5 Essentiels For The Mom On The Go

I think they’re few must-have items that every mom should have with her at all times, just to be prepared in case of a chaotic situation. Here are my top 5 life-savers.

The Mom Bag:

Invest in one great bag large enough to carry around all our daily “chose”–like this Gucci and Michael Kors. With such a fabulous bag no one will ever guess it’s filled with kid’s stuff!

Hand Sanitizer:

Little fingers loves touching all kinds of things, so you always have to be prepared. I always have hand sanitizer on hand just in case my son decides he must touch that germ filled surface. Bath and Body Pocketbacs are my fav because they smell utterly delicious.

Over-Sized Glasses:

Our morning routines can be brutal. Sometimes we can barely get dressed, much less put on make-up before we get out of the house. So instead I put on a pair of over-sized glasses. (It’s better than looking lie a raccoon because you did not have much sleep). We’ve all been there. Try these great shades from Bebe.

Light-Weight Scarf:

If you’re always cold like me, you’ll appreciate this. Carry a light-weight scarf with you to warm you up and also to hide those food stains you’ve acquired throughout the day, or to simply jazz up a plain outfit. Choose something neutral that can go with everything and can be worn year round. These American Apparel jersey scarves are so budget friendly, you can afford to buy them in every color!

Lip Gloos:

A lip Gloss is a necessity for me. I cannot leave or function without my lip gloss. I hardly ever use lipstick, unless I’m going somewhere special.  This Victoria Secret lip gloss is shiny and moisturizes your Twisted Citris lips immediately.

I was reading this article the other day and I had to share it with you. This story has moved…inspired and reminded me to never give up. Top Nineties model Kiara Kabukuru makes a triumphant comeback after near-fatal car accident destroyed her career 12 years ago.

Nineties model Kiara Kabukuru thought her career was over after a horrific car accident nearly killed her, after reconstructive surgeries and more than a decade of recovery, she is plotting her return.
The 37-year-old former Victoria’s Secret model was riding her bicycle around New York City on Memorial Day weekend in 2000 when she was hit by an 18-wheel truck, which left her face mutilated.
But thanks to some encouragement from her close friend, Gisele Bundchen, the Uganda-born beauty is ready to make her comeback; featuring in the first issue of Carine Roitfeld’s new magazine, CR Fashion Book, and now the March 2013 issue of W magazine.

Now, Ms Kabukuru is back, and apparently up for a major cosmetics contract.

‘In my life, there have been all these reversals of fortune,’ she said. ‘I think I was proving to myself my strength and my ability to survive. And now I am ready.’
