Don't Be Sorry! Avoid Embarrassing Moments at All Costs.

What's in your purse? How big is it? Some women like really big hand bags and others like them small. Some go for the one's with lots of pockets. Then there's the women who prefer to go backpack or fanny pack style. No matter what your preference there's just some things a woman should have on hand to avoid those embarrassing moments that according to Murphy's Law, will get you when you least expect it.

To help you avoid those situations, here's list of the absolute essentials:

Cosmetics:

1. Lipsticks and lip gloss
2. Eyeliner and mascara and an eyebrow pencil
3. Powder (to tone down the shine) and blush

(AVON's mark flip-for-it kit has lipsticks, lip glosses, blush and eyeshadows all in one unit. It's the perfect space saver)

Dont' forget to have a small mirror. That can be an easy one to forget. You can always rely on the one that's in your powder compact (if that's the type you use) but I find it handy to have just the small mirror itself.

For the hands:

How many times have you had to ask a co-worker for nail polish (runner in hose) or a file? It's time for you to be the one people who aren't prepared go to:

1. Nail file.
2. Nail clippers.
3. Nail polish.
4. Spare nails (if you wear fakes)
5. Hand lotion.

Hair:

1. Always have a brush or comb on hand.
2. Clips
3. Hair elastics
4. Band or scarf for those windy days
5. and of course hair spray

Odds and Ends:

1. Your favourite perfume.
2. And of course the usual: cell phone, etc.
3. For those of you who work in an office setting, don't forget that extra pair of hose!

And there you have it! The essential woman's survival kit!

Torture by Chocolate

Last month I got this great idea to order a demo of Mark self santuary chocolate orchid body butter. It sounded good! And when I got it - it smelled good...too good!

I quickly spread it all over me lil' bod and then it happened. A massive chocolate craving washed over me like a flood. I panicked. There was no way to get to a store to satisfy my craving.

Meanwhile, the rich smell of chocolate was teasing my nostrils sending my brain into chocolate spasms. I opened the jar back up and sat smelling the sweet smell of chocolate. My body relaxed as the soothing scent of chocolate quietly flowed into every cell of my being. Chocolate. Chocolate. Chocolate.

I could stand it no longer! I dashed into the kitchen, grabbed the container of Nestle Toll House cocoa and made a large jar of homemade chocolate syrup. Three days later - I'd finished the jar.

Lesson learned. Never wear chocolate during the day. AND! Mark's self sanctuary chocolate orchid should come with a warning label: This body butter could possibly cause excess weight gain and unnecessary body fat. :]

(from what i understand, the chocolate body butter won't be available until Jan 8, but it's so worth making yourself hungry over.) :]
