Have you ever looked in your rearview mirror and caught a glimpse of an unsightly facial hair? The lighting is so perfect in your car. One of those “OH MY WORD, AM I BLIND!?  How did I miss that getting ready today….and yesterday…. and I guess all this month.  Anyway.  No problem because I have made an emergency car kit that has tweezers in it.  Tweezers and money and band aids.  Tylenol, feminine products, Neosporin, cough drops, hand sanitizer.  If you might need it, it’s there.

Sometimes my friends make fun of me because my purse is giant and full of things I may never need. I have a car sized emergency kit just in case…but who has the bee sting kit when your kid is running willy nilly through the flowers?  Me.

If you want to make an emergency kit that’s just right for you, here’s one way to do it:  I used a small-sized, empty Clorox wipe container. It’s a good size for a glove box, it will fit in a cup holder and it’s already clean!  Remove the inside plastic pieces and cover it with scrapbook paper if you want to.  Next, simply fill it with things you might need or want to have on hand.

You could also put in a spare container of the medications you take.  I have forgotten to bring medication on a weekend hotel stay and was soooo glad to have it in my kit.  I can’t tell you how often I have used it. Seriously.  Make one.  You’ll be glad you did.
