The first thing I keep in my bag is all the necessary cards I need; most importantly, my ID, key card, and bank card. These are the three things you need the most and are so important not to forget. I also always bring about 10 pounds of cash in case of emergencies, or if a bar or pub doesn’t take card.
Another night out essential is an Airtag, which I always have on me in case I lose my bag, so I can track it. I also keep a device in my bag called a Birdie, a safety alarm that sets off a piercing sound and a flashing strobe light when the top ring is pulled. It is especially important to stay safe with devices like the Birdie to protect yourself if you ever feel unsafe.
It’s very important that I don’t leave the flat without my portable phone charger. It’s pink to match my bag and has lots of juice to keep my phone charged. I never want to be anywhere, especially not at night, with a magically dead phone, so having a portable charger is very important.
I also always make sure to have Advil or ibuprofen with me. I tend to get a little overstimulated on nights out, so I always like to have medicine on me in case I also start to feel unwell.
My favorite thing I keep in my bag is my digital camera (which is of course, pink). I love taking pictures with all my friends on my camera and capturing memories of us together!
They are staples of my makeup routine, and small enough to easily fit into my bag.
Speaking of pictures… I can never leave the house without lip gloss, lipliner, eyeliner, and a little roller perfume. They are staples of my makeup routine, and small enough to easily fit into my bag. I always like to reapply before we take photos and halfway through the night as well.
These are all of my essentials for the perfectly crafted night out bag! So, take notes and remember to pack these items to have a fun and safe night out.
