (or mini-stapler and box
of staples), a handful of pens and markers.
Keep those assorted odd bits organized.
4.
Jewelry:
use a piece of plastic straw (see our earlier post!) to keep chains, necklaces,
bracelets from tangling. Then place them
in a snack-size bag. If you only
have/need a few pieces, this is far less bulk or weight than a jewelry bag or
roll.
5.
Have
a fragile piece of jewelry, such as a strand of pearls? Placing it in a little baggie helps protect
it from scratches. Even if you also use
a jewelry roll, bag it, then place it in the jewelry roll.
6.
Phone
charger. Protect it, and especially keep
that fragile cord from tangling.
7.
Ear
buds. Again, keep your cords from tangling. Prevent loss of those tiny earpieces.
8.
Slip
in business cards as you receive them at meetings, conferences, events. Label bag by event, or transfer them to your
business card storage system after the meeting.
9.
Batteries! Take batteries out of the awkward bubble pack
and zip them into bags. A snack-bag will
hold a large (16-24) bubble-card full of AA or AAA batteries. Great for spare small specialty batteries
(watches, hearing aids, etc), too.
More to come!
May your road rise to meet you!
