“I never leave the house without it” is a sentence we hear all the time. Many of us have our perfect everyday handbags that keep our regular on-the-go items us at all times- cell phone, makeup, and other key essentials. But, what if your cell phone dies and you forgot to bring your portable charger? What do you do when you remember the travel-sized bottle of hand lotion is sitting on the kitchen counter? These common crises can be solved with this simple lifehack guide; it’s time you started to rethink how you pack your everyday handbag.

• Swiss Army Credit Cards: Don’t you wish there was a simpler way to carry a pair of travel scissors, a nail file, a screwdriver, tweezers, AND a letter opener? The smart and space-savvy engineers at Victorinox Swiss Army, the makers of the original Swiss Army knife, have developed a credit card sized version of their famous utility kit! Slip the toolkit right into your wallet next to your bank card and withdraw any doubt that you can’t take on the day.
• Make-Up Remover: Imagine you’re enjoying a nice celebratory dinner with a few close friends. Everyone is laughing at a joke the waiter made in passing and lost in laughter, you spill a little pasta sauce on your white pants. While it was bound to happen, you never compromise a killer outfit for anything; not even for an incredible plate of Fettuccine Al Pomodoro. You step away from the table to use the bathroom, grab your generic brand of makeup wipes, dip the tissue under cold water, and muscle that stain out of your life. You rejoin the group an accomplished woman who yields no mercy towards perfectly prepared pasta.
• Folding Utensils: While we’re on the subject of food, eating on the go can be frustrating too. 1) You’re not able to properly sit down and enjoy your meal. 2) If you’re walking and eating using plastic forks, you have to eat a little slower so as to not drop or break your flimsy culinary instruments. 3) Plastic utensils often times aren’t included in your meal and sometimes you would like to consume your food with an added layer of class and decorum. A pair of folding metal “sporks” and knives are easy to find, easy to store, and easy to clean. Being prepared and space conscious make for a perfect combination. Bonus Tip – Buy a collapsible bowl and complete your quick anywhere-dining set!
• Contacts Case for Lotion: If you often forget to put on lotion before you venture out into the world, keep a contact case filled with your favorite moisturizer in your bag. Remember, minimal additions to your bag can become a huge life saver!
• Keychain Emergency Cell Phone Charger: You weren’t planning on taking 40 pictures of your ice-cream date with your best friend and you weren’t planning on having your cell phone die before you’re able to go home. In a pinch, you can take out your Varo Mini Keychain Battery Charger to bring your phone back to life with enough power to beckon a Lyft driver to your location.

These five small solutions can save you space, stress, and strain while you’re leading an active lifestyle. If you liked these little life hacks, share this with your friends and like us on social media to be updated every time we post!
