I'm not going to pretend - when it comes to getting ready for any sort of event I consider important (interview, fancy party, famous people), I become a total wreck. I become the useless type who needs an entire army to help them get ready. One thing living in New York City has taught me is to always expect the unexpected. There are outfit mishaps daily, and you never know when you're going to spill on yourself, wear the wrong underwear with leggings or break your shoes. That might be the #1 reason why women in NYC carry large purses.
But when the Holiday season comes around, we're all striving to be extra glamourous. The biggest baubles, the smokiest eyes and the highest heels are out on parade when you realize a disaster has occurred - how ever are you going to fix it? When everything seems to be going wrong, these next three quick fixes will come to your rescue.
Miss Oops Holiday Survival Kit - $18
Mr. Man is so notorious for getting deodorant on his shirt. You will not believe the number of times I've had to rub fabric to fabric in an attempt to remove any sign of his haphazardness. The Miss Oops Holiday Survival Kit understands that these things happen, and it packs everything you might need to fix any wardrobe malfunction you may have created. Featuring the Miss Oops Rescue Sponge (removes makeup, baby powder, and deodorant), Miss Oops Mishap Tape, and a travel size lint roller, each item is small enough to throw in your bag for any future "oops" you might encounter. As long as you look like you have it together, that's what counts, right?
Smart Heel Protectors - $11.95
Every woman can attest to how difficult it can be to navigate in heels - there are always subway grates, sewer grates, and even cobblestone streets all determined to chew up your shoes. If you're the type of gal who buys $20 heels, you might not find a need for Smart Heel protectors as much as the woman who purchases $500 shoes, but a love of shoes is a love of shoes nonetheless. Smart Heel is a plastic covering that ingeniously prevents your stunning stilettos from being chewed up by any number of streetbound obstacles. Smart Heels aren't meant for every type of heel - follow directions on the website closely before ordering to ensure that your shoe is compatible.
Origins Peace Of Mind Sensory Therapy On The Spot Relief - $10
We all have those days - the mariachi band on the subway, the important conference call you can't just seem to prepare for or the important event you have to dash to right after work - the days that never seem to end. When taking off your earrings or chugging mass amounts of coffee by 2pm isn't going to cut it, what are you going to do? If you've been fortunate to have been gifted the Origins Peace Of Mind On The Spot Relief, you'll reach into your desk drawer and dab a teensy amount on your pressure points for near-instant relief. Peace of Mind uses a mint-laced formula with mysteriously calming properties. Don't believe me? Stop by your local Origins location for a demonstration and you'll walk out with a Peace Of Mind product - guaranteed.
