Anything could happen anytime and anywhere, so it's best that you be ready for as many things as possible. Sometimes you'd be surprised at how under- or over-equipped a person is. Some items may vary among different people, depending on their own preferences and needs.
THE BASICS
- Identity card
- Cash
- Handphone
- Pen and/or pencil
- Camera
- Sunblock
- Painkillers
- Medicated oil
- Some disinfectant
- Water
- Panty liners (girls)
THE SHORT TRIPS
You should bring these along if you're just making a short trip to the city for shopping or such:
- Another bag to carry your shopping (reduce plastic bag use)
- Product / promo vouchers
- Membership cards
- Loose change
THE LONG DISTANCE TRIPS
Whether by car, train, bus or plane:
- Passports or similar documents
- Non-messy food
- Some form of a self-defense tool in the vehicle
- A change of clothes / shoes
- Wet wipes
- Mild perfume / cologne
- Nausea medicine
- Candy
- Makeup kit (for the more self conscious)*
- Sample-sized skin routine products
- Moisture mask
- Contact lens equipment
- Hand cream
- Hair styling product (the simple stuff)
- Jacket / shawl
- Breath mints
- Some form of entertainment
- Sunglasses
* Each person's makeup kit varies for the other, but these are the bare basics:
- A white eyeliner pencil can be used for highlighting key points of the face and eyes to reduce the tired look.
- Some pale pink lipstick / lip and cheek tint to add color to your lips and cheeks.
- Concealer for the sudden zits and such, as well as the dark circles.
- If you really do need eyeliner, opt for a dark-colored eye shadow instead of using a pencil / liquid, as using powder would be more forgiving in a moving vehicle.
- As for mascara, opt for one with a formula that would be quickly rubbed off in case you get some on your skin, but will still resist smudging after drying.
