3 Things To Always Have With You
Not all of us carry tote bags big enough to haul a small child, and not everyone owns that coveted pair of14-pocket cargo pants, so we need to be picky about what takes up space in our pockets, purses and briefcases. To get the most roar for your room, make sure you always have these surprisingly useful everyday items with you.
Hand sanitizer
○ Obviously we’re all against the constant assault that flu season brings, but in addition to keeping your hands (and other surfaces) germ free, a bottle of the gel is also useful to squirt onto frozen car locks to help quickly break down ice. You can also use a dab of it to quickly shine up your cell phone screen or glasses.
Clear nail polish
○ Alright, guys, I know you might not be worried about chipping your new manicure, but hear me out. Clear nail polish has plenty uses outside of the beauty department. If you rip an article of clothing, dab some on the ragged threads to keep the cloth from unraveling further. If you scratch the paint on your car, cover the scratch from clear nail polish to keep it from rusting before you can get to the shop. If you’re tired of licking envelopes or stamps, paint a strip of polish on the seal instead.
A piece of a kitchen sponge
○ Sure, you can use it to clean up spills, polish leather and apply makeup, but you can also use this handy little guy to quickly remove deodorant stains (when the sponge is dry). You should also consider keeping one in your car with a plastic bag, because if your car starts to leak oil, a sponge on top of a plastic bag will effectively contain the fluid, minimizing fumes, until you can get it fixed.
