Year-end is finally here! Which means Christmas vibes, office parties, road trips, staycations, makan sessions, and a whole lot of “Eh, last minute plan, you coming or not?” 😆 Before things get chaotic, here’s your quick reminder to pack the essentials that keep life smooth.
1. Travel & Hygiene Minis
If you’re travelling out of town or staying over at someone’s place, having your own toiletries is such a game-changer. No more bulky bottles or depending on whatever’s in the hotel bathroom, as your body care and hair care favorites are on standby.
Essential items to include:
- Mini shampoo and body wash
- Compact deodorant
- Toothpaste and mouthwash
- Refreshing wet wipes
- Hand sanitizer
2. Skincare & Beauty Touch-Up
You know how it is.. you leave the house looking great, then by mid-day it’s hot, crowded, and suddenly someone says, “Let’s take a group photo!” That’s where a small touch-up kit help you feel camera-ready.
Useful items include:
- Sunscreen (please don’t skip this, even on cloudy days)
- Lip balm
- Facial oil absorbent paper
- Compact powder
- Setting spray
- Hydrating sheet masks for post-event recovery (Torriden is admin’s fav! It makes my skin super bouncy after use😌)
3. Wellness & Comfort Boosters
We all love the holidays, but wow, they can be tiring! Between late nights, long drives, and too much good food, a few small wellness items go a long way. So besides looking good on the outside, don’t forget to take care of yourself on the inside too.
Recommended essentials:
- Vitamin C or multivitamins
