Anyone else feel like they never sit still anymore? Between work and travel and just the day to day hustle, we’re all busier than ever before which means if you’re a girl on the go like I am, you’ve gotta be always prepared. A peek into what’s typically stashed in my bag or within arm’s reach at all times:

1. Vaseline Lip Therapy: The Brits were really ahead of the game on this one… These little tins are magical! Vaseline Lip Therapy has been a U.K. cult favorite for years and just arrived stateside. They instantly quench dry lips to soothe and soften thanks to the dry skin healing power of Vaseline, which is perfect for winter weather or pre-flight. I currently have them stashed in every single bag I own + on my desk at both home and at the office – they’re available in 4 variants that all keep your lips moisturized for longer than anything else I’ve tried and add just the right amount of gloss and shine. If you’re a lipstick loving lady like me, they make the perfect base for matte lip color to preventing drying!

2. Quick Touch Up Kit: Girls on the go often end up getting ready on the go, whether you’re heading to cocktails from the office or freshening up in the airport restroom after a red eye. Stash an extra tube of mascara, oil blotting sheets or a translucent pressed powder and a blush/highlighter combo to touch up on the fly. For the easiest way to go from desk to drinks, have a tube of red lipstick and a pair of earrings or sparkly necklace on hand to instantly dress up any look!

3. GSD Essentials: The girl on the go is all about that #hustle and knows how to GSD anytime, anywhere. I love my Macbook Air because it’s lightweight and is a great in-flight companion for cranking on work while flying the friendly skies. I’ve also found it’s critical to always have a notebook and pen with ya – you never know when your next brilliant idea will strike! For moments of downtime I’m obsessed with the Kindle Paperwhite, it weighs practically nothing and allows you to always have a book handy (which is a way more productive use of time than aimlessly scrolling through Instagram!)

4. Stylish Storage: Just because you’re carrying around half of your life with you, doesn’t mean you’re stuck with an ugly bag! Look for roomy totes that can fit your laptop and everyday essentials – a classic leather tote can go with everything and makes for the ultimate travel companion. Keep everything inside organized with a few zipper pouches to make it easy to find what you need in a snap (nobody has time to do a full bag dig or dump out just to find what they need!)

5. Emergency Rations: There’s nothing worse than being hangry when you’re cruising through a full to do list, without a second to spare to stop and grab a bite to eat. Fight the hanger by stashing a protein bar and empty water bottle in your bag so you always have a snack on hand in case lunchtime flies by without you noticing or you get stuck at the airport for longer than expected.

What’s on your list of girl on the go essentials? Has anyone else tried the new Vaseline Lip Therapy tins yet? You can grab ’em at Target!
